Netbooks – do people still use them? I guess the answer would be “Yes”, although a resounding one it is not. The Acer TravelMate B113 is the latest netbook from the Taiwanese computer manufacturing company, where it will come along with an 11.6″ display alongside an Intel Celeron B877 processor – definitely not the fastest chip on the block by far, but it offers decent levels of performance for its product category. This particular netbook is also said to be a wee bit heavier compared to your regular netbook, but it will lack a DVD drive which some of us find essential. Unfortunately, you can strike the TravelMate B113 out of the Ultrabook list, as it fails to make the grade in terms of thickness.
Basically, some folks think that the Acer TravelMate B113 is a device that is in no man’s land. It is no Ultrabook, has less battery life than a regular netbook, and lacks an optical disc drive that notebooks come with. I guess it will be an extremely niche market for someone to fork out around $700 (max) for this puppy, where it will feature 4GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, Wi-Fi and USB 3.0 connectivity, and HDMI support. You can opt for the more souped up versions of that feature a 1.3GHz Pentium B967 or a Core i3-2377M that runs at 1.5GHz.

Let’s face it, Apple’s brand of computers cost more than what you would pay for a Windows version with the same specs, but yet there are people out there who would rather own an Apple product. Perhaps its the ease of use of OS X, or maybe it’s the build quality, or maybe some just prefer the Apple brand, but regardless the reason, there is most certainly a market for Apple’s products. That being said, do Apple users spend more PC users?
The fact that crime doesn’t sleep means that police officers will have to be on the lookout all the time. Unfortunately in between apprehending the bad guys and keeping the peace, these good officers have to return to the station to file reports and whatnot. In an effort to keep the officers on the streets longer, the San Francisco Police Department will be introducing some mobile technology to its patrolling officers, thanks to a partnership spearheaded by Mayor Ed Lee.

HP is now offering a one-year Limited Warranty Service Enhancement Program (LWSEP) for owners of the HP Pavilion P66xx, S56xx, and HPE-4xx Desktop Models that were bought in the United States and Canada. HP reportedly emailed owners today saying that the desktops have system boards with a slightly higher-than-expected failure rate and that these computers might experience no video at start up and might even stop responding. However, the company isn’t recalling the models. HP will only add 12 more months of warranty, which means that desktop owners of the aforementioned models, who have expired warranties, will be getting a new one-year warranty to report problems and to cover the repairs needed. HP will repair the system by replacing the motherboard free of charge. HP will also reportedly pay for the round-trip shipping of the device. Symptoms of the problem, according to HP, will include computers turning on with no video and beeps, computers usually lock up at the POST screen, and computers constantly rebooting.
