Lack of USB Ports and the Increase of Adapters

CES was just last month and it gave us yet more incremental updates. As is too often the case with laptops. Over the last few years, one of the incremental updates that have been a trend is decremental in nature. I am talking about the lessening of ports and bezels around the screen. While I like thin bezels because that means I can have a larger screen in a smaller form factor, I am not a fan of the disappearing ports. We are not wireless yet and the inconvenience is greater than the promise of the future. We carry heavy computing power in smaller bags, and interaction with these computers is no longer limited to a mouse and keyboard. There is touch interaction as well as gesture interaction on top of traditional methods. However, decreasing ports create limitations when it comes to plugging things into a laptop.

Setting Up A Printer - The Fails And Triumphs

There is nothing quite like reading something on paper. Electronic copies of books will never be the same as the smell of a good book, and the feel of the paper. A poetry class will never be complete unless you scribble a million things in the margin. But getting prints without an in-house printer can get expensive in the long run. If you are in undergrad or graduate school, it would be easier to have a printer of your own. And even if you are done with school, a printer is a must in a home office. It also happens to be one of those frustrating gadgets to set up. So we have come up with a quick guide to help you select and set up a printer. Before selecting a printer, here are the questions you need to ask yourself: What are you going to be printing? Are you going to be printing only text-based documents? Or are you also going to be printing images? On average, how much printing will you be doing? This determines the kind of printing method you need. If you need to pr...
