A Google Chrome Tablet and Best Buy Tablet Push Join Holiday Rumors List

2010-09-30T00:58:00.000-07:00

While it's still only summer, a bunch of rivals to theApple iPad are already rumored to be under way for the December holidays, including a Google Chrome OS tablet reportedly in the works at HTC, a possible RocketFish-branded gadget from Best Buy, and models from Acer, Samsung and RIM.
Verizon Wireless is aiming a Chrome OS tablet at release on Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, according to a report in Download Squad. The Download Squad blogger, Lee Matthews, cited an unnamed source as saying that HTC is building the Google tablet.
Matthews also speculated that Google's purported Chrome tablet will be a whole lot cheaper than the iPad -- if not totally free -- with a Verizon data contract, and that it might be based on NVidia's Tegra 2 platform.
Best Buy CTOTweets Tablet Info
Rumors about other tablets stem straight from Best Buy. Best Buy CTO Robert Stephens has twice taken to Twitter to leak information about a possible tablet to be sold under Best Buy's own RocketFish brand. Now there's word from another identified source that Best Buy eyes a "great assortment" of tablets aside from the iPad, which the retail giant already carries.

A couple of weeks back, Stephens tweeted some grainy low res photos of a RocketFish tablet prototype, referring to the subject of the pictures as "proto." In July, he'd tweeted a few features of the possible device: Android OS 2.2, a front-facing camera, and the probable use of Fring for video chats.
Meanwhile, Best Buy is making tablets "a focus" going into the holidays, said Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile, in a recent interview with Forbes. Score didn't mention the RocketFish "proto" and he declined to specify any models at all.
Yet while the tablets Best Buy has in mind "won't be 32" (in number), they also "won't be one, like we have today."
Score also said that, to give customers a choice, Best Buy's "great assortment" of tablets will run on different OS-- including Google Android and Chrome, Microsoft Windows 7, Palm's webOS, RIM BlackBerry, and open source Linux --much like the cell phones Best Buy already sells.
The Forbes blogger, Elizabeth Woyke, also took note that tablets from Samsung, Acer, and RIM are expected to debut in time for the holidays, with another wave of tablets maybe to follow in January.
Best Buy Quiet
Yet if Best Buy does plan to sell iPad rivals, the retailer seems to have largely kept a lid on things until last month, probably because other gadgets were even less ready to go at the time. At a pre-holiday press showcase held in June in New York City, Best Buy spotlighted the iPad, along with iPad accessories like the RocketFish iPad Stand and a lot of iPad cases from Targus.
Best Buy's 2010 Holiday "Look Book" for the media, published shortly afterward, shows only one tablet: the iPad. However, it also contains a blurb about Barnes & Noble's Nook eReader, plus an announcement made in April that Best Buy will feature not just the Nook but "BN eReader software on PCs, netbooks, tablets and smartphones."

Google launching a Chrome OS tablet on Verizon, goes on sale November 26

2010-09-30T00:54:00.000-07:00

592diggsdigg

The title pretty much says it all on this one, folks.

Yes, our source tells us that Google is building a Chrome OS tablet. It's real, and it's being built by HTC. No surprise there, since HTC churned out the Nexus One for Google.

Yes, they plan to offer it in conjunction with Verizon -- which probably doesn't come as a shock to anybody at this point. The two recently tag-teamed that Net Neutrality proposal and they've had plenty of discussions in the past about cooperating in some capacity.

As for the launch date of November 26th, well, that's all kinds of brilliant. It's Black Friday 2010 and the busiest shopping day of the year in the U.S. -- so what better day to have a shiny new tablet in the cabinet at Verizon kiosks and stores all over the country? You can bet Google's Chrome OS tablet will be heavily subsidized, and I'd go so far as to say it will be substantially cheaper than the iPad -- if not totally free -- with a Verizon data contract.

So what will the Google tablet pack for hardware? While our source didn't provide any specifics, my guess is that the device could be based on NVidia's Tegra 2 platform and sport a 1280x720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM, minimum 32GB SSD, WiFi/Bluetooth/LTE connectivity, GPS, webcam, and possibly expandable storage via a multi-card reader. Again, these were not given to us by our source, but expect it to be every bit as geek-tastic as the Nexus One -- Google won't want to disappoint its early adopters.

BlackBerry PlayBook vs iPad vs Galaxy Tab

2010-09-30T00:45:00.000-07:00

The tablet wars heated up Monday with Research in Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook making an impressive debut. Apple, the undisputed leader with its iPad, now faces a challenge from RIM and Samsung and its Galaxy Tab introduced earlier this month. The three competitors each approach the tablet market differently: offering three distinct mobile operating systems, three different target markets, and varying pricing models.
[ Slideshow: A visual guide to the BlackBerry Playbook ]
The 7-inch BlackBerry PlayBook represents a fresh start for RIM. It features a new OS called BlackBerry Tablet OS, (the result of RIM's acquisition of QNX earlier this year), and is packed with hardware goodies. For starters the PlayBook sports a dual-core 1GHz processor (1Ghz single-core on the iPad and Galaxy Tab), and boasts a whopping 1GB RAM (twice as much as the Tab and four times as much as the iPad).
[See how the PlayBook compares to the Galaxy Tab and iPad - click here or on the chart below to expand]
Click to ZoomLike the Galaxy Tab, the PlayBook has two cameras, but with almost double the pixel resolution (5MP back, 3MP front on the PlayBook, 3MP back, 1.3MP front on the Tab). Even better, the PlayBook will be able to record 1080p HD video with the camera on the back, while Apple's iPad has no cameras whatsoever. The HD videos you record with a PlayBook can also be played on an external display via the built-in microHDMI port (Tab can do the same, but only via a separate dock).
High Hopes For New BlackBerry Tablet OS
RIM targets the PlayBook for the corporate folk, but there are plenty of multimedia features to keep consumers happy. The new BlackBerry Tablet OS looks like mashup between the latest BlackBerry OS 6 (found on the new BlackBerry Torch) and Palm's WebOS (now owned by HP), including the cards metaphor used for multitasking.
RIM and Adobe also integrated Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on the PlayBook, as well as Adobe AIR apps. Taking another leaf from Palm's playbook, RIM's upcoming tablet can mirror a BlackBerry phone's data via Bluetooth tethering (anyone remember the Foleo?). RIM now needs to get developers on board to create apps for the PlayBook. New incentives have been added like in-app purchases, as well as access to proprietary APIs for apps like BBIM. Amazon already announced its Kindle reading software for the PlayBook.
Crunch Time: What We Don't Know
RIM has left unanswered a few important ingredients to the PlayBook's success. There is no word on pricing (similar to the Samsung Galaxy Tab pricing dilemma), especially as the device won't have 3G capabilities at first, and no carrier subsidies are in sight. RIM intends to also offer 3G and 4G PlayBooks, but there was no specific time frame.
The BlackBerry maker didn't mention how much storage will come on board of the PlayBook, but reports say the tablets showcased at the launch event had 16GB and 32GB on board. Battery life is also a mystery, and again, unconfirmed reports put this figure at around eight hours, more than the Galaxy Tab, but less than the iPad.
Finally, the availability of the BlackBerry PlayBook is unknown. RIM said it would arrive sometime next year, thus missing on the crucial holiday season this year. However, a Spring 2011 launch can spell trouble for the PlayBook.
Despite superior hardware performance over the iPad right now, Apple is expected to refresh the iPad with cameras, more RAM, and more processing power around the same time as the slated arrival time of the PlayBook. So by the time it arrives, the PlayBook won't have to fight with the current iPad, but with the second generation of Apple's tablet.

