Vogue Fashion's Night Out Milan 2011: between you and VIP



Every promise is a promise tonight, the Vogue Fashion's Night of Milan; we were there to Fashion blog. Start by saying that it was impossible to follow all stores, events, celebrities and the styles that have animated the evening. Second point: you were wonderful and beautiful. The show you did you, with your flair for fashion and cool, but for the unlikely pairings As Well and the vibrant atmosphere and happy that you helped to create in this hot night in Milan. You were so many, really. And you were all different, all dressed up, each with the desire to appear and be at the same time. What for me is the essence of fashion?
My attention was so catalyzed by this variety of styles that do not realize that you have Justine Mattera next to the entrance of the store in C.so Vittorio Emmanuelle Marcella. Inside was a tanned and smiling Felipe Lager back, besieged by fans and by the flashes. Slogan of the evening of the famous brands: "live, laugh, love, believe me.” Found a simple but brilliant idea to encourage the contribution of the fusionists in this direction has been to make available post-it any color to leave a message and think positive. Justine has also left its message, but I have not read the contents, I was too busy admiring her flawless look. Dress amaranth, black patent leather shoe heel 12 and hair collection.
In the window next to Golden Point , a statuesque Emma Stockholm sounded from the console fanning with a fan. Amazing and hypnotic. Meanwhile, inside the store of bloggers, known in the fashion world, will compete in their first test as a personal shopper. Other dj a little 'everywhere: Guess, Zahra, H & M, Bershka, and Diesel. Live music for Max & Co and Max Mara wonderful window covered with a cover of Vogue with the brand's models. There have been also unlikely characters (trumpet Alcott), transport bizarre (monoruote electric) and hordes of foreigners. Moreover, Milan remains the fashion capital. And tonight it showed.

Bulldozer processors in the fourth quarter of 2011

John Fruehe, Director of Product Marketing for Server, and Embedded AMD Fire Stream products, confirmed indirectly in this post that the blog's official debut of the Option architecture-based solutions Interlagos architecture with up to 16 cores, depending on the versions to pass in the fourth quarter of 2011.

We expect to be launching "Interlagos" in Q4, a little later than we had hoped, but still in time for server deployments in 2011

Some days ago the U.S. Company confirmed that it has begun marketing revenues for the first sample processor Interlagos: This is not engineering samples and final samples. This announcement follows several weeks in a kind of official announcement of the sale, which in this case is to be expected during the next quarter with the involvement of partner manufacturers of server systems.

Fruehe confirmed in a comment to the blog post, as for architecture-based desktop solutions Bulldozer debut is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011:

Interlagos is a server part, There Is No desktop variant. Bulldozer is the client version of the Zambezi and it will launch in Q4.

Consequently, they fall with respect to the information previously provided, which indicated a date of official presentation during the month of September. Evidently this was the initial estimate of AMD: Some additional internal delays have in fact forced to move this event a few weeks going into the fourth quarter.

Microsoft Windows Hyper-V also provided 8

Even today, the blog dedicated to the development of Windows 8 reveals some interesting details on the upcoming operating system from Microsoft. The concerns of the day argument virtualization and the post is signed by John Mathew - Program Manager Hyper-V team. The president of Windows and Windows Live Microsoft points out that the blog BUILD was created to discuss the development of Windows 8 and not the characteristics of the final product, so with this caveat will dampen some of the criticisms originally published between the comments of previous posts.
We return quickly to the news and the topic of the day: Microsoft Windows 8 will be implemented technologies of Microsoft Hyper-V, then for the first time will be available on an operating system intended for desktops, notebooks and more. Hyper-V is Microsoft's technology up to date solutions available on the server for the creation and management of virtual machines.

The availability of Hyper-V enables developers and system administrators to use directly on your work PC virtual machine, so no need to use third-party solutions. The novelty may also have broader implications, also reaching the end user that until now has never had real contact with virtualized solutions.
To implement Hyper-V on Windows 8 Microsoft is grappling with the resolutions of problems recently. Mathew John explains that with respect to the solutions currently available on the server has had to work on the Hyper-V, which is responsible for network management, in particular the use of wireless cards.
With proper simplifications and in a nutshell, the question at issue is this: suppose you have two or more virtual machines running under Hyper-V and that each has at least one network interface. For each network interface is assigned a MAC address that will be transferred in each packet of data. In the case of a server solution interface Ethernet using a NIC in promiscuous mode enables communication of virtual cards with the real world, but not as much flexibility is offered by NIC ports or connectors used for Wi-Fi support only single MAC address in the packets.



The solution currently provides for the integration of Microsoft Bridge by placing the component in the Wi-Fi NICs and virtual switches.
Windows 8 will be published less frequently, but the attention is obviously paid to Microsoft for developers conference scheduled in a few days.

