If you depend on moving a lot of data around and are looking for ways to move it faster then the Thunderbolt technology (formerly Light Peak) is something that should be of interest to you. Companies and individuals who work in the area of video editing and transfer will be one of the first groups that will take advantage of
Dean Heckler of HeckerDesign creates modern space saving home-office furniture out of his studio in Phoenix, AZ. Aimed at those of us who would love a bijoux pad out of Wallpaper* magazine but don't either have the space or the money, it's powder-coated steel made to match the latest tech gear. His OneLessDesk is already a classic. It's also made
For some time now, when it came to desktop and laptop computer hardware, innovation has seemed to be somewhat stagnate. After all, what more can be done with word processing software? How can spreadsheets possibly be improved? How can the browsing experience be made better? Can email be made more effective or efficient? Form impacts function, but function often defines
Bit of Soap Box time tonight folks. Plus as chance to win a Apple TV be sure to listen to win. Entry email you will need is podcast@podcastconnect.com I share a little insight into some announcements we made today.

Today I took the CR48 out in the field. I went to my local coffee shop (not Starbucks) and got on the WiFi. It was no problem getting though their login redirect. Although the WiFi was really slow, I was able to do my normal web surfing and email. I wouldn’t want to try a youtube video on it at
In recent weeks it has become very evident that Anonymous is a group that anyone running publicly accessible servers should avoid pissing off. While Anonymous publicly embarrasses those companies and sites they go after, the Chinese on the other hand are much more sinister. As reported this morning on Bloomberg the business of industrial espionage is alive and well. It
My husband went to our local library the Cabell County Public Library last week and picked up a library card. If you haven't been to a library in a long time you maybe surprise how much they have embraced new technology. One of the areas that most libraries have embraced is ebooks and audiobooks. They use a system called Overdrive to
About a month ago I received a Netgear NeoTV 550 for review. I am an avid Media Center PC user, which meant I was immediately skeptical of any replacement for my beloved HTPC. Initially I found my skepticism warranted, but over the past month that changed. It changed for two reasons - one was my own network setup problem and
I learned today that making usable audio on Chrome OS is impossible. I tried several times to make a short voice recording and each time it came out really noisy. The built in Mic is not of high quality on the CR48. So my next try was to record with my Sony IC Recorder. The recording turned out great, but
As I am now on the prowl for a new job since I am being laid off from my current one, I'm thinking about all the things that could go wrong. My credit might not be good enough, and is that speeding ticket I got a couple years ago going to be a problem? And what about my online presence
HP today revamped its line of business notebooks with improvements to the EliteBook p-series, the ProBook b-series and ProBook s-series. Frankly, the ProBook changes are unexciting - usual upgrades in Intel Core processors, screens and battery life, matching price to performance. Just what you'd expect. However, the EliteBook p-series is something different altogether. HP have created precision-engineered notebooks (8460p and
On day 2 I have learned a couple more things about Chrome OS. First, I learned how to save a photo (or any other file) to a "mystery" downloads folder on the CR48. So that is why you are seeing the chrome OS logo in this post. I'm not sure where the storage is on this machine or how much