iPad vs. Blackberry Tablet PC: Blackberry’s Tablet Will Feature a Fast 1GHz Processor!

iPad vs. Blackberry Tablet PC: Blackberry’s Tablet Will Feature a Fast 1GHz Processor!

Apple iPad vs Blackberry Tablet PC? Nice heads up, right? A tech industry analyst Ashok Kumar has went on record claiming that the upcoming Blackberry Tablet PC is already under final touches by Research In Motion (RIM). Kumar is saying that his source within the company has told him this tablet computer will no longer be a mere companion device for Blackberry phones. It will be a real competitor to the the iPad. The source hinted that as of the moment, the Blackberry tablet project is codenamed Cobalt and its manufacturing blueprint requires it to have a speedy 1GHz processor.

The Upcoming Blackberry Tablet PC is codenamed "Cobalt"

Kumar said this need for a fast CPU is most probably because the Cobalt will have two cameras, one forward-facing and one at the back. This double-camera feature alone makes the Blackberry Cobalt is a better option than the Apple iPad, which lacks any camera. Blackberry officials want to integrate video calling on their first tablet pc product. Perhaps envious of Apple’s big profits on the massive sales record of the iPad, Blackberry has decided to create a full-pledged multimedia Tablet PC in the Cobalt. The speedy processor alone is a strong clue that the Cobalt will be capable of playing 3D video games and HD videos.
Another feature revealed by Kumar is that the Blackberry tablet’s screen will be smaller than the iPad at only 7-inches. But he says this will be multi-touch capable like what the iPad has. Research In Motion has refused to comment on this revelation. But Kumar insists that the Blackberry-maker plans to debut the Blackberry Cobalt this December or at CES 2011 in Las Vegas next year. The Blackberry Tablet PC release date could be on the first quarter of 2012. What do you think? Is Blackberry Tablet PC an actual product in the making or is it just another vaporware?

2010-09-30T00:36:00.000-07:00

What a day -- yesterday, that is. Research in Motion finally announced its long-awaited BlackBerry tablet, the 7-inch PlayBook (thankfully not named the BlackPad). While there's still quite a few missing details, and nary an unit in site for us to try first-hand, we've still got a sampling of specs for this little guy to go tête-à-tête on the quantitative field of proverbial battle, at least as it can be seen so far (that early 2011 release date is still a ways off). Looks very promising so far, lined up against Apple's iPad, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, and the Dell Streak, but our known unknowns -- i.e. price, app support, and overall feel of using the QNX-built operating system -- are what will really make or break the slate.

Samsung Takes on the iPad with 7-inch Galaxy Tab

2010-09-27T22:24:00.000-07:00

Samsung's Galaxy Tab features a 7-inch display, Android 2.2, a 1 GHz Cortex processor, Bluetooth 3.0, and two cameras. Can it take on the Apple iPad?

At this week’s IFA trade show in Berlin, South Korean electronics giant Samsung took the wraps off the Galaxy Tab, its first entry into the consumer tablet market. With the Galaxy Tab, Samsung hopes to extend the success of its Galaxy S line of smartphones to the tablet arena, offering a powerful Android-based device with features designed to take on—and maybe even beat—the Apple iPad. And Samsung plans to launch the device in Europe this month, with launches in the United States, Asia, and Korea following in “coming months.”

“Samsung recognizes the tremendous growth potential in this newly created market and we believe that the Samsung Galaxy Tab brings a unique and open proposition to market,” said Samsung Electronics head of mobile communications J.K. Shin, in a statement. “The Samsung GALAXY Tab has been designed to enable consumers to maximize their online experience wherever that may be.”
The Galaxy Tab is a 7-inch tablet device with a 1,024 by 600-pixel display, running Android 2.2 “Froyo” and Adobe Flash Player 10.1—and the Galaxy Tab will also be DivX-certified, along with being able to handle a wide range of video formats like XviD, MPEG54, H.263, H.264, and more. Under the hood, the Galaxy Tab features a 1 GHz Cortex processor—not the same as the Hummingbird processor in the Galaxy S phones—along with 512 MB of RAM, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, plus a 3 megapixel front-facing camera along with a 1.3 megapixel user-facing camera for video chat—those last two points are big wins over the iPad, which doesn’t offer any camera at all. The Galaxy Tab packs 32 GB of flash storage and a microSD slot for up to 32 GB of additional removable storage.
The Galaxy Tab also features 3G connectivity: initial specs tout quad-band GDSM/EDGE and tri-band 900/1900/2100 7.2Mbps HSDPA. Early reports on the Galaxy Tab had the device coming to Verizon Wireless in the U.S. which—if true—would indicate Samsung is willing to put different 3G gear in the device for the carrier. The HSDPA specs also omit a band used by AT&T in the U.S., so the device might bear different 3G specs if it were to debut on AT&T.
Of course, as an Android device, the Galaxy Tab will be able to tap into the Android market for applications and games. The Galaxy Tab features a gyroscope and accelerometer for gaming.
Samsung has not announced pricing or any carrier partners for the device in the U.S. or in other markets.

