Dell your error: The killing of 12-Inch Netbook

Dell's dropping its 12-inch netbook raises the question of when to stop netbooks and notebooks start. In terms of seller profits, the answer is simple: 10-inch, but for consumers, the answer is different.

Must TechCrunch Michael Arrington on, at least in spirit. I believe that Dell made a mistake and that netbooks should be slightly larger than the standard 9 and 10-inch models.

Dell does not deserve much guilt, but as Microsoft is the real power of deliberate stunting of netbooks.

Customers want stable decent size screens with appropriate $ 300 laptop, call them what you will be. However, at some point One Intel Atom processor oomph is not just for work and issues.

Last month I purchased the Acer One netbook strive to 11.6-inch display. The reason for purchase was a great full keyboard for more than a large canvas. My computer has nothing to expect from the Atom processor and 1GB RAM and I am satisfied with the purchase.
This means that it is a TAD undersized for the application to use several at once. But since I can live with these limitations, this is a $ 329 computer. Now, if you can not use a faster processor and more RAM for $ 100 will be very happy.

Large mouse buttons is also good, although I'm not sure how Acer can do. I was using the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 6000, which works great (even the bed sheet).

However, no more than Acer expenses, especially with $ 60 $ 60 mouse and USB DVD drive added to the price I can buy more powerful but less portable, the size of a standard laptop.

I still think that the decision whether netbook small size and weight outweigh the detriment of TAD undersized for what I was working. Until now I was in favor of the netbook, because I use my computer when I have work seriously.

Acer is the perfect netbook for the screen and keyboard. LED enough property to see what I do and a good keyboard for the size of a finger. For $ 329 (at-Costco), it is a big deal.

Unfortunately, the days of netbooks, which may be numbered. Some traders fear that they cut into sales pricier (read: more margin) in 13 laptop-15-inch range.

While it is true, I do not buy a larger laptop, the 11.6-inch Acer is not available, I have to do with what I have. Thus, by building a machine that I care, Acer will never be given to the other boundaries.

Intel Atom processor seems more in netbooks used to screen larger than 10 inches. Microsoft pushes for netbooks on the screen larger than 10 inches, more than 1 GB of RAM or hard drives larger than 160GB.

While I understand the desire to protect the laptop sales, this is just wrong. Intel and Microsoft should know better than standing in the way of progress.

Preview: 'Alpha Protocol'

Very worthy of the world is scared espionage, which was set up, Alpha Protocol is at stake slipped the radar image in circles. Developed by Follow the obsidian entertainment, the game offers interesting tips RPG based espionage today. In addition, players are thrown into a truly interactive world where every election that really are life and death, at least someone. So Digital Spy Special Briefing entered the room with obsidian producing programming Nathan Davis sneak a peak at a beta build of this exciting new.

In The Game, players take the role of Michael Thornton, which was originally part of the Office of alpha from rogue. The Game focuses on four main hub locations - Taipei, Rome, Moscow and Saudi Arabia - which can be played in any order and ignoring their free time. Instead of an open world approach the various tasks have been launched in SAFEHOUSE, which also offers many other functions, which we discuss later. The most important aspects of The Game, while the rest of the world and is the view of the reactive approach to more access to each interaction.

Our demo begins Thornton reaches Moscow office Grigori interrogate hardened Russia, which is a source of some heavy weapons Intel. Investigation of non-playable characters (NPC), includes use of The Game drives in an interview. The choice between non-specific phrases, the conversation includes a system for a different approach, based on three JBS - James Bond (suave), Jack Bauer (aggressive) and Jason Bourne (professional). If you play The Game is real, that the players have only one stab at any NPC conversation, but the demo to be useful to see how it differs from the Leader of access to different results.

Grigori Thornton as addresses, about the three options appear on the screen must be selected before the expiry of the timer (or most recently auctioned is elected). After performing aggressive approach (or what Davis calls "supreme cock Mike) Thornton Grigori slap on the head of the bar, then the request for information to Russia that gives the name of Sergei Surkov. Thornton May had the intelligence he wanted, but it has come at the expense of the other by the man who has other ramifications. As a result, Grigori May. Warn others thorny attitude Thornton May and then react accordingly in future interactions.

