Just a warning before purchasing Asus, I purchased my laptop in late March 2006, they offered a 24 Month Global warranty. I started to have problems with the screen after 3 months, to this day (1 year and 9 months), they still refuse to repair it and don’t even reply to any of my emails, so I strongly suggest not to purchase Asus.

I write this as a warning to any business person or student who intends to use this product abroad for extended periods. I am a big fan of Apple, having purchased 8 Apple systems for myself or family members over the past 25 years. But now that loyalty has been seriously shaken because of warranty repair issues. I purchased a 13.3-Inch MacBook as a Christmas present for my son who was going to Greece for a semester study abroad program.
While in Athens in January, one month after purchasing the MacBook, the system failed to boot. My son called U.S. phone support from Greece and they initially diagnosed the problem as a faulty startup disk. However, they said they were unable or unwilling to ship replacement startup disks from the U.S. to Athens. Instead, they sent them to me and I was forced to pay $25 in shipping fees to Fed Ex them to Athens.
The new startup disks, however, did not solve the problem and Apple phone support in the U.S. said he needed to send the system in for warranty repairs. Again, Apple said they were unable or unwilling to pay shipping costs for products under warranty that were outside the country of purchase.
Apple has no authorized warranty repair services in Greece. U. S. phone support people said that the closest Apple authorized service facilities were in Italy. Again, however, they said they could not pay for shipping from Greece to Italy. What’s more, the European service centers may charge for warranty repairs because the MacBook was purchase in the U. S., U.S.-based Apple support people said
In desperation, I had my son ship the faulty MacBook back to me in the U.S.at a cost of close to $275. I then forwarded the system to Apple for repairs (hard drive replacement) at the U.S. service center. Once again, Apple said it was unable or unwilling to ship the repaired system from the U.S. directly to my son in Athens. Instead they shipped it back to me. I then gave the system to a friend who was going to visit my son in Athens, saving me the return $275 shipping fee.
The upshot is that I spent $300 on shipping fees to repair a one-month old MacBook because Apple product warranties only work in the country where the product is purchased. Apple claims to have “world-class support.” This is simply not true. If you have a problem with an Apple product outside the country of purchase the warranty is useless and you are on your own.
In retrospect, I should have purchased a laptop from a company with more extensive global operations and has more experience doing business globally, such as HP. If Apple wants to be a global player in the global economy, it needs to have a working global warranty policy.

That is hard to answer because those systems on the market now are new and have only been reviewed by pros.
They haven't been around long enough to know what issues they may have with them. Future and best buy sell consumer goods so none of their models are going to have quality components. Many of those laptops only last a couple of years and during that time you might have to take them back for weeks of servicing. IBM is a good brand and toshiba and dell make acceptable business class laptops. I would stay away from their consumer line though.
IBM brands are the strongest. Old p3's have outlasted P4 and dual core systems and still work great.
It is best to assess you needs and buy based upon the need and not based upon what two or three stores are offering you.

