Dell has recently announced that they have made the world’s thinnest laptop, the Dell Adamo XPS measuring only 9.9mm at its thickest point making the MacBook Air look gigantic!

The Adamo XPS weighs only 1.44kg and measures 340 x273.9mm making it incredibly portable.

In addition to its astonishing thinness, the Adamo XPS features some other unique
characteristics such as a touch sensitive senor which you swipe your finger over to open the laptop (how futuristic!!) and a typing-friendly angle for the keyboard.

This laptop also comes equipped with Windows 7 64-bit, built-in 802.11n wireless connectivity, 2 USB 2.0 ports and an Ethernet connection via a dongle.

The price and release date have not yet been announced, but I am impatiently awaiting further details!

Are/were you a fan of Wallace & Gromit? If so you probably realised yesterday (4 November 2009) was their 20th anniversary, if not from the doodle on google then from the headlines in the news.

I am personally a huge fan of the duo, from the first episode, A Grand Day Out, I knew I was hooked!

Wallace, the absent minded inventor and his loyal companion Gromit worked their way into many hearts over the past 20 years and have now become international icons of British culture.

3 of their films (The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and The Curse of the Were Rabbit) have won academy awards (which doesn’t surprise me, The Wrong Trousers is by far my favourite – loved Feathers McGraw), while their first short film, A Grand Day Out, received a nomination.

These beloved characters have captured the hearts of millions around the world! It’s hard to believe 20 years have gone by so quickly!

Cheese Gromit!!!

Microsoft just launched Windows 7, the new operating system following the unfortunate Windows Vista.

In an effort to get it right this time around Microsoft tested approximately 15 million people to analyze their computing sessions in an attempt to find out what users actually do with their computers.

Windows 7 is similar in appearance to Vista although it performs much better! Microsoft removed Vista’s bugs and incorporated some handy new features into their new operating system.

Some practical new features new to Windows 7 include:

Jump Lists: With Jump Lists you can create faster shortcuts to the files, programmes and web pages that you visit most frequently.

Improved Windows Search: Windows 7 features a new and improved built-in search function. As soon as you start to type in the search box you will see a list of relevant documents, files and web pages. This improved search function will also search networked PCs, external hard drives and document libraries.

1GB Memory: Unlike Vista which needs 2GB of memory the new Windows 7 only needs 1GB taking up less of your space.

HomeGroup: The HomeGroup function makes it easy to set up a home network and share files, documents, etc…

There are too many new features to list!! This is just a taste of what Windows 7 has to offer.

It looks like Microsoft finally got it right this time!