Taking the soft style Bond makes quite a different reaction Grigori. After reading Nicey-with Russia, Thornton is the same name as before, but also requested that "accidentally" divert a shipment of ammunition from the train station in Leningrad in Grigori hands. So that part of a military mission that was not offered by the aggressive approach. In a pleasant, before finishing the conversation thanks to Grigori Thornton was not an "idiot like other agents, adding that he had come to him as a human being must be" rewarded "

If the business is different from all the responses would be restored. It is a question of encouraging players to a mechanic to evaluate the parties in accordance with the NPC, and then respond to this information. Sometimes this can be an advantage for the other symbols of their own behavior, but it can also be a good thing "really angry, as it can take advantage of a situation. After all, nothing says" cooperation ", such as the shape of a bottle of vodka. With characters also linked to the image, which disturb the impression of people, or reduce or increase the quality of each player. Essentially, each option has a "certain degree of effect, which should be considered accordingly.

After each mission, and return to the dialogue SAFEHOUSE Thornton, which is essentially lint pad espionage accoutrement. This includes a computer terminal, which allows access to e-mail system, which responds to events / actions in the game like everyone else. Reply email has three main options for the selection - a short, friendly and snarky - with players able to read the response before sending. For example, a message of Thornton's manager, or all, I ask if they know the password to lock the server. After the selection of snarky response, Thornton contends that the password is M1LFLuv3r. However, I do not see the funny side, which leads to a loss of reputation.

Note: children online

Our children live in an era in which online activities are an integral part of their lives. Whether for recreation, seeking information about projects in schools or social interaction with friends and relatives, the Internet has a whole range of new resources and opportunities for them.

Although the benefits associated with the Internet, we should never lose the first that he could be a dangerous place for children. Teach your children about safe Internet use and ensure that they are useless in this regulation includes a combination of techniques. Just reading them will not be enough. No matter how much you warn them about the site inappropriate, keingintahuan their natural Akan ask for their business in the region dangerous. However, there are some practical steps you can follow to ensure their safety in the field of cyberspace bleak.

1) Put the computer in the field of traffic in your home, even if you have to move refrigeratory for your child's room. Placing the computer in the bedroom is the children who make a big mistake most parents. This allows the child is not limited to access web content, and he feels safe enough to give vent to his curiosity, especially at night.

2) Monitor your children's online activities. Ask about the sites they use to enjoy or school-related activities and entertainment. Do not depend only on the report. Check the browser history by pressing Ctrl H, which allows you to check the sites visited by two months.

3) Take control of online profiles. Do not leave your child Surveys have only one email address, unless you have the password for the account of their good. Sit with them as much as possible and take interest in their online activities and guide them to sites of good education. If you want to enter the online contest for children, promoting the campaign or sign up for newsletters from their favorite sites, whether to create their accounts to give your name or your e-mail address.

4) Warn them to obscene sites and banner ads that pop up. Our children a lot Smarter than we give them credit. Better recognize and face serious problems not to ignore and pretend that they do not have. You explain to the children as spry as you can against the pages of our cultural, religious and ethical norms, and better to avoid them.

5) weigh the pros and cons of social networking sites: the consequences, or make your child a member of countries such as Facebook, Orkut or Space. Are they really should be part of this website? The types of personal information they will be completed? Is it really true that foreigners will not be able to access this information? Put your foot down if you feel a strong nervous. In addition to issues of privacy, surfing these countries can spend more time they can spend more time to study and play both sports.

6) Are there rules of the Internet: Tell children that they should not give their original name, age, location, phone numbers, names of parents, teachers and schools really a stranger. They can not upload photos or your family own or without permission. Video content sites like YouTube should be limited to your list if you do not sit next to.

7) Install parental control software: Software such as Net nanny Cyber patrol and allows you to specify the contents of the internet to reach your children, but they are not always very stable, since studies show that 11 per cent of children how to open or off parents / filtering controls. No amount of technology can change their vigilance and restraint.

iPhoneWorld.ca: DGA and portable speaker system Livespeakr: iPhone / iPod Accessories Review

One of the things that the iPhone fun to review the related products is surprised. Of course there are advantages and disappointment of different products, but the real fun comes when they become out of Guarda. The Digital Audio Group Livespeakr portable speaker system did exactly that.

While it is not cheap for Livespeakr (can not write these guys?) Sounds much better than it seems at first sight. Actually I think that if you saw a store shelf among other Portable speakers up, you wouldnt even brands. Its really small and kind of looks like it wouldnt sound good, as its size.

But, turn it all doubts disappeared. Rock that thing! Im not sure how to manage, but this bass to a much larger speakers compare. Not tininess and AM-radio type of sound. No, sir, are present in the music. If Youve heard Angry Portable system, you know how little bass that the system can produce. Well, this Arent Angry speakers, but I must tell you that if you really Angry portable like this, it wouldnt sound better.


