<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Logitech MX1100 Cordless Laser Mouse, the newest addition to the MX line of performance mice, is bulky, heavy (5.55 ounces with two AA batteries)—and comfortable. Although tailored to general-purpose computing, it's versatile enough for gaming. Rubber-like material on both sides assures a good grip, and the large, contoured body lets you rest your hand and move your wrist or use your fingertips for more precise control. The shape, however, suits righties more than lefties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Combining the highly customizable mouse with the best-in-class SetPoint software (included), lets you set vertical scrolling to be clicky and line-by-line or hyperspeed (sideways pressure causes horizontal movement), switch dpi settings on the fly, and remap eight of ten buttons under Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, Windows XP, and Vista. The 2.4-GHz wireless provides a strong, reliable connection, even in busy wireless environments. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like many of today's latest smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S II sports an all-black front face dominated by a huge touchscreen. The size of the display is even more impressive considering the phone's extremely thin profile (5.1 x 2.7 x 0.4 inches). The Galaxy S II's flat, slab-like shape has smoothly rounded edges which make for a comfortable grip.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Users with small hands, though, will find it difficult to reach the far side of the device. Despite being plastic, the phone's gray faux-metal styling creates a sophisticated look. Turning the Galaxy S II over reveals a textured black plastic cover that repels fingerprints. An 8-MP camera and LED flash is here too, along with a gently curved chin on the phone's bottom edge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fun third-party apps include Netflix for streaming movies and TV shows, Slacker Internet radio, and the <em>Asphalt 6</em> racing game. Watching movies over Netflix was enjoyable--with our entire queue at our fingertips--but in order to play <em>Asphalt 6</em>, we had to download a 455MB file, which took 35 minutes over Wi-Fi.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Samsung also bundles apps of its own, such as Media Hub (offering movies and music for purchase and download) and Social Hub, which pulls e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter updates into a central location. The AllShare App streams media on the phone to a DLNA-enabled HDTV, provided it's connected to the same network. Similarly, Kies Air lets you access the phone's files from a networked PC.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T-Mobile also mixes in its own apps, such as T-Mobile TV, T-Mobile Name ID, and VIP Bonus Apps. Business-minded apps include Polaris Office for viewing business documents and a trial version of Lookout mobile security. In case you'd like to hide any of these apps, you can place shortcuts into folders on the home screen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Equipped with a powerful 8-MP main camera, the Samsung Galaxy S II provided a fun photo-taking experience. The phone cycles between shots in under a second, and its autofocus locked onto subjects with no perceptible lag. Daylight images of autumn tree leaves and bright blue skies had pleasing color. The sensor also did a good job at compensating between light and dark conditions, and when the flash needed to fire, subjects were evenly exposed. Though there are no fancy features such as the panorama mode found on the HTC Amaze 4G, we liked the anti-shake, auto contrast functions, and effects such as grayscale and Sepia.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: left;">Video quality was also good, with footage taken at the camera's maximum resolution of 1080p on an NYC street corner showing sharp details of brick and concrete surfaces as well as the bright yellow of taxi cabs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calls made on the Samsung Galaxy S II were clear, and callers reported that our voice was easy to hear even on crowded city streets filled with traffic noise. Speakerphone performance was just as pleasant; people on the other end couldn't tell that we were using the phone hands-free.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Despite its super-thin profile, the Samsung Galaxy S II packs in a 1850 mAh battery that lasted a long 7 hours and 38 minutes on the LAPTOP Battery Test (web surfing over 4G). That's almost two hours longer than the current average for Android devices. It also outlasted the Epic 4G Touch (5:48, 1800 mAh), HTC Amaze 4G (5:40, 1730 mAh), HTC Sensation 4G (7:12, 1520 mAh), and myTouch 4G (6:09, 1520 mAh).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of the new crop of superphones on T-Mobile's network, the $229 Samsung Galaxy S II is the most compelling. Not only does it serve up bleeding-edge performance and feature a lovely Super AMOLED Plus display, it also offers incredible endurance. Another high-octane option on T-Mobile is the $259 HTC Amaze 4G, which features fast 4G, dual-core power, and an even better camera. However, many will fall in love with the Galaxy S II's slim size, eye-catching screen, and swift 4G speeds--and we can't blame them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Apple releases Thunderbolt-equipped iMac line</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Apple unveils new iMac, including quad-core model</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The latest iMac models introduced by Apple this month benefit greatly from new Intel processors and greater device connectivity. Both changes offer users unprecedented speed from the iMac lineup.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Apple offers four standard configuration models. The new entry-level $1199 21.5-inch iMac has a 2.5GHz Core i5 quad core processor, a 500GB hard drive, and AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics with 512MB of video memory. The $1499 21.5-inch iMac has a 2.7GHz Core i5 quad core processor, a 1TB hard drive, and AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics with 512MB of video memory. The $1699 27-inch iMac has the same processor, memory, and graphics as the $1499 iMac. At the top of the line sits a $1999 27-inch iMac with a 3.1GHz Core i5 quad core processor, a 1TB hard drive, and AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics with 1GB of video memory.