"A typical Netbook has a 7 inch screen, an Intel Atom or Via Nano processor, a solid state (flash) hard drive and a keyboard that’s 80-85% standard size. Most have Wifi. Some have other bells and whistles like bluetooth, a camera, etc. I find Netbooks unusable for three reasons: they’re underpowered as PCs, the screen is too small for web surfing, and the keyboard is so small that effective typing is impossible. The basic problem as I see it: Netbooks are designed to appeal to two very different markets - the price sensitive and the size sensitive. The two are really mutually exclusive."

Michael Arrington has posted a scathing article on Netbooks, describing them as a inadequate for the markets it is targeted for and even takes the opportunity to plug his concept tablet. I have to disgree, as I see Netbooks happily serving many customers. On paper Netbooks definately do not impress, but their purpose is to serve as a lightweight, mobile companion. I think Arrington has fallen into the same trap that many others do in seeing a Netbook that is the same form factor as a notebook, his expectation is that it is a notebook. Netbooks fill a much different need, with customers, not techies, who just want to be able to access the Internet to check their email, IM their buddies, and twitter a bit. Netbooks are capable of a bit more, of course, but even in only serving that much, they probably fit 80-90% of what a customer needs. Does Arrington have a point? Sure. But I think he's only highlighting that Netbooks have a limited use for someone into tech. Tell me there's at least one person other than myself that have welcomed Netbooks with open arms.

Hi,

I am relatively new to Mac OS X. I am running Leopard, and I want to share a printer over IP. The printer is connected to my office's iMac, and I want to be able to print from my notebook as well (MacBook Pro). The problem is that my notebook connects to the wireless internet at work, and therefore it is not in the same LAN as the desktop. So I would like to share the printer over the internet.

I have already enabled "Printer Sharing" in the iMac (which has the printer hooked to it). I know the IP address of the iMac, and I have been trying to add an IP printer in the MacBook Pro using that address, but so far I have not been able to do it. Any help? Thanks

just some findings on opening up my MBP 2.53 Unibody

after my superdrive died in my new unibody apple sent me a replacement Macbook pro. unfortunately the replacement arrived with a wonkey on button. i took the opportunity to open up both notebooks and swap the on button rather than get another computer sent to me. while i was doing this i noticed they appear to have changed the sort of super drive used.

my first unibody (october) had an: Unbranded HL-DT-ST DVDRW GS21N Firmware SA15, made in korea

my second (november) has a Matshita DVD-R UJ-868 Firmware KA14
this second drive appears to have (under "write strategies") the added ability of CD-Raw in the list of formats (whatever that is). The drive is branded as panasonic and made in china

the only other difference is that the new drive is a fair bit quieter and quite different to look at.

the swapping of the on button isnt too hard, i see a few people seem to have had a button that sits a bit low in the body of the notebook. just under the button is a little spring that on my replacement notebook didnt push up hard enough. also the symbol on the face of the button had been printed skewed. i really dont know how these things get passed quality control, LOL.

Nokia could be developing a new, much larger portable device that sits above its Internet Tablets in features, a new research note by UBS analyst Maynard Um says. Where the existing N810 has just a 4.1-inch display, investigations by Um point to the existence of either a notebook or tablet with a 9- or 10-inch display and features that have never existed on an Nseries tablet, such as a touchpad f...

pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/iphone_and_pc.jpg"It seems we're approaching a new age here on the Internet. Instead being anonymous, faceless IP addresses, social computing and changing technologies have allowed the lines between the "real" world and the "virtual" world to blur. Web 2.0 helped create a world where your identity is revealed in bits and pieces as you share snippets of your life online - a photo here, a Stumble there, a tweet, a Digg, etc. However, the rise of social media is only one of the changes that is busy shaping the new web. /p p align="right"emSponsor/embr /a href='http://d.openx.org/ck.php?n=12762amp;cb=12762' target='_blank'img src='http://d.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=861amp;cb=12762amp;n=12762' border='0' alt='' align="right" //a/p pOn tomorrow's web, we're no longer going to be anonymous. In fact, one can argue that we're no longer anonymous today, but that's not entirely true. We're still hearing of people hijacking people's names and brands on social networking sites like a href="http://twitter.com"Twitter/a, for example, and any MySpace search for a famous celebrity will return hundreds of results purporting to be the "official" page for that person. But those days of "faking it" may be fading fast. /p h2Being "Fake" Is Now A Crime/h2 pA precedent-setting case, the Lori Drew MySpace trial, has just come to an end. If you're unfamiliar, this was a case where an overprotective mom established a fake online identity to bully her daughter's rival. The judge's ruling has now criminalized the act of creating a fake persona online. In the case of Drew, most would agree she deserves the punishment she received. However, the aftershocks of the ruling could very well impact the online identity creation process for years to come if it's not overturned. /p h2Authenticating The "Real" You/h2 pimg src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/f8_image1.jpg" align="right"To address the needs of sites wanting weed out fake personas, users will have to be authenticated in new ways.
