Cycrone V600 PC Client Review

2011-10-30T17:35:00.000-07:00

With the help of the DOM kits, older PCs can be utilized as a powerful client.

A company that uses many PCs certainly trying to minimize expenses without compromising quality. The goal, to improve the performance of its employees.

One post is quite burdensome funds are usually located on the old computer upgrade that requires no little cost. Understand it, outdated PC is arguably less feasible to work with new applications.

Well, now appear an inexpensive solution that can be applied in order to save computer upgrade expenses. How, by using thin-client devices.

Cycrone V600 is a thin-client device in the form of mini-computers that use another PC (which functioned as a server) to work. In this system, the ability of a server will be shared by all clients are connected. In this way, the old components in the client will be replaced by the kitchen runway, more powerful server.

Cycrone itself only contains the mainboard, processor, memory and old tech. We just need to plug a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to be able to use this product.

Interestingly, the V600 Cycrone units embedded DOM (Disk On Module) size of a matchbox. Dom is a 256 MB flash drive for storing the Linux operating system. This operating system will connect the client to the server via a series of easy configuration. On the server application is also provided to perform the connection process. Dom is itself connected to a PC client on the IDE connection and can be used in a variety of older PCs that are still providing this connection. In this way, older computers do not need to be upgraded or sold to be able to build a network.

Cycrone unit V600 embedded DOM actually offered if you do not already have a computer. If you have, you only need to buy just for the DOM units plugged into the computer to be connected to the server. With this system, a server can be accessed by approximately 60-100 users.

Intel offers high-speed interconnect technology called the Thunderbolt. Transfer speed two times faster than USB 3.0 (Super Speed USB).

The manufacturing device is ready to use Thunderbolt on its products to be released next year. Now the new Apple already uses Thunderbolt on MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and a series of other Apple products.

Thunderbolt 10Gbps transfer speed, compared with a 5Gbps USB 3.0. Thunderbolt 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. Thunderbolt provides 10 watts of power to a device that is connected to this port, while USB 3.0 is only 4.5 watts.

High velocity, Thunderbolt supports high-speed storage devices such as RAID arrays, HD displays, PCIe expansion box for laptops, and other applications that require high speed.

Thunderbolt supports two protocols, namely PCI Express and Display Port. Various devices that use one of these protocol can be connected to the port of Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt connector has a full-duplex channel, each of which is bi-directional. As well as USB, Thunderbolt devices can be strung together(daisy-chain) up to 7 devices.

Will USB replace Thunderbolt? Thunderbolt does have twice the performance than the Super Speed USB (3.0), but USB has now become the standard interconnect, which is not only used on the PC. According to Intel, which is also one of the USB developers, Thunderbolt is the complement of USB.

So it seems Thunderbolt will co-exist with USB, as well as on Apple’s MacBook Pro now, at least for the next few years. So on? Only time will tell. And it all depends on both technology development and support of manufacturing devices.

History of Computers 64-bit

2011-09-05T09:50:00.000-07:00

More recently, Windows 7 has managed to increase the popularity of 64-bit computing, even to home users, but most of them do not understand what exactly the purpose is and usefulness of 64-bit is even possible that there are not yet aware that they have used it.

What is 64-bit? In the context of discussions about the personal computer 32-bit and 64-bit, the format XX-bit registers refer to the CPU. Register here is the amount of storage used by the CPU when the CPU is storing data. It is necessary to speed up data access so that the optimum performance from your computer. So if it is based on the magnitude of these registers, the CPU with 64-bit registers can process more data than 32-bit CPU that is faster than CPU 16-bit and 8-bit. The more space available in the system registers the CPU, the more also the process that can handle, especially in terms of system memory. For example, a CPU with 32-bit registers will have been ceiling of 232 addresses in registers, so the access speed is as well limited to 4GB of RAM. It will look great once if we apply in the age of 40 years ago, but not if applied to today's modern computers.

