Sony Vaio W Series
Sony Vaio W SeriesThe features of this great netbook give it that added touch. Overall great performance finish and display. The multimedia features stand out, what i liked was the ability to sream live multimedia onto your TV or through your Play station as it gives you the choice of utalising it as a DLNA server.
DLNA is short for Digital Living Network Alliance, and defines a standard for moving movies, photos, music and other media from device to device. DLNA servers can store media in one location, and, without any setup or configuration, can stream the media to DLNA compliant players, like the PS3 and Xbox 360. The big draw behind DLNA is to throw away major configuration, and create a simplistic way for consumers to get media from one device to another.
The pebble key board resembles that of the Mac. The major draw backs are the price tag and battery life.
Sony Vaio W Series Features :
- Pebble keyboard
- Quality touchpad
- 1366x768 resolution
- 10.1" LED-backlit display
- VAIO Multimedia Suite
- Video and photo editing tools
- VAIO Media Plus
- DLNA server
- Built-in camera and microphone
- 160GB hard drive
- 3-cell lithium-ion Battery
- 3 hour battery life
- Price: £499
Will antitrust probe keep Microsoft, Yahoo apart?
Reported in Associated Press, August 24, 2009
Yahoo and Microsoft hope that by joining forces, they can tilt the balance of power in Internet search away from Google. First, however, Yahoo and Microsoft have to convince regulators that their plan won't hurt online advertisers and consumers.

Digital Cameras: What is ISO ?
Digital Cameras: What is ISO ?
ISO is the sensitivity at which your cameras sensor reacts to the light when you open the shutter. ISO is measured in a scale called ISO scale. ISO is the number indicating a digital camera sensors sensitivity to light, the higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to make an exposure. the advantage with digital cameras is ISO is adjustable. Where as with older film cameras you had to carry different film roles to accommodate the variance in ISO. This is a Major advantage of digital cameras. A good Digital Camera would have and ISO range of ( 80 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 High Sensitivity) between 80 - 1600. the higher ISO settings will allow you to take quality pictures in the darker rooms and areas with poor lighting. The higher ISO is great for poor lit areas as long as it is in the High Sensitivity ISO Range. If you increase ISO extremely you r picture becomes grainy. A good photographer will combine various things like ISO with Aperture and Shutter Speed to get a great exposure.
