Story after story from “real IT” people accuse netbooks of trying to take over the world by fraud or trickery or magic. What IT pundits, like the writer of Forget Netbooks, Desktops Rule, forget is that "normal” people don't care about ideology when they buy a netbook, they care about price, portability, and getting their work done. If a netbook does that for them, why does that upset the IT people? http://www.itworld.com/small-business/76334/neither-netbooks-nor-desktops-are-answer#comments Hardware Personal tech Small business Opinion desktop netbook video editing Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:31:50 -0400 James Gaskin 76334 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/70170/manage-twitter-your-desktop-spaz-or-tweetdeck Twitter is all the rage. It was name-checked on Conan's second Tonight Show broadcast and was even extended into a comedy bit. Basically, Twitter is a microblog that you post, which is shared with the world at large. You can collect friends and only see their tweets, see everyone's tweets, and even reply and send direct messages. In order to use Twitter, normally you have to stick to its Web site, twitter.com. Hence the need for a standalone PC application, and freebie Spaz is one such approach. http://www.itworld.com/internet/70170/manage-twitter-your-desktop-spaz-or-tweetdeck#comments Internet Personal tech Tip desktop Twitter Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:31:14 -0400 ITworld staff 70170 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/windows/69987/customize-your-windows-desktop http://www.itworld.com/windows/69987/customize-your-windows-desktop#comments Personal tech Windows How-to desktop Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:51:24 -0400 ITworld staff 69987 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/69716/revitalizing-aging-desktop-computer-cheap Don't trash your tired old desktop PC -- pump it up with a few inexpensive upgrades. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/69716/revitalizing-aging-desktop-computer-cheap#comments Hardware Feature desktop Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:18:16 -0400 ITworld staff 69716 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/69232/do-business-desktop-pcs-have-future With laptop shipments gaining momentum over the past few years the question arises: Are desktops on the verge of being banished from the enterprise? http://www.itworld.com/hardware/69232/do-business-desktop-pcs-have-future#comments Hardware News desktop laptop thin client Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:32:13 -0400 ITworld staff 69232 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/68381/un-distributing-500000-computers-poor-countries Ncomputing on Monday said it will provide virtual desktops for the United Nations as part of a wider UN program to distribute 500,000 workstations to developing nations. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/68381/un-distributing-500000-computers-poor-countries#comments Hardware Tech & society News desktop NComputing Tue, 26 May 2009 11:10:45 -0400 ITworld staff 68381 at http://www.itworld.com
