Google Earth Reveals the Devastation in HaitiGoogle responded to the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti earlier this week by working with satellite imagery company GeoEye to quickly make images of the destruction available in Google Earth and Google Maps. The images were taken at approximately 10:27 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, and could prove to be a helpful tool for aid organizations attempting to survey and assess the damage to Haiti's infrastructure. (Click on any of the images in the story to see a larger version; all show satellite images of areas in Haiti before and after the earthquake hit.)

Permalink | Comment | Email this Google Begins Replying to More Nexus One ComplaintsGoogle appears to be trying to boost its customer support for Nexus One customers, posting replies to many more queries on its online forum. Google has come under fire since the launch of the Nexus One after hundreds of messages were posted with complaints or questions about the phone. Many customers said that after calling T-Mobile they were referred to HTC, the phone's maker, or the reverse. Google does not have a customer-service phone line, and customers sending e-mails were being told to wait one or two days for a reply.

Shipments totaled 85.8 million units during the fourth quarter of 2009, growing 15.2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. The unexpected growth signals a possible end to the struggles the PC industry has gone through during the recession, IDC said in a statement.

Famous Tech VaporwareEach year, the nation's largest geekfest, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), is full of hype, overhype, and beyond the valley of the hype. Remember the Internet Refrigerator? And each year the hype (and overhype, and b.t.v.o.t. hype) inevitably leads to disappointment: Vendors dangle many alluring prototypes and product rumors in front of the assembled tech journalists and geeks during the week in Las Vegas, but many of the products never appear or arrive far later than scheduled and in a competely different format. Evidently, much of what is dangled in Vegas stays in Vegas. Read more.... Wow, Did That Go on Sale?

Unveiled in late October, the Barnes & Noble Nook has seen several delays and is already out of stock across the country. The $259 e-book reader is the main competitor to Amazon's Kindle device, and it has received mixed reviews due to several software slowdowns. Read more....

"They MAKE me do it every 30 days at work! I'm not doing it at home too." I think everyone is aware that changing your Windows password regularly is important to maintain a certain level of security for your computer.

HP's Luxury Ultraportable Laptop Image Courtesy HP, Inc. At first glance, the HP Envy 13 looks very similar to the Apple MacBook Pro 13. While the outward appearance may be close between the two, there are some distinct differences both internally and with the price tags. This is certainly not HP's more mainstream laptop and is targeted towards a luxury market. Does HP managed to succeed at producing a high quality and high performing ultraportable laptop? Find out in my review of the HP Envy 13 laptop.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Gateway's All-day 11.6-inch Ultraportable Image Courtesy Gateway Netbooks are extremely popular for their compact size and long running times. The big problem with them though is their lack of performance making them more suitable as secondary computers to supplement a more powerful laptop or desktop. Gateway has built their EC series of laptops as a compact alternative that provides a more powerful computing experience with similar long running times. Can it really achieve these goals while keeping the price affordable? Find out in my review of the Gateway EC1815u ultraportable.

It was packed with high performance features and state of the art technology. It also came with a very high price tag that rivaled the MacBook Air. Eventually, Dell came to their senses and decided to design a new revision of the Adamo that would offer a similar level of portability but at a much more affordable price tag. Does this lower cost Adamo laptop still provide a high quality ultrathin laptop or did they cut the quality too much? Find out in my review of the Dell Adamo Admire Onyx ultraportable laptop.

ASUS released the UL30A-X1 last year as their first Intel consumer ultra-low voltage laptops. The system had a very long running time with a reasonable $700 price tag. They have since upgraded their long lasting ultrapotable system to use a dual-core processor instead of the single core model. This typically results in a shorter overall running time but does it have a big impact? Find out in my review of the ASUS UL30A-A2 ultraportable laptop.

Blu-ray is finally becoming popular among home theater owners thanks to the decreasing costs of players and movies. Now it is possible to get a reasonably priced laptop system that features a Blu-ray compatible drive. NewEgg is offering the MSI CR620-033us laptop for just $700. It features a new Intel Core i3 330M dual core processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, 320GB hard drive, Blu-ray combo drive, 15.6-inch LCD display, 802.11b/g/n wireless and Windows 7 operating system. The downside is that this laptop does not feature a dedicated graphics processor and the display is limited to playing back 720p content unless you use an external HDMI display or HDTV.

Microsoft Adds LifeCams With "TrueColor Technology"
Microsoft announced three new webcams in its LifeCam line this week. All of the new cameras have what Microsoft has termed "TrueColor Technology." This is supposed to help with dimly lit conditions, which can obviously hamper a good webcam experience. (And, as HP can tell you, can be a true PR nightmare in some cases.) The new models are the HD-5000, HD-5001 and HD-6000. The first two have the same specs (720p HD widescreen, auto focus, $49.95 price tag) but different designs, while the third has those specs and adds 360-degree rotation view. It carries a $59.95 price tag. The 5000 and 5001 are supposed to be available this month, and the 6000 is scheduled for May.

Permalink | Comment | Email this WD Debuts My Passport AV Drives For Use With Sony HandycamsWestern Digital unveiled its May Passport AV portable media drives, which it says are designed specifically for video storage and playback. The drives are meant to operate "seamlessly" with the Direct Copy feature on Sony's Handycams. Basically, you can skip the step of downloading the content to your computer first and put it directly from the camcorder to the drive. This is a pretty cool, especially if you tend to record a lot of videos when you're traveling - now you can just bring your camcorder and the drive. As an added bonus, you can simply plug the drive into your TV, Xbox 360 or Blu-ray player to watch the content your just recorded. The only caveat (and a pretty big one) is that the TV or player must be compatible. You can find a list of compatible devices here. I must admit I am puzzled that the drive is offered in a 320GB capacity -- video files are notorious data guzzlers, and I would think that a "video specific" drive would come in at least a 500GB version, if not a 1TB. Price is $109. WD Debuts My Passport AV Drives For Use With Sony Handycams originally appeared on About.com Computer Peripherals on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 17:30:14.
