Games for Mac

With the world premiere of the id Tech 5 at WWDC Apple in 2007, it was quite clear: Like all previous id Software games, will also appear the next game based on the new engine for the Mac After that, was very quiet on the project until a year ago came the idea of ​​thinking, Mac and Linux port has been canceled, thegame is only for Windows and consoles! The greater was the surprise, as Aspyr, brought no major announcement, a Mac version of the Mac App Store. This comes as a "campaign issue" and therefore includes all previous versions available for other content, such as side missions or additional equipment, but no multiplayer.

Action
With id Software Rage enters a new territory for the first time since it has long been a game with its own history of the universe is out Quake and Doom: An asteroid speeding toward Earth and threatening to destroy completely. As a final rescue people were selected, including the player who put in a chest on the floor in a Cryoschlaf.

The game begins when you leave the last survivor of his ark, which is immediately attacked by two mutants that are knocked down at the last second of our Savior, who leads his people. It soon becomes clear that it is special in some way, but the background is just a time left in the dark. One gets so in a very careful design, again apocalyptic futuristic scenario in which for the first time some smaller contracts in order to earn the respect of other survivors. Quickly realize that the dangers may be lurking behind every rock, and one is well advised to shoot the enemy before him. At first make a mutant life Gollum-like hard, then you are fighting against heavily armed government troops. This contrast - in one hand strange creatures that live in caves and attack you with axes homemade, by contrast, high-tech combat troops with pulse cannons - gives the game a very nice atomic sphere.

Away from the main story, there are always some side quests you can earn some money to do so. This is also because, when you find them, as direct as possible. Credits can be found faster than you think, then you are in the main menu, without an easy way to move freely in the world to do the side missions lost.

Advance an action game with a good story has been announced - compared to the previous works of id Software may be true also of the history surrounding is good and consistent, and you meet a lot of characters with their own personalities. Orders are often only with a lot of errands in the form of slaughter. Moreover, even trying to explain why one in all these tasks are always the only person who is able to create them, and why one is started, although it has in every corner friends and supporters who are bored. In addition, it lacks some development of the characters to make it really believable - a film montage, as in Metal Gear Solid series can not be expected here.

Gameplay
After a little grated history of the game is here now: id Software has been made in the past many good shooter, but in terms of gameplay is definitely the highlight of rabies in the single-player shooters. As expected, there are a lot of killing, but also very much a story: you can move freely between the missions of the current city, spend time with games, buy new equipment, racing cars, talk to other people Buggy desert or just explore the area. The road will come across many elements, some of which - assuming the right plan - to the extent of McGyver-type objects can be useful to the new ride. So you can build, for example, to block the door from the areas, or even small remote-controlled cars with bombs that will surprise the enemy. Generally, it is advisable to pack all items found. Because the only way to get together enough money for necessary equipment and ammunition needed to fight the enemy masses. In general, a variety of different types of weapons that can further improve individually. So for all tastes.

The enemy AI makes occasional minor deficiencies, but otherwise well above the Call of Duty or Battlefield usual average. While opponents sometimes dig in and wait for the shot out without the initiative with the head straight, but is rather the exception. The mutants, for example, often running around on the one hand, and jump over obstacles and cleverly recovering time on walls and ceilings. The movements look very realistic here: If an opponent shot during pre-towers, he stumbles to a landing and then longitudinally stretched out in front of you when you did. If you kill some enemies, get the rest of it to do with fear and regain what they proclaim aloud.

Government forces also use individual soldier with impenetrable shield for rapid progress, while the rest are hiding behind the shield and firing on all cylinders. They are also always in one's own behavior when they dug, they approach much more cautiously, as if badly wounded fled. This provides a sweat much more than competition shooters.

The missions are organized fairly linear, we have (unfortunately) not to think about what will happen or where you have to go long. In between, there's always some boss fights you can win the most part, only by brute force. In the fight against a skyscraper is a big super mutants, at least expect to find the weak point of the seemingly invincible monster - but this is still the exception.

Once you have blessed the moment, will (again) revived the mobile defibrillator, also not all adjacent foes - made practical, but the thing a little easier too.

Check-up
As for graphics, games were actually id Software is always world class, state, and the rage! I'm not exaggerating when I say that was so unprecedented a video on the Mac yet. Especially in view of the huge outdoor areas can shine the id Tech new fifth this range, and it was still such a detailed world I've seen in any other game. The sound is excellent: in the sewers, the mutants can be heard running around not knowing exactly where they are. This light, the music that fits well and of course elegant light and shadow effects in the beautifully designed map: How to make a shooter atmospheric atomic sphere!

It is noteworthy, however, that the graphics quality varies a bit: In particular, some inland areas have gone a bit textures, yet clearly behind the outdoor areas very chic. Can not be measured, for example, with a title and third Battlefield.

If you are thinking now, you need at least 2500 euros MacPro to play the game quite well, do not worry: Here RAGE spas offer the biggest surprise for me! Through the intelligent operation of the engine id Tech 5, the game will run even on older computers that is fully liquid. Does the team runs out of steam, so it does not manifest itself RAGE with a stutter, but with a reduced image quality. Therefore, it is more common in weaker machines with fast camera pans, the textures can be recharged quickly enough, and you can see the picture with them, as is low resolution, razed textures gradually to a quite enjoyable to watch. It may not look so good, but as the game itself remains vulnerable machines always reproducible.

The faster the computer, unless this is happening, it will disappear completely, but probably only in the few computers. If, however, quite possible that by Aspyr improvements and new graphic drivers as the change in the future something to her.

