Intel Offers $125 Speedy 40GB SSD Google Expected To Pull Plug on China Dealing with Windows 7 Annoyances Xeon 5600 for Servers, Workstations Readers Like Free Online News Twitter To Send Tweets Across Web Intel says booting up PCs will be faster with its new 40GB X25-V Value SATA solid-state drive used in dual-drive notebook configurations or added to a desktop with an existing hard drive. Google seems closer to ending operations in China after threatening to pull out. Google's Chinese-language search engine is the only major foreign competitor in the communist nation. Windows 7 has garnered plenty of accolades since its release, but users are annoyed at some of its new or unexpected behavior. The good news is that most of what ails Windows 7 can be remedied. Intel has rolled out a new range of Xeon processor chips that are based on the chipmaker's 32nm logic technology featuring second-generation high-k metal gate transistors. Getting people to pay for news online at this point would be "like trying to force butterflies back into their cocoons," a new consumer survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism suggests. In a move to broaden its reach across the Internet, Twitter has announced a new @anywhere service that lets users send and receive 140-character messages while surfing on other web sites.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   Intel Offers $125 Speedy 40GB SSD   Google Expected To Pull Plug on China Dealing with Windows 7 Annoyances Most of what ails Win 7 has a remedy.   FULL STORY Xeon 5600 for Servers, Workstations Faster, secure and energy efficient.   FULL STORY Readers Like Free Online News Survey shows users unlikely to pay.   FULL STORY Twitter To Send Tweets Across Web JavaScript drop-in shares messages.   FULL STORY Cybercriminals Steal Virtual Objects Get Rid of Graffiti with Your iPhone Fighting Flood of Bogus Tech Products Recession Recovery: One-Hit Wonder Remove 'Bloatware' from a Win 7 PC Tiny Laptops Offer Fancy Features Computer gamers are increasingly finding that there's a serious side to their virtual fun: their hard-earned virtual objects are being stolen from them, and in some cases their entire game as well. Graffiti? There's an app for that. The old-school practice of American graffiti may have met its match in some high-tech programs designed to report and remove the blight from city and private property. In the past five years, counterfeit computer chips, routers, and other electronic products have become an epidemic, with fake gear costing the IT industry an estimated $100 billion a year. The recovery is losing steam, with the U.S. economy growing at half the brisk 5.9 percent pace at which the government estimated it grew last quarter. Was the year-end growth spurt a one-hit wonder? Buy a new Win 7 computer, and you'll likely be in for some surprises -- both pleasant and unpleasant. On the unpleasant side will be the many applications PC makers preinstall on their computers. A rash of new laptops set for display at the CeBIT computing trade show underlines the growing shift in the market to tinier machines with fancier features such as 3-D graphics and touch screens.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   Cybercriminals Steal Virtual Objects   Get Rid of Graffiti with Your iPhone Fighting Flood of Bogus Tech Products Counterfeit gear is now an 'epidemic.'   FULL STORY Recession Recovery: One-Hit Wonder Growth slows after year-end spurt.   FULL STORY Remove 'Bloatware' from a Win 7 PC Less is more sometimes in computing.   FULL STORY Tiny Laptops Offer Fancy Features Like touch screens and 3-D graphics.   FULL STORY Enterprise I.T.
