Jenson Button once again pulled away from the field to take the checkered flag for Brawn in Sunday’s Formula One race in Bahrain Spain and 31 of a possible 40 championship points after winning three of the first four races in the 2009 Formula One season. Button raced like a man possessed to make his way through a tough field of determined racers and was able to keep his car together and out in front for most of the race.
The start was the key as he was able to take advantage of Lewis Hamilton’s sudden arrival between the Toyotas in the run to the first turn to stay high and squeeze around the outside of Sebastian Vettel in Turn One, and into third behind the Toyotas. He just waited for the leaders to pit and then pulled into the front and never really looked back.
Button raced intelligently and fast, waiting his time and only losing the lead for a few laps after his stops on lap 15 and lap 37, before retaking the lead for the last time and never being threatened again by the field.
Button reported the failure of an electrical box in his cockpit that heated him up a bit, but other than that called it one of his best afternoons of racing in his career.
Barrichello decided on a pre-race strategy of three stops that didn’t work out and was disappointed to finish the race in fifth, just ahead of Raikkonen, but was still able to grab Ferrari’s first point of the 2009 Formula One season with his fifth place finish.
Vettel really lost his opportunity in the first run to Turn One, with Hamilton on the right and Button on the left he got squeezed out and stuck behind the leaders, which cost him rubber and speed. He stayed strong through most of the race and was able to race his way past Trulli to take second and continue to show the strength of his resolve and racing skill.
Trulli had a brain freeze and decided to change his tires to primes and lost time, before changing back to super-soft tires and gaining ground to finish third. A disappointing finish considering expectations and qualifying times, so the decision to change tires will certainly be questioned by many.

The legendary Bob Dylan is releasing a new album tomorrow titled Together Through Life (pick up the Deluxe Edition!) and I think it looks amazing. He’s got classics on there like “Jolene,“ “I Feel a Change Bob Dylan Poster Comin’ On” and he’s got some great duets like “You’ve Got a Friend” with Carole King and “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” with T Bone Burnett.
Dylan has also announced that he will be doing a summer tour at minor league baseball parks across the U.S. with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. This will be the second time in 24 years that the trio has shared a stage.
The tickets haven’t gone on sale yet but, starting on May 2, 2009 you can pick some up at ballpark box offices or through Ticketmaster. The price will be $67.50 for general admission but children under 14 years of age will get in free! It could be a great way to spend the day with the family outdoors while enjoying some excellent music!
You can also check out the tour page on Bob Dylan’s official site since it seems to be updated regularly and has links/dates for when and where to buy tickets.

MSI released the Wind U100 not long ago, and now they have unveiled yet another Wind U100 – except that it comes with a PLUS. So you might be wondering what are the additional special features of the Wind U100 PLUS?
Of course, the Wind U100 PLUS comes with the latest 1.66GHz Atom N280 processor as well as utilizing Intel’s 945GMS chipset. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything to shout about when it comes to the chipset as it still has a laggish GMA950 integrated graphics which I don’t really think you can use to play any sort of games in the market.
Here are the rest of the hardware configurations:
10-inch LCD (1,024 x 600)
Up to 2GB of DDR2-533 RAM
160GB hard drive
4-in-1 multicard reader
VGA output
3 USB 2.0 sockets
3-cell or 6-cell battery
WiFi
Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
1.3 megapixel webcam
MSI claims that the 6-cell Wind U100 PLUS can provide you with 7 hours of extended usage – but we all know that these claims always come with a clause.
There’s no mention on the price and availability just yet.

Seriously speaking, Fujitsu manufactures one of the most expensive computers in the market. Frankly speaking, I don’t know why would anyone in the right mind would want to splash good cash into Fujitsu’s electronics as most likely, their components are pretty similar with what you are getting from other computer manufacturers – Intel chipset and Intel processors.
On the other hand, Fujitsu has recently unveiled their latest upgrades for their FMV-Deskpower series. In fact, there is an available RAM upgrade for the all-in-one F-Series; a Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and 1TB hard drive for its LX Series. And as for the Deskpower CE series, you can upgrade the processor.
Sporting a 19 inch display, the FMV-Deskpower also comes with 500GB storage, and 4GB RAM.
Not sure how much this particular all-in-one PC would cost, but I’m sure Fujitsu would be charging you a premium for all the same components that you are getting.
