We worry a lot about Moore’s Law running out of gas right about now. Now comes former AMD CEO Hector Ruiz with this piece on Harvard Business Review’s blog: “There, however, is a possible “off-ramp” to Moore’s Law that offers [...]
LOS ANGELES–So often, we get ahead of ourselves a consuming public, especially when it comes to technology innovation. Take power generation and smart-grid management. We know that electronics that drive enormous efficiency gains on the grid. After all, our smart [...]
By Malcolm Fuller, contributing writer SANTA CLARA, Calif. – You wake up in your chilly San Francisco apartment (or any chilly place for that matter), and your first instinct is not to crank up the thermostat several notches (too expensive!). [...]
By Brian Fuller We’ve written all lot about the quickening pace of innovation in automotive electronics design. And you’ll recall the centerpiece of the first part of the Drive for Innovation was an all-electric Chevy Volt, which took us around [...]

I am very happy I found it on Amazon. It just what my daughter ndeeed. Instead of buying expensive laptop for her school homework, now she can use it for her projects, exchanging e-mails and messages with friends etc. For the price, it is better than one could expect. Screen works smoothly, very nice built-in speakers, WiFi speed is good. I wish only the battery could last longer, so that she could charge it once or twice a week and not once a day like right now. Not that we ndeeed the Google Market a lot, but it allowed me to register using my Google account and find many fun apps.
