Now, thanks to the kind folks over at ThinkGeek, you can finally fill that Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device sized hold in your life with dozens of game inspired goodies.

Remember this quote? quot;Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.quot; It was uttered by none other than Microsoft frontman Steve Ballmer himself, in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times in 2001. It's no secret that Microsoft has put itself right in the center of the proprietary versus open-source war. But the software giant is now starting to dabble in the dark side of open-source projects itself. We're getting nothing but mixed-signals from Redmond. So what is it, Microsoft? Cancer, or cash-cow?

Cancer
Up on PressPass, Microsoft is touting how it thinks companies should deal with the increasing financial burdens put into place by the weakening economy: buy Microsoft software. That's the gist, here's the nuts. Microsoft suggests that open-source software comes with too many hidden costs and fees, and the support simply isn't where enterprise businesses need to be in order to ensure consistent uptime,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-classic-box-shoulder-bag-pyhton-in-red-p-31.html red celine classic box bag]. Microsoft makes a compelling case by using Speedy Hire, a British company, as its prime example. According to the company, it was able to save nearly 1.5 million by turning away from Linux-based PCs and OpenOffice to Microsoft servers and software. Eat it, OSS.
Cash-Cow
Enter Oxite. Microsoft just released this huge, open-source CMS platform the other day. It can power anything from blogs to Web sites, and can even support multiple users accessing the interface (for running a Gawker of your very own). Wordpress is undoubtedly eyeing this new product quite closely--especially given the new platform's interoperability. The highly-customizable Oxite makes it easy for you to swap out proprietary Microsoft technologies, like Live Search and SQL server,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/discount-celine-long-wallet-brown-black-colorblock-clutch-p-45.html celine colorblock clutch], for others you see fit to use,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-luggage-collection-bag-white-black-sale-at-discount-price-p-79.html celine luggage collection].
Cancer
The next battle lines for Microsoft? Robots. That's right,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-zip-clutch-around-wallet-python-black-p-39.html celine clutch python]. Robots. The company has been working on developing the backbone tools for the next generation of robotics, but it isn't alone! The open-source movement is beginning to make progress in this field as well. Expect to see an eventual showdown in the field (if only it could be decided in a BattleBots-type arena), although there's a silver lining to Microsoft's involvement: quot;the software giant is also generating a 'huge amount of excitement' for robotics, which is a good thing for the industry, which needs more software development to catch up with the hardware,quot; notes the article.
Cash-Cow
In the past many months, Microsoft has acquired companies that provide open-source code for larger technological platforms. It's even contributed its own code to ongoing open-source projects, presuming that the open-source movement now has the ability to Microsoft's underlying business objectives. Sound crazy? It's completely understandable to think that, and even internal Microsoft folk agree. It's going to take a bit more cajoling before Microsoft's business units, as a whole, are ready to embrace what OSS has to offer.
Winner?
Neither. That's right. Just as Microsoft begins to slowly adopt the tenets of open-source architecture, it's going to fight tooth and nail against any open-source project that threatens its financial livelihood. It's a prudent business move, one that's analogous to dipping a toe into a hot bathtub to check the temperature. If the open-source community can help Microsoft's business goals in some fashion--as the company is starting to recognize--then you'll see a bit of a cultural shift. And that's what's happening in Redmond right now. Microsoft isn't shifting to open-source,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-luggage-bag-deals-denim-leather-p-71.html celine lugggage bag deals]; it's finding ways it can use open-source to further propagate its business models. And in the places it can't, the company is doing whatever it can to preserve its own ambitions, open-source or otherwise,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/brown-celine-classic-crossbody-box-bag-brown-p-27.html brown celine crossbody bag]!