The problem is that, although rare, causes problems with games save. These are sometimes stored out of order and can not read or recognize the game when you select a save only his service. Again Aspyr should definitely lend a hand.

Conclusion
Although I am of the opinion that has an id Software gives only in terms of story and game design a lot, RAGE is still a very good shooter who has much to offer. Should be in the selection of games that we have as a Mac user, rabies is almost a must buy for all fans of the genre that takes into account, however give. The download size of 13 GB, depending on the line of what you feel adventurous.

What's new in Windows 8

With Windows 7, Microsoft managed a big hit. But for the next operating system, Windows 8, the software giant is planning a number of innovations. The difference between Windows 8 andWindows 7 should be greater than the difference between Windows7 and Windows Vista. We show you the first facts and rumors around Microsoft Windows 8.

"It's the future of the computer," wrote one employee of Microsoft Windows 8 in his blog and gave the first details about the upcoming operating system. But the entry of February 2010 was quickly extinguished. Microsoft was the information about Windows 8 is certainly not too hot - although details were hard to find. "People should at least assume that Windows is very different from the 8, which users usually expect from Windows," promised the anonymous blogging employees of the Windows Update team at Microsoft.
Windows 8 faster than Windows 7Microsoft refuses to disclose in advance plans for Windows 8th The risk is too great that users might be disappointed in retrospect, if the announced features are not implemented in Windows 8thNevertheless seep through some information and rumors. Microsoft experts and bloggers have reported the approach to Windows 8 is clear: Even smarter, faster and more user-friendly to the operating system. There is no official code name for Windows 8 is not enough. When Microsoft says Windows.next. Windows 7 called employees during the development period Blackcomb and later Vienna, Windows Vista and Longhorn known. Microsoft Windows 8 in any case so far has not been confirmed as a final product name.
Windows 8: Release DateUnclear is the release date (release) of Windows 8 A represented on Microsoft's developer conference schedule in 2009 led to a major release of Windows 8 in 2012. In addition, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer had already announced that they have no long intervals between Windows releases. Three years had a good time.This speaks for a show of Windows 8 in 2012. However, Chris Green, a former Microsoft employee, mid-2011 as the date for Windows 8 in the room.
Windows 8 does not look like Windows 7The Note, Windows 8 is a major release, lets hope for fundamental changes. Windows 7 has been said in the presentation even dismissed as an update. For example, Windows 8 will change the design. There is speculation that Windows 8 will appear with a completely new interface. The visual difference between Windows 7 and Windows Vista was up on the Superbar and some windows functions rather low. The reason for the speculation about a new design of Windows 8 was the LinkedIn profile of the Microsoft employee Meng Yang. The software engineer, wrote on her profile page on the social network to "design an interface to the next generation of Windows 8 and develop."
Windows 8 will support USB 3.0Also under the hood in Windows 8 is expected to change significantly. You may get Windows 8, a new file system. That would be a revolution, because the current file system is part of Microsoft's Windows 95 operating systems. What exactly will change to the file system of Windows 8 is, however, still unknown. For Windows Vista already, the file system WinFS was announced, the project was discontinued. The results should be included at a later date in Windows - possibly in Windows 8 The new USB 3.0 standard is fully implemented in Windows 8 with drivers. Windows 7 will eventually appear no comprehensive update - perhaps second only in Service Pack The predicted Intel Manager Steve Peterson.
Program Update with Windows 8More speculation: Windows updated 8 programs installed automatically via Windows Update. For such a task, Microsoft was looking for new employees already. Clear advantage: Users of Windows 8 must update their software is no longer tedious. A centralized software management of Windows 8 could accept this.Such a version of Linux has been around for some time. A Software Updater in Windows 8 would be part of the announced improvement of user friendliness.
Windows 8 with 128-bit possibleWindows 8 may appear only as a 64-bit Windows. With Windows 7, the technology has advanced significantly. An implementation in Windows 8 would be the logical step. Potential problems with the hardware support could be largely resolved in 2012 to the release of Windows 8th According to reports, Microsoft plans to put Windows 8 even on 128-bit architecture. However, it currently lacks the appropriate processors. It is also written in the foreseeable future, no software for a 128-bit Windows. Maybe the next Windows server supports this technology and not Windows 8
Windows 8 Direct Experience PlatformMicrosoft is planning for the new Windows 8 is a very clever solution to the various functions like DVD playback run without booting the computer, the user at all and windows must be 8 boot up completely. The software giant has this technique as a Direct Experience Platform patent pending. Just for the pure viewing a DVD, it would be redundant to boot the complete operating system.The Direct Experience Platform, a pressure would open on a remote control button, the DVD drive tray, while in the background, only the components of the operating system start up, which are needed for DVD playback.
Free use Windows 8 on the InternetExperts forecast the next Windows, there are 8 only in the three versions of Windows 8 Home, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Professional. NET. This revolutionary Windows 8. NET to run it on Microsoft servers and are not installed locally on the PC. The user accesses this version of its Windows 8 and its data exclusively over the Internet. There is speculation that could Windows 8. NET and even offered free ad-supported. Microsoft already released free online versions of Office software, Office 2010. At a press conference in April 2010 was also announced that Windows 8 will put emphasis on Internet applications. This would also components such as Windows Mail or Windows Paint to be replaced by eight-line services. Could potentially avoid the My Documents from the local hard drive to an online store. Thus, it criticizes private users of Windows 8 from any device access to their data. For new networking features in Windows 8 Microsoft sought in any case in July 2009 further development. The versions of Windows 8 and Windows 8 Professional Home correspond to the distribution of Windows XP.
Public beta test of Windows 8 probablyCertainly there will be a public beta test for Windows 8th Microsoft was also interested in testing Windows 7 - with great success.Worldwide, several million test versions have been downloaded from the Internet. The user feedback was still flowing into the ongoing development, and were thus eliminated errors and compatibility problems with hardware and software. This can not miss Microsoft in the final stages of the development of Windows 8th.

