G4 provides an analysis of Ninteno DS vs. Sony PSP
If you’re like me, then you’re not a hard core portable gamer. In which case, it’s not quite clear which portable gaming device one should buy - the new Sony PSP (which costs more) or the older Nintendo DS (not really that old). The folks at G4 provide an analysis on both game consoles and give their recommendations. The final verdict? Though the PSP is more expensive, it’s the one to beat and the one to get.

HP has announced a new Media Center PC design and you can see it here on MacMiniGear.com It’s a bit boring in design for a Media Center PC since it’s a pretty boring tower design.. it’s white like a Mac and it even has a dock interface for the Apple iPod on top. Otherwise, the new model (which will be available in the Pavilion d4000 series, Pavilion a1000 series, and m7000 series) is somewhat bland to us.

Thief steals UC-Berkeley laptop
Are people ever going to learn? Why is important information stored on items like laptops that can be easily stolen? Case in point - a thief took a campus laptop from the Graduate Division offices of the University of Cal. - Berkeley which contained information on well over 98,000 individuals that attended Berkeley from 1976 to 2004. Some of this information contains valuable data such as addresses and social security numbers. Utter ridiculousness.
