Two Considerations when Buying a New Camera
2007-05-16 11:31:00
Planning on buying a new digital camera? Among the many choices you have to make including megapixels, image quality, and zoom capability, here are two more things you should consider:Media Type: There are lots of media types available for cameras, such as CompactFlash, SecureMedia, etc. Because of my previous purchases of CompactFlash cards that I used in older cameras, if upgrading, I would not want to purchase a camera that used a different type of memory unless its other features far outweighed those of competing cameras. Memory prices are going down, but cards are still not cheap and I don't want to 'throw away' this media investment when upgrading.Some cameras are realizing that not everyone wants to use their manufacturer's proprietary media format. For example, the upcoming (at the time of this tip's writing) Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 uses Sony's Memory Stick format, but this digital camera also supports CompactFlash and MicroDrives.Battery Type: If you currently use recha

How Do I Speed XP's Shutdown?
2007-05-16 04:53:00
Tips for getting out of Windows more quickly.You could hard-boil an egg in the time it takes some Windows XP systems to shut down. If your PC doesn't know how to say good night, Gracie, try these tips.Don't Shut Down, HibernateThere are only two reasons to shut down Windows: to save electricity, and to reset the operating system when it starts acting goofy. If nothing really bad is happening and the stars have aligned correctly, XP can run reliably for days or even weeks between boots. So instead of shutting down your system, tell it to go to sleep.Putting Windows into Hibernate mode copies the contents of your machine's RAM to your hard disk, then powers everything down, which saves just as much electricity as shutting it down--from the hardware point of view, the two actions are identical. Hibernating XP and waking it out of hibernation take much less time than closing it and rebooting. For more information, read the "Enable Hibernation" section in my September 2002 Answer Line.Cl

Apple MacBook Pros Get LED Screen
2007-06-07 01:11:00
Apple announced that their new MacBook Pro laptop will include LED screens. The new laptop line will also pack in Intel's latest processors and chip set, as well as 2GB of memory itself. This is an attempt by Apple to pick up the laptop line and to keep them as some of the most powerful laptops on the market. The 15-inch MacBook Pros are the first to have LED-backlit displays which reduce the trace mercury previously found in LCD displays. They also run on lower levels of power reducing power consumption and raising the batter life. “With Intel Core 2 Duo performance, more memory and state-of-the-art graphics, this MacBook Pro is a portable powerhouse for creative and professional users,” Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of global product marketing, stated. Apple has set up the MacBook Pros to retain their slot at the top of the food chain, especially with the addition of the brand new LED screens and it should be interesting to see how many companies follow suit.
