TOP 10 Graphics Card
11.01.06 (1:53 pm)   [edit]

1) ATI Radeon X1900


ATI's X1900 cards, which so far come in XT, XTX, and Crossfire versions as well, are at the top of ATI's current product line for gamers. The performance is very similar to that of GeForce 7 cards. As with earlier ATI cards, the X1900 XT is better than the plain X1900, and the XTX is better still. The X1900 features an impressive 48 shader units and some versions have 512 MB of memory, but they don't come cheap.


2) nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX


The GeForce 7900 is nVidia's premium chipset for gamers, and has several improvements over the 7800. As well as better performance, it's smaller, has fewer transistors, and generates less heat. Subsequently, it should cost less to manufacture cards using the 7900 than the 7800 in the long run, but at the moment they are quite expensive. To be sure, it's a force to be reckoned with and keeps up to the Radeon X1900 XTX on most benchmarks.

3) nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX


With 24 pixel pipelines, 8 vertex units, and an astonishing 302 million transistors, the GeForce 7800 is one of the most complex graphics processors ever built. By comparison, an Xbox GPU has 60 million transistors. Like GeForce 6 cards, the 7800 supports SLI (Scalable Link Interface), which is nVidia's dual card solution.

4) nVidia GeForce 7600 GT


Aimed at mainstream gamers rather than the high-end of the market, the GeForce 7600 is based on nVidia's new 90-nm G73 graphics core. Although it has half as many pixel shaders as the 7900, it offers performance very close to Radeon X1800 cards on some game benchmarks. Because the new core is more economical to make, 7600 cards are definitely among the best values on the market at the moment.

5) ATI Radeon X1800 XT


The X1000 series from ATI so far includes the X1900, X1800, X1600, and X1300. The X1800 XT is one of their premium offerings with ultra-threaded 3D architecture, improved memory controller efficiency, and Shader Model 3 support. It outperforms the GeForce 7800 GTX on many benchmarks despite having fewer pipelines, and the core hums along at 625 MHz.

6) nVidia GeForce 6800 GT


nVidia's GeForce 6800 series represented the largest leap in game card performance to come along in years. They support DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 3.0 and are available for both AGP and PCI Express. Note that the 6800 Ultra wants two auxiliary power connectors, so you might want to go with the 6800 GT, which only needs one. An excellent card that should get more affordable now that the 7800s are out.

7) ATI Radeon X850 XT


A slightly older chipset from ATI targetted at gamers is the X850, which is available in Pro, XT, and XT Platinum Edition (PE) versions. There is also a Crossfire Edition for those of you interested in running a system with two graphics cards, though this is prohibitively expensive for most purposes. The X850 can be found for AGP and it's a nice choice for a relatively affordable upgrade if Shader Model 3.0 support isn't important to you.

8) nVidia GeForce 6600 GT


Although very similar to the 6800 cards, including DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 3.0 support, nVidia has made some changes to make the 6600 series more affordable. They have fewer pixel pipelines, fewer pixel shader units, and the memory bus has been reduced to 128-bit from 256-bit, but they still offer exceptional game performance. AGP versions of this card are also available, and recent price drops have made the 6600 GT a great value.

9) ATI Radeon X1600 XT


The Radeon X1600 is a mid-range chipset from ATI aimed at those seeking something easier on the wallet than the X1800 and X1900, but better performing than the X1300. It is very comparable in both speed and price to GeForce 6600 technology. Although the X800 is a little faster in some cases, you may want to go with an X1600 because it has Shader Model 3.0 support, which X800 and X850s do not have.

10) ATI Radeon X1300 Pro


Radeon X1300s are designed for gamers on a tight budget. They don't really compare in performance to other cards on this list, but they do support Shader Model 3.0 and they run most games adequately at lower settings. I recommend the Pro model because it's a little faster than the vanilla X1300. With some shopping around and maybe a rebate, you should be able to find an X1300 Pro card for under $100.

 
Is a voting machine a good-thing
11.01.06 (1:13 pm)   [edit]
Technology is a two edged sword. Technology can grant enormous power to the wielder. But dependence on technology, and the unintended consequences I talked about, can be an achilles heel. A voting machine can be a good thing and a bad thing. Let’s not kid ourselves though. Technology is already involved in the voting process. It’s in the optical scanners and the card readers. But what is causing a ruckus is that we are moving to a completely computerized voting process. And that has already caused some major problems.

“In Fairfax County, VA, in 2003, a programming error in the electronic voting machines caused them to mysteriously subtract 100 votes from one particular candidates’ totals.

In San Bernardino County, CA in 2001, a programming error caused the computer to look for votes in the wrong portion of the ballot in 33 local elections, which meant that no votes registered on those ballots for that election. A recount was done by hand.

In Volusia County, FL in 2000, an electronic voting machine gave Al Gore a final vote count of negative 16,022 votes.

The 2003 election in Boone County, IA, had the electronic vote-counting equipment showing that more than 140,000 votes had been cast in the Nov. 4 municipal elections. The county has only 50,000 residents and less than half of them were eligible to vote in this election.”

Quote by Bruce Schneier - ps, if you haven’t read Bruce’s blog, you really should! As Schneier states, computer bugs, complexity, etc. can have serious errors. And those errors can occur with a single candidate. That means that the problem or error won’t effect everyone - and that’s the sort of problem you don’t want. But the past issues don’t end there.

The Scoop wrote up an excellent expose from author Bev Harris, in the wake of the last election. Here is a brief excerpt from Rob, a technician who worked on the Diebold machines. I think this illustrates the gravity of the situation:

‘Harris: “So what is your opinion about the certification testing?”

