Attack of the 20-inch Notebook 2008-03-09 07:48:59 Technology has a long history of growing smaller, with portability and convenience as two of its major selling points. From time to time, however, it occurs to manufacturers that sometimes bigger is indeed better, a phenomenon reflected with the advent of the SUV, the big screen TV, the boom box, and the platform shoe. "The trend towards larger screen notebooks is emerging because more and more customers are looking to portable devices for gaming and for higher-end entertainment functions," Samir Bhavnani, director of research for Current Analysis told LAPTOP.Dell XPS M2010OnlineHardware.blogspot.com

12-year-old "Magneto Man" breaks every computer he touches 2008-03-09 07:42:12 Confirming our belief that some people are just "bad with computers," a boy named Joe Falciatano III from Pulaski, New York, seems to have simply the worst luck ever -- and some think it could be do to an overly magnetized touch. While using PCs at this elementary school, Joe -- who dubbed himself "Magneto Man" -- found that every
system he laid his hands on went totally haywire.Only after a teacher suggested he use a grounded, anti-static wrist strap did the systems experience relief from his Geek Squad-inducing grasp. Apparently, the boy has also disrupted slide show presentations and caused his Xbox to freeze repeatedly.Though tests have been run on Joe, there's still no conclusive evidence about the source of the problem, though at least one electricity expert said the cause could be h Read more:breaks

Using LogMeIn Ignition and a USB stick to connect remotely to a PC. 2008-03-08 06:27:42 Want to have access to your files, applications and intranet services without carrying a laptop? We show you how you can do it step-by-step. There are plenty of remote control services that let users gain access to their desktop PC from the road, but most of them require you to set up the software on the remote access terminal (a laptop for example) in advance. If users don't travel with a laptop, or need emergency access from someone else's PC, LogMeIn Ignition
lets them 'start up' their PC from any other computer by plugging in a USB stick, memory card or even a PDA - anything that you can store the Ignition software on. This launches the remote software without needing to install it, connects to the LogMeIn service and looks up the remote PC and lets the user transfer files or view Read more:remotely
Finance companies lead way with IP telephony 2008-03-08 06:27:19 The financial sector is a long way ahead of other industries when it comes to adopting Internet Protocol Telephony (IPT) technology.Nearly all (94 per cent) of finance companies have an IPT solution in place compared to the UK average of 80 per cent, according to a survey by the SAS Group. Finance companies are also eager to go forward with their communications strategies, with 69 per cent planning to implement unified communications (UC) in the near future."It is interesting to see that financial organisations are wise to the benefits of IPT, as they don't tend to be early adopters of technology," said Charles Davis, chief executive of the SAS Group.Although the financial sector was praised for their speed, worries were raised that 63 per cent were using internet-based Virtual Private Net Read more:telephony
Asus EeePC 900 Launched at CeBIT 2008-03-08 06:27:01 For all the claustrophobic folks who can't use the Eee due to its size but would like to try to, perhaps the new Asus
EeePC 900 launched at CeBIT
this year would be a match. The Asus EeePC 900 widens the screen of the Eee to 8.9-inches. And without that thick, hideous screen margin, I must say, it's looking good. Aside from the larger screen, the Asus EeePC 900 also offers 12GB of storage which is a lot larger than the old Eee's, and a default 1GB memory. And yes, the Asus EeePC 900 will come preinstalled with Windows OS. It will first be available to select European countries for US$600, which is around twice the amount of the old Eee with basic specs. I surmise though, that this price tag will lower as time goes. Unfortunately, unlike what was reported, it doesn't seem as if the Asus Eee Read more:Launched

Five Secrets to Great Flower Pictures 2008-03-04 08:49:38 Floral Photography Tutorial. You don't have to be a professional photographer to capture great flower pictures, whether you want to show off the splendor of a rose in your garden or shoot pictures of flowers during your travels. Here are five secrets to taking great flower pictures.Tip 1: Lighting for Flower Pictures
It can be tempting to wait for the brightest midday sun to take your flower pictures. That's actually one of the worst times because the powerful sunlight will wash out your image, and can create harsh shadows. Instead, take flower pictures when it's overcast, or in the morning, afternoon or evening when the sun isn't as bright and overpowering. This will result in more saturated colors in the blooms of the flowers.Tip 2: Level with the Flowers To get unique and beautiful flowe Read more:Secrets
