Two of Britain's mobile network operators have announced their intention to merge into a single company, which would then become the largest in the UK.
If the T-Mobile and Orange deal is allowed to continue, it could be signed in November. The new company would then control over one-third of the UK market.

1. Sony Vaio laptops preloaded with Google Chrome browser
Apparently it's been happening for some time, but Sony has been preloading some of its US-destined VAIO laptops with Google's Chrome web browser.
That's a great result for Google, even thought VAIO's aren't necessarily the most popular laptops going and that Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox have a huge market share in comparison (~70%/20%).
Is this a sign that Sony might be keen to get Google's forthcoming Chrome OS on board? It would be interesting to know, though hard to measure, how much damage PC manufacturers have suffered as a result of sticking Windows Vista on their computers. Windows 7 might be better, but perhaps Chrome OS will join Linux as a credible alternative OS — even as a build option rather than by default — for hardware vendors wanting to distance themselves from Microsoft.
Chrome might only have about two percent of the browser market share at present, but I just get the feeling that share will grow as more deals are done and the word gets out to Joe Public.

I am still very much hung up on tiny laptops, and I guess I will never get over them. But while I have bubbled on and on about the three biggest newsmakers of this year, the eeePC, the OLPC and the Intel Classmate, let me get back to the mainstream market, and give you... My gurly tech salivations.
It’s about time I actually wrote on gurly geekiness, because I seem to have written on everything else but gadgets that gurls love. I’m not DummyGeekGURL if I didn’t love pink too much, right?

Notebook designers and manufacturers have long searched for the holy grail of power efficiency. For this reason, the architecture of portable computers has evolved so much since the advent of laptop computers. And one of the main ways to conserve battery life is by reducing hard disk spinning.
Recently, the trend is going towards solid-state storage. This means drives that have no moving parts. Most popular of these is flash memory. They're cheap, durable, and can hold data even without power (unlike volatile RAM, which loses data when power is off). Since flash memory can allegedly reduce consumption caused by spinning hard drives, some manufacturers have switched to using solid state drives for their ...
