Laptop Multimon with the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition

A few days ago I ordered the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition .  You are probably wondering what I am talking about.  It's a cool device that allows a laptop, or a regular PC for that matter drive two monitors in one of the Windows Vista

Dell XPS 420 six month report

I've had my Dell XPS 420 six months now so I thought I'd give you an update on my impressions of the machine and changes I'm made to it since the initial purchase.  In reality, it just now does everything I want correctly.  Windows Vista SP1

Anyone can write an article these days…

Who's going to be first to run your laptop with this?

I can already see it now. Someone is going to pull the 2.5" Western Digital VelociRaptor™ 300GB 10,000rpm drive from the IcePack™ frame and stuff it in a laptop. I wonder if it's even possible. Or if that doesn't work, I wonder if this baby will go in

Who's your Daddy MacBook Pro? The ThinkPad T61p

I've been hearing for months and months how great the Apple MacBook Pro is at suspending and resuming from sleep, and how Windows Vista sucks. Don't believe it. My Lenovo ThinkPad T61p thumped the MacBook Pro handily in my testing yesterday afternoon.

Who's the fastest OS in the land? WinXP vs Vista vs OS X

Last weeks "interesting" Gartner report on Windows reminded me I had some unfinished business. I've actually been waiting for Windows XP SP3 to release before I ran some tests, but I decided to go ahead and have some fun today while watching the Masters.

Symmetrical 15meg speeds rock

At lunch time, I called Verizon to bump my FIOS data plan speeds up a notch. I left my download speed alone (15meg) but had them change the upload speed from 2meg to 15meg. Yep, I have a 15meg connection each direction now. I’m on the month-to-month plan

To Partner or Not To Partner

Last summer Mike Calligaro posted an interesting article on the Windows Mobile team blog. He lays out the Pros and Cons to “go it alone” or not. Although the article was written months ago, it’s still very relevant for a variety of reasons and I’m not

Walt spills the beans on new iPhone release?

Walt Mossberg was filmed talking about a lot of interesting subjects a couple of days ago. He went on a bit of a rant about the lame broadband connections most people have in the US. In fact, he singled out Verizon. I thought that was pretty interesting

I wonder who this ad is aimed at?

I think this ad is fascinating.  I started to doctor it and chop all of the text from the shadow down.  Then the ad would look like it was produced by the company it is likely targeted at.  Now Lenovo needs to come up with a logo.

That thang got a Hemi ???

This looks like one wicked motherboard. Based on the Intel Skulltrail chipset. Love the name. See the rest of the hardware porn at http://www.hothardware.com/News/Asus_Z7S_WS_Skulltrail_Motherboard_Sneak_Peek/ . Doesn't this remind you of an Edelbrock

Adam Carter just posted an interesting video over at http://edge.technet.com about PC power consumption.  I thought it was pretty interesting.  See http://edge.technet.com/Media/How-much-power-does-your-PC-consume/ for the details and of course
