How To Find Best Laptop



The best laptop computer is the notebook PC that will fulfill all your computing needs without any hassles, glitches and other nightmares that coming with owning computers. People would be expecting that there would be a name of that PC by giving out specific brands . But if i tell you the name of that PC that would be my opinion. Bill Gates has his favorite laptop, so does Michael Dell (it better be a Dell laptop :), so do your friends and so do I. Buying anything especially computers based on someone's sole personal most liked brand can be dangerous to your wallet and overall mobile computing experience. This is a set of characteristics that you should be looking out for to determine what the best laptops are. From this list, one portable PC will make itself stand out and you'll then realize that it's the one. At the risk of sounding dramatic, it's almost like choosing a lifetime companion. Not so dramatic really -- if you think about it... After all, you will have to entrust your precious data into this notebook. It will be with you on the road. In good times and in bad times. So you might as well find and choose the perfect one.

Five steps to the best laptop computers


1)Built around your needs: The best laptop has to have been manufactured with your (mobile) computing needs in mind and not the other way round, i.e.: a computer for which you have to change your habits to get the best experience from it. Yes, it's all about you!

2) Reliability: the best laptops will never let you down. OK maybe sometimes but not 90% of your journey together. If you hear via the grapevine (from expert sources) that the computer you're considering is no good, run before you get too attached.

3) Performance: the best notebook computer will do what you want it to do at any given time and even more. That is its function and that is why you bought it in the first place. Whether you are a heavy gamer, a multi-media pro, IT professional or just love multi-tasking, your wish and commands will have to be executed fast and without a glitch.

4) Perfect price: the best laptop PCs are well priced. Well priced does not necessarily mean, ridiculously cheap. Sometimes, this can be your very first clue to start being suspicious. The best notebooks are worth what they are and what they can do. The trick is to shop for the merchant with the best price!

5) Maintenance: the best laptops are not a nightmare to maintain. Their after sales service are fast, well done and as painless as possible. You do not want to deal with a dealer or manufacturer who will try and find reasons why the warranty is void or why they need 6 months to repair and return your defective portable computer.

LCD(liquid crystal display) Or Touch Screen



Touch screen
A Touchscreen is a display which can detect the location of touches within the display area. This allows the display to be used as an input device, removing the keyboard and/or the mouse as the primary input device for interacting with the display's content. Such displays can be attached to computers or, as terminals, to networks. Touchscreens also have assisted in recent changes in the design of personal digital assistant (PDA), satellite navigation and mobile phone devices, making these devices more usable.
LCD(liquid crystal display)
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in front of a light source or reflector. It is often utilized in battery-powered electronic devices because it uses very small amounts of electric power.

Is There Life On The Red Planet

  • Mars is the planet in our Solar System that is most similar to the Earth.

  • Primitive life could survive around hydro-thermal vents near the planet's surface.
  • Nowadays it may be too cold for life to exist there. But organisms may have thrived in the past.
Mars is most similar to our earth but it has no species . The Reason that Mars is most similar to our earth is because it has the following things:
  • It has a similar temperature
At present, it's too cold for liquid water to exist on the surface. But the planet may have been warmer in the past.
  • It has an atmosphere
The atmosphere is much thinner than on Earth. Plus there's not much ozone to protect the planet from the Sun's harmful UV rays. But the atmosphere may have been thicker millions of years ago.

  • It has a rocky surface
This makes it easier for life to get a foothold. On rocky planets, all the necessary chemicals for life can collect in one place, rather than floating freely through a gassy atmosphere.
  • It has polar ice caps
These expand and contract with the planet's seasons. Although the ice is mostly frozen carbon dioxide, there is probably water there too. So like the Earth, Mars could also have a water cycle.

Will Life Be Found On Mars?

Although it's probably too cold for life to exist on the surface of Mars, it could exist in warmer pockets below ground. Micro-organisms could be living around hydro-thermal vents near the planet's surface.

In the past, Mars was a very different world. The Mars Global Surveyor probe found evidence that there was running water on the planet's surface. This would have made the planet much more hospitable to life.

Why is water essential for life?

A change in Mars' climate may have killed off primitive life forms early in the planet's history. If so, we may find fossilised evidence of life on Mars. Only time will tell.

FaceBook


FaceBook Word widely has over 69 Million users so, Facebook is primed to become one of the most widely used unified communications platforms, particularly as the social networking site adds chat functionality this month, alongside a growing array of third-party phone and messaging apps.

Despite that enormous presence, the site is still generally off the radar when it comes to acknowledging its role in modern professional lives.

Now, after a generation of what he termed single-dimensional social applications, comes a new breed of more ambitious communications tools.

One of those is Free Conference, an application developed by Iotum, which lets users organize free conference calls. Because the application is built on Facebook's backbone, it can pull in and provide a lot more information to participants: Each call has a live page where pictures of active callers are posted along with a list of invited attendees. The page can also be used to post information, to save and record conferences for later listening, and to allow a participant to request a chance to speak.