Top 10 best tablet PC iPad alternatives
Apple hasn't just rekindled interest in tablet devices, it has created the kind of hysteria that only Apple can.
There's no denying that the iPad is a beautifully crafted device that's a joy to use, but not everyone wants to buy into Apple's design and marketing hype.
With that in mind, we've rounded up ten alternatives to the iPad and put them in descending order to prove that Apples are not the only fruit.
Best Android phone - which should you buy?
There's one key way in which Android is massively different from its Apple-branded smartphone competition - the number of phones out there running Google's hot mobile OS.
Samsung makes loads of them. Sony Ericsson makes a few. Then you've got Android-powered phones from Acer, LG, Huawei and many others, while HTC releases more in a month than all the rest added together manage in a year,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/hermes-birkin-bag-40cm-dark-brown-online-sale-p-137.html Hermes Birkin Bag 40CM Dark Brown].
The many variations in screen size, processor power, software features and design makes finding the best Android phone for you extremely tough.
Do you physically and emotionally need a QWERTY keyboard? Are you the sort of oddball who prefers the rough pressing needed to make resistive touchscreens work? Do you actually like Orange widgets,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-luggage-phantom-tote-chocolate-boston-bag-p-6.html chocolate celine boston bag]?

Create an Ad-Hoc Wireless Network
What’s the best way to transfer files from one computer to another? You can use a USB thumb drive or an Internet service like Dropbox, but a network connection is almost always the most efficient choice. You might think that both computers need access to a common network to use network sharing, but that’s not actually the case. Thanks to ad-hoc networking (a built-in feature in Windows) any two Wi-Fi-enabled laptops can shares files and play games as though they were on a LAN.
Setting up an ad-hoc connection in Windows Vista or 7 is a surprisingly simple affair. We’ll show you how.
Host an Ad-Hoc Network
(Image A)
On the computer that you want to host the network, click the wireless-signal connection-strength icon on the right side of the task bar. Select Open Network and Sharing Center, and then choose “Set up a new connection or network.” If this is the first time you’ve used ad-hoc networking, you’ll be asked to choose a network name and password for your network (image A). That’s pretty much all you have to do—click through the rest of the setup process and your network should be ready to go. Note that you’ll be disconnected from any other wireless networks you were connected to.
Connect to an Ad-Hoc Network
You connect to an ad-hoc network just like you’d connect to any other secure wireless network. Just select it from the wireless networks menu, and enter your password. That’s it!
Ad-Hoc Networking Uses
What it's good for:
» Transferring files between computers.» Playing LAN games on multiple laptops.» Streaming media from a friend's laptop.» Sharing a single wired Internet connection.
What it's NOT good for:
» Replacing a router (the primary computer has to be powered on to use any of the others).» Sharing a mobile hotspot (the primary computer can't connect to two wireless networks at once).
Use Internet Connection Sharing
Ad-hoc networking is even more powerful when combined with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), a built-in feature of Windows that allows multiple computers to share a single Internet connection.
When do you need to share an Internet connection? It can be useful any time you’ve got a single wired Internet connection and multiple laptops you’d like to connect. Some hotels, for instance, still only provide a single Ethernet cable for Internet access. Additionally, ICS can allow you to share a VPN connection, and it can provide a way to connect a computer without a wireless card to a Wi-Fi network.
Set Up Internet Connection Sharing
To set up Internet Connection Sharing, open the Network Connections menu, which can be found in the Control Panel, under Network and Internet, and Network and Sharing Center (image B). Note that you won’t be able to access this menu if you only have a single network connection currently available to your computer. This makes sense because ICS requires two connections—one to connect to the Internet and one to connect to other computers (to share the Internet connection).
(Image B)
In the Network and Sharing Center, right-click the Internet connection to share, and click Properties. Select the Sharing tab, then check the box marked “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection” (image C). Now, any computer networked with this one will be able to connect to the Internet using this connection.
(Image C)
One thing to keep in mind is that any computer using this Internet connection needs to be set up to accept a dynamic IP address. If you’ve changed that setting in the past, you’ll need to go back to the network connection properties window and change it back.
By combining this feature with the previously discussed ad-hoc networking, you can easily use a single wired connection for multiple wireless devices—no new hardware or software needed.
Monitor Your Bandwidth Usage Using Open-Source Software
If you use some of the Internet-sharing techniques we’ve shown you in this how-to section, you might find yourself running afoul of your ISP’s bandwidth limits. To help you stay on the network’s good side, we’ll introduce you to some free, open-source software that will allow you to keep a watchful eye on your connection.
Bandwidth Monitor Pro
Bandwidth Monitor Pro Version 3.2 is a handy, open-source utility that we found to be the simplest and easiest to use. Installation is quick and painless, and upon an initial launch, you’ll be treated to a simple layout screen.
Don’t let the simplicity (or lack of any press-able buttons) of the interface fool you,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-doctor-bag-reviews-handbag-leather-wine-p-57.html celine doctor handbag leather]. A wide range of settings are only a right-click away.In the Settings menu, there are tons of options to play with (image D),[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-mini-luggage-tote-bag-in-green-p-91.html celine mini luggage tote]. You can customize the look of your readout and of the Bandwidth Monitor Pro window itself.
(Image D)
Another useful option is the one called Period, which allows you to choose a period of time to set the readout for. By default, Bandwidth Monitor Pro measures periods of 24 hours, or daily usage. But this can be altered—with a few clicks, you can choose a day of the month you’d like to start monitoring and when you’d like the monitoring to end.
(Image E)
There are multiple facets of Bandwidth Monitor Pro that you can customize, but arguably the most important option in the Settings menu is the email alert system. Clicking to the Alerts tab (image E) will pull up a menu that allows you to choose conditions that warrant an email alert—for instance, you want to be notified when you are approaching your bandwidth cap.