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All iMacs include an Apple Wireless Keyboard () and Magic Mouse (). If you buy an iMac through the Apple Online Store, you can swap the Magic Mouse for a Magic Trackpad () at no additional cost. If you think that the Magic Trackpad is a better input device, that’s good news.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Inside the iMac</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Each new standard-configuration iMac features a Core i5 quad-core processor. Based on Intel’s Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, the processors integrate the CPU, cache, and memory controller on one chip, allowing for fast data access over fewer buses. Each iMac has 6MB of shared L3 cache and support for Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0, which allows the processor to automatically speed up cores when needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, the Core i5 processors in the standard-configuration iMacs do not have Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, which creates two virtual cores for each physical core present in the processor, improving performance. To get an iMac with a processor that has both Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading, you’ll have to select the $200 Core i7 upgrade option for the $1499 21.5-inch iMac or $1999 27-inch iMac. (The standard-configuration Mac Pros and MacBook Pros have both Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">All iMacs come standard with 4GB of memory, installed as a pair of 2GB modules. When you order an iMac through the Apple Online Store, you have the option to upgrade the memory to 8GB (a pair of 4GB modules) on all iMac models for $200, or to 16GB (four 4GB modules) on the 27-inch models for $600. The iMac has four memory slots located at the bottom of the iMac that are user-accessible. Since two slots are empty when you buy an standard-configuration iMac, you can easily add more memory. The 21.5 inch iMac has support for up to 16GB of memory; third party companies are offering 32GB memory upgrades for the new 27-inch iMac.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The $1199 21.5-inch iMac has a 500GB, 7200-rpm hard drive and no upgrade options. The three other iMac models each have a 1TB 7200-rpm hard drive and options to upgrade to a 2TB hard drive for $150, a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD) for $500, or a combination of a 256GB SSD and either a 1TB 7200-rpm hard drive ($600) or a 2TB 7200-rpm hard drive ($750). Do-it-yourself storage upgrades are possible with the new iMac, but it requires a good amount of skill and intestinal fortitude on the user’s part—opening up the case involves using suction cups to remove the front pane of glass that is held in place by magnets. Such upgrades void your warranty, which may also be a deterrent from performing the surgery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The new iMacs have support for Serial ATA-3 (SATA-3) drives capable of 6GBps speed, but the drives Apple installs and the BTO storage options conform to the SATA-2 specification and are capable of 3GBps speed. SATA-3 drives are becoming more common, however, and it's possible that Apple could offer SATA-3 drives in the future. Some companies, such as OWC, offer iMac upgrade services that can be used to install a SATA-3 drive. [Editor's note: OWC is reporting that the new iMacs use a proprietary cable that restricts the ability to upgrade the storage devices yourself.]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The new iMacs have a slot-loading, 8X SuperDrive that can burn dual-layer DVDs at 4X speeds, and a SDXD card slot for easy transfer of photo and video files from SD cards used in cameras and camcorders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thunderbolt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 27-inch iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. They are indicated by the lightning-bolt icons and are located between the FireWire 800 and ethernet ports.A new external connection called Thunderbolt can be used to attach Mini DisplayPort monitors. Introduced earlier this year with the latest MacBook Pros, Thunderbolt can also be used with Thunderbolt-equipped storage devices. Thunderbolt offers data transfer speeds up of 10Gbit per second, which is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and 20 times faster than USB 2.0. The 21.5-inch iMacs have one Thunderbolt port, while the 27-inch iMacs have two.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The catch is that at the time of the iMac’s release, Thunderbolt cables, drives, or adapters were not available, and it may be a while before Thunderbolt peripherals hit the market. When Thunderbolt was introduced with the MacBook Pro earlier this year, several companies said they had Thunderbolt products in the works, but many did not provide a solid timeline as to when products will be available to the public. So right now, Thunderbolt isn't the sole reason you should buy a new iMac, and fortunately, the iMac didn't lose any ports to make room for Thunderbolt. The iMac has four USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port to connect external hard drives, printers, and other devices.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The 2010 27-inch iMac allowed for external HDMI-based video sources (such as a Blu-ray player or game console) if you had an HDMI-to-Mini DisplayPort adapter—those adapters won’t work with the new iMacs, which require an HDMI-to-Thunderbolt adapter that isn’t available yet. If you have a Thunderbolt-equipped MacBook Pro, you can use the new iMac’s Target Display Mode feature, which allows you to use the iMac as a second display for the MacBook Pro. But again, the Thunderbolt cable that’s required to use the Target Display Mode feature wasn’t available during this review.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08951164671232996255noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674420698278021021.post-89457012932833020662012-03-20T18:25:00.000-07:002012-03-20T18:25:07.919-07:00About Cisco Academy<br />