Facebook members have responded to these features, and the ease with which an impromptu call can be organized, by using the service for all sorts of unexpected applications: A contestant from the TV show The Biggest Loser organizes regular weight-loss seminars, and -- according to the company -- a group of mourners held a virtual wake where attendees could share pictures and messages online while speakers eulogized the deceased.

Iotum settled on using Facebook because it bypassed traditional channels to connect directly with end users while providing an informal, personal way to connect.

"In the world of enterprise adoption, the IT department is the last place you want to take your product to get traction," said Alec Saunders, a co-founder and CEO of Iotum. "Virtually every innovation in the last 30 years in the computing industry has entered the enterprise on the backs of end users."

Facebook, he said, simply continues that tradition of backdoor innovation, pushing forward unified communications concepts.

Rumford agreed that consumer-driven communications were pushing some radical innovations, including what he termed social rivers, which broadcast a variety of details, ranging from relevant to mundane, to friends and colleagues.

Much of this information would never previously have been sent around, he said, but because there is no expectation that any individual piece will be read and responded to, it creates a low-pressure way to share personal information and find things in common, particularly for people whom workers have met only virtually.

Lenovo U110 Takes Over Apple's MacBookAir



Ever since Steve Jobs first pulled the Macbook Air out of that envelope, similarly skinny rival notebooks have been emerging from the woodwork. The latest is the Ideapad U110 from Lenovo, which is about 18mm thin and weighs just over a kilo - that's actually slightly less than the Air, although the U110 does have a smaller screen size (11.1in opposed to the Air's 13.3in). There's no built-in optical drive, but you do get three USB ports, Ethernet and a 6-in-1 card reader. It's out now in the US for $1,999 (£1,000), but there's no word on a UK launch yet.

The Acer Aspire “Gemstone Blue” Offers 6-Speaker Dolby Sound And ManyThings



Acer has launched into the world’s most movie-mad market earlier this month.
The Taiwan-based world no. 2 in the portable personal computer business unveiled two new models under the name Aspire Gemstone Blue: The types 6920 and 8920 come with 16 and 18.4-inch screens. Both boast the latest version of Dolby’s home theatre acoustics — 5.1 CineSurround.
Aspire 8920 was the world’s first notebook PC to come with six built-in speakers, including a tube-type bass booster fitted behind the screen.
Both models have liquid crystal displays with full high definition (HD) — that is 1920 by 1080 pixel — resolution. The larger-screen model is arguably the world’s first laptop to offer 18-inch wide-screen format viewing at full HD quality.
It boasts one of the first Bluray DVD drives to come to India in a portable computer. It will allow owners to be among the first to experience high definition cinema as more and more titles appear in the Bluray format.
Acer has built into both models a special “Cine-dash media console” — a touch-sensitive and very intuitive control — alongside the laptop keyboard to provide the start-stop and fast-forward-rewind type of options for which one would normally use a separate ‘remote.’
The machines are top-end laptop computers, running Windows Vista and fuelled by contemporary dual-core Intel chips, with 2-3 GB of memory and 250 GB-320 GB of disk storage. Priced under Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 70,000 respectively, the two models seem to throw in many features that enhance the cinema experience — at a small extra cost compared to standard laptops of these specifications.

Which Browser To Use


Apple has released the latest version of its Safari web browser.
A new version of Mozilla's popular Firefox web browser is also ready for download with improved security and memory use as the tiny company takes a stab at Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser is used by three-quarters of the world's web users, far more than Mozilla's Firefox, which has a 17 percent share of the market, and Apple's Safari with 6 per cent, according to data from website analytics company Net Applications. Apple Safari's Webkit. It's incredibly fast & renders all sites I visit perfectly. It's also the first browser to achieve a score of 100% on the Acid3 Test. http:/acid3.acidtests.org/ The people are really impressed with the changes in Firefox 3 (Beta 4), but it's a snail compared to Webkit's latest build. Apple Safari's AdBlock plugin is such a good thing to install because it accelerates the rendering speed further. IE at work & it's like taking a step back in time. So, the best web browser to use is the Apple Safari or Mozilla Firefox.

Release Of Mozilla Beta 5



On Tuesday, Mozilla released yet another beta (Beta 5) for its effervescent browser to be, Firefox 3. It's been four weeks since beta 4 has been out, and seems some major bugs have been taken care of in the latest beta version (that's what Mozilla said). Many of these improvements in beta 5 have been incorporated based on community feedback from the previous beta, the company claims.

Apparently, the release (of Beta 5) has been delayed a bit due to some issues with a serious bug in the Mac version of the browser that needed some time to be fixed, the company said. And as is the case with all beta releases, this one too is labeled as a "developer preview release" and hopes to receive further maturity with the help of Web developers and Mozilla's testing community. Mozilla claims that Firefox 3 Beta 5 includes more than 750 changes over and above the previous beta that make for improved stability and Web compatibility, and enhanced user interface -- in turn resulting in the fastest Firefox ever.