So far, we’ve shown you some excellent tools built into Windows for creating, accessing, and sharing networks. However, if you’ve been following along, you’ll notice that there’s one capability that’s conspicuously absent—the ability to share a Wi-Fi Internet connection wirelessly.
Although there’s nothing about ad-hoc networking or Internet sharing that would make this inherently impossible, the simple fact that most computers are not equipped to access more than one network at a time means that you need some extra help, in the form of a free program called Connectify.
Why would you want to share a Wi-Fi Internet connection wirelessly,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/discount-brown-celine-boston-tote-bag-p-10.html celine boston tote brown], you ask,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/black-celine-classic-calfskin-shoulder-small-sling-bag-p-117.html celine small shoulder bag]? Well, primarily, it allows you to share access to a network that might be hard to come by. For instance, a paid wireless hotspot in an airport or hotel. We’ll let the ethical and legal implications of that wash over you.
Even if you don’t want to share a hotspot with multiple users, you can use Connectify to use multiple gadgets on a single connection. For instance, with Connectify you can give your Wi-Fi-only smartphone access to a Wi-Fi hotspot you’ve paid for on your computer, or to a wired broadband connection.
Set Up Connectify
(Image F)
First, go to www.connectify.me, and select the download link on the right of the page, then run the installer. The installation is straightforward,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-mini-shoulder-luggage-bag-tote-blue-at-the-discount-price-p-105.html celine mini luggage blue], but be aware that it tries to install some bloatware in the process, so keep an eye out for the “no thanks” button (image F).
(Image G)
Once you start up Connectify for the first time, it’ll automatically run the setup wizard. This asks you for basic information like network name and password, but it will also ask you what kind of shared connection you’d like to set up (image G). Here are the options:
» No Internet Sharing
This option does no Internet sharing (as you might have guessed) but it still establishes an ad-hoc network, allowing you to do file transfers and LAN gaming.
» Local Area Connection
This option shares access to the LAN that the host computer is currently connected to. Choose this option if you want to share a wired connection wirelessly.
» Wireless Network Connection
This is the option you’re most likely interested in—it allows you to share access to a wireless network, such as a mobile hotspot.
» VirtualBox Host-Only Network
This option allows you to share a special kind of a virtual network used by the VirtualBox virtualization software. You probably don’t need it.
(Image H)
After setup, when you run Connectify, it will go straight to your system tray. If you click it, it’ll open a configuration panel where you can change your network options, and also view anyone who is currently connected to your network, or who has connected in the recent past (image H). If you right-click one of these users, you can block them, give them a special icon, or click the Explore button to see shared folders on that computer.
Strengthen Your Wireless Network
Another way to use Connectify is to expand the signal strength of your home Wi-Fi network. Because Connectify can turn any computer into an access point, you can turn that old laptop into a free Wi-Fi range extender.
Troubleshoot Your Internet Connection
