...MacBook continues Apple's move towards an exclusively Intel-based lineup, and while a lot of software now runs directly on the new chip (for instance, Logitech's mouse and keyboard drivers), there are two major hold-outs, Adobe and Microsoft. You can use most of their programs on the new Macs, but they run only with help from Apple's invisible Rosetta software translator. My wife, an avid user of Office apps on her new employer-issued MacBook Pro, says that when she has several Office programs running simultaneously, she notices delays in typing and other subtle sluggishness...
Darcy Burner knew that prospective Democratic candidates sometimes left in tears after meeting Representative Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, who heads the party's efforts to recapture the House and was the one-man screening committee for recruits. Burner, an alumna of Harvard and Microsoft, didn't cry.

"This Microsoft mom is going to be part of us taking back the Congress," Emanuel said hoarsely at a rally in a Mercer Island, Wash., community center last week...
...another review of an eagerly anticipated smartphone. And yes, the Motorola Q is fairly similar to high-powered consumer phones in other parts of the world. (It looks like a Palm Treo that's been flattened with a rolling pin.) But the Q brings the first-ever pairing of Microsoft's Smartphone operating system - which comes with Outlook and Pocket MSN, including Hotmail and messaging, built in - with a QWERTY keyboard that makes text messaging a lot easier...
...Although this is not a business phone - the Q lets you view Microsoft Office documents but not edit them and, unlike the new Treo 700p, can't be used as a wireless modem - it's not exactly an entertainment phone either. Verizon has yet to work out a pricing plan that allows the Q to work with its V Cast streaming videos and high-quality music downloads. Stuck in the middle, the Q is for sale at the $200 mark (provided you renew your contract, etc.), just above most V Cast phones and just below Verizon's duo of Treos...
