Apple Cinema HD Display 30-inch LCD monitor


DESC: The new Apple Cinema Display lineup is the perfect companion for your Power Mac G5 or PowerBook. Its anodised aluminium case is sleek and elegant, and lets you use two displays much closer to each other than ever before. The new lineup is bigger, brighter and much more compatible. Choose an optional VESA mount to install your display anywhere. Each display includes a FireWire 400 hub and a USB 2.0 hub, each with two ports. So you can connect a printer or scanner, or a camcorder or digital camera. The FireWire port lets you easily use an iSight camera for video chat, presented beautifully on your Apple display, or connect your iPod dock. You can also make best use of all the latest USB 2.0 devices, whether you're using your display with a Mac or PC.

The 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display (model M9179LL/A) is a stylish and well-designed monitor, so don't let its size fool you. It's not as heavy as you might expect (just 27.5 pounds), and it's not overly difficult to move. The L-shape base is stable and sturdy. The smooth-motion hinge allows you to adjust the display 5 degrees forward or up to 25 degrees backward with very little effort.

Despite its size, the display has a small footprint, although you can also mount it on a wall. This option requires the Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter ($29) as well as a VESA mount kit.

The viewable area is 29-7/10 inches, with an optimal resolution of 2,560X1,600 and support for up to 16.7 million colors. The viewing angle of 170 degrees horizontal and vertical means you can view the display off-axis without distorting the image. The pixel response time of 16 milliseconds is impressive, particularly for a display of this size, with little ghosting or blurring of fast-moving images. The Cinema HD Display is a good choice for playing 3-D games or viewing DVD.
Power and brightness controls are tucked out of sight, so they don't spoil the appearance of the brushed aluminum bezel. A single cable houses all input types (FireWire 400, USB 2.0, DVI, and power), which helps reduce desktop clutter.

This Cinema HD Display includes two FireWire 400 ports, a Kensington security port, and a two-port, self-powered USB 2.0 hub, so you can connect a variety of peripherals, including a digital camera, scanner, camcorder, iPod dock, or iSight webcam. It also includes a DVI connector for hooking up to a Mac or a PC. Unlike some modern displays, the Cinema HD Display only supports one input, so you can't share it between two computers.

The large, bright screen of the Apple Cinema HD Display can be a little overwhelming at first, not unlike sitting in the front row at a movie theater. However, it won't take long to adjust to the display's size or revel in its sharp images, vivid colors, rich blacks, and crisp text.

Pro: Extremely high-resolution display. Bright, sharp images. Consistent color from edge to edge and corner to corner. Rich blacks and crisp text, even at small type sizes.
Con: Very expensive. Requires a dual-link DVI-capable graphics card. Only supports one input.

Warranty

LaCie Golden Disk






Lacie Golden Disk 500GB Portable Hard Drive
The campest hard drive in the universe proves to be a decent performer too...

Review LaCie has been making a selling point out of designer external hard-drives for years, but as many of its rivals have adopted a similar strategy - those not slugging it out on price, that is - the French company been forced to up the ante with ever more outlandish products.

For every stylish Porsche-designed Firewire unit or heavy metal Little Big Disk - reviewed here - there's another that's totally off the wall. Take 2005's Lego-style desktop and mobile drives - a hit with some users' inner kid, but a mental block for many others. And what about last year's Skwarim micro HDDs, kitted out in bright blue and bright pink rubber-like plastic? Fetishists, please form an orderly queue...


LaCie's Golden Disk: Midas touch

LaCie's latest, the appropriately named Golden Disk, is no less bizarre, perhaps. It's certainly the shiniest, most lustrous external hard drive we've ever seen. And we're not talking the mute matt tone of most spray-paint gilding but a true see-your-face-in-it yellow-metal mirror.

Size-wise, the Golded Disk roughly matches LaCie's Porsche desktop drive, and it's clearly the older unit's offspring. Both are largely unadorned but for a couple of logos on one side, the left, with an air vent on the other and a tiny orange activity LED in the bottom left-hand corner of the front panel. Round the back, there's the same DIN-style four-pin power connector from the same small AC adaptor, and a round push-button to turn the drive on. The Golden Disk also sports a printer-style USB port, for which there's a cable in the box. There's also a black polishing cloth to remove the fingerprints that the drive's shiny surface inevitably attracts.

