Microsoft, Fujitsu and Asus have settled with Australian research body Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) over its US wireless patents.
Microsoft got where it is today through its influence over manufacturers. It no longer has the control it once enjoyed.
Asus has announced the final specifications for the first Eee Box desktop version of its popular Eee PC subnotebook and it will include Windows XP, which has now been given a reprieve on some desktops, as well as Eee PC-type notebooks.
Microsoft has reportedly set strict limitations on the specifications of the cheap subnotebooks that can carry its Windows XP operating system.
At Computex 2008 in Tapei, Taiwan, the biggest buzz is about the developing new market for Netbooks, smaller than traditional notebooks but larger than PDAs -- and the revolutionary new chips to run them.
Intel demonstrated a working version of USB 3.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas last week. Here's what we can look forward to with the new technology.
If the world's largest chip manufacturer wanted to impress the world, what would it do?

You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique amongst netbooks for its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.
The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.
Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.
The wait is finally over for the ASUS Eee PC 1000, a notebook that promises to make a dent in the netbook market. It's the most well-equipped and largest in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive predecessors.
