The emerging market for budget netbook computers is seen as a big opportunity for Linux, which appeals to hardware manufacturers because of its lower licensing costs and better flexibility than Windows. It can also be tailored to work well with unusual form factors and limited specs. Although Linux seems like a perfect fit for these products, consumers have been slow to warm up to the platform and may not yet be ready to leave the world of Windows behind. (more)

A new Texas law requires every computer repair technician to obtain a private investigator's license, according to a lawsuit filed in Austin. Violators can face a $4,000 fine and one year in jail, as well as a $10,000 civil penalty. Those of you who have multiple hard drives in your computer, can rest assured that RAID configurations can also be recovered. If a single hard drive on the RAID configuration fails, the RAID setup will absorb the blow and there won’t be a loss of data. On the other hand, if the entire RAID configuration crashes, it will crash big time. Whenever this happens, you’ll need to send it off and have technicians restore both the RAID hardware and software. Recently I saw an ad for Panasonic Toughbook notebook computers. I think it's a bad idea to "label" laptops as "tough". It gives the user a false sense of safety thinking they can treat their laptops badly with the expectation no negative effect can happen. Manufacturer's can claim how "tough" their laptops are all they want. But in the end some naive traveller thinks they can check their notebook at the airport and expect it to work after being tossed about in the cargo hold. Good luck with that. |
