In 2009 was released a report stating that if you connect to the Internet with a computer without security updates or without other protections , the system is infected within four minutes. This announcement seems to be very afraid, but do not worry : is totally unfounded.

More is not that a news released on purpose to create confusion and panic unjustified, and a marketing tool used by the organization that issued it ( in this case, SANS , a company that sells security training courses and organizes conferences ) .

It ‘ true that there are many malicious programs that automatically search and on the Internet to infect unprotected machines , but it is true that they are easily infected . If you install anything prior to Windows XP SP (which was released in late 2004) , perhaps you should worry about , unless there is something on your network that you ‘re put under protection , which is probably true , you know it or not.

Your ISP (Internet service provider) is probably already preventing unwanted traffic from the Internet to achieve your devices . Your wireless router or your cable modem / DSL could carry a firewall enabled by default and your router / modem most likely will use NAT ( network address translation ) . NAT technology protects you from external threats , even if your car turns in a very old version of Windows.

These technologies make it extremely difficult for someone from outside can penetrate into your machine without you yourself do something. This usually means that only you can be the cause of infection . You could visit a site that tries to deceive you to download something dangerous or you receive an email that tries to exploit the vulnerabilities of the program used for electronic mail, or you try to install something .

In any case , it is you who started a connection to the outside. Clearly there are many prevention techniques that can keep your machine safe. Why , then , SANS should spread things that seem true? SANS measurement data certainly real , but fluctuates . SANS says nothing about the methodology used to calculate these numbers. Although it is a good listen to those who provide valuable safety tips , do not believe too whistle alarms for the sole purpose of terrorizing people . In essence, do not believe campaigns Marketing is not supported by strong evidence

After the launch of Acer ’s netbook Aspire One 150 in consumer and pro version , the company in Taiwan has certainly not stopped their projects but continued to work on a new netbook. The latest SFF PC recently presented the Aspire One is D250. This 10-inch netbook(Acer aspire One battery) is available in multiple versions for business, giving is a very large configurations and choices for purchasers.

The Acer Aspire One D250 is based on an Intel chipset 945GSE choice that can mount an Intel Atom N270 clocked at 1.6 GHz or an Intel Atom N280 with a frequency of 1.66 GHz RAM base is 1 Gb , but the model configuration to 2 GB per mount. The machine has only one slot for RAM DDR2 533/667 MHz memory frequency announced mass is instead a 2.5-inch SATA Hard Disk with 160 GB capacity and 5400 rpm.

The video of the netbook(Lenovo Thinkpad t61 Battery) segment , is based on a 10.1- inch LCD technology with LED-backlit CrystalBrite ( Acer now standard ) 200 nits and the maximum WSVGA resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels. From the standpoint of internal accessories are set to 0.3 MPXl webcam , microphone, card reader.

In terms of connectivity but we have interesting perspectives. We speak of a Wi – Fi 802.11 b / g and a Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, but not all. There is also the possibility of a future external integration module 3G UMTS / HSPA (HSDPA / HSUPA ). The notebook has some very small ( from sheet 184 x 258.5 x 25.4 mm ) for one kg and 100 grams. It appears less bulky and lighter of the Aspire one D150.

The mini PC ’s operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and has supplied the full version of Office Works 9.0. The options available ( original Acer probably will be sold in a package bundle for Christmas ) are the neoprene bag , second Dell Inspiron 1520 battery and the external DVD burner.

Autonomy with the standard 3 cell battery is 3 hours and a half , while the upgrade to 6-cell battery can also be reached at about 8 hours as vostro 1710 battery. Available colors are Blue , White , Black , Red. The reference price model sold in Europe with Intel Atom N280 processor and 1 GB of RAM is 379 euros including VAT. But we are awaiting the official release in stores of Italian computer to see if the price will remain the same or opt for a standard small increase of 399 Euros.

