HP's 2133 Mini-Note PC: Three Pounds Of Portable Computing PowerHP 2133 Mini-Note PC by Daniel P. Dern Unveiled in April 2008, HP's new 2133 Mini-Note PC "ultraportable" notebook computer represents the company's latest effort to provide enough computer power to get many common tasks, e.g. Web stuff and email (which many people do as a Web task, anyway), done in a small -- three pounds, give or take a few ounces depending on which battery you use and what's affordable -- base prices of $499 to $749 -- package.
by Daniel Spisak When one goes to a conference targeted at computer security professionals it stands to reason that one will hear a lot of keynote speeches about trends within the security industry and where it thinks it is going. At this years 2008 RSA Conference this trend held true with two notable exceptions. First was Al Gore's keynote on global warming and technology, which the press covering the show was banned from attending. The second was a far more interesting keynote given that had wide ranging implications and very little to do directly with computer security. Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm and Handspring and now founder & CEO of his newest company Numenta, gave that keynote. Image: Digitizing Neocortex E.Lilley
Don't throw away that legacy PS/2 mouse and keyboard just yet. If you like the way they feel and operate better than their newer counterparts, then maybe the Belkin USB to PS/2 Adapter is perfect for you. It lets you link two PS/2 devices, such as a keyboard and mouse, to a single USB port on your computer. You can easily connect a full-size PS/2 keyboard and mouse to your notebook or desktop computer and a very handy feature is its ability to use two devices simultaneously. You can even plug and unplug devices without rebooting.
Are you tired of dragging around a big industrial-grade surge protector and a rat's nest of tangled adapters for your cell phone, MP3 player, etc.? If you are, Belkin may have the answer for you. Their Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger, # BZ103050-TVL, provides protection and power in a small package, allowing you to plug in up to 3 devices with grounded power plugs, as well as 2 devices that charge via a USB port, all simultaneously. As Belkin is careful to point out, the USB outlets can't be used as a USB hub and don't transmit data, but they will power up your music or communications device if it recharges from a USB outlet.
