in-techclan:New Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors.

The first time you use a Mac, you’ll quickly discover the benefits of a single company making the hardware, software, and operating system. Take the Multi-Touch trackpad on the MacBook Pro. Mac OS X Snow Leopard enables trackpad gestures, so you can interact more easily with your photos, documents, and the web. Zoom in or out on images with a pinch. Scroll up and down a page with a flick. Or flip through your web bookmarks like you’re turning the pages in a book.

A Mac also has Wi-Fi technology built in¹ and can join wireless networks (even Windows networks) in a few clicks. Just select your network, enter a password if necessary, and you’re connected. There’s no configuration process or complicated setup. Like a lot of things, the Mac does it all for you.

A Mac is great at day-to-day things, too. It comes loaded with all the essentials for email, calendar, contacts, browsing the Internet, and much more. And since these applications are all made by Apple, they all work together seamlessly. The Mac can also open Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel, and even run Windows — so it’s compatible with the PC world.²

Mac New Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors : Mac Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors new Mac, boost performance up to 50% (fifty percent) over the previous Mac generation. Based on Intel’s latest 32-nanometer process technology, these are the amazing fastest dual-core processors on the board

This Mac set an all-new benchmark for Mac notebooks.1..!!!!

Mac Turbo Boost feature : If you’re using processor-intensive applications like Aperture 3 or Final Cut Pro, Mac Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors feature Turbo Boost that would benefit from an extra performance boom....

Turbo Boost dynamically increases the speed of one or both cores, taking a 2.66GHz MacBook Pro all the way up to 3.33GHz.

Mac Hyper-Threading : Mac Built-in Hyper-Threading allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core, mean Mac OS X recognizes four virtual cores instead of just two. When you’re running multiple applications at once, the Mac Core i5 and Core i7 processors spread tasks more evenly across a greater number of cores — so you can get more done, faster.
Integrated memory controller.

Unlike systems that connect memory to the processor through a separate controller, the new MacBook Pro uses an integrated memory controller to connect memory directly to the processor. With faster access to memory, each core gets right to work on your data, rather than waiting for it to arrive. Together with up to 4MB of shared L3 cache, the integrated memory controller ensures MacBook Pro can keep up with you.

Mac Next-generation graphics : Inside the Mac 15- and 17-inch models is the new NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M discrete graphics processor, the fastest graphics ever in a Mac notebook. Mac processing cores is 48 and up to 512MB of dedicated video memory, this graphics processor delivers even more horsepower than the Mac previous generation.

You don’t have to sacrifice efficiency for speed: The NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M is up to 30 percent more energy efficient than its predecessor. For even greater power savings, MacBook Pro also includes integrated Intel HD Graphics.

ASUS' Eee Keyboard with touch screen

During CES 2009 ASUS presented a prototype for their Eee Keyboard, a complete computer – including a 5” touch-screen display – housed inside a keyboard running Windows XP. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Asus showed off its latest addition to the EEE family, the EEE Keyboard. The computer packs the usual Intel Atom internals, and puts them in a thin metal case with a built-in keyboard with Apple-style individually inset keys, much like many home computers from the days Back To The Future was cool. It has a small built-in touchscreen display, which can display the Windows desktop or a set of media controls.Asus plans to start shipping the Eee Keyboard in September 2009.

HTC Ultra mobile PCs

Ultra mobile PCs are beginning to make a big splash in the computing scene and HTC is not one to be left out of this exciting new product segment. THERE is no doubt that computers are getting smaller with each passing day. The underlying trend in today’s mobile computing market is not on massive desktop replacement notebooks but rather on smaller ultralight portable notebooks.

Already we have seen a couple of innovative ultraportable notebooks such as the Asus Eee PC in recent months. Naturally, HTC is not about to get left out of the race and has brought in their own ultra mobile PC, the HTC Shift.

Design - On the outside, the Shift sports a very interesting design which, to put it simply, is small for a notebook but huge for a PDA. Small and roughly slightly larger than your average paperback novel, the Shift is a very portable machine.