How to make Google+ for Business

Google + Pages : How to create a business page on Google Plus
 
Parts?

Recently, Google + for the business world : a Google + Page, you can present your company in the new social network by Google. Why it pays for you to create a business page on Google +? In my opinion, does a Google Business Page - compared to a Facebook Page - two key advantages for businesses:
First Google + is a valuable marketing tool
Contrary to a Facebook page you can use a Google + page categorize your customers and prospects in circles - so you can specify very specifically, with the persons you want to share that content (articles, photos, videos).

Second Google + is important for the Google Search

Search and find is what Google is specialized. And therein is the search engine from rival Facebook stand out clearly: If you - through good content - (friend =) manages users to encourage them to click the Google + button, Google your content is earlier series in the search results.
With all the hype that currently exists at the new Google + pages, should you be an entrepreneur (in) a main question: Is your target audience on Google +? If yes: Do not hesitate to pick up your (potential) customers there and communicate with them directly.

Google + Create page

To create a simple Google + page, you first need a personal Google + profile or a Google account, the difference between Google + Page and Google + Profile of Google and profiles are solely for personal, while Google + pages for a variety of organizational forms, such as companies, brands or organizations created can be.

Page of Google + 

When creating the Google + Pagea wizard walks you through the process, you can choose from different categories:
local business
Product / brand
Company / organization / institution
Arts / Entertainment / Sports

Other

What would the Google + Page? Do you offer your audience valuable information about your offer, such as opening times, maps, news ... In design terms, there are (still) not a lot of possibilities - the design is, as you would expect from Google deliberately reduced.Besides the logo, you have the possibility, 5 header images (Photo album Wall) to save.

Google Direct Connect

The Google + Page, and the existing site should necessarily be linked together to allow Google Direct Connect: The plus serves as a kind of search shortcut for Google Plus Page - if you enter the plus sign before the keyword in the search box of Google search, theGoogle + Page (if any) in the search results are displayed first.When logged in, you can add the page to its own circle.

Other features planned for Google + Pages

The default privacy setting of Google + Pages is "Public". People you can only add to their community (like) when the page was added by them or mentioned. Until the end of 2011 it should be possible to set up multiple administrators for your Google +, Google + Page Vanity URLs and other features (games, advanced circuits, alerts, mobile hangouts) are planned.

Speakers Sonic Gear Evo 5

When I was on vacation recently, my friend has borrowed my speakers. If you have a girlfriend, you know what that means. Well, anyway, I had toyed with the idea of ​​me to buy new, so why not the same. Well that was easier said than done.

So I threw a harmless look at different websites, but could not bring myself to actually make a decision. I liked (why not a couple of Bose I thought, for example) were then immediately astronomically expensive, the price fell in my frame was ugly as sin. I was stuck in a kind of dilemma. Wanted to spend a lot of money (could) I do not, a grotto-ugly pair of speakers to be placed on my desk but was much less.

The rescue took as so often on eBay. Since there are so well known, any shit. Quite by accident I saw also some speakers that are not only OK but also looked just fit into my budget. By the company but I had never heard of. My curiosity was piqued, especially since the name Sonic Gear really cool sounds ever.

It turned out that apparently only quite at the beginning in terms of global sales. They belong to Leapfroglobal Group and are based in Singapore. However, I did nothing. What I liked is their slogan: Trust Your Ears. I like to do this is online only slightly difficult, especially if you have no more speakers.

Well, after some hesitation, I ordered it from a dealer in the UK. It cost me the way some trouble finding a dealer who does not try to recoup the competitive price by exorbitant shipping costs again. At the end I found said shop, where the whole thing cost me 54 euros including shipping and just so I could just live like that.

At least the pictures looked neat from the speakers, which I then a few days later in his hands, was something completely different. The parts look worse in absolute terms and in real-I mean this in allerpostivsten sense of the word. They not only high, they feel good too that way. If I compare with the scrap, which is here in the stores, I can not believe some people do not buy Sonic Gear Evo 5th

The sound check confirmed my first impression: First class. The speakers deliver a rich sound in all areas. Meanwhile, I'm a friend grateful to the former speaker. I do not need extra mention that she was a little pissed when she saw my new acquisition. If they ever want to "borrow", but I know what I'm saying.NO WAY! These babies belong to me!

How to make a x-ray glasses

It is about the time of going to the beach and with that the best time to test the x-ray lenses. The materials left over to spend the IR and the naked eye can not see anything are synthetic fabrics such as lycra in dark colors.

The cameras with night vision, also called night shot, or have lux sensors. In particular if you want to buy a camera or filters of this type. Already on the market these cameras with night vision or to achieve the so-called effect of x-ray lenses. For example, the Kaya-optics company has been selling cameras and infrared night vision filters. But you can also achieve this effect in a home.

The presence of bright light is definitely an advantage. The wet clothes also favor the capture of IR to achieve the effect of X-rays see through clothing. The Easter holidays are definitely one of the best options. At the beach or pool, the opportunities are greater.

Keep in mind that as a rule, nobody likes to see through clothing. I advise you to do with consent. If not so, do the tests with responsibility and at your own risk. Here we are not responsible. Having said this, and all clear, good luck.

