It was already a good deal when it was first announced a few weeks back, but now the $99 3G-enabled Acer Aspire One only costs $79 from RadioShack. There’s no catch, only the same obligatory 2-year contract under AT&T, but besides that, the $79 AAO is all yours for the taking in case you’re interested. We’re not sure if this means we’ll be seeing free netbooks from the likes of AT&T any time soon in the U.S., but it sure is a nice prospect. Besides, they’ll find it hard to sell old models especially now that the new ones are all over the place, anyway.

Chillblast - Fusion Stinger Review
Intel's Core i7 920 may be the slowest of the trio of new processors that the company launched late in 2008, but it has a neat trick up its sleeve. It's highly overclockable, able to reach 4GHz from its 2.66GHz standard speed on just air cooling alone, which has made it an ideal basis for system builders to build fast, relatively affordable systems.
One of the first overclocked i7 920 systems we have seen is the Fusion Stinger from Chillblast and it's ideal if all you want to do is upgrade your system box with the latest processor technology.

Foxconn competing for Apple netbook order?
Rumors of a Mac netbook are once again gaining traction as DigiTimes reports Foxconn is “in the running” among other competing firms to build such a device. Details are scant at the moment, but considering Foxconn is already responsible for making the iPhone 3G and other Apple hardware, it makes sense that the company would be tasked with producing this type of device if one is indeed in the pipeline. It is also possible that this order isn’t for a netbook, but for a next-generation iPhone or iPod touch instead.
Apple has publicly denied interest in the netbook market, questioning the usefulness of these devices in their current form, but has also said it has ideas of its own for the category. The report fuels earlier speculation about a 10-inch touch screen device and an intriguing ‘iProduct’ mentioned in the latest iPhone firmware.
