Wow, it's almost like time is going backwards.
details
It's 2013 and now Logitech has finally unveiled the ultimate in modern technology... a wired keyboard for the iPad.
I understand these are targeted at schools, a setting in which pairing and keeping charged a Bluetooth keyboard for each device would be a nightmare... but if your students need a reliable computing device with a keyboard to type, wouldn't it be much more cost effective for a school to purchase cheap Chromebooks instead of iPads? According to this Apple Education price list -... Read more →

Chromebook - stand alone laptop or nice way to stay connected on the road?
details
Having recently purchased my first Chromebook (Acer C7), I've been fielding the same question over and over again. Is it a stand alone laptop for $200 or a tablet with a keyboard attached? So I decided to bring that question to the gdgt community in hopes that some of you Chromebook owners will step-up and share how they use the device.
  • Will your Chromebook become your primary laptop?
  • What are some must-have apps new Chromebook owners need to have?
  • Any notable short-comings with your device?
I've... Read more →

Is it time to consider buying a Chromebook?
details
http://media.gdgt.com/img/products/474/a67z/a67z-460.jpg
When the first Chromebooks came out, they were overpriced, and ran an early version of Google's Chrome OS that was almost useless without an internet connection. However, Chrome has improved dramatically, and now allows offline access to locally stored documents and media files. More significantly, hardware prices have dropped dramatically. Samsung's recently released Chromebook sells for just $249, includes USB 3.0 and HDMI ports, and... Read more →

My Chrome book did not wake up when I opened the lid this morning
details
I had to do a hard reset for it to start. Then it complained about my password, which has not changed. My google tv gave me problems last night too, but other devices seem fine.
It was asking for my old passwords which I could not guess, or the google did not accept. Eventually it let me in by clicking on a button below the old pw, I can't remember what it said.
At that point, it rebuilt Chrome, installing all my add ins. Hopefully it is a one time thing, but you're locked out with no one to...

The last gasp of laptop Linux?
details
Remember the old days, when Linux was a nightmare to run on a laptop because half the hardware would not be supported and you would spend days in vain trying to make it work? While those times seemed like a thing of the past for a few years, my recent experience installing Linux on some laptops made me feel as if I had been time warped back to the Linux Dark Ages.
It all started when I had to give my trusted Lenovo T61 to a student whose laptop had been damaged in a recent fire on campus. I had... Read more →