In this wired day and age, there’s nothing quite as frustrating as finding yourself unwillingly unplugged. What’s worse, with a busted Internet connection, you frequently don’t have much of an idea what’s going on—web pages don’t load, but it’s up to you to figure out why. Networking is tricky business, and there are dozens of complicated things that can go wrong, but a lot of time the root cause is one of a few simple problems. With that in mind, here’s our basic Internet troubleshooting checklist.
Restart Your Router
Most computer users already know this, but it’s so important that it’s worth stating anyway. Before spending any time trying to figure out what the problem is, do a complete power cycle on your router and your modem. Hopefully, that will fix your problem, and you’re done with this guide. If it doesn’t, read on.
(Image I)
If you find yourself routinely having to restart your router, you may be overloading it. In particular, BitTorrent and other programs that open lots and lots of simultaneous connections can overwhelm an old or crappy router. Lowering the maximum number of uploads and downloads in your BitTorrent client might fix the problem—at the expense of some download speed (image I).
Is It Your Wi-Fi?
If you’re trying (and failing) to connect to a Wi-Fi network, whip out your trusty Ethernet cable and jack in. Hopefully, your Internet connection will now work, and you’ll have narrowed down your problem considerably. If this is the case, consider the following possible causes of Wi-Fi failure.
» Can you see other wireless networks?
If you can see other wireless networks but not your own, then the problem is with your router. Consult your user guide for more info on troubleshooting the router itself.
» Is your Wi-Fi adapter enabled?
It sounds silly, but a lot of laptops feature a combination of custom Wi-Fi interface (image J) and a too-clever-for-its-own-good hardware Wi-Fi switch that can make it all too easy to inadvertently turn off your Wi-Fi card. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.
(Image J)
» Is your wireless driver correct?
If you’ve recently reformatted your laptop, and now can no longer connect to Wi-Fi networks, you may be lacking the proper driver for your wireless card. Hit up the laptop manufacturer’s website and look for the motherboard, chipset, and wireless drivers for your model.
If It's Not the Wi-Fi...
Something might be wrong with your router, your Internet connection, or your computer’s settings. Here’s what to look for.
» Is it your network settings?
Open up your network setting panel (Control Panel gt; Network and Internet gt; Network Connection, then right-click Local Area Connection, select IPv4, and click Properties). In your router settings, you can see if your network uses dynamically assigned IPs (most home networks do). If it does, make sure that the “Obtain an IP address automatically” setting is selected in the IPv4 properties.
» Is it your DNS server?
Open a command prompt (Windows key + R, type cmd and hit Enter), then try to ping a known IP address. If you don’t know a working IP address off the top of your head,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-doctor-bag-leather-green-buy-online-p-53.html buy celine doctor bag green], you can use a working computer to ping a website (for instance, ping Google by entering ping www.google.com) and it will return an IP address (image K). Now, try to ping that address on the computer that can’t connect. If you get a response by pinging the IP address but not the domain name, the problem may be in your DNS settings. Check them out in your router.
(Image K)
» Is it your broadband provider?
And of course, the problem could always be out of your hands. If nothing else seems to be working, try giving your ISP a call and asking if there’s a problem on its end.
Now, we know this is hardly an exhaustive list, but the steps we’ve described here should catch all the most common problems you might have with your Internet connection. Good luck!