Questions to Ask Your Wedding Photographer
July 14, 2010
I have taken some Pics in the last days - please tell me your thoughts:
{Themenblog zur diesjährigen Konferenz der Medienkunst
The top three wedding expenses are usually the wedding location, the wedding dress, and the photographer. When so much time, effort, money and love have gone into this one special day, it's understandable that one would want it to be preserved beautifully on film. There are ways however to save significant money on a wedding photographer without sacrificing quality.
College Students- If your local college has an art program, it's highly likely they have photography program within it. By calling the college directory, you can get the names of photography professors or department heads. When you reach them, ask if they have senior level students who are excelling at action and portrait photography. More than likely, they will be able to give you the contact information for a few bright and talented students who have the training to take beautiful pictures, yet not charge you an arm and a leg.
Craig's List- Many fledgling photographers advertise on this site. These photographers often offer great deals if allow them to use your photographs to help build up their professional photographers.
The Knot- This website is an incredible wedding resource, and includes listings for local photographers, both who have a studio and who are freelance. This will give you a great idea of who's out there in your area so that you can compare prices. If you're looking to save money, your best bet is to go with a freelance photographer who doesn't have a studio. This avoids raised rates due to high overhead.
Ask around- More than likely, you have a friend, relative or co-worker who knows a good photographer. This could be someone they've used in the past, or know personally. A personal connection can often help to get you a great price reduction, or give you a lead to a photographer who might not advertise to the general public.
When dealing with an amateur photographer or student, there are a few things you can do to ensure you still get professional grade photos at a reasonable rate.
Ask to see a portfolio- Most serious photographers will have a collection of photos they have done in the past. Ask to see their work, especially action shots, candid and portraits. This will give you a clear idea of the photographer's ability level and personal photography style.
Request references- Even if the photographer hasn't done many professional jobs, they should still be able to furnish names of people who have worked with them on various projects, such as professors they've done work for, or friends and family that they've done portraits for.
Do a practice run- Ask the photographer if they'd be willing to do some practice photographs at the wedding site. This way the photographer can see if there will be any lighting challenges at the site, and will allow you to see them in action. Make sure to do this well in advance of the event, so if you're not satisfied with their performance, you can find another photographer you feel more confident about.
Make sure you know what you're getting- Make sure you go over all of the details of what's included with the photographer's fee. Some photographers include the prints, some only provide proofs. Some charge extra if they're there over a certain number of hours. Be sure you are clear in what you want, and what you expect out of the photographer, so they won't try to charge you additional fees once the job is complete.
While finding a photographer that charges less may take a little more work, it is well worth it if you can save thousands on the cost or your wedding. Just be careful, and make sure you are still getting quality while saving money.
(To read Part 1 of this piece, “Pioneers sign Spicer to one-week contract,” please click here).
The admonishing hymn came with blunt regularity: “Don't get yourself killed.”
More than a month after my semi-pro debut was quashed due to the U.P. Arctic Blast's cancellation in travel plans, the St. Paul Pioneers re-upped my services for their second-to-last regular season contest, a rematch versus the Minnesota Phoenix, whom the Pioneers crushed 61-0 in the teams' initial meet back in mid-May.
In the two months since that contest, the Phoenix evidenced some rise while St. Paul showed some settle. From a standings vantage point: The Phoenix evened their record at 2-2 before dropping two straight heading into the rematch at 2-4. The Pioneers? After the U.P. forfeit, the team ran their record to 3-0, then suffered back-to-back losses (by a combined six points) before rebounding with a steady 36-14 win over Rochester prior to their Independence Day bye week.
But a small sense of malaise had no doubt gripped this bunch by the time of my return to their circle. Whereas the early June practice featured a focused, well-attended game prep, merely half the Pioneers' roster showed when I returned mid-summer for a chalk talk that sought to prepare for the Phoenix' offense on a night that favored Jim Walsh's pen over Pioneer pads.
So it was that — among the fewer than 30 present — I was able to accrue an interception in 7-on-7 drills from my spot in the d-backfield.
The lesser merits of sport at this level (”Welcome to semi-pro football,” I was offered with sarcastic regularity) were soon to segue to my arrival to Humboldt High for the Saturday game. With the onset of hail soon to paint the gloomy pre-game, both teams were forced to dress in creative confines as the school contact neglected to open access to the locker rooms. Bitching ensued from the Phoenix contingent and it appeared for a brief spell that, as with my initial attempt, a second crack at game action might not be.
Pandigital has released a new photo scanner that can feed through 8.5 by 11-inch photos or documents. The Personal Photo Scanner/Converter doesn't require a PC connection, as photos can be scanned directly onto an included SD memory card. The images are saved in JPEG format, and the card can be plugged into a PC for archiving or a digital photo frame for viewing.
The reader scans at up to 600DPI, which translates to a 3800×7200 resolution when using 24-bit color. The scanner can also be connected to a Mac or PC using a mini-USB port, and other popular memory card formats are supported.
The scanner is currently available for $130.
Remember the incredible photo card deals we saw around Christmastime? Well, the very popular SeeHere photo card offer is available again!