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Gigabyte has a lovely product to offer you with the Radeon HD 7970 OC (WindForce edition). Admittedly it is hard to go wrong with it anyway as the default aka reference R7970 is already a product with a very high 'like' factor for sure. It performs well and within all parameters like heat and noise it's already doing a terrific job. The customization that Gigabyte applied to this R7970 OC WindForce edition raises the bar once again. Obviously the overall looks are nice, the WindForce cooler stays within the dual-slot form factor and brings in much better cooling at roughly the same noise levels as the reference design.</span></b></div>

Admittedly, that Ultra Durable design has become a norm there days as all manufacturers have improved the build quality over the past two years, and with a lot of success.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Quite impressive is of course the power consumption of this product. The board is rated with a 210~215 Watt TDP, that means when you completely stress it, that's the power consumption. Our measurements showed that the board TDP is actually consuming 15 Watts lower than the reference specification. But give or take roughly 200 Watt for this kind of performance is very good. Even more impressive is the boards IDLE power state, in desktop mode when not in use it can throttle down and disable huge segments of the GPU allowing it to draw 10 Watt only. Once your monitor jumps into energy saving / sleep mode then the power draw of this 7970 drops towards 2.7 Watt.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">When you look at the R7970 overall, performance, the new Eyefinity updates, PCIe gen 3 compatibility and all other stuff then we can only conclude that we like the Radeon HD 7970 in the enthusiast graphics card arena. For those that embrace multi-monitor gaming, it's for you guys that AMD decided to go for that massive 3GB framebuffer / graphics memory. They could have opted for the 1.5 GB route but with extreme resolutions graphics memory starts to really matter. So it might seem a little excessive, but we are very happy that in terms of graphics memory no compromises have been made.</span></b></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08951164671232996255noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674420698278021021.post-42612048222493489072012-03-04T18:52:00.002-08:002012-03-04T18:52:42.669-08:00About Microsoft Certifications<br />

