CTRL + T = No new tabs for me...

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 13:56:10 +0100

I love opening new tabs when surfing the interwebs. The invention of tabbed browsing has to be up there with the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel. My own "discovery" of the CTRL + T keyboard shortcut was a landmark development -...

Eee PC 900s can now be bought for well under £300

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:46:57 +0100

The Eee PC 900 is now better value for money in the UK than it was when I bought mine little nearly two months ago. Seeing as it had only just come out then, am I annoyed? You betcha! Everyone expects prices of computers to continuously drop, b...

Eee PC 901 out June 3rd, priced at £325, where?

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Fri, 16 May 2008 12:26:25 +0100

According to DigiTimes the latest Eee PC, the 901, will be coming out on the 3rd of June. It'll be priced at $650 (£325) or below - but where? I seriously doubt it'll be that price in the UK. With the added features/benefits (including Atom pro...

ASUS making a serious Eee-push in the UK market?

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:57:48 +0100

Looks like ASUS have been putting some of the money they've been making with their uber-successful Eee PC into their UK web presence. Check out: EASY TO LEARN . EASY TO WORK . EASY TO PLAY . EASY TO WIN Yes, that's right, easy-to-win! But no mo...

Comparing the size of one's dongles...

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:33:51 +0100

Here's two dongles, USB dongles to be a bit more precise. These dongles are primarily designed for laptops but can be used on desktops too. The dongle on top is for digital TV, the dongle down below is for mobile broadband. Because of the size ...

HP's Mini-Note "Eee killer" and what I said last night, I had no idea! Really.

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:31:15 +0100

Check out this earlier post, one that I made last night: HP as well. So they dont just make printers! I joked about the reasons for why the folks at HP (and previous to that, Dell) were visiting my blog. Maybe they're gonna launch a rival to the...

Day 7 without a laptop...

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:41:03 +0000

I've been laptop-less (sounds like some crazy beach somewhere, but I digress...) for a week now. Seeing as my first and only laptop was the ASUS Eee PC and that I've only had it since early December it's strange how I've become so attached to it...

Eee's WiFi connection problem. Problem no more...

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:46:26 +0000

Last night I stumbled upon the solution to a problem that's been plaguing many Eee PC users of late... The problem? When setting up WiFi the Eee complains about the format that the key is in (the hex/ASCII issue!) The solution? Ignore the Eee'...

Random thoughts on Eee. Eee's are good? Eee's are good!

nobody@vox.com(Ant UK) — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 15:52:31 +0000

I like my Eee. It's got its quirks (both good and bad) but on the whole I'm happy with it. Still, whether you like this laptop or not is wholly based on what you want it for and where you're going to use it. Just because I like it doesn't mean y...
