0 Screen issues give a thumbs down to the new Macbook Air

No product launch is ever 100-percent perfect, and it appears Apple’s MacBook Air is the latest to suffer some teething pains.  Some users are reporting visual glitches, display failures and other issues related to the new ultraportable’s screen, with both 11.6- and 13.3-inch versions of the Air experiencing the faults.

Via SlashGear

Apple has apparently been replacing most of the machines with issues, though custom orders have been taking longer since Apple Stores only generally carry the stock configurations.  Since the Air uses soldered RAM, the 4GB upgrade is a common one, and that has been leading to delays in replacements since a straight swap isn’t possible.
The company is yet to comment officially on the issue, and we’re yet to see the problem either on our review unit from Apple or the MacBook Air units that members of the SlashGear team have purchased.  Still, some people aren’t so lucky. Are you one of those ?

0 Using / Configuring / Connecting (BSNL) ADSL modem / router with other Internet connection (Sify , Airtel , Digital ,Beam , Tata ,Tikona )


I used BSNL Internet via phone line through a ADSL modem ( UTSTARCOM WA3002G4 ) which has 4 Ethernet ports , 1 phone line port and 1 wifi antenna

I had to quit BSNL because of their fraud billing , which i have proved to the Junior telecom officer(J.T.O), still i received no response . Some employees also say that leave the connection if you have so many problems , as if they were doing a favor to their users  ( that was the best response i could get ) .
They are still sending bills even though my phone and Internet are disconnected .
Am using Digital Internet , it like sify where you have LAN cable directly coming to your computer.It uses web login via its IP address . They also have set a IP address and subnet mask , along with default gateways , DNS 1 and DNS 2 .
I planned to buy a router but then i recalled i had a ADSL WiFi router / modem , after seeking suggestions from few network Admin's and Google search i presumed that it won't work .
Finally i dropped to few threads where few guys said it works with Sify .

Coming to SETTINGS :

First of all reset your modem via a hole at bottom , near heat sink holes ,  a circular hole outside the square pattern of other holes .
Note down all your IP config from accessing Network and sharing settings > manage network connection > Local area network > properties > IP4 properties . Note them
Now set to obtain automatically ( U need to do this to access modem , once you are done with modem settings restore them back to same ) , you will also need them in configuring modem so preserve them .

Modem settings >
STEP 1 >>JUST connect the modem to computer via its LAN cable RJ45 ( In my case used LAN 1 port)

STEP 2>>Access settings via 192.168.1.1

STEP 3>>In modem settings go to LAN settings leave the IP and Subnet settings intact to 192.168.1.1. and whatever , just change DHCP to " Disable DHCP server" checkbox .Save it

STEP 4 >>Now in DNS  , type your primary DNS in DNS 1
 type DNS 2 in secondary DNS .Save it

STEP 5 >>Then go to routing ,
remove the automatically obtain check from checkbox " default gateway "
Add your default gateway in the box that appears below after unchecking .Save it

DO NOT FOLLOW STEP 4 & STEP 5 if you dont have any IP configuration in network settings of your computer or if it is set to " obtain automatically " .

Step 6 >> Add a security to your WAN network via Wireless section in modem settings  , try adding WPA 2 or WPA 2 PSK  , you can also use other , then AES or TKIP anything you wish to use , add a 10 digit key in numbers as required for WPA2 . Save it

STEP 7 >> Shut down the modem , restore your IP config in Network and sharing settings > manage network connection > Local area network > properties > IP4 properties .

STEP 8 >> Now connect your Internet cable (RJ45) pin to your router ( In my case used LAN 4 port)

I also use it for my smartphone HTC desire
for that i had to add the same setting i use in my LAN IP4 in my phone to access Internet i will post procedure on same in next post .
Now i can use one device at a time , as my Internet connection does not support 2 devices to access at a time , if your ISP allows this you can, but its wirelessly and i can ask Internet guys to give me the multiple device login service will post on the same in next few days .

0 Wireless USB chips from Samsung promise less power drain on your device

"Low power consumption and higher bandwidths "  - The law of electronic has always been a reason behind new technological developments.Be it cellphone's , camera's , computers or any other gadget and specially for gadgets running on battery power focus to provide users with better performance and reducing the power consumtion to significant level . A gadget with the best performance in class but the worst backup would not be prefferably my choice.
Samsung's Wireless USB chipset is one of the latest advancements in techology with the superior ultra wide band (UWB) technology and enabled with high definition streaming between mobile host device and a tethered device . According to Samsung the technolgy is built to be implemented in devices like cameras, TVs, camcorders, PCs, tablets, portable HDDs, beam projectors, Blu-ray players and handsets and can provide speeds upto 480Mbps with an average power consumption lower than 300mW.
So what does this tecnical crap mean ? Even while your cellphone's battery is at its weakest state you could possibly watch atleast one episode of your favourite program via streaming it on your TV . There is no word on who all would be adopting this technology , but probably we would come to know more about it after its in mass production by the Q4 2010 .

0 MSI 3D Notebook FR600 shows up at IFA 2010


MSI is not going to lose out to Sony when it comes to 3D notebooks, as the company has paraded it at the 2010 IFA Show in Berlin. The Core i3-powered 16-inch FR600 notebook will come with integrated Intel graphics, TNX TruStudio Pro audio and a quartet of built-in speakers to get you started, while the CX623 with 3D technology will function as a dedicated Nvidia graphics card option to cater for all of your mobile 3D needs. While the FR600 model will retail for around 900 Euros, the CX will start from 699 Euros upwards as both models are prepped to arrive in the European market this November , we'll wait to see when does it find its way to the US and asian market .

"The masterpiece of Samsung's computer business" says Samsung's Seongwoo Nam on the company's new high-end QX410 , we saw its metal bodied older brother in the past. Still, nice island keyboard.

Inside the QX410s strangely familiar aluminum case sits an Intel Core i5 (or i7 in the 14" and 15" models), with a dual graphics solution that switches from power-saving integrated Intel to an Nvidia GeForce card when you're doing something more demanding than F5-ing Twitter.

The battery is rated for 6.9 hours use under perfect laboratory conditions, while Samsung's put in the same "Express Charging Mode" found in this week's other new Samsung laptop, the SF410. The company's "Samsung Fast Start" allows users to get up and working within three seconds. So that'll be a hibernate mode, then.

The QX series will arrive in 13.3", 14" and 15.6" screen sizes and few more specs are yet to be unveiled . Stay bookmarked
