Better Faster PC

If you are interested in running Ubuntu but are not sure how to partition your drive or are a bit worried about making a mistake and wiping all your important files or ruining Windows installation then Portable Ubuntu might just be exactly what you are looking for.
Portable Ubuntu is a great idea for anyone wanting to learn Linux without the difficulty a beginner might encounter, especially running a dual boot system.
Lifehacker has a great post telling you how to get into Portable Ubuntu, check it out HERE. Want to find out more about Ubuntu Linux then check out the Wikipedia entry HERE

Just had to put this in though strictly this is not a hardware blog, these little USB monitors from Mimo with a 7″ screen and 800 x 480 pixels features a touchscreen, audio in/out port, touchscreen, integrated webcam and microphone have just arrived. They are great, using only one USB cable and no need for any video cable.

Interesting article about a man who bought a second hand USB MP3 player and when he accessed it realized it contained US Military data files.

It is doubtful that they are critical and the US Military has been banning use of portable data storage since November 2008. Anyway you can read more about it HERE.

Have you got a USB drive? There are a ton of applications available today for your little portable storage device so how do you know what the best ones are?

Check out this post on Lifehacker HERE - Don’t read the post, read the comments, where readers suggest THEIR best applications that they use. Lifehacker will collate the comments and post a Top 5. I will try and remember to link to the post when it is done.

This is a really great post, testing 21 USB Flash drives and comparing the results. Found it very interesting myself as there is actually a massive difference between the speeds of the slowest and the fastest. I always assumed most flash drives would be pretty similar in speeds but after reading this post I couldn’t be more wrong.

Check it out and before you buy a new flash drive - DO SOME RESEARCH!
