Re: Google Search: When You Can’t Find it on Twitter

visu — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:34:39 -0000

This is so true. I experienced this many times, for example last year when there was snow in Las Vegas. Nothing on my regular news sites, then I hit up the Twitter search and found a lot of real people talk about the topic.

Twitter is a great phenomenon.

Re: Medion launches E1211 and E1215 netbooks in Europe

visu — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 09:31:16 -0000

It's true, Medion is quite popular in Europe. I live in Germany where Medion often sells their computers in our local supermarkets for a relatively small price. So, this new netbook could sell pretty well, too.

Re: You want all day computing? MSI Wind U115 + 9 cell battery = 25 hours

visu — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:46:13 -0000

I totally agree, that's pretty impressive. At least all the other netbook manufacturers will see this results and build more models with SSDs.

Re: Rumor: Nokia moving ahead with netbook plans

If it's a MID, an ARM processor would certainly make more sense since they are faster and less power consuming.

Re: The Linux Foundation takes over Moblin development

Nice move by Intel, this might led to some improvements for the community. Wish more manufacturers/companies would do such things.
Linux still has hardware driver problems, although this issue gets resolved more and more.

Re: Asus Eee PC 1000HE review

visu — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 08:09:59 -0000

Excellent review.
I come to the same conclusion as you, it's an improved 1000H netbook and one of the best 10-inch laptops around at this time.

Re: Asus launches Eee PC 1002H

visu — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 11:29:44 -0000

I agree, Asus' naming scheme is quite confusing.
And what about the news about cleaning up the model strategy some time ago?
Seems like this rather meant that they will concentrate more on 10-inch devices in the future.

Re: Samung launches WiMAX enabled NC10 netbook in Russia

visu — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:23:55 -0000

That's great. In my opinion, more netbooks should have some sort of mobile broadband connectivity. After all, netbooks are ultra mobile devices and you often take them to place where there is no WiFi.

Re: MSI Wind U115 tested, dissected in Polish

visu — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:50:02 -0000

The 13 hours reported by eee-pc.de are really impressive since the test forces the CPU to run at 100% all the time. Wifi was off, but still great run time.

Seems like the processor combined with the SSD are huge power savers.

Re: Samsung NC10 Special Edition touchpad shows minor improvements

visu — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:42:02 -0000

A bigger touchpad is certainly a good thing, personally I think it's a little too small in the original NC10.

The Special Edition is only $50 more than the standard NC10 and you get a great battery.

When will Amazon ship?

Re: Yet another MacBook Mini hack – with glowing Apple logo

visu — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 12:14:24 -0000

I agree, it's still pretty cool and I can confirm, it's fun to run Mac OS X on a netbook.

Is there any new news or rumors about an Apple netbook?

Re: Asus to phase out 9 inch netbooks, focus on 10 inch models

visu — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:50:27 -0000

I'm sure they have run the numbers and the 10-inch models will make more money, but some kind of VAIO P model would be cool, too.

Re: Xandros announces Linux platform, app store for ARM-based devices

visu — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:10:03 -0000

Nice to see some competition between processor manufacturers. It's fine as long as there is an operating system which support them.

But I'm skeptical about the App Store. It's an unproven income stream for netbooks and there are plenty free Linux applications out there. Let's see how this develops.

Re: Dell Mini 10 coming this month?

visu — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:24:51 -0000

@Pixel Qi fan: We will have to wait for touch screens a bit longer, I guess.

@DougC3: Some benchmarks and personal preference should clear up the confusion.

Well, a 10 inch model lacks in Dell netbook series, I'm sure it will do great, especially with the higher resolution.

Re: Water-resistant Internet Viewer prototype by Toshiba

Yeah, some people seem to need this kind of devices.

Also handy if you travel a lot in rain forests ;)

Re: Acer makes Aspire One AOD150 with 10.1 inch screen official in the US

visu — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:27:29 -0000

It's time the netbook manufacturers come up with some new features like more models with 3G included.

Re: Another way to turn an Eee PC 701 into a tablet

visu — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:09:10 -0000

Turning a netbook into a tablet is just one part of the story. What lacks is a proper operating system like the iPhone OS or Android for mobile devices with a touch screen. Running Windows on a tablet is just horrible.

However, I respect all the hackers out there who share their experiences. Now the big manufacturers have to come up with a good touchscreen OS.

Re: You know netbooks have gone mainstream when…

visu — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:20:12 -0000

At least they didn't try to be "funny" like the Lenovo guys in the Lenovo W700ds Ad ;)

Re: No new netbook models form Asus until Q2 2009?

visu — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:15:24 -0000

Well, this could be a good opportunity for Asus to rethink some models. There are plenty out there already and customers are getting confused.

Re: How to install Eeebuntu with a usb flash drive

visu — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:29:47 -0000

Handy alternative if you don't have a external drive. Thank you, I followed the guide and it worked on my Eee PC 1000H. I had to tweak a few things afterwards, but if one has some basic Linux knowledge, everything should work fine.