Here’s how to get your 24 free cards with envelopes just for the price of shipping:
Q: A lot of your work has a unique sense of humor to it. How did you
find that voice, was it always there, or is it something you've
developed?
Nick: My style was sort of there in me, but it definitely has
evolved. My many styles shift and change with the marketplace, but
have a memory chip of my original style and intent. “Your philosophies
create the software of your mind” I figured humor was a good way to
stand out in the marketplace of ideas. It is better to inform and
entertain than to just inform. It can create an alliance with the
reader.
photo by Nick VedrosQ: What are some of the essentials that you always carry in your bag?
Nick: I shoot all Canon, I love the Canon 1DS Mark 3, but pack and carry
the 1D Mark IV for it's amazing speed and clean file too.I also pack a Canon 5D for back up large file and wonderful video
capabilities.
Favorite Lenses: 70mm-200mm, 24mm-105mm, 24mm PC lens, 80mm 1.2I use all Lexar Media Cards, usually 8 Gig and 16 Gig. And a Lexar Card
Reader.I pack a Hoodman to view the LCD Screen when on location.
I downsize my model releases and Property releases..always carry in my
trusty bag.
Small flashlight.Laser pointer to help identify the wrinkle that needs fixing to my
stylists. It saves me describing or walking. I simply point the laser
at the problem so she knows what the heck I'm talking about.Photo by Nick Vedros
Q: It seems like you really embrace the post-production process. Has this always been a part of your work or has it evolved? Do you work closely with a team on that?
Nick: Once my photographs have been shot..I put them into my digital department. Michael McCorkle and I have had an amazing working relationship. I credit him for the 31 years we have worked together. Michael adds a lot to my images. Many times I will process an image and set a direction for the look that I am after. He takes it and always makes it better. There are times that I want his complete participation and will just give him a file and say let me see what you come up with. I love doing that because I get his impartial input on a project that he was not emotionally tied to by not being present at the shoot. I love to collaborate with Michael he is amazing to work with.
Q: We are getting to ready to shoot some portraits in Kansas City as
part of our Focus on Passion workshop. How do you approach a project
like this?
Nick: I start by asking all the right questions. Who is this job for?
How will they reproduce? Are we using street people or models? What
style of mine do you think is right for this project, or we can create a
new style if we discuss it. I begin to assemble the puzzle like this.
Q: You've shot for a lot of iconic brands, including Apple, Coca-Cola,
Kodak, Microsoft, Sony, and Sprint, does working with such well-known
clients change the way you approach these assignments?Nick: Not really change my approach much…I like working with any
client who pretty much knows what they want. I love when a pencil sketch of a layout gets sent to me and I can start to envision what look I feel the project needs. It is always important to discuss your vision with the Art Director or Art Buyer. It helps them get on board to work together. You need to listen carefully to what they want and what they need. Then create a plan to solve it. Part of the fun challenge
is coming up with an approach that works with the assignment at hand. I
try to create a sequential systematic approach that allows my creativity
to flourish. I know that sounds like an Oxymoron. Systematic and
Creative can co-exist.
Photo by Nick VedrosQ: The workshop is focused on following your passion. What are you
passionate about shooting?
Nick: Focus on what you love to shoot….within reason. For me it is all
about problem solving. When I shoot personal work it helps steer my
career in the direction that I want to go. If you're smart you can tweak
your career to have the right percentage of Studio and Location work.
People, Humor, Still life etc. I love variety within the realm of my
specialties that I have created nationally. I have found that I love
working with a good team…not so much solo.
Q: Have you found that shooting what you are passionate about has paid off for you professionally?
Nick: Yes, shooting what you are passionate about is one of the quickest ways to illustrate your style and get work. It is essential to have your passion projects viewed by the right people, otherwise they won't know about you. Clients many times have seen my own personal imagery and then hired me to take on their assignments. I landed the Apple Computer PowerBooks Launch campaign from a single Passion photograph.The Passion projects are also great for achieving the necessary experience needed for the real client projects. Passion projects have also launched new styles that the client actually wanted to use for their complete ad campaign. In my opinion a photographer's style is the accumulated wealth of knowledge and decisions that expresses itself in a pictorial way. It just seems to emerge like a fingerprint in my work. Once your style has emerged, people begin to remember you. They may even look for your work. People have told me ” I can tell that is a Vedros Photograph”
The style that helps you become successful can also have drawbacks if you're not careful. It can be difficult to break your style when a different style is needed on a project.
Remember that style in the marketplace is ever changing. Over the years it has become very easy for me to break a single style and deviate into another look. Also don't be so egotistical to ever imagine that your one style works for every project that comes along. I have become an adaptive photographer that crafts the right look for the project I am currently working on. This way your work never becomes tired. Imagination has no limit.Q: What is your approach to client relationships, both establishing and
maintaining them?Nick: I primarily try to bring something to the party…and I try and
take the load off of the client. We choose to take on the brunt of
pressure so that they feel relieved on they're end.
Then I simply work as hard as I can to nail the style and look. Then
have great follow thru on the back end. Then they come back again.
Photo by Nick VedrosQ: We share a lot of tips with our readers on how to promote their work
and market themselves. Is there anything you can share about how you
approach that part of your business?
Nick: With what I produce with humor and crazy complex sets…it pays to
produce marketing pieces that differentiate from the norm. If you don't
stand out in the photo market you might as well be invisible. For
instance I did sets of coasters that stay on top of the desk… and work
for beverages. I hire different top designers to help me produce pieces
that are difficult to throw away. It is part of the fun of my career.from: Ashvins Blog

