Hands on: Running Windows 7 on a netbook
Microsoft has said that any version of Windows 7 will run on a netbook. We tried
it with Windows 7 Ultimate and got mixed results.

Preston Gralla: Acer and Intel: Crippled Windows 7 netbooks won't sell
The crippled version of Windows 7 that will ship with some netbooks may be a
non-starter --- partners Acer and Intel have both said they don't believe that
netbooks equipped that way will sell.

Seth Weintraub: With 27 apps per device, iPhone customers aren't likely to stray
Just like the purchased .AAC file libraries that kept traditional iPod owners
from straying to other MP3 players, the iPhone's apps are likely to help Apple
keep its touch device customers loyal to its products. Here's why.

Report: Verizon in talks with Apple to become iPhone carrier

Douglas Haider: RSA inspired thoughts on wireless security
With the RSA conference in full swing, I got thinking about mechanisms for
wireless security in the enterprise. One of the main instruments for enterprise
class wireless security is a wireless intrusion detection system.

Netbook or ultraportable: Which is best for the job?
The boundaries between the two portable computer types are blurring. Here's how
to decide if a laptop or a netbook is right for you.

How Bluetooth got as fast as Wi-Fi
Bluetooth stopped being chained to the low-power, low-throughput radio that has
been both its strength and its weakness. New code lets Bluetooth applications
now run over 802.11g wireless connections in the 2.4GHz, with a throughput jump
to 20M to 24Mbps, from 1M to 3Mbps.

Opinion: What I want in the next iPhone
Sooner or later -- with an emphasis on sooner -- a new iPhone will come along.

spells out what he'd like to see in the next iPhone from Apple.

Mobile devices ship ahead of expectations, but still down 11%

Mike Elgan: Digital nomads: Your camera has arrived at last!
I've got a common-sense list of 8 criteria for an acceptable digital nomad
camera. Until this month, no camera met all requirements. But when the $400
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 shipped this month, all criteria were suddenly met. I've
bought and tested the camera, and can now recommend it highly -- very highly --
to all you digital nomads out there.

GPS can help your business
I went on vacation recently, and during that time I realized how dependent I
have become on GPS applications to find what I am looking for. GPS devices
maximize my vacation time by letting me drive less, since by using them, I never
get lost. And driving less means I'm living a greener life, too.

SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY
_____________________
Sometimes, they just don't listen...
I have a manager that requested network accounts for two of his sales guys. Not
really a problem, except these two guys are really old-school, and they have had
network accounts set up for them multiple times in the past. Every time, they
stop logging in to their computers, and 90 days later, their accounts are
deleted due to inactivity ...
