MacBook
A new 17-inch MacBook was announced today at MacWorld. It's thin, lightweight (for a 17-inch notebook), but has one serious flaw: A non-removable battery.

Apple has $25 billion in cash in the bank. Dell's market cap is $22 billion. Apple could buy Dell outright without borrowing a dime.
There a million and one "shortcuts," but learning them all takes forever. These headache savers are those I use almost every time I touch a computer.
Be aware, it takes even more energy and resources, pound for pound, to produce a Dell than a Dodge. A computer's energy usage has just begun once it leaves the factory, though.
If you haven't heard of World of Warcraft, you must be someone who actually leaves your house. For a newbie like me, it was quite an experience.
The information technology industry has a long way to go towards becoming more sustainable. For a start, there is still no widely understood standard for greener PCs.
I Object! Or is that Subject? This was my first reaction to the common linguistic objectification of sentient beings which has become pervasive in America.
TED follows Nicholas Negroponte to Colombia as he delivers laptops inside territory once controlled by guerrillas. His partner? Colombia's Defense Department.
The idea behind it is that the government can use existing spectrum to reach areas under-served by current internet carriers: rural America and underprivileged communities.
There were three words missing from Bill Gates' goodbye speech when he officially left Microsoft in July of this year. They are three words he probab...
The computer makers are betting that there is a need for inexpensive laptops with limited features, dubbed netbooks, ultra-low-cost notebooks or more cleverly liliputers.
Arguably the simplest, most important and least-used application for computers is backing up.
Maybe we'll wind up counting illegal immigrants as the framers of the Constitution may have intended: as three-fifths of a person.
On Monday, I spoke at the Social Entrepreneurship Summit held at the MaRS Centre in Toronto. Although, as the name suggests, people came to learn abou...
At this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, the 205-mile per hour, $100,000, 2009 Corvette ZR1 is relegated to the very rear of the Chevrolet exhibit, like the "adults only" section in video stores.

Until Dell manufactures its products in the USA I will never buy another one.
Dell is disgusting. No matter how the badly the broken economy damages our country they keep racing to the bottom. They will "save" a few bucks on production hopefully to pass it on to well-off shareholders - including their management insiders. No country should ever believe any promises made by American businesses seeking to "invest" in their country. As soon as Egypt opens up, Dell will dump Poland too. Sorry to see the Irish learning the hard way about the greed and selfishness that still is American-style capitalism. Way to go, Dell! Always representing America well. Poland, beware.
We should force all companies with operations based primarily outside the United Stated to leave our country altogether or pay a surcharge for the privilege of being an American Corporation. Why should we donate our State Department and Military services to Corporations with Chinese manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in a PO Box Off-Shore. Despite their crys of a high corporate tax, these corporations pay very little , if any, net taxes. The Corporations that are US in name only or proclaim to be international should have to pay for the benefits derived from American Might and Influence or their CEOs should live in China, Poland or their PO Boxes. We do not need the leeches destroying our country.
I recall many a proponent of trickle down economics lamenting our corporate tax rate as one of the highest and making it difficult to compete with countries such as Ireland which has one of the lowest business tax rate.
Where'd they all go?
Could it be pesky middle class wages which needs to be eliminated? Get rid of the middle and 3% more profit for the top! The world only needs two classes: upper and lower, the haves and the have-nots, the rich and the poor, right?
no shock
O'Sh**.