Samsung Introduces 7-Inch Tablet to Rival iPad

Samsung Introduces 7-Inch Tablet to Rival iPad

<< Previous | Next >>

View all

After weeks of leaked photos and videos, Samsung’s 7-inch tablet called the Galaxy Tab is finally here. Samsung has announced the launch of the tablet that could become the first major Android-powered challenger to the Apple iPad.
The Galaxy Tab runs Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and has a 7-inch LCD display with a 1024 x 600 resolution. At 0.8 pounds, the device weighs just about half as much as the iPad. It also supports Adobe’s Flash Player 10.1 so it can display web pages that run Flash — something the iPad can’t.
Samsung hasn’t announced a price yet for the Galaxy Tab.
Since Apple launched the iPad in April, almost every major consumer electronics maker has said it is working on a slate of its own. Yet only a few have yet made it to the market.
Earlier this month, Dell launched the Streak, a device with a 5-inch display that has been billed as a tablet but is priced and acts like a phone. Dell plans to introduce more tablets. BlackBerry maker Research In Motion and HP are also reportedly developing tablets. The JooJoo tablet, launched in March by a former partner of TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington, debuted to negative reviews, has not sold well and is embroiled in legal wrangling.
Meanwhile, Apple has sold more than 3 million iPads.
The Galaxy Tab has a smooth, slab-like design that’s similar to the iPad. It packs in a powerful Cortex A8 1.0-GHz processor and supports HD video. The device has a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video telephony over 3G and a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera to capture images and video. It will offer 16 GB or 32 GB of internal storage and will have microSD expansion for up to 32 GB of additional storage.
The Galaxy Tab will support 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, along with push e-mail. It will not offer voice-calling features (except via VoIP apps).

Android OS fills out a smart hardware package

Hold the Galaxy Tab and the first thing that strikes you is how compact the device is. The Galaxy Tab has a smaller screen than the iPad and that translates into a lighter device.
The tablet’s smaller size also makes it easier to hold it in just one hand as you would with an e-reader like the Kindle or the Nook. The 7-inch display means the device is small enough to slip into the pocket of a suit or a purse.
The Galaxy Tab runs Android, an operating system that so far has done best on smartphones.
But Samsung seems to have done a good job of making the Android OS work on the tablet form factor. Samsung has an attractive calendar app for the Galaxy Tab and the e-mail app on the tablet is comparable to that on the iPad.
The Galaxy Tab also includes an e-reading application powered by Kobo — the e-reader sold at Borders. The tablet has a Media Hub for video clips and movies, which Samsung hopes to offer as rentals or downloads that users can buy.
Almost all independent apps in the Android Market will work for the Galaxy Tab, says Samsung. So users can buy the tablet and immediately have apps they can download and play with. But we will have to test this to see if it will work for all apps in the Market.
Samsung plans to launch the device in Europe in mid September, and in the United States and Asia shortly thereafter.

Why is it that when I go to Google Finance in safari on my iPhone browser it does NOT detect that I am on mobile and refresh to THIS fancy new screen? There was a brief moment when it DID display it within the Google App, but it then reverted to the desktop screen. Not sure what you guys are doing, and the new UI looks much better, but it ain't working, that's for sure.; August 25, 2010 8:17 AM.

Katy Perry Red Hot Dress Shows Off Her Curves And Legs In New York

2010-08-26T06:35:00.000-07:00

Here is Katy Perry looking like a fit whore in red outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City on Tuesday afternoon as she visits The Late Show With David Letterman. Look at her rocking that tiny little Herve Leger bandage dress before entering the Ed Sullivan Theater. I think it is safe to say if Katy Perry was a prostitute on the streets of New York in that dress I would certainly inquire on her price at the very least. So apparently Katy Perry did a full concert for David Letterman's audience yesterday. I figured most people would be done with it by the time the interview was over, much less the beginning of the first song. I am just saying Katy should be seen (preferable at a reasonable distance) and not be heard. Click on pictures to enlarge.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Katy Perry (born Kathryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, California, U.S.A.) is an American singer-songwriter. She has risen to prominence with her 2008 single "I Kissed a Girl" which has become a worldwide hit topping the charts in more than 20 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Ireland. In the United States, the song is also noted for being the 1000th chart-topper of the Rock Era. Katy has stated in the press that it's thanks to successful British singer-songwriters Amy winehouse and Lily Allen that America has been introduced to "great music". Perry has a contralto vocal range.

Britney Spears Shows Off Her Bikini Body In Hawaii While On Vacation

2010-08-26T06:29:00.000-07:00

For the last four years I have been hearing that "Britney is coming back!" so here we go again. Britney Spears is on vacation from her rough life, spending a little quality time in a bikini on the beaches of Hawaii. Britney Spears filmed an episode of "Glee" last week, and the week before that she was back in the studio recording tracks for a new album after years of hiatus. So obviously this week it was time to go to Hawaii for a vacation with her boyfriend Jason Trawick. The stress after working for 2 weeks must have been unbearable. She is gonna have a heart attack by 30 if she keeps up this work pace. LOL...
She is looking pretty damn good too don't you think considering the mess she has been the last few years? Britney was in a tiny yellow bikini yesterday soaking up the sun and not at all looking disgusting. I was a little worried about her there for a while. Not her mental health, mind you, I could careless about that shit. I just hate to see hot babes go to hell in a hand basket when they just let themselves go. That is just tragic when that happens. Wait, she is on vacation from what again? Click on pictures to enlarge.

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981 in McComb, Mississippi, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, dancer and occasional actress. She has sold over 83 million records worldwide according to Zomba Label Group. The RIAA ranks her as the eighth best-selling female artist in American music history, having sold 31 million albums in the U.S. Her success as a recording artist has allowed her to work in other media; she has acted in film and television, has written two books, and has been contracted to endorse several products, including her own perfume line.

Emmanuelle Chriqui is the only reason the Entourage show is bearable to watch. And here she is in The Total Package promo photoshoot for Entourage. After an endless series of bikini and lingerie scenes from the show, Emmanuelle has earned her way onto the list of hot bodied female celebrities. Last year AskMen magazine named Emmanuele as the most desirable woman in the world, and the sexy pictures in the latest promotional shoot shows why. Although not entirely revealed, Emmanuelle has shown enough to make us wants to see more. Because as the title say, she is the total package! Click on pictures to enlarge.

Emmanuelle Sophie Anne Chriqui (born December 10, 1977 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian actress who has appeared on both television and the big screen. Her roles on HBO's Entourage as Sloan and Unscripted as herself, along with two appearances on The O.C. as Jodie, have increased her visibility and exposure in the entertainment world.