Behler: “No, it’s not just that. NOBODY even tested it! When I found that out — I mean you can’t not test a fix — I worked for a billing company, and if I’d put a fix on that wasn’t tested I’d have gotten FIRED! You have to make sure whatever fix you did didn’t break something else. But they didn’t even TEST the fixes before they told us to install them.

“Look, we’re doing this and 50-60 percent of the machines are still freezing up! Turn it on, get one result. Turn it off and next time you turn it on you get a different result. Six times, you’d get six different results.”‘

That’s not very comforting. And I was shocked to learn that they had actually dialed out to remote servers for software updates. That makes me really nervous. I would have thought that segregating these machines from a broader network would be a primary concern.

So the machines in and of themselves have been riddled with bugs and accuracy issues. But that’s not the most unnerving issue with voting machines. And it’s not, in my humble opinion, the outside hacker that we need to be gravely concerned about. I think the most troubling aspect of the whole mess is the inside game. What keeps politicians from developing relationships with these computer voting companies? That is very hard to track. In fact, the Hill published a stunning article regarding Senator Hagel of Nebraska (R). Senator Hagel owned $1-$5 M in financial holdings in the McCarthy Group, “a private merchant banking company.” This is what the Hill found:

“ES&S is a subsidiary of McCarthy Group Inc., which is jointly held by the holding firm and the Omaha World-Herald Co., which publishes the state’s largest newspaper. The voting machine company makes sophisticated optical scan and touch-screen vote-counting devices that many states have begun buying in recent years.

An official at Nebraska’s Election Administration estimated that ES&S machines tallied 85 percent of the votes cast in Hagel’s 2002 and 1996 election races.

In 1996, ES&S operated as American Information Systems Inc. (AIS). The company became ES&S after merging with Business Records Corp. in 1997.”

Hagel didn’t report the underlying holding in the McCarthy Group. And this comes off as a blatant cover up. And how is this for understatement?

“In a disclosure form filed in 1996, covering the previous year, Hagel, then a Senate candidate, did not report that he was still chairman of AIS for the first 10 weeks of the year, as he was required to do.

Hagel’s ties to ES&S go beyond his financial stake. He served as its chairman when it was named AIS from the early ‘90s until March of 1995. He also was an investor in AIS Investors Inc. until the beginning of 1995, McCarthy said.

Hagel also served as president of McCarthy & Co, the financial advisory group, from July of 1992 until the beginning of 1996.

Campaign finance reports show that McCarthy has served as treasurer for Hagel for Nebraska and later Hagel for Senate from 1999 until as recently as December of 2002.

McCarthy’s son, Kevin, works in Hagel’s press shop.

Hagel’s unrecorded stake in the voting systems company poses an apparent conflict of interest on election reform issues.”

This is the type of thing that scares me the most. It is the deal made in the back room, with large amounts of money. In any effect, the debate is going to continue. Follow this link to read a quick list of pros and cons of voting machines. You may also wish to check out BlackBoxVoting.org. They are “the official consumer protection group for elections, funded by citizen donations.”

Do you really need that latest gadget?
11.01.06 (1:11 pm)   [edit]
Some gadgets improve the quality of your life. Others sit in your attic.

How much is too much? When it comes to technological devices, I find myself asking that question more and more.

Our society is filled with iPods, Treos, Bluetooth devices, cellphones, laptops, satellite radios, global tracking devices, TiVos, flat-screen TVs, universal remotes, Game Boys, PlayStations, Xboxes, Sidekicks - the list goes on and on.

Now, I am no Luddite. I've always been an early adopter of technology. I had a cellphone in my car in 1990. I paid almost $500 for a 14.4-baud modem in 1993 and marveled at how much faster it made my Internet connection. I created the first newspaper site on the Internet in Canada in 1994. I have two Apple Newtons in my attic, in almost pristine condition. In 2001, I even purchased an "Audrey," a machine designed to be the first "kitchen computer" or Web-appliance. These days, it's keeping the Newtons company upstairs.

It's not that I don't appreciate the occasional new device. But as time passes, I find my appetite for new technology fading. Increasingly, if it doesn't serve a useful purpose in my life, I'm not interested.

For instance, while I've used an iPod, I don't own one. When I want to listen to music, I play a CD. (I even have a machine that plays - gasp - my old records made of vinyl.) Or I listen to this thing called the radio, which seems to offer a wide variety of all kinds of music.

But for me, the device that falls into the "too much" category is the BlackBerry, "a wireless e-mail solution for mobile professionals." About 5.5 million of these machines have been sold, according to Research in Motion, the BlackBerry's manufacturer. Many of my friends now have one - and swear their world would fall apart if they could no longer use one.

A Sprint television ad for BlackBerry actually makes fun of how this small machine can take over your life. One man, talking about his BlackBerry's new GPS tracking feature, says he would be lost without it. A friend takes the device from him to look at it, and suddenly the owner acts lost, not recognizing his surroundings. He is not restored to normal until his BlackBerry is returned.

A good friend of mine, Sue Gardner, also a journalist, uses a BlackBerry like I use a fork. The machine has become an indispensable part of her life, made necessary by a job that requires her to be in constant contact with her office. As head of the CBC's news website in Canada (CBC.ca), she no longer views her BlackBerry as simply a business tool, it has become - in some Star Trek Borg-like fashion - an extension of her arm. Sue has been assimilated. And she knows it.

"I keep it on a very short leash," she told me over the telephone from Toronto last weekend. "I bought it in 2000, and since 2000, it has never been more than four feet from me."

She even knows that it may be more of a security blanket than a truly necessary tool.