Game Review: Foto Showdown
June 19, 2010
I made some shots in the last days - please tell me if you think they are good:
Over the last twenty years I have had the privilege of staying in Antwerp Belgium for almost 30 weeks. This happened due to my good fortune of working in product development for the US subsidiary of a Belgian company. Recently, it occurred to me that outside of places I have lived, I know Antwerp better than any other city. I believe a lot of American travelers don't include Belgium in their travel plans and opt for visiting Paris, London, Rome and other European cities without ever considering Belgium. When Americans do travel to Belgium they seem to include Brussels but don't include cities like Antwerp and Brugges. Antwerp is a good starting point for those visiting Europe for the first time. It is distinctly European, old enough to have a fascinating history, small enough to be easily traversed and large enough to have a great tourist infrastructure. Most people speak enough English making it easy to not get lost or disoriented and yet most communication around you is in Flemish or French providing a great cosmopolitan flavor. The people in Antwerp seem to delight in helping tourists and their hospitality is second to none. Here then, is Antwerp in a nutshell hopefully providing you with enough information to help you travel in comfort. Getting There From the USA, you can find many direct flights to Brussels. You can also fly directly into Antwerp from other European cities like London, Amsterdam, and Paris. The Antwerp Airport is a short taxi ride from most hotels. If you are traveling by rail from other European Cities you can check timetables and fares here .
Getting There
If you fly to Brussels, you can take the train, bus or private car to Antwerp which is about 45 minutes north of the airport. The cheapest way to get to Antwerp from the Brussels Airport is by the bus:
Antwerp Express
Every hour a direct coach service departs from the airport to the city centre of Antwerp. This coach service is operated every day.
The coaches leave from the back of platform B at the bus station (level 0).

Some Background on the City
According to the Dutch legend, there was a Giant called Antigoon that lived near the river Scheldt and anyone that wanted to cross the river needed to pay a toll. If one were to refuse, Antigoon cut off one of their hands and threw them into the Scheldt. One day a young hero named Brabo cut off the giant's hand and threw it into the river. From this story came the name Antwerpen from Dutch which means throwing the hand. During the dark ages, Antwerp was a minor city. Brugges, to the east of Antwerp was the center of commerce in Belgium. Between 600 AD and 700 AD the Scheldt River changed its course. The harbor in Brugges silted over making it impossible for ships to dock. Over the years, the ships began to bypass the great medieval city and docked in Antwerp. Modern Belgium is divided into three distinct regions. Brussels is the largest city and capital of French speaking Belgium. Liege to the east is the capital of the German speaking region and Antwerp is capital of the largest region, which is the Flemish speaking region. Today Antwerp has a population of about 461,496 (as of January 2006) and its total area is about 102 square miles It is the second largest city in Belgium behind Brussels. For more on the history of Belgium refer to following sites:

