New to the family of Anycall

According to Unwired View, in the nearest time-series mobile phones from Samsung Anycall soon added a new model - S3500. New product will be sold only in Europe and Asia. According to preliminary data, the mobile device has allegedly shown with a resolution of 320 × 240, 2-megapixel camera, FM tuner and media player. The amount of internal memory is 35 MB of S3500, but it is possible to extend it by using memory cards microSD.

Note that this model supports only a four-band GSM, but no EDGE, and the more 3G. Nevertheless, the phone has a built-browser and email client. In short, we are the most typical entry-level mobile phone. Apparently, in a crisis the South Korean company begins to pay more attention to this segment.

On the cost and availability of Anycall S3500, unfortunately, not a word.

AMD is betting on the dispersal and Socket AM3

Continuing the theme Phenom II and Socket AM3. It seems that AMD really relies not only on the faster memory DDR3, but also on the acceleration. However, the other trump cards from the Green Team is not as high upper potential is the main advantage of the architecture K10.5, and without overclocking, even the most powerful chip from a family of Phenom II AM2 +, 940, can not beat the Core 2 Quad 9300 and 9400. This conclusion already reached almost all the independent sources that have been able to test this chip.

Now the Green Team is looking at the Socket AM3, and, of course, at higher clock frequency. So, according to data from the German portal News-AMD.de, AMD plans to bring to market new models with higher nominal frequency. They will support Socket AM3, memory DDR3, and that is important, with increased frequency of system bus HyperTransport (from 1800 to 2000 MHz). They are listed above.

All the above models will be released this year. Note that TDP for all models is 125 W, and step changes in the multiplier is increased to 100 MHz (0,5 x).

The new player from mobiBLU

Korean manufacturer of portable media mobiBLU, introduced a new model of MP3-player - A10 UFO. Innovation can be connected to other devices via Bluetooth, as well as unusual because of the availability of built-2-Watt dynamics of NXT Technologies. The player can play audio files in formats ASF, MP3, OGG and WMA.

The player does not have built the display, but the device is able to vibrate, performing some of the team. Embedded lithium-ion battery pack provides up to six hours of playing through the main speaker, 15 hours of playback. A10 comes in black and red color with a memory of 512MB to 8GB. On the price and delivery dates not yet announced.

Samsung has prepared the next 8-megapixel camera phone

The first data on the regular 8-megapixel camera phone from Samsung, Memoir t929, appeared on the site of T-Mobile. It is expected that this model will be on sale February 25, at a cost of $ 300, says GSM Arena.

It is not difficult to guess, the main structural Memoir is the 8-megapixel camera with flash. In addition, the device can still boast of the user interface TouchWiz UI. The model, as we see a fairly simple and is aimed at those who appreciate the speed, but not very nice for the quality of images. It is also worth noting that the price Memoir very nice - only 300 dollars.

AMD is always dedicated to it's fans

Given the fact, the Phenom II upper very high potential, many fans are waiting for AMD certainly look, when such chips for Socket AM3 will be on sale. The point is that, for the idea, they should be more powerful than their relatives who support the Socket AM2 +, if only because they will work with memory DDR3. But according to Fudzilla, Phenom II AM3 is still very "raw", as AMD has not yet agreed to all the problems associated with the integration of DDR3 memory controller in the crystal processor.

At this time, the platform on the basis of DDR2 memory and processors with Socket AM2 + is not only faster but also cheaper, as well as DDR3 memory is almost two times more expensive than DDR2. The idea, Socket AM3 to provide 2-fold performance in comparison with the AM2 +, but so far this has not happened. At the moment, the only consolation for fans of AMD is that AM3 processors are compatible with the AM2 + boards and they get along fine with the memory of DDR2. It seems that most users do the same.

Acer wants to produce smartphones again

According to Unwired View, Acer today officially obyaila of its intention to present at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2009, which will be held in mid-February in Barcelona, Spain, its first smartphone. Given that the year before last Acer acquired E-Ten, one of the leading manufacturers of smart phones in Taiwan, the Taiwanese company is quite a statement should not surprise anyone. But that Acer will show in Barcelona, this is a different matter.

As is known, until recently, Acer sells such mobile devices in Asia and Eastern Europe, including Russia, under the brand name Glofiish, but now she wants to publish them under its own name.

While difficult to say that Acer will show visitors MWC'09, but most likely it will be a smartphone platform Windows Mobile, and he will work under Windows Mobile Professional 6.5. Remember that this is the most recent version of Windows Mobile, and said that she would be released on her way out the other day. According to Unwired View, the fact is that E-Ten has long been producing smart phones on this platform and have already gained some experience in this field. On the other hand, the company has had very limited opportunities for marketing, and frankly, the design of its products leaves much to be desired. With the Acer case with E-Ten, it may soon go on the way.