What Types Of Computer Hardware?

2010-08-26T00:24:00.000-07:00

Nowadays, we live in a world of technology in which the use of computers is essential. Computers can be used for so many activities and purposes that we cannot even imagine not being able to have access to a computer which we might work with. We use computers not only at work and at school but also at home for all sorts of activities which we enjoy doing in our spare time. Computers have been very much improved in the last few years because there have been many changes made to their components. These changes widely influenced the performance of modern computers which users have appreciated more especially because of these improved features included within them. Users are very much interested in always being aware of the latest technology and the changes it brings so that they might also be able to improve their computers and the ways in which they work with them, as well as the results being achieved by using them. In this respect, many users have become more interested in finding out besides the basic notions related to their computers also some details related to what types of computer hardware they can find within their PCs, what functions these components have within their computer system and how they could be improved.

When discussing about what types of computer hardware can be found within a PC it is important to be mentioned the fact that hardware refers to components which can be seen and touched within computers and in this way users should not have any problem with finding and analyzing them. It is also important for users to be aware of the fact that these hardware components are known to be categorized as it follows: input types of components, output components, storage devices, processing components and communicating devices.

These five categories should enable users to understand what types of computer hardware can be found and what are the main functions of these components within a computer before learning more detailed information about each of these components. In this respect, as the names of these categories suggest we can find within a computer components which have input functions, which means that they are used to type certain instructions and information which act as input for the computer system which will have to operate them. Output components are certainly the ones on which the results of this operation of the instructions will be displayed. Storage devices could not deal with anything else than the storage of the necessary data and instructions within the computer system. Processing components are the ones dealing with the processing of the information given by input components in order to display the necessary results on the output type of devices. All of these components are very important within the computer system because they all have their specific roles in determining the performance of the computer system. It is also important for users to become aware of the fact that some of these components are actually essential for the computer system to be able to operate.

When discussing about what types of computer hardware users can identify within their PCs it is important to mention some examples. In this respect, it can be sad that among the hardware components very important are: the monitor, the motherboard, the computer case, the central processing unit, the random access memory, the hard drive, the power supply, the keyboard, the mouse, the printer, the modem, the cables, the chipset, the buses and others. As it can be seen, there are numerous types of hardware components included within a computer. Users should also become familiar with the fact that there are various models of the same hardware components available on the market. In this respect, users should also know that there are certain common hardware components which ca be fund in any computer and that there re also certain specific components which can differ form one computer to another. This type of data might be useful for users in their understanding of the way in which their computer functions in comparison with other computers.

All of these hardware components are very important to be analyzed when discussing about what types of computer hardware are found within a PC and what functions they have within the computer system. For example, the motherboard is known to be very important because it includes many of the hardware components which are essential for the computer system to be able to operate. The central processing unit, one of the components found on the computer motherboard is essential for any computer because it is considered its brain. This is because the central processing unit deals with the main functions of the computer system and with the instructions which need to be operated by this system in order to offer users the opportunity to have the necessary results displayed on their computer screens. The random access memory, which is a storage computer device, is very important because it allows users to access all sorts of data being stored within the computer in a random order that they might choose. It is also important because it represents the main memory within the computer system. Another very important hardware component is the power supply, which gives the necessary power to other hardware components in order for them to function and in this way to enable the computer system to operate.

In any discussion on what types of computer hardware can be found it is important to be mentioned the importance of these components and the fact that good hardware components determine for the computer which includes them to also be a very good quality one. Users have to pay attention to what types of computer hardware they have when they need to work with their computers very much and to obtain good results by working with them. They need to have good input components, good output devices, good processing components and storage devices in order to work easier, better and faster with their computers.

Hardware

2010-08-26T00:20:00.000-07:00

The hardware are the parts of computer itself including the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and related microchips and micro-circuitry, keyboards, monitors, case and drives (hard, CD, DVD, floppy, optical, tape, etc...). Other extra parts called peripheral components or devices include mouse, printers, modems, scanners, digital cameras and cards (sound, colour, video) etc... Together they are often referred to as a personal computer.
Central Processing Unit - Though the term relates to a specific chip or the processor a CPU's performance is determined by the rest of the computer's circuitry and chips.
Currently the Pentium chip or processor, made by Intel, is the most common CPU though there are many other companies that produce processors for personal computers. Examples are the CPU made by Motorola and AMD.

With faster processors the clock speed becomes more important. Compared to some of the first computers which operated at below 30 megahertz (MHz) the Pentium chips began at 75 MHz in the late 1990's. Speeds now exceed 3000+ MHz or 3 gigahertz (GHz) and different chip manufacturers use different measuring standards (check your local computer store for the latest speed). It depends on the circuit board that the chip is housed in, or the motherboard, as to whether you are able to upgrade to a faster chip. The motherboard contains the circuitry and connections that allow the various component to communicate with each other.

Though there were many computers using many different processors previous to this I call the 80286 processor the advent of home computers as these were the processors that made computers available for the average person. Using a processor before the 286 involved learning a proprietary system and software. Most new software are being developed for the newest and fastest processors so it can be difficult to use an older computer system.
Keyboard - The keyboard is used to type information into the computer or input information. There are many different keyboard layouts and sizes with the most common for Latin based languages being the QWERTY layout (named for the first 6 keys). The standard keyboard has 101 keys. Notebooks have embedded keys accessible by special keys or by pressing key combinations (CTRL or Command and P for example). Ergonomically designed keyboards are designed to make typing easier. Hand held devices have various and different keyboard configurations and touch screens.
Some of the keys have a special use. There are referred to as command keys. The 3 most common are the Control or CTRL, Alternate or Alt and the Shift keys though there can be more (the Windows key for example or the Command key). Each key on a standard keyboard has one or two characters. Press the key to get the lower character and hold Shift to get the upper.
Removable Storage and/or Disk Drives - All disks need a drive to get information off - or read - and put information on the disk - or write. Each drive is designed for a specific type of disk whether it is a CD, DVD, hard disk or floppy. Often the term 'disk' and 'drive' are used to describe the same thing but it helps to understand that the disk is the storage device which contains computer files - or software - and the drive is the mechanism that runs the disk.
Digital flash drives work slightly differently as they use memory cards to store information so there are no moving parts. Digital cameras also use Flash memory cards to store information, in this case photographs. Hand held devices use digital drives and many also use memory cards.
Mouse - Most modern computers today are run using a mouse controlled pointer. Generally if the mouse has two buttons the left one is used to select objects and text and the right one is used to access menus. If the mouse has one button (Mac for instance) it controls all the activity and a mouse with a third button can be used by specific software programs.
One type of mouse has a round ball under the bottom of the mouse that rolls and turns two wheels which control the direction of the pointer on the screen. Another type of mouse uses an optical system to track the movement of the mouse. Laptop computers use touch pads, buttons and other devices to control the pointer. Hand helds use a combination of devices to control the pointer, including touch screens.

