Be a good geek, even after your death

2009-02-05T20:03:00.000-08:00

Being a geek being alive is good. But be when you died, it is the class (this sentence is not to be taken at first level ...). Anyway, a Dutchman named Henk Rozema had the idea of integrating an LCD screen on your gravestone. As is delightful.

The utility of this LCD? It lights up when someone is posted at your tombstone, and passes messages from the past people used to stone. The screen also displays photos and even videos! The latter are against those of the deceased.

This bright idea came to be the head of Henk Rozema after it has developed a DVD of his own life to celebrate its 65 years. Many people asked him to make a maximum of copies, and that is when the idea of digital tomb began to germinate in the minds of Henk Rozema.

c-Jays, the helmet of the North

2009-01-30T01:08:00.000-08:00

The Jays had manufacturer known for its headset-Ear Jays d-and q-Jays. The manufacturers put on the quality of its products, and is distinguished by the level of its equipment packs. It recidivism, and increases its presence in France, with the c-helmet Jays. It also abandons any unintended intrusion in our ears (I admit not a big fan of in-ear).

C-Jays helmet is a semi-open breathing quality. At 120 euros, we are hoping no less. The plastics are solid without coming aggravate weight. With 73 grams, the headset is very light and comfortable port. Comfort enhanced by the provision of three games pads square (.. Ah. Swedish design when we take you). At each of choosing the most appropriate size. The equipment does not stop there. C-Jays comes with a small bag (c-Jays is a foldable headset), an adapter mini-jack/gros-jack, an auxiliary audio jack and an adapter for airplanes.

The audio quality is there. Like many helmets Sound, c-jays slightly favors the grave. Without opt for monitors control, we would have preferred greater neutrality. Not everything is perfect. The wire connection is ridiculously small. And this is not the extension provided that improves things. They are satisfied when used with a player, but listening to a computer or a chain is very acrobatic. C-Jays are a good pair of headphones original design and discreet. Too bad it costs too expensive.

2009-01-28T15:28:00.000-08:00

This clock has the air of being very trivial, but you again because this is a real tool for espionage in films like the James Bond. It offers integrated camera, and since the start is activated, it records all the smallest details in the place where it is placed. It transmits video (with sound) up to a range of 30 meters through walls has a receiver that can be plugged into any source (PC, TV, recorder ...).

In short it is the gadget spy ideal for couples who do not trust and who want to be sure that any act of infidelity takes place in their room. This awakening is even when sold at a price of 685 euros in spy-online.com which is relatively very expensive but as I 've said it is more spy equipment professional than a gadget!

NETBOOK: Acer Aspire range reiterates its One and launches a 10-inch model

2009-01-22T05:02:00.000-08:00

Building on the success of its range of netBook Aspire One, Acer is now launching a family of machines to screen 10 inches diagonally. All the technical advances, while the price remains almost identical. Discovery.

Now equipped with a screen with a diagonal of 10 inches - still a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels - the new Acer Aspire One D150 sees increase its size. With the shores of 260 x 185 mm x 33 but remains in good average netBook opting for this size screen.

The weight is also up slightly, but still very reasonable: 1.18 Kg equipped with the standard battery of 3 cells (2200 mAh) that provides a theoretical autonomy of 3 hours, and 1.33 kg with 6-cell model ( 4400 mAh) for 6 hours of endurance.

The Acer Aspire One D150 welcomes his left ports VGA video output, Ethernet (RJ45), a USB 2.0, an entrance and exit to the mini-jack 3.5 mm, and a reader multi memory card formats.

Now embarking standard hard disk with a capacity of 160 GB, the new Aspire One D150 thus deadlocked on the second drive of SD memory cards which equipped its predecessor. Users of digital cameras will regret, the other buyers should not be impacted by this change.

The touchpad seems there has been improved in the new Aspire One D150, the place he is going much higher than in the past.

RAM is now 1 GB standard, and can easily be extended to 2 GB maximum. Ditto for connectivity, a 3G card could take place inside the D150.

Finally, the operating system is used by Windows XP Home Edition SP3, a specially adapted to grinding netBook. However, big disappointment for fans of Linux, because the manufacturer does not equipped version of this operating system.

Worked in design than its predecessor, the new Aspire One D150 builds on the same broad trends: slim, aluminum inserts imitation and many colors available: black, white, blue and red.

Compatible WiFi 802.11 b and g, Bluetooth 2.0, webcam and microphone 300,000 pixels are all integrated as standard on the Aspire One D150.

Three variations of component supply manufacturer Acer in France. The first starts at 329 euros with 3 cell battery, the second board a 6-cell battery for 349 euros, and the top of the range - 449 euros - adds a module integrated 3G.

Sony Vaio P: first grip first and disappointments

2009-01-21T05:13:00.000-08:00

We had the opportunity to have in hand a few days a copy of the new computer pre ultra portable Sony Vaio P. Particularly compact, lightweight design with a very licked, the Vaio P shattered the border between notebook and NETBOOK. However, several technological choices made by Sony seem highly questionable. Decryption.

Announced at the recent CES in Las Vegas, the Sony Vaio P raises some curiosity with its totally new positioning. At the time NETBOOK - it is very small and light - this computer is also in the course of the notebook, particularly because of its price, much higher than most of its competitors.

But we believe the Vaio P is primarily a NETBOOK. Structured around an Intel Atom dual core clocked at 1.33 GHz, it comes with 2 GB of RAM. These specifications are quite close (although slightly higher) than other configurations netBook market.

The same format for the same width, but greatly reduced in the sense of depth (Sony abandoned altogether trackpad), and thickness, which is almost twice as thick as the netBook competitors. Finally, the weight is simply amazing: the Vaio has only 624 grams on our balance.

Operating system and screen: two major differences

Where the Vaio P differs widely from other netBook market is on the choice of operating system (Windows Vista) and the resolution of the screen.

To be precise, our preproduction model was equipped with a SP1 version of Windows Vista Home Premium. The Windows Experience Index User stood at 2.7 points, compared to 3.7 score achieved by a Dell Latitude E4300 notebook. Finally, knowing that on average, users of Windows Vista on desktops have a Windows User Experience which is usually between 4 and 5.

Windows Vista does not appear to be suitable for an Intel Atom, even dual-core, and even equipped by 2 GB of RAM. The whole is slow or very slow at times, and each handling requests, see wait several seconds before the system reacts and the display is refreshed.

We would therefore seem more appropriate to engage with a computer operating system Windows XP Netbook, and possibly to offer a Linux version. This is not so, and the potential purchaser of the Vaio P will accommodate Windows Vista.
