ARM is greater than Intel for power consumption vs performance. ARM processors will win the tablet/laptop war in the long run. There, I said it. Unless they make some serious pitfalls, ARM should have a serious stranglehold on the future of tablet PC’s and other mobile devices.
Today, the logo on Google’s homepage changed to their first interactive doodle - a playable game of Pacman, and you don’t even need flash to play it. Yet another nail in the flash coffin? Hit Insert Coin again and you can play as Mrs. Pacman with the WASD keys while player 1 uses the arrow keys!
The idea that you can take a picture in an emergency situation and have it instantly uploaded is handy. If you were attacked by a mugger or witness some type of assault or accident, the pictures are instantly backed up online. But what about privacy issues? Putting your media online creates the potential for problems that are outside of your control.
So it’s delayed, it’s not that big of a deal. Features found in the Nexus phone that are missing will be a nice addition, but the big news is flash support is coming. But flash is client side, so I wonder how well that will work on the droid hardware? Even if it renders just fine, is flash the right direction?
Give me a real netbook any day of the week. Touch screen is nice, but I just can’t get on the Apple band wagon. I’ve tried, believe me I’ve tried. The sad part is, we’re conditioned to Apple’s dictatorship. There’s no expectation of an Apple device to allow you to do what you want with it. We’ve never known freedom with any apple device, so why should we expect it now?
I use the little green laptop on recreational travel because the wifi signal strength is much better than your average laptop and it’s been less likely to get stolen since most people look at it and think it’s a toy. Hopefully they’ll release the next version of the laptop soon so i’ll have one to play with again! So long XO.
The Craigavon Task Forc, established shortly after an iBurst tower was built just north of Johannesburg in Fourways Memorial Park on 12 August 2009, has battled with iBurst to get the tower relocated elsewhere due to concerns over radiation from the tower causing a long list of health problems. Little did residents know, the tower was shut off more than six weeks ago.
The Nexus One was released today! Built by HTC, the unlocked version is $530 (the phone works with “nearly all” GSM SIM cards, according to Google) or you can pay $180 for the typical two-year contract with T-Mobile. if you already have tmob service, but don’t have a data plan, it will cost $280 for the phone. Google says there will be other carriers and plans coming sometime in the future. I think the arrival of the Google phone pretty much spells the end for the Droid.
The Uruguay programme has cost the state $260 (£159) per child, including internet connections, equipment repairs, maintenance costs, and training for the teachers, but the extent to which they use the laptops in the classroom is up to them. Meanwhile, pilot programs in Ethiopia with the OLPC XO laptop are stalling. Teachers resent the device and consider it a toy.
Smarter tabs, Opera turbo, widgets, cache control, dragonfly, speed dial, and all the little things like middle mouse clicks to open tabs.
