Monday, 08 January 2007

Known for killing the first electric car of the modern era, the EV-1, GM has done an about face and is showing off the Chevrolet Volt at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Hooray! But one caveat - it's still a hybrid, and it's not available until 'the end of the decade'.

 
New Seamless S-XGen UMPC is not a UMPC at all, but a major disappointment
Sunday, 07 January 2007

Perhaps they wanted us to this of it as the sexy gen… but really, although the S-XGen aims to bring a mobile version of Windows to users in an ultra mobile PC format, while still having access to a full keyboard, letting you type and do ‘real work’, it’s not a Windows XP or Vista powered UMPC, but a device that runs on the much more basic Windows Mobile CE 5.0.

Hitachi 1TB drive brings back the memories
Saturday, 06 January 2007
We now know both Seagate and Hitachi plan to bring 1TB drives to market in the first half of 2006, and whichever one actually manages to do it first now that the challenge is out, this 50 year milestone is one that brings back the memories of the fist gigabyte hard drive after years of living in a world of megabytes.

Hey Microsoft – where’s my free Vista laptop?
Wednesday, 03 January 2007
By now we all know that Microsoft sent out 90 free laptops loaded with Vista to mostly tech bloggers, although a parenting blog received one, too. But what’s interesting is that the mainstream media seemed to miss out – only bloggers and not journalists who’ve been covering technology for years.

 
AACS encryption from high-def HD DVD and Blu-ray cracked?
Wednesday, 03 January 2007
A hacker called Muslix64 has claimed to have cracked the AACS encoding scheme used with next-gen high-def DVDs. This has happened at almost the same time that music companies are starting to release more commercial tracks as mp3s, instead of music locked down with a form of DRM.
