I took a look at the HP Mini 5102 netbook and recorded the entire process in the above video. I cut out the bad stuff and left in the good stuff.
I reviewed the base level model, which sells for $415. It’s got a 1.66GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, 4-cell battery and Windows 7 Starter. The screen measures 10.1 …
Evan had the March 28th date pegged a month ago, but here it is straight from the source. Nintendo has officially announced that the DSi XL will be available at the end of the month for $190.
The big difference (pun intended) between the currently-available DSi and the impending DSi XL is the DSi XL’s 4.2-inch screen size versus the

Students in two of Lee Sheldon’s game design classes at Indiana University are graded using a system of experience points similar to systems used in games like World of Warcraft.
According to Australian site iTnews:
“Students commenced the program as avatars at level one, which corresponded to zero XP and a grade of ‘F’. They …
Alert Ned Flanders! This Razer DeathAdder Left Hand Edition Gaming Mouse is a perfect item to be sold at the Leftorium in Springfield Mall.
Razer claims this is “the world’s first gaming mouse for left-handers.” Is that true? Man, you lefties have it rough. On behalf of technology, I’m really sorry it’s taken until 2010 for …
Today is St. Patrick’s Day. What better strange and mysterious creature to examine from a cryptozoological standpoint than the leprechaun?
Modern-day depictions of the leprechaun—little bearded men with pots of gold filled by paychecks from television appearances hocking sugary children’s cereal—can be seen as “little more …
Acer’s currently-available “Timeline” series of ultraportable notebooks made waves back when they were released thanks to their inch-thick frames and relatively light travel weight. The current crop uses Intel’s Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) processors, which sit somewhere in between netbook CPUs and a full-fledged notebook …
It’s no secret that the best ideas hit you while you’re either dreaming or in the shower. Best of luck trying to write something down while you’re asleep unless you sleepwalk habitually, in which case your scribbling probably looks like “Osmosis is after me. Bread! Taking Shasta by noon.”
Writing in the shower is a much more …
Over the next few months, it appears that we’re going to be seeing a distinct divide between tablets and slates. There will probably be some crossover in naming conventions—some slates called tablets, maybe some tablets called slates—but for the sake of argument, let’s refer to tablets as devices that run more mobile-ish …
This is “They Should Make It.” It’ll appear here every Tuesday and will contain some really mind-bending ideas for products and services that don’t yet exist—but should! You may not agree with my ideas, and that’s okay. It’s not like we’re taking a road trip together or anything.
This week’s topic was a dead simple …
Microsoft is slowly (slooooowly) making its way back into the mobile phone arena with the impending Windows Phone 7 initiative. It’s seriously like the guy who waits until 10:59:59 to check out of a hotel. Apple, Google, and even Palm are halfway to Albuquerque and Microsoft hasn’t even showered yet.
But Microsoft’s got a …
Dot-com, you’ve grown up so fast! Seems like only yesterday you were just an innocent top-level domain running around the kitchen in your diapers. We knew you’d turn into something special, though, no doubt about it.
In recognition of your 25th birthday, we’d like to take a look back at all you’ve accomplished. This is your …
I’m not the most organized man in the history of men but it’s not for lack of trying. It’s more for lack of will, determination, time, time management skills, cleanliness (both personally and around the house), money, proper genetic predisposition to organization, and more.
Mostly it’s because it seems like too much work, even though …
