Motorized Pro-Motion keyboard

Computer experience is a truly hazardous thing to human's health in long-term outlook. No need to name all the harm day-to-day hours at computer can do. It comes from practically every gear whether it is a monitor, or a keyboard and even system units can get on nerves with too loud sound or even smell sometimes. However, a probable solution to cure RSI and CTS we normally get from our keyboards have already arrived. RSI and CTS are medical terms for Repetitive Strain Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Overall they mean that wrists are harmed by computer work and there hardly is a cure except for giving up PC work maybe. This is much easier to prevent this sort of things rather then to cope with as they occur, so Smartfish Technologies made their own user-friendly keyboard. It is called the Pro-Motion keyboard.

Researches from Smartfish Technologies decided to fit a keyboard with motors, which may sound quiet funny.But the Pro-Motion keyboard should be taken seriously and there is nothing similar to compare it with, so Smartfish Technologies are plausibly opening a new branch in keyboard evolution. Pro-Motion keyboard is able adjust itself basing on personal particularities each person has. Doing a small study, Pro-Motion keyboard can move up, down, change the angle and so on. Motors are being operated by a Dynamic Positioning Controller. It requires installing some software and that's about it. All the advantage of having HSS' (Hospital for Special Surgery) experience in work is set up. Such a way, Smartfish Technologies say, it eliminates any risk of getting RSI or CTS as time passes.

Pro-Motion keyboard is compatible with both: Mac and PC.Gadget is connected via a USB port and can also download software upgrades from the Internet. Smartfish Technologies provides the whole product support and gives five year warranty. All for about 130 USD and Pro-Motion keyboard is already available.

Announced user-friendly abilities are not yet tested by a neutral lab, but there seem to be no doubts in their success. And also, we haven't mentioned stylish design of the aluminum finished body. The thing is though, a lot of computer work is done in offices but employers are not going to provide staff with Pro-Motion keyboards, so bring yours.

Recyclable temporary hard Drive Concept by Cagnina

What does it come to mind when one thinks of an external hard drive, the shape and size that comes to mind is the ugly square boxes with cables and other connecting device. Enter innovation in the form of the new external hard drive concept by Kansas based Argentine Industrial designer Franco Marino Cagnina is cool and funky to say the least. One would be mistaken for it to be a tumbler, but this designer has really carved out the extra ordinary out of the ordinary design and the other encouraging advantage is that it’s recyclable thus environment friendly. So the next time one finds a need to carry data, just take a glassful of it! The company only announced about this concept and no more details are available about this product. hope this will make a evolution in the field of computers. Some pics of this concept model area available and I'm uploading two of them.

AMD Puma

AMD has launch PUMA, its latest mobile platform. Embedding its latest chipset and ATI graphics together with 802.11n WLAN, AMD is taking the fight right up to Intel’s new Centrino 2.

At the heart of PUMA, lies the AMD 780G chipset which can deliver DirectX 10 graphics acceleration, full high definition H.264 decoding with both HDMI and Display Port outputs and 5GHz PCI Express ports. This combined with the new AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile CPU and the ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series embedded graphics, givs it a huge leap in 3D performance and HD playback image quality. Combined with a discreet ATI graphics, not only can it support up to 4 monitors, users will also benefit from ATI CrossFireX Technology which according to AMD boast 3D graphic performance up to 70%.

AMD is also claiming 70% increase in battery life with AMD Enhanced Power Now! and ATI Power Xpress technology which shuts off core logic parts of the CPU when not in use and automatically switches from discreet graphics to integrated graphics when on battery power.

Notebooks utilizing AMD’s PUMA are now available from OEM manufactures such as HP, Compaq and Acer.

Super Talent SSD

Super Talent company does not want to make its fans to wait too long for new models to appear. After those 5 models from MasterDrive DX series, two new models from MasterDrive LX series of 2,5 inches where launched with the capacity of 64 GB and 128 GB respectively and a SATA -2 interface of 3 Gb/sec.

It is well-known the fact that Hard - Diks are more preferred than SSD yet because of the report between the price and the storage capacity that is favorable for the first ones. New MasterDrive LX could be the beginning of the change in this dispute because of the low prices that offer this two new produces: 179 USD for 64 GB and approx. 300 USD for 128 GB.

The sequential reading speed is maximum 100 MB/s and the one for writing is maximum 40 MB/s. These two storage units have an integrated error corrector (EEC) and a better one administration of data transferring. Their names are the same cryptic as previous ones: FTM64GO25H and FTM28GO25H. And their selling has already begun this week.

MSI RX3850 Graphic Card Review

This month we see more red, because we have the RX3850 on review and it is the 256MB plus overclocked version of the card. As usual the card sports a red PCB that is a signature of ATI cards. There isn’t any enclosure really, just the cyborg themed sticker with a rather large fan with an equally large heatsink. The cooling system seems no different from the that of the reference card though. It works though since heat doesn’t get trapped so it’s cooler and the design of the cooling system will ensure that fan noises are kept to a minimum.

MSI was pretty frugal in the packaging though with the price point this is understandable. Other than the mandatory driver CD, a DVI/D-Sub adapter, DVI/HDMI adapter, and a S-Video to composite cable were included. The card has two DVI ports so it definitely supports dual-link DVI. You can actually get another adapter in case you need to support two monitors that only supports VGA ports. The fan is situated in the middle of the PCB and the large heatsink is designed that it’ll dispersed heat evenly and since no heat is trapped, as we mentioned earlier, the temperature for this card is relatively low at only 37°C to 57°C.

The RX3850 has CrossFire support as well as a whole slew of MSI’s own software to enhance the performance and usability of the card such as MSI’s DOT Express, Vivid image technology, the Live Update Online, and the MSI GoodMem. Nothing to explain about CrossFire as most of you should already know. The others are tools and utilities created by MSI and bundled with the RX3850 within the CD given. The DOT Express or Dynamic Overclocking Technology Express is an advanced overclocking tool for not only overclocking but also “cooling and de-noise performance”. Vivid is a tool to enhance image quality, it is said to help users get better image quality when viewing digital photos, documents, and games. Then there’s Life Update Online, which helps you to automatically download and update the BIOS and driver whenever there’s a new version online.

This is an overclocked version so of course the clockspeeds were increased though in this case only slightly so. The core clock speed is bumped up from the reference card’s 670 MHz to 690 MHz, nothing else was changed. However, if you want to you can always change the settings with the DOT Express tool.

This card is has decent performance and it’s few selling points would include low temperature, being near-noiseless, and of course the few useful utility and programs bundled along with the CD. It has a lot of useful features as does the other card, so it’s really up to your own discretion on which card you should choose.
