Nebulae, China’s Fastest Computer

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Not so long from now, China is likely to be the superpower of the world super computer. This is obvious with the presence of the nebulae computer in the National Center for Super Computer Shenzhen as the second fastest super computer in the world.

Ranked first in the world’s fastest computer is still held by the U.S. with a computer that is named Jaguar. This computer has a speed of 1.75 petaflops. One petaflops equals to 1000 trillion calculations per second.

China was predicted to be a key player in the world of computers. Currently, Dawning, a company that is behind the creation of nebulae, reportedly was building a super fast computer again the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin.

In addition, the company is also developing silicon chips with the ability giant.

By becoming the king of the computer world, China has a chance to become the world’s superpower. It is said that the computer with the capability to process data very quickly will be very useful in various fields like industry research, aircraft design, or oil exploration.

New Portable Hard Disk

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Portable hard disk is usually performed so-so only, have a usual look. Their color tends monotone, monochrome. Commonly, we can found portable hard disk with a black line accent.

We can see portable hard disks everywhere today. Why, because we can see it connected to net books that accompany their owners hanging around public places like cafes or food courts.

This opportunity is processed by A-Data with the introduction of portable hard disk 2.5 “the body stunning. The whole body was decorated with a unique pattern of hard disk. For a portable basic color black, it has a plaid pattern. Meanwhile a pink portable, has a different pattern which is flower tendrils. Cool isn’t it?

3D patterns are printed on a special surface using IMF technology (in-mold foil). IMF technique usually used on the casing top notebooks, among others, the Sony brand. As a result of A-Data SH02 looked so stunning, elegant.

The beauty is not only visually, but it feels when we touch the body with fingertips. The owner was impressed aware of fashion, stylist. Plus, finishing SH02 resistant surface scratches, abrasion, and also not easily contaminated by traces of fingerprints.

“We are looking for all possibilities to implement new technologies and integrate them with design elements and details of advanced storage products to deliver innovative products that differentiate us from competitors,” said Vice President of A-DATA Technology Product Planning Group. “SH02 is a good example of the alloy surface finishing of new technology with designer style, creating a portable hard disk that practical but trendy to market.”

Hard disk A-Data SH02 with a USB 2.0 connection is available in three color choices: white, black, and pink. Any capacity can be selected, a maximum of 500GB.

The owners of A-Data hard disk free to download software to leverage the hard disk. On the A-Data site, you can download the available software and Norton Internet Security 2010. Last but not least, SH02 had a three-year warranty period.

More Small, New Intel Atom Chip

Sunday, March 21st, 2010
Intel has just announced the presence of new generation processors for Net-book. These processors are able to extend the promised battery life, and improve system performance. A new processor called the Atom N450 is 60% smaller than they are today. Power consumption was 20% less. According to the release of Intel, while working chip consuming only 5.5 watts of power around. But the new chip clock speed is the same as that directed to N280 Netbook, which is 1.66 GHz.
Smaller chip size makes the potential for inclusion into the Netbook and tablet PCs that are thinner than they are today. The price of this chip itself has not revealed, but reportedly new PCs will be sold later for a Netbook.

In the package was already integrated CPU memory controllers and graphics for multimedia processing more quickly and freeing bandwidth to the processor can communicate with other components. Integrated graphics processor in the N450 is capable of handling high-definition graphics 720p.

Netbook is powered by Atom N450 will be integrated with operating system Windows 7, Windows XP or Linux. At the same time, Intel also launched two Atom processors are aimed at small-sized desktop PC (small form factor) at affordable prices. Both chips are single-core Atom D410 and D510 dual-core which work at 1.66 GHz clock speed and includes a respective cache 512KB and 1MB. D410 consume 10 watts of power, while the D510 took power for 13 watts.

Save Your Data on Scratched CD

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

At the present time data storage media the most secure, durable, large capacity and cheap is a CD (Compact Disc) and DVD. With the price of 52x Drive is practically CD Writer relatively inexpensive almost a prerequisite for the completeness of a PC. Market sold various brands and materials CD-R / CD-RW with the quality and price range.

Now what if we have a CD with data, files – important files in it can not be read because it scratched, moldy, etc. On occasion this time will only give priority to writer’s tricks to save the data on scratched CDs.

Now how to save data on a scratched CD? See the physical CD is making sure no dirt on the bottom surface (the sensitive, which is read by optical CD-ROM). If there is dirt or light scratches cleaned with special cleaning fluid CDs, which are sold in bottles sold in cans. If this had been done and the dirt and scratches reduced or lost, then it is definitely all the data in the CD can be saved 98%, 1% of them depend on the quality of writing data to CDs and 1% more error correction quality of the CD-ROM drive.

What if the scratches are still there? To do so very necessary skill, diligence, experience and some specialized equipment and materials. The tool is typically used to polish the car; a polishing cloth is rotated by the drill. And the material is a paste used to polish a good car, especially in removing scratches (scratch) (picture 2). But do not worry; you do not need to practice for months – months. You just have to practice at the expense of the 1st CD deliberately carved.


Some important things to consider are:

  1. Backup all data in the CD that is still read by both the hard drive before polishing.
  2. Clean optical CD and CD-ROM with cleaning fluid if necessary.
  3. When pressing the polishing cloth was not cd excessive polish.
  4. Avoid polishing at 1 location, polish the entire surface evenly cd, so as not to form basins.
  5. Try the polished surface is always wet with polishing materials, do the intermittent (intermittent) with the intention of the material does not evaporate because the heat from the friction between the polishing cloth with the CD surface.
  6. After trying to copy the strokes reduced data had not read the hard disk drive.
  7. After all the data was saved, check data from corrupted files by opening the data. If OK, immediately backup to the new cd.
  8. CDs that have been polished should not be too long is not backed up, because the surface cd thinner and easier to mold, or if scratched again, the data is unlikely to have been saved.

    Hopefully this article may be one solution to save the data

If the closest distance (50 cm) you are still difficult to read / view, zoom or exaggerated display on the monitor until you feel comfortable to see it. So set the history of office chairs to sit with distance monitors.

2. Adjust monitor settings
Most monitors provide a menu to set the display monitor. Set menus contrast, brightness, color, etc. until you get the right mode for your monitor.

3. Use the LCD monitor
Consider replacing the monitor tube (CRT) with your LCD monitor. But the price of LCD monitors is much more expensive than CRT monitors. If there is still no budget to replace your monitor to LCD monitor, you can consider using anti-radiation filters. Not bad for the pain in the eye and radiation.

4. Rest your eyes
The most easy and inexpensive way to reduce the pain in your eye is resting your eyes periodically. That is, try the 1 hour you rest your eyes for 5 minutes did not look at the monitor.