If you want to share your tests with x-ray lenses filter x-ray home we have built here, will be welcome. Already started a collection pequenia photos and videos with x-ray lenses. Will be available soon.

homemade night vision lenses

Putting a camera with night vision is simple. The first thing to do is measure the lens of the camera that we use. I recommend a standard digital camera. This filter also works for home phones with digital camera. So you can take pictures with x-ray videos with your phone. It is important to try several filters to achieve different effects with different types of light and sensitivity of your digital camera.That will depend on the quality of your photos.

The materials you need are:

Several negative, the dark after their disclosure.
The cardboard center of a diameter tape similar to a camera lens that you put the filter.
Glue
Insulating tape
Correct or scissors
Marker or black paint and brush.

First see if the digital camera (photographic or cell) captures infrared. For this take a picture in the darkness of some remote control directed toward the infrared diode while pressing any button.It is important not to activate the camera flash when taking this picture. If you can see in the photo diode, it means that if your camera sees infrared. We are on track.

Ring filter: Now to make this homemade infrared filter, you need to measure the outside diameter of the lens of your digital camera.That's where we will adapt the home infrared filter. One end of the ring should be partially covered, you can put a piece of black construction paper.
Filter: Cut the negative and dark revealed. Cut two of them and put them inside the filter ring. So that they are covered by black cardboard except for the area in front of the camera lens.
Once the filters are fixed on the rim of the filter and filter the entire home is painted black, place it on the camera lens. This type of filter home should pass only the infrared spectrum and only part of the visible light.

See through clothes
Interestingly, after starting this blog for several weeks, the way that people find this blog. The main idea of ​​this blog is to explore and learn how to achieve the effect called x-ray. We have explained that this effect is actually way to capture infrared filters adapted with video cameras, photo phones.

Most visitors have come to this blog and see sample photos in the first post on x-ray lenses. Many people are convinced of the effect of x-rays and the ability to see through clothing. In fact, hacinedo research for this blog, I check in several photography forums. Many users did not believe that you could see under your clothes with these filters. In fact, in several forums told me that see through clothing was just a story of the 80's.

However, since I made my first test with infrared filters on my phone.Result, it works but I need a good sunny day. I've only tested fabrics that I have put myself in front of my cell.

Most people come to this blog looking to see the underwear with x-ray glasses to see panties or lingerie under dresses or skirts. No you can literally stop people in their underwear and lingerie with a filter, simply, certain materials are transparent to infrared rays and others do not. With a filter, eliminating reflection or absence of these with a camera or cell phone, what remains is the material that did not absorb the rays. This is how we see beneath the clothes. Well to explain, you need several things, mainly the right filter and sufficient light, a good natural or artificial sunny day, with infrared diodes. You also need the focus is on certain types of materials, ie, artificial fabrics. Especially nylon or lycra. If clothing is wet, it works better.These are the most important factors to see through or under clothing.

It occurred to me as it would put it, rather than treating it as a secondary issue because most people who come to this blog as does asking to see under clothes. There have the answer, those are the important factors to achieve the effect of x-rays. If you have done or are trying, they can leave here your notes, tips and suggestions on this issue. They can share their photos and home experiments if they wish. Due to the success of sample photos, I will open a section of voluntary contributions.

Remember, if infrared filters are cheap, what remains is to experiment with your cell phone or camera to know the sensitivity of the filter, the type and intensity of light suitable. And practice.

X-ray cell phone

Most cell phones come with cameras. This gives them a great advantage is small and portable. With many phones can now be achieved very good pictures, in some, the quality of the lens and the resolution are very good.

Sunlight may be sufficient to reflect infrared rays to be filtered and captured by a simple cell phone can be enough to create the effect of x-rays. If you choose correctly the filter, you can use a cell phone camera to see through clothing.

We must learn to calibrate the light conditions with the sensitivity of infrared filter used, but once this is achieved, the effect of x rays with a cell phone is a reality. What to do to build or customize your cell phone to take pictures through the clothing is to have a camera phone with integrated ceullar buy a infrared filter. What are the best models of mobile? Again, a camera with good resolution and good lens helps more. Is achieved as an infrared filter? Now it's easy to find on the internet is easy to find in some stores. It is important to check the sensitivities of the filters first and you make sure that work with sunlight outdoors.

Once you have the filter, which should cost less than $ 20 if you succeed with distributors of photographic or optical equipment can be much cheaper. What you have to do is simple, put it in front of the lens cell phone and start making the tests. Remember that there are materials that work best to achieve the effect of x-rays see through clothing. Also the lighting conditions are important, for example, sometimes wet clothing works best. The distances and shadows are important so you have to work the angles from which to take photos. So there are advantages in using cell phones to take pictures on a sunny day at the beach for example.

As x-rays put my camera

The x-ray lenses (or x-ray glasses) and x-ray cameras that both have become fashionable, they are actually infrared.

Now sell infrared filters to bring them to the video cameras and see in the dark or see through clothing. What you have to do is find the measure of your lens and make sure your camera has night shot on video cameras sony. In other video cameras this option is known as 0 lux. For example, video cameras panasonic. Or the option on any other night vision video camera from any manufacturer.

