Amazon Releases Kindle DX with Bigger Screen & Auto-Rotate Mode
Amazon.com introduced yesterday Amazon Kindle DX, the new purpose-built reading device that offers Kindle’s revolutionary wireless delivery and massive selection of content with a large 9.7-inch electronic paper display, built-in PDF reader, auto-rotate capability, and storage for up to 3,500 books.
Kindle DX’s display has 2.5 times the surface area of Kindle’s 6-inch display. The larger electronic paper display with 16 shades of gray has more area for graphic-rich content such as professional and personal documents, newspapers and magazines, and textbooks. Kindle reads like printed words on paper because the screen works using real ink and doesn’t use a backlight, eliminating the eyestrain and glare associated with other electronic displays.
Kindle DX features a built-in PDF reader using Adobe Reader Mobile technology for reading professional and personal documents. Like other types of documents on Kindle, customers simply email their PDF format documents to their Kindle email address or move them over using a USB connection. With a larger display and built-in PDF reader, Kindle DX customers can read professional and personal documents with more complex layouts without scrolling, panning, or zooming, and without re-flowing, which destroys the original structure of the document. Everything from annual reports with graphs to flight manuals with maps to musical scores can be viewed on a single, crisp screen with Kindle DX.
Kindle DX’s display content auto-rotates so users can read in portrait or landscape mode, or flip the device to read with either hand. Simply turn Kindle DX and immediately see full-width landscape views of maps, graphs, tables, images, and Web pages.
Today Microsoft has reached a significant milestone with the Release Candidate (RC) of the highly anticipated Windows 7 operating system, available starting from today May 5 on the Microsoft Windows 7 site. The RC milestone is a result of feedback from millions of customers and partners around the world. It indicates the operating system is entering the final phases of development and almost ready to be commercially available to public.
With the RC, Microsoft is also providing guidance on the minimum system requirements for Windows 7, showing that Windows 7 will work on a broader array of hardware than any other release of Windows at launch:
1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.
1 GB of RAM (32-bit)/2 GB of RAM (64-bit) .
16 GB of available disk space (32-bit)/20 GB (64-bit) .
DirectX 9 graphics device with Windows Display Driver Model 1.0 or higher driver.
I'm going to download it today and test drive it! I hope it is better than Windows Vista.
Fujitsu Develops Secure USB Memory Device Featuring Automatic Data-Erase Function
Fujitsu announced Friday April 17 the development of two new technologies designed to prevent the unwanted disclosure of data from lost USB memory devices and prevent uploads to file-sharing networks: a USB memory device technology that after a fixed period of time automatically erases data stored on the USB memory, and a file redirect technology which ensures that the data from the USB memory device can only be stored on a specified server. This creates a secure environment that protects confidential information and allows USB memory devices to be used as a convenient way to safely carry customer data back to one's own company to manage the data.
The new USB Drive enables data to be carried outside of a company safely and in compliance with the company's security policy. This environment consists of the following two technologies:
Secure USB memory device prototype: The new and unique USB memory device prototype contains a processor and battery. After a fixed period of time, if the USB memory device is plugged into an unauthorized PC, the data can automatically be erased or the USB memory device can be rendered unusable. For example, the USB memory device can be set up with a policy whereby the data will be automatically deleted after 24 hours, or it will be deleted if the USB memory is plugged into an unregistered computer even once. By storing and carrying data on a USB memory device that allows for this type of security setting, in the event that the USB memory device is lost, the data stored on it will be automatically deleted and thus enable strict security.
File redirect technology: Together with the self-erasing USB memory device, installing the file redirect software on a PC can be used to restrict the copying of data from the USB memory device, forcing it to reside only on the USB memory itself and a specific company server. This can also be used to prohibit confidential data from being sent as an e-mail attachment or from being printed. Since confidential data is prohibited from being written to the hard disk drive of the PC, it prevents data from being stored on PCs or USB memories and later transferred to file-sharing networks, whether by accident or intentionally.
I love puzzles specially those dealing with numbers. I have tried Sudoku and then Killer Samurai Sudoku. I then tried Kakuro but now I'm fed up with all of them! Just a couple of days ago I discovered this new puzzle that not only deals with numbers similar to Sudoku and Kakuro, but also that involve other math operations (addition, multiplication, subtraction, & division). This new puzzle is KenKen! I also found it to be very useful and entertaining to elementary math students. I introduced it to my son in the 2nd Grade and he absolutly loved it!
KenKen is a puzzle invented in 2004 by the Japanese math teacher Tetsuya Miyamoto (above picture), an innovator who says he practices "the art of teaching without teaching". He intends the puzzles as an instruction-free method of training the brain.
Like Sudoku, even though difficulty may vary from puzzle to puzzle, the rules for playing KenKen are fairly simple:
For a X by X puzzle, fill in with numbers 1-X.
Do not repeat a number in any row or column.
The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares, called cages, must combine (in any order) to produce the target number in the top corner of the cage using the mathematical operation indicated.
Cages with just one box should be filled in with the target number in the top corner.
A number can be repeated within a cage as long as it is not in the same row or column.
Now if you understand the simple rules, try to finish the above puzzle. I just quickly solved 4 squares. Try to find first how I figured out those numbers and then finish the game ;)