"For instance, when Saddam Hussein was captured very early in the morning on a weekend, I was home in bed," she said. "There was nothing I could do about that - there were already people in place to take care of it. The work gets done, I don't really need to know. So there really is no rational explanation for my BlackBerry. But I love it."

Good-natured kidding aside, I believe the dividing line between just enough and too much ultimately has to be a utilitarian one.

Sure, sometimes you can buy something because it's cool or fun. Or like my friend Sue, because it offers some intangible quality that you relish. But even people who purchase iPods do so because it makes the act of listening to music easier.

For me, my cellphone is my Borg device because it keeps me connected to my family, my kids' school, my wife's office, etc. But I'm not interested in owning a Bluetooth earpiece for the simple luxury of hands-free talking. I just don't need it.

And that measuring stick should apply to every technology purchase you make: Do you really need this?

For example, if you are buying a new computer this season, think about what you really need it to do. Far too many people who are interested only in e-mail and Internet surfing buy a machine that could power the space program. Simply put, they spend way too much money.

Be smart. Find out how a new gadget will improve your life before buying it. Or just let it be. Certainly by letting technology's advance pass you by, you won't worry about having too much of it.

  • Integrated Class 1 Bluetooth technology with imaging, printing, peer to peer gaming profiles
You've probably seen the wildly popular Motorola RAZR V3 in someone's hand before. With the quad-band GSM RAZR V3i, Motorola has made it even better. The sexy design is still here, as is the all-metal construction. This time, though, the phone boasts an updated and streamlined design, enhanced video capture and playback capabilities, a 1.23 megapixel camera, and a hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot.



Put a little luxury in your pocket with the RAZR V3i Dolce & Gabbana.
And now when you thought it couldn't get any better, Dolce & Gabbana and Motorola have partnered up to release the latest version of the v3i: The RAZR V3i D & G. The phone unites the elegance and unique design of Motorola V3i with the individual style and attitude of D & G. The V3i DG features the famous RAZR slim shape, includes an anodized aluminum gold finish that reflects your impeccable taste, and its music player runs on Apple's popular iTunes software.

Design
At .55 inches thick, the RAZR V3i is virtually the same thickness as the original RAZR. And like the original RAZR, the phone's design takes the standard clamshell form factor to the next level with an impressive, fully-anodized aluminum construction. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors dominates the inside of the top cover. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 full-color display that can display caller ID pictures, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The 1.23 megapixel camera lens is housed above this display. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side for volume control.

Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. A mini-USB port is provided, which, while useful for fast data transfer, can also be used with compatible USB stereo headsets. Note that the phone does not have a standard 2.5mm headset jack.

And don't forget, Dolce & Gabbana and Motorola wouldn't think of offering a phone without making available a special edition gold plated Motorola Bluetooth H700 Headset. Coordinate your phone and Bluetooth headset in style.

Calling Features
The RAZR V3i's internal phone book can hold up to 1000 contacts while the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. For times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear while voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. Speaker-independent technology allows any speaker to dial numbers with the voice dialing system. And because the RAZR V3i is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.



A 1.3 megapixel camera at the top of the phone's cover bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The RAZR V3i is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. There's also a built-in Web browser for mobile Web downloads and browsing via your carrier's GPRS-based data service. If you need email on the go, the V3i comes with an email client that supports IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email standards. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the RAZR V3i including a calculator with currency converter, a calendar and an alarm clock. The phone can also be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC.

Imaging and Entertainment
The V3i's 1.3 megapixel camera bridges the gap between phones and quality digital cameras. The digital zoom-enabled camera is also designed to capture video. You can even print your shots on a Bluetooth-enabled printer. Embedded animated screensavers and full screen wallpapers are built-in so you can set up the RAZR V3i to suit your tastes. The phone supports games, as well as gaming connectivity via Bluetooth.

Into bringing your music with you everywhere you go? With the V3i D & C's hot-swappable MicroSD memory card slot, you can stylishly take all of your favorite music with you. Your music library is now limited only by how much memory you bring along. And don't forget, the V3i DC's music player runs on one of the most popular music software system's of all time-- Apple's iTunes!

Vital Statistics
The Motorola RAZR V3i Dolce & Gabbana weighs 3.53 ounces and measures 3.86 x 2.09 x .55 inches.

Greenpeace booted from MacExpo
10.28.06 (8:25 am)   [edit]
Environmentalist organization Greenpeace was kicked out of the MacExpo being held in London this week due to complaints by Expo-goers about the organization's behavior on the floor. Greenpeace had purchased a 3-day booth at the MacExpo to showcase their "Green My Apple" campaign, which was meant to raise awareness about potentially toxic chemicals used in Apple products. They were also handing out organic apples, flyers, and signing up Expo-goers to challenge Apple to "go green."

Greenpeace has been hounding Apple for the last few months, first when its environmental ranking report came out in August, then in September when the "Green My Apple" campaign launched, and now with the booth at the MacExpo. The complaints about Greenpeace came from nine individuals who were attending the show in London. Bob Denton of the XPO Group, organizers of the MacExpo, told setteB.IT that he had received a complaint that Greenpeace members had photographed an infant with an apple and a flyer against the mother's wishes. Other reports claim that members from Greenpeace even replaced the promotional materials from other exhibitors with their own. Greenpeace members were then asked several times times to restrict their activities to their booth, but after continuing to force apples and flyers upon show-goers, they were finally asked to leave.

After being removed from the show on Thursday, angry Greenpeace members vowed to be back. True to their word, Greenpeace showed up today at Underground Station Kensington Olympia near the MacExpo to hand out more apples and flyers, but reportedly caused a disturbance once again and were removed from the station by the London Transport Police.