It should be noted that Acer may also present for the users of the first Android Phone, as this platform from Google enjoys increasing popularity of mobile devices. So wait, you will see, the more that the wait is short.

The first Xeon Nehalem is fast approaching

Apparently, Intel is ready to bring to market its first server chips on the architecture of Nehalem. According to the Austrian resource Fudzilla, model Xeon W 55xx, Xeon X 55xx, Xeon L 55xx and Xeon E 55xx, which will be officially presented on 29 March and, on the idea, the next day they should appear on the market.

The most powerful chip from this family, 4-nuclear processor Xeon W5880, is a nominal clock frequency 3.2 GHz, 8 MB of cache and supports the system bus QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with bandwidth 6.4 Gbps. As processors Core i7, which are intended for use in high-performance desktop systems, it supports Socket LGA1366. In batches of 1,000 units and above Xeon W5880 will cost 1557 dollars.

In the second model of power, X5570, it runs at 2.93 GHz. Its price - 1349 dollars. It should be noted in your processor will not include fan. This, frankly, was not in the history of Intel.

Agora is coming very soon

What is Kogan Phone, many probably know. The idea, first Android Phone by Ruslan Kogan were to appear on sale this month, but after Google said Australians, that the design, to put it mildly, Agora far from perfect, Kogan was forced to take a step back.

As an Australian said in a conversation by telephone with Engadget Mobile, now he and his team engaged in the removal of defects, and it is quite possible that we will soon see an improved version of Kogan Phone soon. Again, Kogan Phone deliveries were expected to begin this month, but due to problems with the resolution of the display and incompatibilities with certain applications, Kogan has had to extend the deadline for the supply for an indefinite period. But the draft Kogan Phone alive.

Mattel MindFlex, trains your brain waves

MindFlex is a game that moves a ball by a circuit using the player's level of concentration

"If you're training to be a good Jedi, you may have to buy a MindFlex" Master Yoda. Or at least try, I might add, because the original game based on Mattel theta waves generated from the frontal and temporal lobe of the brain used to learn to control your state of relaxation.

The Mattel MindFlex is a game whose mission is to overcome a circuit moving a ball floating through mental waves. Coif looks, but CLiPset we tried something similar and it really works, but the dynamics of the game itself does not for long. MindFlex is more spectacular than any other ... it seems to levitate the ball in the air, but that is not because of mind control but a small fan on the bottom which the speed, this time it is controlled by the mind. The MindFlex costs $ 80 and obviously is not recommended for decerebrated, but now to know if you can hack sensors Theta waves for something more useful.

The operation could not be more simple, you put the tape with sensors on the side of the head, you relax and you're trying to increase or decrease depending on the ball obstacles circuit (which can be modified to create new ones). Best video you see.

Dangerous Downadup virus infected more than 10 million PCs

Experts in network security while nothing can oppose invasion computer worm Downadup. The worm also has two other titles: Conficker and Kido. Currently, it has already infected more than 10 million computers worldwide.

The data provided by F-Secure, has already spent several years in the field of network security. Now 41 percent of infected PCs is in Russia, Brazil and China. In the U.S., apparently, people are more cautious, because there is infected with only one hundred computers.

Some experts believe that the risk of further transformation of the epidemic in the pandemic has passed: from 14 to 16 January was infected with more than six million PCs, and from 16 to 23 - "only" a million. It appears that the peak of the epidemic virus Downadup in the past.

Reported that exposure to the PC user attackers used the vulnerability of MS08-067 (OS Windows). This "hole" allows you to perform a third-party code on a user's computer. The virus uses the vulnerability to upload their own code.

Firefox Mobile will appear in the HTC Touch Pro

Firefox Mobile, at last, ready for joining the world of mobile devices. In December we wrote about the possible plans of developers Fennec on smartphones Symbian, but they are set aside for later, and in the near future, the browser will be implemented in the HTC Touch Pro. And, already next week.

Presumably, the browser will be tested on several platforms, HTC, and then only begin to cooperate with Windows Mobile. There is information that the Windows-smartphones, it will appear in Bethe, but when - it is not known.

General Mobile - already with Android

While talking about the presentation of Staff to support Android still under way, General Mobile has introduced its Communicator DSTL1 on this platform.

