Lately, Samsung may have already unveiled the X125 ultraportable mobile computer, but the PC maker definitely doesn’t look as though it is ready to settle for just that one product. As such, it decided to update two of the product pages on its official website. Said product pages belong to two of its X Series laptops and the main change is the appearance of a new CPU option. The central processing unit belongs to Intel’s ULV line and will enable a new level of performance. Portability weren’t entirely popular until late last year because the CPUs that they operated on were quite expensive and, unfortunately, didn’t have a very high performance. Then, Intel unleashed the new ULV processors, which actually did provide better capabilities. Samsung decided to add the Core i3-330M CPU as an option on its X180 and X430.

The Core i3-330M has a clock speed of 1.2 GHz and largely similar specifications as the X170 that preceded it. It boasts 3 GB of DDR3 memory and a 320GB HDD, in addition to all the obligatory connectivity and I/O options. Furthermore, it has a screen size of 11.6 inches. As for the X430, it measures 14 inches and has, as its most noteworthy feature, at least compared to the X420 that came before it, the GeForce 310M discrete graphics card. The rest of the feature set is unchanged, although it can be argued that the mere fact that one isn’t restricted to the integrated graphics is already a significant step up.

The only so-called drawback that the newcomers have is that they are slightly less long-lived, battery-wise. They should survive for up to eight hours instead of nine. As the very least, the X430 makes up for this by virtue of its better video capabilities.

Throughout the years, it is understandable that most of us were able to collect substantial number books and even textbooks. But, continually accumulating books also mean space. It can take up a lot of space especially for those book worms. Tossing and throwing them away isn’t a good option since books are books. Time may ruin its covers and pages, but the value, stories and essence of books will never go away. Plus, it is an investment that you don’t want to see go to waste.

One way to give more space for new books is to sell the old ones. This is not a bad idea as someone may find the books that used to be collecting dust in your shelf very useful. There are lots of stores accepting old books. But, there is also a new concept of selling books and textbooks online.

Basically, you can get the most of what you paid for the books if you sell textbooks and books online. It also gives you convenience since you don’t have to leave home. Just like any other online stores, they are open 24/7. So, you can sell books day or night as they are always open to buy the books. This is the simplest way to make money from old books and to open up space for new ones.

Honestly it feels nice to see memorabilia’s as it sends your memory back to a specific good event that happened in your life. Well, wifey  was doing a closet clean-up to give space for new items she bought. Fortunately, she finds the first wallet I gave her. That wallet already slips my mind. I never even remember giving it to her until she shows the coins.

It was a foreign coin I kept with hopes that it will increase in value. But, that did not happen. Of course, there is a big possibility if those were gold coins. Many believe and consider it a unique investment. Basically, buying gold has been recognized for centuries as one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power. It is one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power.

If you are planning to invest in gold and other precious metal, the United States Gold Bureau can help you with that. It is the place where you can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository.

Previously Sharp announced its first BDXL Blu-ray disks, with a capacity of 100GB and, soon after, TDK revealed its own plans to join this movement. Later, once the first batch of disks starts selling, the two hope to move on to 128GB disks. Needless to say, these capacities are nothing to be frowned upon, but they may not keep their title as greatest for as long as some might think. Sony, in partnership with Tohoku University of Japan, have apparently developed a laser that has a watt output 100 times higher than the currently highest values for conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers.

Basically, the new type of laser has an output of 100 watts and supposedly has the ability to scribe up to 20 times more data on a disk, compared to ‘regular’ Blu-ray. Essentially, this equals about 1TB. Granted, this technology isn’t exactly in line with the vision of a future completely free of the need for optical storage, but a technology like this is still a great step forward. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no mention of how long it will take for it to see practical implementations.

“This latest successful development is an all-semiconductor laser picosecond pulse source with a laser wavelength of 405 nanometers (1 nm = one-billionth of a meter) in the blue-violet region,” the Sony/Tohoku University press release reportedly states. “It is capable of generating optical pulses in the ultrafast duration of 3 picoseconds (1 picosecond = one-trillionth of a second), with ultrahigh output peak power of 100 watts and repetition frequency of 1 gigahertz. Advanced control of the newly-developed and proprietarily-constructed GaN-based mode-locked semiconductor laser and semiconductor optical amplifier have enabled peak output power in excess of 100 watts to be achieved, which is more than a hundred times the world’s highest output value for conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers.”

I’m a little surprise to see wifey  picked up another bottle of wrinkle lotion. She bought one last month and I doubt she was able to finish it already. I asked her as to the reason. Her answer enlightens and baffles me at the same time.

She is buying the item not for her use, but for the helper. She said that the helper could use a lot of help to regain beauty as she is really concerned towards the appearance of the woman. I don’t understand why she needs to do that. She adds that the woman is only 44 years old, but she looks like 60 because of wrinkles. Actually, the woman looks older than our parents.

Helping is perfectly fine with me when we have sufficient cash. But, now that there are so many things we need to pay, then I guess she just needs to drop the idea.
