Look before you leap before buying the new iPhone. This is the iPhone that all of us have been waiting for. It promised to address the deficiencies of the first generation iPhone, but does it really?
1. Too expensive to own. Apple and AT&T may have shaved a couple of hundred dollars off the price but they will more than make up for it in monthly fees. If you take into account the regular monthly fee, the data fee, the text message fee,…

The evolution of what’s clogging your PC. Move it all the way out.
So what made me think things were better? Well, one thing we noted in our last comparison was that Gateway had spaced out how their crapware was presented. Their craplets didn't hit you in the face like mortar rounds during the first boot….
One of India’s 28 states plans to distribute 100,000 Linux laptops to students there. It sounds like Tamil Nadu’s volume purchasing agent decided to use Linux exclusively after being put off by Microsoft’s bundling tactics for academic users.

Absolutely hilarious comic strip about somebody trying to open a screw on their Mac.
Just for the record, you should know that your a total douche. How can you complain and whine like a little bitch when all it took was a little bit of research on the internet. A fucking Google search you moron. Just because you have a complete…
Toshiba will launch its Qosmio G50 and F40 machines with the chip, which contains four of the “Synergistic Processing Elements” from the Cell Broadband Engine processor. The Cell chip used in the PlayStation 3 has eight of the SPE cores plus a Power PC main processor. The SPE cores perform the heavy number-crunching that makes the console’s graphic

Getting started with the Asus Eee PC can be a challenge if you're not Linux user. This is one user's journey (or at least, the start of the journey) as he tries to get started with the Eee PC and Linux.
After a couple of days of use I was totally frustrated - enough to use my soapbox at Hydrapinion for a rant titled “Eee PC proves why Linux blows”. You see, installing extra applications to the Eee PC is a pain and, if you manage to…

great to install xp on your vista
Dear Sir, Indeed your information is unique about how to install 2nd OS on the pre-installed Windows Vista. But unfornately i have failed to install another OS (XP) on my laptop which came with pre-installed Windows Vista. I have…
Mart Shuttleworth discusses Canonical’s new Ubuntu Netbook Remix: goals, design decisions, license, project status, relations to OEM’s and… “Were also working with two companies that want more radical user interface innovation.”
We specifically wanted to do this project as an Ubuntu Remix - based on standard Ubuntu 8.04 packages, with modified package selection and some additional code, but leaving the core platform packages unmodified. In terms of the trademark…

Instant-on, with a comfortable keyboard and 20 hours of battery life: Little wonder this Radio Shack model is one of the most popular portables of all time. PCWorld offers a look at the guts of this featherweight champion.
Twenty-five years ago, Radio Shack released the first wildly successful laptop computer in the United States. The TRS-80 Model 100 was simple, rugged, plentiful, and reliable, selling over six million units during its eight-year life…

Microsoft stepping in is the symptom, not the disease,? he said in the interview. The issue, in his view, is whether the tools that bring computing to children are agnostic on learning? or take a position on learning.? O.L.P.C. has become implicitly agnostic about learning,? he said.
Strangely enough, I find myself agreeing with more than one angle of this story. Mr. Negroponte has said that some people looked upon OLPC as a weapon in the battle for Open-Source operating systems. And, he says that is not what OLPC is…
The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project has revealed plans for its next-generation mobile computing device. It will have a clamshell form-factor with two 16:9 touch-screen displays and no hardware keyboard, it is expected to sell for $75 per unit and will be available in 2010. That’s the hope, at least. Will the projects troubled history repeat?
Those problems will hopefully be worked out by the time OLPC 2.0 is launched. OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte says that the clamshell design of the new laptop is modeled after a book. It will be smaller and lighter than the XO and can also be…
OLPC founder Nick Negroponte just unveiled the next-gen XO Laptop, and it totally blows the original away. Smaller and more like a foldable book, it does away with the keyboard and trackpad to go totally touchscreen?that’s right, dual touchscreens, straight out of the future, like a kid’s book in Minority Report.
Enhanced Book Experience - Dual-touch sensitive displays will be used to enhance the e-book experience, with a dual-mode display similar to the current XO laptop. The design provides a right and left page in vertical format, a…

Looks better than my laptop
The system will employ the dual indoor-and-sunlight displays, which was pioneered by former OLPC CTO Mary Lou Jepsen. The design will provide a right and left page in vertical format, a hinged laptop in horizontal format, and a flat,…
