Which Computer Books For Prisoners?

Brian D. writes "I've recently begun working with a group that sends books to prisoners in federal and state prisons. We try to match their requests as well as we can. One request that we consistently have trouble filling is for computer books. This is not for lack of books, but because the prisoners' requests tend to be vague and their computer resources are obviously severely limited. Keep in mind that we send prisoners all types of books — from gardening and landscaping to cooking and sailing — about topics they don't have the resources to experiment with. With basically one shelf devoted to books on computing, what types of books should I tell them we should keep? What are the best types of books to send a prisoner who requests a book on 'computer repair?'"

Blackberry Storm Pricing Leaks On Vodafone UK

Earlier we learned that it was Verizon's requests that've partly crippled the Blackberry Storm, but we at least hope Verizon follows the lead of Vodafone UK and prices the thing reasonably. The Vodafone pricing scheme's just out, and it's seemingly good news: under a 12-month contract the phone costs the equivalent of $485 at its cheapest, but if you go for an 18-month contract it's free. Does that bode well for the un-contracted handset pricing over here? We'll have to wait and see. [PocketLint]

MyBoxTone Expert for BlackBerry

Ask a handful of seasoned BlackBerry administrators about the most common smartphone-related help desk requests, and you'll likely get very similar answers: device provisioning issues, e-mail latency, wireless coverage issues, and the like. In other words, problems that are relatively simple to fix with the right know how, but that can put novice or beginner users out of commission quicker than you can say "downtime."
