Samsung NC20 powered by VIA NanoPosted by flibble in Linux, tags: samsung NC20 netbook via nano
It has been rumoured for a while that the upcoming NC20 netbook from Samsung will be powered by the VIA Nano processor, and this has now been confirmed in a press release by VIA. The Samsung NC20 will be powered by the VIA Nano U2250 which clocks at a respectable 1.3GHz on an 800MHz FSB. Now some people will see this as being slower than the Intel Atom found in Samsungs NC10 netbook, but the VIA Nano is said to be more efficient and faster at performing some tasks. It remains to be seen if this is the case. The NC20 will be priced at £379 with some retailers receiving stock by next week.

Nvida release ‘new’ GeForce GTS 250 with added deja-vuPosted by flibble in Linux, tags: nvidia gtx 250 8800 9800 video card graphicsI get a strange feeling that I’ve seen Nvidias new card before, and I’m not the only one. Turns out that Nvidia have been a little bit naughty and have renamed the 9800 GTX+ as the GTS 250. The GPU is exactly the same, but the card now has 1Gb of DDR3 RAM and only needs one power connector. Some of you may also remember that the 9800 GTX+ was not exactly a new card either. It was a rename of the 8800 GTS with slightly higher clock speeds and support for 3-way SLI and Hybrid SLI. The GTS 250 (aka 9800 GTX+, aka 8800 GTS) is set to be launched at around £100.

Technology and EducationPosted by flibble in Career Management, tags: Benefits Of Technology, Personal Computers, Voice MailsMacie asked:
Technology has completely changed the way mankind works. It has become an integral part of our lives and basic movements of man are now solely dependent upon technology. Technology has prepared mankind to work faster, smarter and allows the brain to concentrate on other exciting and challenging goals and milestones. The last decade is dedicated to the workmanship of technology and its impact on the human race. http://education.ixs.net/.It has given us sleeker cell phones, internet mobility on personal computers that can now fit in purses and an extensive database of knowledge called the internet. There is no avenue that technology has not touched. The complete workforce of mankind now works with technology. Thousands of industries and organizations around the world are now reaping the benefits of technology. And the education system is no exception to the rule. Technology has advanced and honed policies, streamlined academic activity and provided extensive reporting that was never possible before. Unique systems are now available in the market that immediately notify parents if their child or children arrive late at school and allow teachers to remotely send homework and grade papers online. Students across the world now search and prepare term papers all from simple browsing the internet at home or libraries. The basic principles of knowledge have not changed but the very edifice of obtaining and teaching has been revolutionalised by technology. Other benefits of technology in the education arena are the administration functionality that technology provides. It allows colleges and universities to monitor thousands of students at one given go and allow hundreds of students to register classes that are suitable to the teachers and the students by the click of a mouse. Elementary and high schools can use sophisticated voice mails to update parents of the progress of the updates of their children. Technology has also been able to successfully deploy dedicated networks across intranets within college domains to share documents and reports. The primal goal of these communications servers are designed to streamline information and messaging within the school system’s administrative and teaching community. This type of system can also help facilitate communications between various designated groups, clubs, the entire student body, and parents. Through this, everyone can stay better informed of special events and check the system frequently for any updates or changes that may have occurred. All student games, activities and personal information of students can be stored and retrieved at any given time by school officials. The other important benefit of technology in the education sector is the exponential increase in enrollment due to the availability of online courses. People do not have to be physically available to take part in an important meeting or class across the world. Simple bandwidth connectivity will do the job and allow thousands of people in one global sphere to easily communicate with people in dispersed areas. Hundreds of companies exist that build and provide applications and sophisticated softwares that further improve on the benefits of technology in education. Applications now provide video conferencing and remote logins to servers. For more information and details visit: http://education.ixs.net/content/Technology-and-education.php |
