In fact, the screen will be on display starting in Consumer Electronics Show in January this year claimed able to reduce power consumption to 75% when used under the blazing sun. The secret lies in the use of a reflective layer placed on the panel LCD screen's backlight is.

At the time used in the room, the panel can be enabled to emit light that will illuminate the display on the screen while at the time used in the outdoor bar is reflective of the sun to illuminate the display screen. Even when used outside the room, the screen can achieve this level of contrast four times higher than normal screen mode and to change this and also the only way to press the button that has been provided.

According to news from TGDaily on Tuesday (23/12/08) mentioned that in this mode sunlight, LCD screens consume power only about 25% of normal power. LCD screen measuring 14.1 inches normally consume power between 50 watts to 70 watts and decrease power consumption to 75% means very clearly for the laptop.

Recognize Variety UPS

Power Supply Uninteruptible or better known as UPS, for some people, this term may sound familiar. However, people often only know two types of UPS that is most easily found in the market. Both types are the type of UPS and standby UPS type online. In fact, UPS has several other advantages and disadvantages of each.

American Power Conversion (APC), a global leader in critical power services and cooling services are also popular with UPSnya products, provide information and tips about multiformity UPS so users can better identify and select the UPS in accordance with their needs.

Standby
Standby UPS type is the type used by the user's home to be with their PC. Transfer Switch has been set to take the AC input (direction) as the main source of power, while the resources taken from the backup battery or inverter (at the time the main source of power off). UPS equipment is able to perform like this against interference filtrasi power and flow management, in addition to the benefits for users of the design of an efficient, small size and cost that must be regarded issued cheap.

Line Interactive
UPS is the type most often used on small business units, web developers, and a number of servers that are in the government department. This is because in addition to having a high level of reliability, this type also has the ability to adjust the voltage is quite good. The inverter (Battery charger from the modifier to AC) is always connected to the output of the UPS system. In normal circumstances, will make the inverter Battery. Meanwhile, in the electricity off, Transfer Switch will close and drain power from the Battery to the UPS output. Position the inverter is always connected to the output filter to provide additional resources. This makes this type of UPS with lots of servers used for electricity and conditions that are not too good.

Double Conversion Online
This type is the most common for UPS power with more than 10kVA. This type has similarities with the type Standby. Just type a main source of energy that lies in the inverter, not the AC power source. On this type, the main electricity supply dissolution will not trigger the switch because of the transfer of AC electric current at the entrance to the input of the Battery which provides power to the inverter is located at the output. Therefore, when the flow of AC power is lost, the flow of energy will be transferred immediately without taking a rest when the diversion occurs. UPS is the type of performance above average. This type can be said to a picture of an ideal UPS, type unfortunately this heat is high enough.

Delta Conversion Online
UPS is a diagram of Double Conversion technology (Double Conversion) that terah updated and is available with power 5kVA to 1.6MW. Have a similarity with the type Double Conversion, using this type of inverter for the supply voltage. When power supply is lost, this type do the same type with Double Conversion.

Suppose a package should only be transmitted from the floor 4 to 5 floors. Delta Conversion technology to save energy in a way to deliver the package according to the differences in the starting point and end point only. Delta Conversion has two functions, the first is to control the characteristics of the input power. Meanwhile, the second function is to control the flow of direct input to the process of charging the battery system. Things to remember this is the type of energy that minimize terbuang. In addition, it has a high compatibility of the various types of generators and reduce the need for the use of cables.

In the end, all of the UPS mentioned above have their purpose and no one type of any type that can be the most 'ideal'. We must be able to recognize the needs and the right environment where the UPS will be put before deciding what type to use.

Refers to the categorization discussed previously, the table below will make it easier to see in which type fits your needs.

