There is very nearly some very good news for the music industry in the UK. The Digital Music Surrvey 2008 recently released a press release that suggests that a large number of us people here… Bad News for the UK, Music is Winning the Digital War!?
The internet is an item that many people take for granted. Especially me! I rely on the internet so much that I even make a living off of it. This means that I also rely… One Laptop per Child – Blog Action Day 2008
Some of you may have noticed some technical muck ups today, and for that I appologise. These technical muck ups were due to my intergrating our new EmotIcons system on the site. we now support… The New and Improved EmotIcons
This is our first review. All kinds of comments, opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated and mostly welcomed.
We managed to get our hands on two of the currently three available netbooks with the new Intel Atom processor, MSI Wind U100 and Acer Aspire One. We decided to compare the predecessor of them all, the Asus EEE PC 701 which came out in December 2007. Being an older and more of an experimental model, it is obvious that it is slightly out of the league, but we simply wanted you to see the difference and understand what is so revolutionary about these new models coming up.
On first look it is quite noticeable that the MSI Wind U100 is the biggest of them all, but the compromise on that is it carries a 10″ display, a nice large keyboard and they even managed to put some big air vents to carry away the excess heat. Even though the Intel Atom Processor heats much less than the Intel Celeron of the Asus EEE PC 701, MSI decided to implement their own hardcore tool even to this little guy, the Turbo Drive Engine Technology which overclocks the Intel Atom N270 from 1.6GHz to 1.9GHz (UPDATE: The Turbo Feature is no more, read on to find out more) .
The Acer Aspire One has a 8.9″ display, but that extra 1.1″ doesn’t really make a difference because it has the same resolution as the MSI 1024×600 and have in mind that mobility is the key factor we are after, so with smaller size it fits better on a train or plane table for example. Again we have large keys, with better layout than the MSI, and Acer have built-in two card readers, so you can put one 16GB SD flash card for example which will make your total space 120GB+16GB=136GB if you really need more space, and use the other card reader to transfer your pictures or any data from your camera, but I still find the lack of Bluetooth a little imprudent.Acer Aspire One vs MSI Wind U100 vs Asus Eee PC
Last night Microsoft launched their new, “I’m a PC“, advert which is more a comeback from the Apple “Mac vs PC” adverts. It really dirves the point home compared to the recent “Seinfeld and Gates”… Life Without Walls. Just Windows Then?
