Seriously? A 8″ screen? Or at best, 10 inches? Netbooks are being promoted as if they’re the best thing since sliced bread? What the heck is going on? Didn’t we just spend the last decade wishing laptops had larger screens? My lastest model is a high-res 17″ laptop equivalent to a 24″ monitor. And that’s [...]

Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, has yet to monetize its popularity. There are rumors of upcoming business options – which makes sense considering Dell Computers claims twittering earned them an extra $1M in 2008. However, there’s only VC funds keeping Twitter going, and a relatively new entry in the micro-blogging arena, Identi.ca, just received funding [...]

Just had a look at Google Trends this morning and for the first time, it seems all of the search trends are of purely local interest: school closures.
Of the top 100 search trends this morning, it seems like 90+% specifies either a school name or a local TV station’s call letters. Isn’t anyone looking for [...]

Is this something you’d want in your web worker’s toolbox? A netbook (small, lightweight, Internet-connected notebook computer similar to the Acer Aspire One pictured at right) that is ALWAYS on? Even when you shut it off? It would still be checking for your email, pulling it all down to your hard or solid state drive? [...]
