There is no doubt SSDs are the new darlings of the PC industry, especially for laptops and mobile applications. As projections predict cost effectiveness and a major SSD assault by 2011, suppliers like Samsung and SuperTalent are rushing to promote new promising products.
So where does this leave traditional hard disc manufacturers? They are probably very [...]
Many times Apple gets it right. This time though the timing was incredibly hopeless. Releasing the Macbook Air just before the torrent of new netbooks floods the market was in my opinion a horrible idea. For more than one reason. Here is five good ones:

Very few cities are as charismatic as New York for huge ads on buildings. The concentrated tall buildings create artificial canyons and unavoidably passerby stares cannot escape from the constantly changing huge LED boards.

The expressions are a direct reaction to complete measurements of soil conditions, temperature, humidity and water.

Intel might be spreading its wings with Atom for the mobile skies, but nobody says that the new CPU family is not suitable for desktop nettop applications. TranquilPC of the UK is a good example, already listing on its site models with a Microsoft or Linux OS and usual, low cost optical drive and hard [...]

Cheap netbooks are all the rage these days but nothing beats a great looking desktop box like that of the Acer Predator
These days it is impossible to walk into a shop and not find a large percentage of products manufactured -or at least assembled- in China. Chinese labour costs are so lucrative that factory capacity has been transferred with the same ease that service contracts were awarded to Indian companies.
The way things develop with rising oil [...]
The automotive industry has been many times described as old and out of fashion. It is not a secret that in many cases automotive companies had to be virtual dragged by customer demand or sheer competition for new innovations and features. In the last two decades the value percentage attributed to car electronics is steadily [...]