Set for Nov. 15 debut of Sandy Bridge CPU-E

And 'scheduled for November 15 the official debut of the first Intel processors belonging to the family Sandy Bridge-E ; with this name are indicated future solutions for the desktop segment, Intel's top of the range of the market, designed to take the place of the CPU socket LGA 1366.

Along with these new processors will debut, as already indicated above, the LGA 2011 socket platforms in combination with Intel x79. We will find 3 new models to debut, the proposed top of the range Core i7 Extreme Edition-3960X will feature a clock frequency of 3.3 GHz by default can go up to a peak of 3.9 GHz on Turbo Boost; the architecture will look like 6-core processors with Hyper Threading technology, like the Core i7 990X model that will replace the market.

For model -3930K Core i7 default clock frequency should go up to 3.2 GHz, 3.8 GHz with peak and off Turbo Boost L3 cache which will be equal to 12 Mbytes. The presence of the letter K in the name suggests it is a CPU with unlocked frequency multiplier up. For the model Core i7-3820 quad-core architecture will against the 6-core architecture adopted for the other two CPUs, 10 Mbytes of L3 cache, clock speed of 3.6 GHz by default, which can be pushed up to 3.9 GHz on Turbo Boost technology.

A period of presentation in November will allow Intel to take advantage of Christmas sales season, as well as put pressure on rival AMD competitive which would present during the month of October, its architecture-based solutions for the desktop segment Bulldozer market versions with up to 8 cores.

Microsoft shows the startup times of Windows 8

According to data supplied by Microsoft, about half of the users of Windows 7 off your PC instead of putting it in hibernation or sleep mode. This information should not be surprising: very often turn off the PC is the only remedy to give a refresher to the system.

With Windows 8, as evidenced by Microsoft on its official blog, the startup will be much faster than we have used every OS signed by the company of Redmond.

The interface of Windows graphics Metro 8 appears in a few seconds, but how is this possible? Microsoft provides the technical explanation. Compared to Windows 7, in fact, the user closes the session but, instead of logging out the kernel, it is hibernated. Comparative complete hibernation, which includes many pages of memory in use by applications, data hibernation session 0 are much smaller and thus require much less time to be written to disk. Using this technique to start you can go to significantly reduce the time: it is to read the hibernation file and re-initialize the driver. This procedure is generally faster on most systems and provides a 30 to a 70% improvement in performance.

In brief Windows allows you to go to reduce boot times because the operating system resumes the operating system hibernated (though free from any instance of applications), rather than completely restart. To this was also accompanied a reactivation of the multi-stage, able to take advantage of all cores of multi-core systems: in this way, each operation will be speeded up.

According to reports from a Microsoft spokesman, in addition, this new launch system will have benefits not only in PCs with SSDs, but also platforms with hard drives traditional. 8 in Windows, as you can see from the video, the boot screen disappears.

Xbox 360 is the number one console in August, despite price cut PS3

NPD has released data on sales of video games in North America in August. There has been a decline of 23% over the same period last year, mainly due to the postponement of the launch of the new version of Madden NFL . The new sports simulation of EA Sports is already witnessing a high volume of sales in the month of September, and traditionally was released in August.

The decline in sales is slightly lower than that recorded in July, in that case was 26% and this was the biggest decline since October 2006. "The majority of sales occur normally in the last four months of the year," says Anita Frazier, market analyst NPD. "Given the schedule of releases for the coming months, retail sales could go on the values of previous years."

The console sales dropped by 12% compared to August 2010. Compared to the previous month, however, sales of consoles are on the rise, especially due to improved results from 3DS and PlayStation 3 , or the two systems that have seen a reduction in price in recent weeks. On 12 August, in fact, the price of Nintendo 3DS fell from $ 249 to $ 169, while the PlayStation 3 fell on Aug. 18 from $ 299 to $ 249 (price reductions take effect in Europe).

Despite the new price of PlayStation 3, however, the best-selling home console in the U.S. in August remains Xbox 360 . Microsoft announced, in fact, sales of 308 000 units a month, driven mainly by the imminent launch of Gears of War Froze Motor sport 3 and 4.

"I believe that Microsoft executives are protecting an inferior technology," said a few days ago, Rob Dyer , vice president of public relations for Sony Computer Entertainment America. "It is good to remember that the Microsoft console can not be content with having larger than 9 GB due to the absence of Blue-ray."

Dyer admits that Microsoft continues to sell more consoles, and estimate the ratio of 1 to 1.6 the difference between the number of PlayStation 3 sold and the number of Xbox 360 sales: thus, for every PlayStation 3 sold are sold 1.6 Xbox 360. Dyer, however, insists that the PlayStation 3 is going very well on the software side, and considers each ratio of less than 1.6 positive for the PlayStation 3 business.