You'll soon find that it is as deadly to heat as it looks.<br />By effectively spreading the heat from the critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU VRM zone and quickly dissipating it, the GIGABYTE G1.Assassin 2 motherboard remains cool, even when the battle heats up. Modeled after common firearms issued to soldiers deployed to a warzone, including pistol and machine gun, the Locked and Loaded heatpipe design utilizes a unique fluting technology similar to a machine gun barrel fluting, which allows for maximum heat dispersion.<br /><br /><strong>5 Smart Fan Connectors</strong><br />To further help eliminate heat in the field of war, five Smart Fan pin headers which allow for precise cooling fan control, have been strategically placed around the board. Each fan can take advantage of its own thermal sensor and can also be controlled by via GIGABYTE's EasyTune 6 utility as well as within the UEFI BIOS.<br /><img src="http://www.gigabyte.com/FileUpload/Features/2/Photo/2281.jpg" /></span></div>

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Design</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While not as minimalist as Google's pilot-program Cr-48 (which was done up in all black), the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 also takes a less-is-more approach. The plastic lid is done in solid Arctic White (it's also available in Titan Silver), with a chrome Samsung logo and the colorful Google Chrome insignia. The rest of the system is a matte black. It's elegant, but we wish it had the soft-touch rubber of the Cr-48. The corners of the Series 5 are also more rounded than the Cr-48, which is a design touch we also like.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Measuring 8.6 x 11.6 x 0.8 inches, the Series 5 easily slid into our shoulder bag. We really appreciated its light 3.2-pound weight after having to stand on a subway train for an hour and a half.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like the Cr-48, the Series 5 has a chiclet keyboard, not unlike one you'd find on a MacBook, but with a few key differences. Instead of function keys, the top row has a set of keys specifically designed for web browsing. To the right of the Esc key are Forward, Back, Refresh, Full screen, and Window swap buttons, as well as display brightness and volume controls. To further enhance the web surfing experience, Samsung has eliminated Caps Lock and replaced it with a web search key.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Typing on the Series 5 is comfortable, and its large flat keys felt good under our fingertips. During the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, we reached our normal speed of 50 words per minute. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 3.8 x 2.6-inch smudge-proof clickpad on the Series 5 offers a lot of real estate, perfect for multitouch gestures. Two-finger scrolling and drag and drop were fast and responsive, However, we had to swipe repeatedly to move the cursor where we wanted it.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Click to enlargeOwing to its lightweight operating system and high-speed Solid State Drive, Samsung trumpets a boot time of less than 10 seconds and instant resume from sleep as one of the Chromebook's biggest selling points. On our tests, the Series 5 booted up in 14 seconds; it took 8 seconds to reach the login screen, and another 6 seconds to load the browser. For the record, that's on a par with the MacBook Air (15 seconds) and about 10 seconds faster than the Samsung Series 9.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Resuming from sleep took about 1 second, even with several tabs open. That's faster than both the Series 9 (4 seconds) and the MacBook Air (3 seconds).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Performance</span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Click to enlargeShooting for start speed rather than processing power, the Chromebook is powered by a 1.66-GHz dual-core Intel Atom N570 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD hard drive, and integrated graphics. As a result, the notebook boots up in a zippy 14 seconds, but can't handle more than a few tasks at a time. A streaming 720p video began skipping and buffering after we opened seven tabs, a Gchat window, and started playing an MP3. By comparison, the AMD-Fusion powered ASUS Eee PC 1215B was able to stream video in 1080p with Firefox open to seven tabs, Chrome opened with eight tabs, and an MP3 playing at the same time.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With nothing else running, the Series 5's Intel integrated GPU can stream 720p video at a decent rate, but don't expect to play any graphically demanding games. The Series 5 scored a dismal frame rate of 4 frames per second (fps) on WebGL Aquarium, and that was with the test at its lowest setting, (one fish, no background or sunlight). The 1215B made the Series 5 look like a fish out of water, scoring 35 fps with one fish at maximum setting. Even with 1,000 fish at maximum setting, the 1215B managed 15 fps.</span></b><br />

Using speedtest.net, the Series 5 had an average download speed of 1.1 Mbps and an average upload rate of 0.69 Mbps. Surfing the web was reasonably quick, too: Laptopmag.com loaded in 2.5 seconds, ESPN.com loaded in 6.3 seconds, and The New York Times loaded in 2.7 seconds.

