Gadget geeks can now get the best of both worlds, if they can’t decide between buying a smart phone or tablet. Asus has revealed its PadFone which allows you to dock and convert a 4.3” Android smartphone into a large 10.1” tablet.
Packing a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor under its Super AMOLED qHD display, the Asus PadFone is designed with an 8MP rear camera plus LED flash and f/2.2 autofocus lens. It is available from 16GB to 64GB and even comes with microSD storage for memory hungry users. Other specs include Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI, Ice Cream Sandwich, A-GPS, 1,520mAh battery and HSPA+.
The versatility of Asus PadFone does come at a price as the 10.1” dock is an optional accessory. But it is worth the money if you yearn for bigger display and extended battery life. Yes, slipping the smart phone into the station not only improves ergonomics, it increases battery life up to a whopping 9 times.
And to sweeten the deal, the dock comes with a stylus that lets you write/draw on the display and also doubles as a headset for receiving calls. Now, that is a smart and cool gadget which I can’t wait to try out.
Industrial PCs which are used commonly in the manufacturing sector to run automated processes differ greatly from personal PCs. HMIs and Industrial PCs have to be designed for rugged environments to withstand extreme temperatures. Having the automation stop due to errors or breakdowns could result in huge losses for bosses.
While there is a diverse range of robust industrial PC products in the market, it is important to choose one which promise high reliability, excellent EMC values, low noise, temperature tolerance as well as shock and vibration resistance. We should also consider easy serviceability, cutting edge processor technology and long product lifecycles.
With each industrial PC scalable in its performance, connectivity and size to fit the requirements of individual applications and can be customized in different configurations, clients can focus on their core competencies while achieving solid results.
Customized industrial PC products have proven to be popular and ideal for markets such as transportation, communications, energy and OpenVPX defense designs.
The company has been a global leader in embedded computing technology and continues to invest heavily in R&D. The large array of Intel based Industrial PC Rack Mount platforms around two core architectures: passive backplane (SBC) and motherboard support greater combination of ISA / PCI expansion slots and longer life cycles.

With over 500,000 apps in Apple’s App store, it is one mind boggling task to go through the entire list hunting for undiscovered gems.
As developers add more apps, it is getting harder to find what you want and for new apps to breakthrough. However, Apple may bring some order to the “mess” with its newly acquired app search platform Chomp.
After its runaway iPhone 4S success, Apple has nearly $100 billion of cash, hence picking up Chomp isn’t going to hurt their coffers. And seeing how they incorporate Siri seamlessly into new generation iPhones, Chomp’s search technology should be another shrewd acquisition.
As an Apple fan, I can’t wait for a revamped App store which promises faster, more efficient and interactive search for content.
Samsung is set to continue the phenomenal success of its Galaxy S series devices, especially S II which has gained universal praise and sales volume. Its third generation Galaxy S smartphone is expected to be announced at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in February 2012.
Samsung Galaxy S III may come with a quad-core processor, 720p HD Super AMOLED Plus display for stunningly bright and an sharp, colorful display as well as Android 4.0 operating system, the Ice Cream Sandwich.
More interesting for gadget fans is that Samsung may be incorporating 3D technology into playback, photo and video recording into either Galaxy S III or Galaxy S 3D. The 3D feature is the same kind of glasses-free 3D technology as Nintendo’s 3DS handheld but so far, 3D phones in the market like HTC Evo 3D and LG Optimus 3D have not really taken off.
But with Galaxy S devices being so popular, 3D technology for mobile games and streaming video may finally come to the fore. Once users and developers start creating content and apps rapidly, 3D technology could be indispensable feature of smartphones.
2012 could really shape up to be an intense smartphone battle between Samsung and Apple on features, design and patents. Stay tuned for the Mobile World Congress trade show to see who gain the upperhand.
We have smart phones and tablets these days and stay connected with others all day. But computers are still indispensable as most of us do our serious work there, either at home or in the office.
However, the documents, media files and programs stored in our computers can’t always be accessed when you travel which is annoying. If only there is a remote control software that lets you have access to your home or office computer whenever you are away.
Well, such remote desktop software does exist which allow you to view the computer screen and control the mouse and keyboard, as if you were sitting right in front of that computer, regardless of your physical location. Heck, you can even check on your maid or kids using the remote camera mode.
With Remote Utilities (RUT), one of the most effective software available, there is no need for IP addresses, port forwarding, special IT knowledge or David Copperfield magic to do all the above. Just by clicking a button, you can remotely manage any desktop in your internal network and connect from any location through the net without arranging the router or worry about firewalls.
Today, the trend of people becoming more mobile as well as working from home instead of office has led to an increasing demand for remote desktop software. Whether it is for home or commercial purpose, instant access computers using a direct and effective IP to IP connection which avoid firewalls is now possible.