Mortal Combat and Dante's Inferno today are two of the Triple A few games that sell more than a total of PlayStation 3 with ratios of 0.91 and 0.93, respectively. Medal of Honor returns to the ratio in favor of the Xbox 360 with 1.2, and this is repeated with NBA 2K11, 1.2; LA Noire, 1.22, and Portal 2, 1.6.

"Microsoft spends a lot of money to have an exclusive relationship with Activision for the contents of the expansion of the Call of Duty games, which allows you to have the DLC on the Xbox 360 one month earlier than in other formats. But this, if we consider the installed base of consoles, it gives an advantage in the number of copies vendutevisto that the ratio of copies sold for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is 1.6 ", explains Dyer. "Many see Xbox 360 as the ideal platform for shooters, but we're not worried. We have reached an agreement with Electronic Arts that will allow us to have Battlefield 1943 Battlefield 3 included on the disc, and this will make the PS3 better than Xbox 360 ".

Despite the gap accumulated from the PlayStation 3 than Xbox 360 in the number of consoles sold in North America, the situation returned to Nippon for the console in Europe, where it continues to be sold in volume slightly higher than Xbox 360. Recently, though, Microsoft has announced plans to subvert this trend and has plans to make the pass in Europe will be available when Gears of War 3, 4 and Froze Motor sport titles Kindest for the Christmas season.

NPD sales data going back to August, we note that the best selling game of the month, given copies of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, is Deus Ex Human Revolution . The following NCAA Football 12 and Call of Duty Black Ops.

Samsung Series 5 Chrome book trial Conclusions

The Chrome book has also highlighted some interesting features, such as the silent and constant update of the operating system, although a minimum of information about installed updates would be advisable. Even on the security front, however, neglecting the threats are not strictly related to the operating system, OS Chrome for now is placed in a great location. Also the data may be considered safe: very little is stored locally and everything is available in the cloud associated with your Google Account. Overcome the concern for an outsourced storage, you can count on backup solutions, managed data center level and also in case of theft of the device will not be hard to regain possession of data and custom settings.



It is also worth mentioning is the recent availability of offline Gmail, Google released an extension that allows you to use Gmail even when the PC is not connected to the web: the user can read e-mail previously received, prepare and send new messages to automatically when the connection becomes available. Installing Gmail offline, you can also use Google Docs and Google Calendar offline, although in these cases for the moment the user can only read the contents without making changes. But Google has already promised a new update to make more versatile use of Google Docs and Google Calendar with no web connection. These days we tested the possibilities offered by Gmail offline, however, noting with dismay that at least start the application you must be connected to the web, only at a later time you can continue to use the email service in offline mode.
Specifically, the Samsung is to point out a good build quality average, also occurred in the disassembly of the product inside. The display proved to be convincing in front of the guaranteed maximum brightness, and the consequent possibility of use in open environments, while for the color rendering we would have expected something better. The choice of a matte panel proves valid for the particular intended use by Google; in fact, this type of display makes the user free from distracting reflections.
For now, operations are not announced in partnership between Samsung and the carriers, so the only commercial channel is that since the launch Pixmania distributes Chrome book Samsung. For considerations regarding the price we reiterate what I said in the past: the only hardware components considering the quotes provided by Samsung (399 Euros for the Wi-Fi model and 449 euros for the 3G model) seem excessive and intend to recognize the value of the product inherent in the novelty and exclusiveness of the Google operating system. For users who do not have excessive claims, the Samsung Chrome book may also represent the main PC, with the understanding that some operations can not be made except through cloud services.

Samsung Series 5 Chrome book trial Impressions of Use

With the product in their hands and with time to devote to usability tests we were able to gather some impressions that we will explain below. As supplied by Samsung Chrome book the 5 Series offers direct access to Google Apps and a few other Google applications downloaded from the marketplace. With these tools and integrated with the browser you can perform almost all operations for which a Chrome book is expected.

Among the interesting innovations we have found the File Manager, which is useful for archiving data stored locally or remotely. Chrome OS is, however, have another component for the management of the archives using the default system, then it is not clear how to customize the use of a tool than the other.

Compared to what we saw at the press conference we enjoyed the presence of a file accessible from the Home Manager and open automatically when you connect a USB thumb drive or SD card. The tool displays two folders called internal storage and external storage, and you can not copy and paste between folders or between these elements. Inside the Archive folder, you can scarier any items from the web or create subfolders, but to transfer such content to other volumes is necessary to rely on the cloud.

Archive folders will be visible even during operations upload to online services as an alternative to Google, so this detail of the house in Mountain View did not want to put excessive restrictions. As a test we wanted to do some editing with Photoshop.com and we could not detect any problem uploading images has been carried out properly by accessing the folders stored locally or to those relating to SD card.