Philips Cinema 21:9, the ultra-screen panoramic film

Philips unveils first LCD 21:9 ratio ultra-screen panoramic

Film really know that there is life beyond the 16:9 widescreen format (Ben-Hur has an original format 2,76:1) and Philips for them seems to have created this Cinematic Viewing Experience as called Ambilight screen Cinema 21:9 56-inch.


Cinema is the first 21:9 LCD TV from the world of these shares (with an aspect ratio of 2,4:1, the same used in Panavision 70mm film) and incorporates the technology of lighting cromatica side Ambilight. According to the guys from Philips is designed specifically to enjoy the entire width of the audiovisual experience, with special attention ... to the widescreen format movies. And no, no good to see two films at both plan double screen.

We had already tried other ultra-screen panoramic curved screens like we had enough (with a more dedicated to the games), but the bet Philips aims to dominate the living room (or across a room, by the way). 21:9 The Movies will be available sometime in the 2009 price and still not determined.

A malicious doubt. If an unadjusted screen 16:9 format, people seemed gordita, this result should be something amazing.

Sirona introduced CEREC, a scanning system for dental dentists of the future

We all have fears that these tools are foreign dentists in the consultation. But digital technology comes to our rescue with CEREC, with this you are capable of doing a complete scan of your teeth and re-create in 3D.

Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS, double subwoofer

We tested the impressive serious of Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS

This morning we were really surprised when connecting this pair of speakers and to the fact that BASS is written in capital letters in its name is not accidental. Despite its attractive appearance, the best of the Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS are the power and sharpness of the serious offers.


The trick lies in its base. Each unit has a subwoofer 100mm diameter oriented soil that generates 9 watts at frequencies from 40 to 200 Hz, and they sound really good (like no other we've tested in its class). Perhaps it has something to do ... its tapered design.

The Expressionist BASS are designed to connect to any computer or sound source using the 3.5mm jack and the truth is that, with an interesting design (and sound), they can put a dent in the lounge. The price is € 129.90 and are available in several colors to suit the consumer, provided they are white or black.

The best plays of the stage to the screen of your PSP

Arsenal and Sony announced a service that lets you enjoy the best plays of the game on the PSP

It seems that Sony is looking to give new impetus to its versatility (but underused) PSP. Today we learned an interesting story, if you are fond of going to see live football. The issue is that, next to Arsenal FC, have developed a system that allows streaming video within the stadium, any PSP can enjoy the best moments playing the game even after they have occurred.


The screen will show the best PSP game, but the statistics and other information of interest (even though ... you move the joystick, you can not make changes on the bench or haggling with Fábregas to get a goal). The project does not want to stop here, and intend in future to add more features for social hooligans. You will see in most stadiums?

It seems that the time of going to football with the sandwich and radio are giving way to the sandwich and the PSP.

iMo- if Apple make cars

iMo is a concept electric vehicle of the future, with Apple aesthetic

iMo and there does not seem likely to ever leave the drawing board (and less with the Apple brand). But it is nice to imagine, and this time the designer Anthony Jannarelly left on his fly line design of Apple.


It reminds me of the story * comparing the evolution of the automobile industry and the computer, but silliness aside, the IMO is an electric vehicle (including induction) that keeps ... the ideas of ecology, small size and versatility. Indeed, this two-seater (+1) would the Segway technology. Here is the video.

* Note: The story in question is to say that during a computer trade show, in which Bill Gates attended a conference for Microsoft, and the spirit to be as graphic as possible during his speech, he wanted to impress everyone in attendance making a comparison between the achievements of Microsoft and the automotive industry:

"If General Motors had developed technology like the computer industry in recent years, now we could drive cars at speeds of up to 160,000 km / h, weigh less than 14 kilograms and could travel a distance of 1,000 kilometers One liter of gasoline. Moreover, its price would be about $ 25. "

General Motors days later he met with the following press release written by its president Mr. George Welch:

"Mr. Gates may be right, but if the auto industry has followed the evolution of computing and General Motors had developed technology like Microsoft, cars today have the following characteristics:

* Your car would have two accidents every day, you can not explain the cause.

* Every time lines painted on the road again, would have to buy another car that was compatible with the new layout.

* Occasionally, your car would stop in the middle of a freeway for no reason. You should accept the fact with resignation, restart and continue driving hoping that the situation does not recur, of course, would have no guarantee of that.

* In some cases, stops his car and could not restart. This may occur when attempting a maneuver (such as turn left). The solution is to reinstall the engine again. Strangely, you also have to accept the fact resigned.

* In principle, only you could put in the car. However, it would be able to buy the "car2000" or "carNT" but paying an extra fee for 'each additional passenger.

