PALO ALTO, CALIF.—Any tech enthusiast, and journalist, has to juggle dozens of code names and brands: Centrino. Deneb. Merom. R780. Timna. Whether they be ancient history or a speck on the horizon, they’re usually somewhat distinctive.Personally, I dislike Intel’s 2009/2010 desktop roadmap. Not the processors, but the code names. They share commonalities, so it appears as if there’s a rhyme or reason. But that’s not true in all cases. So if nothing else, I’m going to use this entry to at least try to clear up the differences in my own mind.
Fortunately, Lily Looi, a principal engineer at Intel, presented an update on Intel’s efforts to bring its Nehalem architecture mainstream that coincidentally included the slide above as a reference. Looi made her presentation at the Hot Chips conference here, where Monday morning was spent discussing AMD’s Magny-Cours and the Intel Nehalem-EX microprocessor.

Sure — we haven’t seen or heard anything about Coby’s netbook line since way back in January at CES, but that didn’t stop them from showing up for pre-order, did it? Color us a little surprised, but here they are. Two models have appeared on Amazon for pre-order. The 12.1-inch Coby NMPC1220XPBLK apparently boasts a 1024 x 800 resolution, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive, while the NBPC1022XPBLK is a 10.1-incher with identical specs. The first runs $423, while the 10.1-inch model is $318. So tell us: will you be ordering one?

The stuff that makes the upgrade worthwhileFrom Windows 3.1 to Windows Vista, the Windows operating system has taken many giant leaps. And while Vista received a lukewarm reception from some users, Windows 7 is likely to be remembered for addressing those criticisms.
In fact, there aren’t many changes to the overall look of Windows 7 when compared to Windows Vista. Instead, Microsoft seems to have paid attention to the feedback it received and created an OS that is not only stable, but also very capable.
Retweet this postSecurity and privacy are some of the major concerns these days while choosing a web browser to use. So much so that all the major players in the “browser wars” are providing or developing a private browsing mode. Firefox with the myraid of add-ons that it has to offer is never far from action. Here are some of the top Firefox addons that you should install for better privacy and security Stealther Stealther - Stealther provides you with what can be called a private browsing mode. It allows you to browse the web without leaving any trace. The addon disables browsing history, ...
This isn't really computer related, but I thought this was very neat. See a digital hologram of Smart Grid technology come to life in your hands. How it works is you print off a document on their website and use a webcam from your computer. It displays a digital hologram on your computer screen. You can even blow into the speaker and the hologram fans spin faster. There is also one with solar panels too. http://ge.ecomagination.com/ Be sure to checkout my Go Green computer page too. www.gwhizpc.com/green.html

To help push Microsoft through the recession, expunge memories of Vista, conquer the netbook market, improve PC users' lives in general or, who knows –think positive, people – maybe all of the above, Windows 7 continues its hectic schedule toward launch. The Windows 7 Center blog reports that the Release Candidate (RC) version of Microsoft’s new OS –its dress rehearsal edition, and the last stop before a commercial build goes to PC makers – is now due in late May. The blog’s lead – a translated Russian post – seems hairy. But the W7 Center is part of a close-knit set of blogs ...
After hearing of the thousands (hell, two thousands!) of bug fixes and enhancements that Windows 7 users will be seeing as they make the journey from Beta to Release Candidate, you'd have thought that we'd heard the last of all that for a bit. But not so! It seems that Microsoft's own Engineering Windows 7 blog will be letting the improvements trickle out as they are addressed. So brace yourself for some exciting plot twists, such as improvements to the taskbar thumbnail overflow and various jump lists, the trimming of sound schemes to enhance system performance, and our personal favorite, ...
Google disclosed Saturday that it shared a very small number of online documents with users who weren’t authorized to see them. The privacy glitch, caused by a software bug, affected just a tiny fraction of documents — an estimated less than .05% — wrote Jennifer Mazzon, Google Docs product manager, on a corporate blog. Google notified users affected by the bug on Friday and reversed the mistake, she said. The bug hit users who changed their sharing settings on multiple presentations and documents at once, causing Google to share those documents with other users with whom the document owner had shared a ...
Deleting accounts you've created on Facebook, MySpace, AOL, and elsewhere on the Web isn't always easy. Here are the details on leaving 23 services behind. The words "I wish I could quit you" take on a whole new meaning when you want out of a relationship with an online service. Sure, you once thought you and Facebook or MySpace would be together forever, but eventually terms of service change, end-user license agreements mature, and, well, you're just not in the same place anymore. Sadly, not all Web sites and social networks are created equal when it comes to breaking up. With some, ...
DropBox has to be one of the easiest ways to share files on multiple computers. After you install DropBox, there is a folder called “My Dropbox” located in your documents folder. When you place a file in that folder, it will be uploaded to the web and synchronized across multiple computers, if you have DropBox setup for them too. You can also create a folder and share files with friends. We have a local community college in my area that is using DropBox to turn in classroom assignments. The great thing is that it works on Windows, Mac and Linux. As an ...
If you can fit a whole computer, keyboard and screen into a tiny, fold-up 7" box, why not squeeze one into a keyboard? And while you're there, what about adding a little touchscreen in the space normally inhabited by the number pad? What's that? Asus did it already? By jove, it did! Look at that! The Eee PC Keyboard is a netbook stuffed inside a keyboard: 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB RAM and either an 8GB or a 16GB solid state drive for storage. The touch screen is a five-incher and can be used for navigation and display. Should you feel the ...
Facebook users are at risk from malicious hackers targeting the site, online security experts warned. Account holders have been hit by several different hacking attempts in the last week, as thieves try to capitalize on the trust users place in the service. Rik Ferguson, senior security adviser at Tokyo-based Trend Micro, said that Facebook, which has more than 174 million active users worldwide, had been hit by four separate "rogue applications" and a virus targeted at users of the site.
Analysis Opinion - Marvell announced today a new type of computer. It's about the size of an AC to DC converting wall outlet plug, but is really a full SoC with a 1200 MHz CPU, built-in 512 MB Flash, 512 MB DRAM, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. It runs small versions of Linux, consumes about 5 watts max while allowing remote users (presumably those authorized by the owner) to access data stored on the device from remote locations including local intranets or over the Internet. The $49 device opens up a wide array of extremely low-power, low-volume, always on ...
While we were in Vegas earlier this month covering CES, we got a sneak peek at the New American Home, a posh house on town outskirts that Microsoft and a few other select tech companies were involved in designing. Built on the same block where Wayne Newton lives, the half-acre home has tons of whole-house electronics, including 10 Toshiba HDTVs, a 16-zone Nuvo distributed-audio system, and Anthem A/V processors — all controlled by Lifeware software that lets you access it from anywhere. You can start your bathtub (Kohler, of course), pick what music you want to listen to, and fire ...