Although 64-bit computer looks new in the technology world, but in fact, has existed since a few years ago. The first computer that uses 64-bit architecture is the Cray UNICOS, which gives a chance to be used as the 64-bit supercomputer (Cray 1 can be seen in the image above that the middle). 64-bit computers are expected to be crowded into a super computer or a server computer for up to 15 more years, and during that time, consumers are gradually switching to 64-bit computer, when, in fact, many of those already using it. For example, in the image above, Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 2 which has the 64-bit processor. In the 2000s, people puzzled by the 64-bit version. Why use 64-bit version, while very little driver support. In 2001, then Microsoft released Windows XP 64-bit Edition, but still with a limited driver support. The next year, OS X Panther and Linux Distributions start making CPUs that support 64-bit in some capacity. Over the past 5 years, Mac OS X has not been fully able to support 64-bit with the release of OS X Leopard. Then, Microsoft made support 64-bit version of Windows Vista with her, but still, very poor driver support, until finally out of Windows 7 that can popularize the 64-bit computers to the home user.

There are several ways to check whether the computer can run 64-bit OS. To figure out what OS is being used computers, Windows 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, it is easy just by right-clicking computer existing programs on the Start menu, then select Properties. The move will take us to the System Properties menu, and we can see the OS version on the System type.

If you are using Windows XP, we can examine it in the same way, but it may be good to upgrade it to Windows XP 64-bit. The most important step we can do with computer XP (or Vista / Windows 7 32-bit) processor is to test us whether it is possible to upgrade it to 64-bit version.

To test this, you can use a free application from Steve Gibson that is securable. As seen in the image above, securable processor will test the 3 variables. The first, securable will test the processor itself, if indeed 64-bit version or not. Second, it will test whether the chip support to DEP, which is a security system designed to protect machines from attack "unchecked buffer ". Last, will tell whether a computer can process virtualization agan2 Windows XP under Windows 7. If there are less obvious, agan2 can click on each result of the securable to see more details.

Dell Vostro 3400 - Review

2011-09-05T08:06:00.000-07:00

This product is a mid-end model with a specification that can customize according to user needs. In addition to Lenovo and HP, Dell became the producer who is also aggressively penetrating the corporate market with a very varied product. For the SME or SMB, we know the series as one of the mainstays of Dell's Vostro is present in many versions.

Vostro 3000 series are proven to have many versions of the difference lies in the main components such as processors, display, storage, and graphics chips. Vostro 3400 itself is available in a choice of Intel Core and Core-i3-i5 with the alternative between the Intel, HD graphics and the GeForce 310M. This is intentional Dell that consumers can decide for you, which are suitable for running their business activities. Clearly, this series uses a 14 "is more ideal to open a spreadsheet application or play a movie than using a 13.3."

Design Vostro 3400 was impressed by the formal but still attractive curves and body parts that seem modern. When the cover opened the screen, you will see the layout of the keyboard, and touch pad are conventional but are actually a touch that makes it stiff. Dell's also adding amenities typical fingerprint found on business notebooks.

Although intended for business users, multimedia facilities are also included Dell via the existence of a multimedia shortcut at the top of the keyboard. These shortcuts can be accessed with a stylish touch.

Connectivity Support in the Vostro 3400 is quite complete, including ExpressCard. This makes this product suitable for business users who want all ready to connect. Even a slot for a SIM card that utilizes cellular data connection lines also has been prepared in the battery compartment (although this facility counted optional).

One thing odd is the use of 3 GB of main memory. The amount of RAM is composed of a piece of 2 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 1 GB DDR3 RAM chip. Generally, the notebook contains RAM 2 GB, 4 GB, and so on that is not an even multiple, Maybe this composition is one trick to make the Dell Vostro 3400 is more competitive prices.

Aware that its hardware specs is similar to products of competitors, Dell does not forget the support of the application and after-sales service. In terms of applications, they provide support for backing up data, accessing multi-touch gesture, creative programs with a webcam, and set the security of the DigitalPersona fingerprint.

Although sometimes users are less concerned with this application, we advise you to learn it. The reason is, will the many benefits that you never expected.

However, Dell Vostroo 3400 was sufficient as a business notebook that preferred the complete facilities and support applications to support readiness. The combination of specs and features offered by Dell Vostro 3400 makes mid-end notebooks are ideal for the businessman.

Motorola Mobility will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. Google will run Motorola Mobility as a separate business.

