Tablet PC’s kind of flared and then fizzled out in the late 90’s, but like any great idea, they didn’t disappear. They have been widely used in the medial, construction and transportation industries where their small size and pen input displays make them the perfect tool for the job.
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome. The four most popular browsers on the market. But what’s the difference? Why is one better than the others? Why pick one over the other? Milk or Areo? Read on to find out the answer to most of these burning questions.
Three of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of a computer are the screen, keyboard and mouse. This is especially true in offices where people are interacting with their computers for hours on end.
Take the mouse for example. It should be responsive, contoured for comfort and customizable. After all, you use your mouse for just about everything you do these days. Enter the Logitech G9 Laser Mouse.
Many of you may have heard about Microsoft’s new operating system due out October 22 called Windows 7. While there has been a lot of Hype (and I mean a lot!!) not many people in the main stream media have actually used it. Here is a quick overview from someone who has been using Windows 7 exclusively for a few months now.
A UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is an incredibly simple but important device that no computer should be without. It’s a battery that plugs into the wall. You then plug devices into the battery and use that to power them.
As computers come down in price, and become more common in the household, we are finding new and useful roles. One of the new and popular rolls is the “kitchen computer”. With the new Eee PC’s, kitchen computers are becoming more popular and cheaper. However one of the problems in the past has been the keyboard and mouse.
Kitchen computers can be used for many things. You can use it to display streaming news, Internet radio or (the most popular) use it to access the world largest cook book, the Internet. The problem that arises with cooking and clicking is that the mouse can become dirty. Traditional mice can be wiped down with a cloth, but their seams collect dirt and their hard to keep clean. Unlike traditional mice, the Belkin mouse is washable and that makes it the perfect mouse for the job.
I have been looking forward to getting my hand on one of these for months. Finally last week I was able to pick one up and take it for a spin and I was not dissapointed.
First of all, let me explain what the Asus Eee Box is. It’s a bare bones, mid powered desktop computer that is about the size of an average novel. It’s a new breed of computer that is the desktop equilivent of the Netbook and Asus is leading the pack in every catagory.
Many have spoken of how the world of computers keeps changing, what is not spoken about as much is how the computer itself is changing. The life of the computer seems to be following the life of the T.V. First there was only one per block. Everyone would crowd around and watch someone save something to a 3 1/2 floppy drive, or if you have a really good memory, you might remember the old 5 1/4 floppies. Then they became more affordable. More people bought them and started surfing the net. They paid by the hour at blazing speeds of 14.4k or even 56k if they were lucky.
Netbooks are a relatively new phenomenon with the first one being released in late 2007. Since then we have seen literally hundreds of models hit the market with over 10 million units sold.
While the first Netbook was only release a little over a year ago, the market has boomed with over 10 million units sold.
The first Netbook was released by Asus and most people will agree, they are still leading the pack. Featured here today is one of their higher end Netbooks. Incidentally, if you are not familiar with the difference between a Netbook and a Notebook, please feel free to read “To Netbook or not to Netbook” in our Articles section.