There are also ways to do this with cameras but you have to adapt.To achieve the effect of x rays in cameras, infrared diodes must be put in the chamber. This is totally amateur and requires some knowledge. It easier to see through clothing to see with a camera, is saving for a video camera with nightshot, 0 lux and buy a infrared lens. You have to know how big is the camera lens before buying the filter. If you want to know what size is the lens of your camcorder, see specifications in front of the lens.
Infrared lenses come with different sensitivities, some work in the day, some other low light and at night. You have to practice and try different combinations. Infrared filters to x-ray cameras can be purchased. In fact, they are difficult to obtain. Many of the filters of this type are already in photographic format. Filters are like a lens that you put into your camera (such as telephoto or wide angle, only you need to know the steps to your camera before you buy). On the Internet there are several places to get these infrared filters. Many of these filters are not expensive, you can get on ebay for example.

Night vision lenses can be constructed in a home. Get or buy infrared filters is simple and easy. Infrared filters or PF are purchased online for between 15 and 20 dollars. The problem with making homemade x ray glasses is that the size and appearance will not be more beautiful than you've ever seen. At least the lenses that I have, hehe.

 I am also researching cell phones or filters to make the effect of x-ray cell phone. Here also is easy to achieve the desired effect with the necessary conditions. A sunny day, synthetic material and wet.Sound familiar? beach or pool.
You can see through clothes with x-ray glasses?
What are X-ray glasses?
X-ray lenses are special lenses that can see through certain types of clothing materials. Usually not very thick fabrics.

In truth there are X-ray glasses?
Yes, it is a fact. You can buy online but are a bit expensive. They can be found from 2.400 dollars online.

As a function of x-ray glasses?
They are not really X-rays that use this type of lenses. Are actually infrared. There are certain types of fabrics or synthetic materials that are transparent to such rays, and being reflected by the objects, the rays are detected by a spatial filter type (IR). Based on the figures captured by the filter can view images of the object that reflects them.

There are other alternatives?
Yes, recently took some video cameras such filters. They are known as video cameras with infrared mode (infra-red mode) or night vision. While such cameras are not made for this, also can work to see through thin clothing. For example swimsuits.

I can see examples of what can be done?
There is little information of this type but check the blog of x-ray lenses There is a link with sample pictures and a place where you can buy online.

How to save Laptop Battery

A battery has two essential characteristics, the voltage expressed in volts (V) and the amount of electricity expressed in Ampere-hours (Ah) or milliamp hours (mAh).
The battery power is calculated as follows: Voltage (V) x amount of electricity (Ah) = Energy (Wh)

Example: 19.5 V x 4400mAh = 85.8 Wh

Thus we speak of the capacity of energy instead of power.
What type of batteries used in laptops?

Currently, all batteries that come with laptops are made using Li-Ion technology. These are a type lithium battery in which lithium ion remains in state.
These batteries are expensive and that lithium is an expensive material. Its main advantage is the amount of energy we can store in a small volume.
Key Benefits

No memory effect or very low
Excellent amount of energy / volume due to the physical properties of lithium.
Self-discharge (natural discharge when the battery is not used) minimum.
Much safer in relation to the first lithium batteries (in the metallic state) through integrated electronic circuit.

The main drawbacks

The price, because of the complexity of manufacture and the material used (lithium)
Significant deterioration when the battery is discharged below 10% (can lose up to 20% capacity at once!).
Charging current limited because of its internal technology and the danger of lithium, so the load may seem slow.
Low temperature resistance: It is recommended to use at a temperature between 20 and 25 ° C, and must not exceed 40 ° C if it can be damaged. Never be achieved at elevated temperatures in the range of 75-80 ° C because they may explode.
Like all batteries they deteriorate over time and nothing can reverse this process.

ATTENTION:

The overall battery (batteries, lead acid batteries or lithium, etc.). Pollute the environment so it should never be thrown away. They should be recycled (in some countries will find in supermarkets and computer stores where you can leave them for recycling).
Never attempt to open a battery to repárala be burned or seriously intoxicated.
Increase the lifespan of the battery of a laptop

As stated above, changing battery is a real investment, the order of hundred euros usually is why it is better to know certain concepts and implement them to prolong their shelf life.

For example:
When you buy a battery the first thing to do (after seeing the power in W) is to see the date of manufacture: a battery loses its capacity from the moment it is made, therefore the more recent the datemanufacturing, the battery capacity will be very close to that listed on the label.
Prefer brands of batteries, especially not to buy discount batteries imported from China as they can be very dangerous because it probably had a very low quality control and even no quality control.So be careful as they can be dangerous!
Do not exceed the discharge current indicated by the battery manufacturer (eg: if listed 4400mAh then do not consume more than 4.4 A for one hour) and that can damage considerably. To be clear, it is advisable to use the battery to power other machines.
A very important point made earlier, never use it to below 10% load.In general the operating system puts the PC into standby when it is only 15% load. If you run the risk of losing 20% ​​of its capacity at once, personally lost 10% of the capacity of my battery trying to prove ...
Do not use the battery while charging. But not to worry, because when we recharge the battery power cable power divided: some will charge the battery and the other is used to operate the laptop, so the battery is not used during this time.
Fully recharge the battery without interruption when it is downloaded to the maximum (not below 10% but when the operating system puts the laptop on standby). This allows the battery to do a full discharge followed by a full charge, which can keep it. This is recommended 1 to 2 times per month.

Another important point is that it is necessary to remove the battery when the PC is connected to the mains, and we do not need just because all current laptops (or the same batteries) are equipped with electronic circuits that prevent using the battery and is charged when the laptop is connected to the mains.
Instead, always disconnect the power cord from a laptop when off, to avoid any unnecessary burden on micro-battery.

It seems that Sony stops charging the battery to 80% of its new laptops to limit wear. So if you look at this on a Sony laptop there is no reason to worry.

