Network world has a report of something claiming to be the “world’s cheapest laptop“. However just because this thing can be had for as little as $130 doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a good idea.
It’s [...]
Picture this: Joe Sixpack needs to check in on his fave blogs and online news but he hasn’t got the time to wait for Windows to boot. He flips on his computer, five seconds later he’s got a browser running and is getting up to date while the guy next to him is still looking at the Windows logo, waiting for his machine to boot.

… and that review isn’t exactly nice. After reading it and looking over the specs on the thing, I can see why. This thing is barely enough to do basic browsing and not much more. The reviewer stated that it’s able to run Ubuntu linux… it’s not [...]

This is just too funny for words. I just saw a bit on slashdot about how Micro$oft is now dissing it’s own stuff. Specifically, they’re making a big point now of talking XP down and Vista up. This PC World story talks about Micro$oft commissioning a study concerning [...]

Well, Micro$oft has pulled a big one this time and I’m sure that lots of people have already heard about it but I’ll throw in my two cents anyway. Seems that their recent update put in an indexing program.. I gather it’s kinda a windoze equivalent of a Google desktop [...]

Just these two things by themselves should have Dell doing enough better that they shouldn’t need [...]

I just saw an AP news story on iwon.com that talked about Dell’s recent decision to once again give people the option of getting XP instead of Vista. The article said that they did this because on Dell’s Ideastorm site, the “Don’t eliminate XP just yet” idea racked up over [...]

I just noticed (ok, this is a tad old, but still worth mentioning) that after 22 months of development since ‘Sarge’ was released as Debian GNU/Linus 3.0, Debian has finally declared ‘Etch’ stable and released it as Debian GNU/Linux 4.0.
Trivia question: what do the codenames of Debian GNU/Linux have in [...]

In a move that’s going to leave a LOT of customers (not to mention might-have-been customers!) cold on HP it seems that their warranty will not be honored if you choose to run linux.
Why this is so is a question I haven’t seen answered. I can’t help thinking that when [...]