But where the Porsche unit is clad in an austere, gunmetal-grey steel casing that says it means business, the Golden Disk is, as we say, very shiny, very golden and as camp as Butlins. It's not real gold - it's not heavy enough for that - but you could be forgiven for thinking you've gone and got an ingot.

It's the sort of item you'd expect to see in the Tate Modern, exhibited as a clever-dick comment on consumerism or a pithy po-mo pastiche of tasteless technology design, depending on your point of view.

C3PO's ideal hard drive?

Or you might think it just plain tasteless, more crass than class. What stops the design being little more than a Chav's must-have is the gently rippled upper face, which distorts what's reflected off it like something out of a Hall of Mirrors fairground attraction. The look comes from French design house Ora-Ïto, which also includes Toyota, LG, Swatch, Renault and Virgin among its other customers.

GLOWING APPLE KEYBOARD


Glowing Apple Keyboard installed a bright blue LED inside the Apple Pro Keyboard. This is the original mod, I did same again and posted of the process.



How to pimp an Apple Pro Keyboard (USB version) by installing a LED in its nether regions.



Put the top back on, turn the keyboard over while holding the halves together and re-attach the screws.Here you can see the LED glowing in the hole. This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Caution: Some serious screwing and probing around in holes involved, also with power tools. Proceed at your OWN RISK only!



Thar she glows (the Apple Keyboard) My new Apple Pro Keyboard is also fitted with a blue LED now.

APPLE USB KEYBOARD


Price: $57
See that? That's the rumored, "super slim," brushed aluminum keyboard said to be accompanying Apple's new iMac computer. It certainly appears to share the key design of the MacBook like we heard but seeing "Photoshop" in the exif data doesn't give us a high degree of confidence here. Regardless, a forum jockey over at the Rhapsody Apple forum in Hong Kong will sell you the keyboard (s/he has more than one) for 1,200 of the local stuff or about $153.40. Word to the wise, the consensus amongst rumor sites shows the new iMac coming as early as August 7th so you might want to hold onto that wad for a few more days to see what happens. We've got a bigger version of that image above along with the Apple development team sticker affixed to the backside of the unit in the gallery below.




The Apple Keyboard is the perfect complement to your USB-equipped Mac.


The Apple Keyboard has been completely redesigned, inside and out. It features an elegant, ultra-thin anodized aluminum enclosure with low-profile keys that provide crisp, responsive feel. It also has function keys for one-touch access to a variety of Mac features such as screen brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, fast-forward and rewind, Expose, and Dashboard. Its extended layout includes document navigation controls and a numeric keypad. And two USB 2.0 ports provide high-speed connectivity for your iPod, Mighty Mouse, digital camera, and other USB-based electronic devices.

RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY


Random access memory (usually known by its acronym, RAM) is a form of computer data storage. Today it takes the form of integrated circuits that allows the stored data to be accessed in any order (i.e., at random). The word random thus refers to the fact that any piece of data can be returned in a constant time, regardless of its physical location and whether or not it is related to the previous piece of data.
This contrasts with storage mechanisms such as tapes, magnetic discs and optical discs, which rely on the physical movement of the recording medium or a reading head. In these devices, the movement takes longer than the data transfer, and the retrieval time varies depending on the physical location of the next item.
The word RAM is mostly associated with volatile types of memory (such as DRAM memory modules), where the information is lost after the power is switched off. However, many other types of memory are RAM as well (i.e., Random Access Memory), including most types of ROM and a kind of flash memory called NOR-Flash.

History
An early type of widespread writable random access memory was the magnetic core memory, developed from 1949 to 1952, and subsequently used in most computers up until the development of the static and dynamic integrated RAM circuits in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before this, computers used relays, delay line memory or various kinds of vacuum tube arrangements to implement "main" memory functions (i.e., hundreds or thousands of bits), some of which were random access, some not. Latches built out of vacuum tube triodes, and later, out of discrete transistors, were used for smaller and faster memories such as registers and (random access) register banks. Prior to the development of integrated ROM circuits, permanent (or read-only) random access memory was often constructed using semiconductor diode matrices driven by address decoders.
Types of RAM:


Modern types of writable RAM generally store a bit of data in either the state of a flip-flop, as in SRAM (static RAM), or as a charge in a capacitor (or transistor gate), as in DRAM (dynamic RAM), EPROM, EEPROM and Flash. Some types have circuitry to detect and/or correct random faults called memory errors in the stored data, using parity bits or error correction codes. RAM of the read-only type, ROM, instead uses a metal mask to permanently enable/disable selected transistors, instead of storing a charge in them.


