Buffalo to deliver Blu-ray 3D-ready external writer

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:30:33 +0000

It have been a kicked off in popularity with 3D playback, but displays and media players capable of it are rapidly growing in number, so Buffalo decided it would make an external Blu-ray writer that not only supports Blu-ray 3D, but can even convert 2D to 3D when given the necessary software assistance.

As the most capacious means of storing files on optical disks, the Blu-ray disk format has, naturally, become a media for the propagation of 3D video content. In fact, the recently-released BDXL disks are sure to make it even easier to store multiple 3D films in high quality. As it happens, there are already a number of 3D-capable multimedia players on the market, among other things, so Buffalo catered to the mobile segment. Thus, it put together the BP3D-PI6U2-BK, an external Blu-ray writer that, though not BDXL-ready, fully supports Blu-ray 3D and, with the assistance of the CyberLink PowerDVD 9 software, can convert 2D into 3D.

Design-wise, the electronic measures 137 (W) x 20 (H) x 147 (D) mm, weighs 340 grams and has an all-black coating that should let it fit in, aesthetically, with most PCs. Also, as one may expect, the device connects to laptops and PCs through the USB 2.0 connector. With actual performance, the units can read and write a wide variety of optical disks, including CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray disks. Speeds include 24x for CD-R/-RW, 5x DVD-RAM, 6x for DVD-R/+R DL and DVD-RW, 8x for DVD-R/+R and DVD+RW, 6x for BD-R (SL/DL) and 2x for BD-RE (SL/DL).

Just this morning, I received a call from my youngest sister saying she needs one of those halloween costumes. Due to my busy schedule I forget that Halloween is just around the corner. She adds that her school will hold a custome party. But, the catch is that the best dresser will get an award. For sure my competitive sister wants to get that award. That’s why she is seeking my help.

Good thing I have my internet and computer. I can always do online shopping at buy.com. It is a one-stop shop for great halloween costumes, costume accessories, costume footwear for people of all ages. I don’t have to worry as there is a wide variety of categories including Superheroes, Famous People and the classics. Accessories like props, masks, wigs and face paint are also available.

Hmmm, I just wonder what my sister wants to look like on that day. I still have to ask her on that one.

Apple Reinvents iPod nano With Multi-Touch UI

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:33:45 +0000

In conjunction with the new iPod touch, Apple unveiled a completely redesigned iPod nano featuring a Multi-Touch interface, a combination of features typical to the existing shuffle and nano lines of Apple players, as well as built-in FM radio. The new Multi-Touch nature of Apple’s 6G nano allows users to navigate their music collection by simply tapping or swiping a finger on the display. The device is nearly half the size and weight of the previous nano, but retains the polished aluminum and glass enclosure.

Borrowing some design from the iPod shuffle, Apple’s new nano boasts a built-in clip, “making it instantly wearable. It comes with the ability to create and edit playlists, a feature called Genius Mixes, as well as a built-in FM radio with live pause. The player is capable of some 24 hours of continuous music playback on a single battery charge. This is the biggest reinvention of the iPod nano since its debut in 2005, and we think users are going to love it. Replacing the click wheel with our Multi-Touch interface has enabled us to shrink the iPod nano into an amazingly small design that is instantly wearable with its built-in clip”, said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

Apple also markets the new nano as a great piece of workout gear, with an amazing new design that is nearly half the size and weight of its predecessor, the new ultra-portable iPod nano is a natural workout companion. With the help of a built-in pedometer, Apple’s new iPod nano can track the user’s steps. Naturally, it also supports Nike + iPod. Just like the new iPod touch, the sixth-generation iPod nano will be available next week.

It will retail for $149 (US) for the 8GB model, and $179 (US) for the 16GB model, and will ship in six different colors (silver, graphite, blue, green, orange and pink). Pre-orders are already available at Apple’s online store, while customers can also opt for the (PRODUCT) RED version – a portion of each sale goes to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Recently WordPress blogging tool for mobile phones has been updated. BlackBerry and Android platforms received new versions with mainly bug fixes. The latest 1.4.1 release for BlackBerry addresses some bugs encountered by users, such as the empty title issue for blogs with the “Site Title” field set to an empty value, a problem in the comments screen that didn’t allow editing of comments with special characters within the URL or e-mail field, as well as other minor bugs. Also, the update also delivers a better integration with the VideoPress service and the WordPress.com Space-Upgrade option, as well as support for the blog shortcut icon.

The Android build, now at version 1.3.5, has a longer change list, including: more stable preview of blog posts, a fix regarding multi-language support which made long strings of text break the interface, a patch for an issue which caused the option to turn off the Mobile Theme to randomly disappear, and another one for the occasional adding of random extra paragraph HTML tags when editing a blog post.

Furthermore, the update deals with two crashes which occurred when working with very large images of over 8Mb, and when switching the data connection type during a process (e.g. switching from WiFi to 3G). Apart from these fixes, the release also makes it easier for users to deal with comments. Newly added feature makes the actual text of new comments appear in the Android notification bar.

as I was surfing the web

I was surfing the web, when I came across the Cosmetology School in Austin, a part of the huge family of Regency Beauty Institute. It reminds me of a good friend that I mentioned before who changes career after realizing she doesn’t want our line of work. Instead, she wants to be a business woman and own a salon of her own.

the thought of having website

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:18:15 +0000

Maintaining websites isn’t always easy. Other than updating the entry, there is also a need to update the template once in a while. The look of the site portrays the image of the company owners and how serious they are in sharing stuff or doing business in the web. Crappy looking website may ruin the reputation of the company. It means that a well-presented website may present itself as a safe site. That is the first impression of most internet users around the globe. Other than that online buddies may visit the site that tends to look appealing than those that are not.

But, owning a website doesn’t have to be very expensive. There are lots of free good quality website templates available. In fact, it is the easiest and the fastest way to set up a website. Constructing a website from a template also can save a great deal of time. Custom sites may take months to complete, but template based sites can be created in days, perhaps even hours.

Another good thing in using “ready-made” website is the cost. A web template costs considerably less than a custom website. No need to pay or employ the service of web designer. Well, cost will not be an issue if the company has lots of money to spend.

Anyway, a website is an indispensable tool for most businesses today. Having online presence can make a lot of difference in terms of gaining advantage over the competitor. But, it is also important to take into consideration the appearance of the site as it can affect the image of the company.

starting to lose hope

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:58:06 +0000

It’s been two months already and yet I haven’t heard any good news from the companies I submitted my resume. Actually, I’m starting to lose hope in finding a job in the medical world. It seems like it’s not my line of work. Good thing wifey is always trying to console me and motivate me that there is one job out there intended for me.

Anyway, with the days passing by so fast, I’m beginning to consider applying in sales jobs even if I am not a marketing or business graduate. Most of my friends and classmates in college are doing perfectly fine in their sales career. Some are even promoted as supervisors or something like that. Also, with stable jobs, most of them are settling down.

I could be one of them, if I just decided to find a job after college. But, I did not; I waited until I passed the board exam. Now, I’m starting to regret that. Still, I’m not losing hope that soon I will land a job that is meant for me.
