HP & Dell Joining UMPC Market

It looks as though the Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) market is going to start expanding rather rapidly. Earlier today jkOnTheRun noticed that HP started selling the HP Mini-Note UMPC at an actually affordable price ranging from $499 to $849. What really differentiates this from the Asus Eee PC is that you can get a normal SATA hard drive up to 160GB in size as opposed to just Solid State Drives.

eBay Strike Drops Number of Listings by 3%

A proposed boycott on eBay listings went into effect on Monday, and since then the number of listings on the site dropped from around 14.5 million down to 14 million. That comes out to a 3% drop overall, which isn't quite as high as the strikers would have liked to see.

Real Desktop… Remember BumpTop?

Do you remember back in 2006 when a 3D desktop called BumpTop was buzzing around the Internet? A prototype was supposed to be available "soon," and the middle of last year we were awestruck once again when BumpTop was demonstrated at the TED Conference. Here we are a year and a half later and we're still not able to download it.

Jungle Disk: Online Backups Using Amazon S3

I get asked all of the time what I believe is the best backup service, and the answer typically varies depending on the needs of the person. Some people need a lot of storage but not a lot of bandwidth, or visa versa. When you're considering what backup service to use I recommend checking out Jungle Disk, which in a way offers the best of all worlds.

eBay Lowers Listing Fees, Raises Final Value Fee

eBay has angered a lot of sellers over the years because they are frequently jacking up the cost of their fees to list the items. They are trying to make amends with all of the sellers by lowering fees across the board, which will become effective on February 20th, 2008. Well, maybe not all the way across the board.

Quick Deal: NOD32 for $20 from Newegg

We've previously written about the relatively good deal that Newegg offers on ESET security software, but it just got a little bit better. Until Monday, December 17th you can get the standalone antivirus software for $20 out-the-door. A 1-year subscription typically runs $40 straight from ESET for NOD32, so you're getting 50% off plus a physical CD rather than just a download link.

Microsoft is not going to stand on the sidelines when it comes to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. They have given 40 engineers the daunting task of getting Windows XP running on the OLPC (a.k.a. XO project), which is equipped with a 433MHz processor, 256MB or RAM, and a 1GB flash drive.

Vista OEM BIOS Cracks Won’t Work in SP1

When it comes to Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) Microsoft is doing two things that almost counteract each other. First off Microsoft is easing up on the "Reduced Functionality Mode" for those users who don't pass the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) test. As of right now if you don't pass WGA Vista will disable premium features such as Aero Glass, ReadyBoost, games, and BitLocker.

Calculate eBay Fees

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes a slew of great deals. I'm sure the thought will cross your mind whether you can pick up any items from the store, and resell on eBay to make a profit. If you do decide to go that route you definitely want to take into consideration all of the fees that both eBay and PayPal will collect when selling something, which is more than you may think.
