This week on the Dan & David Show, we check out Internet Explorer 7, which was officially released into the world at 5 PM PST on Wednesday. It's a major improvement to IE 6, but it doesn't leapfrog Mozilla. I was launch event for Sun's Project Blackbox, a portable data center with a few million dollars worth of equipment that occupies a standard shipping container. Dump one in your back yard and you can become your own neighborhood hosting provider and compute grid utility. The Blackbox is will be useful for rapid deployment and for providing compute infrastructure in remote locations.

David rants about the Motorola Q shutting down a few times a day for no good reason, and we discuss again the merits of salesforce.com's Apex platform as well as the HP and Apple selling lots of PCs.