Did Greenpeace have a place at the MacExpo? One Greenpeace campaigner, Iza Kruszewska, complained that being kicked out of the expo was "totally over the top," and that "Apple refuses to address our criticisms on their products, both for the recycling and for the use of harmful chemicals. Instead of hiding their head in the sand, Apple should be a world leader in the greening of the electronics industry, not lagging behind." However, reports say that the actions taken against Greenpeace by XPO Group were all due to personal complaints and that there was no protest against Greenpeace from any of the companies involved in the Expo, including Apple. Apple made no official statement about Greenpeace's removal, however they apparently advised XPO Group to use this statement: "Greenpeace violated MacExpo exhibitor agreement by booking a stand at the show with a false name. After several complaints MacExpo asked Greenpeace to leave the show."

cocaine energy drink

Cocaine Energy Drink is the hottest new product to hit the market. It’s creating HUGE buzz in the news and is extremely controversial. Some people don’t like the name, while others think the Cocaine Energy Drink comes too close to the feeling of being on cocaine. The drink has over 3 times the caffeine that any energy drink on the market currently contains., and a slight throat numbing effect. This Cocaine Energy drink is sold out every where and extremely difficult to find. While some legislators and activists are trying to stop the Cocaine Drink from hitting store shelves others are scrambling to find it and try it. Some people describe it as a Fruity atomic fireball others like, some don’t. But with such a huge amount of caffeine the energy rush is definitely something to be careful with!

Defining Next Gen Football Gaming
10.14.06 (1:16 pm)   [edit]


It means that FIFA is a # 1 priority for EA and that we wanted to answer your most important requests for Next Gen offerings:
- responsiveness and a great feel
- Athletic motion and a realistic simulation
- Football Intelligence and variability

This is why we decided 2 years ago to rebuild a completely new football game engine. It is our biggest investment in the football business to date.

Developing this new generation technology took us more than 100,000 hours: the equivalent of 66.700 football matches played back to back. We firmly believe that it will set new standards and it already opens many doors for next gen gameplay.

Sponsored Links: Project4Hire.com is the place to find Freelance Programmers, Web Designers, Graphic Artists, IT Professionals, Translators, Writers, Consultants & other Freelance Professionals. If you have a project you need help on, you’ve come to the right place. Find qualified freelancers willing to do the job within your budget! Post your project for free and receive bids.

This new technology powers FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 and is a combination of:
• a revolutionary Animation Engine;
• a new physics engine that manages player biomechanics and ball behavior;
• a new data driven AI system that reproduces human decision-making.

This is the start of a bright future. The new FIFA engine will do for Gameplay what Fight Night did for Graphics on Next Gen. Our goal on Next Gen is to blur the line between reality and the virtual world. So welcome to our world!

The first element was developing an animation tool called ANT which allows us to create player movement and behavior that you have never experienced before:

Authentic motion and athletic performance are possible due to the real time calculation of realistic human biomechanics:
• Momentum: the player movement takes into account the physics of the human body. You will notice the leaning of the body as he is accelerating or turning
• Foot planting shows the real time calculation of the foot positioning and of the body movements thanks to the technology Inverse Kinematics.

We also developed a better “FEEL” mainly driven by a great responsiveness:
• The next gen player is more responsive as he can interrupt his animations at any time and then blend into the next animation.

It creates unprecedented realism for how the players move around the pitch, how they behave and how they respond to game situations and other players. It also helped us eliminate things like foot sliding and unrealistic stops and turns. Creating this level of authentic athletic performance is only possible with the power of next gen hardware and is really a first for sports games. The key is that it really supports the gameplay as it gives to the gamer in real time the exact information to react and make the right decision. It gives context to the action.

Our philosophy is that your first experience with FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 is as important as the 200th match. During your first experience, you will discover that:

• The motion reacts to the control inputs with accurate human biomechanics
• You will also quickly notice that the ball is alive! It is no longer attached to the foot like an elastic. The reason is that with this new engine, the ball is not baked into the animation any more.
• For years, you have asked us to focus on the realism of the ball. You will see that the ball is driven by realistic physics: it has curve, spin, etc ...

As a result, you will need to relearn how to play FIFA, to discover the new and advanced controls. As you play more games, you will discover the depth of the new engine:
- Strategy, tactics, intelligence!

In fact, the power of the Xbox 360 enables us to apply all the key algorithms of the engine to all 22 players in real time. One of these algorithms is our new AI system.

Our new AI architecture includes a decision layer that takes into account what happened before and what could happen after the action. This gives us accurate context and reactions at the right time. The 22 players now have a brain. So as a result: the game is non-deterministic and each situation is unique.

We also focused on player individuality: Each player now has 35 unique attributes and traits amongst 45 different behaviors. A trait is a tendency. IE: shooting from far.
We will talk more on this in the next blog entry!

As you play, you will also witness how beautiful the game looks: I wanted to mention that FIFA has always been the beautiful and authentic game. Once again, the visuals and the presentation talk to football fans and are stunning. We are passionate about this sport and want to show it!

-Click here for larger image

Another important goal was to add depth into the game. So we developed game modes to:
- challenge you: Challenge Mode
- immerse you in the real world of football: Manager Mode
- enable you to have fun in multiplayer: Lounge Mode

More blogs will present you these features in greater depth.

Finally, we will present you another key innovation for FIFA 07: Our Online offering is truly unique. We are football fans first and we all support a club. We live and breathe for our club. Well, we are now connected to it. You will discover this in the Online Blog. So FIFA 07 on Xbox 360 becomes the singular destination for a football fan!

