Netbooks + Ubuntu: On fence about form factor; OS solid

Last week, I bought a Dell Mini 9 preloaded with Ubuntu. The idea: Check out a  netbook and take Ubuntu for a spin. The early reaction: Netbooks can be handy,  but they can also cramp your hands with those dinky keyboards. And aside from some early problems with connecting to...

White T-Mobile G1 appearing, same lame keyboard lighting as the brown one?

It looks like the white T-Mobile G1 is starting to appear in stores for those who don't like the black or brown models. However, after first checking out the brown model, getting my own black model, and seeing the pictures of the white one I would highly advise that you...

Belkin N+ Wireless Router

Without a fancy name, the Belkin N+ impressed us where it matters the most: range and throughput performance. As a bonus, it also offers a limited network-storage function. We were only disappointed that it doesn't offer dual-band support, like the DIR-855 or the Linksys WRT610N. The N+'s performance, however, more...

A slightly blurry picture during DVD playback also detracts from the ViewSonic's appeal, and we noticed a yellowish...
