Unless you were sleeping last week, you saw Bill Gates get really upset when asked about the Mac vs. PC campaign that Apple is putting on. I'm not sure it is wise to piss off someone like Bill personally in this way, and the campaign does seem to over-stereotype both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. In a...
Personal computer buyers last week rapidly snapped up machines loaded with Microsoft's new Vista operating system, buying nearly 70 percent more units during the week than they did during the same week in 2006, according to a report by Current Analysis. The figures show that 67 percent more PCs were...
In the coming weeks, the $100 laptop developed by the One Laptop Per Child foundation will go into wide-scale production. From there, the laptops will be sent by the thousands to emerging economies in Africa, South Asia and South America. Meanwhile, in the United States, PC makers, private foundatio...
It looks like 2007 is really starting out to be an incredible year for change. Last week was no exception, and with the launch of the new iPod based on the iPhone design followed by at least one potential iPhone-killer product later in the week, this trend will probably continue. We'll talk about mo...
Microsoft's much-anticipated Vista operating system became available to consumers this week, and, as with many new technologies, the excitement was tempered by an atmosphere of caution. So, Vista is finally here. Now what? Because Vista is the first major upgrade to Microsoft's operating system sinc...
Worries over the imminent death of Moore's Law have apparently been greatly exaggerated. At least that is the word following announcements on Saturday from both IBM and Intel that each has developed a new energy-saving microchip design. According to the two chip makers, the advance is the biggest br...
Researchers say they've created the world's densest memory circuit, about 100 times denser than today's standard memory unit and as small as a human white blood cell. Although mass production could still be a decade away and the chip contains only a modest capacity of 160,000 bits of information, th...
In an attempt to capitalize on the PlayStation 3's Cell Broadband Engine computer chip technology, Sony announced Wednesday that it has joined with Namco Bandai Holdings to form a new company to develop games for the console. The new company, dubbed "Cellius," will have Ken Kutaragi, widely consider...
In the ever-intensifying race to deliver the most memory in the tiniest chip, SanDisk on Tuesday rolled out its 8-gigabit, 56 nanometer NAND flash technology and promised to deliver a 16-gigabit version in the second quarter. Both versions of the 56 nm chip use multilevel cell technology to pack mor...
Intel has unveiled the next generation of wireless chips for its Centrino Duo mobile line used in many Intel-based laptops, which are designed to improve their ability to download music and stream high-definition video. The Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N network connection, an upgrade to the wireless com...
In announcing Thursday the release of its new Prada phone, LG Electronics didn't claim it was competing with the heavily-hyped Apple iPhone scheduled to be released in June. It didn't have to. The media did it on its own with headlines boldly suggesting the iPhone already had a competitor. Indeed, t...
Seagate Technology has introduced a new Savvio 15K hard drive that is 70 percent smaller and 1.12 pounds lighter than 3.5-inch units. It also draws 30 percent less electricity and has a reliability factor of 1.6 million hours mean time between failures, according to the company. Seagate believes the...
Hewlett-Packard researchers announced Tuesday that they have developed technology that could significantly boost the performance capabilities of an array of computer chips, while cutting back on power consumption at the same time. If the research proves sound and makes it to market, its impact could...
Just five months after it issued a massive recall of notebook computers because of defective batteries, Dell on Friday became the target of yet more legal problems involving its notebook equipment. A group of Canadian consumers is suing Dell over what they allege are faulty Inspiron notebook machine...
Macworld vs. CES was a huge mismatch; even if you took Microsoft out of the mix, this was more like an ant against a dragon than even Jack against a giant, and -- drum roll, please -- the ant won. By the end of Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld, the media had lost interest in CES, and reporters focus...