Note: It is important to clean the mouse periodically, particularly if it becomes sluggish. A ball type mouse has a small circular panel that can be opened, allowing you to remove the ball. Lint can be removed carefully with a tooth pick or tweezers and the ball can be washed with mild detergent. A build up will accumulate on the small wheels in the mouse. Use a small instrument or finger nail to scrape it off taking care not to scratch the wheels. Track balls can be cleaned much like a mouse and touch-pad can be wiped with a clean, damp cloth. An optical mouse can accumulate material from the surface that it is in contact with which can be removed with a finger nail or small instrument.

Monitors - The monitor shows information on the screen when you type. This is called outputting information. When the computer needs more information it will display a message on the screen, usually through a dialog box. Monitors come in many types and sizes. The resolution of the monitor determines the sharpness of the screen. The resolution can be adjusted to control the screen's display..
Most desktop computers use a monitor with a cathode tube or liquid crystal display. Most notebooks use a liquid crystal display monitor.

To get the full benefit of today's software with full colour graphics and animation, computers need a color monitor with a display or graphics card.
Printers - The printer takes the information on your screen and transfers it to paper or a hard copy. There are many different types of printers with various levels of quality. The three basic types of printer are; dot matrix, inkjet, and laser.

Dot matrix printers work like a typewriter transferring ink from a ribbon to paper with a series or 'matrix' of tiny pins.
Ink jet printers work like dot matrix printers but fires a stream of ink from a cartridge directly onto the paper.
Laser printers use the same technology as a photocopier using heat to transfer toner onto paper.

Modem - A modem is used to translate information transferred through telephone lines, cable or line-of-site wireless.
The term stands for modulate and demodulate which changes the signal from digital, which computers use, to analog, which telephones use and then back again. Digital modems transfer digital information directly without changing to analog.
Modems are measured by the speed that the information is transferred. The measuring tool is called the baud rate. Originally modems worked at speeds below 2400 baud but today analog speeds of 56,000 are standard. Cable, wireless or digital subscriber lines can transfer information much faster with rates of 300,000 baud and up.
Modems also use Error Correction which corrects for transmission errors by constantly checking whether the information was received properly or not and Compression which allows for faster data transfer rates. Information is transferred in packets. Each packet is checked for errors and is re-sent if there is an error.
Anyone who has used the Internet has noticed that at times the information travels at different speeds. Depending on the amount of information that is being transferred, the information will arrive at it's destination at different times. The amount of information that can travel through a line is limited. This limit is called bandwidth.
There are many more variables involved in communication technology using computers, much of which is covered in the section on the Internet.
Scanners- Scanners allow you to transfer pictures and photographs to your computer. A scanner 'scans' the image from the top to the bottom, one line at a time and transfers it to the computer as a series of bits or a bitmap. You can then take that image and use it in a paint program, send it out as a fax or print it. With optional Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software you can convert printed documents such as newspaper articles to text that can be used in your word processor. Most scanners use TWAIN software that makes the scanner accessable by other software applications.
Digital cameras allow you to take digital photographs. The images are stored on a memory chip or disk that can be transferred to your computer. Some cameras can also capture sound and video.
Case - The case houses the microchips and circuitry that run the computer. Desktop models usually sit under the monitor and tower models beside. They come in many sizes, including desktop, mini, midi, and full tower. There is usually room inside to expand or add components at a later time. By removing the cover off the case you may find plate covered, empty slots that allow you to add cards. There are various types of slots including IDE, ASI, USB, PCI and Firewire slots.
Depending on the type notebook computers may have room to expand . Most Notebooks also have connections or ports that allows expansion or connection to exterior, peripheral devices such as monitor, portable hard-drives or other devices.
Cards - Cards are components added to computers to increase their capability. When adding a peripheral device make sure that your computer has a slot of the type needed by the device.

Sound cards allow computers to produce sound like music and voice. The older sound cards were 8 bit then 16 bit then 32 bit. Though the human ear can't distinguish the fine difference between sounds produced by the more powerful sound card they allow for more complex music and music production.
Colour cards allow computers to produce colour (with a colour monitor of course). The first colour cards were 2 bit which produced 4 colours [CGA]. It was amazing what could be done with those 4 colours. Next came 4 bit allowing for 16 [EGA and VGA ] colours. Then came 16 bit allowing for 1064 colours and then 24 bit which allows for almost 17 million colours and now 32 bit and higher allow monitors to display almost a billion separate colours.
Video cards allow computers to display video and animation. Some video cards allow computers to display television as well as capture frames from video. A video card with a digital video camera allows computers users to produce live video. A high speed connection is required for effective video transmission.
Network cards allow computers to connect together to communicate with each other. Network cards have connections for cable, thin wire or wireless networks. For more information see the section on Networks.

Cables connect internal components to the Motherboard, which is a board with series of electronic path ways and connections allowing the CPU to communicate with the other components of the computer.
Memory - Memory can be very confusing but is usually one of the easiest pieces of hardware to add to your computer. It is common to confuse chip memory with disk storage. An example of the difference between memory and storage would be the difference between a table where the actual work is done (memory) and a filing cabinet where the finished product is stored (disk). To add a bit more confusion, the computer's hard disk can be used as temporary memory when the program needs more than the chips can provide.
Random Access Memory or RAM is the memory that the computer uses to temporarily store the information as it is being processed. The more information being processed the more RAM the computer needs.
One of the first home computers used 64 kilobytes of RAM memory (Commodore 64). Today's modern computers need a minimum of 64 Mb (recommended 128 Mb or more) to run Windows or OS 10 with modern software.
RAM memory chips come in many different sizes and speeds and can usually be expanded. Older computers came with 512 Kb of memory which could be expanded to a maximum of 640 Kb. In most modern computers the memory can be expanded by adding or replacing the memory chips depending on the processor you have and the type of memory your computer uses. Memory chips range in size from 1 Mb to 4 Gb. As computer technology changes the type of memory changes as well making old memory chips obsolete. Check your computer manual to find out what kind of memory your computer uses before purchasing new memory chips.

