To supplement all the iPhone buzz, I thought I'd throw up a few totally unrelated links/stories I found in my feed aggregator to make you a well-rounded geek. Read the rest of this entry ...

Simple Question: Is there a way to change a running window from Display A to Display B? For instance, if I have an instance of an application running on my Linux box at home, is there a command that will remove the window from the display at home and re-route it my Windows laptop running Xming and PuTTY? Or am I forced to use some VNC to get what I want?

I won't ask you "why not"... But you can still see the picture at this link, just not as clearly. More web geek discussion ahead ... Read the rest of this entry ...