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Intel Core i7-3820 Processor Review - Quad-Core Sandy Bridge-E under $300</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A New Chip for a New Year</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Intel launched the Sandy Bridge-E platform in November, there were three processors listed on the specification sheet. The Core i7-3960X is the flagship, 6-core processor with the ~$1000 price tag, the Core i7-3930K still had 6-cores but a much lower cost and similar clock speeds and the Core i7-3820 was the only quad-core option and was listed for a Q1 release. We reviewed the Core i7-3930K in December and found that it offered nearly the same performance as the more expensive unit at about half the price. </span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today we are getting a preview of the Core i7-3820 that will be released likely in early February and will come with a much more reasonable price tag of $285 to fill out the LGA2011 socket. The question that we must ask then is can the quad-core Core i7-3820 compete against the currently available quad-core Sandy Bridge parts that fit in the widely available LGA1155 socket? We not only have to consider performance but also the features of each platform as well as the total cost. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Same Feature Set, New Die</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While most of the features of the Core i7-3820 are going to be identical to those of the previous SNB-E processors we have seen, there are some important differences with this chip. Let's see what is familiar first. The Core i7-3820 is based on the Sandy Bridge-E design that works on the LGA2011 socket and the X79 chipset and motherboards currently on the market. It includes a quad-channel memory controller and 40 lanes of PCI Express that are actually capable of PCIe 3.0 speeds. HyperThreading is still enabled so you are getting the benefit of being able to run twice as many threads as you have cores. </span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are some very important changes on this CPU as well though starting with a quad-core design. This directly pits this Sandy Bridge-E part against the currently existing Sandy Bridge processors running on the Z68/P67 chipset and LGA1155 socket. Also, the L3 cache on the Core i7-3820 is at 10MB, 5MB less than the Core i7-3960X and 2MB less than the Core i7-3930K. We are basically talking about a processor that bridges the gap between the original SNB and newer SNB-E parts and it creates some interesting battles and comparisons. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continue reading our review of the Core i7-3820 Sandy Bridge-E CPU!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interestingly, this quad-core SNB-E part is not simply a chip with more cores disabled but instead is a completely new die built on the same 32nm process. While the Core i7-3960X and i7-3930K have a transistor count of 2.27 billion and a die size of about 435 mm2, the Core i7-3820 is based around 1.27 billion transistors and a 294 mm2 die - a significant reduction. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">AT $285, the Core i7-3820 actually undercuts both the Core i7-2600K and the Core i7-2700K while offering more cache, higher base and turbo clock speeds as well as twice as many memory channels. The downside is that your X79 motherboard is going to cost more - base X79 options start around $220 while you can get Z68 motherboards for just over $100, $150 for an "enthusiast-class" option. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Original Sandy Bridge on the left, new Sandy Bridge-E on the right</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another interesting difference with the Core i7-3820 and the other three CPUs listed above is that it is NOT a fully unlocked processor. Like other Turbo Boost enabled processors in Intel's Sandy Bridge processors the i7-3820 can be set to a multiplier that is four steps higher than the top Turbo frequency. So, out of the box, the quad-core SNB-E part will be able to run at 4.3 GHz (single core active), 400 MHz higher than the 3.9 GHz top default Turbo frequency. There are ways to get higher than this with the 3820 that we'll cover in our overclocking page a bit later. </span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Core i7-3930K vs Core i7-3820 - In the battle of the $285 and the $555 Sandy Bridge-E processors, we know who should win, but is it by enough to warrant the price difference?</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Core i7-2600K vs Core i7-3820 - Does the updated architecture of Sandy Bridge-E make any performance differences thanks to the larger cache, additional memory channels and slightly higher clock speeds? This will help us decide if users on a moderate budget would be better off with LGA2011 or LGA1155 platforms.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Core i7-3820 vs AMD FX-8150 - Okay, let's give the Bulldozer architecture yet another try here especially considering that they are so similarly priced!</span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08951164671232996255noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674420698278021021.post-4057499332623685952012-02-15T18:22:00.000-08:002012-02-15T18:22:53.169-08:00Future of Corning Glass<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this utopian world, glass is everywhere, and every surface is an interactive touchscreen. A smiling teenager uses the wall of her bedroom to choose an outfit to wear before heading to school with her sister and father, who smiles indulgently when she uses her tablet to change the glass dashboard display of the family car to a pink heart-filled theme. In the classroom, the teacher uses the glass wall display to explain color theory, then moves to a tabletop display, where the children pull circles of color to mix and match.