Last week Sony debuted an affordable line of Sony VAIO laptops, the NW series, that can support Blu-ray discs. The news is great and is continuing the trend of laptops being able to support Sony's high-def disc technology, including an even cheaper Blu-ray laptop from Acer, just announced yesterday.
But it's hardly the simple format roll-out previously seen for, say, DVDs — Steve Jobs famously called Blu-ray "a bag of hurt" just months ago, when asked if we'd see it on Macs anytime soon.

Since I like to plan ahead, I knew that I needed to fully juice my laptop battery the night before WWDC in order to be maxed out for the two-hour live-blogging event the next day. But unfortunately, unlike the new Macbooks that were announced at the Apple keynote, mine does not last for seven hours. I'm lucky to get two and a half!

During a recent trip to St. Tropez, Eva Longoria and husband Tony Parker were not only captured jet skiing and soaking up some rays, but the happy couple also managed to mix business with pleasure by squeezing in some laptop time. Now I already knew that Eva was a PC girl, but I didn't know that her hubby was an Apple lover: here she is with her black Lenovo ThinkPad whereas Tony is rockin' a MacBook Pro.

Experts keep saying light, inexpensive netbooks are going to reshape the computer industry, but it turns out the weight and price may not be final factors when it comes to customer satisfaction with a machine. A recent study of consumer interactions with a bunch of companies proved happiness and overall satisfaction with Macs is higher than for several major Windows PC builders.
The study examined the usefulness, usability, and enjoyability of those experiences of five large PC manufacturers: Apple, Compaq, Dell, Gateway, and Hewlett-Packard (HP).

So with the majority of you on board with the whole Netbook craze, let me just throw a little wrench in your wish list and savings plan — it's called the Nettop. Although most people are smitten with the tiny portable computers, some are not so infatuated with the small keyboard, screen, and storage availability to match. Nettops, which made a big impact at the CES conference in Las Vegas this year, are smaller than your average desktop (with screens ranging from 15-19 inches), and come in an all-in-one bundle, which is easy on the eyes and great for maximizing space.

Want to get a nice up and close look at HP's Mini Vivienne Tam special-edition notebook? The red-hot digital clutch is being featured in Macy's Flower Show (which is worth checking out in and of itself) in New York City, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia. You can find the notebook at Macy’s Herald Square in New York (2nd floor), Macy’s on State Street in Chicago (3rd floor), and Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco (3rd floor) or else opt for the guided tour of the displays at each location.

It doesn't take me long to get ready in the morning, but I can totally see the appeal of working from home — roll out of bed, make your coffee, and fire up the laptop to get your day started. And although the idea of telecommuting has been around since the 80's (I know, like forever), the current state of affairs is making working from home more attractive to businesses and employees alike. Not only does it cut down on operation costs, but telecommuting has been proven to raise morale.