Map Note: On French Maps, Antwerp is called Anvers. On Flemish maps, it is called Antwerpen.
Points of Interest
Central Antwerp is easily explored on foot. When you get tired, Antwerp has a great and inexpensive tram system which runs underground in some areas and above ground in other areas. If you are driving, a circular “ring” road or beltway goes around the entire city making car travel confusing but easy. As with any European city, half the fun is discovering your own places. However, one thing should not be missed. Near the old Cathedral in the center of Antwerp, people gather in streets every Monday night around 9 PM to sit outside at the Cafes and listen to classical musicians play the church carillon. The sound echoing through the old stones streets is truly uplifting. Get there early and stake your spot, around 10 AM there could be up to 50,000 people walking the streets. It is easy to find tourist information in Antwerp, but I have listed here a few of my favorite things to do.
Rubens House
Peter Paul Rubens lived and worked in Antwerp most of his life.His house is a must see while visiting Antwerp. Not only was he a great painter, but he was also the first commercial artist. You can see much of his work such as book covers for Bibles and other books that were printed in Antwerp during the renaissance.

The Middelheim Museum
The Middelheim outdoor sculpture Museum is situated just outside the 'Ring' in a park that was purchased by the City in 1910 to prevent it being cut up into lots.
The museum has over 300 pieces including August Rodin and Henry Moore. Most pieces are in a beautiful park area and it is great to visit in the spring or summer.

Hotels
As with any city, there are a variety hotels and inns. I can only speak for the hotels that I have personally stayed at. There is a newer Hilton Hotel in the center of the city that I have not stayed at but I have been inside the hotel which seems to be luxurious and expensive and it is in a great location just around the corner from the Cathedral.
The Golden Tulip Carlton Hotel is a lovely modern hotel within three blocks of Central Station. Breakfast is included as with most European hotels and the breakfast buffet at the Carlton will keep you going all day. The rooms are modern and air conditioned and fairly large by European standards. There is a Godiva chocolate shop in the lobby and each night, you will find some Godiva on your pillow.
The Alfa Theater Hotel This is a small older hotel in the center of Antwerp across from Antwerp's theater and near the opera house. In the theater square every Saturday and Sunday is the Market where you can buy everything from produce to live parakeets. The hotel has the smallest elevators in the world, but the breakfast buffet is great, the bar lively and the rooms comfortable. The best part is that the price is reasonable.
Astrid Park Plaza is a modern and comfortable hotel located within one block of Central Station and adjacent to the Antwerp Zoo (you can hear the elephants in the morning). The rooms are comfortable the hotel provides great amenities and services.
Restaurants
The restaurants in Antwerp are about the best you can find anywhere, including France. From casual bistros to fine formal dining, you can find anything. Like everything in Europe, prices can be very expensive. You can keep costs down by eating mussels (a local favorite) in just about any café or bistro in the old city. Tony's near the Antwerp Town Hall has great pizza. There are also some very good Chinese restaurants and other ethnic choices. I never did find a good Sushi restaurant, but never tried that hard either. Since Antwerp is a seaport, the salmon and smoke salmon is among the best in the world. Here are a few choices for the “serious dinner” you may want to invest in. Have your hotel concierge make reservations for you. Tell them it is your anniversary.
Rooden Hoed is Antwerp's oldest restaurant; it's been around for about 250 years. It is a very European setting with large windows overlooking the Cathedral Square. .The menu features a large variety including mussels and other seafood as well as fresh game in season. Attire is European casual
Neuze Neuze is located in historic center of Antwerp and is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The menu is French/Belgian but the presentation and service are truly exquisite. It is a rustic building where you can chat with owner and enjoy the special house aperitif while your table is prepared. Not just dinner, a dining experience.
Docks Café is the most casual on the list, but the food and service are great. There are deep red velvet walls, copper-green columns and a winding staircase all done in a modern European style. The menu is French and Italian with excellent seafood choices.
Gorki is a classic Russian restaurant with fantastic chicken Kiev, beef stroganoff and other Russian and French dishes. You have to be very careful here, since you will be greeted with a glass of chilled vodka which will be continuously refilled during the evening. Sometimes the Chef will come out and play the piano and sing which may lead you to believe that he is sampling the vodka.
The Koperen Ketel (Copper Kettle) restaurant is situated near the largest commercial building in central Antwerp but when you step through the door you think you have gone backwards a couple hundred years. This is where I first ate pheasant and is the best for fresh game and also seafood. It is expensive, but the service is impeccable. I ordered a cigar after dinner and they presented it to me, then took it from me, clipped the tip of the cigar, took two pieces of wood and wrapped it around the cigar. The server then lit the cigar using the wooden frame, removed the wood, dipped the tip in brandy and presented the cigar to me already lit with a perfect circle of white ash around the lit tip. Talk about service!
With all Antwerp restaurants, plant to go out to dinner between seven and eight and spend at least two hours.
Beer
People from Belgium love beer. There are literally thousands of brands of Belgian beers. Beers come in three strengths. Pilsner beers have the same amount of alcohol as a good American beer. Doubles have twice as much and triples have three times as much alcohol so you have to take care when sampling the brews. One of my favorites is Corsendonk which originally was produced by monks in a town near Antwerp called Turnout. You can actually stay at the Castle, where I was fortunate to have attended a dinner one evening. If you want to stay in the castle, you can make reservations at
The Kulminator
For tasting a variety of beers, try the Kulminator. This little bar not only stocks 100's of current beers, you can actually buy vintage beers at a vintage price.
Vleminckveld 32,2000 Antwerpen.

