The Pentiums

Use new tech? But why?

Why do we buy diamonds? Why is it so important to give precious stones to our spouses on special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays? Many persons put their finances under strain to purchase diamonds. Credit must be given to the diamond miners for having created the image that an anniversary is incomplete without diamonds. You are not allowed to think that it is acceptable not to purchase diamonds for one is spouse. In the same way, technology solution providers have created an image that anything that is old automatically becomes outdated, risky and inefficient.

iPad 3: Rumours Abound

As you all should know by now the iPad 2 was released not so long ago. What you may not be aware of is the fact that people are already talking about the iPad 3. Yes you read right, the iPad 3.

Rumours are already abound that the iPad 3 has already been made and shipped to a number of retail outlets. Now they are predicting what will be included in the new device including features such as retina displays, camera, and a bigger chip set. If you follow the rumour mongers the iPad will have graphic as good as a Paul Horton print. Wishful thinking I say.

Many are saying the iPad 3 will be released sometime in September this year. This would make it just a few months after that of the iPad 2, so it is highly unlikely. I guess we will see.

Some are saying that the new iPad 3 will come fitted with a dual core processor called the Apple A6. This again is really difficult to accept as the iPhone 5 is expected to have an A5 not an A6 so it is more likely that an A5 will be in the iPad 3. Now if it is that the iPad 3 will have an A6 then chances are it won’t be released until sometime next year as the chip makers as not releasing these types until late this year.

It is also rumoured that an NFC chip will be included which means that users will be able to access and use your setting and data by simply flicking your wrist.

HP To End PC Business

Recently, HP announced its decision to go back to its roots. But this would mean radically changing the main business activity of the company which is the production of PCs and computer technology development. When the company was found, it was dedicated to serving the special needs of engineers and to develop ’machinery and equipment that every engineer would find necessary to exercise his profession'- such technology includes photo-shooting equipment, measuring equipment and different mechanical and electric tools for engineers and architects.

The decision of HP to go back to its roots is not quite welcomed around the world. Many IT support London specialists would probably find such a decision quite dramatic especially when most of the computer devices world is dominated by HP. In the US and Korea where the company is traditionally quite strong, the shares of HP dropped in value with nearly 20% – such a decrease makes the company almost worthless as compared to its value when it first started dominating over the computer market.

Some suggestions indicate that the company is longer a competitive rival to companies that deliver the best of computer technologies nowadays – starting with Sony and Apple and reaching Acer and Lenovo. Others think that this is a major development intended to bring the company fame in one particular sector where less competition is expected – engineering. This would mean that more specialized technology would be delivered by HP and less consumer technology would reach the stores for the general consumer.

R4 Today…Back up Game tomorrow!

With computers becoming ever more powerful, it is easy to forget that one of the main reasons for advances in the technology is because of the gaming market. As one of the many people who enjoy gaming on a regular basis, I am always keen to see how fast my machine can run and at what level graphics and sound can be processed at. The console market is of particular interest at the moment.

Disabled Access?

The BBC recently reported concerns over whether modern technology would soon alienate disabled people unable to use multi gesture controls and applications. Interestingly it is technology that has allowed people like Jeff Hall (who suffered total paralysis following a stroke at 40 years of age) to communicate with the outside world. Yet he is worried that as phones and applications develop, the chances of the disabled being able to keep up will reduce drastically.

Why the iPhone works.

My mate recently got the new HTC, it was touch screen and the user interface was pretty much the same as the iPhone. Nevertheless it wasn’t quite up to the standard of Apple’s Smartphone, for one fundamental reason. It was still too over-complicated.

Apple seems to have one premise when creating their product – make it simple. This is clearly shown in the iPhone 4 due to the logical motions of touch screen, easy user interface and layout. With a grand total of just five buttons (yes, i counted them…FIVE!!) the iPhone is ridiculously simple, brilliant and contemporary.

Other smart phones such as the Blackberry and HTC are good phones; don’t get me wrong, I personally own a Blackberry. They too are easy to use and one can generally get the hang of the interface. But with the iPhone, I find that my grandmother could use it, and you would only have to call an it support company in the direst of circumstances.

Another great feature of the iPhone is that it can double up as an iPod. Most people use iPod’s now, and it is really quite handy to be able to carry only one device instead of several. The only downside to this is that your battery will deplete much faster, so be careful.

With hundreds off apps there is actually an app for everything when it comes to the iPhone. Whether it is for getting to “A” to “B”, finding the nearest restaurant or browsing the web, the iPhone is versatile and ever evolving.

Who will win the ebook race?

