It can be embarrassing to forget someone in a big group email — when you remember, do you forward the whole string, or resend it to everyone? To avoid alienating anyone, Gmail can help.
From home, open up Contacts. Start checking off people you'd like to add to a group (which you can edit to add more or delete later), and then click on the Groups drop-down to the right. Click Add to New Group, and a field will open asking what you'd like to name the group. Maybe you'd like a group for your book club, or everyone you usually invite to events. After entering the name, you've just created a Gmail group.
When you go to compose your next invite, just start typing the name of the group, and everyone in the group will get your email.
First it was the Sony Rolly and now it is the Sony Webbie, which can capture HD MPEG-4 video and 5-megapixel photos. The Webbie will be available for $200 tomorrow. — Engadget
After spotting a countdown ad on the Sony New Zealand site right before Christmas, it was pretty much guaranteed that Sony would be announcing something exciting during CES. Well here you have it, the world's lightest 8-inch notebook — the new VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC. Weighing in at only 1.4 pounds, this beauty comes with great screen resolution, WiFi, Bluetooth, built-in webcam, and its LCD display is LED-backlit. Comparable to the chic Vivienne Tam HP Laptop, this netbook will be available by early February and will be come in black, white, red, and green. Prices start at $900.
Will the Nation's Switch to Digital TV Be Postponed? The Consumers Union wants Congress to delay the nation's transition to digital television because it believes the program to help American's transition has been underfunded and poorly implemented. It was announced earlier this week that the $1.3 billion dollar program to offset the cost of buying converter boxes is all tapped out.
I got up bright and early yesterday morning to wait in line for the David Pogue panel at Macworld, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this wouldn't be like the other forums I've seen before — this was the David Pogue Show! Set up like a late night talk show set, David welcomed a few tech-savvy guests you may (or may not) recognize, one of them being Matt Harding.
When I wasn't checking out the new Apple goods at Macworld, I had my eye out for new accessories; mainly, I'm eager to see what new spin on iPhone cases there are. The Contour Cases' booth managed to change my mind a little about silicone cases by showing off bright colors and slimmer profiles.
It seems like the vast majority of iPhone and iPod Touch cases are silicone right now, and knowing its durability, it's no shocker, but I hate putting my hand in my bag and touching something that feels like a tire tread.
Contour's cases fit a little close to the device, felt great in my hand, and the color family (lots of greens, blues, and blacks) is modern and cool. Likewise, the hard plastic cases didn't feel like they'd shatter if you dropped them on the asphalt.
Some of the shown styles are on their website already, but I'm looking forward to new cases being added soon.
We've heard this all before: MSI introduced an ultralight and portable laptop at CES yesterday that is touted to be an "Air Killer." Humm, I'm not so sure about that just yet, but it is a 2.9 pound, 1.98 centimeter package with a 13-inch widescreen (16:9) display (virtually a Macbook Air clone), so it's sounding pretty good so far.
What's the biggest jaw dropper about the MSI? The price tag that starts at a whopping $1100 dollars cheaper than the Air at $700 bucks. Now, of course I'd need to know more details (ports, memory, hard drive space, etc.), but the X320 is looking pretty darn nice, especially since saving money is kinda key right now.
