I previously mentioned the super, pre-holiday deal on the Panasonic high-definition camcorder, but a deal is only good if the product works well. So this afternoon, I got some playtime with the HDC-SD10 and recorded a short video of my office area. My workspace is quite the mess and I wasn’t even planning to share [...]

Mobile Tech Minutes: Acer Aspire 8940G Gaming Notebook
Say what you will about the Acer Aspire 8940G, it is one giant notebook. The 18.4-inch screen on this evaluation unit is as big as some external monitors on desktop systems, and the great audio / video components onboard make it a good multimedia laptop. In the video I show this big laptop, giving a [...]
First Look at Google Chrome OS — Extensions, Options and More
Although I promised myself I wasn’t going to spend time running Google’s Chrome OS right now, I got the bug.

A new version of Parallels Desktop, version 5, was released yesterday and among many new features offers better Snow Leopard and Windows 7 support. One of the new features of Parallels Desktop for Mac v.5 is the [...]
Mobile Tech Minutes — Hands on with Moblin v2.1
I’ve been playing a little with the latest Moblin release this afternoon and I’m actually thinking of trying to run it full-time on a netbook. There’s a few holes yet, but it does offers me much of what I’m looking for in a smartbook — a lightweight operating system and good browsing experience. My wireless [...]