As both SRAM and DRAM are volatile, other forms of computer storage, such as disk and magnetic tapes, have been used as persistent storage in traditional computers. Many newer products instead rely on flash memory to maintain data when not in use, such as PDAs or small music players. Certain personal computers, such as many rugged computers and netbooks, have also replaced magnetic disks with flash drives. With flash memory, only the NOR type is capable of true random access, allowing direct code execution, and is therefore often used instead of ROM; the lower cost NAND type is commonly used for bulk storage in memory cards and solid-state drives.

Gigabyte i-RAM















Introduction:

Every once in a while, something cool appears out of nowhere and it never fails to amaze us the kind of ideas that are actually floating out there. The idea of using solid state memory as a hard disk drive is not new, but no mainstream vendor actually made the effort to turn it into a product. While there are actually Flash based hard disk drives available in the market today, from memory vendors like Transcend, these Flash based devices are not as responsive as we would like them to be. Although solid state memory do provide users with a really robust storage subsystem, it's seldom adopted since volatile and non-volatile solid-state memory devices are always too costly. Compare that with a typical 3.5-inch hard disk drive today and you'll see that you're actually paying about 100 times more per GB of storage for solid state memory.

Gigabyte's i-RAM storage card is no doubt one of the more innovative products that we've seen in months. We first previewed the card during Computex Taipei 2005 and it showed great promise. Although the card supports only four DIMM slots, it has the potential to house up to 4GB of DDR400 memory - enough to store an entire installation of Windows XP with enough space for a couple more applications. The card's concept is simple, use standard memory modules available today to build a so-called RAM disk. At first glance, the card does remind us a little of memory cards used in high-end server systems. On closer inspection, you'll see that it has a single SATA port which lets you connect to any SATA ports found in most motherboards today.



On the card itself, you'll find a Li-ion rechargeable battery which keeps the memory powered if one accidentally switches off the mains to the PC. According to Gigabyte, the battery can keep the data in the DDR modules for up to 16 hours. Even when the PC is shut down, as long as the PC's power supply is turned on, the standby current on the PCI bus will continue to power the memory modules - thus, the battery won't kick in only until there's absolutely no power going to the PC.


The card is not based on any common chipset and it utilizes a Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA (Field Programmable Grid Array) chip as the main memory controller. This means that the board's controller is solely customized by Gigabyte's research engineers. The memory controller is connected to a JMicron JM20330 Serial ATA single-chip controller.





The JM20330 chip is actually a PATA to SATA bridge and this indicates to us that the board is likely not fully SATA native. Thus, it really depends a lot on the throughput rate from the memory controller although it could theoretically max out at Ultra DMA-150 (which the JM20330 could support). There's really nothing wrong with such a design concept although we know a lot of users would hate to see a PATA-to-SATA bridge in a product that is designed for high speed access. We'll leave our judgement later until we see the results in the following pages.

HEADPHONES SET


Headphones:
Headphones are a pair of small loudspeakers, or less commonly a single speaker, with a way of holding them close to a user's ears and a means of connecting them to a signal source such as an audio amplifier, radio or CD player. They are also known as earphones, earbuds, stereophones, headsets or, informally cans. In the context of telecommunication, the term headset is used to describe a combination of headphone and microphone used for two-way communication, for example with a telephone.












History

The telephone earpiece such as the one pictured at the right was common around the turn of the 20th century. From the earpiece developed the headphones. Sensitive headphones were the only way to listen to audio signals before amplifiers were developed.

Very sensitive headphones such as those manufactured by Brandes around 1919 were commonly used for early radio work. These early headphones used moving iron drivers, either single ended or balanced armature. The requirement for high sensitivity meant no damping was used, thus the sound quality was crude. They also had very poor comfort compared to modern types, usually having no padding and too often having excessive clamping force to the head. Impedance varied, but 1,000 to 2,000 ohms was common,



which suited both triodes and crystal sets. When used with early powered radios, the headphone was normally connected to the positive high voltage battery terminal, and the other battery terminal was securely earthed. The use of bare electrical connections meant that users could be shocked if they touched the bare headphone connections while adjusting an uncomfortable headset.


