Have Plasmas Really Lost their Gravity and Charm?

A visit to a TV showroom is enough to let one know how far behind one is, if one is still thinking about a Plasma TV. Now is an age of LCD TVs. Most people looking for a TV, want to check out one among the Top 1080p LCD TVs. What's so special about LCD TVs?

Plasmas which were hogging the limelight till recently have been replaced by LCD TVs. Plasma TVs which ruled the roost is now losing its preference among the consumers. When Plasma first made their appearance, there was such a craze that people joined the bandwagon without actually knowing the product inside out. It is surprising that how swiftly it's lost its charm.

Both Plasma TVs and LCD TVs score points in terms of durability, affordability, performance, elegance and so on. And the only issue that keeps Plasmas behind is the burn-in issues. But this issue has been dealt with in the new models that are flooding the market now.

VeryPC Intros Energy Efficient Fulwood Mini Desktop PC


Sheffield-based computer manufacturer VeryPC has recently introduced the energy efficient Fulwood Media PC. Small in size rather like the Mac Mini and the Shuttle X27, Fulwood promises to exceed Energy Star requirements by a whole 75 percent. According to VeryPC, while all that's needed to be Energy Star certified is a power consumption of 65 watts during idle mode, Fulwood only uses 16 watts when idling. To compare, Shuttle X27 uses 23 watts in idle mode. VeryPC claims that in spite of the low energy consumption, Fulwood is a high-performance computer that can be four times as fast compared to other systems.

Now available for pre-order and will start shipping by October, Fulwood features Intel P9500 2.53GHz dual core CPU, 250GB HDD, rewritable DVD drive, 2GB RAM, DVI, and surround sound audio. It also comes pre-installed with Windows Vista Premium. Optional specs include internal Bluetooth, digital/hybrid TV tuner, and WiFi, although if you choose to add them, the idle consumption goes up to 19 watts (which is still good). The diminutive Fulwood Media PC will has a price range of $1,700 to $2,200, depending upon the specs.

Memorex intros $269 MVBD 2510 Blu-ray player

Right, so we're pretty stoked about having one more option in the sub-$300 Blu-ray deck club, but the lack of Profile 2.0 (which is only the latest, the most up to date profile, you know) is a real bummer. That aside, the BonusView-enabled MVBD-2510 doesn't seem like a half bad attempt from Memorex. It features audio decoding for Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution along with Master Audio bitstream output. You'll also find 5.1 analog audio outputs, a white LED display and a few brushed metal accents to jazz it up externally. Look for it this November beside a whole host of new Memorex cleaning supplies.

NVIDIA Unveils GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Graphics Card


NVIDIA has already slashed the price of its GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 graphics cards in order to better compete with AMD's bang-for-the-buck-beating ATI Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 cards, and it's now taken things one step further by introducing a new, slightly improved model. While it likely won't cause anyone to ditch their existing GTX 260, NVIDIA is betting that the 216 stream processors of its new GTX 260 Core 216 (up from 192 before) will be enough to win over at least a few new performance-happy gamers. Apart from that upgrade, it seems the only other real improvement you can expect is a boost to 72 texture filtering units (up from 64), but HotHardware found that those tweaks were just enough to deliver some fairly substantial performance gains, with the GTX 260 Core 216 outpacing the Radeon HD 4870 in the "vast majority" of its tests. Best of all, the Core 216 will also apparently work just fine in an SLI configuration with an original GTX 260 and, at an MSRP of $279, it doesn't demand too much of a premium either.

NVIDIA HAMMERED WITH LAWSUIT

Graphics giant NVIDIA has been hit by lawsuit which claims that the company breached US securities laws by concealing for at least eight months the fact that its GPUs were affected by a serious thermal defect.

The lawsuit, brought against NVIDIA by New York law firm Shalov, Stone, Bonner & Rocco, claims that CEO Jen-Hsun Huang and CFO Marvin Burkett knew about the existence of the GPU problem as early as November 2007 but that no public announcement was made July 2 2008. Following this announcement NVIDIA’s stock price tumbled by over 30%.

The lawsuit is seeking class action status against NVIDIA and unspecified damages.

What seems to be a cornerstone of the case is the fact that HP has issued BIOS updates in an attempt to minimize the effect of the flaw eight months before NVIDIA made an announcement to investors.