The more desktops you have in your company the more effort and time needed to manage. Or you have friends and family members with desktop problems and need your help. Or you are providing remote customer support to clients on demand. No problem!
If you need to support many customers, the Helpdesk license provides you with unlimited server installations which is essentailly a lifetime license with free version upgrades and volume discounts. The only limitation is the number of helpdesk technicians you can employ. The license is transferable, say when you replace your PC with a new one. And there is technical support so you don’t have to be an IT expert.
On-premise mediation server allows you a choice between RUT’s global servers for the mediated connection, or a direct independent connection using your own gateway mediation server (GMS) installed on your premises.
Another useful feature is QuickConnect for your customers to run the executable file without requiring installation or administrative rights. In addition, the administrator can customize the file by showing your text and logo before distributing it to remote customers. This helps in the branding of your company. All you need to do is to run the file and wait for the helpdesk technician to connect to them.
The software has also incorporated tabs, like a web-browser. Tabs represent different remote PCs, so you can switch between different desktops to open, edit and save files from the same window. Address Book Manager is a storage area that enables you to work with multiple address books. You can also set the ‘Read only’ parameter for any address book in the storage thus protecting it from being modified.
This year, after much hyping and speculation, Apple fans ended up greatly disappointed by iPhone 5 non-appearance. But their wait could be well worth it as a redesigned iPhone 5 may launch in Fall 2012.
The sixth generation iPhone could sport an aluminum rear casing, with a rubberized bezel much like Apple’s iPhone 4 bumper cases. Gone are the Gorilla glass which although stylish, is highly susceptible to cracks and smashes.
This will be the first iPhone without the innovation and marketing genius of Steve Jobs to get techies into a tizzy. iPhone 4S did not impress but broke sales records, will iPhone 5 achieve the same success?
Siri is a nifty feature of iPhone 4S and a good reason for upgrading your old iPhones.
This dude decided to merge new technology with antiques – a retro rotary phone incorporating Siri. He took a Bluetooth headset, relocated the speaker and microphones in the dumbbell receiver and rewired the phone so that dialing “1″ activated Siri.
Check out the video.. it is really cool if our grandfathers had a chance to play with Siri.
Downtime is annoying for most webmasters and visitors. They can’t access information or email when they want it. If you depend on your website for income, converting traffic into sales is important but an error page can only turn away potential customers.
Even if you use a high-quality web hosting company, they can’t guarantee 100% uptime. Worse still, we are usually not informed when a website stops working either due to maintenance, overload or malware, and only realize it when users inform us or we check the websites regularly. However, checking websites several times a day to see if they are working properly is inefficient, especially if you own a tonne of them.
The downtime problem can be overcome with Dotcom Monitor – a leading web site monitoring innovator and provider since 1998. It ensures performance and uptime of e-business by monitoring, reporting, notifying and analyzing the situation according to your needs. You will no longer need manual labor to track the status of websites as notifications will be sent through email or SMS message and you can then take necessary steps to restore it.
The evaluation is superior to other services which offers a simple ping or just check if your website connection opens an HTTP port. Such primitive methods may work in the days of static HTML pages but many websites are now database driven and contains dynamic processes, such as shopping carts, account logins, sign-up processes, etc.
To check the complete “business process,” one would have to go through many steps, like a human being would, and make sure each page is properly delivered by the web server. Very few website monitoring services can achieve this, which happens to be the most important part if you don’t want to lose any sales or signups.
Dotcom-Monitor can monitor complex business transactions, and checks and records data for each page. It then provide summarized information on the whole transaction or each individual step. Recording transactions is a breeze with the Macro recorder. You simply go through your website’s transactions just like a regular user while every step of your transaction gets recorded and uploads the steps to the Dotcom-Monitor server for analysis.
It is also important to monitor your site from multiple locations around the world. This gives you a better perspective on site’s web performance and availability worldwide. By monitoring from multiple locations around the globe, you will be able to determine if a problem is localized. Furthermore, you may use the data to optimize networks on which your site hosted.
Besides monitoring downtime, you can also stress test your website as the application simulates up to 3000 concurrent users which run from multiple distributed networks.
Server uptime, customer service and fast loading time will make a big difference today. To learn more about user experience monitoring, web application monitoring, network monitoring, web server monitoring services, and web load stress tests, check out the site.
MIT scientists have created a camera which can capture light as it passes through objects. That translates to an amazing shutter speed of one trillion exposures per second.
Using a modified Streak Tube (normally used to intensify photons into electron streams), the team snapped an image of a laser as it passed through a soda bottle. The ray of light is seen going through the bottle and then dispersing.
This new technology could really change the way we see things around us and gain new understanding. Check out the video below.