Pater's Vaetje
The best and least expensive pub I ever found is near the old Cathedral.

Te Pelgrem
Walk down Pelgrem Street, about half way down you will see a little museum called Te Pelgrem, take the stairs down and you will enter an underground series of stone wall caves filled with long wooden table and benches and lit totally by candle light. Here you can order a variety of beers and food as well. Not to be missed
Het Elfde Gebod
The name means the eleventh commandment. It is adjacent to the old Cathedral and a great place to camp out for the carillon concerts. What makes it unique is that the entire interior is decorated with religious icons from the real to the blasphemous. Even the men's room has religious drawings and statues. The environment is somewhat surreal, but the beer and clientele are interesting.

You can spend weeks discovering Antwerp, but one day trip that should not be missed is to Domein Bokrijk. This is a huge open air museum dedicated to Belgian culture. It takes a whole day to visit starting at an old Flemish village where the Flemish lifestyle of the middle ages is displayed. As you walk through the huge park each turn takes you a little further into the timeline of development. Artists and craftsmen show their crafts from basket makers to silver smiths. They have even created a whole city in the middle of the Forrest which was constructed from buildings that were torn down in Brussels and Antwerp. There are restaurants and of course pubs along the way. You can also see the magnificent arboretum and castle and a very strange collection of chickens.
Domein Bokrijk Information center B-3600 Genk, Tel. 011/265.300
Fax 011/265.310 - E-mail: bokrijk@limburg.be
The Open Air Museum is open from March 29 till September 30, every day from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m.
Antwerp is truly a great city, worthy of a few days on your schedule. I have just touched the surface, but hopefully have made you want to stop there on your next European vacation. It is truly easy for the first time American visitor. When it's time to come home don't forget to buy some Belgian lace. While you are there try to sample all the different types of Belgian Chocolate, I still prefer Godiva but Leonidas is also worth the calories. Don't forget to take some on the plane!
Car photography is no easy task. Different techniques are used depending on whether they are prowling on the streets or stay put right before your lens. For amateur photographers, it takes great patience and a lot of practice before you can truly bring out the action and elegance in car photography. Panning shots is one of the most challenging things I’ve encountered while doing car photography. Choosing the background is important; the correct background can either gives your car a clear contrast or it can create significant dramatic effect. You don’t want to have a photo of your car blending into the complex city background or a sports car that looks stationary.

