Are you looking for a free antivirus? I have just found out free Norton Antivirus software from Google. That is right, you don't have to purchase anything with this installation. You just have to download it. But as what most free software or free antivirus is offering, this has limited capability compared to those that you can buy and subscribe.

The free antivirus software from Norton that Google is offering for free for download is the Norton Security Scan. It just basic protection and of course functions as what it is designed for. It will and can detect viruses and worms from your computer and also eliminates it as needed. And just like your normal antivirus software it offers free updates of the virus definitions that you have. Though the downside is, it does not protect you real time from attacks. But you can still schedule on when to scan your computer and check for an infection.

This particular antivirus is included in the Google pack that you can download for free. Included in the pack as well are different applications from Google like the Chrome web browser. But what I like as well is the Spyware Doctor Starter Edition. Though it has limited features as well unlike the one that you can get for a fee. But in any case, who cares. This is free Norton antivirus and free spyware protection. Better be protected even if it is limited protection than not being protected at all. I had tested the Spyware Doctor Starter Edition as well as the Norton Security Scan. So if you want to get free antivirus software and free anti spyware, you can download these for free from the Google Pack Beta.

You can now download device drivers for Windows 7 Beta operating system. Though the Windows 7 Beta download had already ended officially, you can still download the newest version of Microsoft's operating system from a lot of file sharing site. I tried searching for it in Torrent sites as well as Rapidshare and yes there are still a number of downloads available.

If you are already using the Windows 7 operating system, you can now download the official device drivers from Microsoft's download page for Windows 7 device drivers. You can visit Microsoft's site and search for the device driver that you need or you can simply get it here. The list is still limited and might not include a certain driver for a device that you are using since the drivers are for the beta version still. But once the final version is officially released, then you can expect to have the device drivers available. If you have already installed the Windows 7 and you can't find the device driver that you need, then use the one for Windows Vista. That should work fine except for a few that might not work at all. In that case then you will have to wait for the official release or revert to your old operating system.

If you are eyeing to get a netbook, specifically an Asus 8.9in Eee PC, better look for another model or brand. The reason is that Asus is phasing out the 8.9in Eee PCs within this year according to a company executive.

Even though a couple of high ranking official of Asus had indirectly said that the 8.9in Eee PC models will be phased out. The phasing out was mainly based on consumer preference for the 10in models which uses hard drives while the latter are using SSDs.

But whether the 8.9in Eee PCs will be phased out or not, there are still a lot of choices from the Asus Eee PC line.

The Samsung NC10 is South Korea's new entry to the world of small and cheap computers, the netbooks. But unlike most netbook, Samsung made an effort to make the NC10 distinct among its competitor netbooks. What made the Samsung NC10 distinct is its more than common keyboard. Samsung managed to fit in a larger than normal keys in the keyboard which makes it typist-friendly. If you are more into typing and you need a netbook, then definitely this is the right one for you. The downside is the touchpad is reduced to a mere 60mm x 30mm which is almost the same size with most netbooks. So why bother with this, you can always use a mouse. Another thing about the keyboard is that is is coated with ionic silver particles, whatever that is, which kills germs that lives in the spaces or even in the surface of the keyboard which makes it a number 1 choice for OC people.

The rest of the specifications are almost the same with most netbooks that are available. It is using the Intel Atom N270 processor clocked at 1.6GHz. Has a DDR2 RAM of 1GB. The NC10 is an old school when it comes to its hard drive. It has a 160GB solid-state drive which is susceptible bumps. For connectivity, it has a 10/100Mb/s Ethernet port, 802.11b/g and Bluetooth. Sadly it does not have 3G so users will have to depend on Wi-Fi. The screen is a 10.2in LED backlit display, with a 1.3MP camera mounted on the upper portion, which has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. Samsung NC10 has a dimension of 261mm x 186mm x 40mm and weighs 1.3kg.

SanDisk, a flash card developer company, is partnering with Toshiba in developing 32-nanometer, 32-gigabit flash memory chips using SanDisk's X3 and the later X4 technology.

It seems like Sandisk is moving in the right and timely direction in developing flash memory chips that are multi-celled and using the 32nm technology. This is mainly because Intel also announced that it is developing new processors using the 32nm technology.

The production of the said chips and processors will begin end of this year as what Sandisk and Intel planned. At the same time Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and IBM is in partnership on doing the same process.

Using the 32nm technology will greatly increase storage capacity and also reduce the manufacturing costs of solid-state drives and memory cards according to both companies.

PearC, a German computer manufacturer, is now selling personal computers (PCs) that have Mac OS X as the operating system. The company even has a slogan of "Der PC mit Mac OS X" ("The PC with Mac OS X"). This will be a challenge again for Apple for a Mac clone claiming to be a legal one. As PearC stated that the PC that has a Mac OS X is legal in Germany.

Currently, PearC has three configurations that it is selling. First is a PC with a dual-core processor, 750GB hard drive and a choice of GeForce 7200GS or GeForce 8400GS which sells around $650. Second is a Core 2 Quad processor PC with a Blu-ray optical drive. Buyers can also choose from a GeForce 8400GS, 9800GTX or 9800GT. Selling price is pegged at around $1000. The third will cost about $2000 and is using a Core i7 processor, 12GB of RAM and 1TB of hard drive storage space.

The battle whether it is legal to have a Mac OS X on a PC is for the courts to decide. It is Apple and PearC's battle. But as tech consumers, the questions that need to be answered is, will you buy or at least use a PC with a Mac OS X?

US TV stations may say goodbye to analog signal earlier than what was expected. TV stations are now planning to not to do analog broadcasts in as early as less than two weeks. Television viewers might as well say goodbye early to their antennas as the plan to move to digital TV is being pushed through. The US Congress is giving TV stations until June 12 to make the mandatory transition of analog to digital TV.

TV stations can turn off their analog broadcast as early as February 17 as long as the Federal Communications Commission is informed of the move. Majority of the TV stations prefer to make the early transition to minimize the cost of doing both digital and analog transmission.

The upcoming Snow Leopard, Mac OS X version 10.6, operating system from Apple will include multi-touch capabilities and location awareness according to sources. The location awareness feature will be coming from the CoreLocation framework which is currently present in iPhone 2.0 SDK. Though the CoreLocation framework exists in iPhone OS, it has never existed on Apple's Macs.

CoreLocation utilizes the built-in GPS in iPhone, cell phone-tower triangulation and the Wi-Fi positioning data from Skyhook Wireless to pinpoint the location of an iPhone. This was termed by Apple as "geographical location technology."

Currently, MacBooks does not include GPS support or any cell-phone circuitry. It do have Wi-Fi so it is assumed that Snow Leopard's CoreLocation framework will solely rely on the Wi-Fi positioning.

The rumored release date of the Mac OS 10.6.0 or Snow Leopard was first quarter of this year.

RovAir provides wireless mobile connectivity without a contract. All you have to do is avail of their data card rental.
