Motion-sensitive mini-keyboard - Cideko Air Keyboard

The design of Cideko Air Keyboard is more like a mobile phone than a keyboard. The product is aimed primarily at those who have a HTPC and do not want a full-size keyboard on the TV table.
The advantage of having a real PC connected to your TV in the living room are many. Besides that one can play any movie format and audio format at all, there can be, for example, also chat and play games in front of the TV with the help of computers.
One problem is that a full-size keyboard and a mouse, even if they are wireless, rarely is especially nice on the TV table and also takes plenty of room.

Cidekos small keyboard

Cideko Air Keyboard is a keyboard whose size is slightly larger and thicker than a smartphone, and it is doing much better along with the other remotes in front of the TV than a standard keyboard with mouse had done. The buttons on the keyboard are made of rubber and is reminiscent of the minimal qwerty keyboard that today's smartphones are equipped with telephones.
In addition to letters and numbers, there is also buttons to access the media features of Windows. On the underside of Cideko Air Keyboard are four small rubber feet that allow it do not risk scratching the TV table. On the front of the keyboard are also two large buttons that you can left-and right-click.

Operate the entire box

And that's exactly how it has solved the feature to control the mouse distinctive feature of this keyboard. The entire keyboard is used namely to control the mouse and it does so by turning the keyboard into the air. At first, this is a more than unusual way to control the mouse on and it's tricky.
After a while of usage can be really good, although it is advisable to set the sensitivity of the mouse settings. Of course, this is not a mouse control that is especially appropriate if, for example, will devote itself to expose an image in Photoshop - but for simpler tasks, it is a really smart and innovative solution.
The scope of Cideko Air Keyboard mentioned according to the manufacturer for 50 yards. In my test, I managed to get the keyboard to work without difficulty from any room in the apartment, so it's probably figures that may be true. The interconnection with the computer through a USB stick that is also smart placed in a small compartment on the underside of Cideko Air Keyboard.

Dual monitors on the mini-PC from Onkyo

Now that most hand-held computers have similar hardware, you may find new things to stand out. The Japanese company Onkyo is launching a computer with dual screens.
Sure, we have in and of itself already seen the prototypes and models of laptops, which has two screens, but the Onkyo mini-computer is still worth mentioning. It teaches unfortunately probably not show up in Sweden.
Onkyo DX have two screens, which are on either 10.1 inches. They can handle 1366 × 768 pixels each, which is more than previous competitors have performed. The picture is with so many pixels on the small space, one can only speculate until we have tested.

Moreover, we recognize the hardware from other netbooks. The processor is an AMD Athlon Neo at 1.6 GHz, graphics cards such as ATI Radeon HD 3200, and network connections via WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth and Ethernet port. Internal memory is 2 GB in the standard model, and the hard disk of 320 GB.
The operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. And finally, the price tag of approximately 6850 dollars. A little too juicy for a mini computer, even if it has two screens.

Just a few years ago, it was only to provoke digital photos to plain paper. It looks completely different today. Today most companies offer the possibility to get prints on everything from canvas and coffee mugs to clothing, and postcards, posters and photo books .
- It was not this year's Christmas present this year, but the industry is growing fast, says Patrick Mark, CEO of Swedish Photo Home. Three years ago was the concept photo book almost unknown, now know most of what is at stake.

Test: Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 offers complete protection of your computer in the form of antivirus, firewall, parental controls, phishing protection, so called Sandbox and everything else you could want. This without requiring too much of your computer.
When Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 launched in the Swedish version, we published a news about it and promised to come back with a test. Now I have test driven security package on a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate and I can already tell you first that I have been happy with the security package.
As I wrote in the article on trends in the antivirus 2010 has security firms this year focused more on programs to trim down further, and that you move out much of the control of dangerous code to the cloud. This means that your security software communicates with the security company's servers to keep track of whether the programs you run or download is legitimate.
This type of solution in the cloud has become a must. The previous technique was based on signatures (virus signatures, or definition lists) but since it released today around 25,000 new unsafe code every day (Source: Symantec ) , there is no way to keep everybody abreast of new signature files. To update its antivirus once a day is no longer enough. Therefore, it is smart to take it to the cloud, and thereby obtain protection against the latest threats in real time.

Installera Kaspersky 2010

As I wrote above, I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 on a laptop withWindows 7 Ultimate operating system. The computer is rather limited in its technology and contains only an Intel Pentium Mobile processor at 1.73 GHz and 1 GB of internal memory.
By running on an older machine, I think you get a more accurate picture of how the software package will really work out to ordinary people, where you rarely have a computer of top model. In addition, you see the manufacturers told the truth when they talk about their software requires little computing power.
The installation is not much to talk about. It went quickly and smoothly. The process took about fifteen minutes and then loaded including an update to the latest version of the program down. When installation was finished, I found out that the computer was protected, and then stayed Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 quietly in the background - just as you would like a security package to do.
There was a problem, and it was that I did after the installation did not come to my other computers or my NAS on the network. It is a fairly common problem after you have installed a firewall, so after changing the rights to the firewall it worked again.
