The chip giant adds new remote management, encryption and anti-theft tools baked right into next-gen Intel Core vPro processors for commercial desktops and notebooks.
The long-awaited iPad has arrived. But here are 12 other tablet devices that will take aim at Apple this year as the suddenly crowded tablet PC market heats up.
Going green was the rage of 2009, and the buzz in 2010 isn't letting up. Manufacturers are responding to increased demands from their white box makers for more eco-friendly components.
Savage was using his AT&T USB Connect Mercury modem, according to a post on his Twitter feed, @donttrythis. AT&T claimed Savage uploaded/downloaded 9 million kilobytes -- 9 GB -- while in Canada. Savage wrote: "Frakking impossible." AT&T turned off his phone service, refusing to turn it back on until he paid.
That's apparently when the Twitterverse got into motion. At the time, Savage had roughly 50,000 followers (it's up to 64,074 and counting), and a good chunk of them thought it was time to give AT&T a piece of their collective mind. According to Savage's Twitter page: "AT&T guy on the phone with me: 'apparently you've got enough Twitter followers to get our attention.'"
In the end, Savage reported that, "Draconian policies aside, all the AT&T cust. svc. peeps I talked to were helpful and nice. Even before my tweet."
Still, he noted, there's a problem with carriers thinking in kilobytes and not with a customer mindset. And the rates are unbelieveably high, so buyer beware. In fact, this morning, Savage wrote: "Canada's Rogers Wireless is soon to charge 15 for INCOMING txt. Prob. cheaper to call dude in INDIA: pay HIM to READ your txt to you."