The Web Store made available by Google offers interesting tools to expand the potential use of Chrome book, even for professional users. As for the Android marketplace provides a good description of the various components with specific references to the privileges granted to a single application installed. But there is something to improve in our view, in fact, the Web Store offers you to install extensions or applications unusable on Chrome book, such as some extensions provided for integration with Skype software component is not installed on the course Chrome book . It would at least be desirable to apply a filter to display only installable on Chrome OS, especially with regard less experienced users. Most experts however feel the lack of tools able to monitor system resources occupied.

After this series of unconvincing details we want to clarify that it is precisely for details. With Google Chrome book Chrome OS and offers something new and innovative. With high probability, and with some adjustments, these solutions represent a good choice in the future. You must, however, have very clear what are the potential and limits of a Chrome book, but will also have the opportunity to look beyond the cloud services offered by Google when there are different types of requirements in terms of storage, but also applications.

Samsung Series 5 Chrome book trial Analysis of the display

The Chrome book Samsung 5 Series has a 12.1-inch display featuring LED backlight and a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The analysis on the brightness of the panel confirms the allegation made by Samsung for this product: the brightness of up to 293 nits is a great value and allows you to use the Chrome book even under strong ambient light.

The brightness is adjustable to as many as 16 steps and the minimum level is quite comfortable even for a use of the device in the dark. As clearly visible in the graph above the curve of brightness is extremely linear.

The evolution of the depth of black did measure a significant linearity with very low initial values close to 0.1 nits on the lower level, although over a third step the measured value is already quite high. The contrast ratio settles down to a value of 40:1, almost reference value for notebook panels of sizes and features are not exaggerated.

The colorimetric analysis shows a good accuracy of the white point, but beyond that the panel of the Samsung Series 5 does not show great features: the triangle found is quite limited compared to the reference and is therefore the primary colors are complementary both little saturated except for the cyan. The same situation has been detected on other notebooks and probably lies in the technology used for this type of display, as well as the quality of them. From a Chromebook like the Samsung Series 5 does not then you can expect a high color rendering, or colors very saturated, even if the high brightness of the panel is perhaps the best feature for a similar product.

Samsung Series 5 Chrome book trial Battery Battery

To test the autonomy of the Samsung Series 5 we used the procedure carried out internally at Digital Spy, which provides continuous Web browsing through Wi-Fi network. During the test session are displayed pages containing some videos from YouTube distributed to alternate with other traditional web content, performing an automatic scroll. To make the test more realistic level of brightness of the display was set to 60nits about inserting some breaks during the test.

The result is therefore an estimate of operating autonomy Chromebook in a usage scenario that mimics the one to which you will typically encounter, avoiding the extremes of some specific benchmarks for the battery that pose little or no emphasis on the interrelationship between the device and the web for the use of data.

For this test we publish as a comparison the same results obtained in previous tests conducted on various netbooks and notebooks, the graph shows the names of the various models compared with the detailed technical specifications of the supplied battery pack. In the case of the Samsung Series 5 we are dealing with a solution of lithium polymer 8200mAh 61Wh 7.4 V @.

The autonomy measure on the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook nearly 8 hours of consecutive use, a very interesting result. The test was conducted with display brightness set to the value closest to the reference of 60 nits.

Samsung Series 5 Chrome book trial Description - In the body

Relying on a sample at our disposal we have been able to disassemble it allowed them to evaluate some details costrutitvi internal review the components chosen by Samsung. Access to the components of the Samsung Series 5 is extremely easy: the bottom of the chassis is completely separates from the base of the product as a result of removing some screws.



Once opened Chrome book you will be amazed by some of the details: most of the internal volume of the chassis is occupied by only one battery 61Wh @ 7.4 V, and the board has very small. You can also see how the space for one fan to cool the heat sink to the CPU and dedicated to the chipset.



As you can see from the previous 2GB memory RAMDDR3 are soldered directly on the PCB and is therefore no option to upgrade. At the top of the motherboard (next image) is placed instead of the 16GB SSD module used by the operating system and for a minimal local data storage by the user.



Inside the chassis is also known the components related to the SD card reader and USB port management. The keyboard is attached to the top of the chassis and the removal can hardly be said to be easy even if there are no reasons to justify such an operation by the end user.

Samsung Series 5 Chrome book trial

Introduction

Some months have passed from the first appearance of the Google Chrome book with Samsung has introduced two models of Samsung Series 5, next to these solutions would also be due to Acer but for now there is news from the Taiwanese producer of other markets has already proposed its own Acer AC700.
We have already spoken several times of Chrome book Samsung but only recently have we had access to a sample of the product on which to do some tests and, most importantly, assess the usability and the possibilities offered by the operating system from Google.