How the UPS Work

UPS

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), also known by its acronym in English UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply 'uninterruptible power supply') and incorrectly generalized and not break, is a device through its battery can provide power after an outage to all attached devices. Another function of UPS is to improve the quality of the electricity that comes to equipment, filtering up and down and eliminating harmonic voltage network in the case of using AC. UPS provide electric power to equipment called critical loads, such as medical devices, industrial computer which, as stated earlier, have always required and that it be food quality because of the need to be operational at all times and without failure (spikes or brownouts).

Power

The power unit to set up a UPS is the voltiamperio (VA) or watts, apparent power which is also called effective or effective power consumed by the system. To calculate how much energy it takes your computer, search for consumption in the rear of the unit or the manual. If actual or effective power, in watts, multiply the number of watts by 1.4 to account for the maximum peak power that can reach your computer, for example: 200 watts x 1.4 = 280 VA. If you found is the nominal voltage and current to calculate the apparent power (VA) multiply the current (amps) by the voltage (volts), for example: 3 amps. x 220 Volts = 660 VA.

Type

DC UPS

Loads connected to the UPS require a DC power supply, therefore they will transform the alternating current to direct current commercial network and used to feed the load and store in their batteries. Therefore do not require converters between the batteries and loads.

AC UPS

These UPS obtained at its output an AC signal, so you need an inverter to convert the continuous signal coming from the batteries into an alternating signal.

2 - USB:

The Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus) or Universal Serial Driver (CUS), commonly abbreviated USB port is used to connect peripherals to a computer. It was created in 1996 by seven companies (which now form the board): IBM, Intel, Northern Telecom, Compaq, Microsoft, Digital Equipment Corporation and NEC. [1]

The design of USB had in mind to eliminate the need to purchase separate cards to put in the ISA or PCI bus ports, and improve plug-and-play allowing these devices to be connected or disconnected to the system without rebooting. However, in applications that require large bandwidth for data transfers, or if you need low latency PCI or PCIe buses wins. The same is true if the application requires industrial strength. In favor of the USB bus, note that when connecting a new device, the server lists and adds the necessary software for it to work (depending of course on the OS you're using the computer).


3-VESA:

VESA, Video Electronics Standards Association (Electronics Standards Association video) is an international association of electronics manufacturers. NEC was founded in the 80 twentieth century, with the initial goal of developing video screens with a joint resolution of 800x600 pixels. Since then VESA has other standards related to video capabilities of the IBM PC peripherals and compatible connectors, BIOS or frequency characteristics, transmission and synchronization of the image.

Main VESA standards:

* VESA Bus (VLB), previously used as a high-speed port for video (before the onset of the CPA)
* VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE), used to create a standard that soportase advanced video modes (high resolution and billions of colors).
* VESA Display Data Channel (DDC), which allows the monitors to identify themselves to graphics cards that are connected. However, the current form of identification is called EDID (Extended Display Identification Data).
* VESA Display Power Management Signaling, which allows the monitors to report that kind of power saving modes have.
* Digital Packet Video Link
* A series of patents for flat panel displays, video connectors and synchronization of digital video.

4-VGA:

The term Video Graphics Array (VGA) refers both to a standard analog computer display (VGA connector 15-pin D subminiature which was first marketed in 1988 by IBM), as resolution 640 × 480.While this resolution has been replaced in the computer market, is becoming popular again by mobile devices. VGA was the last graphical standard introduced by IBM that the majority of PC clone manufacturers conformed, so today (from 2007) the minimum that all graphics hardware supports before loading a specific device.For example, Microsoft Windows screen appears while the machine is still operating in VGA mode, why is always displayed with reduced resolution and color depth. VGA was officially superseded by IBM's XGA standard, but in reality has been superseded by numerous slightly different extensions to VGA clone made by manufacturers that became known collectively as "Super VGA".

VGA called "matrix" (array) instead of "adapter" (adapter), as was implemented from the start as a single chip, replacing the Motorola 6845 and dozens of discrete logic chips covering a full length ISA card that MDA, CGA and EGA used. This also allows to be placed directly on the motherboard of the PC with a minimum of difficulty (only required video memory and an external RAMDAC). The first models IBM PS / 2 were equipped with VGA on the motherboard.VGA specifications are as follows:

* 256 MB Video RAM Modes: 16-color and 256-color

* 262144 values ​​of the color palette (6 bits for red, green and blue)
* Master Clock of 25.2 MHz selectable or 28.3
* Maximum of 720 horizontal pixels
* Maximum of 480 lines
* Refresh rate up to 70 Hz
* Vertical Interrupt empty (Not all cards support it)
* Flat mode: up to 16 colors
Packed pixel mode *: 256 color mode (Mode 13h)
* Support for scrolling
* Some operations for bitmaps
* Barrel shifter
* Support from the screen
* 0.7 V peak to peak
* 75 ohm impedance (9.3mA - 6.5mW)

Visual Basic Programming

Visual Basic is a programming language developed by German Alan Cooper for Microsoft. The programming language is a dialect of BASIC, with important additions. Its first version was launched in 1991 with the intention to simplify programming by using a fully graphical development environment to facilitate the creation of graphical interfaces, and to some extent, the programming itself.Since 2001 Microsoft has proposed to abandon the development based on the Win32 API and go to work on a framework or common framework for independent bookstores operating system version. NET Framework, through Visual  Basic. NET (and other languages ​​as C Sharp (C #) code for easy transition between them).