In a blog post, Google co-founder and CEO Larry Page writes that Google has acquired Motorola not only because of its strength in Android smartphones and devices, but also for being a “market leader in the home devices and video solutions business.”
It’s also a move to build up the company’s patent portfolio, he adds, as it will “enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies”.
According to Motorola Mobility’s website, the company holds approximately 14,600 granted patents and 6,700 pending patent applications, worldwide, as of January 2011. Update: You can find updated numbers on this – based on the conference call – in our follow-up post.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 Blocked Sales In Europe

2011-08-10T09:29:00.000-07:00

Galaxy Tab 10.1, which was launched in the UK and other parts of Europe last week could be to look pulled from the shelves soon, and not buyers. Recent decisions of the Court by a German court granted a preliminary injunction against Apple Galaxy Tab 10.1 and stop sales and marketing at a time. The loss of 10.1 was the best selling tablet ever made in Europe when it launched in connection with all the tablets except second iPad

Apple said the online Galaxy Samsung smartphones and tablets copy Apple design - including packaging and accessories. A judge in Düsseldorf agree that Samsung copied Galaxy 10.1 parts of IPAD and so the device will be removed from store shelves in Europe.

Anyway, Samsung has responded to the injunction, promising to "take immediate action to defend our intellectual property rights through the ongoing litigation in Germany and will continue to actively defend human rights around the world . Take all necessary measures to ensure innovative Samsung mobile communication devices are available to customers in Europe and the world. "

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

2011-08-09T07:54:00.000-07:00

Samsung really swift GT 10.1 is working on the design. But when the iPad 2 appeared a month later with supertipis design, the Samsung GT directly redesigning 10.1 is to be able to compete with the design of the iPad 2. GT 10/01 capable of competing with the iPad in the matter of thinness. Even the official specs show 10.1 GT 0.2mm thinner than the iPad 2, much less than its competitors in the segment Android tablet, such as Acer and Asus Iconia Transformer

Another impression when tested GT 10.1 is the design that feels wide. This is due to screen size of 10.1 inches has a 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen alias. The weight of the device itself is about 565 grams, or lighter than the iPad 2. The weight that makes the GT feels comfortable 10.1-held, including when we read it while sleeping. The width of this device because it seems to also affect the weight distribution was more spread out in 10.1 is SGT.

Poor Connector

There are only two connectors are available: one for docking, one for audio-out. There is no memory slot to add storage capacity or the USB port as provided Asus Transformer. There is not even an HDMI connector which is actually a standard facility Nvidia Tegra processor 2 which used this tablet. The absence of all the connectors are somewhat disappointing because it reduces the ability of these tablets.

On its website, providing Samsung Bluetooth-based keyboard as a complementary facility 10.1 is SGT. But from our observations, it is unclear whether there is a memory slot or USB keyboard. If it does not exist, the lack of flexibility will be the biggest shortage SGT 10.1.

Simply Green Video

These tablets do not have problems when playing AVI and H.264 video format with full-HD resolution. Especially for H.264, there are separate records. That can be played is a video that is formatted with the Baseline profile, while the Main profile can not. However, it is fairly reasonable since all the tablet-based Tegra 2 can not play videos with H.264 Main profile.

As for the popular formats such as MKV, the tablet is somewhat difficult. Video can be played, but the video looks and sounds out of sync.

Software and Interfaces

SGT Tablet 10.1 is already using the Android version 3.1-the latest version is touted to solve various problems in version 3.0.

In terms of interface, the main screen of the tablet is filled with large-sized widgets, which reminds us a little more with Windows Phone. The size of the widget itself can set the amount, which is one of the changes that Google did in Android 3.1.

Other improvements promised by Google's Android 3.1 is on the side responsitivitas. Screen and the menu feels smooth flowing SGT 10.1, as well as when running an application.

Android at Majority of Smartphone Market

2011-08-09T05:22:00.000-07:00

Android, which Google acquired in 2005 and was launched in 2008 as an open source platform, has been used by almost all leading mobile phone makers, like HTC, LG, Motorola, and Samsung. If accumulated, nearly half of world production is now using the Android smartphones.

Based on data from the research institute Canalys, Android market share has reached 48 percent of the overall smartphone market in the world. The research found that the Android market share in 35 countries of 56 countries surveyed. In comparison, Apple's IOS platform in the second had only 19 percent market share by selling 20.3 million units of iPhone.

Starting this quarter Samsung managed to overtake Nokia who for years held the top ranking of smartphone manufacturers. Today, the largest smartphone manufacturer is held by Apple, followed by Samsung and Nokia. However, Canalys said, handset makers from South Korea should be able to do it better.

