Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b

ASUS N10J - A Big DUH for me, and a small one too!
Blog The smaller DUH, also for me, is that it is not necessary to make changes in the BIOS setup in order to book USB sticks and/or USB CD/DVD drives. In my recent blog post about the ASUS N10J, I mentioned that with the nVidia graphics enabled, Ubuntu...

O2's Joggler: the digital fridge door
Blog You can use it as a digital photo frame storing photos on its 1GB of memory or using a USB key drive. It’ll play music and videos stored in its memory or streamed from a PC or USB key. But I’m finding it a bit difficult to get a warm glow going.

Windows 7 on a Read-only Flash Drive?
Blog Considering that the price of a 4GB USB flash drive has been as low as 5 dollars on close-out specials, financially it wouldn't make sense UNLESS Microsoft decides to go into the Flash RAM business. It has some software on it that makes Windows XP...