UPS Type: Standby
The advantages: low cost, high efficiency, compact design
Disadvantages: The battery still in use when the power off; not suitable for use on the 2kVA
Description: Most suitable for personal users

UPS Type: Line Interactive
Excellence: High Reliability, high efficiency, good voltage adjustment
Disadvantages: Not suitable for use on the 5kVA
Description: Type of UPS is the most frequently used in the condition of electricity that is not stabilized

UPS Type: Double Conversion On-Line
The advantage: the voltage adjustment is very good, easy to connect in parallel
Disadvantages: Low efficiency; expensive price for the type of power under 5kVA
Description: close to the ideal image of UPS, but the heat is high enough.

UPS Type: Delta Conversion On-line
The advantage: the voltage adjustment is very good, high-efficiency
Disadvantages: Not suitable for use under 5kVA
Description: high efficiency to extend life cycle when the device is used on a large system

Nokia integrate System Sign-in at the Ovi

Nokia realize the many obstacles that occur in accessing the Internet, including the use of multiple accounts to access the site.

To that end, Nokia is finally making a service that combines all incoming access to many sites, one in the roof, Ovi.com.

During a year later, Nokia has purchased dozens of companies engaged in Internet services, including the purchase price of USD8, 1 billion for the acquired company Navteq navigation. This is done to Nokia still retains the top of the world mobile phone market and the power of the Internet era.

Finnish handset vendor origin is also combine each have access to services in a single integrated service called Ovi.com. Even to visit each of the existing service, Nokia users do not need to use additional username or password. This is done to ease the user to access all the Internet service owned by Nokia in Ovi.

"We have to unite to sign-in system in our Ovi, so that our users more comfortable and has experience in a different berinternet," said Nokia spokesman, as quoted by Reuters on Monday (22/12/2008).

Nokia expects, in the year 2011 they are able to produce as much revenue USD2, 79 billion from Internet service, particularly focusing on the navigation service, music, games, messaging and media. This means that Nokia will compete directly with Google, Apple and Yahoo.

Unfortunately, Nokia does not provide definitive data how many internet users that they have, it is reported that as much revenue has recorded 115 million euros since July to September this year

Lenovo ThinkPad W700, making the PC Overrides

Lenovo products released this feasible as the replacement for the PC. Seen from the overall performance, Lenovo ThinkPad W700 is indeed give 'experience' that is not much different when using a PC. But with the many advantages offered, there is only one barrier, which makes machines failed to become the perfect replacement for the PC.

One is clearly visible is the decision to use the media keep the hard disk with the speed of play is just 5,400 rpm. With the increasing number of laptops that start to switch to a media saved SSD (solid state drive) that have access speed faster than conventional hard disk, hard disk with a speed of 5,400 rpm to play it feels very slow. May be another problem if Lenovo install a hard disk with 7,200 rpm speed of play.

Despite the constraints of the media store, the ThinkPad W700 is indeed quite powerful. Processor that is used is the Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53GHz, which works supported by DDR2 2GB of RAM. For graphics card, Lenovo mempercayakannya on NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M, which can be reliable enough to handle jobs that require high performance VGA including games.

With 17-inch screen size, the laptop is not feasible as the engine that easily brought to any easily. However, the large size of this seemed to make it more convenient to use. The first clear screen size makes a wide eyes when I quickly tired of working in a long time. Display screen with a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels, it looks very sharp and bright and increasingly mengokohkan value ergonomis this screen.

Excess second is the size of each key on the keyboard is big enough and have the space distance between the button far enough so easily operated and not make it down even though the performance is used for a long time. Construction buttons is also designed to create good, so I quickly tired of the finger.

Completed ports such as USB, mini-FireWire, DisplayPort, DVI, ExpressCard slot and is also available on this laptop. This is supported by features such as wireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which increasingly seems to add more value from the engine, which is sold as the device is working. And seems to understand the desire of the business, Lenovo accidentally install the Windows XP operating system even though of course you can still replace them with other operating systems at any time because the ThinkPad W700 is also equipped with a DVD Writer.