Although you aren’t likely to fit the Shift into your pocket, it is still light enough to carry around for everyday use. Weighing in at only 800g, the Shift is very travel friendly indeed and should come in useful for long distance travels.

The Shift can be used in one of two ways. You can hold the Shift in one hand and use the stylus with the other as you would a regular Tablet PC. One neat thing about the touchscreen is that you can still navigate reasonably well with your fingers without the stylus.

Alternatively, you can place the Shift on a flat surface and slide out the main screen to reveal a hidden Qwerty keyboard. You can then fold the Tablet portion of the Shift up to work on it as if it were a notebook PC and use the tiny touchpad on the right side to shift your cursor around.

Overall, the Shift is a nicely designed device with stylish curves and a smooth metal exterior that’s attractive to the eye.

Features - As mentioned earlier, the Shift is large for a PDA thanks to its large 7in screen. While it isn't nearly as big as a small notebook's 12in or 13in screen, the screen is still capable of displaying sharp images. The default display resolution is 800 x 480 pixels, which doesn’t offer a lot of room to work with, but you can bump the resolution up to 1,024 x 600pixels.

The viewing angles for the screen is also good, with almost no colour shifting as you view it from different angles. I wouldn’t consider it the best screen for watching videos or movies, but it does a very good job in presenting images and other information. Two tiny stereo speakers make up the Shift’s audio capabilities. While small, these speakers do pack a punch. Testing out a video file, I found the speakers to be sufficiently loud and there’s even stereo sound effects too.

Still, take note that these speakers won’t be audible if you are in a noisy environment; so be sure to bring a pair of headphones along. I found the Shift’s built-in keyboard to be on the small side, forcing me to constantly fight with the keyboard to get it to register the keys I’m aiming for.

Without a doubt, the tiny keys will prove to be a big problem for people with large fingers. The keys are also difficult to type in low light conditions since there is no backlighting. The Shift does, however, feature a handy handwriting recognition tool that intelligently appears whenever you use a text application like Notepad. The feature basically allows you to write words on the Tablet with the stylus and have it converted to actual text on the document.

I must say that I was genuinely impressed with the feature and often found myself typing with it more than the keyboard itself. The Shift has one solitary USB port on the side, though you can easily expand it using the included USB hub. The hub basically provides you with an additional three ports so you can plug in an external keyboard or mouse complete with a Ethernet port should you need a wired connection.

If you find the Shift’s 7in screen too small, you can always use the VGA-out port to expand your workspace or project a presentation on a larger screen. If you want to add an additional security layer to your data, the Shift has a fingerprint scanner that can be used as your security pass to access the Shift.

Performance - It may not sound like much but running on an Intel A110 (800MHz) processor with 1GB of RAM, the Shift is a reliable workhorse for office productivity tools. However the Shift isn’t geared for high-performance so photo manipulation and video editing are out of the question.

Still, Vista runs remarkably well on the Shift with applications launching fast and running smoothly without any noticeable slow downs. Navigating around Vista Business was made difficult by the rather small trackpad. After having used it, I have to say that I’d rather use the stylus to quickly click and navigate around.

Web surfing on the Shift is made easy by the fact that there are so many options such as WiFi, HSDPA or 3G to go online with. For entertainment, the Shift comes with its own media portal called Origami Central that adds some visual flair to the Shift’s media interface.

The Origami interface is nice and flashy looking but the little applications or widgets such notes, Calendar and To-do list in Origami aren’t as responsive as I would have liked. Vista isn’t the only operating system available on the Shift — there’s also SnapVUE, which is a stripped down version of Windows Mobile 6 that basically gives you access to a number of basic PDA applications such as a calendar, weather, contacts and email.

Visually, SnapVUE’s Today screen bears a lot of resemblance to HTC’s TouchFlo user interface found in some of its previous smartphones. While SnapVUE does not offer you the full Windows Mobile experience, it does give you quick access to your e-mail messages, giving you alerts and a preview of your new e-mail messages when you leave the Shift on to accept push e-mail messages.