Ebooks: you either love them or you hate them or you just don’t know what to think. I admit, although I own a Kindle, I didn’t know what to think abut the ipad.

My first impressions of the ipad can easily be summed up in a few words: waste, time, don’t need, not essential. Gimmick. To my mind, you couldn’t easily write on it, and thus is was semi-pointless. Yes, I thought, it has colour graphics, but surely it’ll hurt your eyes to read books on it, right?

And who knows, maybe I am right on that last point – I haven’t spent long enough reading to find out – but I am certainly not right on the others.

The thing is, after holding it in my hands, I am converted.

The ipad was heavier than I expected, I admit that. But where it failed in weight, it more than excelled in the touch-screen area. It was easy to use, and within seconds I had a handle on the controls. In many ways it makes the Kindle and other e-readers look quite old-fashioned. No bad thing, but then again the ipad does much more than reading, and you can’t forget that either.

The experts right now are saying – and I have to admit I know as much about the experts as I do about Red Diesel Bradford – that Amazon control the market, but I am personally starting to wonder how long it will be until the others catch up. I’ll be miffed if the Kindle loses its top spot, don’t get me wrong, but who knows…there are no laws against me buying an ipad too.

Smart phone not so smart for everyone

Despite many attempts to convince me otherwise, I still don’t own a smart phone. I know that they’re the must have gadget to own and that they will make my life easier, but I just can’t shake the feeling that they’re designed to control my life.

At the moment technology kind of does run our lives and with the advent of smart phones you can be plugged in anywhere and at any time…provided you’ve got full satellite coverage of course. What concerns me most however is the drain all our technology is having on simple things like my utility bills. Were I to get a smart phone the chances are that its battery life wouldn’t be half as long as my current mobile. Do I want to spend more money on my electricity bill?

I live in Coventry and I found out that the majority of my home power supply comes from Red Diesel Coventry. This is part of a group called Crown Oil who to my surprise is one of the principle suppliers of diesel and red diesel in the UK for homes and businesses. Much more surprising to me though is their commitment to decreasing their carbon footprint. It made me think, do I want to increase my own footprint by getting a smart phone? I researched further and found out that smart phones use up more power then my standard mobile. So if I were to get an iphone or an android, I’d end up spending more on my utilities and burning up more energy. With my laptop, TV, stereo, ipod and current mobile phone I’m fairly certain I’m connected enough for now.

Think before you upgrade and ask yourself, ‘Do I really need this?’

How to help the elderly cope with technological advancements

Technology has come to stay and most of us love it even if we have to keep learning because of the fact that it keeps advancing. There is virtually nothing technology does not have an impact on this present day. People can comfortably sit in their rooms to consult the services of real estate Lebanon. That is how easy technological advancement has made life. But not all humans find it easy to find their way round the many devices that are available today. The older people (especially those in their sixties and above) do not have the kind of that we all think we enjoy when using technology. There is however ways by which senior citizens can be helped to cope with the demands of technological advancements. These are just suggestions based on research and they are intended to act as help for the elderly.

The senior citizens are a unique group of people who for one reason or the other are unable to adapt to the fast pace at which development is moving. You can’t really blame them; most of the things they have to deal with now were not available during their generation. You first of all have to help them accept and appreciate the numerous advantages of technology to mankind. They need these gadgets as well so it is important that you show them a few important buttons without rushing them through the lesson. Finally, you have to be very patient as well because if they are rushed, they tend to lose interest and some of this equipment is very essential to their survival and general wellbeing.

The Digital Age Crime

If you wanted to lessen your worldwide roaming prices because, even though you were rich, you wanted better value for money, you’d probably go online and see what was out there, right? Yes, that’d be the most sensible option seeing as we live in an age where anyone from anywhere truly can make it. Likewise, if you were a music producer for TV and film you’d probably be paying attention to the vast number of unsigned but highly energetic musicians out there.

Wait…

See, to my mind, when I turn on the TV now, something stinks: it’s usually some snazzy advert about moisturiser or something, and it’s only after a few seconds that I realise what is happening. That’s when I shout at the screen “is it really that hard to do something totally original?”

I don’t know when this happened, but it definitely happened sometime in the last five years: instead of thinking up their own catchy tunes for their ads, executives got the brilliant idea to take an age-old song, one that everyone knows, and put a hip youthful vibe on it so we barely even notice what the words are. While this is all good and well because good music is timeless, I can’t help but feel a bit angry that there are all these unsigned – and newly signed – bands and vocalists out there who would jump at the chance to create an identity for something like this. It saddens me that the same old stuff keeps being rehashed. Is being original such a crime?
