Last April, Ubuntu.com has announced the release the latest version of the Ubuntu Linux distro aptly name “Hardy Heron”. Here’s the lowdown of the new release:
New Features:
- Firefox 3 is the new default internet browser
- New Gnome Desktop system (Gnome 2.22)
- New Default CD/DVD burner sofware (Brasero)
- Transmission, a newly popular BitTorrent client. This replaces the old standard BitTorrent utility
- As a new security feature Hardy Heron now has PolicyKit which allows fine-grained access control, and helps you allow or deny users access to specific parts of applications. This allows for a system to be locked down completely except to a group of trusted users.

It’s a brand new year and I will start my first post for the year 2008 by looking back on the top gadgets of 2007.
Apple iPod Touch and iPod Nano
Cashing on a runaway success of the iPhone, Steve Jobs and his minions stripped that device of its phone functions to produce the iPod Touch. User can now flip through their music with the touch of a finger, watch videos and browse the Net
on its expansive display with innovative multi-touch interface.
Then there’s the newly redesigned iPod Nano with video., which brings video-playing portability to a new levels of affordability. All of which begs the question: What will Apple think of next?
Since its announcement last June 2007, this notebook has created a lot of buzz specially on some of my IT colleagues and friends. I did a further research on reviews from notable review sites like Notebook Review, CNET.com and
from my online friend/blogger Jehzeel Laurente.
Heres the products specs:
*Display: 7″
*Processor: Intel mobile CPU (Intel 910 chipset, 900MHz Dothan Pentium M)
*Memory: 512MB RAM
*OS: Xandros Linux (Asus customized flavor)
*Storage: 8GB or 16GB flash hard drive
*Webcam: 300K pixel video camera
*Battery life: 3 hours using 4-cell battery
*Weight: 2lbs
*Dimensions: 8.9 in x 6.5 in x 0.82 in - 1.37 in (width x depth x thickness)
*Ports: 3 USB ports, 1 VGA out, SD card reader, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in.
Product Summary:
The good: Small, light, and inexpensive; solid-state hard drive is fast and efficient; well-thought-out preinstalled software package.
The bad: Cramped keyboard; very little hard drive space; low screen resolution.
The bottom line: the Asus Eee PC offers an impressive package for portable Web surfing and basic productivity, as long as you keep expectations tempered. The incredibly approachable price outweighs any shortcomings; it’s a near perfect choice for a highly portable second or backup laptop.

The XPS M1730 was a monster both in gaming performance and size, while the XPS M1330 was one of the more portable 13.3-inchers in the market. So what happens if one wants a powerful machine but yet is unwilling to dislocate a shoulder while moving it? Well, the new XPS M1530 may be the answer. Though its footprint is slightly larger than the iconic MacBook Pro, it is almost as slim and light as its Apple rival. The design is also a departure from the US maker’s previous offerings and exudes class while presenting a clean look.
Barring a few quirks, the M1530 offers almost all the common features expected of midsized portables and has one of the most powerful graphics performances in its class.