The operating system is relatively fast to boot up and from our tests, we found that SnapVUE booted up faster than Vista (no real surprises there) when starting up from standby mode. SnapVUE does however have many limitations. It does not have many of the features that make up a full smartphone, such as making phone calls or web browsing. Oddly enough, I was still able to send and receive text messages from people on my SIM contact list.

Overall, I didn’t like the fact that SnapVUE felt very restrictive and limited. I was not able to install or run additional applications on SnapVUE, so I was forced to make do with the basic applications provided. Battery life for most mobile devi­ces aren’t necessarily great — the Shift is no exception as it can only last two hours while running Vista.

The Shift fairs slightly better if you leave it running on SnapVUE in standby mode though its mileage varies depending if you leave functions such as WiFi, Bluetooth or push e-mail on. It is rated to last up to 53 hours with push-email enabled and up to 10 days with the feature turned off.

Conclusion - The HTC Shift is a great mobile device designed for users on the go. Its main benefits include having a light portable design and a decent operating system in Windows Vista Business. The choice of SnapVUE is great for accessing essential information fast but it has too many limitations that bar it from being as useful as Vista. The built-in keyboard also feels too small and cramped for typing long text documents. Still, the HTC Shift is a great device when you are not in office and need to access your important documents quick and efficiently while on the go.

THE biggest news that emerged from Apple’s September announcement wasn’t Steve Job’s health, but rather the company’s brand new line of redesigned Macbook notebook computers. Mac fans everywhere have been waiting for an update of the popular Apple notebook for years and at long last, their wait is over.

Big changes

ALL METAL: The new Macbook looks just as good on the outside with a metal aluminum casing

The biggest change you will find in the new Macbook is that the version has an aluminum chassis, similar to that of the higher-end Macbook Pro.

The Macbook is a solid block of aluminium carved from inside out to form the shape of the notebook with the components neatly tucked inside — an aesthetically pleasing design indeed.

The new Macbook is a solidly built ­notebook that not only looks great but it feels thinner and lighter than its predecessor.

While it is slightly slimmer, I can’t say that it was easy to carry around as it did feel heavy in my backpack as I lugged it around from place to place.

Other improvements include a large ­multi-touch trackpad that removes the single button and integrates the click button below the trackpad. Essentially this means you can click anywhere on the trackpad to engage the button.

Aside from it being big, another more subtle change in the trackpad is its new touch-based gestures that we first saw on the Macbook Air in January.

What this essentially allows users to do is navigate with their finger gestures. While the two-finger sliding motion for scrolling down pages is commonplace, there are other more cool gestures that nicely integrate with the Mac OSX.

For instance, placing four fingers on the trackpad and sliding it up and down will give you the ability to engage Exposé or hide all running applications. You can also switch between running applications using the App Switcher by flicking four fingers to left or right.

The new trackpad is fairly accurate in detecting where you point your finger and it is a joy to use with such a large surface area to move around.

In fact, I found the trackpad so usable that rarely I found a need to use a mouse save for performing delicate tasks like correcting an image on Photoshop.

Simply striking

A strikingly attractive glossy 13in LCD screen (1,280 x 800pixel resolution) covered by a single sheet of glass, dominates the Macbook’s interior.

Both pictures and text look brilliantly clear, colourful and sharp on the screen and it was a plesure to read webpages. Even in the dark, the screen is very visible thanks to its LED backlighting to keep it bright while ­consuming less power.

While I had no trouble using the Macbook indoors, using it outdoors proved to be quite difficult with all sorts of things reflecting back on the screen, making it difficult to view what I was reading or typing. Suffice to say, it is advisable to do your work indoors with the Macbook.

Another notable change to the interior portion of the Macbook are the keys, which now bear more resemblance to the Macbook Air with jet black keys that light up in the dark. While typing this review I found the keys were well-spaced and comfortable to type on.

