At CES 2011, I was able to get a glimpse of the future of tablets, netbooks, and laptops.  And that?  Is probably like the Atrix 4G smartphone which allows you to dock your Android smartphone on an LCD/keyboard combo.

No, but we are not there yet.  Even as fast as Tegra 2 processors are, I think it will be another 1-2 years before it can be considered practical.   It’s grea

Guys over at Windows 7 Forums just alerted me on their new article on how to speed up your Windows 7, read it to speed up your Windows 7!  Most of it are basics but then, basics are everything so…

Btw, you should really be using 64-bit Windows 7, I think it’s just better unless you are on a limited netbook.

What I learned from the article, SSDs can make your Win 7 run faster:

It’s called the Philco PC and is the dream of designer Dave Schiltze, of course Apple fans will probably say that this is based on one their designs, and one thing is for sure desk top PC’s could become the in thing to have.

HD DIY – How to Render 1080P HD Videos!

Posted on November 15, 2009 by max

With my recent purchase of the new Canon 7D, I have been rendering HD videos for days on my old XP computer.  Well, it turns out rendering is completely useless for HD movies longer than like 10 minutes.

If your computer freezes while rendering using programs like Sony Vegas Pro or Adobe Premier, it’s probably your computer hardware.

Plus, Windows XP only supports upto 4GB of memory (and for some AMD processors even less).  Even with a 4GB