Personal computer hardware

Hardware of a modern Personal Computer.

1. Monitor
2. Motherboard
3. CPU
4. RAM
5. Expansion cards
6. Power supply
7. Optical disc drive
8. Hard disk drive
9. Keyboard
10. Mouse

A personal computer is made up of multiple physical components of computer hardware, upon which can be installed an operating system and a multitude of software applications to perform the operator's desired functions.
Though a PC comes in many different forms, a typical personal computer consists of a case or chassis in a tower shape (desktop), containing components such as a motherboard.

[hide]

[edit] Motherboard

Main article: Motherboard

The motherboard is the main component inside the case. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the rest of the parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots.
Components directly attached to the motherboard include:

The central processing unit (CPU) performs most of the calculations which enable a computer to function, and is sometimes referred to as the "brain" of the computer. It is usually cooled by a heat sink and fan.
The chip set mediates communication between the CPU and the other components of the system, including main memory.
RAM (Random Access Memory) stores all running processes (applications) and the current running OS.
The BIOS includes boot firmware and power management. The Basic Input Output System tasks are handled by operating system drivers.
Internal Buses connect the CPU to various internal components and to expansion cards for graphics and sound.
- Current
  - The north bridge memory controller, for RAM and PCI Express
    - PCI Express, for expansion cards such as graphics and physics processors, and high-end network interfaces
  - PCI, for other expansion cards
  - SATA, for disk drives
- Obsolete
  - ATA (superseded by SATA)
  - AGP (superseded by PCI Express)
  - VLB VESA Local Bus (superseded by AGP)
  - ISA (expansion card slot format obsolete in PCs, but still used in industrial computers)
External Bus Controllers support ports for external peripherals. These ports may be controlled directly by the south bridge I/O controller or based on expansion cards attached to the motherboard through the PCI bus.
- USB
- FireWire
- eSATA
- SCSI

[edit] Power supply

Main article: Power supply unit (computer)

Inside a custom-built computer: the power supply at the bottom has its own cooling fan.

A power supply unit (PSU) converts alternating current (AC) electric power to low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Some power supplies have a switch to change between 230 V and 115 V. Other models have automatic sensors that switch input voltage automatically, or are able to accept any voltage between those limits. Power supply units used in computers are nearly always switch mode power supplies (SMPS). The SMPS provides regulated direct current power at the several voltages required by the motherboard and accessories such as disk drives and cooling fans.

[edit] Removable media devices

Main article: Computer storage

CD (compact disc) - the most common type of removable media, suitable for music and data.

- BD-ROM Drive - a device used for reading data from a Blu-ray disc.
- BD Writer - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a Blu-ray disc.
HD DVD - a discontinued competitor to the Blu-ray format.
Floppy disk - an outdated storage device consisting of a thin disk of a flexible magnetic storage medium. Used today mainly for loading RAID drivers.
Iomega Zip drive - an outdated medium-capacity removable disk storage system, first introduced by Iomega in 1994.
USB flash drive - a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB interface, typically small, lightweight, removable, and rewritable. Capacities vary, from hundreds of megabytes (in the same ballpark as CDs) to tens of gigabytes (surpassing, at great expense, Blu-ray discs).
Tape drive - a device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape, used for long term storage and backups.

[edit] Secondary storage

Hardware that keeps data inside the computer for later use and remains persistent even when the computer has no power.

Hard disk - for medium-term storage of data.
Solid-state drive - a device similar to hard disk, but containing no moving parts and stores data in a digital format.
RAID array controller - a device to manage several internal or external hard disks and optionally some peripherals in order to achieve performance or reliability improvement in what is called a RAID array.

[edit] Sound card

Main article: Sound card

Enables the computer to output sound to audio devices, as well as accept input from a microphone. Most modern computers have sound cards built-in to the motherboard, though it is common for a user to install a separate sound card as an upgrade. Most sound cards, either built-in or added, have surround sound capabilities.

[edit] Input and output peripherals

Main article: Peripheral

Input and output devices are typically housed externally to the main computer chassis. The following are either standard or very common to many computer systems.

AVAST

Software Review | Product Description

There's a major concern that's often ignored by PC users - the possibility of a virus damaging or disabling their PC's own antivirus software. Some of today's most powerful viruses take an active stance towards protection, doing their best to eradicate virus protection as they invade ... (continued)

the victim's PC.
Avast! Antivirus 5 protects users from potentially devastating PC viruses by maintaining strong protection not just for user files and data, but for itself as a utility. This protection ensures that viruses are removed quickly and easily, without being given the chance to compromise virus protection and corrupt personal files.
Avast! Antivirus 5 can scan inside archives and compressed files, allowing users to check downloaded ZIP, RAR, and TAR archives before opening. Ideal for preventing 'on-open' malicious scripts and harmful software, this feature saves users from letting unwanted files ever enter their PC. If a harmful file is spotted in an archive, Avast! can neutralize or eliminate the file entirely.
With a simple user interface, Avast! is remarkably easy to control. Features and functions can be modified with a single click of the mouse, and virus scanning, elimination, and quarantine is all performed from a stylish and clear menu interface. For users with limited antivirus experience, Avast! proves one of the most clear and simple tools for maintaining computer security.
Of course, with any antivirus software there is a slight performance hit. While Avast! does use up a reasonable portion of system resources, it runs seamlessly in the background of all modern PCs. Updates are automatically installed without potentially annoying user-controlled prompts, and by and large, users are left to focus on their own tasks, rather than maintain their antivirus application.

Avast! Antivirus 5 Professional Edition: What We Liked

Clean and simple interface allows inexperienced users to control their antivirus software effectively.
Archive scanning prevents users from opening virus-filled .ZIP files, and minimizes the risk of viruses from browser-based downloads and P2P software.
Smooth performance and automatic updates keep Avast! running effectively without bothering users.

Avast! Antivirus 5 Professional Edition: What We Didn't Like

Occasional problems with SSL email scanning can cause false negatives and leave potentially dangerous files unchecked.

