@phipsi180: Probably doing IE a favor but not devestating it in the tests. I'd still like to see it compared to IE in boot times though.

Shop mostly in store like mostp eople mentioned. I like to know what I'm getting, and have the ability to choose which items I want (I'd rather take a box that isn't crumpled please, so the one in the far back of all the items is what I want). If I do go for online shopping its for good bargains and things that are…

I think this is one advantage Apple and Palm have over the competition, the update process. Because of all these different hardware manufacturers, I can imagine it's pretty hard to keep the support for the diverse hardware being used for Android phones. Whereas Palm and Apple have closed hardware, it's relatively easy…

This is pretty cool you can do it, but I see it as more as just a proof of concept and not something that's actually practical. How much water and electricity is loss cooking this thing? I think just boiling water and tossing it in that is much more efficient. Maybe if you cook a ton of food maybe, but yeah. I assume…

I made the switch from Google to Bing for searches not so much for the information they were getting, just that I think they had too much dominating power in our information because of that. Honestly, Google is Google for what they offer. I would love to use Hotmail instead of Gmail, but there is no IMAP support (I…

I'm really liking the LEDs, but more the floating display. Makes me think about having a desktop setup later on with nice floating display like that, but maybe a bit bigger. Really nice.

Wow I never thought about using a custom web page, that must load the fastest since it's saved locally, that's definately got my vote. However as of right now, I do not know any HTML really so that's out of my league, so I'm using [Bing.com] right now. It's nice to see the Bing images when I open my browser and still…

Wish internet TV was better so WMC would be a lot more useful for me. With my short exploration of it, I found it only useful for those who have a TV tuner and are able to record their tv shows on it to watch later (or those who enjoy what's on Hulu and/or have a Netflix account, neither which I like/have). For…

I think this shows Google's overall attitude towards privacy of it's costumers. Google really can do better about this.

I'd have to say that's pretty cool. Would be awesome if someone like Starbucks got a hold of these and did something like what McDonalds is doing with their casual games. I think it would be a huge hit with Starbucks or someone of the like.

I agree totaly with this post (a me-too comment, lool).

I use doPDF, and it works wonders. The only difference I can see the appending of PDF documents which might be useful. Problem I have with these sorts of things is, even though this one is going to be free, what about later updates? They obviously won't be free, and thus you've just been hooked onto "shareware" in a…

GF's laptop died recently, and was looking at netbooks as a replacement for her since that's about all she does with it. It's a pain to see taht Windows 7 isn't the defacto for the OS choices, and XP SP 3 is still being offered, causing Win7 to be a 30$ premium, even for the starter edition (who the heck at Microsoft…

Been in one for the last 7 years or so... haven't sketched a decent thing. Think it's the stress of school and getting done with it. Meaning, try not to be so stressed, and creative juices should flow much better.

Open Office, a viable office solution. It really can get the job done. However with Microsoft's main cash cow being Office, and them actually making a product that works well relatively well, it's hard to beat. Honestly, the ribbon interface could use a bit more tweaking (make it tinier or something), but it did…

I'm hoping manufacturers don't forget what makes a tablet, a tablet, and it's stylus input. These are tablets, not giant touch pads.

In class, I take notes via my laptop, or a notebook, depends on how heavily dependent it is on diagrams or not. Even tablets are cumbesome for diagram heavy lectures beacuse the screens wobble as you write on them, and it's a hassle to switch modes from slate to laptop. Howver, I find hand written notes helps set the…

@psychiccheese: I just said that as an example. I would never ever use the same password, or username for those types of things. As you mentioned, high importance stuff should have independent passwords, heck they should have independent usernames as well the higher you go on the priority perhaps. Just depends on how…

@Kotakufan777: The problem I have with a password manager is everything is stored right there in one place, if its lost you just lost every single password. Not a big deal, but if someone gets it, and manages to get into it, then you just lost every account you know of. It's like keeping all your treasure in one…

It's true most consumers don't really know how to take photos, heck they don't know how to use 97% of their cameras, and the frame of the shot is horrible. I'm not a pro or an advance photographer, but I think I can tell when there's just way too much space in the shot around the subject, or if it was framed with some…
