I've not had any trouble with U3 drives, but I don't like them. The pop-up drives me nuts; I hate the "helpful launcher." At least one can uninstall U3.
With the advent of Thinstall, you can now have your Microsoft Office suite or most other programs that would be useful as portable apps on your USB drive. Thinstall isn't for the faint of heart, but I can carry my Office 2007 wherever I need to go now and I don't have to worry about a computer being able to handle the docx format.
This USB keychain device is quite useful if you don't want to carry a laptop. I only use this for special reasons when my laptop's not available; this handy device does the job right. I give it a 8 out of 10.

Not just laptop batteries, but any battery of this type. It's also playing havoc with traveling videographers as they too need lots of batteries to power the cameras and lights. I can unfortunately see rental businesses starting to pop up.
Since the airlines are into DVD screens and in-flight cellular, why not provide a jack for in-flight laptop power? I would imagine for the major laptop brands it wouldn't be hard to come up with a blank that would fool the laptop into thinking a battery was there. It would probably require an adaptor, but we all carry a zillion of those anyway. What's one more?
Wireless power could be a possible solution to this.

The printer is fair. I feel it does not hold a sufficient supply of paper and the toner is past crazy. It cost over $300 for all colors and for just the black I pay $75, plus tax. This particular toner has given me 300 printed sheets and tells me I have 256 left--order now.Browse all user reviews.
I purchased two of these to do professional video editing and 3D graphics. I'm very pleased and would highly recommend.Browse all user reviews.
I am totally satisfied with my Sony XBR4 TV and have complemented it with a Bose Lifestyle 35 system. Having been spoiled with this quality, I am sure to place a smaller XBR4 in my bedroom soon.Browse all user reviews.
Don't waste your time with the free version. It essentially does nothing except attempt to sell you the version that works. The free version falls so far short of what was promised that I will pass on purchasing software from these folks.Write your own review.
This is by far the best task/project management software I have ever used. The interface is great and I've not encountered one bug, error, or glitch. I run both LAMP and Windows local servers so the requirements are no problem. A superior product--freely available.Write your own review.
