Microsoft’s XP for low-cost PCs defines some boundaries
Written by admin on May 10, 2008 – 4:54 pm -
While Microsoft has seen it fit to keep XP around as its “relatively non-bloated OS” alternative to the Linux that has dominated this new category of “ultra low-cost PCs” (ULPCs), they’re certainly not giving away the farm. Microsoft doesn’t want this version of XP Home creeping into mainstream laptops and desktops, where it might compete with Vista sales and high-margin machines from PC manufacturers. To that end, Microsoft is setting the limits for ULPCs at 10.2-inch screens, 80GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, 1GHz processors (with some exceptions) and no touchscreens. The upshot is that licenses for XP will go for $26 in developing nations and $32 elsewhere. Too bad the XP faithful among us will need to try a bit harder to wrangle XP onto new machines of theirs that don’t fit these narrow specifications.

Moshi’s Zefyr MacBook cooler is way hot
Written by admin on May 10, 2008 – 4:51 pm -
If you haven’t faced MacBook Air overheating issues, you’re clearly in the minority, and regular ol’ MacBook users have been faced with plenty burnination of their own. While there are plenty of laptop coolers out there, none have been so specifically designed to address these two perennial overheaters as Moshi’s Zefyr. The aluminum heatsink setup has an “ultra-silent” USB-powered fan and is quite minimal, just concentrating on the MacBooks’ problem spots up top. Even better for Air users: you won’t be monopolizing your lone USB plug to work it. Zefyr is available now for $75 in silver or black.[Via Laptop Logic]
