MSI recently announced a firmware update for their U100 model.  You can find the firmware here if you’re interested in downloading it.

For most people today, the expectation is to get a discount on the phone and sign their life …

You’ve probably heard about netbooks at one point or the other, but may be curious what they are and why they’ve suddenly become so popular.  On the other hand, you may have never heard of them and this is a formal introduction.