The world of PMP (Portable Media Player) seems to have passed into the background since the phones are increasingly full of entertainment features and especially since more and more improve the performance of media players. Beyond that Creative still has the fixed point as main factory producing these devices basing its products on quality and price with Apple(Macbook Pro battery) because the iPod has dramatically increased its sales, Microsoft has also confirmed the birth of Zune player HD, a new multimedia file player with the ability to view all mobile content in high resolution.

Let’s see what it is in detail. The preview of the May 15, 2009, has given great satisfaction to the users as they have been deprived of the technical details and had to settle for video presentation of the product as

Apple A1036 Adapter, but today we have some more technical notion. First of all, we know that the device designed by boys in Redmond will be equipped with a 3.6- inch OLED touch screen interface completely.

Furthermore, it was confirmed that the Microsoft Zune PMP HD will have the NVIDIA Tegra, a dedicated chipset from NVIDIA to ensure high image definition. A talk is just Matt Akers, a conference official specified that the new Zune player is HD as: “A laptop in the palm of your hand “a phrase from Steve Jobs probably already heard the launch of the iPhone, but always with a good effect. The processor was designed in mid-2008, it has been a tremendous satisfaction at home NVIDIA and Microsoft you can trust blindly after the demonstrations. The video output is 720 pixels and allows connection to monitors to Hi Definition. For technical completeness we show that the iPhone 3G has on board video chipset PowerVR SGX. There are numerous 3D games on the device to appreciate the details. The equipment will be different than that with the possibility of increasing the Dell XPS M1330 battery capacity (already long), are the memories that are 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB.

There remains the question of the presence (or VGP-BPS8A) integrated camera that Microsoft has not yet clarified. The fact is that the device should be purchased by September 2009 on various online networks that are trying to “grab” the preview of the player. First of all with a double interest in sales, for the type of multimedia products sold is Amazon, but at a price not yet announced .

According to some Internet sites American characters of information such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have paranormal powers as they can know in advance exactly what people want (although Gates, after the launch of Vista has lost points in the standings). Seriously, this quick intro to reflect on how difficult prefvere the market, but not impossible. 

The computer(VGP-BPS9/B) market, Software, mobile technology is an unknown constant for producers. To try to predict what will happen in the future we tried to Gartner, well established company that deals with surveys, forecasts, marketing. Garther realized commissionatada advice from a well-known hardware manufacturer on sales forecasts for the computer market. 

Despite the global crisis decreased sales of computers(Macbook Pro battery), according to Gartner will be much lower than was projected in passatto. Garner has analyzed that the decrease in sales will not be 9.2 % ( value stated by the same analyst firm in March last year), but will “only” 6%. Consequently, the freefall of the computer market is expected in the second and third quarters of this year but with a considerable rise during the last year for sales of Netbook especially at Christmas next. The notebook market at year end would have the following scenario : sales of notebook computers will grow by 4.1 % to the price collapse, but revenues for producers are thus estimated with a fall of 12 %. 

Most major computer(Dell Inspiron 1520 battery) manufacturersnot afraid to say these predictions. We try to understand why. In addition to confidence in their products will surely know that a great advantage since 22 October, when the official release of the new Microsoft operating system at home or Windows 7. In fact with the release of Windows 7 on computer manufacturers will undoubtedly surge in sales. 

Have been confirmed in recent days, rumors about the consumption of the new netbook and notebook(IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad x61 tablet battery) platforms based on Atom Trail. The main information concerning the lack of active heat dissipation system and also about reducing consumption, but we see some more detail . Intel products low cost and low consumption for netbooks, laptops(Thinkpad x300 battery) and PCs All-In -One has provided the platform known by the codename “Pine Trail“. 

Tables unofficial common online version is Intel -M Pine Trail (a variant of Pine Trail for Netbooks ) will be characterized by the thermal design power ( TDP ), only 7 watts, compared to 16 watts of current spread in the Netbook(Toshiba Satellite A200 battery) platform of series equipped with Intel Atom Diamondville processor . 