"Samsung failed to capitalize on weaknesses of Nokia," said Chris Jones, Canalys analysts. According to him, this time to grow and take advantage of global scale, especially in emerging markets. Samsung, which sells Android smartphone with Bada homemade device, has sold about 17 million devices, up 421 percent compared to last year.

However, success Android comes with a problem for Google and its vendors. After Oracle sued last year, Google is now starting trouble with Apple and Microsoft, which claims patents from Nortel. Microsoft, whose presence alone in only 1 percent of the smartphone market, has made a deal with some of the Android handset makers, and makes the problem more complicated.

Last month, Apple, Microsoft, and BlackBerry maker, RIM, in collaboration with three other companies to beat Google in an auction for a wireless company Nortel patents so that the auction value is greater than that offered by Google. The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Justice Department intensified its investigation into whether Apple, Microsoft, and RIM could use the acquisition of a patent for a balanced competition with Google's Android software.

Affected by the failure to obtain patent Nortel, Google plans to hold talks to buy U.S. wireless chip company, Interdigital. It aims to increase its patent portfolio. Interdigital, which has a market value of 3.11 billion U.S. dollars this year, an increase of 395 million U.S. dollars in 2010, said earlier this week is a time to evaluate the strategic, including the possible sale of the company or patent.

Tips to Optimization Windows 7

2011-08-09T04:19:00.000-07:00

Optimization of Windows 7 it is important to improve the performance of your Windows 7. Guidelines given below will make your Windows work more efficiently and quickly, improve performance and system performance Windows Seven on your PC / Laptop / Notebook. Tip optimization of Windows 7 is divided into 2 parts. The first section will show you step-by-step guide to simple optimization, can be a layman. The second part of the optimization tips Windows 7 requires more knowledge.

Here are the steps Optimization Tips Windows 7 first part:

1. Remove the program or software that you never use

Computer or laptop is often already equipped with a variety of programs that can not be used, such as programs trial versions or limited versions that deliberately installed into the computer for you to try and if you like, you can buy it. If you do not like it, just delete this kind of software. Because the software will take your resources, both on disk and memory.

Note also the applications that you never use. We may be used to allow some programs we've ever installed in the past, but probably never use it again. Search this kind of application and uninstall it.

Also check the antivirus application, backup, CD reader, and others. Such applications are usually called at startup. If you do not need it should be deleted.

Go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs, uninstall programs you do not use.

2. Limit the program to be called during boot / startup

Some developers make their programs are called at startup, so we remember to use it. But often these programs may not be useful for you. See the icon at the bottom right next to the clock, whatever the application program is there? Do you need it? If not, find the setting so that the program was not called at startup.

Courses are generally called at startup, among others:

- Messenger (YM, MSN, Skype)

- Antivirus

- Application of the touchpad (for laptop / notebook)

- Application of scheduled automatic (update, backup, defrag, etc.)

Find the settings in those programs that are not called at startup of windows. Or press to: start -> type 'msconfig' in the search, click the tab 'Startup', uncheck the programs you want to get rid of the Startup.

3. Defragment Hard Drive

If you frequently install or remove programs, or move files / folders are large, then the hard drive will leave a small portion of the program and it can spread everywhere in the disk. Consequently when we call a certain file or program, working extra hard drive to find files or programs are needed. This situation is called the 'fragmented' or fragmentation.

Fragmentation on the hard drive makes the computer work harder, because the hard disk looking for data / files / programs in scattered locations. The solution, do defragm periodically so hard you work more efficiently. Press Start -> type in 'Disk Defragmenter' in the search.

4. Clean up hard drive

The files need a lot of unused hard disk and can make your laptop / computer becomes slow. Remove the files in the recycle bin, temporary internet cache folder and browsers.

5. Avoid running multiple programs at the same time

If you do not really need to, run fewer applications simultaneously. Applications that run together (multitasking) would be more resource consuming.

6. Turn off visual effects

If Windows 7 feels slow, you can turn off some visual effects. You must choose a good view or speed. If the computer / notebook is equipped with a fast processor and large memory, then you do not need to do this. But if you are not satisfied with the performance of your computer, here's how to turn off visual effects:

- Open Performance Information and Tools in a way, tap Start - Control Panel, in the search box (search box) input Performance Information and Tools, and select the Performance Information and Tools from search results

- Select Adjust visual effects, click the Visual Effects tab, and click Adjust for best performance and then click OK. Or you can select Let Windows choose what's best for my computer, so looks are not too down drastically.