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Corning also has grand visions of interactive glass displays being used in hospitals to help diagnose illnesses and collaborate with other physicians around the globe. A trip to a state park which has long walls of glass between visitors and the forest includes a thrilling look at what the forest might have looked like when dinosaurs roamed between the trees (we hope the glass walls are just there for display purposes, and that the entire park isn't walled off from visitors). Later, the happy family laughs over video the children took of their day with the dinosaurs.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many of the innovations shown in Corning's vision of the future aren't far from reality now. Windows that adjust their tint with a swipe of a finger, tablets that connect to a shared network, and photovoltaic glass solar panels that could cover roofs and provide much-needed green energy don't seem like much of a stretch. Even if only <em>some</em> of the innovations Corning suggests actually get to mass market, it will certainly make for a fascinating experience. Though it does give new gravity to the suggestion against throwing stones in glass houses!</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08951164671232996255noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674420698278021021.post-23276955620788682612012-02-05T18:07:00.000-08:002012-02-06T17:03:47.010-08:00<br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>A desktop PC is one that will reside on a desk in your office or bedroom. It will come with separate parts — usually a tower, which contains the brains of the PC as well as the DVD drive. It will usually come with a monitor, keyboard and mouse.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>On the other hand, a laptop (or notebook) is an all-in-one device that is portable. It can be carried with you from room to room, between home and work, or used while on the road (when travelling on a train, for example). Laptops have a battery that can last anywhere between one and a half hours to four hours, depending on the type of programs you use. Laptops have a built-in monitor, a built-in keyboard and a built-in mouse, and they can vary in size from 10 inches to 18 inches.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>In the old days, if you wanted a fast computer, you had to buy a desktop PC. Currently the performance of a desktop PC and a laptop is similar and, in some cases, equal. The only area in which desktop PCs and laptops can differ greatly is in their ability to play games; although there are gaming laptops, they tend to be less powerful than desktop PCs. If you want a computer to play the latest games, then you should definitely consider a desktop PC. If you want to buy a computer just so that you can view photos, use the Internet or type up documents and spreadsheets, then a laptop is a good choice.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The key specifications to look for when buying a desktop PC or a laptop are the CPU, RAM (memory), graphics adapter and hard drive. The CPU is the brains of the computer; the RAM is the space where all your programs will be loaded (the more RAM you have, the more programs you can load); the graphics adapter (also known as the graphics card or graphics controller) determines how well your computer will play games; and the hard drive determines how many programs, music files, documents, videos and e-mails you will be able to store on your computer.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Laptops will generally have lower specifications than desktop PCs, although there's not much in it these days. A typical laptop might have less RAM and a smaller hard drive than a similarly priced desktop PC, and it will also have a less powerful graphics adapter. The CPU, which makes a big difference in computer performance, is often the same between a laptop and a PC. For the best performance in a laptop or a desktop PC, look for a model with Intel's Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs, or AMD's Phenom II CPUs.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>When buying a laptop, you will need to decide what size screen will be suitable for your needs. A 15in (measured diagonally) screen means the notebook will be heavy, but you will be able to view a lot more programs on the screen at once, and in some cases fit more windows on the screen. A 14.1in screen offers a good balance between size and portability. You should look for a 13in screen or a 12in screen if you want a laptop that will be easy to carry with you on the road. Opt for a 10in netbook if all you need is a small and light laptop for browsing the Web, accessing social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and viewing your photos.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>For a desktop PC, a 22in widescreen monitor offers the best value for money, and 24in and 27in models are also available if you want something larger. It's worth spending a bit more on the monitor, and even upsizing to a 24in model if you can afford it, because the monitor is the one device that you will have to look at every time you use your PC.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Nearly all desktop PCs and laptops now come with a DVD burner, even if you choose to buy a sub-$1000 laptop (provided it's not a netbook). Most laptops have a DVD burner built in, but smaller laptops, such as slimline models, may supply a DVD burner as an external unit that needs to be plugged into the laptop (in some cases it is an optional extra, so it's best to check); netbooks will not have a DVD burner at all. With a DVD burner you can burn CDs as well as DVDs. Blu-ray combo drives are also available for PCs and notebooks. These allow you to play Blu-ray movies, as well as burn CDs and DVDs. A Blu-ray writer is required if you want to burn your own Blu-ray discs.</b></span><br />

