Jul 25th 2008 1:40AM The N95 is great, until you run out of battery power an hour after you've turned it on.
Top speed test on Sunday, sell on Monday: 9ff offering limited run of GT9 supercar {Autoblog}
Jul 11th 2008 12:08AM You can't compare this car to the Veyron. This car isn't a luxury GT like the Veyron.
It's more like a rollcage with advanced aerodynamics and a huge powerful engine -- certainly a marvel of engineering, but not comparable to the Veyron.

Jul 3rd 2008 2:30AM You know they have corners in racetracks in Europe.
I think that's why they have so much trouble sourcing American drivers.

Dell E and E Slim revealed, taking on Eee and Air in one fell swoop {Engadget}
Jun 13th 2008 1:40AM I believe the 1Gb limit is caused by the first-generation Atom hardware this thing runs on, and is no fault of Dell's.
Besides, why do you need more than 1Gb for web-browsing, IM, e-mail etc? You can't play any games on this thing.
Emtec's gdium EM-PC laptop does not look like the Eee {Engadget}
May 21st 2008 11:35PM More subnotebooks = more competition.
This one actually looks like it's properly aimed at children, though. Using the USB key storage/authentication model so kids don't have to try remember passwords, WITHOUT having no passwords and making the security functions of Linux null and void.
I can forsee problems with document incompatibility though -- well, unless the new Office 2007 service pack with ODF support comes out before July.
OLPC XO officially gets Windows XP, children of the world to be assimilated {Engadget}
May 16th 2008 12:28AM The only reason you had difficulty with the command line was because your computer usage habits typically only involve clicking on dialogues.
If you had learnt from the start to be "multi-talented" with respect to entering commands into a computer (via keyboard, mouse, GUI or commandline) then it would have been a non-issue.
In short, you don't know how to use a command line, and that's fair enough. But what you're assuming is that using the command line is hard. It isn't, it's just different. An alternative.
OLPC XO officially gets Windows XP, children of the world to be assimilated {Engadget}
May 15th 2008 8:55PM IT professionals are objective use the best tool for the job. Linux is the best tool for the job in a circumstance where you want a customisable (kids don't want a start bar? They don't have to have one!), free (as in beer, and as in freedom, good for people who HAVE NO MONEY), light-weight (min. sys. requirements of Linux vs Windows? already they've had to include extra storage in the OLPC just to fit XP), open (maybe kids can learn to write their own software, and hey look, an entire operating system's worth of code is already there to learn from), robust (have you ever tried to run Windows with no swap file?), technologically advanced (automated mesh WiFi networking anyone? Does XP support this? - no)
In short, this is just Microsoft sticking their grubby fingers into everything yet again. They know that Linux is better for this task, and that's exactly why they've had to push so hard to get XP onto the OLPC.