The Top Gadgets Announced at CES 2010
June 14, 2010
Technology always captivates consumers. Some of the best gadgets and technological advancements are introduced each year in the International CES in Vegas, really addressing new meaning in pioneer and intelligent devices.
The best gadgets announced at CES 2010, according to experts and consumer reviews, are the following:
a) Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid
Featuring fascinating notebooks with IdeaPad U1 Hybrid on the lead, Lenovo has really made a striking impression at this year's CES. Being the first PC in the industry that allows users to remove the screen and switch to a six-screen multitouch tablet that functions independently with its own processor and operating system, the IdeaPad U1 integrates Lenovo's Hybrid Switch technology allowing both PCs to function perfectly on the two processors effortlessly.
Featuring textured surface on the inside and a sleek, transparent dark red cover that cannot but capture the consumer's eye, the shiny round notebook comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM processor in tablet mode, 11.6″ HD LED display, 4GB of memory RAM and 160GB storage capacity on the SSD running on Windows 7 Home Premium. When pulled out of its showcase, Lenovo switches to Skylight UI that functions as a detached tablet with an ARM processor running alongside Lenovo's customized Linux Skylight operating system.
The base, when detached, continues to work as its own Core 2 Duo SU41 opening up potential for the U1 to truly act as two devices in one. Both laptop and tablet modes support over 5 hours of 3G Web browsing and up to 60 hours of 3G standby. The tablet's edge-to-edge glass is comfortable and the chromed edges tempting, but some areas that need attention are the keyboard (too flat for Lenovo's standards), and perhaps ergonomics (notebook weight is 3.7 pounds, tablet weight is 1.6 pounds).
The Lenovo IdeaPad U1 Hybrid is not expected to hit the market before June 1st, 2010, while its suggested retail price is $999.
b) Motorola Backflip smartphone
Scheduled for a global release at the Q1 2010, the Backflip comes with a 528-MHz Qualcomm MSM 7200A processor on Google Android 1.5 OS, 3.1″ touchscreen that natively supports 320 x 480 resolution, Wi-Fi, 3G and 5-megapixel camera. Besides, the device supports Moto Blur social-networking add-ons, Bluetooth and a 2GB memory card that can be expanded up to 32GB.
However, the best asset of the Backflip is its unique design. When it is closed, both the screen and the keyboard face out. The device can be flipped in a V-shape or totally flat to watch a movie or it can be used as a picture frame or alarm clock. When the device is open, it allows users to navigate on its touchscreen or use a trackball for navigation.
c) Sony HDR-XR550V camcorder
Featuring a 240GB HDD, 3.5″ LCD with 1920 x 1080 Full HD video recording, 12-megapixel still image capture with wide angle Sony G Lens with 10x optical zoom and Direct Copy feature, Sony HDR-XR550V camcorder is a unique camera that enable users to capture astonishingly smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting.
Besides, the HDR-XR550V is a great device to experience low-light sensitivity with enhanced image clarity and considerably reduced grain due its revolutionary 'Exmor R' CMOS sensor. Designed exclusively for compact cameras and camcorders, the 'Exmor R' CMOS sensor is intended for shooting video in lower lighting conditions with superior results. Also, the Sony G Lens offers enhanced optical performance delivering bright, accurate color reproduction and sharp, astonishingly detailed images.
d) Panasonic VT25 Plasma HDTV
Panasonic announced the release of the new plasma VIERA VT25 Series that is expected to hit the market in the spring of 20102 and offers users the full HD 3D capability. The set will include one pair of 3D glasses for an unforgettable 3D experience and an active LC shutter system. What is even more impressive than offering the 3D glasses - at a time that no other manufacturer provides them - is that the left and the right lens of the glasses lightens and darkens successively and too quickly to be perceived, while the TV displays the corresponding left and right-eye-specific images at the same time. The result is Panasonic's 'Full HD 3D' content of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels for each eye.
Besides, the set features Skype video calling, Wi-Fi connection (optional), the option to add Pandora, Twitter, Netflix and Fox Sports to own content through VieraCast interactive suite and infinite Black Pro, among others.

