Consumer Electronics and MacWorld.

We get excited about the big Trade Shows going on. We discuss the fate of the shows and also some of the products released. We talk alot about new laptops and netbooks and practical uses. And of course, the usual headphone debate: does more money make for a noticeable better experience? New OLED technology sounds cool. iTunes gets rid of DRM! (trust us: this is big!)

Resolutions

We list off the New Years Resolutions that we think you should do for your computer’s sake. These include: Backup your data – to a different drive, and don’t forget to backup the data on your phone and camera (by syncing). Save all the time! Also, updates are recommended. Memory upgrades! Go to crucial.com. Go LCD if you haven’t already. Choose Firefox. Don’t click on pop-ups! Stop forwarding chain mail!