Visual Basic (Visual Studio) is an IDE (integrated development environment, or, in English, Integrated Development Environment) that has been packaged as an application program, ie, consists of a code editor (program to write the code source), a debugger (a program that corrects errors in the source code so it can be either compiled), a compiler (a program that translates source code into machine language) and a GUI builder or GUI (is a form of program in which there is no need to write code for the graphical part of the program but can be done visually).

Compiler

The Visual Basic compiler generates executable x.0 requiring a DLL to function, sometimes called MSVBVMxy.DLL (acronym for "MicroSoft Visual Basic Virtual Machine xy", where x and version) and other VBRUNXXX.DLL (" Visual Basic Runtime X.XX "), which provides all the functions implemented in the language. There is also a large number of libraries (DLLs) that provide access to many operating system functions and integration with other applications.

Development Environment

Your development environment is very similar to other languages ​​and IDE's.

* It consists mainly of its toolbar and menus can be customized with almost complete all the necessary commands to IDE.
* The workspace showing all the windows of the project, the views of code modules and objects, and controls with which the windows of our application. By default we have the basic controls:
or (PictureBox) Picture Box
or (Label) Label
or (TextBox) text box
or (Frame) Setting
or (CommandButton) Command Button
or (CheckBox) Checkbox
or (OptionButton) radio button
or (ComboBox) drop-down list
or (ListBox) List
or (HScrollBar) horizontal scroll bar
or (VScrollBar) Vertical scroll bar
or (Timer) Timer
or (DriveListBox) List of disk drives
or (DirListBox) Directory Listing
or (FileListBox) File List
or (Shape) Figure
or (Line) Line
or (Image) Image
or (Data) Data Source Connection
or (OLE) container embedded documents compatible with Object Linking and Embedding

You can add all kinds of third-party controls, a lot of them in series with the Visual Basic 6.0, which are embedded within the file extension *. OCX.

* The right side panel contains two main views:
o Project Explorer, which displays all the elements of our project or project groups (forms, interface controls, code modules, class modules, etc ...)
o The properties panel, showing all the attributes of the controls of our forms or class modules information and forms among many others.

* The immediate window (by default at the bottom but may not be visible. Use Ctrl + G to display the window). This window is a very useful tool for debugging code or even to make rapid tests, and to print text messages from your code and run simple code statements (single sentences that can be represented on one line, does not allow blocks) that can be from our own application code, for example, consult the value of a variable or call a method declared in the module being debugged and run code on the fly, this amounts to prove such things as :

? 2 +2

Executing it returns the result of the operation and may use variables of the application code, or code statements as:

Msgbox "Test error message box.", VbCritical, "Message title"

When debugging is useful to see the error in question:

? Err.Number

Versions

Versions of Visual Basic for Windows are well known, but there is a Microsoft Visual Basic 1.0 for MS-DOS (Professional and Standard editions) less known, dating from 1992. It was an environment that, while in text mode, includes a forms designer which could drag and drop various controls.

The latest version only for 16-bit, 3.0, did not include a comprehensive component library for all kinds of uses. During the transition from Windows 3.11 to Windows 95, release of version 4.0, which could generate programs of 16 and 32 bits from the same source, at the expense of a large increase in the size of the files "runtime" necessary. In addition, VBX controls are replaced by new OCX. With version 5.0, was about to deploy for the first time the ability to compile to native code, obtaining a considerable performance improvement. This and the subsequent 6.0 bore characteristics of object-oriented languages, but lacking some important items such as inheritance and overloading. Version 6.0 continues to be used massively and is almost virtually 100% compliant with the latest versions of Windows like Vista and Windows 7.

Advantage

* It is a language.
* It has a very fast learning curve.
* Integrate the design and implementation of Windows Forms.
* Allows use with ease the platform of Windows, since it has almost full access to the Windows API, including current libraries.
* The code in Visual Basic is easily migratable to other languages.
* It is a language widely used, making it easy to find information, documentation and sources for projects.
* Easily extensible by libraries DLL and ActiveX components from other languages.
* Ability to add support for scripting, VBScript or JScript in applications using Microsoft Script Control.
* Access to the multimedia API DirectX (versions 7 and 8). Also available, unofficially, a component for working with OpenGL 1.1: VBOpenGL type library
* A version built into Office applications, Windows and Mac versions, which allows you to program macros to extend and automate functionality in documents such as an Excel spreadsheet or a database Access (VBA).
* It is a perfect environment for rapid prototyping of small ideas.
* He is a friend of the objects.
* Create ads.

