1984

1984

By Zoli Erdos on August 28, 2009

Keeping Americans safe in an increasingly digital world depends on our ability to lawfully screen materials entering the United States. – says Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano justifying why the Obama administration largely upheld the Bush-era regulations about intrusive border searches of travelers’ laptops, cellphones and other electronic devices. I’ve heard that reasoning before. No, […]

CrunchPad, Netbooks and Vacuum Cleaners

CrunchPad, Netbooks and Vacuum Cleaners

By Zoli Erdos on July 31, 2009

We covered the CrunchPad a fair bit here, so it’s only natural to report it’s inching closer to Launch.   Or is it rather slipping?  The Straits Times visited Fusion Garage, the Singapore-based company that’s developing the CrunchPad, and published details.  It’s now expected to hit the market in November, just in time for Christmas shopping.

Intel Relaxes Rules on NetBook Resolution.  Next Obstacle is Screen Size

Intel Relaxes Rules on NetBook Resolution. Next Obstacle is Screen Size

By Zoli Erdos on July 13, 2009

I often spoke up against idiotic screen size / resolution limits that render Netbooks close to useless, yet the de facto industry standard appears to be 1024 x 600. What’s wrong with that?  Well, nothing, unless you plan to browse, or in fact interact with web sites, since websites today are designed at a resolution […]

… is a screen appropriate for working on the Net (which is what Netbooks are supposedly for). Most websites today are designed at a resolution of 1024×768, and guess what: there’s not one single (good) Netbook on the market today that that can display that.   All of the current crop, including the new 10.1” Acer […]

Should You Redesign Your Website to 800×600 – Or Wait For Netbook Makers to Wake Up and Give Us Decent Screens?

By Zoli Erdos on November 17, 2008

Oh, size issues again… Size Matters – said yours truly back in April, before returning the very first eee PC after only a day: I could get used to the screen size, my fingers would learn to deal with the keyboard, but it’s impossible to browse the Net with this thing.  The problem is that […]

Netbook or Notebook? It’s Not Only About Size.

Netbook or Notebook? It’s Not Only About Size.

By Zoli Erdos on October 31, 2008

Hardly a day goes by without another new Netbook announcement, at lower and lower prices.  The first baby eee PC by ASUS was toy-like ( I returned it after a day), but the current crop are quite usable mobile computing devices.  These new Netbooks are flying off the shelf, so much so that sometimes you […]

For the second day TechMeme is overflowing with Microsoft news coming out of PDC: Azure, Windows 7, Web Office (whatever the MS name will be).   But on the very day that supposedly all belonged to Microsoft there was a stream of seemingly unrelated items on TechMeme all pointing in the same direction, none too good […]

The One Thing the ASUS CEO did Not Get Right | $279 Acer Aspire One?

By Zoli Erdos on October 21, 2008

Image by geognerd via Flickr Asus created the Netbook craze with the first eee Pc (the one I owned for a day) released last year, and it has become a huge market – in fact the most dynamic segment in PC sales.  Laptop Magazine published an interview with ASUS CEO Jerry Shen.  Key factoids: Four […]
