After seeing how well Psystar did with its Open
Computer, we think we'll just build our own Hackintosh rather than jump into this OpeniMac
we've recently been hepped to. But who knows? Maybe you've been dying to send your hard earned
money down to some shady Argentinean characters. In that case, this 2.53GHz machine should be right
up your alley. Selling for $990 (or $1,330 with an LG 19-inch monitor), the base unit ships with
2GB memory, 320GB storage, and a 256MB ATI Radeon HD PRO. If you've got deep pockets, $1,710 will
get you the OpeniMacPRO, a 3.0GHz machine with a 20-inch widescreen monitor and 4GB RAM. But
seriously -- who knows where the money goes? And who knows whether you'll ever see the machine? One
thing is for certain, however -- this case is as ugly as sin.
[Thanks, Santiago]

Ezra Klein / American Prospect:
WHAT IS LIFE WORTH? — What is six months of your life worth?
And don't say priceless. It's not priceless. Not if you're not paying. So let's
sharpen the question: What should six months of your life be worth to your insurer, be that
insurer the government or Aetna?

/Personalized recommendations have always been one of those technologies that look great on paper,
but hardly ever work quite as well as advertised. This week, we got a chance to test a
href="http://www.my6sense.com/"my6sense/a, which takes your feed subscriptions and then recommends
interesting posts based on your own reading habits. My6sense's current focus is on providing a good
mobile experience, though the company will soon also launch its service on the web as well./p
pWhile it did take a bit of training before the application fully recognized our preferences and
before it returned really good results, the overall results were very impressive./p p
align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12820amp;cb=12820'
target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12820amp;n=12820' border='0'
alt='' align="right" //a/p h2Features/h2 pSo how does it work? When you first sign up, my6sense can
import your RSS feeds (from Google Reader, Netvibes, MyYahoo, or from a standard OPML file). After
that, all you have to do is read your feeds through the web app and my6sense will automatically
learn from your reading behavior (my6sense calls this "digital intuition"). You can also explicitly
give a 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' on any post./p pimg alt="my6sense_sshot.png" align="right"
src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/my6sense_sshot.png" /My6sense is also a very capable RSS
reader in its own right, with the built-in ability to share items on Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed,
and LinkedIn, as well as by email. One very nice feature of the app is that it also allows you to
see comments on posts from supported blogging platforms./p pCurrently, my6sense is only available
as a web app, but the company expects to have a native iPhone application in the App Store by the
time the service launches its public beta early next year./p h2Training/h2 pOn a mobile device,
good recommendations can be quite a time saver. Having to scroll through numerous feeds can quickly
become frustratingly slow. In our tests, it took a day or two of regular usage before my6sense
started to come back with really good recommendations. As Kristie Wells, my6sense's VP of Marketing
and Community Relations told us, the company is working on providing a better out-of-the-box
experience that will learn faster, but given our positive experience, training the software off and
on for a day or two is well worth it./p h2Attention/h2 pimg alt="my6sense_sshot_item.png"
align="right" src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/my6sense_sshot_item.png" /We also talked to
the two co-founders of my6sense, Barak Hachamov and Avinoam Rubinstainem,/em earlier last month and
we asked them if they were going to support any of the open attention profiles like the a
href="http://www.apml.org/"APML/a, which would make it possible for users to take their attention
profile and transfer it to other news readers. For now, however, the company says that it is
focused on providing a good user experience for its alpha testers, though they didn't rule out
support for the APML in the future./p h2Invites/h2 pOur experience with my6sense has been very
positive, but you don't have to take our word for it. While the service is still in private alpha,
they have provided us with 500 invites for our readers. Just a
href="http://www.my6sense.com/rww"click here to claim yours/a and let us know if it worked as well
for you as it did for us./p stronga