The inclusion of shortcut keys on the top row of keys make it easy to access various features such as widgets, Expose and media playback functions.

All the Macbook’s connectivity ports — two USB ports, Ethernet port as well as a headphone and microphone jack occupy the left side of the Macbook.

Some of the things you may notice missing from the usual line of ports is a Firewire port and VGA-out port.

Firewire users may need to stick to their older Macbooks if they are still keen on using their cables.

Another new addition is the use of a Mini Display port to link your Macbook to project images on a bigger monitor. The drawback to this is that the various extension cables for VGA and DVI-out are sold separately.

The Macbook has an above-average battery performance. I were able to get three hours of power, which is pretty decent for a notebook this size.

One cool feature we liked is how the Macbook has its own built-in battery indicator located on the left side of the notebook. There’s a small button with some tiny LED lights, indicating how much battery power is left in the notebook.

Although it’s a bit small, it’s still a useful tool to have.

Performance

Looking at the hardware side of things, the new Macbook runs on the standard Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with two stock variations one with a 2GHz chip and another with a 2.4GHz chip. Both variations come standard with 2GB of DDR3 RAM that’s expandable up to 4GB.

The processor holds up pretty well while multitasking with different applications running in the background.

We put the Macbook through the paces, using it for some web surfing, watching YouTube videos and playing a DVD movie on the notebook’s optical drive while typing this review.

In the end, I have to say I was pretty impressed that the Macbook was able to do all this without even slowing down.

Storage doesn’t prove to be an issue on the Macbook either, as you get a minimum of 160GB and a maximum of 250GB (found in the 2.4Ghz model).

The Macbook can alternatively be fitted with a smaller and faster, 128GB solid-state drive — however the trade-off is the significantly higher cost.

If you are looking to do more than just web surfing on the Macbook, you are in luck. Apple has done away with the old Intel integrated graphics chip and have instead equipped all new Macbooks with an nVidia GeForce 9400M chip, which gives the Macbook the added power to perform tasks typically reserved for the desktop such as playing games as well as performing some video/photo-editing.

Conclusion

After spending a few days using the Macbook, I have to say that I came away impressed.

On the surface, the new Macbook is a stunner that is sure to catch the eye of any gadget enthusiast.

I also like the inclusion of the bigger trackpad with touch gestures, which makes things like browsing webpages to simple tasks of navigating around the notebook a breeze.

In terms of performance, it’s hard not to like the Macbook. It’s a solid performer and packs enough punch to handle basic games and video/photo-editing applications.

However, there are a few issues that prevent the Macbook from earning a ­maximum score. For one, the screen is overly glossy to the point that it is just too difficult to use outdoors no thanks to the reflections.

Also, the lack of any VGA or DVI-out port forces users to purchase them separately.

Nevertheless, the new Macbook is worth considering as it manages to strike the right balance between power, looks and portability.

Pros: Excellent new design; multitasking is not a problem; decent battery life; big ­trackpad with touch-gesture support.

Cons: Lacks VGA and DVI-out port; screen is too glossy for outdoor use.

I Can't click my drive...!!!!

Not able to open drives on hard disk by double click...?

Sometimes it happens in windows XP, that you are not able to open drives on your hard disk. When you double clicking on the drives icons or right click on the drive/explore in My computer , the drive does not open.But don’t worry this is not a big trouble it can be fixed easily.

This problem is generally caused by most of the viruses which infect windows XP system. They block or restrict your access to any of the drives.A lot of virus, creates an autorun.inf, file at the root of your local drives and USB flash drive. The reason for this is when you open My Computer and tries to access a drive, it will run the virus to infect your computer. Very often anti-virus is able to remove executable virus from system but not autorun.inf. This is because autorun.inf that’s located at the root of your drive is only an instruction file that tells Windows what to automatically run when you access the drive from My Computer.

So even after the virus being cleaned, you’ll find that you’re unable to access your C drive from My Computer. Some people double click C drive, a search window will appear. For some, it’d say that it cannot find the script or file to run. Most common of all, when double click C drive, it gives you an option to choose a program to open.