* Apple built cars that run on solar energy and be faster, easier to drive and cheap. But could only move about 5% of the roads. Would be inconsistent with other buyers, and finally resigned to eventually buy the car of General Motors.

* The airbag system of the car before asking activated in case of accident: "Are you sure?". If answer "Yes", would ask. "It is going to activate the airbag. Are you sure you want to be active. "

* In addition, the doors of his vehicle and crash frequently for no apparent reason. However, it could reopen as a trick by using the trigger button while touring with one hand and the key contact with the other grabs the radio antenna.

* Whenever you submit a new General Motors vehicle, drivers should re-learn to drive because none of the controls would operate as in the previous model.

* General Motors is obliged to buy a car with the card of any of its subsidiaries signatures. If not done, your car would become a 50% slower. Consequently, General Motors would be investigated by the justice. "

* Each time you enter a new market, buyers would have to learn to drive again because none of the controls operating in the same manner as above.

* We should press' Start 'to turn off the car.

They say that Bill Gates never replied.

Apple Macintosh, 25 years of home computer

Apple revolutionized the world of personal computing with the Macintosh

If someone did not know, Apple started making computers, and just celebrated its 25th anniversary tomorrow of the computer that gave him fame and prestige, the Macintosh. The story behind the Macintosh is a plot of tension in which Jobs showed the best of his genius and the worst of his tyranny.

1984 Apple Macintosh

The launch the Macintosh was surrounded in mystery until the announcement "1984" directed by Ridley Scott was broadcast in the middle of the Super Bowl. During these 25 years, Apple has made 3 significant changes in design. After a classic case with CRT display, which lasted 14 years, the iMac came from the hand of the return of Jobs in 1998. ... The iMac includes a modem to connect to the Internet and had several versions of colors. In 2002 came the iMac G4, known as the first iLamp flat screen. Finally in 2004 the model was launched with the current design, which has changed its processor and finishes, but keeps the computer in one.

Do not miss the fun retro look Videobranch in which the Macintosh, and revealed certain curiosity.

We found a rack with hangers geek joysticks for video gamers

Yesterday he brought the lamp joystick and today to supplement, we have the rack joystick. Unlike the first, the rack is sold commercially in Lounge Arcade and is available in black or red and joysticks for three or four players coats.


Best of all, the detail of the button for selecting the number of players.

2eleven, the high-tech football

2eleven is a football with LCD screens ready for the future

The football, the great invention recreation, not to evolve and it does so in parallel with new technologies. The 2eleven is a good example, which has a futuristic design supported by two LCD screens on the sides that, despite offering no repetition of the best plays, it does represent a technological breakthrough.

It is not that much has 2eleven technology inside. A simple LED scoreboard and that's it. Could have been stretched a little more material using Hi Tech for the players or silicone grips for NASA, but no, that's all. The screens ... not currently have a defined value beyond the mere publicity, but with a little imagination allow something like more interesting and interactive in the future. After all, they will not be less simple than a vending machine ... I think.

The WALL-E Sandwich

Developed a sandwich-shaped Wall • E

To celebrate the nomination of Wall • E at the Oscars in Hollywood, some freak has decided to create a memorial sandwich with some bread, ham, cheese, olives and a couple of strategically placed. This is a nice result.

I almost ready for dinner last night, but then I thought it is impossible to eat a sandwich that you see with these eyes, so I changed (rightly) menu. If you want to see more photos, you have a few on Flickr

The Simpsons - 20 years going to HD

Future episodes of "The Simpsons" will be in High Definition

Although thanks to the continuous replenishment of Antenna 3 seems that Simpson for more than a century with us, the fact is that this year fulfill its 20th anniversary to celebrate and have decided to move to High Definition (HD)

This coming February 15 and Homer family debut in HD on FOX. Recall that Simpson has already tested the film in HD, but also the 3D and the Real World ™. I am not very clear ... if enough notice the difference between HD and SD Simpson, but surely there is more than in South Park, which also announced its premiere in HD.

SkiGym, ski simulator room

SkiGym is a motorized platform that simulates skiing

If you thought that skiing is an outdoor sport then you may need to replicate the concepts. The thing is changing, and not just because we say the indoor ski slopes. SkiGym has now gone beyond the sport has the very living room.


SkiGym is something like WiiFit for skiers, but more advanced. It has two independent power platforms that make "skis" virtual vibrating, tilt and rotate. SkiGym is a very technically advanced ... designed to be used both in training and in rehabilitation, is not in vain 1549 euros. Of course it has the Ski Alpin Racing Simulator 2007 which includes 32 channels of real speed, slalom and jump (snowboarders refrain).

