"Netbook or Notebook?"

Netbooks are rapidly evolving and they are usually marketed as companion devices. The original netbook was the Asus Eee PC 7 inch model which lead to 9 inches and now the most popular 10 inch screen model. This new netbook is growing in demand because they are cheaper , weighs less, and more portable. The netbooks don’t compete with desktops when it comes to memory, battery life, and power. Some individuals aren’t worried about these qualities making the netbook very appealing.
“Ultrathins” are Intel’s new line of PC’s that offer more powerful processors than netbooks. “The argument is that these new PCs really provide a "full PC" experience whereas netbooks don't.” Then there is the new netbook called Acer Aspire One 11.6 inch which are a great match for people on the road. They are less than 3 lbs, fit conveniently on an airplane tray, take advantage of multi task gestures, and is rated 8.5 on battery life. So what will people give up are they going to go with the new netbooks or powerful PC’s.

another new way to rent movies.

There are tons of ways to rent movies now a days, but NCR Corporations and MOD have found yet another way to do this. How do you think this would change the way we rent movies now?

NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) and MOD Systems®, Inc., have taken the first step in changing the way consumers purchase, rent and play entertainment titles on electronic devices. NCR and MOD Systems today announced a digital kiosk download pilot that transforms the movie rental experience into a simple, three-step process: choosing from more than a thousand movies and TV shows stored in a kiosk, quickly downloading the title to a secure digital (SD) memory card, and playing the movie on a home television.
