Is it safe to replace the WiFi card in my Dell Inspiron 15 with an Atheros wireless card? If so it will work?
The reason I want this is that I have to capture packets, which is not supported by my current card.

Replacing a wireless network card should be safe. Support for hardware from your operating system.

If you're running Windows XP/Vista/7 then you should be perfectly fine.

I run Linux as my primary OS and I used to have an Atheros chipset wireless NIC before it broke. It was sometimes a little hard to make it work as I needed to use the madwifi driver. This is probably not much of an issue, however, as Linux support wireless NIC has increased considerably since then.

In brief, you should be fine, just make sure your computer is off when you're swapping the NICs.

New Barnes & Noble Nook Adds Touchscreen, Improves Interface

01.06.11

As soon as I removed the new Barnes & Noble Nook from its box, I could tell that this petite e-reader was going to be a worthy challenger to the third-generation Amazon Kindle. Impressively, when I tested the Nook and its new touchscreen, I found that it does indeed out-Kindle the Kindle at its own game in some respects; but in others, the Nook falls shy of topping Amazon's e-reading staple.

The new Nook ($139 as of 7/1/2011) has been completely redesigned, yet retains the same moniker as the original Nook, which is now referred to as Nook First Edition. That year-and-a-half-old Nook missed the mark with a clunky LCD screen for navigating the E-Ink display above it. This new Nook is lighter, more svelte, and introduces Neonode's Zeforce infrared touch technology to simplify access and navigation, as well as a Wi-Fi connection.

An E-Reader for Reading

Where the Nook First Edition's weight and size made it bulky, unwieldly, and generally unpleasant to use, the new Nook is the polar opposite: It weighs 0.47 pounds--35 percent lighter than the original Nook, and slightly lighter than the Kindle (0.60 pounds). It's also more compact--6 percent thinner and more than an inch shorter the first Nook. It now measures 6.5 by 5.0 by 0.47 inches--notably smaller than its older sibling.