This project is designed and developed by Google Chrome OS is an operating system based almost completely on the cloud, so access to personal data, the configuration of individual services and web resources takes place exclusively through the Internet using 3G networks or Wi-Fi solutions. As we shall see, almost impossible to store their data locally and leads to radical choices which must be well understood by users.

For people new to the Samsung 5 Series propose below a summary of technical characteristics.

Processor Intel dual-core Atom N570 1.66 GHz
OS Chrome OS
RAM 2 GB DDR3
Graphics Card Integrated
Monitor Type LED
Monitor resolution 1280 x 800 pixels (WXGA)
Screen size 12.1 "
Storage 16 GB SSD

From a hardware point of view we are thus faced with a typical platform netbook with a 12.1-inch display and a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. For the physical description of the product we refer to this page and below we integrate a gallery of images useful to show detail.

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D Conclusions

Made the jump from single core to dual-core, LG and HTC have decided to further raise the bar of the hardware equipment of their own solutions by giving them the ability to capture point play and share content in three dimensions. The product of this last step in the evolution of mobile phones are so LG and HTC EVO Optimus 3D 3D. Needless to say that it is purely directed towards the entertainment devices can also be used to do work but only if the limited functions strictly necessary for carrying out the same. Autonomy does not allow you to combine the two purposes unless you have the ability to load the battery all the time, certainly not comfortable while efficient solution.

The construction of both solutions has been very good, even if the materials they were made the two products are not quite up to their position in the range of the two producers. The design is simple enough for both devices and has no elements which are particularly whimsical.

The performance, as we would have expected turned out to be absolutely in line with the devices with the greatest in hardware so far tested. During the period in which we could use the two terminals have never noticed particular uncertainties, as well as menu navigation and the use of the applications there has always appeared well supported by the processor and GPU.

Regarding the integration of 3D capabilities with the Android operating system, key to the success of the project 3D smartphone, we can not but express a favorable view of Optimus 3D for which LG seems to have worked so hard in this direction. A little less well HTC EVO 3D with some changes that probably more in this direction would have crushed the competition in Korea, having regard to the best-quality 3D effect.




Needless to say, expectations are high for each of the two solutions, which, of course offer an attractive tool for sure but at the same time are likely to be two dissident voices that might remain the only specimens of this category. The two solutions are on the other hand, come at a time in which a focus on innovation so important, could be a double-edged sword dividing critics between those who continued innovation and rewards those who condemn the uselessness of a tool like the 3D. The opinion is so subjective, based on the use that each makes its own terminal and that each user has on the design of the smartphone.

LG 3D Optimus is already available on the market and open market at an average price of 550 euros by operators in conjunction with a contract. As for HTC EVO 3D instead we have not yet any indication of the market place but we were informed that arrive at a list price of 569.90 euros including taxes.

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D Autonomy

The autonomy of these two devices is assured by two different solutions for each capability. Speaking of HTC EVO 3D fact we have a 1730 mAh battery against "only" 1500 provided by LG Optimus 3D form. Despite this difference, the autonomy of the two solutions, as we shall see from the graphs, indicates similar values, with a slight advantage in 3D EVO, given precisely by the increased battery capacity.



In both cases, however, reach the end of the day without needing to charge your device is very difficult, unless they make real use. If used frequently enough, to make calls or send messages and surf for example, checking the mail or reading the news of some online newspaper, the two solutions are struggling to reach the evening. If we use the usual display of some add 3D content, usage scenario is not so remote given the vocation of the two pure multimedia products, then here is the autonomy that falls dramatically and becomes difficult to reach even half a working day.

In the case of a simulation used as a mp3 player with playing songs in mp3 format continuously vary in size and duration and intermittent access to the display to change the song, the two terminals showed an average range of most solutions results that are around 20 hours.

As for the video playback test was carried out by reproducing the two smartphones and other devices tested in the past a film in mp4 format for a period of 106 minutes with resolution 720x576 pixels at 25 fps and 127 kbps stereo audio. The video was played in a loop with the media player installed on your device with headphones at maximum volume and level of illumination of the display is also set to its highest value. Even in this case the result is average, with slightly prevailing on the EVO 3D 3D Optimus competitor.

The navigation tests was conducted on the WiFi network via an auto-surf script, developed in-house, on the pages of Hardware Upgrade, Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, with time spent on each site but randomly between 7 and 15 minutes and a time spent on each page from 5 seconds to 2 minutes. For each page is also scheduled to conduct an operation of the scroll with a probability of 50%. In the two mode WiFi devices have exhausted their charge in about 5 hours for 3D and EVO 4 hours and 35 for 3D Optimus. Considering however the test results we got in 3G mode not far from each other, differentiated only about ten minutes, however, still prevail on the solution EVO 3D LG.