For computer experts, one look and they’ll know they had to remove the autorun.inf file from C drive. Usually the autorun.inf cannot be easily deleted because it has system, read-only, and hidden file attribute. You can go to command prompt to remove the file attributes and then delete it. Sounds easy for an advance computer user but might be tough for a novice.

Normally when a virus infects a windows system which causes a drive opening problem, it automatically creates a file named autorun.inf in the root directory of each drive.This autorun.inf file is a read only ,hidden and a system file and the folder option is also disabled by the virus. This is deliberately done by the virus in order to protect itself. autorun.inf initiates all the activities that the virus performs when you try to open any drive. You have to just delete this file and restart your system to correct this problem.

FIX 1

1. Open Start>>Run and type cmd and press enter. This will open a command prompt window. On this command prompt window type the following steps.

2. type cd\

3. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf

4. type del autorun.inf

5. now type d: and press enter for d: drive partition. Now repeat steps 3 and 4. Similarly repeat step 5 for all your hard disk partition.

Restart your system and your trouble will be fixed.


FIX 2

Or you can do this simple guide.....(actually im used more, for this method... ;-) )

1. Open you notepad.
2. Save a notepad as a autorun.inf
3. copy or send that file to a problem drive.
4. Restart your system and your trouble will be fixed.

FIX 3

Used a free Disk Heal software. Disk Heal is a useful tool that restores the condition of your storage device after being infected by a virus. Disk Heal is a useful tool that performs many functions. Initially it was a program which fixed disk problems that occur after a virus has been removed with a few additional features like changing the icon of a drive. Currently it performs various other tweaks as well.

Fix double click c drive problem

To fix your C drive problem, download, install and run Disk Heal. Make sure you have administrator privileges. Click the Fix button, type the drive letter and click Fix.

The reality of virtual machines

With Virtual Machine software you can easily test different operating systems and programs, and also derive many other benefits. Read on to find out more. With Virtual Machine (VM) software, a single computer can run more than one operating system, and switching between them is as easy as switching between applications.

And there are many reasons why you would want to run more than one OS all at once. For instance, if you have recently switched to Windows Vista, you are bound to come across an application that is not compatible with the new OS. Instead of losing hair over it or hunting for a PC with Windows XP, you could just install a VM app like Virtual PC 2007 and run Windows XP virtually on your Vista machine.

If you are a fan of older games, you may discover that they only work in Windows 98 or Windows ME. Using VMware Player, you can quickly create a VM running Windows 98, and avoid the need for a separate machine or dual-boot system. Or if you are more adventurous and have installed the 64-bit flavour of Vista, you will find out sooner or later that it doesn't support 16-bit applications. You will probably never need to run a 16-bit application, but if the need arises, then the easy way to do this is to run a 32-bit OS virtually.

Play safe: We live in a very dangerous online world and you should not be downloading just any application or game from the Internet and running it on your machine, unless that is your idea of fun. Instead, you could plonk the application in your virtual OS to see if it misbehaves.

Even if it the app is a virus and ends up killing your virtual machine, it just takes a few clicks to restore the virtual OS to its pristine state. Also, if you are like us and love to test beta software, you know that things can get ugly at times.

Instead of practising abstinence, you could just run it in a virtual machine and if things should go wrong, your PC won't be affected and your virtual machine can be easily restored to a pristine condition.

Linux: Or maybe you are just tired of hearing your techie friends rant about what a great OS Linux is and how it is superior to Windows. But you probably never had the chance to try Linux because you are not ready to abandon Windows or you don't even want to create another partition for Linux.

So now you can find out what the excitement is all about by installing it within a VM and if you find that your friends' claims are not true, you can nuke Linux without leaving a trace on your PC. And if you happen to like it, then there are plenty of Linux distributions for you to check out and you can even run them concurrently in separate VMs.

