Samsung Galaxy Note: Combined Smartphone and Tablet Android

Smartphone and tablet device that uses the Android operating system it now has become a trend. Because, in addition to a high level of comfort wear on any Android device, its function was already similar to a computer device. The choice fell on a smartphone device that has a small dimension, easy to carry, and compact, but the small screen, or on a tablet with a large screen is comfortable to use, but has a heavier weight. For those who want to have a device that is a combination of smartphones and tablet, you can choose Samsung Galaxy Note.

Note Galaxy? Yes! Samsung's own name this Note because the device can be said of a tablet that has a smartphone and dimensions can be used to make calls. This smartphone also has a screen size 5.3 inches is not small and comfortable to use like a tablet. Although not the first time, but Samsung manages to combine two devices into one Note Galaxy is very beautiful.

What distinguishes this one is the Smartphone's Pen. I had thought that this is a stylus that is used on resistive screen. In fact, I was wrong. S Pen is a special pen that can only be used (currently) on any Note Galaxy. However, S Pen not only serves to write it. There are several commands that can be done using this pen.

These devices use the System on Chip Samsung Exynos with fast dual core processor 1.4 GHz and 400 MP GPU Mali. RAM memory on the smartphone is paired with a capacity of 1 GB. For the internal memory, Samsung NAND Flash memory is pairing that can be worn by the user for 16 GB and there is also a size 32 GB. For its screen size, attached by 5.3-inch screen with 1280 x 800. Used smartphone operating system is Gingerbread with version 2.3.5. To upgrade to the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, Samsung also has a plan in the near future for this device.

AMD Radeon HD 7700 review

Soon after the emergence of HD 7970 XT Tahiti in late December 2011 and also his brother HD 7950 Pro Tahiti on January 31 yesterday, AMD seems to not want to miss the moment to dominate the graphics card is just like that. From the information developed, AMD will release their latest graphics cards based on the fabrication of 28 nm for the mainstream middle class this February. Graphics card that will have a codename Cape Verde with a series of HD 7770 and HD 7750 will be placed to replace its predecessor, Juniper XT (HD 5700/6700 series). Here are the specifications of the graphics card we got from a German website:
AMD Cape Verde

•     Built on TSMC's 28 nm process, ~ 1.5 billion transistors
•     10 Graphics CoreNext Compute Units (CUS)
•     640 stream processors
•     40 TMUs, 16 ROPs
•     128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface

AMD Radeon HD 7770

•     All CUS enabled, 640 stream processors
•     1 GB of GDDR5 memory
•     40 TMUs, 16 ROPs
•     1000-MHz core clock speed
•     1125 MHz (actual), 4500 MHz (effective) memory clock-speed
•     72 GB / s memory bandwidth
•     1280 GFLOP / s single-precision floating-point performance
•     Typical board power: 80W

AMD Radeon HD 7750

•     8 cus enabled, 512 stream processors
•     1 GB of GDDR5 memory
•     32 TMUs, 16 ROPs
•     800 MHz core clock-speed
•     1125 MHz (actual), 4500 MHz (effective) memory clock-speed
•     72 GB / s memory bandwidth
•     819 GFLOP / s single-precision floating-point performance
•     Typical board power: 55W

Unlike the Juniper XT using VLIW5 features 800 stream processors with a total of SP, this graphics card uses AMD Cape Verde GCN features (Graphics CoreNext) with a total of 640 SP. Although the quantity of Juniper XT has a number of shader more than Cape Verde, both theoretically this graphics card has a "raw power" are equivalent because both have different algorithms. However, AMD has a strategy to get better performance by giving the Core Clock speed is very high by default which is a 1GHz! This high rate can be achieved thanks to the use and fabrication of 28 nm is the highest ever record clock is used as the default specification / reference (non-OC) of a VGA.

Like seeing beautiful women, we got excited reading the specs of this latest MacBook Pro. However, there are some things that block. On its website, Apple said that this latest MacBook Pro batteries can last up to 7 hours. This value is quite good, but not as good as the previous value, which is 9 hours. According to our experience with a MacBook Pro last version before Sandy Bridge, even the battery can last up to 11 hours with the most efficient power setting. The decrease is quite significant.
MacBook Pro Specifications at a Glance

MacBook Pro 13 inch: most of this tiny type equipped with Intel's previous Core 2 Duo, but now both get Core i5 or i7. The most affordable,  equipped with 2.3 GHz processor dual-core Core i5, 4GB of RAM, and 320GB HDD. A slightly more expensive version,  equipped 2.7GHz dual-core Core i7 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB HDD. Both types are no longer using the discrete graphics, but rely on Intel's HD 3000 integrated graphics. Do not be afraid, because according to our tests, the Intel HD 3000 faster than most mobile discrete graphics.

MacBook Pro 15-inch:  both variants of 15 "is now equipped with quad-core Core i7. A cheaper version uses 2.0GHz quad-core processor Core i7, AMD Radeon HD6490M with 256MB VRAM, 4GB RAM, and 500GB HDD. Higher, equipped with quad-core 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB VRAM, 4GB RAM, and HDD750GB. When ordering, you can replace the HDD is mounted with a 128GB SSD, 256GB, or 512GB. Of course, at an additional cost.

17-inch MacBook Pro: This variant is not much faster than version 15 ", but you get the big screen with a resolution up to 1920 x 1200 pixels. With funds you will get a quad-core 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB VRAM, 4GB RAM, and HDD750GB. Of course, optional SSD available options as at 15 ".

Please go to the Apple Store to view this latest line of MacBook Pro. However, you can not buy it from there. Apple stores only give information "Pending for agency approval."

EyeAsteroids - Playing Games with Eyes Only

Controller technology developments in the gaming world was remarkable. Although most of the game is still controlled by conventional physical controller, but the gaming industry continues to innovate for the future controller spawn more sophisticated. Motion-sensor device Kinect class may be the most tangible evidence of achievement. But technology is a dynamic concept that is not possible to stop to grow. Controller technology continues to grow in the direction that might not have thought of by previous gamers. Do not need a physical controller, no need to move the body. You only need your eyeballs!

This concept offered by Tobii Technologies has just released the arcade "future" them - EyeAsteroids. In contrast with other arcade machines that are played with a joystick, EyeAsteroids only requires the movement of your eyes as the main controller. The core game is simple, you are only required to destroy all the asteroids that come to threaten the Earth. No need to rush to move the hand to make sure every stone giant is destroyed. In EyeAsteroids, you only need to look any asteroid that was on the screen to do so. Wow!

Tobii Technologies itself was built 50 machines EyeAsteroids are each worth approximately U.S. $ 15,000. The main purpose of birth Arcade machine is of course not to benefit financially, but rather the exhibition of the potential ability of the controller in the future. EyeAsteroids may be the first of a series of concepts that have been prepared Tobii Technologies. They plan to bring this technology even further to produce the experience of playing video games more intense and intimate, such as presenting AI reactions are more responsive than our eyes. Amazingly, they also have shown that this concept can be applied to all the devices today's technology, from notebooks to glasses.

Tobii Technologies demonstrated attainment of the gameplay mechanism to open the way for a more varied and richer for the gaming industry in the future.
