The all new 3D television  

0 comments

The all new 3D television has made it possible. 3D Television is closer then ever to becoming a reality…and soon there will even be a commercial one. This is all going to come true because of a huge group of researchers that are working all over the world in places like Turkey, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Finland, and even Bulgaria; it is all coordinated by Mr. Levent Onural of the University of Bilkent in Turkey, he teaches courses on three dimensional television and has vast experience in the issue.

The constant flow of new things that this technology represents is a credit to the ample progress that mankind is making in this direction. The way it is now, the human eye cannot even with the help of 3D glasses experience the fantastic three dimensions with such amazing clarity and resolution. When we will be able to watch videos in such a way, we will see something that up until now does not exist, things will be so much more interesting and captivating then they are now, and the possibilities for presentation and transmission will be infinitely bigger in number!

While we watch a game of football, we will be able to go in (virtually) onto the playing field and watch the game progresses and be able to feel as if we are really there, we will be able to even go inside the body of a favorite movie actor as the film goes on and experience the world through his eyes. This is not just something that is like the scenarios in a video game, this is going to be real and we will be able to do it any time we want, using just a television or a monitor that can transmit 3D video images.

yes to ipad 2 and no to netbook?  

0 comments

yes to ipad 2 and no to netbook? Is the Apple iPad 2 a netbook killer? That's the question which I try to answer through the Netbook vs iPad 2 comparison, presented in this Buzzle article. The entry of Apple iPad confused many because of its unique features that are a cross between a netbook, a phone, a multimedia player and a tablet PC. It borrows many features from these devices but it cannot be classified into any of these device categories. If buying the iPad 2, is a thought that has taken root in your mind and you're not sure whether a netbook would be a better choice instead, then keep reading ahead.

Apple iPad 2 has been a rousing success and sales are expected to exceed those of the earlier generation iPad. If you are among the ones who wish to get on the iPad bandwagon, consider its features compared to a netbook.

Marketed as a tablet media player plus PC, the Apple iPad 2 is a strange mix of features. It is equipped with Wifi + 3G + bluetooth connectivity, with a dual core 1 GHz Apple A5 processor and 512 MB of RAM. It has storage capacities of precisely 16 GB, 32GB or 64 GB. All this comes with a 9.7 inch display touch screen and an installed Apple iOS. Its battery life is advertised to be close to 10 hours with Wi-Fi use. You can access the iTunes store through this device and explore the rest of the facilities made available by Apple for iPhone and iPod. This successor of the highly successful first generation iPad is lighter by a few grams and thinner. A new feature are the twin cameras, which includes one front facing and another back facing one.

Now let us compare this with some of the best netbooks in the market today. Almost all netbooks are installed with the dual core Intel Atom N570 processor (1.66 GHz) which consumes less power compared to other Intel chips. Screen size is typically 10.1 to 11 inch with LED backlit screens. There is up to or more than 250 GB of hard disk space made available. It has Wi-Fi plus bluetooth connectivity with USB ports and other ethernet ports for Internet connectivity.

All this with a battery life of more than 10 hours! As you can see, features wise, a netbook offers more than what an iPad does. An iPad has no bluetooth ports and no facility for ethernet connectivity. Who needs a 3G connection anyway, when you have it on your phone? The iPad does not come with a conventional keypad. You have to buy a separated USB keyboard that could be attached with it. Think about it. If you make a netbook vs ipad speed comparison, the netbook is certainly superior with more RAM than the iPad and a better processor. To conclude, the iPad is not a netbook killer and no substitute for it. When you consider the specifications comparison, it's a no-brainer!



Keep your kids safe online.  