Hardware considerations: There are plenty of other advantages to running VM software but there are issues to consider too. Firstly, you should re-examine the license conditions for each OS you install under the VM software, even though you are installing the OS on the same machine.

For instance, if you only have one copy of Windows Vista then it is illegal to install the same copy on your virtualisation software. Of course, this doesn't apply to Linux or any of the open source OSes, so you can install as many copies as your want.

Next, you should have a decent machine with ample RAM as the VM will not only share processor time but also need a chunk of RAM to run its OS. To run a VM smoothly, we recommend a PC with at least an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor and 1GB of RAM, although you will be a lot better off if you had a dual-core processor and more RAM.

However, no matter how fast a processor or how much RAM you have, some applications are still off limits – you are not going to be able to play any DirectX 9 or graphics-intensive games with current VMs. If you plan to do this, you are better off installing the OS on a separate partition and creating a dual-boot system. To get started with virtualisation, you will need a VM app – there are many available but the popular ones are Virtual PC 2007, VMware Player or Server, and Parallels Desktop.

Touch Diamond : iPhone killer

HTC has unveiled its new flagship smartphone, the Touch Diamond. Featuring stunning aesthetics such as a black steel finish and a unique shaped back, the compact smartphone is sure to be a hit with the fashion conscious. Targeted mainly at mobile Internet users, the Diamond’s main draw is its fast HSDPA 7.2Mbps (megabits per second) wireless connection speed which is supposed to deliver an improved web browsing experience.

The Diamond has a customised web browser (based on Opera) that allows users to zoom and pan, which makes it easier to view and navigate websites. Also, turning the device sideways automatically rotates the page view from portrait to landscape.

In addition to web browsing, the Diamond includes a YouTube application that can be used to watch or upload video content to the popular videosharing site.

The Diamond also features a touch-responsive user interface called TouchFlo 3D that replaces the standard Windows Mobile Today screen and gives users easy access to their contacts, music, video, photos and weather forecast.

Also, the interface has more visual-based interactions to help you manage text messages, album artwork, video stills and snapshots of contacts in your address book. Plus, the smartphone also comes with an integrated GPS to help guide you to your destination.

Other features include a 2.8in LCD with VGA (640 x 480pixels) resolution, 802.11b/g WiFi connectivity, 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera and 4GB of internal storage.

Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman phone

IF you are looking for a music player phone you can do little wrong in picking a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone. The Sony Ericsson W890i (Sony Ericsson) 3G handphone doesn’t have any fancy features but that doesn’t make it any less fun to use. The Walkman phones are known for ­delivering excellent sound ­quality and the W890i is the latest addition to the series.

The W890i is a pretty looking slim candybar phone — its smooth curved black and gold metal ­exterior looks both classy yet elegant. It also has a very simple design as there aren’t too many function buttons aside from the usual Walkman shortcut key and camera shutter button. And it is so ridiculously thin and light (it only weighs 78g) that once I forgot that I had it in my pocket.

Usability

* TINY BUTTONS: The W890i's tiny keypad makes it difficult to type text messages.
* The W890i’s call quality is excellent as ­incoming and outgoing calls were crystal clear without any static or distortion.
* Typing text messages wasn’t as pleasant as the tiny buttons looked intimidating — it’s as if the phone was designed specifically for people with small fingers.
* I have relatively small fingers and even I had trouble typing text messages as the keys are too close to each other.
* It doesn’t help that the four-way navigation pad is also tiny and you could easily press the hang up button while typing messages.
* Given time and a little bit of patience (lots of it), I was able to work with the tiny keys.
* Also, the W890i has decent battery stamina and I was able to use it for two days on a single charge.

Multimedia

The W890i boasts great sound ­quality even when played back on the phone’s speakers. This of course makes ringtones all the more pleasing to hear. The music player also uses the Walkman 3.0 interface which also doubles as an all-in-one media interface for managing pictures, music and videos. And searching for songs is easy as you can look up by artists, albums or tracks.

