Bill Gates spreads the word too

From January 19 Bill Gates begun spreading the word too from his own official Twitter account. What? Of course, i became one of his thousands followers as soon as i found out. Is there a more trusted source to hear about Microsoft news and learn everything new about its products than the creator of Windows himself? The first tweet he made was a "Hello World" and some other things he said, i can't recall.
Follow him ( http://twitter.com/BillGates ) to learn useful stuff about his next plans or anything that he tweets about.
Also, he shares from now on, with us, the common people, a site with his notes ( www.thegatesnotes.com ) that are basically thoughts he makes about the world of today.

It's so much fun watching fanboys arguing about how the os or the services they are using are better than others

Recently i found in Digg a very interesting pic showing how fanboys see operating systems. I must admit this picture sums up the opinion we all have about operating systems and it's really funny. No impression that it has been dugg nearly 7000 times.

See it on Digg because the comments are really worth a look.

Also, another one same style pic showing how digg, reddit and 4chan fanboys see each other.

Hey, before leaving this post i should say that the browser i use to surf the net is much better than the one you use to scroll this page down. Except, of course, if you are using firefox.

Prince Of Persia; The Sands Of Time on my netbook (gaming)

I thought it would be pretty easy for my netbook asus eee pc 1101(atom z520, 2gb ram) to run the first Prince Of Persia game. That wasn't the case here. Ok, at first it was lagging a hard time (i didn't count fps with fraps or other program but maybe i'll do it for another post) but i thought it happened because of the graphic settings. I turned everything at its lowest so all i had were low settings. The game begun to run much smoother at the beginning scenes at least. When i got to a scene of the game where many characters appear on screen (the first battle you had to use the dagger to retrieve the sand from your enemies) the game was unplayable. The whole thing seems strange to me as i run the game on 2gb of ram and i thought it would run smoothly at least at medium settings because its an old game after all (2003). I shouldn' t have waited for anything more from an intel gma 500 graphic system. I'll try to play the game with 16-bit colour setting instead of 32-bit as i have heard that helps a lot and i'll report to you.

Asus Eee Pc 1101HA; My very first netbook (Hands-on review)

I'm not the guy that buys every new gadget in the market nor the one that changes his computer system every year or something like that. Frankly, i have my computer system for 3 and a half years now and i feel like having a strong bond with it despite its specs that are considered low-end nowadays. Nevertheless, i wanted to buy a small notebook to help me with my studies and be ultra portable. Also, i didn't want to spent a fortune for it and i didn't mind so much about the features it had. The only thing i wanted from the netbook i was going to buy was to run a version of Windows 7. The netbook i chose to buy is an Asus Eee Pc 1101HA featuring an 11,1 inch screen with resolution 1366x768HD,an Intel Atom Z520 at 1,33GHz, 2GB of ram(great for a netbook) and 250GB HDD that can reach up to 750GB of space using ASUS Webstorage Service. As an ordinary netbook it offers a high resolution web-cam, vga-out port, 3 usb ports, card reader(ms/pro duo), wifi n connectivity for even faster internet access and extreme portability. What this netbook offers more than other netbooks is its long lasting battery life that can reach up to 9 hours using Super Hybrid Engine, so you won't worry if you get out of battery any time soon after you unplug it.

Also, i found its keyboard really ergonomic, so this netbook will be helpful enough to write a blog post while you are on your way somewhere. What is more, Windows 7 fit perfectly with Asus Eee Pc 1101HA and for me is a good introduction to this operating system. Finally if you really care about environment and saving money as well this portable gadget is suitable for you as it has an energy star.

Nokia Booklet 3G

Nokia announced the Nokia Booklet 3G. It may seem just another netbook but its features show it isn't. It's a mini notebook (as Nokia claims) with mobile phone specs that increase its mobility. It features a 10,1 inch HD ready screen, HDMI output,bluetooth, wifi of course, 3G, HSDPA, ovi suite and more nokia services. Also, as the pictures show it may come with Windows 7. In my opinion it's another digital breakthrough from Nokia that will be really successful. We will just wait to see.

Copy of iMac or a powerful computer worth its money?

I am reffering to the new hp touchsmart iq 500 series (525).
Its hardware is really powerful considering the Intel Core 2 Duo P7450, 4gb of ram, 640gb hdd, blu-ray, vga 9600m gs hd 512mb, tv, wireless keyboard and mouse and of course a 22-inch touch-screen.
Its desidn is great and the touch-screen i would say is comfortable, but it's a pitty that the system has a blu-ray drive and the maximum resolution of the screen is 1680x1050 not full hd.
So, i am of the opinion that this all-in one pc is worth its money as the version of windows that comes with it really fits it but i don't think that it can be better than an iMac.
