Anybody try an Android GoPhone? by
John Doe
This looks like a good introduction to ultra portable computing (with communications).

Or, for me, a practical change from an iPhone 3G, since I use it

The hardware is probably going to do...

The PC Market by
geoff
So, it seems that opining about the upcoming fall of the PC is all the rage
today. Some cite Apple's success, others talk about HP's exit of the pc
market.
If it is true, the majority of people move to smart phones and tablets/IPads

Alternatives for ground (for PC's) by
Skybuck Flying[_7_]
Hello,
I am starting to suspect "ground" for PC's does more damage than good.
Perhaps the "ground" leads to a "backdoor" for electricity to do damage.
Therefore instead of dumping energy into the ground wire an alternative
could be found.
For example some kind of circuit which transfer the...

Davej
I just installed Win 7 and was surprised that it activated my
motherboard's integrated sound and network. It also has the video
running at a decent resolution. This pc is 4 1/2 years old. Should I

Thanks.

I have recently changed the internal DVD player from Sata to IDE. I done