Moving on, the 3.2-megapixel camera is fairly basic with no ­autofocus or flash for taking shots in the dark. Also, because there is no macro mode for the camera, taking close up shots of objects is next to ­impossible. While there is a high degree of noise present in pictures, it is only noticeable when zoomed in really close. Suffice to say, pictures taken on the W890i are perfect for posting up on a blog or photo sharing site, which will often downsize the photos.

Overall, the camera isn’t too bad — the photos turned out nice with good contrast and vibrant colour. Plus, you can choose to view all the photos as a slideshow complete with music and flashy transition effects. Very nice indeed. The camera can record short videos at QVGA (320 x 240pixels) resolution at 30fps (frames per second) which for the most part was serviceable but looked extremely blurry when there is the slightest hint of ­movement.

The W890i comes with other features that compliment the Walkman phone’s music playing function such as the TrackID ­application which identifies songs based on a five second clip played to it. Also, the phone also comes with a pre-installed with Google Maps for viewing maps and satellite images to help you find your way around.

Pros: Walkman music player; great call quality; decent camera.
Cons: Tiny keys; camera lacks macro mode and autofocus.
Display: 2in LCD (320 x 240pixel resolution)
Camera: 3.2-megapixel

Chumby in your home

Chumby is essentially a cross between a clock radio, a Beanie Baby, a digital picture frame, a handheld game, and that elusive grail of the Web era, an Internet "appliance." Well, it does make for a good clock radio. Designed in part by Apple (AAPL) alumni,Chumby is soft all around except for its touchscreen and a rear panel with a power button and ports for USB connections and the power cord. On top, there's a button hidden under the soft leather that you squeeze to control certain functions.

Using Wi-Fi, Chumby will connect to your wireless Internet router and fetch all manner of content from the Web—so long as you decide in advance what sort of stuff you'd like. Forget spontaneity. Chumby is not designed for Web surfing or even basic two-way communication like e-mail and instant messaging. Instead, Chumby is all about an overblown Web 2.0 fascination with software widgets, open-source idealism, and building a new community around them. Chumby users are encouraged to customize the device by hacking software and hardware, and then gab about it with other Chumby enthusiasts on Chumby.com.

With its beanbag shape and soft exterior, the Chumby resembles a computer designed by Teddy Ruxpin. Measuring 5 inches wide by 4 inches tall by 3 inches deep, the Chumby feels like the perfect gadget to place under your arm and take around the house, if it weren't for the fact that it needs to be plugged in to operate. It's tragic that a gadget with all the cuddly appeal of a newborn puppy must be leashed to a wall-wart at all times, but we expect the Chumby's socket-dependence to be undone soon. In fact, the manufacturers include an "unsupported" empty battery terminal in the guts of the Chumby, which industrious hackers have already spliced batteries to.

Gazing at the Chumby's face, you'll find a color touch-screen LCD, a small metal grommet for personalizing your Chumby with decorative charms (a few are included), and three pinhole openings below the screen that conceal a small microphone. Like most computers, all the geek stuff is located on the back of the Chumby, including a 3.5mm headphone jack; power switch; power adapter input; two USB ports; and a pair of stereo speakers. The top of the Chumby is visually bare, except for a dime-size marking that covers a multipurpose button beneath the leather upholstery.

Widget Windfall: These widgets, developed both internally and by Chumby hobbyists, serve up news, games, photo slide shows, video clips, live Webcams, and plenty of offbeat distractions, such as a belligerent cartoon bunny who'll insult you in French and a pug who licks the screen from inside. There's also a built-in music widget to play Web radio, podcasts, or music direct from your iPod, though not your copyright-protected iTunes.

