HP Compaq 8000f Elite Eco-friendly Desktop

 HP has announced a new eco-friendly desktop, the HP Compaq 8000f Elite, at CES 2010.  Often companies attempt to pass off "eco-friendly" products by using carbon offsets or other effortless methods, when there is really nothing eco-friendly about the product itself.  Not so with this product, actual effort and thought was put into it.  Like most HP products, this PC was built and marketed with businesses in mind, but this product would fit just fine in any ...

Why do people drink bottled water?  Because it's healthier, some people claim.  Not so, say doctors and scientists.  The ABC television show 20/20 put bottled water to the test in 2005.  They took five common brands, along with samples of tap water from drinking fountains in New York City and sent them to a microbiologist.  The verdict, no difference. 
"Tap water tastes yucky" is another common response.   I always thought water just tasted, well... like water.  Not so, according to this website ...

t’s tiny. It’s potent. And it’s cheap. The Zino HD from Dell offers a lot of power for a little cash. This 8x8 PC is being billed by Dell as the ideal addition to the living room as an entertainment console and High-Def go to that doesn’t require a Blu-Ray player (seriously, high definition belongs on a hard drive). But, like most Dell’s, the performance is scalable and the scant $230 entry-level entry fee represents a rather tame HD experience.

At the low end Dell is offering AMD Athlon Neo X2 6850e processor, Windows ...



When looking to upgrade your keyboard and/or mouse there are several criteria which will determine where to start looking. Price is the most immediate determinate and it is usually predicated on whether you require a wired or wireless setup. From there comfort, quality, and features play various roles. At the low end is the wired variety store brand keyboard, while the other end is the Logitech Wireless Wave.

Logitech has spent many a product line finding the ideal harmony between ergonomics and features. The Wave keyboard, ...



Some people loath it, others ignore it, but no one is free of it. I’m talking about desktop clutter, and not the kind caused by meandering icons. Whether you have a massive sprawling desk or one tucked into a tight little cubicle, managing what’s scattered around can not only improve efficiency, it can help keep you sane. For me and my moderate-sized desk, it’s always an ebb-and-flow between cleanliness and ungodliness. But when it comes to my iPod Touch and spare USB ports, it usually gets tucked away, tethered to the backend of my PC by the stout little Apple cord. What’s ...


I’ve never been a fan of track pads. They’re slow, not always responsive, and for some reason every time I try to use one the pointer ends out sporadically hopping around at random (could have to do with this). Thus, when it came time to purchase a laptop, I opted for the touchscreen variety. It’s the wave of the future, you see (not to be confused with the Wave of the future). In fact, every time I tap the screen it might as well be another strike ...


There are two predominant camps in the world of computing: those that embrace the laptop trackpad and those that cling to ye olde mouse. The latter are easily spotted in libraries and class rooms with a laser mouse plugged into their brand new laptop. Microsoft is looking to increase the number of people that pack peripherals with their portable computers. That ambition begins at the prototype stage and that’s where we find 5 concept mice currently in-development in Redmond.

The most prominent concept borrows, ironically, from recent innovations in ...



All-in-one PCs can be a tricky sell, mainly because they aren’t always easy to modify or upgrade. What’s more, if you already own your ideal monitor, then shelling out for such a combo doesn’t always make sense. But when you toss out such features as Blu-ray, 1 TB of storage, and 4GB of RAM, upgrades might not be the first thing that comes to mind. And as for your ‘ideal monitor’ it’ll have to be pretty robust to compete with a responsive multi-touch 24-inch display. But those are just some of the standard features in Medion’s ...


Computers use energy, and lots of it. Even my trusty laptop can’t help but consume exorbitant amounts of wattage, whether it’s doing an now-infamous Google search or just in standby. But Fujitsu Siemens has just unveiled the newest in their line of low-watt computers at the CeBit show in Hannover, Germany on March 3rd, a desktop that uses zero- that’s ...


There are a million tech terms out there from the newest G3 to the hype in CFL, and most of the time I have no idea what they mean. OLED is just the newest in a long line of up-and-coming technologies with snappy acronyms, but what is the OLED display and why is it so much better than regular LCD (liquid crystal display) technology?

LEDs are very well known for their recent use in Christmas lighting, but OLEDs ...
