Casio plans to release in August a new-generation industrial handheld terminal, the DT-X30GR-30C, which will come equipped with wireless WAN connectivity that can be used to send and receive detailed info in real instance by parcel delivery drivers and office-based management staff. Wireless LAN and wireless PAN connectivity will come standard with the new device. With the Casio new-generation industrial handheld terminal’s 2.0-megapixel digital camera (with auto-focus), office staff will be able to receive, via wireless WAN, photos that drivers take of such things as the condition of consignments or signed delivery receipts, ensuring that they have an accurate appreciation of the situation on the ground.

The grip-type shape of Casio DT-X30GR-30C is easy to hold and has a microSD (SDHC) card slot for augmenting storage capacity. The Casio handheld terminal is IP64 rated dust/splash proof, can resist the shock of a fall of 1.5 meters, and has an operating temperature range of -20°C to +50°C. With these specifications, users can be confident in all outdoor conditions – in the rain, in bright sunlight, or in the extreme cold.

To supply discerning computer users with the very best desktop potential supply money can buy, Cooler Master is proud to unveil the UCP series – a breakthrough line of capability supplies engineered for users that depend on their computer systems day in and day out. The UCP stands for Ultimate Circuit Protection, and at the 5 and 3.3V output and 3.3V conversion stages, Cooler Master outfits the 900W and 1100W UCP capability supplies with no less than eight solid capacitors, which generate less heat and have a high tolerance for high frequencies and temperatures. As the winner of Tom’s Hardware’s Innovation award and now “80 Plus Silver” certified, that potential supply is built with top-of-the-line components and is a major feature in advance ability distribution.

The Cooler Master UCP Series comes in 700W, 900W, and 1100W flavors, and uses many of the same design elements used in high-end server ability supplies. The UCP series includes a soft-start circuit that prevents damage occurring to the capability supply due to any potential peaks in the AC voltage. By selecting only the finest components and including innovations like the soft-start circuit, Cooler Master has created the UCP Series to be the most durable desktop potential supply on the market. Cooler Master’s UCP will commence end of July in United Kingdom and Italy.

Asus has introduced the world’s most intelligent graphics card with the Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) EN9600GT MATRIX/HTDI/512M. Much like a sci-fi movie where the protagonists can do just about anything, the ROG MATRIX Series will allow gamers to unleash the true ability of graphics cards. that cutting-edge piece of hardware is equipped with the Asus Super Hybrid Engine for motorized detection and adjustments of voltage, clock setting, and fan speeds to achieve the ultimate in performance or maximum energy saving.

The Asus ROG Matrix Series is able to supply total hardware control and unleashes the true ability of the graphics card – all the while reducing unnecessary potential consumption. By combining three robust features: Super Hybrid Engine, Hybrid Cooler and iTracker, 26% performance boosts in 3D mode can be achieved; while 26% less capability consumption and 0dB cooling can plus be guaranteed under the 2D mode.

Taipei, Taiwan, June 26, 2008 – ASUS, producer of top quality graphic solutions, has today introduced the world’s most intelligent graphics card with the ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) EN9600GT MATRIX/HTDI/512M. Much like a sci-fi movie where the protagonists can do just about anything, the ROG MATRIX Series will allow gamers to unleash the true potential of graphics cards. that cutting-edge piece of hardware is equipped with the ASUS Super Hybrid Engine for self-moving detection and adjustments of voltage, clock setting, and fan speeds to achieve the ultimate in performance or maximum energy saving. Additionally, the Hybrid Cooler technology offers extreme or silent cooling according to gamer needs; while iTracker provides 5 scenario GUI modes for easy user selection for their preferred usage.

Up to 26% ability Saved & 0dB in 2D Mode
When in 2D modes, less capability consumption is mandatory, and the ASUS ROG EN9600GT MATRIX/HTDI/512M reduces GPU and memory voltages from 1.15V up to 0.9V and from 2V up to 1.772V respectively for energy savings and 0dB cooling. Besides that, the Auto Phase Switch technology is utilized to optimize the capability supplied by the ability phase for maximum ability efficiency. Such unprecedented voltage reduction; plus the Auto Phase Switch technology, lowers the ROG EN9600GT MATRIX’s potential consumption from 25.54W to 18.82W – an astonishing 26% in savings when compared to any other reference designed board**. Additionally, under 2D modes with Hybrid Cooler, fans will no longer be needed to dissipate heat away – therefore allowing users to enjoy absolute 0dB cooling for comfortable computing environments.

I told you back in August that Japan’s Rare Mono Shop was selling a USB-powered necktie with a built-in cooling fan. Now, they’ve come out with a 2.0 version. The new version is more stylish, more discreet (no more air grate on the knot — it’s now hidden), more controllable (it has an on-off switch) and more portable (you can unplug and run on battery power).

We wish Bill and Melinds Gates all the happiness in the world. Without Bill Gates and his great vision to manufacture computers easy for idiots like us, life for us would have been –only God knows.

A Harvard University dropout who ushered in the home computer age and made billions of dollars along the way will step down from Microsoft Corp, which he founded more than 30 years ago. Gates was born on October 28, 1955, the second of three children in a prominent Seattle family. His father, William Henry Gates Jr., was a partner at one of the city’s most forceful law firms, while his late mother, Mary, was an active charity fund-raiser and University of Washington regent. He was introduced to computers at the exclusive Lakeside Preparatory School, where the teen prodigy began programming in BASIC computer language on a primitive ASR-33 Teletype unit. Gates first programmed a computer at 13, creating a class scheduling system for his Seattle high school. Gates realized at an early stage of the PC revolution that software would be more critical than hardware. Working with boyhood friend Paul Allen, Gates founded Microsoft, naming the company for its mission of providing microcomputer software. Rest is history.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF) is the largest transparently operated charitable foundation in the world, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates in 2000 and doubled in size by Warren Buffett in 2006. The primary aims of the foundation are, globally, to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty, and, in the United States, to expand educational opportunities and access to knowledge technology. The foundation, based in Seattle, Washington, is controlled by its three trustees: Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and Warren Buffett. On May 4, 2006, the foundation received the Prince of Asturias award for universal Cooperation.
