Notebook computers may not have the same cachet as a Hermes purse or a Savile Row suit, but for some executives, carrying the right laptop ranks on a level with choosing the most suitable restaurant for a power lunch or driving the best company car. Depending on the type of business in which prospec...
As brick-and-mortar store managers start dusting off their reindeer and snowflake decorations, thoughts of revenue sugarplums doubtless are dancing in e-tailers' heads. Analysts are predicting robust growth in online spending as the gift-buying season gathers steam. The popular item categories also ...
No matter how powerful notebook computers get, sooner or later all systems are limited by how long their battery can endure. Indeed, battery life always has been a major bottleneck for notebooks, and it seems the bigger the computer and the more features it has, the shorter its battery life is. This...
I'm an experienced software engineer, not a Microsoft apologist. Moreover, my company makes a living patching the holes in Microsoft operating systems.

Palm's latest trick is a combination organizer/camera/MP3 player/movie player called the Zire 71 -- the second version of the company's consumer-model PDA. The bad news is, the Zire 71 has a slow camera that takes fuzzy pictures and an MP3 player that's never quite loud enough. The good news is, for...
Number one chipmaker Intel has announced the first quarter is unfolding largely as expected, but cautioned that while sales of PC chips are strong, there is little evidence of a real recovery. Intel also said a move to raise the price of its flash memory products, by as much as 40 percent in some ca...
Pummeled by general economic woes and skidding demand for its handheld computers, Palm has announced a projected earnings shortfall, on the heels of the dismissal of nearly 20 percent of its staff.
