New site under construction.

I have a new site under construction. In it it contains a troubleshooting section and a tech blog section. Other sections may become available over time. I will also have the technology dictionary expanded.

Windows 7 HP slate canceled.

 Well to almost everyone's dismay the Windows 7 operating system has been taken off of the device. This and the billion dollar acquisition of Palm and their own operating system makes one wonder: "Will they make a weaker cheaper slate?" It's a possibility that they could but no one but HP clearly knows that yet.

 My guess is is that HP decided that it's not the whole Windows experience that people want on a tablet, there's netbooks for that. People that buy the ipad buy it because it is an affordable device, with thousands of applications and long battery life, along with a very simple interface. If HP plays their cards right, we may see open source software for the slate along with less power hungry hardware such as a chipset based on Nvidia's Tegra technology. This is all just theory might I add but the HP slate is still likely to be a device that could bring the ipad to it's dirty knees.

Hopefully and just maybe HP will release a cheaper tablet that people will be happy with. More on this as time grows!