In this video clip, you get is bit if an idea what the quality is like - it is quite acceptable, as long as you don't zoom in too much. Even though the camera features some basic image stabilization, when zoomed in all the way (65x), you'll get a ton of shake. For close-ups like this, you'll definitely want to invest in a tripod.
Audio is quite decent - it picks up a lot of weak noises, but sadly also a little bit of wind - still, I've seen much worse.
Photo quality is quite lousy - and only in 2 megapixels, so don't expect to replace your point and shoot any time soon. Even mobile phones usually make better shots than this.
Thanks to a small joystick you can quickly navigate through the menus - and inside the menus are a ton of features. You get scene selections, resolution settings and a neat time lapse recording option. The lineup of features is surprisingly impressive for such a budget camera.
Behind the display is a flap to protect the SD card slot, video out connector, USB port and charging port. You can charge the camera using the included wall charger, or over USB using your PC.
Final thoughts
With its weak photos and shaky zoom video, you'd expect a recommendation against this product - but it actually manages to rescue itself thanks to an insanely low price - you can find it online for as little as $159. The camera does not come with a memory card, so expect to invest an extra $20-$30 for an 8GB card. Battery life is rated at over 4 hours on a single charge.
The camera comes with a pretty decent software suite which assists with edits and one-click uploads to video sharing sites.
Now, this camera is obviously up against products like the Flip and Creative Vado HD camcorders - but none of those products offer an optical zoom lens. So, you need to decide whether you want to pay for an HD camcorder with limited features, or a full feature standard definition camera. Do keep in mind that in this price range, your camera will only work well outdoors - indoor shooting requires a camcorder with a much higher price tag.
Despite its shortcomings, $159 for a compact camera with these features is a tremendous deal, but you'll need to spend some time determining your needs. One more thing to help decide is what you plan to do with the video - HD video is nice, but it takes up a lot of space and editing can require a beefy computer. If you just want some basic quality stuff to show friends and family, a standard definition camera could be exactly what the doctor ordered.
Everyone is on the go these days and notebooks are outselling desktops in a lot of urban markets. Luckily I've been able to have access to a lot of the new technologies coming out and the Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849 15.4″ Laptop has come across my desk. I've decided to write a brief review of this well priced Satellite. I'm going to discuss what this notebook has to offer as well as who will get the most out of this little Satellite. Let's start by popping the hood.
Hardware:
Display: 15.4″ LCD
Imaging: Integrated webcam
Processor: 2.0 GHz 64-bit AMD Turion
Storage space: 200GB hard drive
RAM: 2GB RAM (expandable to 4GB)
Optical drive: it comes with an integrated CD R/RW DVD +/- R RW drive
Graphics accelerator: ATI Radeon X1200 graphics (uses upto 319mb of your RAM as video memory)
Running on: Windows Vista Home Premium
This notebook is blue, and I don't find it too attractive. I'm not sure if you can find them in another color but it is rather ugly. I guess if “onyx blue” is your favorite color you'll disagree with me. As a matter of personal opinion I don't like these fancy notebook bezels. I recommend seeing one of these in person if at all possible before the purchase.
The screen is lovely on this Satellite. It certainly won't disappoint and can operate at a resolution high enough to render a 720p signal. The integrated graphics card leaves a little to be desired. The fact that it shares nearly half a GB of your 2 GB of RAM doesn't sit well with me. Don't expect to play graphically intensive games. It will do fine on simple games and watching videos or some simple image or video editing.
The integrated webcam works great and runs at 1.3 megapixel, rendering an image about as good as the majority of YouTube videos I've ever seen.
Connectivity:
WiFi
4 2.0 USB ports (use these to connect to your iPod, Digital Camera, Printer, whatever!)
1 FireWire port (Use this to transfer video from you digital camcorder or between two PC's)
1 VGA output (use this as to connect to your average PC monitor)
1 S-Video output (to be used to connect with some TV's but mostly for connections to projectors)
1 Audio out / Mic in
ExpressCard slot (to add additional peripherals later)
The connectivity is good. I particularly like that they offer 4 USB slots. I would like to maybe see and HDMI output (I would like to see one on every laptop) but I recognize that the inexpensive video card prohibits such luxuries.
All together this is a great mobile offering from Toshiba. It is in the middle price range, on the lower end at that. You should be able to find it for around $600 bucks and it is a great deal at that. It would do treat a student or average notebook user well.

I must be honest, direct. I am a lover of Apple. If Apple does it (or “made” it) I have. I bought a slightly different pattern, just over a year. Of course, I love it! Plus I used it more I fell in love in love with several hobbies, media, music and make video, photography, web browsing, and software development. Everything I went from PC to Mac! Notice that I said the PC “s”. A Mac, in fact, take about 8-12 years. As long as you take good care of him, he falls into this period of time, and then some.
