The other day, we wrote about the positive points about Apple's upcoming iPhone. Now, while the phone is still under development (or perhaps just being refined) as we speak, many have already commented on possible downsides with the product. The iPhone--or at least the concept, as it is not yet in the market--is not without faults, if you consider the one that Steve Jobs demoed in the 2007 Macworld Expo and Conference to represent how the final product should be.
In terms of hardware, the lack of a physical keyboard is considered by some to be a potential problem because some people still prefer the tactile feedback of an actual keypad. And just like ...

As we earlier wrote about, one of the main topics of Steve Jobs' keynote at the 2007 Macworld Expo and Conference was the much sought-after iPhone. Much has been speculated about how Apple's phone would be, and even how it would be called, given that the "iPhone" trademark is actually already been owned by Cisco. Nonetheless, Apple chose to name its product "iPhone", and it seems to be an exciting product!
Engadget was among the first to break the news, and cites some of the key features of the iPhone.
Sweet, glorious specs of the 11.6 millimeter device (that's frickin' thin, by the way) include a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display with multi-touch support ...

Apple: No Longer Just a “Computer” Company
Posted by Jack as Apple
Apple shocked the geek world at the start of the new year with Steve Jobs' keynote speech at the Macworld Expo and Conference in San Francisco. It was here where he announced the oft-rumored and much-awaited iPhone, and along with that the change of the company's name from Apple Computer, Inc. to Apple, Inc. Taking out the "Computer" from the name meant a huge shift in the company's primary focus from being a company about computers, to being one about consumer products.
True enough, Apple had always been considered a niche company, catering to only a minority in the world's computer-using population. These were mostly those who loved and preferred Apple products, particularly professionals in graphics ...

Cars are, after all, another great big expensive gadget that we love to splurge/spend on. So in follow up to our previous guide on buying a car we think it's best to give a few tips about the specifics (i.e., options and choices you can look out for).
One basic question would be the engine type: gas (or petrol, as some cultures would prefer to call it) or diesel. These are worlds apart in terms of the various benefits and disadvantages. Diesel-powered cars, however, are not as popular as petrol-powered ones particularly in passenger cars in America. But in other parts of the world--particularly in Europe, since the EU has stringent emissions standards--diesels ...

Buying a car can be quite confusing especially for those who are not as well versed with car speak and car terms. Because a car is a major ticket purchase one should be very careful in inspecting a prospective car before actually parting with the hard earned cash. This would not be so much of a problem if a new car is being bought, but not everyone can buy a new car. A large percentage of the car buying public would opt to buy a second hand or used car so that they can realize a little savings for their purchase.
Below are some tips on how you can buy a car in a manner that is

This is something Windows lovers would find interesting (I for one, do use Windows from time to time, but I prefer to use my Mac for day to day work).
Amit of Digital Inspirations writes how you can get Vista for free. There are five ways:
Buy a new Vista capable PC.
Attend the 2007 CES conference in Las Vegas.
Get nominated for the Microsoft MVP programme.
If you were part of the Vista Beta tester program, Microsoft will send you a complimentary copy.
If you register for PowerTogether webinars, Microsoft will ship you a free copy.
Of course, most of these options are not exactly "free" in the sense that you don't have to shell out anything in order to ...

What I love about entry-level digital SLRs are their prices and sizes. For an amateur photographer like myself, they're advanced enough to play around with, but not too expensive to break the bank. And the size is just right--they're usually smaller than their pro counterparts. I'm not one to lug around a big camera bag stuffed with various lenses and accessories most of the time. While I'm mostly a fan of Canon when it comes to their venerable Rebel lower-end D-SLR series, I can say Nikon has been coming up with quite a good set of their own to challenge the Rebel's dominance.
DPReview--one of our favorite camera review sites--has recently reviewed the new ...

In my younger years (that doesn't mean I'm no longer young), I used to love playing flight simulators on my PC. Back then, there were no high-tech simulators for consumer-grade PCs, so I ran rudimentary DOS-based software like Chuck Yeager's flight simulator. This application was so simple that the planes were represented by polygons instead of graphics. Of course, the creators tried to make the representations look as accurate as possible--so for instance, an airplane's silhouette was more or less similar to the graphical representation.
However, as PCs gained processing power, the software also became more complex, and at some point I already stopped playing (or is it actually considered playing?) flight sims. So ...

Ask me what my favorite laptop brands are and I'll tell you hands-down that it's either Apple or Thinkpad. I absolutely love the way they design their notebook computers to be simple, functional and usable. Oh, and they look cool, too. And what's even more important, they come in the two colors (and gradients in-between) I consider to be best for laptop computers: black, white, and matte metallic grey!
Okay, forget the candy-colored iBook G3's of the late 1990's. The more modern G3 and the G4 iBooks came in shiny white. PowerBooks came in black (from the Wallstreet to the Pismo), white (the Titanium editions), and then metallic grey (the newer Aluminum editions). The same goes with the MacBook (black and white) and the MacBook Pro (metallic grey).
And let's not get started with the Thinkpad. IBM's flagship brand (since sold off to Chinese computer maker Lenovo) comes in any color as long as it's black. Sure, it's not cutesy candy-colored but it's business sexy.
Black comes off as serious, while white looks clean. Grey is a good in-between. Just don't make it too glossy or it would look like cheaply painted plastic.

Nikon D80 Previews
Posted by Jack as Cameras
For shutterbugs, the brand of cameras and photography equipment used is not only a matter of preference, but it can be almost like a religion. As I earlier mentioned when I wrote about the new Canon Digital Rebel XTi, you're either a Canonite or a Nikonian. It's like the two major religions of the photography world. The other ones have their specific niches and followers. But Canon and Nikon still lead the pack in terms of followership (or worshippers?). After all, these are the ones with the widest variety of accessories and lenses that are usually compatible across product lines within the same brand.
Canon's Digital Rebel series is considered a good entry-level set ...
