iPad vs Netbook: Does a Physical Keyboard REALLY Matter?
While his email is original, the question from community member “Tamloo” is an all-too-familiar one for me (unedited): Hey Chris, I have been a really big fan of yous over the past couple of years. You are one of the main sources I get my technology news from. One thing I really like about you [...]

Correcting a Malware Untruth
There is a malware fallacy that needs to be corrected immediately. Some students have netbooks for taking notes because the machines are light and easily carried… and some even have terrific battery life. As students, they use their netbooks almost exclusively for taking lecture notes and checking email. There is a belief that, because the [...]
What are Your Greatest Accomplishments?
Reading threads on Geeks a little while ago, one headline in particular jumped out at me. The poster asks: What are your greatest accomplishments in life?.

What Toy Would You Want for Christmas?
I admitted in a video earlier today that I still enjoy playing with LEGO Bricks. I also apparently still like the Lite Brite!

Would You Like to Win an HP Laptop?
Anne, Karen, and their teams from HP were an awesome addition to the Gnomedex sponsor roster last year. They were on-site with several of their products – and even gave away many things!

Inspire Yourself in Twelve Seconds
During my run through everything on the Web earlier today, I came across an excellent Lockergnome article: 12 Seconds of Inspiration.

Can Hardware Development be Crowdsourced?
Looks like the TechCrunch Tablet (the CrunchPad) is coming along nicely. It’s good to see that they’re giving it a shot, at least! Even with the wide array of netbooks now available from major vendors, there seems to be a place for the CrunchPad – so long as the hardware is up to snuff. A [...]