Finally, we tested the independence of EVO 3D and 3D Optimus when playing the same video in three dimensions noting that autonomy is suffering from a decline of approximately 30% compared to the same test done with a movie in 2D . Needless to say, if you find the video to play on youtube such as autonomy certainly will fall even more clearly, having to deal with the consumption due to WiFi or 3G.

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D Analysis of the display

LG is the solution that the HTC bring with them an LCD display 4.3-inch diagonal, which, although not qualitatively the same solutions as the most renowned Super Plus AMOLED Display by Samsung or Sony Ericsson Reality, though not disfigure too compared with these solutions.

Regarding the resolution, as mentioned earlier, the HTC 3D EVO with its 960x540 pixels is more defined than Optimus 3D offers a resolution equivalent to more standard 800x480 pixels. The differences are not so obvious and can be noticed only by observing closely the two solutions. Of course, as mentioned above, due to the increased resolution, on some occasions EVO 3D allows, for the same area, to display more information, thus preventing the user scroll the page continuously. On the other hand, a higher resolution also means a smaller character that in some cases (especially in case of web pages are not optimized for mobile devices) may be complicated to discern.

The analysis of the two displays by measuring colorimetrically the same shows in general good fidelity to the HDTV standard. Surprising in particular the graph obtained from the analysis of the display of LG 3D Optimus offers almost total coverage of the reference area, marking also coordinate values of the primary colors are very close to those defined by the standard. The HTC EVO 3D graphics, though less precise than in the LG solution shows a good coverage and a white point close enough to the reference.





As for the visibility to the different conditions of light, we can say that the brightness of both solutions is strong enough to ensure good readability in both internal, of course, in case of light virtually nothing in the event of exposure to artificial light sources . Referring instead to the vision in both terminals suffer from external exposure to direct sunlight. Despite this, the display remains, albeit with much effort in, still readable.

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D 3D features and tools

One of the main points on which the comparison between these two terminals and no doubt the main feature of the two solutions in question is obviously the possibility of using three-dimensional content. In this case the trial is divided into two distinct parts. The first concerns the quality of the display in three dimensions and the product of the catch of the media in stereoscopic 3D and the second the integration of 3D features within the software.

In the case of qualitative assessment, the balance falls exactly in the center. Each of the two solutions it prevails over the other in some specific situations that cause the comparison result is a draw. In the capture phase of the contents, LG Optimus 3D offers more customization possibilities, and above all thanks to an equalizer that allows you to decide the depth of stereoscopy, choosing whether to emphasize the closeness of the figures in the foreground or the distance of the most distant lens. On the other hand, however, EVO offers 3D, thanks to its higher resolution picture quality far superior. The technologies used to obtain the stereoscopic effect halved because the resolution in the case of three-dimensional reproduction of content and, if the initial difference between the resolution adopted by the two solutions does not seem so obvious, in 3D the image of higher definition HTC makes the content clearer.



As for the integration of 3D features within the operating system, is fully expressed in our favor against LG 3D Optimus. In EVO 3D possibilities to exploit the 3D technology is limited to natively view movies and images captured by the device itself. LG 3D Optimus provides the opportunity to access a menu specially created and also in three dimensions, which are collected all the tools needed to exploit the capabilities of the terminal.



This will give us a link to the gallery that contains only the content in three dimensions, or the application automatically displays youtube that a series of fully 3D playlist of videos and simplifies the sharing of content captured with the same Optimus 3D, or even a link the collection of 3D games natively installed or downloaded from the Android Market and a guide to take advantage of the 3D tools available.
At the launch of LG has also announced that, in addition to the already present converter movies and photos between two and three dimensions could be integrated in the future an option that will convert even the 3D games.

The vision of the content in three dimensions is possible thanks to the parallax barrier technology, also used by Nintendo in the portable console of last generation Nintendo 3DS, for a more detailed explanation of the technology we refer to this news

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D Impressions of Use

Impressions of Use

As widely anticipated, both products are at the top of the range of the two companies and therefore are both joined by a high-level hardware equipment in virtually any situation that ensures the smooth running of all operations. The two processors, helped by the GPU and RAM are never seemed excessive loads, even when there were many open applications.



Both LG Optimus 3D 3D HTC EVO bring with them the Google Android mobile operating system, although in two different versions. From the graphical point of view, the differences were still apparent even if the version of the OS had been different. Both producers have decided to customize the software with a proprietary interface.



The Sense interface, HTC EVO applied to 3D has often been described, is the same that characterizes all the solutions natively since the last MWC and the proprietary interface is perhaps better integrated and better made the whole scene Android. The graphics are very accurate and completely customizable in many of its parts. The home screen is completely organized as desired by the user or starting from scratch or based on one of the presets initially categorized by areas of interest related to the existing menu customization.



