I snapped this in the London Underground a few days ago. What’s wrong in this picture?

Google’s products are good but as an avid user there are a few things that I’d like to suggest to make them even better. Read Post ›
Late last night as I was uploading and fixing with a new site I’m working on, the server suddenly started to load extremely slow and after a short while didn’t load any pages at all. I was editing some configuration scripts and for a moment I thought I had brought it down myself by some unfortunate setting. I tested if a couple of other sites I have on that server could load but none of them did.
I have talked a bit about netbooks and I will in posts to come so I thought it could be a good idea to explain what a netbook is in case it’s unclear to anyone and to be sure we’re talking about the same thing.
Today I tested a Packard Bell Easy Note BG45-U-300. After the smaller models in the Panasonic Toughbook series this is the only other laptop I know of that has a touchpad in the shape of a circle.
What are they thinking???!!!
The wait for Dell Latitude E4200 is over. I’ve been reloading this page a couple of times per day lately to see if the price has comes up, and now it has. The prices start at £899 ex VAT and shipping for the simplest configuration, that is £1,113.90 with VAT paid and delivery.
I’m working on a new theme for this blog and I decided to start using it from now. Even if I’m not completely happy with it yet I think it’s good enough to start using and it’s many times better than the old one. It has widget support for example, which the old one did not.
I am very curious to what the price will be. ChrunchGear has heard $1300 which in that case probably means £1300 in the UK. Pretty expensive. The spec though, is exactly what I am looking for in a laptop if I was to buy one today.
- 12.1″ Widescreen WXGA 1280×800, same resolution as I have on my Sony Vaio. I think this is a good resolution for this size(my Vaio is 13.3″)
- Intel Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage(ULV) Processor.
- 1 GB Dual Channel DD3 Memory, 800MHz, more can of course be added.
- UltraPerfomrance Solid State Drive up to 64GB or Solid State Drive up to 128 GB
- Loads of connectivity options (I don’t mean optional)
- Weight 2.2 lbs/1.0 kg. Perfect!
- Battery life up to 19 hours
Today Google released their brand new Open Source browser called Chrome. I have downloaded it and used it for about an hour now and my first impression is great.
The install was smooth with few clicks and it imported my settings - browsing history and bookmarks from Firefox.
It’s sleek, quick and with useful features that are not immediately obvious but noticable as you start using it. It’s easy to use and feels intuitive.
When I was in a UK Vodafone shop querying about their mobile broadband and said I would use it for Linux, the shop assistant said that it might work but it would in that case require some effort. Vodafone officially support Windows and Mac OS but I knew that the Huawei E169 works with Linux so I couldn’t think of a reason why the Huawei E170 or Huawei E172 from Vodafone wouldn’t.
I got myself the package and the thing is, it works brilliantly and is really easy to set up!