Applications:
Headphones can be used both with fixed equipment such as CD or DVD players, home theater, personal computers and with portable devices (e.g. digital audio player/mp3 player, mobile phone, etc.). Cordless headphones do not need to be connected via a wire, receiving a radio or infrared signal encoded using a radio or infrared transmission link, like FM, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. These are actually made of powered receiver systems of which the headphone is only a component, these types of cordless headphones are being used more frequently with events such as a silent disco or Silent Gig.
Headphones are widely used for listening to audio sources for recreation. In the professional audio sector headphones are used in live situations by disc jockeys with a DJ mixer and sound engineers for monitoring signal sources. In radio studios, DJs use a pair of headphones when talking to the microphone while the speakers are turned off, to eliminate acoustic feedback and monitor their own voice. In studio recordings, musicians and singers use headphones to play along to a backing track. In the military, audio signals of many varieties are monitored using headphones.
Wired headphones are attached to an audio source. The most common connectors are 1/4" and 3.5 mm stereophonic jack plugs and sockets. The older 1/4" standard is used on professional equipment, and is often used on fixed equipment. Sony introduced the smaller, cheaper, and now widely-used, 3.5 mm "mini" stereo connector in 1979, adapting the older monophonic 3.5 mm connector for use with its Walkman portable stereo tape player. Adapters are available for converting between 1/4" and 3.5 mm devices.

UMID M1 mbook sans HSDPA


Updated import pricing:
UMID M1 mbook sans HSDPA


Justek emailed to let me know that they've just updated their import pricing on the lower spec'd HSDPA-less UMID M1 mbook MID. UMID sells this model (1.33GHz Atom, 512MB RAM, Linux, 16GB SSD) for 759,000 KRW (~$564 USD) in Korea, so Australia-based Justek's new $930 AUD (~$658 USD) asking price isn't too bad. For an additional $155 AUD (~$110 USD), the company will ship the white clamshell MID with Windows XP Home SP3 installed.

US consumers may not be too thrilled with the idea of paying $750+ for an XP-based MID that doesn't come with integrated 3.5G, but if you have your own copy of XP and can obtain the drivers (which should eventually be made available for download on UMID and possibly Justek's site), $658 is fairly reasonable for what the M1 mbook has to offer in its compact body.
The MID is expected to be in stock at Justek next week.



Man, talk about loving the drama. UMID's mbook M1 has sent us on a roller coaster of emotion, and clearly the ride is far from over. After hearing that the totally cute MID was actually nowhere near a US release and that early builds were having some nasty quality issues, Pocketables has come forward with some (mostly) positive news. For starters, the unit will be delayed until May in Australia and Hong Kong, but the reasoning is sound: there's an improved shell being implemented that will hopefully not crumble with use. Sadly, a US release date is still "unknown," and we're told that models sans HSDPA will be available prior to those with HSDPA. Check the read link for a few of the finer points, but don't even bother if you're not willing to pull the import trigger.

KEYBOARD

Keyboard:

The Everun Note has a 73-key QWERTY keyboard with 16mm pitch (the Vaio P keyboard, in
comparison, has 82 keys and 16.5mm pitch).



The layout is non-standard, with most of the punctuation keys residing in the top row, so the out-of-box typing experience is slower and less accurate than it is after the layout is learned.

The biggest obstacle for me is the size of the comma and period keys, which are too small given how often they're used. It already feels foreign to have the enter key right next to the L key, especially when in full touch-typing hand position; reducing the size of the period key exacerbates that awkwardness and makes accidentally hitting the shift key too easy.

Having to be mindful of these keys really has an impact on typing speed and accuracy.


The punctuation key issues aren't as much of a problem when hunting-and-pecking or even thumb typing (lots of stretching involved), but it definitely gets in the way when touch typing. Yes, touch typing: both hands on the keyboard, not looking at your fingers while typing. Depending on the size of your hands, real touch typing is not only possible, it's pretty comfortable too.

After two weeks of daily practice, I'm now seeing typing speeds of 70 wpm, about 79% of my average typing speed on a full-size keyboard (see my mobile device keyboard typing speeds chart for more comparisons). Accuracy is still challenged, though not as much by the punctuation keys as by the responsiveness of the spacebar. I find that unless I tap it deliberately and more forcefully than is natural to me, the key press won't register and I'll end up with text that is smashedtogetherlikethis. Not good.

Even with those issues in mind, however, the Everun Note keyboard is still outstanding for its size. Please refer to my keyboard size comparison photos to see how it compares to other devices. This will not be true for everyone, but for me, this is the smallest keyboard that I can touch type on both comfortably and naturally.
