News: Desktop CPUs Invade Notebooks
Gateway recently launched its 400 series of notebooks, which features 2-GHz Intel Pentium 4 desktop processors. Gateway is just the latest computer maker to use desktop processors in its notebooks. For instance, Dell Computer recently updated its SmartStep portables with desktop Pentium 4 chips. The Gateway 400 models range from $1499 to $1799, depending on configuration.
Tip: Looking for a Hot Spot?
Wi-Fi networking nodes, or hot spots, are proliferating around the globe. But how do you find them? One useful resource is 80211hotspots.com, which lets you browse among 1400 Wi-Fi nodes in the United States and Canada. You can search by city, state, or country but not, unfortunately, by Zip code.
Tip: Try Airline Food Before You Fly
On long flights, you get a choice: Keep working on your notebook, or put it away and yield the seatback tray to an airline meal. But given the quality (and I use the term loosely) of in-flight food, is the trade-off worth it for airborne workaholics?
Before you fly, get a peek at what's cookin' at AirlineMeals.net. Billing itself as "the world's first site dedicated to nothing but airline food," this endlessly entertaining site is full of pictures taken by passengers of the meals they've been expected to consume. The images are grouped by airline and rated, in the spirit of Zagat's. You might be surprised: Many of the meals look almost appetizing.
