Prey
http://bootlog.org/prey Prey is a simple and lightweight program that will help you track and find your laptop if it ever gets stolen. It works in all operating systems and not only is it Open Source but also completely free. Prey helps you find your stolen laptop by sending timed reports to your email with a bunch of information of its whereabouts. This includes the general status of the computer, a list of running programs and active connections, fully-detailed network and wifi information, a screenshot of the running desktop and — in case your laptop has an integrated webcam — a picture of the thief. |

Intel Classmate PC
http://tinyurl.com/98oosb Intel Classmate PC Intel launched its second-generation Classmate PC at CES, and will now offer OEMs a pair of designs to choose from, rather than a single unit. The new system is attractive and well built, and sports an improved set of features for classrooms Fortunately, I was also able to sit down and talk with Jeffery R. Galinovsky, the regional head for the Classmate PC ecosystem in mature markets. One key aspect of the Classmate PC initiative that stands in stark contrast to the company's typical approach is the realization that these systems need to stay relevant for substantial periods of time. |

The Ultra-Mobile PC (made in Singapore)
http://www.kohjinsha.com.sg/ The UMPC is first and foremost a computer. It runs a full version of Windows XP and Vista operating systems software. It might come equipped with full versions of popular Microsoft software applications such as Office, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. The UMPC is not a sit-on-your-desk computer, nor is it even a sit-on-your-lap computer; rather, it is a hold-in-your-hands computer. It is so small and lightweight that you can hold it in your hands, much like you would hold a book. It also sports a touch screen, making it super-easy to do tasks both simple and complex. Internet access is easy, of course. Running Internet Explorer or other Web browsers, you can access Wi-Fi hotspots, 3G data cards or even use a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to surf the Net. Email, downloading and uploading of audio and video files, instant messaging — it's all possible with the UMPC, which promises a fast connection wherever you go. |

Saying no to school laptops
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06243/717868-96.stm Saying no to school laptops Ms. Adam is part of a backlash against programs that equip every student in a classroom with a computer. A few years ago, such programs, which aim to better engage and train students by giving them round-the-clock computer access, were introduced in schools across the country -- often with encouragement from the large computer makers, such as Apple and Dell Inc., that win the contracts. But now, some parents and educators are having second thoughts over higher-than-anticipated costs and the potential for inappropriate use by kids. |

Using Laptops and Notesbooks ... Health & Safety
http://www.openerg.com/dse/notebooks.html Laptops and Notesbooks ... Health & safety Proper body posture when typing is "key" to avoiding injuries! But the proximity of a notebook's keyboard to its screen forces you to assume incorrect and painful positions. If the notebook screen is at eye level, the keyboard is too high. If the keyboard is at the correct typing level, the screen is too low. Also it is too close to the eyes.