To recap:
FIFA 07 Next Gen is powered by a new football engine and features:
- Athletic performance and responsiveness
- Realistic physics based intelligent simulation
- Authenticity and deep modes
- An unequalled online experience for football fans

These are very exciting times and this is just the beginning; we built the foundations for a very powerful engine. Check back weekly to read more detailed information from our team on the innovations you can expect to see in FIFA 07 on Xbox 360.

I hope you enjoy our insights - we look forward to reading your comments!

Libya to Buy 1.2 Million $100 Laptops
10.12.06 (7:09 am)   [edit]


Most people would likely not think of Libya as the beacon of technology in education, but if the government has its way it could soon be. The New York Times said Wednesday that the nation is planning to purchase 1.2 million "$100 laptops" for its school-age children.

The country's government signed a $250 million deal with the One Laptop Per Child project, which would cover the cost of the units plus the necessary servers, training and satellite Internet connections. The rollout should be completed by June 2008.

If the project is successful, the country could become the first to offer the simple laptops to its students. Other agreements are in the works with countries like Argentina, Brazil, Thailand and others; however, nothing has been finalized in those countries as of yet.

Libya's move is only the latest of several aimed at opening up the country after years of isolation, and follows others that are meant to soften the country's public image. Leader Moammar Gadhafi publicly denounced terrorism in 2003 and opened up the country in hopes of bolstering Libya's struggling economy.

Production of the laptops is not expected to begin until the middle of next year, although test units would be shipped next month to participants. While the Linux-powered laptop will initially cost $150, it is expected to eventually drop in price to $100 or perhaps even lower.
 
Nokia plans WiMAX cell phones
10.12.06 (6:57 am)   [edit]
The tether tying cell phones to cellular networks will be further loosened in 2008, when Nokia introduces its first WiMAX-capable cellular phones. Nokia isn't releasing too many details on the handsets other than the fact that they will work with the mobile version of the WiMAX standard.

Officially known by its 802.16 monikers, WiMAX comes in two flavors: fixed location and mobile. 802.16REVd handles the fixed-position WiMAX, which promises wide-area wireless connectivity with DSL-type speeds. 802.16e-2005 is the mobile version and promises similar speeds for applications and devices needing something more than a fixed-point connection.

WiMAX is slowly spreading its wireless tendrils, with some installations in Europe and a handful under way in North America. Recently, Samsung, Intel, Motorola, and Sprint Nextel joined forces to build a national WiMAX network using Sprint Nextel's spectrum and cell towers with hopes of a 2008 launch.

In addition to announcing the handsets, Nokia said it will begin selling the Flexi WiMAX Base Station in 2007. Targeted at WiMAX network operators, the Base Station uses a small and modular design which Nokia says can lessen the costs of deploying WiMAX networks. "As the world is going wireless, we believe the Nokia Flexi WiMAX Base Station offers broadband operators an easy and trusted way to offer wireless Internet connectivity to their customers anytime, anywhere," said Nokia SVP of Radio Networks Ari Lehtoranta. "Nokia is a strong believer in having a multiradio strategy that gives operators a future-proof solution and the flexibility to choose different technologies as they evolve."

Nokia currently offers a couple of cell phone models that can also use 802.11b/g for VoIP calls. It has also begun a pilot program for what it calls Unlicensed Mobile Access, where calls are routed seamlessly between WiFi and traditional cell networks, depending on which is the best option. With a handset that can work with WiFi, mobile WiMAX, and cell networks, mobile phone users would have even more options for how to place calls, perhaps to the dismay of the cellular providers.

Nokia says its UMA phones are no threat to cellular networks, but as WiMAX networks become more commonplace, it's not out of the question that many users will be able to dodge the cell networks altogether in favor of VoIP calls made with WiFi- and WiMAX-capable handsets. With Intel today introducing its first system-on-a-chip solution capable of supporting both fixed and mobile networks, we're going to begin seeing hardware that offers more options in terms of wireless connectivity than ever before. Now if only the WiMAX deployments would speed up
 
Samsung SCH-B600 Has a 10-Megapixel Camera Inside
10.11.06 (6:50 am)   [edit]


Here's what Samsung is calling "the world's first super camera phone," the Samsung SCH-B600. That's a 10-megapixel digital camera in there, and the lens is long enough to let it zoom 3x optically. A neat trick: the phone is 6mm thinner and 10g lighter than Samsung's 7-megapixel V770 camera phone it introduced last year. It works just like a regular digital camera, too, with autofocus, a 2.2-inch 240x320 LCD display and video at 320x240 and 30fps. The bad news is that it will initially only be available in Korea for $900.

Well, it's about time somebody rolled out a decent digital camera inside a cell phone, and even though this one will only be only available in Korea for an exorbitant price, it's just the next shot in the ongoing war to place real cameras inside cellphones, and not just a bunch of unusable blurry bullshit. But that megapixel number doesn't tell the whole story. Wonder if the lens is any good, or those sensors gathering the light...? – Charlie White

Check out the detailed photos and official Samsung press release, after the jump.

Samsung's Official Press Release:



SEOUL, KOREA, Oct 10th, 2006: Samsung reinforces its technology leadership by launching the world's first 10 megapixel mobile phone (model: SCH-B600) in Korean market.

Samsung reached another milestone in camera phones by launching 10 megapixel camera phone, which was unveiled at CeBIT in March this year. Samsung has been the first to introduce mobile phone with embedded camera in 2000. Samsung has also launched the world's first 5 megapixel camera phone in October 2004 ; the world's first 7 megapixel camera phone in July 2005.

