While B&N has recently shut down their tablet manufacturing operations, the Nook HD and Nook HD+ are still available for purchase. What makes the two tablets even more delectable are their new prices: $129 for the Nook HD and $149 for the Nook HD+. The Nook HD+ is my favorite, with a resolution of 1920×1280 but even the HD has a nice 7″ 1440×900 resolution display. When I took a look at the Nook HD+ around Christmas time it really

The small form factor (SFF) product category is really heating up! Apple pioneered the mass market consumer small computer arena with the original G4 based Mac Mini way back in 2005.

So disappointing. via FanlessTech: The Haswell disappointment. 🙁 Looks like the word of the day is delid… as that seems to be what is necessary to really push Haswell temps down 🙁 And here are more details: Haswell Temp
Ahh, the allure of a nicely portable yet rugged gaming system… 14″ sounds like a nice sweet spot between portability and decent screen size doesn’t it?! Two of the top machines in that arena are the Alienware 14 and the ASUS G46VW. Here are my initial thoughts: +The Alienware 14 when kitted out with the 1080p matte display is nearly a perfect mobile gaming machine 🙂 However, it is going to run around $1,499 to get a correspondingly good video
I am always in the market for a good camera bag, especially if it is compact and easy to travel with. 🙂 That is why this particular article by Derrick Story about the LowePro Transit Sling 250 AW caught my attention: I want to travel light, have fast access to my equipment, and carry a bag that doesn’t scream “camera gear.” Lately I’ve been packing my OM-D kit in the Lowepro Transit Sling 250 AW ($99) and feeling great, even
