PadGadget was able to get a sneak peak on the games you might be playing on the iPad once it comes out on April 3. They were able to do some digging in the iTunes web interface, and lo and behold, they saw that Apple accidentally leaked the iPad titles along with the regular iPod touch and iPhone games.

One of the things I absolutely loved about using Jolicloud on my Asus Eee PC is the App Launcher. On the latest version of Jolicloud, the app launcher runs on Google Chrome, thus eliminating the need for Mozilla Prism.

I originally scoffed at Google Chrome OS when it first came out. Well, there was plenty to scoff at then, actually. I didn’t like the fact that it was just a browser and nothing else. Yeah, I know Chrome OS is made as a cloud operating system, but back then, it felt too… bare. It was just a browser, and nothing more. Read more…

I think it might be time to say goodbye to the Eee Keyboard.

Okay, the Eee Keyboard hasn’t even been launched yet, but we all know that it’s already woefully outdated by netbook/nettop standards. Heck, Asus’s own nettops beat the Eee Keyboard by sheer computing power a long time ago. Strangely, even though the all-in-one keyboard PC has been outdated since, I don’t know, the 80′s, but we’re enamored by the prospect of this form factor. I don’t understand why either. Read more…

On our Windows laptops, we use an army of different software just to protect ourselves from all the different kinds of malware just hanging around the net, waiting for an opening to attack our system. Don’t give me the excuse that antivirus software is expensive, there are a lot of fully-functional antiviruses out there that are pretty good. But even though we have our system running fully-protected, there’s a good chance that one or two viruses might be able to slip in. I usually don’t worry that much, a simple scan with Malwarebytes usually does the job. But what if malware has overrun your computer so much that it’s practically unusable?

If your plethora of antimalware apps doesn’t work, along with *gasp* safe mode, then you might want to try a different approach – Linux. From gHacks, here’s a way to scan your hard drive for viruses using a Linux installation. gHacks recommends that you remove the infected drive and connect it via USB to the Linux machine. Then you can scan the drive via Linux as an external drive. The, install F-Prot on Linux. Scan away. Read more…

I’m really, really meticulous with my laptop, but sometimes, the fact that I have to lug around a huge padded backpack containing my laptop, the power brick, and a few accessories like the mouse can be a hassle. What if I just wanted to bring my laptop with me to the nearest coffee shop? I don’t want to have a huge bag cluttering the already-cramped cafe when I’m going to be staying there for a few hours. However, I don’t want to walk around carrying my laptop only. Heh, I don’t want to be an easy target for muggers.

So imagine my surprise when I saw Conceptual Devices offering a few things you can do with a hoodie, among them was to use it to make an improvised laptop bag. You can find more tips, including using your hoodie as a baby sling, and another tip on how to make a backpack, actually. Read more…
