Recent postsRemember all the netbook noise back in May? Computex seems months old and in the meantime we have had many distractions in the form of new camcorders, cameras, TVs, iPhones, audio equipment… But the netbooks are coming, and even if there is some delays like in the case of the MSI Wind, the market will [...]
So Dell has decided to pull the plug right? Well not really, because although the mothership has decided to stop XP sales at the end of this month, you can still play the back-door man and wait it out with XP till the arrival of Windows 7. Here is some options:
Buy a new computer with [...]
The new Mac OS 10.6 also known with the code name Snow Leopard will arrive in about a year. It will support up to 16TB of RAM, improve multi-core support and generally tidy up internal operations. As for Windows Vista, it is this time for development teams to focus on smooth operation or maybe shortcomings [...]
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:
Looks: The Macbook air is cute and thin, but so are [...]
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 [...]

Poor Microsoft. You have been hammered by almost everyone about the instability of Windows Vista. But what can you do when the largest GPU supplier writes low quality driver software that causes the whole OS to crash?
NVIDIA’s G80 architecture caused many problems throughout 2007 and the pie chart above -based on Microsoft data- [...]
UMPC sales have not exactly taken off. Being a product segment squeezed between light laptops and smartphones makes life very difficult indeed. That does not of course subtract any conceptual value from Jean Hong’s design, a combination of UMPC and alarm clock. It consists of two pieces that can be manipulated for use in your [...]
Since the appearance of Windows 3 and the proliferation of Microsoft’s operating system, the comparison with Apple’s Macs and operating systems is a popular and never-ending issue of discussion. A lot of ink -and now web pages- are devoted to a topic with no clear answers in sight. The equation became even more complicated when [...]
About 2 weeks ago we discussed here whether the Lumenlab Q is worth $10,000. I did not hide the fact that I fancy its daring and innovative concept, but unfortunately a 10K product is definitely not accessible by the majority of us.
Earlier this week, Lumenlab presented the cheaper Q42, as a follow up to two [...]

Worry no more because Lumenlab has taken a drastic measure to satisfy you, it is actually bringing to the market a device that is HDTV and PC at the same time!

Further to our post yesterday on PC game piracy and the tendency towards online downloads and online gaming, EA’s confirmation of the changes to come arrives in the form of its new Battlefield iteration. Unlike the traditional model, the idea here is to give gamers the software online for free but get revenue as they pay for cool equipment and clothes [...]
Since the inception of computer gaming, piracy has been a great headache. Access to the web and the downloading of pirate copies has exacerbated the problem beyond all proportions. As most titles are released in autumn for the Christmas party buildup, January is a good time to look back and judge the sales results. There [...]
eSATA is offering the convenience of internal SATA speeds with a connector that lets external drives be connected to a PC. The aim is to provide the convenience of USB or Firewire. The later have been around for some time now, have a huge user pool and present a formidable obstacle to wide eSATA adoption. [...]
Some Windows Vista users have already installed the beta version of Service Pack 1. Now Microsoft publicly releases SP1 RC Refresh, to be used as the final test before the final release. Unlike initial XP safety vulnerabilities, Vista has fared much better in this sector, but not well enough in others, as for example in [...]
Intel announced yesterday Thursday it is pulling out of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. The OLPC project is the creation of MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte and has passed several hurdles to arrive at the critical point of being able to realistically serve children of developing markets.
The first major problem was that the projected [...]