Palm Pre is All Win
Finally, someone has announced an iPhone killer that we can all get behind. The Palm Pre surprised everyone at CES with its best-of-all-worlds specs and features. We’re talking about a multi-touch phone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a truly innovative web-integrated user interface.
Early impressions indicate a really smooth and fast interface and web-browsing experience, with all the productivity and media features that we’ve come to expect from a modern smartphone. It’s as if Palm designers made a list of everything that was lacking from the iPhone and made a point to incorporate it here. Real GPS, MMS messaging, USB port, and removable battery lets Palm blow a raspberry at the competition. Copy and paste is just gravy. But too bad it won’t be converting iPhone users anytime in the near future – the Pre is a Sprint exclusive.
Touch is Really Good

We’re as guilty as everyone who’s compared large touch-screen displays to the gesture-controlled interface shown in the movie Minority Report, but this year’s CES was the first time that futuristic technology actually felt within our grasp (or touch, at least). Intel’s booth showcased a prototype touch screen on a special glass pane with images projected onto it. The single-touch capacitive panel let us intuitively maneuver around a 3D representation of a showroom to read about Intel’s Core-i7 processor.
What was special about this demonstration wasn’t the technology used in the touch screen, but the unique implementation with a transparent panel. This prototype may not have practical applications or ever come to market, but we’re still enamored by anything that’ll take us back to 2002 and let us relive that awesome Minority Report scene.
Windows 7 Charms Us with Betta
It might’ve been the worst kept secret at CES, but announcement of the Windows 7 public Beta was still music to our ears. And despite initial download-server woes last Friday, this beta release has been pretty successful for Microsoft. We were surprised at how easy the installation process was,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-large-luggage-leather-tote-yellow-with-black-trim-discount-p-64.html Celine Large Luggage Leather Tote Yellow With Black Trim], whether from installing on a new partition, upgrading from within Vista, or even running with Boot Camp on a Macbook Pro.
The OS’s performance also doesn’t disappoint – it’s been as stable as rock – and the new UI improvements (taskbar, UAC, libraries, etc) feel like substantial improvements to the Windows user experience,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-tote-mini-luggage-bag-beige-black-online-sale-p-100.html black celine luggage tote]. And with the beta ending in August, there’s a real possibility of Windows 7 being dated for sometime this year. The sooner we can forget about Vista’s growing pains and look forward to a fresh Windows restart, the better.
Ultra-Thin is In
The central CES hall was predictably dominated by fleets of flatpanels, but the models unveiled this year were noticeably more modest than in years past. Gone were 150” monstrosities and the battle for the largest screen size,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-classic-box-shoulder-bag-grey-online-sale-p-29.html grey celine classic box bag], replaced by the newest fad in LCD monitors – ultra-thin displays. Hitachi debuted a line of 1.5” deep HDTVs, while Pioneer and JVC both amazed us with prototypes that measured less than 10mm thick. But it was Samsung that showed everyone up with their 6.5mm thin panel, taking home the “thinnest TV” title,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-trapeze-bag-tri-color-beige-grey-coffee-discount-p-141.html celine bag tri color]. Advances in LED backlighting is what enables the these displays to be so anorexic, with the possibility of going even thinner once OLED technology is more developed. We don’t know if these ultra-thin displays will make good role models for the next generation of image-conscious televisions, but we have to admit – they’re damn sexy.
Don’t You Dare Call These Netbooks

While every system maker was showing off new netbooks,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/black-celine-doctor-bag-leather-p-56.html black celine doctor bag], Dell and Sony bucked the trend by revealing systems that defiantly reject the netbook moniker. Dell’s 13” Adamo is a new brand that looks like a Macbook Air-killer with its svelte form-factor and minimalist aluminum design. Hardware specs for this stylish ultra-portable have yet to be released,[http://www.2012celinebag.net/celine-doctor-bag-calfskin-leather-dark-green-p-58.html celine doctor bag green], but Dell confirmed that this will be a high-end product produced in limited quantities.

Sony, on the other hand, showed off a device that doesn’t quite fall into either the netbook or UMPC categories. The almost purse-sized Vaio P runs on a 1.33GHz Atom processor, 2GB of Ram, and boots into Vista, but also uses a Sony XMB-like instant-on OS for access to media and the internet (via built-in 3G). Starting at 900 (and going up to 1500 with storage upgrades), the Vaio P is another device that, unlike netbooks, doesn’t trade power for portability – if you can afford it.
Bonus: Light Attendance
Attendance falling 22 from last year may be a sign of the struggling economy, but at least it made walking through the typically packed exhibit floors much more manageable. We didn’t have to weave through swarms of packed crowds to make our meetings, and even the legendary taxi line waits (well over an hour in the past) were bearable. Hopefully exhibitors weren’t too discouraged by the emptier halls and will return next year.