Setup is fairly straight. They allow the iPhone (original or 3G 3GS) in the slot and turn 90 This gives you a picture to see if Thats what you want. Now see the fun part: turning a second 90 and the columns extend from the device. So in landscape mode, iPhone does not block any sound. Features built into the rear and have a portable video display setup! Hope that the state would back a bit weaker, because in portrait mode, it seems a little unbalanced. Landscape mode is much more stable.

You can also make and receive calls, if it is connected to Livespeakr. You only need to use the loudspeaker to Settings, now only the second person's voice sounds much clearer if all the iPhone the next speaker. I have to mention that the speakers are protected - an important, if you are using iPhone.

More portability, the battery is Livespeakr Li-ion recargable which provide 15 to 20. hours of use between charges. It takes 5 to 7. hours fully charge the battery and the caps over the wall, or a computer using the USB interface, you can download and play at the same time. However, there is no battery light bummer. In addition to the fact that the situation does not charge the device. However, you can set up an Apple USB charger if you want, when you use the Livespeakr.

Accessories include USB cable to connect wall. Also included Velvet embroidered tote to transport unit. Nice touch. It is available in black or white, or match or contrast with your iPhone. Packaging is in accordance with their own products Macao.




In Livespeakr is a product that fills a niche very well. When you need to have real portability, this will give you the fun factor. And as I said, the sound is surprisingly rich and would fill a small room, despite his small stature.

Gateway… Open for Now

Oh, yeah, maybe it was one of those impulse buys products, whereas C / net is really like and select it to a recent Editor's Choice Award. My previous computer (a Riley I sleep in) and left to start as there is a Tiger Direct / CompUSA nearby, it was decided (yay) I got a new computer instead of a solution to replace the old CPU and Soldiering with the system previously (which was formed by David had extra parts)

One of the main goals was to get a better online experience and generally faster graphics. We thought the best thing to get the price, but when we came back, David noted the specifications were not what I had in mind (there were a lot of options in this price). It was a good deal and did not make much that I did not need (without screen that already has one), and only when we have it all and run, I think it would run everything that good ... Second Life Argh. But after SL update to the newest version, do not appear to have many problems.

We will see how goes. Everything is under warranty, anyway.

Home cat found fault in the child pornography on the computer

What is it with cats and keyboards?

A Florida man accused of downloading child pornography and blame the cat unpredictable keyboard Mashing offer.

Keith Griffin 10, was charged Wednesday with distribution of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his computer, the Associated Press reports. But Griffin said he had no knowledge of illegal images, and says the cat is leaving behind.

Griffin said his cat researchers had the habit of sitting at the computer keyboard. He said several times, back to your computer to find this rare material has been downloaded. Police did not buy the story of Griffin and is being held at the Martin County Jail. The cat terminate care of the family friends.

Maybe Griffin should consider investing in some anti-tigre computing. PawSense supposedly be able to recognize and prevent the cat writing.

Coherent weak excuse for a lot of visits in 1000 for children .... is once a day every day for three consecutive years. There are hundreds of thousands of "non-sexual places available during this period very well and if the site will send you to the Center for abused children do not just cover your eyes at home. Statistically, to be another" accidental "Download -- other sites affected by random cat much more than child pornography overdelivery. Right? cat is key time for porn as well as adults, or if you prefer only children?
It reminds me of the classic defense of arrested insufficient emotional maturity in a single view pedophyle weak form of the land as "The dog was eating my job." Do not you love the "captured in the film" defense? Kitty no, no. It is not that again! Well, you can play ... may end up in the pen, if you think you are me.
If only cats could talk ..... eh.

Ethiopian Commodity Exchange is good for coffee farmers?

Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) was created in order to eliminate food shortages and famine in Ethiopia, establishing an effective system of trade for agricultural commodities. Almost two months after the beginning of the highly praised exchange platform is becoming increasingly complex environment of global trade coffee company, which is totally different and far from the original vision of "revolutionary" in the internal market inefficient.

In August 2008 the government adopted a new law that requires all trade cafes in the country through the ECX ECX and welcomed the decision. Since then, the government confiscated the existence of the export of coffee and revocation of licenses, fill the vacuum with Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise (EGTE), especially of goods sold cafes class coffee prices.

After a rough first meeting, ECX involved in negotiations with buyers, especially coffee or challenged wining hearts and minds of local merchants. But the effect of coffee on ECX still noticed. This test piece shows pitfalls of negotiating through ECX coffee and its impact on small-scale farmers.


Learn coffee in Moscow

As is clear, ECX is not prepared to business operations of the entire complex, the choice of coffee exports. This partly explains why there ECX Run in trouble as soon as it started its coffee business.

