The new algorithm has potential to increase the efficiency of the software testing process across systems........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2009/free-online-digital-photography-magazine.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2009/free-online-digital-photography-magazine.html Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:53:05 GMT Here's a stocking stuffer type of gift for the digital photographer compliments of "Whatdigitalcamera.com". ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2009/automatically-record-every-phone-call.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/12-2009/automatically-record-every-phone-call.html Thu, 24 Dec 2009 04:57:32 GMT This USB Recording Box may look like nothing, but it’s chunky enough to automatically record all the telephone conversations coming in and going out from your building. Throw in some sophisticated call management and related information software, backup and line testing smarts and you’ve got yourself a right fancy package. And available in multi-colours ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/11-2009/cooking-on-the-road.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/11-2009/cooking-on-the-road.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:18:20 GMT People and lawmakers complain that drivers don"t need additional distractions from the task at hand and hence love to crack down on talking on the phone, texting, or even putting a cell near one"s head. As such, as hard as it is top believe, one company believes there will be a market for those individuals who wish to make a grilled cheese sandwich on their way to work.

There are no laws on the books about driving and cooking sandwiches so why not? The Road Pro 12-Volt Sandwich Maker let"s anyone with a car become a quick-order chef. The unit plugs directly into the cigarette ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/cheat-sheets-galore-for-free-just-print-and-go.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/cheat-sheets-galore-for-free-just-print-and-go.html Mon, 28 Sep 2009 03:55:37 GMT Oh, boy, here"s a treasure.

A new Tel Aviv University tool could either confirm your suspicions or better yet, set your mind at rest. Prof. Eyal Ben-Dor and his Ph.D. student Dr. Sandra Chudnovsky, of TAU's Department of Geography have developed a sensor called "Dust Alert" - the first of its kind - to help families and authorities monitor the quality of the air they breathe. Like an ozone gas or carbon monoxide meter, it measures the concentration of small particles that may contaminate the air in your home. Scientific studies on "Dust Alert" appeared recently in the journal Science of the Total Environment, Urban Air Pollution: Problems, Control Technologies and Management Practices........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/leica-m9-digital-rangefinder-camera-introduced.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/leica-m9-digital-rangefinder-camera-introduced.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:17:14 GMT I recently said that some of the latest P&S digital cameras were mimicking the appearance of rangefinder film cameras of the ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/dual-simulation-improves-crash-performance.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/dual-simulation-improves-crash-performance.html Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:59:50 GMT Crash tests often produce startling results. A new simulation process which factors in deformation during production as well as preliminary damage can predict the results of a crash test more accurately than ever. There are components that save lives: if a car rolls over during an accident, the 'B-pillar' plays a key role. It forms one of the connections between the floor and roof of the vehicle and is designed to prevent the passenger cell from deforming too much. The materials from which the B-pillar is manufactured therefore need to meet very exacting requirements: to save fuel they need to be ultra-lightweight, yet at the same time need to be tremendously strong and must not break. Yet what does the optimum component actually look like? With the aid of countless experiments, simulations and crash tests, the auto industry has been getting nearer to answering this question. Now Fraunhofer scientists are providing further impetus to development........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/8-2009/rumors-of-a-bmw-electric-scooter.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/8-2009/rumors-of-a-bmw-electric-scooter.html Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:59:50 GMT Unnamed sources at BMW report that a new electric scooter could debut at an upcoming motorcycle show sometime in late 2010 and put in production in 2011, according to Spain’s Solo Scooter website. If the rumor mill is right, this new scooter would sport a lithium ion battery pack, have a range of about 155 miles or three hours of continuous use and a top speed of 75 miles per ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/10-awesome-flash-animated-interactive-websites.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/10-awesome-flash-animated-interactive-websites.html Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:56:57 GMT Ever wanted to draw a song or discover more about how the ancient Egyptians mummified their dead? How about learning about cocaine from Pablo the pooch, who just happens to be a talking doggy drug mule? No? Then what about connecting up the stars to create your own constellation then see it wrap around your screen in 3D?

No more digging dead McNuggets out from under the spacebar, or wiping old rancid Mountain Dew stains from the numpad, just drop the whole dang thing into the sink and give it a good scrubbing. Lovely. It’s also dishwasher safe, and anti-bacterial, which puts it one step ahead of Windows Vista, eh? ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2009/png-compressor-makes-your-images-teeny.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2009/png-compressor-makes-your-images-teeny.html Fri, 27 Feb 2009 04:25:56 GMT PNG Gauntlet is a .NET freeware program that optimises the size of PNG image files. Actually it’s a front end for the PNGOUT command line program, but the end result is the same – your images get made smaller. Oh and most importantly, it does this impressive feat without losing image quality. If you have a lot of images and file size and disk space is important to you, then you’ll probably want to take a look at ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/i-o-data-fills-dvd-burner-hole-in-netbooks.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/i-o-data-fills-dvd-burner-hole-in-netbooks.html Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:22:23 GMT Netbooks are all the rage, and who can blame them. They are cheap, light, small, and ultra-portable. They do lack certain amenities such as DVD/CD drives and burners. It does make sense then that drive manufacturers would rush to try and fill the holes dug by netbooks, and that is exactly what I-O data is trying to do with their new Slim DVD-Burner. The DVRP-U8XLE2 is a slim, well-designed, and light DVD burner that can handle all of your media needs when you need your netbook to do a bit ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/functional-notebooks.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/1-2009/functional-notebooks.html Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:21:16 GMT Omg, I’ve got it!!!!

In classrooms and in lectures I use tablets for both information delivery and capture. In fact, hone of my biggest problems being an Apple Fanboy is that (for now) there is no MacBook tablet. If there were, I would be in heaven. The Fujictsu ST6012 might just be the piece of equipment that wins me back to the PC world. It is a serious ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/10-2008/lg-kp500-yet-another-affordable-and-shiny-smartphone.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/10-2008/lg-kp500-yet-another-affordable-and-shiny-smartphone.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:20:35 GMT LG has recently announced an affordable yet stylish touch screen Smartphone known as the LG KP500.

It''s designed for digital SLR users (although old-school non-digital SLRs will fit in just fine), and features a quilted satin lining and pockets for memory cards or other accessories. It''s made from high-quality polyurethane and the red version shown above will be available in November, with navy and black bags out by Christmas. They''re expected to cost just $40 ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2008/trekstor-matches-two-of-my-passions-data-and-beer.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2008/trekstor-matches-two-of-my-passions-data-and-beer.html Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:56:59 GMT I am all for multi-function devices. I have a printer / scanner / copier, I carry a Swiss-Army knife, and own an iPhone. If I am going to plop money down for a gadget or gizmo, it better do more than one thing.
