So in 1952 the first mouse came out, and eventually changed personal computing because it improved the UGI ( User Graphic Interface) extensively.

by Stein July 26, 2010

Introduction Getting ready to grab my bag with my newest review unit, the Sony X115KX, to take to Panera.  I realized I really only needed to take the computer, so taking my entire backpack did not make sense considering this compact laptop fit comfortably in the small front pocket of the bag; I managed to [...]

Future Laptop Concept

by Stein July 18, 2010

If this is the future, I don’t like it. I wonder if it comes with with a pocket for this man’s masculinity that he can pull out when needed. But seriously. This type of machine does not seem that far away, especially because of how screens are becoming thinner and thinner; Sony has built one [...]

by Stein June 29, 2010

by Stein June 8, 2010

Introduction Walking through Best Buy as kid, I always remember seeing products made by Memorex, JVC, and Nintendo.  Then I would see their competition: very similar specs, higher priced, and always cooler looking.