ECX was originally designed to create a trading platform for domestic agricultural goods, especially degrees. ECX is designed with the purpose of removing archaic system of a market failure, as the founder of ECX, Elena Gebrs-Medhin, are partly responsible for the recurrent food shortages and famine in parts of Ethiopia, and increasing value of major household . Dr. Elena describes his vision in June 2007 in a TED Talk:

"Ethiopia on the domestic market is about $ 1 billion of values and way over the next five years, if Ethiopia can capture up to 40%, only 40 percent of the domestic market and 25% expected total value of this market, double the value market. ECX , moreover, becomes a platform for trade with the Pan-African market for agricultural goods. ethiopia agricultural market is 30 percent higher than South Africa, great production, and in fact, Ethiopia is the second largest producer of maize in Africa. "

Compulsory exchange

Demanding that 100% of the coffee trade to be conducted by ECX, the government abolished direct trade. The government says it has been necessary for the sector and prices. It is valueless.

Unlike grains, coffee trade is characterized by non-regulated supply, market monopoly by a few multinational companies, and fierce competition among producing countries. Coffee is a global commodity. It is the world's second most traded commodity next to oil prices are set to New York in exchange market. Trade is largely controlled by the world's largest coffee buyers. Five multinational company, Nestle, Philip Morris, Procter & Gamble, Sara Lee and Kraft Foods buys about 70% of global coffee and play a crucial role in setting prices in the world of coffee. Coffee-producing countries have no role in the unregulated world market.

The Computer Review: HP Pavilion Dv6

I was recently invited to participate in the Europe of the school computer promotion, which includes the review and distribution (more on this in future post) of the four products: HP Pavilion Dv6 with Windows Vista, on 110 HP Mini with Windows XP, a Timbuk2 computer bag computer Syncables and synchronization software. Today the post is a review of the HP Notebook Dv6.

When you begin using HP Notebook Dv6, are instantly impressed by several things. First, the computer design was incredible! Not only is the computer really beautiful, but also much more functional than most other laptop I have used. Interest to a computer and start using it, I found power and performance of this equipment is as impressive as the exterior design. With huge amounts of disk space and many useful software pre-installed, this equipment can be readily customized or used as.

Fingerprint Reader

One of the first features I noticed is the fingerprint reader. This small piece of equipment on board the right corner of the computer, it seems almost like something from a book of science fiction. After a few quick configuration steps by which I logged most of my fingers in the computer (not accepting the little fingers), I have arranged to connect to my computer with a password or with the fingerprint reader. Now when I turn on my computer can connect quickly via drag my fingers.

Unfortunately I had some small problems with the fingerprint reader. Sometimes it takes a few seconds the computer to connect after turning, and the reader does not recognize my fingerprint. I expect that the recognition of errors is a problem with my methods and probably means once I enter the learning curve. In my opinion, the future, I plan to update on how this program difficulties.

Computer light

Shortly after setting up the fingerprint reader, temporarily close the lid of the computer ... and saw another great feature! The HP logo on the lid of the notebook is light up - just like on a Mac. Not only this beautiful feature, but it also helps protect the hard disk. On the computer I used before, it is always difficult to know when the hard disk has stopped spinning so I can not secure. In practice, a new light on this notebook, however, I can always tell when the drive is off.

Mousepads

When I started using the computer, I was somewhat intrigued by the strange located between the keyboard and mouse. I had never seen before, and I have not read the manual for the moment (I rarely read the manual until I have a problem). After the violin using the mystery for a while, I decided to check the installation manual. Fortunately, a chart can understand, he explained that the power button on the Mouse pads and outside.

Put the mouse is easy to type without skipping the mouse on the screen. While this may seem unnecessary to some, who (like me) have used a laptop with this feature certainly appreciate.

Excellent Audio

Perhaps the most visible feature of this computer, the speakers - they are much larger than normal speakers. In fact, most of the space between the keyboard and the screen is coated with a loudspeaker! Because of the unusual format, of course, I wanted to see if the sound is better than normal too.

On the computer I used before, the sound was so quiet that external speakers are connected to the sound more audible than a few meters away from the computer. On this notebook, but the sound is much stronger without external speakers. In fact, the speakers on the notebook is still stronger than the external speakers on the laptop! Even if I do not use good, very often, I am happy to find the possibility to use the built-in speakers.

Key systems

This computer comes with Windows Vista operating system. Although I have heard some people complain about Vista, I had no problems with it. I usually use my computer for Internet surfing, word processing, and sometimes some graphics, and I've never noticed any problems. I think most people who complain about Vista to use more memory-intensive things like video editing or gaming - both from the load of the computer far more seriously than power needs of the students would probably never. I think that Windows Vista is a great operating system for students.
