September 15th, 2009 | No Comments

Dell’s newest entry into the thin and light category–the Dell E4300–doesn’t surpass its rivals in any way. Taken as a whole, the Intel Core 2 Duo-based E4300 is a decent system for mid-range users, but it doesn’t set any new standards for its class.

The American government argues that these tyres are being imported into America from China in “such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause market disruption to domestic producers” of competing tyres. …

Is it finally time for the company to admit that its operating system is as susceptible to security issues as Windows? Apple would be doing a good service to Mac users if it started advising its customers to pay closer attention to security before hackers have a chance to prove just how vulnerable Mac OS X can be.
– Mac OS X is considered by some to be an extremely secure operating system. Those people claim that thanks to its many security features, users will be kept much safer using Apple’s software, rather than risk it with Microsoft’s Windows operating system. They claim that proof of that can be found in …
