Computer users of the future could use gestures or even their minds to control their machines.

Apple is updating its line of laptop computers with a nod to the economic turmoil that might push consumers to be more frugal this holiday shopping season. The company avoided a major price cut but did lower the cost of the MacBook.

Apple is expected to unveil new notebook computers, perhaps even one priced for those with tight budgets, at a “town hall” gathering at its northern California headquarters next week. In typical enigmatic style, Apple hinted at the theme of the invita…

Hackers claim they have broken into the computer system of the Large Hadron Collider, the mega-machine designed to expose secrets of the cosmos, British newspapers reported on Saturday. AFP

Sony announced its recall of over 44,000 Sony Vaio laptops. The cause of this major recall is a wiring problem that could possibly cause your laptop to overheat. The recall pertains to 19 different Vaio models in the Vaio TZ series produced from May 2007 till now.

Sony attributes these flaw to wiring placement that causes certain wires to wear quickly which can short the circuit. Also there is a circuit boar problem that could cause it to overheat as well. There have been over 200 reports of overheating that Sony currently knows about and 7 of them included minor burns to consumers! This recall comes 2 years after Sony had to make a battery recall because they also overheated and some even burst into flames!!!

Is it still a topic? I still find people talking about it at the local coffee shop. With the death blow to Windows XP, many people have found it difficult to deal with the loss of their favorite OS. It took some time to understand, but the loss of Xp is comparable to the loss of a loved one. Here are the steps we are going through.

Denial and Isolation

Yes, consumer demand was helpful in extending the life of XP. In the end, there is nothing that we could do for XP. XP was allowed service pack after service pack, people even modded XP to allow for directx10. Now we have to deal with the fact that Xp is no longer with us. My isolation phase was with Suse and Ubuntu Linux, both great experiences, but I had to move past that.

Anger

I blogged. Everyone blogged. The drivers didn't work so we were supposed to smash our scanners, printers, and our digital cameras. Microsoft told us to just wait because maybe, drivers would come out for our hardware. MAYBE DRIVERS WILL BE DEVELOPED!! This was unacceptable. We were all very angry, and that phase took a while to get through.

Bargaining

We all asked in whiny voices "Can I get XP on my Dell XPS." "How about I just use my old Xp and you just sell me a computer that is completely blank." The distributors also whined to Microsoft, and there was some leeway. But even with all of the idea storms, something has to give. It was inevitable that sooner or later, we would have to ?upgrade? :(

Depression

We cried and cried. We remembered the old logos. The old loading screens. We remember the slack security features that are replaced by the paranoid messages of Vista. We remember 1 XP, not XP "Ultimate", not XP "basic", not XP "low-fat double loading time add whip with a Sidebar". There is nothing we could do but cry.

Acceptance

We find solace in the fact that the death of XP was dignified. So many people tried to keep it alive. Yet, in the end, nothing will be done to quell the disappearance of XP from our lives. XP will live forever in our hearts. I know you are in a better place now XP.