ALWIL Support

free edition 9, you already get faster scan and boot times compared to previous versions, obvious antivirus protection, a LinkScanner, e-mail scanning and the new feature of the Identity Theft Recovery Unit. Being a smaller application, the free edition does not feature such a wide range of tools or utilities as AVG Antivirus 9, however it makes up for it by offering neat, effective protection which stays silently minimized in your system tray and only activates when needed.
In contrast, the complete AVG Antivirus 9 protects you from hackers, phishing scams, adware, and malware (worms, Trojans, and rootkits) that can come through email or instant messaging. It has a firewall and even scans outbound emails to make sure you don't accidentally pass a virus along to others. It's an adequately effective system and you shouldn't notice any major lag or slowdown from the software, especially if you schedule the intensive scans to run while the system is otherwise idle.
There are two main features that make AVG Antivirus 9 stand out in a crowd: the LinkScanner and the Identity Theft Recovery Unit. Only a few of the current antivirus solutions include integrated internet browser link-scanning and AVG's LinkScanner is beneficial because it helps determine the safety of links displayed whilst browsing online on a search engine.
The other unique feature is AVG's cooperation with Identity Guard to offer identity theft protection; so if your personal information is compromised, Identity Guard will help you recover and restore your identity (online and off).

AVG Antivirus 9: What we liked

The interface is nearly unchanged from their previous version, and generally it's easy to use.
For the most part, it is an install-and-forget security solution that won't obviously tax your system when scanning or when running in the background.
It has unique features like the Identity theft recovery unit and LinkScanner.
Regular definition updates are checked for automatically, and can be set to perform every hour (every 4 hours is the default).

AVG Antivirus 9: What we didn't like

A dynamic status bar/progress meter for regular scans would be useful.
When compared to higher priced competition, AVG is not the fastest or the most effective. It was one of the slower security solutions tested by AV Comparatives, showing only 6.8MB/sec scanning (compared to 17MB/sec from Norton and Avast).

AVG Antivirus 9 Support

There is no phone support, however the online help centre has the usual FAQ section and knowledgebase, and AVG also offers email support.

Orlando Bloom finally popped the question on Miranda Kerr and now she’s sporting an amazingly huge and expensive engagement ring!
We got our first glimpse of the rock when Kerr was out in Hollywood this week. It’s an oval diamond set on a white gold or platinum band. It has an estimated 3-4 carats and could run as high as $65,000. Wow! Gorgeous ring, I would be so worried about losing it or getting mugged!
Congrats again to the happy couple!

Aluminum unibody enclosure, advanced longer-lasting battery, brilliant LED-backlit display.
MacBook Pro has been precision engineered down to the smallest detail.

Precision aluminum. The new gold standard.

Carved from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro is a true engineering achievement. Its patented unibody enclosure is the product of precise machining. From the thumbscoop to the now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t sleep indicator, no detail is unaccounted for. The end result is a notebook that’s not only breakthrough, but thin, light, polished, and refined. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. So you can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, at school, at the office, or on location without a second thought.

Unibody Enclosure

Every MacBook Pro starts life as a single piece of aluminum. Watch the video

The New MacBook Pro

Watch again>

The longest-lasting Mac notebook battery ever.

The new energy-efficient architecture in every MacBook Pro, along with automatic graphics switching in the 15- and 17-inch models, gives you dramatically longer battery life. On a single charge, the battery in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro lasts up to 10 hours (8 to 9 hours on the 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro).¹ And you’ll get up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles — that’s nearly three times the lifespan of typical notebook batteries.² Advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging allow the battery to maintain charging capabilities longer and determine the optimal way to charge the battery’s cells. Because the battery lasts up to five years, MacBook Pro uses just one battery in the same time a typical notebook uses three. That makes for less waste. And that, in turn, makes for one environmentally friendly battery. Learn more about the battery

Powerful graphics, two ways.

MacBook Pro gives you more options for high-performance graphics, starting with the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M integrated graphics processor in the 13-inch model. It’s up to 80 percent faster than the previous generation and is even more energy-efficient for everyday tasks like writing email and surfing the web.³
The new 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro models give you even more power for graphics-intensive 3D games and pro applications, and longer battery life for everyday tasks like checking email or surfing the web. Depending on which application you’re running, these models automatically switch between the blazingly fast discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M processor and power-efficient integrated Intel HD Graphics. So you don’t have to compromise performance for battery life — and vice versa. Learn more about graphics on MacBook Pro

A display of brilliance.

Every MacBook Pro has a pristine LED-backlit display with wide-angle viewing and a color gamut usually seen only on a desktop display. So whether you’re watching a movie or making one, you’ve got the perfect canvas. The ultrathin, seamless glass enclosure makes the display strong and durable. And because it’s power efficient and free of mercury and arsenic, this display is greener than ever. Ready for something even more brilliant? The 15-inch model is now available with a high-resolution 1680-by-1050 glossy or antiglare screen that gives you 36 percent more pixels.

Even the keyboard is advanced.

The rigid aluminum keyboard webbing has been cut precisely to hold the keys. And the keys are curved to perfectly fit fingers. The result? Pure typing bliss. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you’re in low-light settings, such as airplanes or conference rooms, you can always see what you’re typing.

Backlit Keyboard

An ambient light sensor activates the illuminated keyboard in low-light conditions. See it in action

It all just clicks.

The first thing you might notice — or not notice — about the MacBook Pro trackpad is the button. The entire trackpad is the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, the spacious trackpad gives your hands plenty of room to move on the large, silky glass surface. Use two fingers to scroll smoothly up and down a page with inertial scrolling. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you’re coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use the Multi-Touch trackpad, the more you’ll wonder what you ever did without it.

Multi-Touch Trackpad

Execute gestures on a spacious and smooth Multi-Touch trackpad that’s also the button. See it in action

Everything fits.

Each MacBook Pro comes standard with a large hard drive offering up to 500GB of storage capacity,⁴ so there’s plenty of room for your photo libraries, video projects, and files. Or, for enhanced durability, you can order a solid-state drive with no moving parts. Choose 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB. MacBook Pro also features ample high-speed 1066MHz DDR3 memory, with support for up to 8GB of RAM, so you can run more applications at once and quickly access your data and media. Configure your MacBook Pro now at the Apple Online Store

Nothing but speed. And more speed.

The MacBook Pro lineup starts with advanced Intel Core 2 Duo processors running at up to 2.66GHz. And things only get faster from there. The 15- and 17-inch models now feature the latest Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors — the fastest dual-core processors on the market — which reach Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.33GHz. With up to 4MB of shared L2 or L3 cache, MacBook Pro runs applications up to 50 percent faster than before.⁵

Ports with possibilities.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro is iPod, iPhone, digital camera, and external hard drive ready. If it has a cable, there’s a place for it. You’ll find two USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire 800 port for connecting faster peripherals.