0 comments

Here is how you can keep your kids safe online. Internet is no longer a privilege - it is a necessity. It is something we have heavily come to depend on. Sometimes it is hard to believe that till just about a few decades ago, completing a project meant take the time out to go to a library, armed with a notebook and all kinds of drawing and writing materials, and going through piles of books to compile decent amount of information, which would then go into a project. Gone are the days when an assignment meant creating working models. Everybody has become tech-savvy, so that now we would rather prefer animation to working models, power-point presentations to actual flow-charts. As with everything in the world, this has several pros and cons (personally, more cons, I think). However, one inevitable outcome of all this is - everybody is on the internet. However, the immediate concern that arises in the mind is, everything on the internet is accessible to everyone! How then, can you protect your child and ensure his/her safety online?

The best way to restrict your kids online is to make them responsible and to make them understand WHY they should not do certain things online. Gain their confidence. Do not simply lay down rules - make them understand why you are doing what you are doing. Kids nowadays, belong to the Y Generation - they always want to know why. This is not a part of being audacious or rebellious. This is just the way kids are coming to be now. But most of the times, parents do not know how to deal with this constant questioning, and this is when they bring in the whole authority issue. Understand this, and act accordingly.

Online shopping is both good and bad  

0 comments

With increased use of Internet, more and more people are drawn towards online shopping. This means of buying products has gained popularity since the last decade. Earlier, Internet was only accessible to people of developed countries but recent revolution has made it accessible to almost all parts of the world. With increased awareness, people now flock towards Internet for shopping. The concept of shopping goods through online services has been highly recognized and accepted, as it provides several benefits to the customer. However, every good aspect has a bad side to it and this is applicable to online shopping as well. The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of convenience shopping are listed below.

Advantages of Online Shopping

  • The best part of online shopping is that you can shop from home. There is no need to go to the mall to purchase the item you need. You just need to order and it will be available right at your doorstep.
  • As you shop from the comfort of your home, you save on gas and time that would otherwise have been spent to reach to the nearest store and look for the desired product.
  • It is convenient and easy! You do not need any degree to learn online shopping. All you have got to do is, visit the website, search for your product and buy it. Your product is just a click away!
  • Shopping online gives you the privilege to shop whenever you want. The stores are never closed and you can do your shopping 24x7.
  • It provides variety to the buyer. You don't need to jump from shop to shop to look for varieties of a product available in the market. The options available online are many and this is one of the best features of online shopping.
  • Shopping from malls and stores makes it difficult to compare between features and prices of products. Shopping through websites provides simplified comparison of products and helps in deciding which one should be purchased.
  • Many websites device special discount schemes from time to time to attract customers. You can always buy products under such schemes and save a lot of money.
  • It keeps annoying salespersons at bay. Aggressive salesmen often pressurize you to buy their products. This harassment can be simply escaped by shopping using the Internet.
Disadvantages of Online Shopping
  • The first disadvantage is that there is a time lag between you making the payment and the delivery of the product.
  • You cannot try out the product before buying it. Many people like to try things out before making the payment. This feature remains missing when you buy a product online.
  • High shipping costs often add up to the total cost of the product. Companies usually set very high shipping costs, which add to the total expenditure. Also, if the product is shipped from another country, you are liable to pay extra taxes for it.
  • The payment mode may not be secure. With increased security issues, making online payment through debit or credit cards might be an insecure mode of transaction. It is therefore important to check whether the payment gateway is secured or not.
  • Possibility of product damage while shipping cannot be nullified. If the product received is damaged, it may again take several days for replacement or the company may not provide any replacement.
  • The ease of shopping can be extremely dangerous for shopaholics as they may get provoked to buy many items at a time which will result in unwanted expenditure.
  • The incidence of billing errors is higher and if you encounter one, you will again have to follow a long procedure and wait for several days before the error gets resolved.
  • You need to have a debit or credit card to make a purchase. Very few websites give you the option of paying cash or check on delivery.

This is due to the fact, that there are different computer parts in the market. To ensure that all the parts are compatible with each other can be a herculean task and not to forget time consuming. The basic parts, you will require, are power supply, motherboard, RAM, processor, processor fan, video and sound card, hard drive, CD-ROM drive (if you need one) and network card.
