India Computer Sales: It’s Getting Personal
Forbes – Feb 27, 2008
“ver next five years we expect a compounded annual growth rate of about 20%” Piyush Pushkal manager for PC research at IDC told Forbes. “Computer penetration in India is very low so there’s huge potential. The low numbers are also tied to limited broadband penetration in India. “At the end of December 2007 India had 55 million Internet subscribers through wireless and mobile connections and 2.
Kit harkens to good old days of build-your-own PC
Globe and Mail – Feb 27, 2008
Sure you can go to your local computer shop to buy individual components but they won’t come with many instructions about how they all work together. So if you like to tinker is there any way to build your own computer that is a little more challenging than swapping out a hard disk and less challenging than getting a degree in engineering?VIA Technologies has stepped into a void that hasn’t been filled since the 1950s and 1960s when Heathkit (it’s still around) sold enthusiasts a bunch of components in a cardboard box with instructions on how to build a transistor radio. But instead of portable radios VIA has released a kit for a tiny but complete computer called the ARTiG. This educational toy is based on the VIA EPIA Pico ITX motherboard format and runs on VIA’s fan-cooled C7 1GHz processor.

It works just fine and quality is pretty good. I have so far burnt only home videos and cannot tell the difference in quality from the tape to DVD. What amazed me is the ease of use and reliability of this burner – at least so far!!!!My friend has been converting his 8mm tapes to DVD through his computer (using Nero or some other software). He told me that it has been a very painful and slow experience. After seeing my experience with this product he now wants to buy the Sony MC3 or MC5. Couple of things to note: Sony claims to create chapters of the video every 5 min (or any programmed duration). This does not translate to thumbnails in the dvd menu that you can select… verall I think this is a great robust product from Sony. Makes life easier and I would definitely recommend it if you have a lot of tapes that you want to put on DVDs.
D-Link Service Will Simplify PC Security
U.S. News & World Report – Feb 27, 2008
(Courtesy of D-Link Systems) Keeping home PCs safe from bad guys on the Internet is a constant hassle especially if you’re running Windows computers. And the hassle is multiplied by the number of PCs in a home. Each computer needs its own virus spyware and intrusion protection—and one for the kids might need parental controls. Network companies feel your pain. They also sense an opportunity and they’re trying to move the protection from the computer to the network’s hub which they happen to build and sell. D-Link for example… Putting this on the home router just makes sense. Nescrid Semaj of WA Feb 27 2008 19:11:28 PM [permalink].
