The people over Redmond based company Microsoft likely aren’t going to be so glad with the date that they’ve chose to introduce its new Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000v2, since Apple had also introduced its Magic Trackpad. While we do know that normal mouse and the Magic Trackpad are going to synchronize for a long time more, you will expect Apple’s new Trackpad to get more attention at this time.

The new Wireless Mobile Mice 3000v2 features rubber grips on its side to make users comfortable, and is usable by both left as well as right hands, while the USB nano receiver is pretty enough that you can leave it connected into your laptop without having to worry too much about it.

This new Wireless Mobile mouse has a 10 months of battery life, with a power status indicator also present to alert users when it’s running out of power. And the last, this mice has three buttons, a scroll wheel, as well as 1000dpi for better precision. It has a price tag of £19.99 (around $31), though it doesn’t look like that the mouse will be making an appearance in U.S.

Device Drivers and Why We Need To Update Them

June — Fri, 14 May 2010 01:40:10 +0000

As we all know, our computers has several external system components and hardwares, such as monitors, keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, webcam, etc, which are connected to the CPU. In order to work properly, these devices and hardwares would need their correct drivers.

Device drivers are the software programs that acts like a translator between the devices and all the programs that used them. Drivers are also necessary to make the system recognize the devices and hardwares so that they would work on the entire system, including to work with the other devices. Without the correct drivers, those external devices and hardwares won’t work properly or in some cases the system can’t recognize them at all which ends them up being useless components, and even worse crash the system.

In fact, the most common reason of external device and hardware troubles are driver problems. Sometimes we meet the situation where we lost the driver CD and didn’t have the backup on our drives. Some people choose to manually find the driver on internet, while we know that doing so would take more time than if we use some specific program like driveraccess to find the driver we need.

However, today’s Operating Systems are already packed with most drivers of all computer devices on the market. For example, Windows 7. After Vista’s failure and debacle, it seems that Microsoft and most hardware manufacturers learned their lessons, which results to Windows 7′s driver support were far more mature and robustly built.

So, people who load their computer with Windows 7 can expect their system to recognize and work with most hardwares and external devices. But still, there might be a chance where we have to manually install the drivers for some external device or hardware that Windows 7 don’t have the drivers for.

My personal experience was, right after i bought my latest netbook, i blew away the installed Vista and then load it with the Windows 7. After the installation’s finished, the system was able to recognize all of the hardwares except the touch pad so i have to find the driver by myself. Let’s just say at that time i was so unlucky that the drivers cd wasn’t included in the netbook’s retail package. That’s where the driver access program takes its big role.

With this program, i can find the latest driver for the touch pad then install it right way. And Voila! My netbook runs smoothly with all its features. What’s more, i can find the latest drivers for all hardwares on the netbook with the program, some are much latest and updated version of drivers than the ones packed inside Windows 7. We can get this great program from driveraccess.com.

For your information, most manufacturers update their drivers for their hardware products (mostly) every year, and everytime they found bugs or errors in their current drivers. The updates are also the manufacturer’s way to keep pace with today’s fast-changing technology.

So for us as the users, we should check for driver updates regularly to keep our system and hardwares works at the best condition. That way we’ll get the best from our computers and obviously trouble-free.

Onny — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 04:48:02 +0000

While it’s οnly a matter οf time befοre sοlid state stοrage becοmes cheap and reliable enοugh tο replace magnetic media fοr gοοd, companies like Western Digital are still finding ways tο keep thοse platters a’ spinning.

Take this new WD VelociRaptor VR200M, fοr instance. Critics agree that while it dοes not offer anywhere near SSD levels οf performance, it is certainly the fastest rotational SATA drive ever tested, 15 tο 30 percent imprοved οver the last generation οf VelociRaptors, depending οn the benchmark, and at rοughly 50 cents per gigabyte fοr the three-platter, 600GB WD6000BLHX ($329), it gives more capacity than any SSD yοu cοuld hοpe tο buy withοut refinancing yοur third vacatiοn hοme.

Reviewers nοte that with a 15mm drive height, yοu still would not be drοpping οne οf these speed demοns in yοur new laptop, and yοur desktop might be better οff with a cheaper 7200RPM drive paired with a similarly inexpensive SSD, but if you are looking fοr that single drive that dοes it all, the new VelociRaptor is yοur best bet.

Optimize your pc computer with the appropriate amount of memory

Andi — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:20:30 +0000

Instead the speed of computer processor, the memory is needed to optimize computer performance. A PC equipped with the fastest processor, a reliable motherboard, and the latest video card, but only connected with low capacity memory is a mistake. Memory is a crucial in a computer system. Just imagine the Memory is like a bridge, if memory has a huge capacity, then it means the bridge has many line track for vehicles, which means that passing cars can quickly pass the bridge, can you get the assumption ?

with advances in computer technology, the memory technology followed, if there had been only DDR memory, just a few years later DDR2 memory came out afterwards and have been supported by high-end motherboards. DDR memory has a variation speed at 266, 333, and 400. For DDR2 memory it has 400, 533, 667 and 800 variation speed. DDR2 memory also has power consumption lower than DDR memory. From the physical form of DDR memory has 184 pins, while DDR2 memory has 240 pins.

If you need a computer for office work such as word, spreadsheets, and playing mini games, just simply using 1 GB DDR2 memory with assumption you’re not using onboard VGA. But if you are a true gamer or a graphic designer who needs the speed of the computing process deservedly so you need 2GB DDR2 memory.

So the amount of computer memory capacity in my opinion is one thing that must be considered when you build your computer system. With the fabrication process causes a memory prices from year to year even cheaper, so equip your computer with greater memory soon.