Now that we are in the season you feel like a nonsense, but when summer arrives and you are sure that the monkey you see with different eyes. Indeed, neither the ambiance of the room, nor snow clothes, nor pants are included.

Acer is preparing a MID?

Apparently, Acer really wants to enter the market of mobile Internet devices, writes Electronista. Remember that the term (Mobile Internet Device - MID) was first introduced Intel in 2007, and such mobile devices are mini computers, which, in the idea, should allow users to gain access to the global computer network at any place, wherever they may be. As shown in the figure below, the future MID from Acer has a great display and is very much like GPS navigators. It is possible that it is touch-sensitive display. Apparently, he can work with different media formats, and the audio output diameter of 3.5 mm spoke eloquently about this. With regard to e-filling of the mobile device, yet nobody knows, but most likely it will be based on the now fashionable processor Atom. There is a docking station to synchronize with a personal computer.

At the moment it is all that is able to learn about this mysterious mobile device from Acer.

It looks like the PlayStation 5?

To put it mildly, in the recent sales of PlayStation 3 left much to be desired. This game console from Sony again proved not only behind the Wii from Nintendo, and Xbox 360 from Microsoft. So far, Sony thinks that needs to be done to increase the sales of PS3, the most among fans that the game consoles are already looking ahead, trying to help the Japanese company to develop the perfect product, which could carry in the fluff and dust of any competitor.

What you see in the pictures shown below, is nothing like a conceptual attachment PlayStation 5, developed by designer Garoldom Smukom (Harold Smook). Her name - Enso, which is translated from the Japanese language means "the light of enlightened." Apparently, when developing Enso author drew inspiration from Zen, one of the flow of Buddhism, which is very popular in Japan, and Japanese folklore, so the design of this model is soft, round shape. With regard to the technical characteristics of Enso, then according to the author, the future attachment of Sony should have the following features:

- USB4
- DVD drive with a capacity of terabyte
- Backward compatibility with DVD and CD
- The connector for the expansion of SD memory card capacity up to 1 Tbyte
- Wireless remote control
- Wireless Internet connection
- 3D projector
- High-capacity battery

The idea, I should say, very interesting and original. Let us hope that, one way or another, it will be implemented in its new Sony products.

Latitude XT2 nearly ready

When Dell introduced the Latitude XT in the year before last, the model has led to this boom, not only among users and professionals. The point is that this is the first Tablet PC, which has a touch screen type MultiTouch. But nearly two years, and as it turned out, Dell is ready to bring to market two models in this series.

According to Electronista, an American company unveiled yesterday the preliminary technical data on the Latitude XT2. Thus, there is every reason to believe that the output of this from the Dell case is almost a solution, and we will soon see it on sale.

Unlike previous models, Latitude XT, XT2 has an integrated graphics Intel GMA X4500, and not ATI. In addition, this uses a hard drive with compact form factor 1.8-inch. In fact, it only supports cards ExpressCards 34 mm, 54 mm and not as before. With regard to memory, the Latitude XT2 support up to 5 GB, not 3 as is the case with the previous model. At this point, it seems that the differences between them ends. Like the XT, XT2 is based on low-voltage processor Ultra Low Voltage Core 2 Duo, (the truth, in this case refers only to Penryn, but not Merom!) And also has a 12.1-inch display with LED backlight and 1280 × 800.

It should be noted that the Latitude XT2 much lighter than its predecessor: the weight of this model is only 1 kg (635 g less weight XT). In addition, one of the three USB ports can be used in PowerShare, to charge the external device, even if the computer is turned off. In fact, it is an analog technology Sleep n'Charge, which is already in use in most of the latest generation of mobile systems from Toshiba.

Not yet known how much it will cost the Latitude XT2, but the price of the first model in the series was about 2500 U.S. dollars.

The "Abyrvalg" will to live?

Interesting project Abyrvalg "started its work recently. The authors of the resource position its service as "useful for life in the city here and now." In fact, the project is helping some people make their choice with the help of others. The principle of the service is simple enough.

"Abyrvalg" is a "shell" for custom content - in the resource can express an opinion about your favorite restaurant of the city, its negative attitude to the Large Hadron Collider, to tell where you can stay overnight in the small town of the hinterland.

In general, the main objective of the project - to help the person find a "place of fish", that is to find the best: the best restaurant, best dentist, best kindergarten for their child.

Abroad, such projects is extremely popular - for instance, TripAdvisor. The sponsors are hoping to join the Russian-speaking users, creating an authoritative community, not less reliable than foreign counterparts.

The idea is very interesting - and register on the site is already open. You can register at the invitation of one of the registered users as well as their own.