In short, if you do not use the objection to the hard disk with low-speed turn, ThinkPad W700 is still quite powerful as a PC replacement facilities work. Feasible if the Good Gear Guide provides an assessment 4 + stars out of 5 stars for the products that are sold with the price of U.S. $ 2,500, or around Rp 27 million of this.

According to Helmy Anam, Head of the Marketing Communications Department's Acer Group, the success of this merger at the same time strengthen Acer to implement the multibrand strategy that consists of four brand, namely Acer, Packard Bell, Gateway and e-Machines.

Everything is based on unique users, but still maintain the characteristics and the character of each brand, said Helmy told reporters before the launch of eMachines in the Hotel Melia Purosani of Yogyakarta on Wednesday (17/12/2008).

Helmy added availability of e-Machines in Indonesia will be able to expand the PC penetration, especially for beginning computer users, Small Office Home Office (SOHO), and among students or students.

"This is certainly the future will be the solution for the region in order to access technology with affordable, reliable and comfortable," he said.

He said that currently, the Acer has Servive Customer Center in four cities, namely Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta and Medan.

While specific to the e-Machines, which began available since November 2008 and, Helmy said, will be available with a series of laptop eMD720-320516Mi.

Japan asks Google Close Google Street View

A number of lawyers and professors in Japan ask the Internet giant Google to turn Google Street View, because the votes violated someone's privacy.

Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps introduced since 2007 and provides 360 degree views of streets and allow users to see the city of their choice and the surrounding metropolitan area on the primary level.

Currently, the Google Street view is able to display the 12 views of the city streets in Japan, 50 cities in the United States, and several other cities in Europe.

"We strongly believe that what Google clearly violate the basic rights that are owned by someone else," said constitutional law professor at Sophia University, Tokyo, Yasuhiko Tajima, such as the BBC This Friday (19/12/2008).

According to Yasuhiko Tajima, which is also the chairman of the Campaign Against Surveillance Society demanded Google to stop the service and remove all the images recorded from the Google Street View.

Protests related to the termination of the appreciation in the Japanese media after a number of Japanese citizens find the picture house in Street View. While in the United States, stronger protests after a woman is seen sunbathing in the house.

Meanwhile, Google's representative in Japan can not yet issued a statement regarding the demands termination of the service.

Ten Firefox extensions to keep your browsing private and secure

Most people lock their doors and windows, use a paper shredder to protect themselves from identity theft, and install antivirus software on their computers. Yet they routinely surf the Internet without giving a second thought to whether their browser is secure and their personal information safe. Unfortunately, it's easy for someone with nefarious intentions to use a Web site to glean data from -- or introduce spyware to -- your computer. Even worse, sometimes all you have to do is randomly click on a site to have your data probed in a most unwelcome way.

Mozilla Firefox has several security settings you can adjust via the Preferences pane, but there are also more than 150 privacy and security extensions you can add as well. They are easy to install and take little time to set up; some even work automatically after you restart your browser. Let's have a look at some of the most popular and most useful.

One of the best ways to protect your computer is to prevent the browser from using JavaScript at Web sites without permission. JavaScript, though useful for developing glitzy Web sites, has gained something of a reputation as a method for doing Bad Things to unsuspecting computers. NoScript is an extension that makes every site that uses JavaScript ask your permission before running it. NoScript can render JavaScript-heavy sites unreadable, but it provides a whitelist of acceptable sites that you can easily add to in order to speed up your surfing experience.

Many people use Tor to hide their online surfing habits. FoxTor provides a way to mask and unmask your browser on the fly, without having to commit to anonymous surfing throughout an entire browsing session. It requires the use of Tor and Privoxy.

Your browser's history logs help provide a speedier surfing experience for you. Unfortunately, skilled hackers can peek at them remotely to see where you've been. Deleting log information after each browsing session would slow you down, but fortunately, there's another way. Don't delete your data -- hide it with SafeHistory.