They should also come with software for burning CDs and DVDs and watching movies; the brand of laptop or desktop PC you buy will determine exactly what this software is. Some laptops and desktops may also include office application software, games or educational software. Many models may also come with software to protect your computer from viruses.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>If you want a computer that you can use at home, as well as take to work, then you will need a laptop. Also, you may choose to buy a laptop if you want to have more freedom to roam when using your computer at home. A fully charged laptop can give you a few hours of use and will let you work from your living room, bedroom or even your backyard. On the other hand, a desktop PC will restrict you to working from the location where the PC is installed.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Why buy a desktop PC?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>If you want a computer that can store a huge amount of music files or a computer that will let you play games, then a desktop PC is a good choice. A powerful desktop PC is generally less expensive than a powerful notebook with similar grunt, and a desktop PC also has an advantage in that it can be easily expanded if your needs change (you can add more storage, RAM or a better graphics card at a later date). A laptop cannot be expanded to the same extent that a desktop PC can, although you can change the hard drive and in most cases add more RAM.</b></span><br />

HP have made a serious attempt to crack the ultrabook market with their latest addition to their range the Evny 14 Spectre, it offers plenty of features and a whole range options for the buyer to choose from, making this a very interesting laptop indeed. There are so many features to talk about that we had better just go straight into what the Envy 14 Spectre has to offer.</div>

Because this is a slim machine HP have opted for a solid state drive (SSD), the buyer gets to choose from the 128 GB or 256 GB mSATA and the memory comes in either a 4 GB or 8 GB of DDR3 RAM. Just as important to any other feature is networking, this machine uses the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 + Bluetooth (2×2 Wi-Fi). As expected, this Envy has some serious sounds too, with the Beats Audio system high performance speakers and subwoofer system.</div>

Connectivity is essential these days so the Envy has a Mini DisplayPort, a superfast USB 3.0 port and a microphone-in, headphone stereo-out jack combo. Other features in the HP Radiance back lit keyboard that gradually lights up every row and a Multi-touch enabled HP Imagepad for precise interaction. HP claims that the Envy has a long lasting battery offering up to 9 hours of use. Size wise the Envy is 12.88 inches (W) x 8.7 inches (D) x 0.79 inches (H) and it is said to weigh in at less than four pounds, depending on set up.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Interestingly, someone who claimed to have seen a larger-screened iPhone 5 prototype said in November 2011 that Steve Jobs canned the new handset and opted for the iPhone 4S because of the larger screen size of the new device. According to Business Insider, it was feared that a new size would create a two-tier iPhone ecosystem.</span></span></h4>

However, theDaily Mail (make of that what you will) then suggested that a four-inch version was likely and that Sony has already shipped top secret demo screens to Apple.</span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Based on the roadmap of mobile chip design specialist ARM (of which Apple is a licensee), we'll see a quad-core processor debut in the iPhone 5 - probably called the Apple A6. We know that we'll see other quad core handsets debut in 2012, so it's not too much of a stretch to say that the iPhone 5 will be the same.</span></span></h4>

Designing MacBook Air came with one goal: Create an incredibly thin and light notebook computer that’s every bit as powerful and capable as one twice its size. With flash storage, durable unibody construction, Multi-Touch technology, and a long-lasting battery, MacBook Air not only achieves that goal, it sets a new standard for what every notebook should be. Perfected down to the millimeter.</div>