Samsung's 10 megapixel camera phone (SCH-B600) is 6mm thinner and 10g lighter than the 7 megapixel camera phone (SCH-V770) and sets itself apart from its previous megapixel camera phones by combining mobile TV capability in Satellite standard.

The B600 offers the same level of picture-taking sophistication that a 10 megapixel digital camera offers. The camera function includes 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also has auto focus and a flash unit that performs optimally for 10 megapixel photographs.

Also, the B600 comes fitted with a LED autofocus feature which assists users to capture clear, crisp photos even in dark settings. Located next to the lens, the LED autofocus automatically determines the distance and utilizes the appropriate focus setting for optimal photo shooting.

The B600 also supports white balance, manual focus, continuous picture-taking, and interval picture-taking functions.

It also supports Bluetooth which enables users to send pictures wirelessly to other mobile phones, printers or to Bluetooth headsets.

The high color Reproduction TFT-LCD produces the highest possible display for its size. The photo-fine chromic LCD can reproduce 16 million colors, virtually any color found in nature, earning it the "True Color" appellation. Moving pictures can be recorded in QVGA resolution at 15-30 frames per second. Users can watch live TV in crisp picture through Satellite DMB function.

It also supports external memory (MMCmicro) in addition to its internal memory. The mobile phone supports a TV-out function where users can connect their phones to view still or motion pictures.
The B600 comes with a design reminiscent of a real digital camera. The front is designed as a bar-type mobile phone, while the back side is used as the digital camera.

Other advanced functions in the B600 include an MP3 player, business card reader, and 128 polyphonic sounds.

The price of Samsung B600 is around 900,000 won (about $ 900) in Korea."

YouTube: From gags to riches
10.11.06 (4:54 am)   [edit]


Twenty months ago, a pair of twentysomething buddies founded a company above a California pizzeria that let people post their favourite video clips, ranging from stupid pet tricks to rotund Plasticine hippos that sing.

It was a wildly improbable business model, laced with the threat of copyright infringement lawsuits and stiff competition. But it worked.

YouTube Inc. agreed Monday to be swallowed by Google Inc. for $1.65-billion (U.S.), a deal that may mark one of the fastest Internet growth stories since the tech heyday of the 1990s.

“It's nothing short of phenomenal,” said Rick Broadhead, a Toronto-based technology author and analyst who believes video is the next big thing on the Internet. “They really did come out of nowhere and, very quickly, became a household name.”

People now view the site's videos — which range from hokey homemade clips to TV show segments — more than 100 million times a day. Meanwhile, the number of unique visitors — roughly equivalent to the number of individuals with unique Web addresses who visit the site — has exploded to 72 million in August from 2.8 million a year earlier, according to comScore Networks.As a result, YouTube has become one of the most visited websites in the world.

Even more astonishing is that its popularity arose from plain old word of mouth.

“I can't recall a brand that advanced as quickly as YouTube has, into our consciousness and our awareness, without much marketing,” Mr. Broadhead said.

“Think about a brand like McDonald's or Coca-Cola, it took them years. YouTube has become part of our vocabulary in less than two years.”

Even eight-year-old Google, the world's largest search engine, seems a dinosaur by comparison.

Google has been trying to build its video business, but hasn't met with nearly the success of its smaller rival.

In announcing its largest-ever acquisition Monday, Google said YouTube will still operate independently “to preserve its successful brand and passionate community.” To that end, YouTube will keep its headquarters and all of its 67 employees.

All this fuss from a firm that subsisted on $11.5-million in venture capital in an austere office above a San Mateo, Calif., pizzeria until recently moving to more spacious quarters in nearby San Bruno.

The pair reportedly met when they worked at PayPal, the on-line payment site that has since been acquired by eBay. Today, Chad Hurley, a 29-year-old, long-haired father of two, is YouTube's chief executive. Steven Chen, a 27-year-old native of Taiwan who sports gold earrings, is the chief technology officer.

While most videos they post are homemade, the site also features volumes of copyrighted material — a problem that has caused some critics to predict the startup eventually would be sued into oblivion, much like the once-popular music-sharing site Napster.

But Mr. Hurley and Mr. Chen have spent months cozying up with major media executives in an effort to persuade them that YouTube could help them make more money by helping them connect with the growing number of people who spend most of their free time on the Internet.

That conciliatory approach has recently yielded several licensing and promotional agreements that have eased some of the copyright concerns while providing the company with some financial breathing room until it becomes profitable.

A growing number of movie and music companies figure YouTube's mammoth popularity may eventually work to their advantage.

As its negotiations with Google neared fruition, YouTube announced earlier Monday new partnerships with Universal Music Group, CBS Corp. and Sony BMG Music Entertainment. Those alliances followed a similar arrangement announced last month with Warner Music Group Inc.

The truce with Universal represented a particularly significant breakthrough because the world's largest record company had threatened to sue YouTube for copyright infringement less than a month ago.

Monday's announced union makes strategic sense for both Google and YouTube, Mr. Broadhead said.

“It's like macaroni and cheese,” he said. “It's a marriage made in heaven: you've got the advertising expertise that Google has and the video expertise that YouTube has.”

To that end, Monday's deal is a blow to rivals such as Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp. who also want in on the game, he added.
 
Google awards contest open to students
10.10.06 (5:15 pm)   [edit]

Students seeking national recognition, an extra something to put in their resumes or just a place to write down their creative thoughts now have the opportunity they've been waiting for.

They can just go go Google Gadget.

Currently, Google is holding an award program for all undergraduate and graduate university students across the nation to create their own personal 'gadget' that can be submitted in a variety of categories.

