Tech Monday is a feature in our local The Austin American Statesman, it is a weekly featured section about the TECH ideas, innovation and other news you can use for our large Techno Field.  Austin has become Silicon Hills, not quite riveling but with a strong presence to Silicon Valley in California.

Todays Tech Monday feature was about your laptop and pc new features..  the trend in the computer industry is now to make users feel good about their computers. The feeling when you get into a nice new car feeling, without the new car smell.  Although that maybe just around the corner. 

Some of the features are .....  drum roll pleassssseeee.                                                                                 Veriface software  which combines with hardward to make the user's face his/her password.. Sounds cool but what if I change my haircolor, my hairstyle?  Or will it be bone structure.. unanswered questions to me at this time.

The next new feature is  Gateways P-Series FX the multimedia keys are just above the standard keyboard. 

Not to be outdone, Dell has a "proximity feature" which lights up the buttons when only the user's hand is nearby.. now that I could use.

The color laptop is becoming more and more popular so its just a matter of time before we are all sporting our most favorite color of blues or greens or for those real daring souls purples and orange.

New features on an automobile are fun so I'm sure we will all be looking for the latest, newest and greatest in our laptops soon.

I am relatively tech-savvy, but I have trouble keeping up with the incredible number of changes coming out each year now.  I wouldn't mind a blue laptop, though.

Gail, I would love an orange laptop.  Or maybe a sage green one.  Maybe with cruise control and the leather seats.  On no, my technology and automobile passions are starting to overlap now!

Gail, I have to be honest I have the blue and my husband has the red.  We did the colors so we could tell them apart at a glance.  I don't know abour warm fuzzies though; usually it is more of a love/hate relationship.  Lately it has mainly been the love category though.  I'm praying that continues.

That face recognition feature sounds neat and high-tech, but it's a little too Big Brother-ish for me.  I understand the security of it, and I love new technology, but it is a bit scary when you think about it.  Do those laptops open Supra boxes as well?

Great, just what we need...color coordinating our cell phones, PDA's and the laptop so none of them look out of place!

I'm not sure I would use some the new techonology...sounds cool, but what happens if for some reason, your laptop did not recognize you? I guess that goes back to the love/hate relationship

For laptops I don't really care what color it is, I am more interested in size.  I have a small sony viao that I just love. It is over 3 years old and I will get another small viao when this one needs to be replaced.  I really like being able to take my computer with me.
