When Hurricane Hugo closed in on the South Carolina Coast, with sustained winds of over 140 miles per hour, I was certain that it would miss Charleston, where we lived. I mean, that would be unreal. We couldnÂ?t be in danger. The sun rose, as always, and the sky was an incredible shade of blue. There wasnÂ?t a cloud within view. Surely we werenÂ?t having a Category 4 hurricane today. I couldnÂ?t imagine it.

The late, great Michael Jackson once sang, "It doesn't matter if you're black or white." But when it comes to your roof, it really does matter. A black (or dark) roof absorbs heat on a sunny day--which is great in the winter--and a white roof reflects the sun--which is great in the summer. But for each roofing color, those advantages turn to disadvantages as the earth moves to the other side of the sun. The black roof turns the home into a sauna in the summer, driving up cooling costs, and ...

Lenovo's
ThinkPad SL510 is just one of
many new lappies hitting the market with
Windows 7 in tow, but unlike most of the consumer-oriented machines, this pup is aimed squarely at that fellow over there looking mighty uncomfortable in the suit. Their test version, which included a 2.53GHz CPU, 3GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD and a $1,024 price tag, was found to be a real champion in terms of performance. The machine itself starts at just $520, and while the upgrades here definitely had an impact, they were also pleased with the multitouch trackpad, overall typing experience and bundled business tools. The only knocks? The "bulky, staid design" and low screen resolution, but something tells us a few of you won't see the former as a negative. Hit the read link for the full skinny.

We fully understand that the market for
18.4-inch gaming laptops is a niche one, so we suppose this all makes sense from a business perspective, but still -- we can't help but shed a tear. HP's beastly, benchmark-smashing
HDX 18 (and HDX 18t) has been forcibly removed from the outfit's website, with even cached links leading to a customization page turning up "Sorry!" portals. The marginally smaller HDX 16 remains alive and well, but it seems as if the
18-inch dv8 is your only option now when selecting a larger-than-life lappie from the folks at HP. Gotta keep keepin' on, we guess.
[Thanks, pyro92005]
