The PYKtures Guide to FH20(FS30) coolness :: PYKtures Tricks And so I gave my FH20 to my sister and bought myself an LX3. See my impressions there It’s been a while I posted anything. On this blog and I have many articles that are in writing at the moment. After listening to all the requests and questions I’ve received about the FH20, I now believe to have gathered enough practical information on how to make the best out of the Lumix FH20 (including how to pull of the 425 pictures trick). Aside from video mode, there are 4 main modes that I use on the camera: - Normal Mode - Intelligent AUTO Mode (iAUTO) - Sports Mode - Film Grain Mode I also use Lightroom3 Beta 2 to process my pictures where I usually take out the classic Lumix chromatic noise signature that looks like a pack of yellow blotches that pollute my pictures. Cool ways to use Intelligent AUTO Mode (iAUTO) lol at the picture... this is how cool selfshooting at 28mm can become XD I also use this mode when I have a group shot to take or have to selfshoot myself with my friends. Fooled?
Acer AspireRevo R3610-U9022 - Full Review - Reviews by PC Magazine When we looked at an engineering prototype of the Acer AspireRevo in early 2009, the combination of Nvidia Ion graphics and Intel Atom processor was promising, to say the least. The Acer AspireRevo AspireRevo R3610-U9022 ($330 list) is now on sale, and it's a beaut. It's still in the same chassis and still has its love-it-or-leave-it styling, but it's certainly an improved model: it's packing a dual-core Intel Atom 330 processor and Windows 7. (A single-core version of the AspireRevo is also available.) Design The AspireRevo R3610-U9022's chassis is a tilted vertical box, with the USB and other ports along the outer edge of the case. As before, the system can be mounted on its included stand, which is sort of like a kickstand or a foot. On most systems, a pair of USB speakers would be an unremarkable feature, since almost all are tinny sounding and ugly. Features The AspireRevo R3610-U9022 comes with wireless keyboard and mouse.

Billion dollar ideas for the next decade « Searching for the Moo Posted by shannonclark on April 23, 2010 What will be the next set of Billion dollar industries? In the past week one of the biggest angel investors in technology, Ron Conway, announced that he has closed a new venture fund and he spoke to TechCrunch about what he sees as the opportunities for the next few years, the opportunities he will be investing in with his new fund. I agree with Ron that these are big trends and that there are many companies already pursuing them but still many opportunities in these areas for new companies to be created and to succeed. However I think there are a number of other very large opportunities which will be huge in the next decade, opportunities which will transform not just entire industries but how we (and by we I mean people around the globe) live. I’m sure there are other, very large opportunities, but here are a few which I have identified. Full lifecycle manufacturing – products which are designed to be recycled and reused.

HP Pavilion a4316f-b - At A Glance - Reviews by PC Magazine Editors' Note: March 10, 2010 - The instant savings plan and $50 rebate promotions on this system are no longer available from Staples. As such, we have removed the reference in the review. When shopping for a basic PC that does simple tasks like Web surfing, writing e-mails, and uploading photos, many consumers run the risk of aiming too low. Of course, the cheapest option can handle these basic tasks, but that doesn't mean you're getting the best bang for your buck. The HP Pavilion a4316f-b ($779.98 list, available at Staples), however, is a good value. The whole bundle, including monitor, mouse and keyboard, is well priced at $779. Design The HP Pavilion a4316f-b won't win any design awards. On the back of the system you will find four more USB ports, an Ethernet port, and a VGA port. The bundled monitor is the HP 2009m, a glossy black-bezeled, widescreen monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio that sells separately on HP's website for $150. Performance
Speed geeking Speed Geek event during the launch of TechSoup Canada Speed geeking is a participation process used to quickly view a number of presentations within a fixed period of time. Speed geeking gets its name from speed dating, since they both employ similar techniques. Method[edit] A large room is selected as the speed geeking venue. The facilitator rings a bell to start proceedings. Advantages[edit] Speed geeking is a great way to quickly view a number of presentations and demos in a short while. Disadvantages[edit] Each presenter has to give their presentation multiple times. Related Processes[edit] A Lightning Talk is another method of quickly going through a number of presentations in a short period of time. PechaKucha - presentations (20 images shown for 20 seconds each) are sequential. External links[edit]
Toshiba Mini NB305-N410 - At A Glance - Reviews by PC Magazine When the Toshiba mini NB205 was awarded the Editors' Choice in the netbook category, who knew its reign would last this long? The mini NB305-N410 is it's successor and will continue to thrive because it knows what netbook users want: A great user experience, a bargain price, and outstanding battery life. There are netbooks that come very close to these feats, namely the HP Mini 5102 and ASUS EeePC 1201N, but the NB305 still sits alone at the top. It inherits the Editors' Choice in the netbook category. Design Plastics help pare down costs and can really work for a design if a company knows how to use them. Case in point: The NB305 adds textures, whereas others, like the ASUS EeePC 1008P Karim Rashid Edition (stay tuned for the review), adds depth to it with lines and shadows. The NB305-N410 will no longer have pink as a color option, but brown, white, and blue are still available. Features The NB305 still has the 10-inch widescreen and the 1,024-by-600 resolution.

Micello - Maps for People Ear Phones I think we're entering the golden age of headphone design. Over the last few years the competition's heated up and at nearly every price level, headphone performance standards are improving at a fast and furious rate. For example, the TDK EB900 in-ear headphone I heard at the CNET office a few weeks ago were pretty amazing for around $100, but the all-new NOX Audio Scout is better, a lot better. Headquartered in City of Industry, CA, NOX Audio was founded in 2009. The superlightweight design is extremely comfortable, and while my ears are sometimes very fussy about getting a tight seal for best bass response, I had no trouble with the Scout's silicone eartips. The design features "balanced armature technology," which is rarely seen in headphones in the Scout's price class (I don't know of any others). I compared the Scout with a set of $180 Monster Turbine in-ear headphones (the base model Turbine) which I've always really loved. NOX is off to a grand start, I'm already a big fan.