COMCAST to "LIMIT" Cable Internet Customers' Broadband Network Usage

On August 28, 2008, Comcast announced that it would be limiting customers' internet usage starting on October 1st. Comcast is currently the largest cable network operator in the United States. This "limitation" is said to "ensure that quality service will continue for the majority of their subscribers". Comcast is placing a ceiling on it's monthly data usage equivalent to 250 gigabytes for each residential high-speed customer.

Comcast's position is that if a customer would exceed the 250 gigabyte ceiling, and is viewed as a "volume user", the Customer Security Assurance group could be notifying them regarding their excessive use. Additionally, customers that exceed 250 gigabytes twice in one year "could have their internet service terminated for a period of one year"!

Here in the U.S., internet subscribers have been impressioned to believe that when they pay a flat monthly fee, their usage is unlimited. Due to the increases in internet usage and the downloading of music and video popularity, Comcast is considering a billing program solely based upon "Volume Of Internet Usage".

Viewership For Online TV Doubles


Online TV viewing has been increasing in popularity. About one- fifth of American households who use the Internet watch television online, double the number from 2006, The Conference Board and TNS said today.

Being able to watch content on their own time and their own convenience are the main reasons people go online. Other reasons include skipping commercials and portability. About 72 percent of households log on for entertainment purposes daily, and in one in ten cities entertainment is the most popular Internet activity.

"Most consumers are pressed for time and require flexibility in their daily schedules and TV viewing habits," says Lynn Franco, Director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center.

"Being able to watch broadcasts on their own time and at their convenience are clearly reasons why we are seeing a greater number turning to the Internet. And, it is the reason why we would expect to see this trend continue."

The most popular types of programming viewed online are news, drama, comedy, reality shows and sports, with user generated content trailing close behind. Among people connecting to online programming, 43 percent view the news, 39 percent watch dramas, 34 percent watch comedies, 23 percent watch reality shows, 16 percent view sports, and 15 percent view user generated content.

Other categories attracting viewers include previews, additional content from popular shows, soap operas and advertisements.

Almost nine out of ten online TV viewers watch online broadcasts at home. About 15 percent watch at work, and 6 percent watch TV online from other locations, including the library or a friend's home.

"The shift from appointment TV to content on demand is well underway," says Michael Saxon, Senior Vice President, Brand and Communications, TNS.

"Fundamentally, consumers expect content to be available when they want it, and on the screen of their choice - TV, PC, or mobile. For consumers, PCs enhance content on demand from simply time-shifting to place-shifting. Online content can be viewed in any room in the house, or at work or school."

The most common ways to watch broadcasts online are streaming video, used by 68 percent of online TV viewers, and free download, used by 38 percent of viewers.

The report is based on a quarterly survey of 10,000 households.

Microsoft’s Answer To Google Docs Hits 1 Million Users


Microsoft has announced that its Office Live Workspace Beta has reached its one millionth user. The service, which serves as both an extension to Office and a direct competitor to Google Docs and startups like Zoho, was announced last winter and opened in public beta last March.

When we originally covered Live Workspace, we criticized its underwhelming web-based text editor. Rather than focusing its efforts on improving webtop document editing, which is offered by rival Google Docs, Microsoft is trying to bolster its Office desktop suite with Live Workspace. Users are encouraged to edit their documents through the nearly-ubiquitous Office products like Word, with Live Workspace syncing changes to an online archive and other contributors.

The site does offer an online editor, but Microsoft doesn’t go out of its way to point it out - during the intial announcement it wasn’t clear that one existed at all. The strategy makes sense for Microsoft: with an overwhelming monopoly on desktop publishing software and almost no presence with web-based collaborative solutions, it would rather present this as an bonus feature for Office rather than a direct competitor to Google Docs - the longer people think they need desktop software to edit their documents, the better.

200Hz LCD TV: "World's First" by Sony and Samsung


We already caught sight of Sony's Bravia Z4500 LCD TV with 200Hz "MotionFlow" before and after it was officially unveiled at IFA, but it wasn't the only such set on the scene, with Samsung also touting a "world's first" 200Hz LCD TV of its own. Apparently, the distinction is that Samsung supposedly had the world's first prototype, while Sony will actually be the first to market with one. All this is also slightly further complicated by the fact that Sony and Samsung have each also already introduced 240Hz LCD TVs in Japan, although we're chalking those up to the usual 50 / 60Hz, NTSC / PAL differences. One thing that is clear, however, is that both sets sure are impressive.