Google Gadgets are applications that personalize Google homepages, Google Desktop and Google Page Creator, Adam Sah, architect for Google Gadgets, said.

Sponsored Links: Project4Hire.com is the place to find Freelance Programmers, Web Designers, Graphic Artists, IT Professionals, Translators, Writers, Consultants & other Freelance Professionals. If you have a project you need help on, you’ve come to the right place. Find qualified freelancers willing to do the job within your budget! Post your project for free and receive bids.

"Basically a Google Gadget is a mini version of a Web page," Sah said. "It has your own URL and you can submit the gadget in a normal directory. There isn't much to it."

After a popularity explosion of Google Gadgets last December, this award program was simply an extension of what Google was already doing, Sah said.

"These gadgets are a new way to express yourself on the Internet, and this is a great way of getting people aware of this," he said.

Each gadget is submitted into a different category of most useful gadget, most intelligent gadget, gadget most likely to help you get a date, most addictive gadget, prettiest gadget and best overall gadget. The winner of each category will receive a trophy and will be promoted on each Google personalized homepage.

Nicole Peterson (sophomore-mechanical engineering) said she would be interested in entering the awards program.

"I am an engineering major, and this would be good to have on a resume," Peterson said. "It shows initiative and creativity on my part."

Each student can submit as many gadgets as they desire to any of the categories. After the gadgets are submitted, the creator is allowed to go back and change anything he or she does not like about their design.

The award program is not limited to any specific major because gadgets are so easy to create and understand, Sah said.

"This is so we can encourage all people to come up with interesting ideas that we couldn't come up with on our own," Sah said. "Young people have really great ideas that the pros don't have."

The information sciences and technology (IST) department offers classes to aid students in making a gadget, Gerry Santoro, assistant IST professor, said.

"We offer classes that provide the background in programming design and skill concepts for this contest," Santoro said. "But it's really up to the student to apply these tools to creating a Google Gadget."

Students are also encouraged to enter the awards program for the chance to enhance their resumes.

IST Internship Coordinator Madhavi Kari said she believes the awards program is very beneficial to students.

"I think any type of experience, especially for technical students, to have the opportunity to get involved with Google is great," Kari said. "It will serve as an ice breaker and conversation starter for students in interviews and be a great thing to put on their resume."

Although some students think the awards program is beneficial for some people, they are not interested in applying.

Tommy Cropper (freshman-political science) said, "I think there are a lot of really computer-savvy students, and it would be a good opportunity for them."

Matt Opremcak (junior-IST) said even though he is an IST major, he will not enter the awards program.

"I just don't have enough time to sit down and do that," he said.

Santoro said he believes the awards program to be a good opportunity for all students.

"That kind of positive publicity is a great thing that can really help your career and can open doors that you may have never anticipated," he said.

Beware iPod thieves, gadget fans warned
10.10.06 (8:07 am)   [edit]

Gadget fans are being warned to take more precautions when using their MP3 players and mobile phones in public by a new government advertising campaign.

The common sense message of the 'keep it safe' campaign warns people not to leave their mobile at the bar when they play pool and keep MP3 players concealed on the Tube.

Sponsored Links: Project4Hire.com is the place to find Freelance Programmers, Web Designers, Graphic Artists, IT Professionals, Translators, Writers, Consultants & other Freelance Professionals.

This type of crime often happens in or around public transport so the posters will mainly appear on the London Underground and outside train and bus stations, where people are likely to use their mobiles and MP3 players. The campaign will also feature on petrol-pump nozzles and there will be television and radio adverts across England and Wales.

Police and security minister Vernon Coaker said, while the risk of becoming a victim of crime is at its lowest for 25 years, there are now more mobile phones than people in the UK so there are more opportunities for thieves.

The campaign will focus on 27 robbery "hotspots" identified by the British Crime Survey, including the London areas of Greenwich, Lewisham and Tower Hamlets. Out of the 27 hotspots, 15 are within the Greater London area, although Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester are also singled out as having high robbery rates.

The campaign has run through the autumn and winter of the last three years, and is launched to coincide with the start of the new university year.

Students laden with iPods, laptops and other fancy gadgets are vulnerable and thus one of the key audiences this campaign is targeted at, a Home Office spokesman said.

Hardwood Laminate Prefinished Engineered Flooring

Hardwood Flooring Wood Floors Laminate Flooring Engineered Prefinished Discount

The sunny, care-free days of summer have drifted away and now it is time to get ready for the colorful falling leaves and crisp, cool, windy nights that follow the autumn season. With the season transition and the holidays soon approaching, it is a great time to bring nature’s warm colors, tones and hues from the outside into your home, floor decorating experts say.

Hardwoodbrokers.com, a leading manufacturer of high-end, hardwood flooring, announces its Exotic Series of hardwood flooring. This new line brings striking species of hardwood from areas of South America and Africa, including Brazilian Cherry/Jatoba, Santos/Cabreuva, Sapele and Tigerwood. These four species of wood are rich in tone and provide a warmer, cozier ambiance to any setting.

The beauty of laminate flooring, however, is more than just skin deep. It is made from wood products and plastics that are compressed and bonded under high pressure to form an incredibly hard plank with an aluminum-oxide finish that is almost “as hard as diamonds”. “It is nearly impossible to stain, it doesn’t fade, never needs waxing or polishing and will probably never wear through,” says Marc Henderson, CEO of Hardwoodbrokers.com.

Raise your home value simply by investing in flooring
10.08.06 (10:31 pm)   [edit]


Want to significantly increase your home's asking price? Invest in new flooring!