Some of the most sensitive information sent over the Internet travels via email, so many people prefer to send their messages encrypted. The Gmail S/MIME extension encrypts Gmail messages, including attachments, automatically, as long as you have the recipient's digital certificate.

While Firefox 2 has built-in phishing protection, it never hurts to have a backup plan. The premise behind Petname is simple: leave reminder notes on your trusted Web sites and the notes will automatically appear each time you return. If you surf to what you assume is one of your whitelisted sites and no reminder note appears, you'll know something's not right. This extension is particularly useful if you're running an older version of Firefox without anti-phishing protection.

SecurePasswordGenerator is a long name for a little extension that sits in your toolbar and helps you create unique passwords. Half the battle of staying safe online is using complex and different passwords whenever you register at a Web site. Use this tool to help you create a unique password everywhere you go.

Have you ever wondered where the information you type into an online form goes once you hit "send"? With FormFox, you can find out. Once you download and enable this extension, hovering your mouse over the data field of a form or search box will reveal exactly who receives the information you enter. Use this extension to check out an unfamiliar Web site before you cough up your name, address, and credit card information while doing your online holiday shopping.

Many people use disposable or temporary email addresses around the Internet to avoid email spam. Although spam is generally considered more of a nusiance than a security issue, there are occasions when a disposable address may be a safer option than providing a real one (on message forums, for example). There are several temporary email services to choose from; the TrashMail.net Firefox extension makes that service an attractive choice.

Sometimes you need to protect your information from the prying eyes of people around you. If you're surfing at an airport or local coffee shop, people wandering past can have a look at the titles of the tabs you have open. Page Title Eraser lets you either blank out the title and icon in your browser's tabs, or replace the text with something of your choice.

When trying to protect your privacy, the last thing you want is for a Web site to collect data on what you do while you visit: where you click, how long you view a page, and so on. That's called profiling. While it's harmless if a site tracks data on how long it took you to read an article on how to install a video game, most people feel that there's no reason a Web site needs to know anything about your surfing habits, even if it's only to collect data for marketing purposes.

Most extensions and tools commonly used to prevent data profiling by search engines work by concealing information from outsiders. TrackMeNot takes the opposite approach and actually sends out a bunch of information for the search engines to process. Of course, it sends mostly false information, which means your search activities remain hidden from view and search engines won't glean any meaningful data from your visit.

These are only a few of several dozen privacy and security extensions available for Firefox; you can find a larger list at Mozilla's Web site. Tools like these can make your surfing experience safer, but remember: nothing is foolproof, and talented hackers can still find ways to pull information from your system if they try hard enough. Always be careful.

Awesome, computer can predcted people age

WASHINGTON - The technology developed to enhance human intelligence computer company was far from what people have thought this. A tentative lllinois the University, the United States, has successfully developed a machine that can detect the age of the users.

The computer experts at the University lllinois some time ago has created a software on the computer which can identify the face of computer users quickly, and tell how the age of the user.

"Calculating age is very difficult. If you use the face as the benchmark age, so our software can mengatakanya appropriately," said Thomas Huang Chairman of this experiment.

Huang explained that the software results kembangannya team is made with the way they train the computer algorithm in 1600 to see the faces of people from five different images provided, and the total picture that is shown as 8,000 units.

To measure the age of a person, they have mensettingnya from age 1 to 93 years. Once the software is installed in the computer, they will identify the face of someone who desired. Once they find a database of thousands of faces that have been recorded, after mencocokan, the computer will notify the presentation of age most.

Computers can guess that this age, according to the developers is very suitable with the women. Usually, the women who have aged will completely do that makeup can look younger. Now, the computer will be examined and the extent to which mencocokan make up to make the young woman was visible.

"Women often do make up to see the young. Computers we will mencocokan the extent to which young women see it," added Huang, as This Big News Network, on Thursday (30/10/2008).

This software is claimed by the pengembangnya able to tell the age of someone with high accuracy up to 80 percent. Huang said softwarenya is very helpful for women in determining the make-up the right to make them see the young.
