Down fall of UMPC – Cheap Netbooks
I always wanted a UMPC and somehow never thought I would like Netbooks. My favorite UMPC was the OQO and its slick design. Well now it seems that the OQO is not going so well.
I think that the major reason for this shift is the power and affordableness of the new Netbooks. Lenovo, MSI, Dell, Asus, Acer, HP all have entries in this product category. I am sorry to see the OQO go but I am definitely interested in seeing the advancement of these netbooks.

I fell further in love with my little netbook when on a whim I broke out Quake II and Driver. The joy of long late nights playing Q2 with my boys over a LAN game suddenly rushed over me. It was epic. Amazing to see that such a small machine just cranked out the video

The revolutionary internet device has been released and the better part of the tech world said “meh”. Unfortunately the hype surrounding the iPad made living up to said hype as improbable as Bigfoot actually speaking the queen’s english and inviting everyone over for scones. The reality is that Apple’s last few revolutionary devices were just

After installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Dell 2100 I have once again fallen in love with Ubuntu. I am just blown away at how snappy and responsive it is even with just an Atom N270. The fact that this little netbook operates so well with such little hardware power is a hat tip to

I just came home from seeing what can only be described as an epic master piece of cinema. James Cameron has once again created an amazing world that truly was tangible. Aside from the amazing 3D experience and filming in IMAX the emotions that swirl from the beautiful characters that inhabit Pandora really make the

I love ubiquity. Especially across personal devices. With services like Google and the venerable Microsoft Exchange Server I can quite simply pump unified data up to the cloud and have it rain back down on me in a sea of data that holds my life together. There is however one big drawback. Does everything really

I have always said the following quote and have referenced it to other people but I can’t find it anywhere. SOOO… I am going to put the quote down as my own!! Technology is only technology to those that did not have it as children… I have always related this quote to my maternal grandfather.

I love that Internet and its barriers to access are so easily overcomed in the present. No longer tied to a phone line that locks out any other use. No longer tied to a desk via an ethernet cable. No longer tied to a building as I have a USB dongle that gives me excellent
