- • iSuppli: Entry-level iPad costs $229.35 to manufacture, cheaper models en route?
If the iPad does take off to a slow start, Apple has a decent amount of headroom to slash the retail price. Don’t pray for a $199 iPad, though – a large screen and other components that go into the device don’t come cheap.
According to a preliminary iSuppli estimate, total cost of components that go […]

Don’t mean to encroach on Naota’s threads but this melody was too good to not share.
Edit: 8/23/10 – Video updated to one still available. Shame, previous version picture looked cooler.

- • Did Avatar in 3D make you feel sick?
Did watching Avatar in 3D make you feel sick? Apparently that’s what’s happening to a lot of people, or so The New York Times claims.
Watching movies in 3D causes your eyes to do a lot more movement, and unnatural movements, than watching a film in 2D. Something referred to as sensory conflict also occurs where […]

How to Remove Ubuntu Netbook Remix Without Windows CD and Restore Windows MBR
Last Updated on Monday, 8 February 2010 05:52 Written by DarkKnightH20 Tuesday, 9 February 2010 10:00
I ran across the issue the other day with my netbook. I wanted to remove Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but deleting the Linux partition would cause GRUB, the bootloader, to cause errors. GRUB is usually removed by using a Windows Operating System Install CD and running commands through a special prompt. However, since netbooks don’t have CD drives, this was an issue. Sure, I could have done something through a USB flash drive or even through a USB external DVD/CD drive, but no, I found an even easier way to do it. You can restore your MBR without any devices needed and you don’t even have to restart your computer. I added this information to the Review: Ubuntu Netbook Remix, as well as informaton on how to delete the Linux partition on a dual boot Windows-Linux environment. Hope it helps!
