Week 1 I should have taken pictures – unboxing a new laptop is a lot of fun. My first step was to make sure the laptop booted. Next up, let’s see how the details of migration (web, mail, address book, etc. But here’s Ubuntu week 1, not edited or smoothed out. I’ll understand points of pain, for sure.

But what I realized was that the whole WPA thing with my laptop added to the pile of “little problems I haven’t solved yet.&# I knew that I should do it at some point, but I hadn’t encountered a WPA network until last week, so I hadn’t bothered.

I had her laptop open, and I saw a "Ford_F350" network come, and go. Anyway, as the bus rolls by, I see "PVTA_0333" come up on the MacStumbler, then leave! Yeah, really, really!

The only time I shut down this laptop is when I’m taking it somewhere, which is relatively rarely. I’m relatively happy, and, surprisingly enough, I don’t miss using the mac everyday.

At some point, when I’ve saved up enough pennies, I’m going to buy a Mac laptop again. And, of course, there are some other situations where Linux also shines: kiosks, internet cafes, computer labs and email/web workstations. And, guess what? I’m giving up. And, of course, always, for developers.

Skeptics doubted the iPod in 2001 , but it went on to help revolutionize how people consume music and audio content. The device's hardware includes components not currently found in a traditional desktop computer or laptop. It's promised battery life is ten hours -- longer than any laptop to date.

No Internet of Things (IoT) or big data. There are now lots of laptops available that are less than $200 — like HP Streams, Acer Aspires, and too many Chrome books to count.

I set up both on my laptop, and tried out some really simple app development. Symfony November 6, 2008 In my new explorations of PHP web application development, it seemed a good idea to get a look at both CakePHP and Symfony.
