On Sunday, I wrote that online back-up services are much in demand from consumers who are worried about their digital data. David Friend, CEO of Carbonite, told us that he wouldn’t be surprised that in a few years “almost every PC is going to ship with online backup built-in.” Seems like he was being super-conservative, and his vision might come to life sooner than we think, thanks to two announcements that hit the wires this week.

I’ve just got my hands on one of the new Dell Netbooks and first impressions are very good. It is designed to be a portable Internet anywhere device, weighing in at a measly 990g and measuring 232×175x30 (that’s about 1/3 of the size of my Mac Book Pro) and includes built-in broadband, there’s a SIM slot behind the battery so no need for a protruding 3G dongle. If you’re in the UK there are couple of ways you can get you hands on a free Dell Netbook. The firs... more

What Makes Gaming Social?
