Hmm "nettops"... I wasn't aware of those. I need to do more research. Thanks for the info! Well, computer component makers are generally moving toward using less watts and energy(I don't know if this actually works, the "use less energy" direction...). So, if makers actually do succeed in...

Hmm if many of the things in a desktop are integrated, and the rest of the components that can't be integrated is shrunk into a smaller size, could we see the netbook, laptops, and desktops all just blend into one category of "PCs"? Though it sounds somewhat ridiculous to me... however...

I was reading up on Intel's Jasper Forest recently, and I had a thought. More of a question actually. If computer hardware makers(especially Intel right now) keeps integrating parts of the motherboard into the CPU, is there a possibility that we may see the disappearance of motherboards in...

From what I've read, Intel said that they're going to have "one less bridge" on the motherboard, saving power and energy. So that might actually be true. However, I don't actually know which is going to disappear: the northbridge, southbridge, or both... ANyone else know?

I was reading up on Intel's latest news on its newest server CPU, and it was called Jasper Forest. I'm confused about one thing though. Intel said that they've directly integrated the I/O hub into the CPU itself. What does this exactly mean?

I was talking another forum, and a TV station in Great Britain (Sky TV) is preparing to release 3DTV to consumers soon. I don't exactly know what they broadcast, but I'm guessing it's one of the larger broadcasting stations in GB. So it might be big in parts of the world, but I don't think...

I saw a few articles on NVidia's 3D Glasses and honestly... I don't see the point of them. Maybe they're trying to bring 3D to a normal home, but for now, I really don't see the point of having 3D Glasses w/ special LCD lenses. I mean, they may make games(once there're enough of them)...

Wow, I post a blog post I made, and I already get tons of people bashing me for marketing when all I want is some constructive criticism... No, I'm not an NVidia fanboy, this is just a post on it... I want to get a "general" feel of what a netbook can do, because I honestly don't know how...

ok... if it's just a copy/paste marketing thing, why am I responding right now... It sounds good for people who blindingly say "SLI is awesome" when they heard the word SLI, but it won't do much seeing as you can't really do much on a netbook in terms of gaming or video editing... Might...

Hey everyone! First time posting here. I'm Icarus, I blog about computers mainly to help new comers. I love talking about them, and I saw this forum, so I decided to join in on the fun! I also wanted to get some constructive criticism about what I write, so here's the one from today...
