Windows 7 Build 7127 Is Live
Windows 7 RC's public availability might have slowed Microsoft down a tad when it comes to the development process of the next iteration of Windows 7, but the Redmond company has rapidly gained back any lost momentum.

16.5.2009Windows 7 build 7127 leaked
Redmond is still running low on Joe the plumbers as another Windows 7 leak surfaces today. This time around it's the second RTM branch build to
leak, 7127. Approximately a month after 7106 leaked. The build string is 7127.0.090507-1820 meaning it was compiled just over a week ago so it's
still fresh off the blocks. Microsoft is progressing steadily with the RTM branch and company insiders have indicated the software giant is well on
target to finalise the RTM build over the summer. Our guess? Late June or early July. Microsoft is expected to announce general availability of
Windows 7 for before the Christmas period, cashing in on holiday PC purchasers.

15.05.2009Google goes for a new look on Korean site
Google is trying out a new
look on its South Korean
http://www.google.co.kr/ig?sp=
korea&hl=ko>Web site that goes
further from the company's
famously clean design than
anything tried before.
Google has been quietly
tinkering with the design of
its Web site for some time.
Most recently, the company
added a toolbar with text
links at the top of its
flagship site, just above the
company's logo and search
bar. The new site design
introduced in South Korea
replaces the toolbar with an
array of logos -- including a
row of animated icons that
expand when the mouse rolls
over them -- that add a dose
of color, and clutter, to the
site.
Eric Schmidt,
the chairman and CEO of
Google, announced the new look
during a keynote speech
Wednesday at the Seoul Digital
Forum, saying Korean users
were ready for the new design,
which he described as more
sophisticated. Schmidt didn't
say whether the company
planned to use the same design
on other Google sites. ..

30.05.2007Windows 7 build 7137 leaked
Barely two weeks after build 7127 leaked we have another fresh leak of Windows 7, build 7137. This time around the build tag is 7137.0.090521-1745
meaning this build is only a week old. As ever the build is available at the usual places but it might be worth waiting until RTM as a lot of Windows
7 torrents have been hit by malware and viruses recently. Microsoft is still on target to finalise Windows 7 over the summer with a general
availability this fall. Un-official wallpaper not included by default, thanks to djlegion for the screenshots.

02.07.2009Samsung releases 70-inch LCD panel
Samsung Electronics grabbed
more than 50 percent share in
the 40-inch or larger LCD TV
panel in the global market in
the first quarter, according
to data released yesterday. On
the same day, the company
launched a 70-inch high
definition LCD TV, PAVV LED
70, in the domestic market,
which analysts say will
consolidate its leading status
in the luxury TV market.
According to the data by
market research group
DisplaySearch, Samsung
recorded 1.6 million shipments
of 40-inch or larger LCD
panels in the first quarter,
or 50.2 percent of the total
3.2 million shipments.

14.06.2007Sony announces 80GB PS3...for Korea
Well we have to admit,
we sure didn't see this one
coming. There have been rumors
of a higher capacity
PlayStation 3 for several
months now, but no one figured
that the first 80GB model
would drop not in Japan or the
US, but South Korea.
And yet that's
exactly what's scheduled to
go down
http://www.playstation.co.kr/p
s_community/com_news_view.sce?
sid=8942>June 16th, when the
previously-denied,
Euro-spec'ed PS3 (but no 20GB
or 60GB models, it seems) will
hit the land of Samsung and LG
for a pre-tax 518,000 won --
or just $556.
While
we don't want to get your
hopes up, we can't help but
think that this move bodes
well for US consumers too;
after all, the 80 GB version
is already through the FCC,
meaning that price drops and
unimaginable storage space
could be right around the
corner.

21.05.2007Hynix Creates Fastest 1-Gigabyte Mobile DRAM
Hynix Semiconductor Inc.
announced Sunday that it has
developed the world's fastest
and smallest 1-gigabyte mobile
DRAM and plans to start mass
production in early 2008.
The new
chip, mainly used in mobile
phones, operates at the
maximum speed of 200 MHz and
is capable of processing 1.6
gigabytes of data per second,
the world's second-largest
computer memory chip maker
said.
"Of the 1-gigabyte DRAMs
developed so far, it is the
smallest and fastest," Hynix
said in a statement. "It can
be applied to ultra-small
electronic devices and memory
products."
The new DRAM also has a
"one-chip solution" that
allows its data processing
speed and method to be adapted
to a device using the chip,
the company said.
Hynix said demand for
the new chip is surging as
handheld devices are getting
smaller and faster and their
capacity is becoming
larger.

12.08.2007Technology detects fake works of art
US researchers are harnessing digital technology to help differentiate original works of art from forgeries. Penn State scientists James Z Wang,
associate professor of information sciences and technology, and Jia Li, associate professor of statistics, have published their work in the July issue
of IEEE Signal Processing.
The team's findings are based on 101 high-resolution greyscale scans of paintings by Vincent van Gogh
provided by the Van Gogh and Kröller-Müller museums in the Netherlands.

