Please stop leaving out the "square" in your titles or at least get it right. Covering 4800 square feet is only about 80 feet. 4800 feet of coverage would straight up mean I could still connect to my home wifi while at the grocery store.

LOL, Google just announced this feature for Android last week at Google IO. When will Apple stop stealing other's ideas? It's one thing to simply copy a good idea. It's the whole patenting it and playing it off as its own idea that makes Apple an unethical and despicable company.

kevinp8192While the HDMI spec and several video cards may support output from the higher resolutions, the Intel HD3000 and HD4000 only support 1920 x 1200 output via HDMI. To get full WQHD support with these two graphic solutions, you must use DisplayPort. As stated on intel's website, for...

bazwaldoThis is Apple bashing.The Mac Air is a great PC. Its not expensive compared to equivalent ultrabook, just to a regular laptop. When I looked at the Macair i also looked at the Asus, Acer, and Toshiba equivalents,The Asus and Acer were 10-15% cheaper, but were plasticky, had a lower...

kevinp8192I hate OSX. No, despise it, much prefer Windows 7. However, for an ultrabook, my requirements are that I have at least 8 GB of RAM and at least a displayport out so I can send a native 2560x1440 to my Dell WQHD monitor. Although the MB Air only recently allowed RAM up to 8 GB, it...

jumpupanddownIt took almost 10 years for the manufactures to come up with hardware as good or possibly better than the quality of the mac air (asus anybody?). (And that is only 1 company that is doing this now. So apple does not have much to worry about it's sales).That is the main reason why...

NotFastEnoughHybrid hard drives negate a lot of what makes the Macbook Air great. My counter argument: You can go with the Sony Vaio T-Series with a hybrid drive and save $400, taking a small hit in load times for apps you don't use often, or you can go with the T-Series with a SSD and save...

HurrpancakesI think your Linpack results are a bit off. A higher score in Linpack is better, and the Nexus S can get 60+ MFLOPS Very sorry, you're right! The Linpack table is incomplete. The numbers listed are the times in seconds it took to complete the test. The stock Nexus S speeds scored...

RemoltenMight have to try Opera Mini or Skyfire see if the page loading is worth the downgrades from using the stock browser. If you're after speed, definitely go with Opera Mini, but keep in mind that it likely won't work on complex sites. Otherwise, don't look too much into the page loading...

srapAccording to this, Flash Support on some Android versions have already landed and finished in the Aurora channel (a developer version), and it is very unlikely to see it removed before getting the stable FF 14. We can certainly hope, although with the fast adoption rate of HTML5, the loss...

ConcernedAboutJournalismSorry, but this is not a review. You could get more (and more correct) information from a Cornflakes packet. SkyDrive offers many more functions and integration than listed here. This is very shoddy work indeed. Come on, remote access, fully compatible with Office, native...

hoofheartedMaybe this is just specific to me, but the iPhone 3GS is pretty useless. I have 5.0.1 on it, and when I take the SIM card out, it puts a message "No SIM Card Installed" and continually reboots every two minutes. And then if I plug in my daughter "phone only" SIM card, AT&T...

teddyminesThis statement shocked me: "Most of us replace our smartphone every 18 to 24 months."With the economy the way it is, high smart phone prices, and some plans being close to $90/mo (I'm looking at the actual balance due on the bill), how can this be? Either some people are making pretty...

christarpCan someone remind me how keeping my old phone somehow removes the ability to do all of this on my new phone? Apart from the emergency calls I really don't see a point. The main thing is that keeping your old phone makes it so that you don't HAVE to use your new phone to do these...

math1337A router is pretty useless, because almost all modern computers can form an ad-hoc wireless network Keep in mind that ad-hoc wireless networks are a bit of a pain to set up (going in and manually setting ad-hoc mode, SSID, etc for each computer). You also cannot bridge an ad-hoc...