So significant reduction in consumption ancle the size of new mother board will be small to allow the integration of IGP graphics controller with the processor system on a chip ( SoC ) Intel Pineview . There will be no more ‘ fan for heat dissipation to save space by increasing performance. These data are unofficial, but seem to be almost certain given the ” compatibility ” with those previously disclosed. 

The new platform provided by Intel should reduce consumption by 50 % compared to the Atom platform in 2008. will be considerable, from Intel , including savings in production costs . Intel today confirmed that the new Intel Atom N450 (Single- Core Mobile), Intel Atom D410 (Single- Core Fixed ) and Intel Atom D510 (Dual – Core Fixed ) to 1.66GHz frequency still will not guarantee superior performance to current . Intel will Pine Trail in May 2010 and as expected the performance will be far superior to the existing platforms . The new products will still have (according to rumors ) are fully compatible with previous products.

The first netbook Nokia 3G chimera Booklet . The question is: Why almost unchallenged leader of the mobile decides to dive into the world of the Netbook ? One possible answer could be because for some time, some of the largest companies in its competitors, see for Sony and LG , have made the big move, while others such as HP(Pavilion dv9000 Battery) and Acer(Acer aspire One battery) have undertaken in the opposite direction by expanding their range action in the world of mobile telephony, now ’s add also that in the era of Social Network Communication between people has taken different shapes and sizes and we probably would have found a key to the story, not simply considering Nokia as a leader in mobile telephony but also as a leader in mobile communication systems .

What can we expect from the Finnish giant? The risk of that Nokia could be damaging their image , offering a mediocre product or at least indistinguishable from the crowd, but the experience gained and the great foresight to lead the company to tighten and renew trade agreements with both Microsoft Intel , if we add the technology experience and commitment in research which has always marked eg as regards batteries and connectivity, there are all the conditions and in fact some of the salient features of 3G will Booklet :

a long battery life: We are talking about 12 hours as Toshiba PA3176U-1BRS battery, 3G/HSPA connectivity , WI – FI and high speed internet access of course , add to this innovative design , aluminum frame , glass display HD ready and HDMI port for high-definition video .

If you consider the main actors of this story , namely Nokia , Microsoft and Intel would naturally come to easy conclusions such as ” whatever happens will be a success” but trying to go over and read between the lines I wonder if we might be confronted with a new evolution of the concept of mobility , the ingredients are all there and it is also natural to think that competitors will not look long.

The phenomenon of netbooks(Acer aspire One battery) continues unabated, indeed. This’ although there are many who still have not clear the difference between a notebook and a netbook, this perhaps also because, netbooks, in many cases, are poorly presented. In fact when you think a netbook is expected to only one computer to surf the Internet, performance, therefore, not excellent and low cost. Instead, the netbook can also be seen as a trip computer, for example, or work, suitable to be easily moved from one office to another, always keep handy, ready to see the inbox, check news, buy a plane ticket. So what defines a Netbook: The size, performance, price?

Actually a bit ‘all these things. A practical example might be the ‘EeePC 1101HA. I think we can consider this PC point where it ends and begins a notebook(Sony VGP-BPS9/B).

Eee PC 1101 HA is a netbook that established a new record field for the screen size: 11.6 inches. The netbook is based on Intel Atom Z520, 1.33 GHz speed The display has a WXGA resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive, keyboard extends (almost like a notebook) and complete, WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel webcam, VGA, three USB 2.0 ports, SD reader.

The dimensions of this EeePC is 286×196x35, 5 mm, weighing just 1.4, the operating system Microsoft Windows XP. The price around 400 euros depending on the version, a crossroads, then, where does the netbook and notebook(Dell Vostro 1710 battery) starts because both the size and the facilities make this computer like a notebook, albeit low-end.

Apparently those who possess a netbook(Dell Latitude D630 battery) will no longer afraid of being snubbed by Microsoft, Which recently announced a desire to supply netbooks to only basic version the new operating system Windows 7, Ie Starter. But recently a senior company official said the U.S. shift away from Microsoft, perhaps because of the desire not to leave the field to competition from OEMs Linux-based: In any case netbook manufacturers can freely install all versions of Windows 7 unrestricted .