Flash chips are very small, allowing MacBook Air to be incredibly thin and light. Flash is also solid state, meaning there are no moving parts. Which makes it reliable, durable, and quiet. And because we place the flash chips directly on the logic board, they take up much less space — about 90 percent less, in fact. That creates room for other important things, like a bigger battery. So you have a notebook that weighs almost nothing and runs for hours on a single charge. That’s mobility mastered.</span></h1>

Multi-Touch technology is part of practically every Apple product. It’s the best and most personal way to interact with your devices. And the optimal way to experience Multi-Touch on a notebook is through a trackpad. That’s precisely the case with MacBook Air. The trackpad’s spacious, all-glass surface doesn’t have a button because the whole thing is the button. And with new Multi-Touch gestures in OS X Lion, you can interact with MacBook Air in ways that feel more intuitive and realistic than ever before.</div>

For an Ubuntu beginner or curious Windows intermediate user however, there’s no single, simple source of information when it comes to trying out your first Ubuntu installation. One thing I have noticed is that there’s a lot of technical jargon and sometimes unnecessary terminal commands in lengthy forum posts, but no simple “how to” guides, which I think might put some people off! A shame, when you think about how easy Ubuntu is to install, use and <a href="http://seogadget.co.uk/ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-installation/" style="color: #4f5150; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">tweak to look really cool</a>!</div>

I hope my guide makes installing Ubuntu an enjoyable, simple experience. By the end of the guide you should have a dual boot Windows / Ubuntu machine that happily plays music, video, and acts as a perfectly usable home office computer with <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/" style="color: #4f5150; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Openoffice 3.0</a>. For the really adventurous you could even run Windows XP inside Virtualbox, which is linked to later on in the guide. The Ubuntu OS is unique and seriously cool, so, enjoy the trip.</div>

If you’re planning on installing the latest version of Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope 9.04) you can install Ubuntu straight from the CD inside Windows or from a USB stick and the install process can takes care of formatting your hard drive partition for you. You might not yet have a spare partition to do this, so I’ve covered shrinking your existing Windows partition to make space for Ubuntu<a href="http://seogadget.co.uk/how-to-resize-a-windows-vista-partition/" style="color: #4f5150; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">here</a>.</div>

Installing with WUBI is ideal for a first taste of Ubuntu as you can remove from add/remove programs in Windows later on. This install process is really easy but you don’t get the same performance as if Ubuntu had a separate partition running on its EXT3 file system. The following screens are all based on the Wubi installer process, so you can follow the rest of the instructions below.</div>

It’s worth saying at this point that you’re about to install Ubuntu on an entirely separate drive partition. That means, you need to make sure you have enough space on your computers hard drive to accomodate the new setup. Keir Thomas found that a partition less than 4gb would lead Ubuntu to crash during install in his <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5224586/first-look-at-ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope" style="color: #4f5150; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">first look at Ubuntu 9.04</a> over at Lifehacker.</div>

You can get to the format dialogue by opening My Computer and right mouse clicking the removable drive icon. Click “Format” and follow the settings in the image below. You need a minimum 2gb USB stick.</div>

9) Download <a href="http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html" style="color: #4f5150; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">UnetBootin</a>. UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/Ubuntu distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it’s no different from a standard install, only it doesn’t need a CD. The coolest thing about the application is that it’s a “portable” app. You don’t need to install it into Windows meaning UNetbootin will run on your Windows PC without “admin” privileges.</div>
<div style="color: #4f5150; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

The new version of Ubuntu isn’t in the Distribution list supplied with UNetbootin yet, so use the downloaded Ubuntu ISO from earlier on. Add the ISO using the “Diskimage”, make sure your USB drive is selected below and click OK.</div>
<div style="color: #4f5150; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 14px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The ISO transfers to the USB pretty quickly, so soon after you click OK you’ll see this screen:</div>

10) That’s it – when the installation process is complete, restart your computer and make sure it’s set up to boot from USB. On my HP Laptop, pressing F9 on the boot screen shows a boot order menu. Selecting “USB Hard Drive” follows a black screen, an Ubuntu logo, and finally, your new Ubuntu desktop appears.</div>
