So rather than spend the money researching on ways to improve the health of the world’s poor population, our geniuses at MIT spent the time working on a laptop. Then again having a laptop is definitely better than having all your limbs, right?
I don’t quite understand how develop $100 laptop will improve the daily life of the target audience - impoverished kids. I think the idea is heartfelt but re [...]
Nowadays, most consumers who buy new TVs are realizing it makes more sense to buy an HDTV rather than a SDTV (standard definition). Given the continuing drop of HDTV prices, it seems more and more likely that in the next one to two years, we could see the inevitable death of SDTV.
Most HDTVs support two resolutions that are considered to be "high-definition", 720p and 1080i. Recently announced HDTVs are star [...]

Most A [...]
I've been using Bluetooth headsets for about 3 years now and I love them. I'm probably one of those people who walk down the street seemingly talking to myself until you notice the small piece of plastic and electronics hanging from my ear.

Recently, Motorola released the H700 Bluetooth hea [...]
My first blog – ever
Jan 22

Back a few years ago, I was intent on creating a fantastic website using static HTML - boy is that outdated now.