7. Restart

If you rarely turn off your computer / notebook, doing restart periodically. Some people prefer to turn off the laptop via hibernate or standby, so if you want to use it again, a laptop can be turned on more quickly. But how it will accumulate the data in memory, so the laptop more and more, feels slow. If you belong to this group, doing restart more often.

8. Check for viruses and spyware

Viruses and spyware are often also causes the computer feels slow, because of viruses and spyware are usually invoked at boot time and stay in memory. Even some of the virus accidentally meets your memory and slows. Use antivirus and antispyware to scan your computer.

Despite having a very small form, Asus USB-N10 is proven to have a feature that is quite promising. Inside his tiny body was found two antennas that look very small. Even so, despite the size of a small antenna, its range was pretty good.

To determine its performance, we tried a USB wireless adapter to test this by connecting to a wireless access point. Asus USB-N10 The result of this performance is quite responsive and fast although the overall speed is still dependent on the wireless access point is connected. comprehension is also quite good.

When we tried connecting with a wireless router who is located some distance away and quite unobstructed, USB wireless adapter is still able to catch the signal properly. Enough to be our concern is, when used in a long time, the wireless adapter is generating enough heat felt. Nevertheless, this seems understandable considering its very small.

Wireless USB adapter Asus USB-N10 is promising to save enough power behind its so small. Compatibility with wireless devices also includes good. The form is small besides makes it easy to store anywhere.

Fujitsu Lifebook LH531

2011-08-06T12:27:00.000-07:00

Fujitsu presents Lifebook line of notebook computing LH series that offers a flexible and modern. Comes with two types of LH530 (based on the Intel Core series-i first-generation) and LH531 (with Intel Sandy Bridge).

Lifebook LH531 is present in our lab using an Intel Core I3-2310M with a speed of 2.1 GHz. These processors can be upgraded to Intel Core i5 that has Turbo Boost function. Memory capacity can be increased up to 8 GB though LH531 only provides 2 GB of RAM.

Fujitsu Lifebook LH531 adopted two chips to meet the needs of graphics known as hybrid mode (hybrid). Use of this hybrid graphics instead of working together in order to get more performance, but work separately. If you use a light applications such as Internet or typing, onboard Intel graphics chip that works. Meanwhile, if the process is more complex graphics calculations, the system will automatically use the nVidia chip.

However, not many expect a lot when running heavy applications like the latest games. The reason, nVidia GF 410M graphics chip is only suitable for running various games with low resolution. However, nVidia GF 410M chip performance remains better than the Intel chip HD3000. In addition the hybrid objective is to conserve battery life and processor. Because the computational process will be transferred to the graphics chip rather than to the processor.

Looks like Fujitsu Lifebook LH531 intended for serious users. This is reflected not support the inclusion of multimedia features. With the absence of the facility, the notebook is more appropriate to work even if the user also be able to play various multimedia files.

Just look at the area around the keyboard that has no shortcut buttons at all. The area above the keyboard appear plain, decorated only speakers on the left and right as well as a large power button is easily pressed. Various features which are quite standard, without proper eSATA and FireWire ports. Luckily still provided an HDMI port for connecting to high-definition digital screens.

Based on test results, the use of graphics chips Nvidia GF 410M indeed produce better performance. This we conclude, after comparing this product with the Acer Aspire 4750 which has the same specs (except the nVidia graphics chip not included). In addition test results show the battery life more efficient while actively running the nVidia chip high-definition video content.

The advantage gained for user of graphics chips from nVidia looks better increase in performance and battery power becomes more economical. Although serious memorable because without the necessary multimedia features, specifications offered are able to meet your computing needs in full.

Add on graphics chip indeed capable of improving the performance of the graphics. In addition, the uses of batteries are also more economical, especially when such as playing games or playing high-definition video.

Spill-Resistant Keyboard writings affirm that this area can withstand water spills from reaching into the components inside. This device is not equipped with quick access multimedia keys. It's only included indicator lights, and power button are large. To activate the WiFi switch is provided, which shifted live.
