Oh yeah, there’s another difference. While the Asus UL20A sells for about $540, the Asus UL20FT went on sale today on sale today for about $630. So is it worth the extra $90?

The folks at Notebook Review took the new model for a spin, and they were pretty impressed with its performance. It’s hardly the fastest machine around, but it definitely scored higher on most tests than some other thin and light laptops in its category. That includes the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e which I recently reviewed.

On the other hand, while the integrated graphics are good enough for watching HD videos, you’re probably not going to want to use the Asus UL20FT as a gaming machine. And Notebook Review got just 4.5 hours of run time out of the battery[asus batteries], which is about 90 minutes less than the “up to 6 hours” of battery life Asus promises.

That said, Asus tends to load its laptops with a power management utility. While I got just over 4 hours of run time in “high performance” mode on the UL20A last year, I managed to get about 6 hours of battery life in “battery saving” mode[asus laptop battery]. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could get similar results by tweaking the settings on the Asus Ul20FT.

So is it worth the extra $90? That depends on whether you need a little more power than the Asus UL20A can offer. But I wouldn’t expect to find an enormous difference in performance. But I suspect Asus will soon start phasing out the UL20A, which means the UL20FT will be the only option available. I should also point out that when the Asus UL20A first launched it was priced at $599. So don’t be surprised if Asus eventually lowers the price on the UL20FT as well.

On the other hand, a number of 11.6 inch laptops with AMD Nile-based chipsets have also hit the streets this summer, with similar prices and higher performance graphics processors. So the UL20FT has some competition from notebooks such as the Dell Inspiron M101z, Acer Aspire One 721, and Acer Aspire 1551.

There are some benefits of VoIP. The first one, it is effective in the cost. As people have already known, VoIP is cheap since people are able to reconfigure the phone system on the computer without the help of a technician. It means people will be able to reprogram the phone system without hassle. For those who run small business, VoIP will be very profitable since business owner will be able to easily manage his employee by the phone system. Business owner will be able to accommodate the need to interact with his employee cheaply and effectively. He may add, move, and change his employee without he needs to meet his worldwide employee in person. But, small business voip phone system is quite different from traditional phone system. Business owner will need to invest on the equipment and technical resources as the installation and the management of the IP-based phone system are quite complicated. Thus, business owner may require somebody with high skill in IT and programming. However, the need of such an employee in a company has no longer be something uncommon. So, it will not give much burden in monthly employee salary. Furthermore, such an employee will be very useful to maintain all computer systems inside the office.

Instead of giving benefit to small business owner, VoIP also gives benefit to traveler, commuter, and remote worker. It is because the virtual extension of internet protocol can always be connected to the phone system inside the company as long as they are able to connect their laptop with the internet. IP-enabled phone and softphone are the common types of VoIP for business and private. Softphone itself is a software which needs to be installed on PC or laptop before it can do its function as phone system. For addition for cost-effective VoIPs benefit for small business is that it can connect all divisions inside an office to a single voice mail system. Unlike traditional phone system, there is no need to separate data network to voice infrastructure as VoIP phone system can do both at once.

Today, we will discuss the biggest disadvantage that laptop computers have, when compared to desktop computers….OVERHEATING !!

Many people have problems with their laptop computers shutting down unexpectedly, restarting randomly, “Blue Screening” (BSOD), becoming extremely hot to touch and more. When people experience those symptoms, many mistake them for: spyware, driver problems, viruses and more.

The GOOD thing is, we will teach you how to prevent your laptop from overheating, so if you ever experience any of the aforementioned problems, you know that HEAT won’t be the cause!

Laptops are smaller than desktops, thus have much less room for cooling. The cooling fans are usually located near the middle bottom of the laptop, which causes heat from the cooling fans to be blown out of the bottom of the computer.

This explains why your lap gets “warm” or “hot” when sitting a laptop on it for long periods of time. That actually contributes to your laptop overheating. Sitting your laptop on any “cloth” surface such as bed covers, clothing, carpet, etc; can cause insufficient heat dissipation and can cause your laptop to overheat. Once again, an overheating laptop can shut down, restart randomly, Blue Screen and/or cause permanent and expensive hardware damage.

Here are some suggestions to prevent overheating:

1.) Use a “Laptop Cooling Pad.”

These small devices attach to your laptop via USB, and contain fans that aim upward into your laptop vents, helping to cool the CPU down. They also work very well for keeping your lap cool!

—–

2.) Buy a can of “Compressed Air.”

These cans can be found in virtually any big chain store; Walmart, Target, Radio Shack, etc. Attach the “straw” to the can. Next, flip your laptop upside down and blow the compressed air into the cooling vents.

