Nokia Booklet 3G
There's a lot to like about the Booklet: we were really excited about its beautiful design, high-resolution screen and embedded 3G connectivity -- until we started waiting around for it to load Windows 7 Starter, wondering if it was really worth $599 unsubsidized or $299 on a 2-year AT&T contract. We just can't forgive the slower processor and hard drive when there are significantly cheaper options out there that offer better performance -- and don't look so bad either. Straight up, the $399 Toshiba Mini NB205 is $200 less and performs better with a similarly long battery life, while Verizon offers the HP Mini 311 with a faster processor, NVIDIA Ion and hard drive for $199 on contract.
If you ask us, it all comes back to the MikroMikko and Nokia's recent inexperience in the laptop market. Sure, it's one of the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers (though Michael Gartenberg argues it needs to change drastically to survive as innovators), but when it comes to laptops and netbooks it's important to know the basics and get performance right before attaching a premium price to a product. The Booklet 3G is a great-looking netbook with stellar endurance, but its price and performance simply don't match up.

Έχει φάει την ΑΠΙΣΤΕΥΤΗ διαφήμιση και προώθηση το παραπάνω προϊόν και το θεωρώ απαράδεκτο για πολλούς και διάφορους λόγους, αλλά το παραπάνω review λέει μερικά από αυτά. Ηλίθια απόδοση σε ηλίθιο κόστος με τα ηλίθια Windows 7. Και πάλι λίγα λέω. Σπαρτιάτης έχω αρχίσει να γίνομαι.
PC για παιχνίδια. WTF;
When many people think of gaming, they automatically think of gaming consoles. And, sure, many households have at least one (if not all) of the three major gaming consoles available: the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3, and Nintendo Wii. But for a truly connected and immersive gaming experiences desktop PCs reign supreme. Gaming PCs are more upgradable than laptops, and it's still easier to install expansion packages to PC games than on consoles. The new 120Hz monitors have heralded in a new chapter to 3D gaming, and you simply can't get all the new gaming bells and whistles unless you have a high-powered gaming PC. That said, you don't necessarily have to buy the most expensive desktop to play the most popular games.

Αν είναι δυνατόν. Η πιο ηλίθια προπαγάνδα των τελευταίων ημερών. PC για παιχνίδια; Καλά αυτοί είναι σε άλλο πλανήτη. Δεν ξέρουν τίποτα για τις ελλείψεις τίτλων; Την έλλειψη ποιότητας στους υπάρχοντες Windows τίτλους; Ότι ο κόσμος ΔΕΝ αγοράζει αυτές τις παπαριές Desktop (σταθερών) Windows μηχανημάτων; Κλπ; Όσο για το αν χρειάζεται να ρίξεις λεφτά σε Windows PC για παιχνίδια: Το πιο φθηνό μηχάνημα στη λίστα τους ΞΕΚΙΝΑΕΙ από τα 1300 δολάρια! Η αξία του απίστευτου PS3 ξεκινάει από τα 299 δολάρια και ΠΑΙΖΕΙ και Blu-Ray. Συγκεκριμένα είναι μέσα στα ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΑ Blu-Ray της αγοράς σε ποιότητα και συμβατότητα τίτλων, κλπ. Τα περισσότερα από τα PC που προτείνουν δεν παίζουν καν Blu-Ray! Χμμμμ. Τρομερές ευκαιρίες αυτά τα PC για Windows παιχνίδια. Θα πάρω 5-6.
Acer VS Dell 2ος γύρος
Acer has officially leapfrogged Dell to become the world's second-largest PC builder, iSuppli confirmed in a new study. The Taiwan firm's computer shipments jumped 16.6 percent year-over-year in the summer to nearly 10.74 million PCs, or a 13.4 percent share of the entire market. Meanwhile, Dell actually dropped 5.9 percent to ship 10.34 million PCs, or 12.9 percent of the whole group.
Mainland China's Lenovo was the only other company in the top five to see similar growth and actually jumped by a higher 17.2 percent, but its much lower 6.94 million PCs kept it in fourth place. First-place HP and fifth-place Toshiba were in positive territory but grew much more modestly, climbing by respective 7 percent and 9.7 percent amounts to ship 15.9 million and 4.02 million computers each.
In qualifying the results, analysts credit the company's fast rise in notebooks, where budget full-size portables as well as its mastery of netbooks gave it the edge. Dell, HP and Toshiba have relatively small footprints in netbooks and skew their lines towards slightly higher prices.

