Also, with a special stylus, you can Ink on your screen. Inking is a term used to explain “drawing”, so-to-speak, on your laptop’s screen using a stylus. And by drawing, I mean drawing in the Photoshop way, not the “Biq Pen” way.

Inking is especially cool because it allows you to capture a perfectly digitized version of your exact, actual signature. Also, when you decide to hand write a document, your tablet will implement advanced techniques to recognize your handwriting – even converting it to text if you so wish.

And this applies to your laptop just as much as anything else.

If you’re one of the many people who have noticed their laptops starting to feel overly warm, or even hot to the touch, after using them for not just a few minutes, then you probably know what I’m talking about. And if you use your laptop on your bed, setting it down directly on your blanket, that…well…that’s like leaving your child in the car on a hot summer day while you go shopping. Not cool! And yes, that pun was TOTALLY intended.

So, if you’re worried about your hot laptop, think about getting a notebook cooler. Or, at the very least, a cooling pad. You’ll notice a huge difference.

So far, I’ve really enjoyed my new toy. It did take some tweaking to figure out what software I needed and I had to play around with the settings quite a bit to make my labels turn out the way I wanted them to. But, after all is said and done, my custom made DVDs are turning out beautifully and I couldn’t be much happier. If you’re like me, and think this kind of technology is pretty cool, then I’m sure you’d love to have one. And what I like best about mine is it covers my rear when I have to come up with a last minute gift!

I hope that changes in the next few years, because the truth is a lot of people spend more time listening to music on their computers than they do on their iPods. And the reason is simple. We’re online ALL THE TIME. Between email, facebook, and YouTube, people are beginning to spend more time in front of the computer than anywhere else.

And for many of us, we like to listen to tunes while we’re plugging away at the keyboard. But if you care about high quality audio at all, you know those lousy speakers built into your monitor or laptop all but destroy your music. All they do is make the audio recognizable so you can say, “Oh yeah…I (thought I) like this song”.

If you care about the quality of your music, do yourself a favor and pick up a decent set of speakers. You’ll learn to enjoy your music a LOT more. And if you play games, you’ll really appreciate the deeper bass an actual set of speakers will give you.

“Yeah, So what?” you might ask. Well, the best thing about a wireless mouse is the amount and degree of freedom it affords you. You can lean back and relax and still adjust your volume. You can lay in your bed and keep control of your DVD functions. And you can even hand it to your friend who’s sitting next to you when he is unsuccessfully trying to verbally to navigate you to a website, and let him take you there himself. Trust me, it’s a lot easier.

And the performance of a good wireless mouse these days meets or even exceeds the performance of a wired USB mouse. And the reason is simple. Wired devices run on frequencies just like wireless devices. Therefore, if your wireless mouse runs at a higher frequency than your wired mouse (which can often be the case) then your wireless mouse will actually have a faster connection to your PC than your wired one.

Pretty cool, isn’t it?

To understand what over clocking is, you need to understand the basics of how a computer component operates. Essentially, what a processor, graphics card, or memory does is take a little bit of electricity, run a series of operations and calculations using that electricity, takes a bit more electricity, runs more operations and calculations, and so on and so forth. These are called “cycles”, and cycles are expressed in Hertz. That’s the “1.5GHz” reading you’re used to seeing on a computer’s spec sheets.

What over clocking does is force your computer to run more cycles in a given period of time. So, instead of performing 1.5 billion cycles, or 1.5 Gigahertz, you force your computer to run 2.5 billion cycles per minute, or 2.5 Gigahertz.

As complicated as it sounds, that’s really at it is. Simple enough, huh?
