FinePix X100 Mode Dial Demo

Great preview by the Fuji Guys, 2 Fuji reps based in Canada. A lot of photo geeks are waiting in anticipation. The Olympus XZ-1 looks to be a good competitor in the serious compact class, but the Fujifilm X100 could start an entire new class.

Fujitsu LifeBook T580 Review

Laptops | CNET UK
Another so-so review. Quite tired of waiting for a convertible tablet with good battery life, reasonable speed, light weight, and 3G capability.

Should I just buy a end-of-line Acer 1825PTZ?

Let them shine: Caterham and Radical take centre stage

Autocar
Caterham makes a track car, and Radical converts a track car to a street legal road car. Nice, but Radical really should put in a bit more engineering and put in a roof. While they're at it, they should remove the front splitter.

What they'll get is a mini Le Mans street legal racer. And it'll sell. To fit a roof, they'll have to figure out how to build doors into the chassis (or maybe some innovative folding roof mechanism).

Better images of XPERIA X10 mini pro successor break loose

The specs look quite nice, except for one thing. Why do almost all QWERTY Android phones have specs just a little below the top of the line 1GHz processors?

Anyway, good to see the bigger space (screen now 3-inch) used for additional buttons like up and down, plus a browser shortcut button.

Are organisations rushing into Facebook?

Short answer: Yes.

The costs outweigh the benefits. Most organisations want to jump on the bandwagon and look "hip".

What costs you say? Isn't Facebook free?

Let me list some of them

1. manpower needed to cross-post items and manage comments
   
2. content on the Facebook can't be backed up
   
3. no comment moderation options available
4. content cannot be restricted to paying customers/members

The initial signs that something was underway came on Saturday, he said, when the secure https protocol became unavailable in Tunisia. This forced web users to use the non-secure http protocol.

Motorola Atrix 4G, HD multimedia dock, and laptop dock hands-on

The handphone is the computer. View the video in the link above to see the handphone being used like a mobile CPU, viewing a desktop browser via a dock or a laptop, and also the ability to run full OS software via a virtualised Citrix setup. Cool...
