In announcing Thursday the release of its new Prada phone, LG Electronics didn't claim it was competing with the heavily-hyped Apple iPhone scheduled to be released in June. It didn't have to. The media did it on its own with headlines boldly suggesting the iPhone already had a competitor. Indeed, t...

Just five months after it issued a massive recall of notebook computers because of defective batteries, Dell on Friday became the target of yet more legal problems involving its notebook equipment. A group of Canadian consumers is suing Dell over what they allege are faulty Inspiron notebook machine...
Macworld vs. CES was a huge mismatch; even if you took Microsoft out of the mix, this was more like an ant against a dragon than even Jack against a giant, and -- drum roll, please -- the ant won. By the end of Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld, the media had lost interest in CES, and reporters focus...
When Apple introduces a new version of a product, it's usually undertaken with some buzz-inducing design flair that fires up the imagination and whets the appetite for consumption. That's not the case with its new MacBook offerings. Instead of fiddling with the good looks of the MacBook, the 1 Infin...
Many analysts believe Apple is set to unveil a set-top box that could bear the name "iTV" at this week's Macworld Conference and Expo. Netgear, however, beat Apple to the punch Sunday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where the company debuted its Digital Entertainer HD media receiver, ...
Yesterday, Bill Gates was supposed to give the best keynote talk in his history, but given I write this column the week before it is published I have no idea whether he actually delivered the goods. Steve Jobs doesn't do his thing until after the column publishes and most of you are still in the dar...
SanDisk has taken another swing in its memory match against Samsung with the introduction of a 32 GB, 1.8-inch solid state drive drop-in replacement for the standard mechanical hard disk drive.

I know a lot of you will be spending time with your families and, if you are like me, you may be looking for some things to talk about that aren't religion or politics but just as likely to result in a heated holiday "discussion." Since the iPod, Apple's valuation has shot up like a rocket, while Mi...
Microsoft has fixed at least one of the issues with the Zune digital media player: a compatibility problem with Windows Vista, its new operating system scheduled for release on Jan. 30. The patch may not be enough to turn around poor holiday sales of the software giant's so-called iPod-killer, thoug...
Tagging a computer with the Ferrari label may seem a tad pretentious to some minds. Whether you're of that mind or not, one thing is for sure -- any product saddled with a prestigious name like that has mighty tall boots to fill. Actually, it's more like filling hip-waders. Nevertheless, since the i...
Semiconductor maker Hynix announced Monday that it has developed a smaller computer memory chip using a 60-nanometer process that -- at 800 MHz -- is the world's fastest. The improved DRAM reportedly delivers 1 GB capacity along with the blazing speed, which tops the performance of existing 667 Mhz ...
