Also from the New York Times, an interesting piece about how other countries are trying to build Internet backbone infrastructure to bypass the US. Even amongst our allies, there's worry about how a US-dominated net would expose information:

“Since passage of the Patriot Act, many companies based outside of the United States have been reluctant to store client information in the U.S.,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. “There is an ongoing concern that U.S. intelligence agencies will gather this information without legal process. There is particular sensitivity about access to financial information as well as communications and Internet traffic that goes through U.S. switches.”

MicroNews: Η Intel ανακοίνωσε τις προδιαγραφές του PHY Interface για τη τρίτη έκδοση του πρότυπου PCI Express. To PCI Express 3.0 θα υπερδιπλασιάσει το bandwidth που προσφέρει το PCI Express 2.0, στα 8GT/s με θύρες PCIe εύρους 8-bit, 16-bit και 32-bit. Θα παρέχει "προς τα πίσω" συμβατότητα με τα προγενέστερα πρότυπα ενώ θα μπορεί να παράσχει την απαραίτητη ισχύ σε κάρτες που καταναλώνουν περισσότερα από 300W! Περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για τη τρίτη έκδοση του PCI Express στο επίσημο έγγραφο της Intel.

Modelul Sony DAV-IS10 a revolutionat modul in care utilizatorii se gandesc la un sistem Home Cinema integrat, prin finisajele in negru lucios, butoanele de comanda elegante si discrete si prin boxele atat de mici incat pot fi cu usurinta tinute in palma.

Modelul DAV-IS50 este un sistem home theatre elegant si compact, capabil de performante uimitoare si cu o putere totala de 450 de wati, suficienta pentru a umple cu sunet ce taie respiratia pana si camerele de mari dimensiuni. Centrul de control cu finisaje de un negru lucios combina un player DVD/CD/MP3, functii de procesare a sunetului si cu un radio RDS FM/AM intr-o carcasa de doar 21 de cm latime si putin peste 10 cm inaltime. Comenzile discrete, pe baza de senzori, se trezesc la viata pe panoul de control la simpla miscare de mana a utilizatorului, aducand o nota in plus de eleganta design-ului de o simplitate sofisticata.

Noul model de boxe-spate wireless ofera un sunet de calitate, fara interferente, si mai ales fara a necesita desfasurarea prin camera a unor inestetice cabluri de conectare.

Pentru a plasa utilizatorul in chiar centrul actiunii pe parcursul unui joc sau al unui meci, modul de functionare Sony Sports permite transmiterea cu claritate a vocii arbitrului prin boxa centrala, in timp ce sunetul multimii de spectatori invaluie utilizatorul din boxele laterale. Exact ca pe stadion.

Si pentru a beneficia nu doar de sunet superb ci si de imagini pe masura, DAV-IS50 permite scalarea semnalului video de la rezolutia DVD la rezolutie HD 1080p, pentru o experienta de vizionare superba pe cele mai noi televizoare LCD BRAVIA™.

Deja cunoscutele functii BRAVIA™ Sync si Digital Cinema Auto Calibration ofera o exceptionala usurinta de utilizare – cu doar o singura apasare de buton se pot obtine atat rularea de filme cat si de sunet surround.

Optional, utilizatorul poate achizitiona un adaptor DIGITAL MEDIA PORT pentru a rula muzica de pe un media player mobil direct prin boxele sistemului DAV-IS50. Adaptorul nu doar conecteaza dispozitivul mobil la incinta acustica ci si imbunatateste calitatea sunetului din fisierele MP3 prin intermediul sistemului de amplificare a semnalului dispozitivelor audio mobile (Portable Audio Enhancer).

Totul se adauga unui sistem care stabileste noi standarde in privinta sistemelor home theatre integrate: compact, elegant si mai inteligent ca niciodata, DAV-IS50 aduce experienta din cinematografe mai aproape ca niciodata de utilizator.

Just watched the fireworks on warrender park road. It was nice.

Recently, my Lexmark Z52 stop printing. Whenever I print, I would get the error "Carrier Stall". The problem was not resolved when I reset the printer several times. I also tried reinstalling the cartridge, but that did not help.

I did some google search and discover the following knowledge base issue. From what I can determine, there is a clear plastic strip right behind the print carriage (where your ink cartridge sits) that the printer reads as it prints. If this cartridge is unreadable, you could get a "Carriage Stall" error or the carriage starts slamming itself against the side of the printer.

The knowledge base article suggest flicking it. This did not help and it would appear that the strip was in place properly. I got out some wet paper towel and carefully wiped it down and then make sure it was back in alignment. This did not immediately fixed the problem, but I figure there was probably some moisture on the strip. I waited overnight for the strip to dry and tried again. This time, the printer worked perfectly.

While I do not guarantee that this will fix your printer, why not give it a try. It cost nothing and it may save another printer from going into the landfill.

I'm moving to Virginia today and needed to upgrade my old Magellan GPS Nav and bought a newer Magellan Roadmate 1400. Here is my unboxing. Here's the video...

I mean, come on. What a great way to dig yourself into a hole by nicknaming your device "DREAM". I've been following along on all the details as best as possible and am excited to see that Android will have a home in a few weeks.

But if there is ONE thing that HTC knows how to do (HTC, btw, stands for the cartoonish name High Tech Corporation), it is building devices that look and act like they were designed and manufactured by chumps. I owned an HTC device that ran Windows Mobile a few months ago. It was AWFUl. The slider is hard to operate. The keys are a bitch to operate. When you try to type with the slider out, you're always afraid that the device is going to fall out of your hands. The fat slider, the four stupid buttons at the bottom, the standard T-Mobile co-branding at the top.

Sounds awful lot like business as usual, no? Where is the iPhone-like hardware disruption? Check out these stealth photos for yourself: http://www.engadget.com/photos/htcs-android-driven-dream-revealed-in-glorious-spy-photos/1008301/

Bueno hace poco encontre una aplicacion para el movil que se llama VrClient que es una sencilla aplicacion para poder escuchar una radio online...

esta aplicacion es practicamente facil es sencillo, solo debes cambiar la ip que esta predeterminada a la de la mcradio y le das play/stop y listo.

Pueden descargar de aca --> http://www.getjar.com/products/5411/VrClient  y despues instalarlo a su movil.

pd: La calidad de la transmicion depende de la velocidad que le da su operadora local ya sea 3G o EDGE