14.07.2008Sun's ODF plugin for MS Office now available
The Sun ODF Plug-in is an
extension to Microsoft Office
that allows it to read and
write ISO standard ODF files.
It supports Office 2000, XP,
and 2003, and works on Windows
XP and Vista. It adds to MS
Office the ability to read and
write ODF text, spreadsheet,
and presentation files (.odt,
.ods, and .odp) - the ISO
standard editions of MS Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint files.
Furthermore, ODF text
files (.odt) can be made the
default format for MS-Word
thanks to this plug-in (and
double-clicking on an ODF text
file on the desktop would
automatically open it in
MS-Word).
Addressing
the accessibility concerns of
existing MS-Office users was
one of the key reasons behind
Sun's development of the ODF
plug-in, and I have been one
of several folks involved in
testing the accessibility of
this plug-in (along with
several beta testers whose
employees with disabilities
were likewise doing
accessibility testing).

04.07.2007CRT Monitors Dying Off As LG, Samsung Mull Exit
The CRT monitor continues to die off, according to market figures released last week by DisplaySearch. In a related report, both LG and Samsung are
considering pulling out of CRT displays.
The analyst firm found that of the 45.4 million monitors sold during the second quarter,
just 4.6 million or 10.2 percent were CRTs. The firm found that CRT sales have dropped 11 percent in the second quarter alone, and by 46 percent
compared to the prior year. LCD monitors, meanwhile, represent 88.2 percent of overall sales, and have increased 34 percent versus a year ago. The
remainder went to all-in-one PCs.
With display manufacturers becoming more and more invested into LCDs, manufacturer commitment
for CRTs seems to be on the wane. The Korea Times
reported Monday that both LG and Samsung appear to be phasing out their CRT television lines, shifting their emphasis to LCDs.
Although CRT TVs and monitors are not interchangeable, they do use common components.

11.09.2007Samsung Develops World's Fastest and Largest 2.5" MLC-based 256GB SSD
Samsung Electronics, the world leader in advanced memory technology, announced today that it has developed the worlds fastest, 2.5-inch, 256 Gigabyte
(GB ) multi-level cell (MLC) based solid state drive (SSD) using a SATA II interface at the fifth annual Samsung Mobile Solution Forum held at the
Westin Taipei Hotel. Samsungs new 256GB SSD is also the thinnest drive with the largest capacity to be offered with a SATA II interface.
With a sequential read speed of 200 megabytes per second (MB/s) and sequential write speed of 160MB/s, Samsungs MLC-based 2.5-inch 256GB SSD
is about 2.4 times faster than a typical HDD.
Furthermore, the new 256 GB SSD is only 9.5millimeters (mm) thick, and measures
100.3x69.85 mm.
Once introduced, the Samsungs 256GB SSD will mark the largest capacity SSD from the global market leader in SSD
sales, effectively eliminating density as a barrier to SSD adoption in the consumer space.

26.05.2008Mobile WiMAX approved, Korea says
WiBro, a variant of the WiMAX wireless internet standard, has been approved as a global standard by the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU), according to Korean government sources quoted in South Korea media. The WiBro
technology, which is designed to provide wireless broadband internet connections to mobile users, was developed by the Korean government and local
telecommunications companies such as Samsung and PosData.
The ITU formally accepted technologies underlying WiBro as
international standards for third generation mobile telecommunications at a meeting in Geneva late last week, the reports said. WiBro is Korea's name
for a mobile version of the WiMAX wireless internet technology. ITU announcements do not appear to mention WiBro by name, but instead refer to
acceptance of technology related to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) transmission protocol, which underlies both WiBro and
WiMAX.
"It is a milestone in the history of Korea's telecommunications technology and will help us maintain the front runner
position in the global race for next-generation mobile technologies," Song Yoo-jong, a Korean government official told the
Korea Herald.

28.02.2008Music 2.0: Engineers unveil MT9 format
Korean computer engineers are introducing a new digital music format that has a six-channel audio equalizer and separate controls on the sound volume
for each musical instrument, such as guitar, drum, base and voice. The new format, which has a file extension format of MT9 and a commercial title of
"Music 2.0", is poised to replace the popular MP3 file format as the de-facto standard of the digital music source, its inventors say.
The MT9 technology was selected as a candidate item for the new digital music standard at the last regular meeting of Motion Picture Experts Group
(MPEG), the international body of the digital music and video industry.
Ham says that the music industry should change its attitude to the
market as music is becoming a digital service, rather than a physical product. Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are both interested in equipping
their mobile phones with an MT9 player and their first commercial products are likely to debut early next year, he said.
Unlike other
digital formats exclusively used by big companies, Audizen (the venture company behind the development) allows users to copy the MT9 files, making it
a more attractive format. "It's like having a CD or cassette tape. Once you buy it, you can lend it to your friends. We don't want to be too
fussy about DRM (digital right management),'' said Ham Seung-chul, chief of Audizen.