Investing $4000 - $5000 in new flooring can increase the value of your home by an average of $10,000, doubling the home owner's return on investment, reports John Shipman in his Time Magazine article "10 Ways to Raise the Value of your Home". This is a good tip for those planning to put their homes on the market.

According to experts, the key to attracting buyers and getting the most value from your home sale is to follow the theory of "What buyers can see vs. what they can't see." In other words, home sellers should make improvements starting from what buyers can see right away (such as flooring, landscaping, new paint) to what buyers can't see (plumbing, electrical upgrades). That is, before investing in a new plumbing system for the house, change the floors. Most buyers won't even ask how good the plumbing is if they notice a huge stain on the carpeting first. That first impression, the exterior, is what gets buyers into the door and interested.

FloorMall.com, your one stop flooring shop company knows the difference a strong attractive floor can make to a resale value. With multiple flooring centers throughout America, the company employees top flooring consultants to help home owners choose the best flooring option for their lifestyle and investment goals.

Over the past three years, the real estate market has experienced tremendous growth giving buyers many options to choose from. It is therefore necessary for sellers who want to attract potential buyers and make a profitable sale, to improve the homes they are selling. Updating the flooring in your home is a simple and effective way of accomplishing that big sale.

Become the Real Spy with Spy Review
10.08.06 (9:08 pm)   [edit]


If you think the techno-spying in the latest thriller "Enemy of the State" is scary, here it is right in U.K.

Spyreview.co.uk has been selling snooping aids since 2000, including custom-designed earrings containing recorders, bustiers with video cameras hidden inside and more, at prices that can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

"We build stuff into cell phones, pagers, wall plates--you name it," store owner Dan earner said.

Although U.K law bans unauthorized third-party wiretaps, that doesn't prevent people from purchasing such devices and using them surreptitiously.

"But we don't want to be a party to selling equipment to people who will use it illegally," Dan said. And some items, like wireless recorders, for example, can be sold only to law enforcement officials.

Spyreview.co.uk claims it is the buyer's responsibility to obey laws that govern possession of items sold, but common sense also prevails.

"One time we had some guys come in who wanted to buy Covert Keylogging Keyboard," Dan said. "We suspected they were gang members, so we didn't deal with them."

Spyreview.co.uk is owned and operated by Jago Network, a licensed private investigation agency. Spyreview.co.uk sets up sting operations for law enforcement officials, provides executive and celebrity protection services and operates a private investigator training academy.

More than 2,100 items are for sale in Spyreview.co.uk online catalog, from on how to Spoof SMS eBook to Security Related Books at Spy Review Spy Gear Shop. There are also spy news bites, and links to other spy-related sites such as the CIA and the FBI.

Elegantly styled, the Sony Vaio VGN-FE770G notebook PC is more than just a pretty face. It offers cutting-edge processing power from Intel's new Core 2 Duo line for outstanding multi-tasking performance as well as a tri-mode wireless LAN, enabling you to connect to a full assortment of 802.11a/b/g networks. A 5400 rpm Serial ATA hard drive and advanced DDR2 memory enable high-speed computing, resulting in sizzling performance for work and multimedia activities. It also features a bright widescreen 15.4-inch XBRITE-ECO LCD screen that offers excellent color purity even in the brightest daylight. And communicate with pals all around with world via VoIP calling and video conferencing using the built-in microphone and camera (with zoom function).

It's powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predcessor while using 28 percent less power--so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. The dual-execution core T5600 Core 2 Duo processor provides an optimized, multithreaded architecture for improved gaming and multitasking performance, and it features a 1.83 GHz speed, lightning quick 667 MHz system bus, and large 2 MB L2 cache.

With Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you can view your movies and photos with stunning clarity and brilliant, true-to-life color. It also features a 120 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), multi-format, dual-layer DVD burner, Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 950 card with 128 MB of shared video RAM, memory card reader, ExpressCard/34 slot, and a wide selection of preloaded Sony multimedia software titles. This is Windows Vista capable PC, and it's also Windows Vista Premium ready.

The Basics

  • Hard Drive: Large and in charge, the 120 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 20,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.
  • Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 processor has a 1.83 GHz processor speed, super-fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

    The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:

    • Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
    • Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
    • Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
    • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.

  • Memory: The 1 GB of built-in memory (PC4200, 533 MHz, DDR2 SDRAM, 2 x 512 MB) is a good start out of the box, but you'll want to maximize the 2 GB capacity of this machine to make your multimedia hum along.
  • CD/DVD Drive: The double-layer DVD drive is compatible with a wide range of formats, including both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs, CD-RW discs, and dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can hold up to 8.5 GB of data--great for backing up your MP3 collection or your most important documents. It features the following speeds: 4x for DVD+R DL, 4x for DVD-R DL, 8x for both single layer DVD+R/-R, 8x for single layer DVD+RW, 6x for single layer DVD-RW, and 24x/16x for CD-R/RW. It reads DVD-ROM discs at 8x and CD-ROMs at 24x.
  • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a standard 86-key keyboard (2.5mm stroke and 19.05mm pitch) and electro-static two-button touchpad.
Screen, Graphics and Sound
The 15.4-inch WXGA LCD offers Sony's XBRITE-ECO display technology and has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The widescreen display gives increases the width of the notebook's display while giving the computer the form factor of a smaller computer, so it takes up less space on your desk or in your briefcase. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, which uses Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) and provides up to 128 MB of shared video memory. It also has an integrated audio card with Microsoft Windows sound system compatibility.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The FE770G features an integrated PRO/Wireless 3915ABG wireless LAN that's compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard/34 card slot (in addition to a traditional PCMCIA card slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. Here's the full list of connection options:

  • 3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
  • 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