A choice is widely shared by the public who had harshly criticized the initiative ’s original Microsoft. What netbook(Dell Vostro 1710 battery) , at first glance a computer from potential reduced , it is actually detected a continuously evolving technology , able to give full support to many multimedia applications , such as high definition . Windows 7 starter but does not include among the software components as Internet Connection Sharing, Aero and Windows Media CenterAnd this is not permetterebe users to fully exploit the capabilities of the new mini netbook.

Now not only you can choose which version of Windows 7 install, but will also provide opportunities to those who buy a netbook(Dell Latitude D800 Battery) equipped with Windows 7 Home Basic or Starter to go with a few tens of dollars more to Home Premium.

 A few months after the new iPhone 3 GS Apple returns to the market launch Magic Mouse , another revolutionary tool , with its unique potential, which result in the simulation of the functions already proposed by the Multi-Touch trackpad , in this latest generation of MacBook.

The mouse itself is a device capable of sending a series of input to the computer , so that its movements will match a similar one on the screen. There are several models as IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad x61 battery, among which the mechanical ones ( with a ball that moves the toothed wheels and two encoders ) and the optical (initially composed of an LED and an optical sensor – electric , but then realized with a chip for ‘ image processing , which has expanded the use of space ) . The other important distinction to remember is that between the mouse and the cable and wireless , communicating with the computer via radio waves , infrared, or Bluetooth.

Apple(Apple A1045 battery) decides to propose a new tool , able to exploit the great potential of a multi-touch technology , embedded device over the entire surface of an elegant minimalist design . Magic Mouse is in fact composed of a single large button, above which you can scroll through your fingers in any direction to quickly browse Web pages , pictures, or any document you want. This is made possible by the presence of a particular chip , capable of capturing every single signal with the utmost precision, also , Magic Mouse also features a laser tracking engine (compatible with most surfaces) , which makes much more sensitive than traditional technologies .

Following in the footsteps of the previous model called Mighty , available with or without wire , Magic decided to get ahead, completely abandoning the concept of cable and asking uncomfortable with a clean , basic and increasingly sophisticated. The computer connection is via Bluetooth technology , which allows two devices to maintain a distance of 10 meters , also , Magic has an on – off switch , useful for saving battery power , and a special system that can manage the power consumption with maximum efficiency by automatically detecting the moments of inactivity. The price offered by Apple(Apple A1189) Magic Mouse is 69 euros.

Acer(Acer Aspire One battery) will put on the market next April the new smartphone beTouch E400, a slim and user friendly device suitable for web browsing and social networks.

The 3G connectivity and Wi-Fi give you the opportunity to be able to navigate freely everywhere. The Android operating system 2.1 (Éclair), makes navigation quick and easy thanks to the power of Qualcomm 7227 processor from 600 MHz high-performance technical device, available in white, black and red, make that an extremely fast consultation web pages and streaming flow corresponds to a very low energy consumption.

The design is in favor of beTouch E400. His versatility,  Acer(BTP-60A1 battery) Lighting Behavior, simple and intuitive interface that can change color if unread message, missed calls and low battery, and a thickness of only 12 mm makes it attractive to a wide spectrum of users search of a good smartphone.

The large touch screen 3.2-inch high-definition (HVGA) offers a rich and vibrant colors and ultra-sensitive precision, while the 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, geo-tagging, allows you to capture stunning images in high definition. Thanks to a dedicated widget you can also record video and upload directly to YouTube.

Support for Microsoft Exchange Server within the native device is the icing on the cake can also open the device to all the customers that design often sacrifices at the expense of practicality. With the E400 beTouch Instead, you can create files on mobile phones Microsof Word, Excel and Powerpoint. You can also view PDF files.

The E400 has beTouch also preinstalled Acer Sync, whereby the smartphone can count on an automatic synchronization based on cloud and Wi-Fi device with any computer(IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad x60 battery) fixed and portable contacts. Calendars and files will always be automatically updated.
