Fujitsu says that its LifeBook U810 has a battery life of 5.5 hours via its 4-cell, 5200mAh lithium-ion battery. The LifeBook U810 is scheduled to hit stores in September and will be available with either Windows Vista Premium, or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition."While I am still hoping to make the Asus Eee my next ultra-portable, this certainly has some advantages.

Windows Middle East English edition

One major advantage desktop replacements hold over desktop PCs is the fact that they are portable. However, owing to their big LCD-screens and fast processors, their battery life isn't always amazing. So here's how to squeeze more life out of them, at no additional cost... 1. Batteries store power through chemical reactions that take place when they are connected to a mains power supply. This power is then employed whenever the machine is disconnected from the mains, with more power being required the more intensive applications or games you run. Despite being encased, batteries are susceptible to temperature-related damage. Ideally you should fully charge and use your laptop at room temperature (between 20- and 24-degrees Celsius); you'll get the best battery life this way. Moreover, you'll also prolong the working life span of the battery itself.

Tulie drug dogs policy gets more teeth

Students thinking of bringing drugs onto any Tularosa school property may want to think twice this school year. The dogs are coming, and that means "unannounced."

At its regular meeting on Tuesday, the Tularosa Board of Education voted unanimously to contract with Kachina Canines of Roswell for a total of six unscheduled visits to the intermediate, middle and high schools during this school year.

Of the three canine companies looked at by Superintendent Brenda Vigil, she recommended Kachina because of the references she received from other parts of the state.

"I received very good recommendations about Kachina Canines from Chaves County and Capitan," Vigil told the board.

Classrooms, lockers and vehicles will be searched when the dogs arrive on unannounced days, said Vigil.

First Look: Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

Greenpeace's timing couldn't have been more laughable. We're gathered behind the security gates of Porsche's Weissach technical center, part of a select group getting an in-depth look at running prototypes of the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. Meanwhile, a few dozen kilometers away in Zuffenhausen, protesters are brandishing signs and screaming "Climate Pigs!" in the faces of bemused Porsche executives. Apparently the pickets don't know that Porsche sports cars are considerably more fuel-efficient than the cars they compete with. And they must not realize how close Porsche engineers are to releasing hybrid technology into the market in not one, but two cars: the Porsche Cayenne sport-utility and the Porsche Panamera sedan. For several years, Porsche has been researching hybrid powertrains with VW and Audi, studying the technology with an eye toward improved fuel-efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction.

Review: Apple iPhone multimedia smartphone

We took our time to gain some perspective on the iconic Apple iPhone. Did it live up to our expectations, or did it let us down?

The Apple iPhone is the hardest phone we've had to review, and not just because of the insurmountable hype leading up to its release. The iPhone presents the user with a completely different, engaging and delightful experience, but does a great user experience make a phone great? Over the past month, we've put the phone through our extensive battery of tests, from mountain climbs to drops on city concrete to navigating highways. We even made some phone calls.

Design - Excellent

On the outside, the iPhone looks like no other phone we've seen, not even the LG KE850 Prada phone. The screen is smooth, glassy and completely scratch-proof.