Continue to press the nozzle for the air to escape, while moving the can around in circular motions to clean any dust, debris, lent, or any other foreign object that may be obstructing the flow of air or cooling process. Do this regularly, at least once every 1-2 months.

—–

3.) Remove your laptop battery when it’s plugged into a power outlet.

This will help preserve your battery’s life, and prevent excessive heat buildup that occurs while continuing to charge your laptop battery after it has been fully charged. Since the battery is a conductor of heat, it helps to remove it when it is fully charged.

—–

4.) Avoid exposing your laptop to direct sunlight - in high temperatures for long periods of time.

Remember this statement if nothing else: “When it comes to computer components, heat KILLS!”

—–

5.) Ensure your cooling fan works at all times!

If it is “obstructed”, or makes “strange and unusual” noises, get it checked out immediately. The cooling fan(s) cool down the CPU and blow the heat away from your computer. It is sometimes necessary to expose the cooling fan assembly, by taking the laptop apart. This is necessary when replacing or servicing a laptop fan. The CPU must remain cool at all times. Without a CPU, your computer is nothing more than a lap anchor!

With the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK), programmers can make your ideas reality - even if you yourself don’t know the difference between a C-pointer and a SQLite database.

More than 200 iPhone application projects have already been posted on Elance.com. Check out these tips in this article to get your project kick-started.

We focus on the development of applications for the Apple iPhone, and we asked Nick Dalton, iPhone SDK specialist, to give Elance buyers a few tips on how to scope and post an iPhone Application project. Heres what he had to say:

The iPhone is an amazing device that invites creativity. If youre an iPhone owner Im sure youve said to yourself: I wish I could do that on my iPhone, or I have a great idea for an iPhone application.

With the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK), programmers can make your ideas reality even if you yourself dont know the difference between a C-pointer and a SQLite database. But before you go ahead and post your application idea to the buzzing iPhone project area on www.Elance,com. here are some pointers to get your project kick-started:

Study the Masters
Apple has already spent a lot of time thinking about how to present information and build interactive applications on the iPhone. The applications that come with the iPhone are the results of this research. Study them in great detail and try to apply as many of the user interface metaphors as possible to your application.

Not only will Apple be flattered if you imitate the user interface in their applications, but they actually mandate it to a great level of detail as described in their Human Interface Guidelines.

Dream in Color Screens
Most applications for the iPhone will be very visual. Therefore it makes sense to provide your requirements as screen images or sketches. You dont have to be a graphics artist to do this effectively. An iPhone programmer is looking for the following information:

- The type of layout each screen should have

- The buttons on the screens

- The actions associated with each button

The exact shape and format of your screen sketches is secondary. As long as they are readable, its a great way to communicate your application design to a programmer.

Be Realistic About Your Budget
Look at other iPhone projects posted on Elance to get a sense for the bid amounts on these projects. Read the descriptions of these projects to see if they seem to be larger or smaller projects than what you have in mind. If you set your budget to under $500 for something that is realistically going to take a programmer two months to implement, you are not likely to attract many bidders.

From a programming perspective, some things are easy to do on the iPhone, while other seemingly simple things are very time consuming. For example the beautiful cover-flow animation used in the music application on the iPhone should be simple to use in other applications. Unfortunately you cant. If you want this animation within your application it will have to be written from scratch, probably costing a one month of work.

If you talk to an approved iPhone developer early in your application design process you can learn how to get most out of your budget by avoiding the things that are really difficult to do on the iPhone.

Dont Be Too Original
iPhone users already know how to do certain tasks on their phones by convention. For example, if you tap an item in a list that has a > icon next to it, you expect to be taken to another screen with more information about that item. If your application needs similar functionality, dont be creative and come up with a new way to solve the same problem. Use the conventions already established by Apple.

New conventions are difficult to establish especially with the touch interface because there is no way to discover how your application works on the iPhone. Unlike a website where you can hover with the mouse pointer over areas that look like you can interact with them and a tool tip or the status bar will reveal some clues to you.

Know Your Limitations
The current version of the iPhone SDK, which is used to write applications for the iPhone, has many restrictions and limitations. Some of them are common sense, e.g. you cant send text messages from an application. Imagine an application that sends out thousands of text messages without your knowledge, who is going to pay the phone bill for that?

Other restrictions are maddening: applications cannot access the log of phone calls, or interact in any way with the calendar or the music stored on the iPhone.

To Apples credit, the iPhone SDK is an amazing piece of software especially given that it was publicly released as a Beta just three months ago. Some of the shortcomings listed above will likely be addressed in future releases of the SDK.