Γι άλλη μια φορά, καλά να πάθετε. Μόνο εσείς στην βιομηχανία των Windows θα πηγαίνατε από το κακό στο χειρότερο. Από τα σκατά, στη διάρρεια. Από το λιγότερο κακό, στο κακό. Καλά βρε φτηνιάριδες. Acer; ACER; Acer Netbooks; WTF; Ξεφτίλες είστε. Περαστικά σας.
Όταν η αλφαβητική σειρά έρχεται αντιμέτωπη με την βλακεία. Η βλακεία νικάει!
In response to complaints from browser makers, Microsoft has revised its antitrust-settlement with European Union regulators so that Windows users will see a browser ballot screen that randomly lists the icons of the top five browsers upon every launch. The previous method had them listed in alphabetical order, putting Apple's Safari first. Complaints from Opera, Google, and Mozilla resulted in the change, and also pushed Microsoft into moving the ballot screen from Internet Explorer into a standard webpage format, according to Bloomberg, which cites two unnamed people familiar with the case. The browser ballot screen will let European PC users download a third-party browser without having to use Internet Explorer.
The modifications should allow the EU to complete the agreement as soon as December 15. Assuming this date holds, the very long antitrust trial will soon finally come to a close.
In December 2007, Opera filed a complaint with the European Union, accusing Microsoft of violating EU antitrust law by bundling IE with Windows. The investigation continued until July 2009, when Microsoft decided it wasn't interested in more fines, legal bills, and/or a delay of Windows 7. Thus, the company offered to adopt the European Union's preferred solution for browser competition: a browser selector screen at startup.

Μπορεί να έχουν και δίκιο. Μπορεί όντως η αλφαβητική σειρά να τους θάβει. Όλους. Αλλά εγώ πάλι ρωτάω. Που είναι όλοι οι άλλοι πλοηγοί (browsers) από τη λίστα; Υπάρχουν δεκάδες πλοηγοί που δεν εμφανίζονται στη λίστα αλλά εμάς μας πείραξε η αλφαβητική σειρά. Έτσι; Μπεεεε.
Τα σπάει η Apple γι άλλη μια φορά!
Apple products have topped the list of the most popular computers sold in U.S retail in October, an analyst for market research firm NPD Group told CNET on Friday.
The recently introduced 21-inch iMac was the top-selling desktop for the month, Stephen Baker, NPD's vice president of industry analysis, said in an interview. Apple's high-end iMac 27-inch model took the No. 3 spot in the desktop category, he said.
"Apple gets a bounce whenever they come out with new computers," Baker said. "For the most part, October was a down month on the Windows side because [PC manufacturers] were working through inventory before the Windows 7 launch."
The company also took the top spot in the notebook category in October, with the $1,199 MacBook Pro, Baker said. Overall, Apple took 4 out of the top 10 positions for notebooks in U.S. retail for the month, according to Baker. In addition to the top-seeded MacBook Pro, Apple also secured the 8, 9, and 10 positions.

Αναφέρει το άρθρο ότι ίσως τελικά λέει να μην ευθύνεται η άνοδος της Apple τα τελευταία χρόνια στο iPod και το iPhone αλλά γενικά σε όλες τις επιλογές και κινήσεις της Apple απέναντι στους πελάτες της. Τι λες; Καλώς ήρθατε στο παρελθόν μου γι άλλη μια φορά. Ζώα "επαγγελματίες" και καλά της βιομηχανίας των ηλεκτρονικών υπολογιστών και γενικά της τεχνολογίας. Χρόνια τώρα με το ένα πόδι υποστηρίζετε την Apple και με το άλλο πόδι τη θάβετε. Οπότε ότι και να γίνει, να βγείτε και από πάνω. ΟΥΣΤ!
Google και Ειδήσεις; 1-0;
The art of verbal self-defense can be tricky. Ramble on while defending yourself against critics, and you can expose yourself to new criticisms. For a recent and clear case study in this misstep, look no further than Google’s own Eric Schmidt. In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece titled “How Google Can Help Newspapers,” Schmidt set out to argue what has been said a million times before, and what everyone but news executives in denial will admit: The Internet isn’t killing news, it’s forcing it through a painful evolution into a new business model.
The op-ed came a few days after Rupert Murdoch made a gutsy bluff to block Google from indexing stories on News Corp.’s sites. Murdoch is no dummy, and all his huffing and posturing is aimed less at preserving a dead business model than at testing his leverage in a new one –- the way a mischievous kid tests a new babysitter to see what he can get away with. And it was cunning of Schmidt to push Murdoch back on his own playground. But in the course of stating the obvious –- Google isn’t killing newspapers –- Schmidt made a few spurious arguments of his own.
He begins with a fantasy of reading a “news gadget” that “knows who I am, what I like, and what I have already read.” We all have our fantasies, but this one strikes me as a bit dystopian and suggests a fundamental ignorance of what news actually is. Much of the news I read these days I don’t like. But I need to read it, and print newspapers are very good at putting it in front of my eyes.

Καλά ε; Και αυτοί είναι σε άλλο πλανήτη. Κατηγορούν την Google για το πως σκέφτεται να μας παρέχει τα νέα. Δε λέω, έχουν κάποιο δίκιο. Αλλά πραγματικά υπάρχει κάποιος λογικός άνθρωπος εκεί έξω που πιστεύει ότι μαθαίνουμε την αλήθεια από τα ΜΜΕ (Μέσα Μαζικής Εξημέρωσης που ΠΟΛΥ ΣΩΣΤΑ λέει ο Τζιμάκος στο site του);. Αν το πιστεύετε αυτό έχω να σας πουλήσω κάτι οικόπεδα σε τιμή ευκαιρίας στον Γαλαξία της Ανδρομέδας. Μπεεεε.
