[TIPS] Ted Turns Two

Am I the only one who is grounded by the fact that the Ted Talks videos are just now turning Two years old? One slide in Karl Fisch's "Shift happens" video (http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/06/did-you-know-20.html)says that it takes only 4 years to reach on audience of 50 million on the Internet.

Laptop Buying Tips, Part 2, useful for you

A guide to finding the best laptops, and when to buy them.Last week I kicked off a three-part series of articles offering tips for buying a laptop.In the first installment, I compared reader survey results from PC World and Consumer Reports (subscription required) regarding which laptop makers offered the most reliable products, and the best service and support.

The picture you see there shows the same building in four different stages. Want one? Me, too. Of course, the price tag right now is between $3.7 million and $36 million and should be ready in 2010.  I guess I'll wait until after the rush and pick one up on the cheap.

IPhone 3G: What You Need to Know, important for you

Laptop review, Asus Eee PC 900 Mini-Notebook

This $549 mini-notebook is one of the first Windows laptops to offer a multitouch pad.Late last year, Asus broke open the mini-notebook category with the slight, light, and affordable Eee PC 4G. Who wouldn't want a machine that weighs 2 pounds and measures about 8.9 by 6.5 by 1.4 inches (width by depth by height)? At $399, the Linux-based portable became a viable laptop for cost-conscious business travelers and students alike. Since that time, we've seen a refreshed model that offers Windows XP (the Eee PC 4G XP), and now we have the Eee PC 900.So what's the big difference between the models that have come before and this flavor of the month? The Eee PC 900 provides a larger screen without adding much to the overall size of the device--and it sports a multitouch touchpad, too. What kind of...

Brando's versatile universal solar charger

Relying on the sun to juice up your gadgetry is nothing new, but Brando has deviated from its cockamamie ways a bit and actually cranked out a product that is remarkably useful.

Users can rely on sunlight or default to an AC outlet if stuck indoors, and most notably, the switchable voltage function allows you to handle a vast array of devices without damaging any circuitry. Unfortunately, the status quo of sub-$30 or so for a Brando gizmo has been shattered by this one, but if you're...

Working Offline With Google Docs, Part 2 - finish

Google Docs' new offline feature is a welcome addition to the free productivity suite, but the apps lag behind Microsoft software in features.As I mentioned last week, Google Docs recently added a new feature that enables you to edit your Google word processing documents offline.

Rocobo perfects the "annoying robot" concept

Filed under: RobotsThe Roboco is a robot toy that seems to exist for no other purpose than to annoy flesh-based lifeforms, with its whole premise being to "react" to the owner's mood. For example, if you're angry and shout at it, it'll flap its wings and aggravate you even more: if you're nice and stroke it, it'll aggravate you again by "singing," or displaying a smile graphic -- let's just say at least it can't compose lullabies. At ¥1,130 (under $9) it won't exactly break the bank, but if you're just going to throw it out the window within five minutes of buying it, you might as well hold onto your bucks.[Via TechDige...