A little less free hand to be the interface LG is that it provides customization options but nothing more than allowed by the Android operating system natively. Even the icons and the graphics is generally far less prepared than its rival Sense we can judge but no less functional.

In both cases, the custom interface and customizable appear to affect the fluidity of the system which, thanks to the technical specifications now worthy of a netbook has never given way to clear bottlenecks.



Web browsing, now crucial factor in the use of a smartphone is guaranteed in both cases the mobile version of Google's browser, or Chrome. The speed of page rendering is good in both cases and, once the load was also completed scrolling and navigation on the page are very fluid. In this particular case, we point out a notable difference in the amount of information viewable immediately upon the opening of several pages. The opinion is in favor of HTC EVO 3D, thanks to the increased resolution of the display, lets you browse the pages more fully without the need to scroll.



The telephone industry is equal in both solutions, is receiving the signal quality always proved good enough. Unique particularly noted in this particular case is perhaps the highest level of call volume in 3D Optimus that it is often too low, especially when the surrounding rooms quite noisy.

Crucial m4 SATA 6Gbps, reading faster with firmware 0009

Matter of firmware


In recent times we have proposed a benchmark for Solid State Drive, including 6Gbps interface models, in order to analyze the performance through our usual tests. At that juncture reported the excellent performance of Serial ATA 6Gbps, with a special mention for the model OCZ Vertex 3. The model came out m4 Crucial well, albeit with some reservations for the reading speed of less than competitors. To compensate for the lack, however, coming toward the purchase price lower than competitors with the same characteristics. We quote the conclusions, then go to the theme of this article.

Taking stock of what has been observed, our advice is to turn their attentions instead on models 3 Vertex OCZ and Crucial m4, even considering the lower price compared to competing Intel 510. While some in, as some degradation of performance increase in data write speed of disk and does not live up to expectations, OCZ Vertex 3 is very powerful unit. Crucial m4 enjoyed the consistency in the results regardless of the level of coverage, as well as real-life testing that approach the OCZ model to a greater extent than could emerge from a brief glance to synthetic benchmarks. The lower price between that of the models analyzed, also increases our esteem for this unit.



An opinion so good, that allowed to infer the goodness of Crucial SSD m4. Lately we have witnessed a proliferation of unit-based controller family SandForce SF-2000 compatible with Serial ATA 6Gbps, apparently similar models satisfying a more or less internal configuration in common. Crucial, together with Intel, are a bit 'of white flies, since they point to the controller made by Marvell.

The release of new firmware for models m4, available at this address , has allowed us to perform some quick tests to see if the promised performance benefits are tangible realities, aided by the rare privilege of having the unit for a longer period along the canonical week.

This article intends to highlight any changes made by the new firmware version 0009, which replaces the 0001 and 0002 versions of these models sold to date. Let us briefly recall that by firmware can perform many operations that can fundamentally change the workings of a SSD, just like the units of cars. So let's see what has changed.

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D with pictures

Despite the similar characteristics and, above all, in spite of the same item of interest, the design and aesthetic lines that characterize the two solutions are quite different. LG 3D Optimus has a very simple design, perhaps even too much for a terminal in this group. HTC EVO 3D, however, it seems from this point of view a little more polished. In both cases the construction is solid, despite the materials used are not the most valuable. The body of the two solutions is in fact characterized mainly by plastic, except for some small details.





In both cases, to occupy almost the entire front face is a large display that measures 4.3 inches in diagonal size now customary for high-end products. The two displays are then topped with the speaker system, the front camera for video calls and the light sensor. The lower part of the display, however, is entirely occupied by the four key functions of Android, which in both cases touch. Much more visible in this case, the buttons on the HTC solution, easily recognizable even in backlight off.

The rear end of the two differ more than the front and has a brand-new elements related to the main feature of the two. Already the first glance that it can not catch the eye of double camera, which is necessary for the capture of three-dimensional images. In the case of LG, the two cameras are placed in a metal band, slightly displaced from the center of the body and accompanied by the LED flash. HTC combines the two cameras instead of a round plate of metal always, however, placed at the center of the frame at the top and entering, in this case, double LED flash between the two lenses.

As usual the different areas of the frame house and then all connectors gains physical buttons. The upper band is occupied in both cases from the connector for the 3.5 mm jack and power button on and off from the terminal. The bottom, however, is devoid of both products and offers connections a small slit for easy removal of the rear door.

The right side is for both solutions the most populated, in fact, is home to both in one device to another, and the volume rocker, slightly below the controls for the selection of the 3D mode, joined in the case of the EVO 3D the camera shutter button.

The left side is occupied solely by the microUSB for charging and connecting to the PC in 3D and EVO from the connector than the one just mentioned microHDMI, both protected by a plastic cover, in LG Optimus 3D.