X4 Labs Penis Extender

Peyronie's disease is characterized by the formation of hardened tissue (fibrosis) in the penis that causes pain, curvature, and distortion, usually during erection. The penis is the male organ for reproduction and urination. It is composed of two columns of erectile tissue (the corpora cavernosa); the corpus spongiosum, which contains the tube that carries urine and semen from the body (urethra); and the sheath that surrounds the erectile tissue (tunica albuginea). In Peyronie's disease, dense, fibrous scar tissue (plaque) forms in the tunica albuginea. According to a report published in 1995 by the National Institutes of Health, Peyronie's disease occurs in about 1% of men. It is most common between the ages of 45 and 60, but it also occurs in young and elderly men. Prevalence may be higher because of reluctance to seek medical attention for the condition and failure to report in cases with mild symptoms.

The cause of Peyronie's disease is unknown. Cases that develop suddenly are often caused by trauma to the penis (e.g., invasive penile procedure, injury, extremely vigorous sexual activity). Invasive penile procedures include urethral catheterization, cystoscopy, and transurethral prostatectomy. Symptoms range from pain to scar tissue which results in penile curvature. The pain associated often dissipates within the first twelve months, unfortunately it may be too much to withstand amongst certain sufferers. Although this disease causes physical discomfort, it also results in erectile dysfunction.

Treatment options for patients with Peyronie's disease are limited. The goal of treatment is to reduce pain and maintain sexual function. Surgery is the only effective treatment, and because Peyronie's may resolve on its own, physicians often advise waiting 1 or 2 years before choosing this option.

Palm Centro - smartphones

With Windows Mobile on the rise, the iPhone continuing to grab headlines, and Google’s mobile OS Android making waves, it’s easy to forget that Palm’s smartphone OS is among the most mature and flexible approaches for phones. And Centro is here as a gentle reminder. At 4.2 x 2.1 x 0.73 inches (HxWxD) and 4.2 ounces, the spectacularly small unit makes smartphones compact and affordable ($99 with Sprint plan) for everyone. With a microSD card slot and 64MB RAM, it gives you room to work.

The best news is that Palm essentially has shrunken the Treo without compromising too many features. The full and very good Palm OS is here, with email, text messaging, and a strong mobile Web browser called Blazer. Plus, the Centro boasts a large library of apps, such as DataViz’s Documents to Go program for creating Office-compatible documents. We loved the addition of Sprint’s IM client, which lets you flick across open tabs for AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN accounts. Google Maps weren’t quite as animated as the iPhone’s, but they got the job done of mapping and providing turn-by-turn directions.

Input flexibility is what makes the Centro shine above anything else in this form factor. The QWERTY keyboard is the smallest you will ever find, but we found it surprisingly usable. The touchscreen, although a bit challenging at this size, let us dial and navigate menus easily.

And because the Centro runs on the EVDO broadband network, you also get Sprint TV streaming video service. Although it’s a nice feature, the disappointing low resolution of the video feeds just didn’t take full advantage of the bright and sharp 1.56-inch display.

The Centro's 312MHz Intel XScale CPU can be a little sluggish in the multimedia player, and we wouldn’t want to rely on that tiny keypad for dialing. But quibbles aside, Palm’s superb, approachable Centro gives you all the power of the big smartphone bricks at a fraction of the bulk.

Specs: Palm OS 5.4.9; 312MHz Intel XScale processor; 64MB memory; Touchscreen: 1.56 inches, 320 x 320; 1,150mAH Li-Ion battery (3.5 hours talk time, 300 hours standby)

Loving Couple LCD Monitor..

TAIWAN-BASED TPV Technology, a newcomer to the local LCD monitor market, is banking on its four AOC branded models to catch up with the more established players.

The largest screen model is the 22in 210V (RM899) which has a native 1,680 x 1,050-pixel resolution and is capable of displaying up to 16.7million colours. The company said the screen is big enough to view two A4-sized windows side by side.

Next is the 19in Romeo & Juliet, which probably catches more attention not just due to its unique name but also its interesting design — it has a piano black finish with high-gloss bezels, streamlined photo-frame outline and hidden keys for more elegance.

Cool looks aside, this model comes with a 1,440 x 900-pixel resolution and 3,000:1 contrast ratio. Both come with the company's analogue Dynamic Colour Boost technology, which offers additional natural colour adjustments to enrich pictures quality.
