Ubuntu for Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| I did a fair amount of research this month on netbooks, and ended up choosing
| the Toshiba NB200 (or NB205 as it is in the US) as what I thought was the
| best option currently. I read quite a few reviews online, and paid attention
| to the reviews comparing among netbooks the real world issues that aren’t
| often covered by comparing specs. Each computer maker seems to have a netbook
| now trying to corner the market, and they’re almost all the same hardware it
| seems. But good notebook review sites measure practical concerns like screen
| brightness outdoors, contrast, heat, fan noise, keyboard feel, and actual
| battery life.

Moblin 2.0 Beta Impressions
,----[ Quote ]
| * Boot is insanely quick. BIOS appears to take longer to come up.
| * Alpha software, not Beta. Crashes a lot. Functionality doesn't
| consistently work.
| * Reworked UI hints at amazing amount of promise. So many interesting new
| possibilities. So many of which are yet unrealized.

Researcher: Chrome to boost Atom to ARM switch in netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| LONDON — Technology changes, including the introudction of the Chrome
| OS, will undermine Atom's grip on the netbook market during a
| recessionary time when people don't want, and can't afford, a second
| laptop just to carry around say market researchers, The Information Network.
|
| While Intel's Atom holds more than an 80 percent share of the
| 23.5-million netbooks sold in 2009 the ARM processor will to gain a 55
| percent market share of the 96.0 million netbooks sold in 2012,
| according to researchers.
|
| "We see two technology factors converging with the poor macroeconomic
| situation that will create a market for ARM - the release of the
| Cortex-9 microarchitecture and the emergence of cloud computing," said
| Dr. Robert Castellano, president of The Information Network (New
| Tripoli, PA). "Chrome OS is the first operating system built with cloud
| computing in mind."
