Bored ReaderNikon D50?Lol, that camera was launched more than 5 years ago, and is now discontinued for years.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_D50please retain from publishing such articles in the future, or do your homework first. My apologies. I meant to include the Nikon D5000, not the D50...

Evgeni MetodievOK, nice article for beginners. If only you were not that biased and favoring Canon. . . .In the meantime I've always had a P&S camera with me, be it a Lumix, or a Pentax or a Canon. Out of these, I cant support your opinion that canon's are the best, too. Did I say Canon was the...

omnimodis78Great guide - but a bit imbalanced. You admit that most of us just rely on the good old P-mode, and yet you then show us 5 shot HDR, and 50mm fixed lenses... Come on. How about this guide for entry-level SLRs and their users. You know, 18-55mm lens, three-exposure HDR, etc. It...

joebob2000Fever. Saturday Night Fever. I'm pretty sure that was the one with the dance floor. Saturday night live had guys in drag. Argh -- you're so right. Fever, of course. The shame...it hurts.

JohnnyLuckyLooking forward to an article explaining cloud computing does or doesn’t make sense for consumers and small businesses.Stay tuned. You'll see it soon on Tom's Hardware. ;-)

kurt_vanWho decides which Bluetooth to test and why no plantronics? I spoke with Plantronics when preparing for this article. They did not have a unit that had launched within our recent history window. Sad, too. I've always liked Plantronics gear.

cadder1. You left out a little step- the netbook doesn't have an optical drive. You should mention how you attached an external drive, what drive you used, did the netbook recognize it, etc.2. You mention "acronis" several times. Is it contained within the software provided with the drive...

ViDERThere's only one problem. Who would spend an extra 489.99 on an SSD, when paying 459.87 for a netbook (Don't forget the taxes) is already too much? Check Tom's Hardware tomorrow morning (12/31/09) for a story that will answer your question. You may be pleasantly surprised. :-)

ppsI don't get it. This article first discribes how SLC is superior in every technical category, then it says that they are making improvements to MLC and concludes that MLC is the future. ??? It's a price vs. performance issue. Yes, SLC rules on performance, but its progress has stayed fairly...

nonxcarbonxThis is an even better ssd article than anandtech's ssd anthology. Nice work. Thanks! However, even I'll second Eggrendade's comment. I wrote this piece specifically as an introduction to SSDs for those still getting their feet wet -- not the type wanting an in-depth analysis of file...

TomsguiderachelMusic. Not games. 2.1 is the best way to listen to music. Nobody wrote anything about what's best for gaming. Not everyone is a gamer If you're a gamer and want surround sound for PC audio, go for it! I don't play many games or movies on my PC -- which uses a Logitech 5.1 set --...

williamvwI've known a lot of people with cancer. Never had it myself, though...yet. Just because we've been lucky enough not to have had an ailment outselves doesn't mean it isn't real for others or that we can't take prudent action to avoid contracting the problem in the future.

excalibur1814I've been using all manner of keyboards, from the Acorn Electron all the way up to a standard laptop keyboard and mouse. No problem. No RSI.I'm in I.T. so do use them ALL the darn timeTry not to give people something to moan about. I've known a lot of people with cancer. Never had...

old_fart_againI hope the writer knows more about the technologies discussed than they do about geography - The Cascade Mountains are NOT halfway between Portland and the Beach - they are East of Portland. The mountains "half-way" between Portland and the beach are called "The Coast Range" in...
