Are feds involved in bid to undo state open govt law?

Did you know that there are more than 40 so-called Fusion Centers across the U.S.? A Fusion Center is a top-secret site where federal and state officials meet to share, analyze and redistribute information on "all hazards, all threats," as Ars Technica explains. Here's a map of...

Alienware M15x (Intel Core i7 720QM, 250GB HDD, 3GB)

Keeping the same revised look and feel as the recent 17-inch M17x version, the Alienware M15x is an imposing black slab of computing power that's thicker and heavier than most 17-inch laptops. We love having high-end options such as Intel's uberpowerful Core i7-920XM CPU, and it's a plus that...

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309

Sometimes, it takes a good retail excursion to find a deal that isn't otherwise possible. Case in point: the Toshiba T135. While we have already reviewed two different versions of Toshiba's Windows 7 entry to the thin-and-light laptop landscape, we were pleasantly surprised by this retail-only configuration. This is not...

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980

You can't argue with a large-screen, value-priced laptop when it delivers good performance, and looks nice to boot. We appreciated the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960 when we reviewed it in our 2009 back-to-school retail roundup, liking its affordability, large screen, strong battery life, and excellent-sounding speakers. Just a few months later,...

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1310

How much of a difference does a single-core versus dual-core ultralow-voltage processor make on a thin-and-light these days? You may not be paying attention under the hood--and that's not your fault, because it's hard to notice the differences based on processor name and Intel sticker-logos--but you should know that it...

Oracle OpenWorld 2009 - Social CRM Technology Rears an Actual Head

I am almost always in awe of Oracle OpenWorld.  The scope of this conference is spectacular. Can you imagine an event that the attendance is down to 37,000 attendees?  Actually, that puts me in awe of their event planners more than even the event. How in the name of whoever...

Toshiba Satellite T135-S1300

Thin-and-light laptops may look similar, but they're not all made the same. It's a deceptive world out there, especially since many thin-and-lights trade performance for a stylishly thin chassis, all while marketing a mainstream look that suggests performance equal to other notebooks.The Toshiba T135 is part of Toshiba's new T100...

Ubicomp 2009 and the fusion of our digital and physical worlds

Recently, I used my newly downloaded Zipcar app on my iPhone to unlock and honk my booked vehicle from several yards away. It was more novel than useful, but a tall tale example of the countless invisible interactions we're having with sensing, inferring, and data transferring machines every day. It's...

Apple's Snow Leopard Completely Blows It Virtually

RE: Apple's Snow Leopard Completely Blows It VirtuallyI think there is a lack of understanding of Apple's goals here. Mac OS can run perfectly fine on commodity hardware from Dell, etc. they just purposely prevent it from doing so. (Check out all the "Hackintosh" OS X boot-loaders if...
