EeePC 900 Multi-Touch Trackpad Demo

This awesome demo is making me want to buy one. But the prices of the EeePC 900 here in the Philippines are quite prohibitive. I don’t think people will shell out $800 when they can get a better deal for that price.

Do You Have a Name For Your Eee?

Since day one of acquiring my Eee, I’ve been a constant poster/lurker at the EeePH forums, and aside from the usual modding/hacking and upgrading discussions, I’ve come across one interesting thread there: Do You Have a Name For Your Eee?”

I got a couple of curious glances from other patrons and passers by. Looks like the Galaxy […]