As a buyer with an idea for an iPhone application, you should educate yourself about these limitations before you spend too much time designing an application that is impossible to implement. Talk to a developer or company that specializes in iPhone development (and there are many available on Elance) and they can help you get on the right track from the start.

First off, let’s talk about the aesthetics. When you receive this new Apple MacBook in the mail as I did, you will immediately notice how solidly constructed and elegant this little machine is. Often, when you receive the laptop equivalent in a PC, you can tell it is not all created in a unified manner. MacBooks simply feel extremely well-constructed and this MacBook Pro MC374LL/A is no exception. It is a sturdy machine and you can tell this from the first touch.

But, when we purchase a laptop, aesthetics are certainly not enough. So, let’s take a look under this beautiful exterior and see what this new MacBook contains.

This Apple laptop features a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor which is extremely fast for a laptop of this size. The previous model contained a 2.26 GHz processor so this machine executes a small bit faster.

The screen on this laptop, a 13.3 inch LED-backlit display with 1280-by-800 resolution, is impeccable. Many people want larger screens in their laptops but it is amazing how this 13.3 inch screen serves your needs. I did not find myself wanting more screen real estate. Plus, for my uses, I want my laptop to be extremely portable and the smaller screens make for increased portability. Since this machine comes with an HDMI type adaptor, you can always connect laptop to TV when you want a larger screen.

And for portability, we also want long battery life as we find in many of today’s top rated netbooks . The MacBook Pro MC374LL/A provides just that with battery life lasting for a good 9 to 10 hours, an improvement over last years Mac and much better than many PC laptops out there, except for the ASUS laptops which achieve that and a little more.

Now, as we investigate the memory and storage of this machine, we will be left both satisfied and wanting.

The machine comes with 4GB of DDR memory which allows us to have many applications comfortably running at the same time. If we want to expand in the future (which we probably will), the MC374LL/A is expandable to 8GB.

The storage spacethe size of the hard driveis the one area we found wanting for more. With this machine, you only receive a 250GB hard drive. In today’s media rich environment, this is slightly less than we need. Here, there are two options. One, we can do an upgrade of the hard drive ourselves. Or, two, we can order a large external drive which is available for less than $100.

So, how do I sum up this Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A review?

It’s an amazing little machine that packs a lot of punch. At a current price of just over $1,100, Mac enthusiasts will certainly love this machine. However, if you are a PC person, you can get a machine with similar characteristics for about half the price.

The Phone Capacity
This handset comes with an internal phonebook that can store a seemingly limitless number of entries and fields. This feature even comes with the Photo-call capability so that every time a person calls you, his or her assigned picture will flash on your screen. Talk about personalising your phone! The Blackberry Pearl 9100 3G comes with an internal memory of 256 MB, which should be sufficient for you to store all your data files including videos, songs and images.

If you need more space, you can always expand the memory by up to 32 GB using a micro SD memory card. A bonus that would surely please a lot of users is that this phone already comes with a pre-installed 2 GB memory card for free.

The Appearance
The Blackberry Pearl 9100 3G is a pretty handy device, measuring only 108 x 50 x 13.3 mm and weighing a mere 93.6 grams. This makes it one of the most pocket friendly phones that you can easily use on the go. It is one of the most well designed Blackberry devices in the market today since the target demographic seems to be young professionals who want their phones to look stylish yet business like. It comes in several lustrous colours that you would surely love.

It is quite similar to the 9105 3G except for one thing the 9100 3G comes with a 20 key condensed QWERTY keyboard for efficient text entry, while the 9105 3G features a traditional alpha numeric keyboard. Of course, you cant forget the touch sensitive optical track pad which is very useful for navigating the Blackberry operating system version 5.0 that is pre-installed in this mobile phone. The TFT screen has a resolution of 360 x 400 pixels and colour support of up to 256K, resulting in vibrant screen imagery.

The Functionality
Similar to other Blackberry devices, functionality is a big attraction for the Blackberry Pearl 9100 3G. You can access Blackberry maps courtesy of the phones GPS with a-GPS (or assisted Global Positioning System) support. Another great thing about this phone is that it has a document editor that allows you to work with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Excel and Adobe PDF files. This makes it appealing as a business phone, especially if you take the phones organiser into consideration.

The phone comes with a 3.15 mega pixel camera with LED flash and autofocus to make the task of shooting quality pictures a breeze, even for beginners. Image resolution is remarkable at 2048 x 1536 pixels, which means that even if you have the photos developed, it would still look clear. You can also shoot videos with the phones built in camera.

Everyone expects great connectivity features from Blackberry, and you wont be disappointed with this one. It has Class 10 EDGE and GPRS, and supports HSDPA (for 3G networks) with speeds of up to 3.6 mbps. It also has Wi-Fi technology to help you connect to the internet.
