We all know that the CPU (microprocessor) is the heart of our computer. If it's fast you'll see it, if it's not you'll feel that too in every day tasks. If you're curious how a microprocessor is made you can check this Intel webpage or download this presentation. What's the most interesting part is
By default a wristwatch has the primary function of displaying time (a regular watch, not a collection one). A cell phone also has the function of displaying time but that's secondary. What do you get when you combine the two of them, a gadget in the form of a watch with an extended function of a ce
On of the advantages of working in the IT Press, even remotely, is that you get to test the latest gadgets and be the one that tells friends what to buy, not the one that asks. This week we've received at the office the 5800 XpressMusic, the first serious touchscreen phone from Nokia. I don't wan

Technology Evangelist, a term I've heard this year, made me investigate it a little, to see what's really about. The Wikipedia explanation is pretty short but straightforward, but there's always more to add about it so here's my view on this. Let's start with the origin of the evangelist, which is
Do you like small laptops? Do you like cheap laptops? Till this year you couldn't find one, but ASUS did it and launched the Eee PC. Basically, we have a very small notebook (7 inch screen) made from old components (conceived some years ago, not build the same time). For around 400 $ you get the fo
Can you remember the last day when you haven't used your computer? Or the last week when you didn't touch the keyboard? I'm pretty sure you can't, as computers entered our lives fast and we are now used to use them every day. All this sounds ok, but I'm guessing you don't know what health problem
The next clip is pretty much self explanatory. It's a collection of login/boot screens and startup sounds of Windows operating systems from first edition to Vista. Source