Mini DisplayPort.

The Mini DisplayPort delivers a pure digital connection to external displays — even large 30-inch displays — quickly and easily. It gives you plug-and-play performance with the Apple LED Cinema Display and supports VGA and DVI, as well as the latest multimedia standards such as DisplayPort and HDMI.⁶

From camera to computer.
In an instant.

Transfer your photos and videos to and from your MacBook Pro just as fast as you’re able to take them. Built into the 15-inch MacBook Pro is an SD card slot, so you can edit and share your photos and digital video on the spot.

Your studio to go.

With the latest 802.11n wireless technology built into MacBook Pro, you’re always seamlessly and effortlessly connected to the wireless world out there, at home, and at work.⁷ MacBook Pro automatically finds available networks and allows you to join them with just one click. Bluetooth wireless technology is also built in, so brilliant accessories can become your wireless accomplices. With a built-in battery that lasts longer than ever before, you can do everything you need to do, where you need to do it.

Burn DVDs superfast.

After editing and applying the finishing touches to your home movie masterpiece in iMovie and iDVD, use the ultrafast 8x SuperDrive on your MacBook Pro to burn it to DVD. And because the SuperDrive also writes to double-layer discs (DVDs with nearly 9GB of space), it’s great for backing up data.

Be everywhere at once.

Cleverly integrated — almost hidden — at the top of the MacBook Pro display is an iSight camera. Use it with iChat, and you can be anywhere without actually being there. Video chat with up to three of your friends, share a video with a colleague, or present to a client.⁸ Use iSight with Photo Booth for fun photo effects. And there’s no need to waste valuable primping time installing software or configuring the camera. Like everything Mac, iSight just works.

World Cup 2010: Spain return to rapturous welcome

2010-08-24T21:09:00.000-07:00

The Spanish team paraded through a sea of fans in Madrid

Spain's victorious World Cup squad have returned to Madrid amid scenes of joyous celebration in the capital city.

An estimated one million people lined a five-mile route in the Spanish capital as the team paraded in an open-top bus.

Captain Iker Casillas had earlier carried the trophy down the steps of the plane as the squad made a triumphant return from South Africa.

The players then went on to meet Spain's royal family and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

And the celebrations concluded with the bus parade that snaked through the heart of Madrid,as firefighters hosed down fans sweltering in 40C temperatures and Spanish air force fighter jets flew overhead trailing the colours of the national flag.

Click to play

The Spanish World Cup squad were greeted by King Juan Carlos

The parade came to a halt at the esplanade near the Puente del Rey, where the festivities continued.
European champions Spain won the World Cup for the first time thanks to Andres Iniesta's extra-time winner against the Netherlands in Johannesburg on Sunday.
During the celebrations on Monday night, some team-mates forced Cesc Fabregas to briefly wear a Barcelona shirt as they stood on stage in front of supporters.

Reina and Puyol put a Barcelona shirt on Fabregas

The Barcelona defenders grabbed the Arsenal midfielder, who has been linked with a return to the Nou Camp where he played as a teenager, and managed to pull the shirt over his head.

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos and Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina had been at the centre of the players' celebrations on the team bus as the parade inched its way down Madrid's Gran Via.

Once the whole 23-man squad plus the coaching and backroom staff made their way onto the stage, various members of the party spoke to the assembled supporters.

Coach Vicente del Bosque said at a brief presentation: "This cup, this triumph is for all of you, and for the whole Spanish football factory."

Casillas, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, said: "I don't know what to say, only that I'm delighted to be here with you. We (the players) have achieved the dream that we've all had since we were small."

Coach Del Bosque added: "It's not only winning but how you win, and that's what these players have done, they are an example to all.

"Thanks for all the support you've sent to us in South Africa, you are also world champions."

Iniesta held a toy octopus in reference to Paul, the sea creature based in a German aquarium made famous for correctly predicting winning teams during the World Cup, including Spain in the final.

"Thanks to the octopus we are champions," he joked.

The gifted playmaker added: "I only want to say that you should be proud of this group. They're the best. I'm very proud to be part of them."

Many fans made the trip to Madrid's Barajas Airport to greet the returning heroes.

The flight landed at 1338 local time with Spanish flags flying from the cockpit windows and two fire engines making a guard of honour with their jet streams.

The plane was emblazoned with the words 'Campeones' (Champions) and 'Orgullosos de nuestra seleccion' (Proud of our squad).

Casillas, who was in floods of tears after the final whistle at the Soccer City Stadium on Sunday night, again appeared to be on the verge of crying as he led his team across the tarmac to a waiting coach.

They were taken to a nearby hotel to eat and rest before heading to the Royal Palace for a reception with the Spanish royal family.

King Juan Carlos was accompanied by his wife, Queen Sofia, his eldest daughter, Princess Elena, and his son Prince Felipe and his wife Letizia.

"Thank you champions, in the name of all of Spain and all Spaniards," he said after personally greeting each of the players.

"This is a well deserved victory for an exceptional team which thrilled the hearts of all Spaniards. You brought together all Spaniards, made our dreams a reality and projected the name of Spain around the world."

Spanish commentary of Iniesta's goal

The squad then moved on to the Moncloa Palace to be greeted by Prime Minister Zapatero, who singled out match-winner Iniesta for special praise.

Immediately after scoring the winning goal, the 26-year-old had taken off his Spain shirt to reveal a white T-shirt bearing the message: "Dani Jarque: always with us".

Jarque collapsed and died at the age of 26 in August 2009 following a training session with his Espanyol team.

"He represents like no-one else good football and human qualities," Zapatero said of Iniesta. "I want to make a special mention of somebody who yesterday remembered someone who is no longer with us when he scored the winning goal.

"There is no better role model for our youths, given his talent and personal qualities. Thank you Iniesta for remembering Dani yesterday during an unforgettable day for Spain."

While the celebrations continued across Spain, the Dutch team were also given special treatment as they returned home on Monday and were escorted through Dutch airspace by two fighter jets, one of them orange.

The squad met Queen Beatrix at her palace in The Hague in the morning, followed by a boat tour through Amsterdam's canals and a party in the city's Museum Square.

"It's a little bit strange to stand here now, we haven't quite overcome the disappointment yet," said coach Bert van Marwijk.
