MSI Wind Custom Mod -- Now with Touchscreen

The MSI Wind is undoubtedly one of the most durable netbooks available -- of course, Nokia's Booklet 3G is suffice to say, just as enduring. Whilst the humble netbook's overall form factor has not changed drastically over the past couple of years (besides increasing screen real-estate, keyboard size and a few other minor transmutations) this may be one of those endearing changes.

Insanely Wind Forum member c0ff33, has drastically modded his beloved MSI Wind; using slider based phones as a model, he was able to invert the 10.1-display on top of the keyboard (which might we point out is now a resistive touchscreen). As an added bonus he moved the power button next to the screen whilst also adding a button to choose either Win7 or OSX upon system boot. -- Does it get much better than this, I think not.

Feb 3 - NASA Found a UFO flying at 11,000 MPH

O my gosh u guys! NASA has apparently said they have found a "X-shaped object" traveling at like a million miles an hour (11,000 mph to be exact) and of course, word has spread like wildfire around the internets and we are going along for the ride. You can see that there is something wrong with this comet or as NASA puts it "This is quite different from the smooth dust envelopes of normal comets".