LG 3D Optimus vs. HTC EVO 3D: the challenge to the third dimension

Made the jump from single core to dual-core, LG and HTC have decided to further raise the bar of the hardware equipment of its leading solutions by providing them the ability to capture and share content to play three dimensions. This is how LG and HTC EVO Optimus 3D 3D.

Introduction



During the last Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona last February, two of the manufacturers protagonists, although for different reasons, were surely LG and HTC. The Korean company was in fact the center of attention for the official announcement of two solutions in particular, or Dual Optimus, one of the first terminals with dual-core processor and Optimus 3D, the first mobile device with a display capable of capturing and view media files in three dimensions, all without glasses.

On the contrary, HTC, although well presented 5 new smartphone and the first 7-inch tablet interface Sense, had been criticized in a number large enough because of the few novelties contained in the technical solutions announced. All 5 smartphones even wore it as a dowry a single core processor, by which time the trend of the market have led to at least one solution in the dual-core product portfolio.



Perhaps spurred by these accusations, the Taiwanese company has not hesitated to play so well and the two most valuable cards in the months to come so they made their debut Sensation HTC and HTC EVO 3D object with the above review of the LG 3D Optimus today.

Despite the head start of a presentation took place a few weeks ahead for the LG solution, due to some delays in the production end of the Korean launch in the international market took place almost simultaneously. Optimus 3D and 3D EVO can then play their own challenge on equal terms.

Technical

Both devices bring with them a dual core processor, although of a different production. HTC EVO 3D is in fact based on a production platform Qualcomm MSM8620 a Snapdragon (Qualcomm Scorpion ARMv7 architecture-based) operating at 1.2 GHz frequency per core. LG Optimus 3D mounted instead of a solution TI OMAP 4430 (ARM Cortex A9) to 1 GHz frequency. Both processors are supported by a dedicated graphics card: Adreno 220 HTC EVO 3D PowerVR SGX 540 3D Optimus LG. We point out that LG 3D Optimus is the first smartphone to take advantage of dual channel technology that allows a better exchange of information between the processor and RAM memory, thus speeding up calculations.

The amounts to 512 MB RAM for the LG solution and 1 GB for the HTC. The dedicated memory storage is instead an additional 1 GB for 3D and salt instead EVO 8 GB (of which 5.5 are available) for 3D Optimus. Both for the one that the other solution for the internal memory is expandable via microSD memory cards, one with a cut of 8 GB memory bundle deals.

Kate Moss for Rimmel London, the rumored new spots



Again on the crest of the wave, Kate Moss did not miss a chance to talk about themselves, in the era of billboards hot, there may have been shocked and obviously talked about in profusion, but to remain firmly in the saddle in the international media circus at the end, that's the secret. This time it's an apparition or a little-naked-we lack in new spot of lipstick Rimmel London, of which the British supermodel is testimonial attached.

A video about 4 minutes shows the rock life of Kate, who always likes to attend certain musical environments.

The set is in fact made between the rising star of the music rehearsal room brit, the Vaccines, where Moss goes for two-stilosissime-strummed, and the wardrobe of the photo shoot (the true coolness of the avant-garde was born right here, in the mega -studios of the fashion metropolis). But then, oops, it's late. It will be better to take the helicopter of 7.30.

Microsoft Windows Phone Mango can acquire more than 20 percent of the market?

The head of marketing for Windows Phone believes that Mango will acquire more than 20 percent of the market by 2015. Achim Berg, the marketing manager of Windows Phone, said, in an article by Bloomberg , that the forecasts of analysts Gartner and IDC are "conservative" and will be overcome.

Gartner and IDC give it a slightly lower share of 20% to mobile phones with the Microsoft system by 2015.

Microsoft, as you all know, has updated the Windows Phone version of Mango ; last month in Japan, Toshiba has announced the first phone with that operating system. But HTC has announced two mobile, Titan and radar, available worldwide by October.

Other producers are ready to launch new phones, probably in the autumn. It is not yet announced the date on which the owners of Windows 7 Phone can update their system to Mango.

Windows 8 will have two GUIs

Microsoft clarifies what vistablog anticipated many times: Windows 8 will have two graphical user interfaces .

The question of what will be the appearance of Windows 8 is legitimate, given the universal vocation of the next OS from Microsoft, voted in traditional computers and newer tablet .

The two interfaces are distinct and "same level" (an interface is not under the other). Basically, if you choose to work with the interface Metro the other interface - the desktop - it will not be loaded into memory.

It 'a road that Microsoft follows the beginning of the development of Windows 8:

This probably explains some "discoveries" made in the leaked builds, such functions can be activated and deactivated. Findings are in situations of partial code, shared between the two graphical interfaces? In the final version everything is automated, it is obvious.

And the ribbon interface that both are beginning to argue? Simply deactivated or present only in the desktop version?
