When you purchase an LCD monitor. You should look at these stuffs for best performance and quality:
Response time - lower the number, the better.
Supports DVI and VGA.
The bigger the resolution, the better.
Look for LCD’s with 120Hz+ because thats the best right now. The higher the number, the clearer the video. For pictures comparision between 60Hz and 120Hz LCD Monitor, click here.
Contract ratio - (x:1) The higher the x number is the better.
StarCraft is one of my favorite games I played in High School. After eight years StarCraft 2 is finally coming out. Below are some video footage of the game play. They are not too clear but if you are a fan of StarCraft, you can tell its great.
I’m going to be doing a senior project design this fall. Just wondering for any suggestion on what to add to my project.
My project is mainly a renewable energy that powers an input and output device. The input and output devices will be use as an automation signal generator. It will send the correct signal out when it receives an input it understands.
Right now I only have these cases for my project.
1. If someone enters room, turn on the light.
2. Stream video to TV from computer feed such as videos playing in Windows Media Player.
3. Turn on lights from the computer applications GUI.
I’m assuming the top of the line Dual Core with the highest cache buffer. Usually for a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz it takes around 2 hours to convert one hour movie to XviD, but amazingly the Pentium Dual Core is way better than P4 3.0GHz. According to some converting experts who owns a Dual Core, claims to convert a one hour movie to XviD in just 10 minutes. For those people that does a lot of video encoding and converting video formats. Consider getting a Dual Core because saving time means having more time to make money. Please don’t take my word for it, you should also do some research on your own. Try googling, Dual Core converting or Dual Core conversion or whatever similar keywords you can think of.
A few days ago, maybe about 4 or 5 days, the iPhone was selling for over $1,500. I did not catch the hard drive capacity of the phone, but still even with the 8GB it cost about half as much as $1,500. Don’t worry that is not the retail price, but due to the limited stock of it people are willing to put out that much money for one. What can people say, they are addicted to brand names with unique features. It won’t be too long when imitators starts to come out. I will be getting one of those instead of the iPhone. I’m not a brand name kind of person.
I found this while looking up for unusual technologies. There are keyboards are there made of light. With this keyboard you will not need to worry about getting a duster to blow dust and weird matters out of your keyboards. Just turn it off every time you are not using it.
Well everyone fancy tech comes with a fancy price. This keyboard made of light cost around $179 USD. Maybe when I’m rich I will get one, but for now I’m sticking with the old fashion keyboards. Check out the virtual laser keyboard in action.
Doesn’t work like it should some time, That is the beauty if having someone demo it.
Here is a list of what you can use the Virtual Laser Keyboard on:
# Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s)
# Cellular Telephones
# Laptops
# Tablet PCs
# Space saving Computers
# Clean Rooms
# Industrial Environments
# Test Equipment
# Sterile and Medical Environments
# Transport (Air, Rail, Automotive)
Today, Yahoo published an article on something interesting. In Japan, there is a technology that allows a person to send signals to electronic devices and then be mapped into something that device could understand. Hitachi is developing and researching with this device that does not need to implant anything into the human body, but rather measures brain waves.

In the demonstration, they use the problem solving part of the brain to make the train move. For example, when you are doing math problems or solving a problem, it will activate the train to go forward. When a person stops solving, the train will stop. This new technology is pretty interesting and fun for Hitachi. More research will need to be done. This demo is probably done so that department in Hitachi could get more funding. Currently the helmet is only capable of doing simple task. More complicated specific instructions may work in the future.
I have my fair experience with computer speakers and I must say that Logitech has the best quality speakers comparing against same class and price with other competitor speaker companies, such as Creative, Altec Lansing, etc.
The speaker above is the one that I have. It is a Logitech Z-230 2.1. I got it for $30.00 with free shipping. The quality could match some speakers that are in the $80 range. The bass are more than enough, which you can configure. The sound quality and volume is more than good enough for me and I’m a person that is very picky of quality. The also provide the conversion device that allows you to connect to PC or TV.
