Did you ever imagine yourself working while traveling? By train, by car (of course, you not being the driver), or my any other means of transportation? If you did, what would you choose to be your tool? A laptop I would say! A very good one for this job would be the new Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q850.

If you remember, in the last post we have discussed how Microsoft’s Bing has included Tweets in its search. This was a partnership between Twitter and Microsoft and their teams. And Twitter users got crazy about it. The idea is fantastic and Microsoft had the courage to implement it. However, Microsoft’s main competitor, Google is coming into the scene. And, guess what, Twitter is also the target.

From today, the notion of real time web is not longer a myth! This idea, the idea of searching the web in real time, was almost unimaginable. Although web spiders (like the GoogleBot), spiders that crawl the web and index web pages at amazing speeds, are a thing of the present, the concept of real time web is still not understood as it should. Well, because of our bellowed Twitter, things are not in a new dimension.

If you have heard the buzz, Motorola is rumored to work on an unannounced smartphone. This interesting device should come out somewhere between late October and early December.