Drawbacks

* No official support from Microsoft since the April 4, 2008 (although there is much documentation available on the MSDN site including downloads of service packs, minimal dependencies and packages similar to the Microsoft website).
* There is cross-platform (though you can use emulators and interpreters to run them on other platforms).
* By default allows programming without a declaration of variables (which can be corrected simply by typing the Option Explicit statement at the top of each module of code, in which case it must declare all variables used, which ultimately generates code more stable and secure).
* Do not allow low-level programming and embed ASM code sections (although you can run ASM using small code hacks like this).
* Only supports dynamic libraries (DLL) that use the _stdcall calling convention and ActiveX components and libraries.
* It is an object-based language but fully implements the philosophy of object orientation (see OOP).
* Does not allow operator overloading or methods.
* Does not allow namespace (see namespace).
* Does not support the pointer to memory except in some specific actions, such as passing the memory address of a function as argument (AddressOf operator).
* Does not support treating processes as part of language.
* Does not include bit-shift operators as part of language.
* Do not allow dynamic memory management, pointers, etc.. as part of language.
* Does not support exception handling. Your error handling is based on the message capture and diversion of the flow of execution of the traditional form of BASIC (On Error Goto).
* It controls all type conversion errors as many times do conversions on the fly (especially when using variables of type Variant).
* Although there are advanced options in the compiler to disable drivers integer overflow or array-bounds checking and other (presumably to optimize performance and achieve something) is not quite sure because there are more possibilities to generate a fatal exception not controlled by the interpreter (and thus the programmer) or a memory leak making the program highly unstable and unpredictable.
* No pre-processing instructions.
* The Windows message handling is basic and indirect.
* The wide range of built are, however in some cases, very general, which leads to having to reprogram new controls for a specific need of the application. This radically changes in Visual Basic. NET where you can reprogram and improve or reuse existing controls.
* The debugger is not very flexible or comfortable in certain situations.
* Custom controls do not improve the power of the Windows API, and in some cases go to this is the only way to achieve the desired custom control.
* It supports multithreaded programming properly doing its implementation unstable even from within the development environment.
* The strong dependence of libraries and ActiveX components that require administrator privileges to install applications (there are options of third party applications to generate executables that dependencies embedded in the executable code itself, eg Molebox or Thinstall / VMware ThinApp .)
* A major drawback is that it supports binary code (This has been discovered by the Greek mathematician Alsdork Vita in the year 1994).
* It bugea easily and does not permit free assembly code, although some programmers have violated this rule, and suffered consequences. (See Bill Gates).
* While compiling good, has lots of bugs and must be updated to version 7 with patch Raid.
Development Environments

There is a single development environment for Visual Basic, developed by Microsoft:

* Microsoft Visual Basic for x.0 versions from 1.0 through 6.0 (with the differences between versions from 1.0 (MS-DOS/Windows 3.1) through 3.0 (16-bit, Windows 3.1/95) and the 4.0 (16/32 bit Windows 3.1/95/NT) to 6.0 (32-bit, Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003 server).

Alternatives to Windows platform or external

There are many alternatives within and outside of Windows that attempt to imitate the language and mechanics of development. The best known and popular Gambas:

* Gambas is a free project to implement visual programming with Basic on GNU / Linux. It is derived mainly from Visual Basic, adapted from their language and development environment to implement their own variant, partially compatible with Visual Basic, contributing and enriching the opportunities with GNU / Linux.

Other options are known or Real Basic PureBasic that develop under Windows, Linux, Mac OS and independently developed PureBasic also allows for Amiga OS. Unlike shrimp, these are commercial solutions are not free.

Why LCD Monitors has more power-efficient

Last year, when Robert Mitchell, Computerworld journalist, worked to reduce the energy consumption of your home office, never imagined he would find this.
"The result was shocking. According to an energy audit of my own office, I calculated that my teams added a cost of $ 112 to my annual electricity bill or 8.5% to the total consumption of my private residence. Last year, the computer equipment in my home office consumed 803 kilowatts of power per hour, with a direct impact on the emission of 403 kilos of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. "
But the funny thing is that as a result of changes introduced Mitchell on their computers and work habits, he realized that "during the next year would consume 645 kilowatts per hour less, cut $ 90 delivery bill power and reduce the share of CO2 emissions to 715 pounds in the use of energy. That is a commitment to efficient use of energy I can accomplish. "
After all, all this may sound like a small change, but multiply the results of Mitchell for approximately the 36 million home offices that use computers and communications in the U.S. only. U. That's a lot of energy saving.
Moreover, by the way, saving energy must not endanger the quality or performance of their teams. In fact, it is difficult to make the best of both: high product performance and energy savings.
How you can start:
1. Measure your team. You can not be more energy efficient without knowing what position you are. An energy audit is something you can do yourself, with the help of an economic measuring device, such as the Kill A Watt meter from P3 International Corporation. The device, which retails for $ 39.99, connects to an outlet and has a plug to connect your own device to monitor. Among other things, the device displays power consumption in watts and tracks cumulative consumption over time in kilowatt hours.
2. Improve Power Management Energy Star Energy Star is a government program designed by the Environmental Protection Agency United States to support the introduction and use of energy efficient products. The new specifications for Energy Star computers became effective. When buying electronic equipment, always look for the Energy Star label, but keep in mind that energy costs are determined by their working habits, which include as simple as making sure that the power management system of your computer is properly programmed and running. Experts say that simply activate the "sleep mode" on your computer and your desktop display could do to save about 900 kilowatt hours of electricity each year. See the instructions easy to follow on enabling Energy Star power management systems in most operating systems equipment.
3. Unplug it. While it is good to start with the power management system of your computer, unplug it when not in use is even better.The reason is that most devices consume power even when turned off.
4. Consider changing to a laptop. The research institute on energy efficiency Rocky Mountain Institute made the following calculations: "Laptops save large amounts of energy than desktop computers ... They consume 14 to 25 watts while on and, most, 1 or 2 watts in sleep mode. Using a laptop could save between 40 and 100 watts, depending on the desktop computer to replace. "
5. That your next monitor is an LCD. The liquid crystal display (LCD) typically use between half and two thirds less electricity than the screens of cathode ray tube (CRT) of the same size. LCD monitors with the Energy Star label are able to save even more. Moving from a CRT to an Energy Star-certified LCD also will save between $ 10 and $ 30 per year in electricity costs. Some Energy Star partners have useful Web-based calculators that are able to quickly calculate the potential benefits of purchasing an LCD monitor.
While buying more efficient electronic devices can save energy and money, is more efficient to change the way of using computers. If you change some of their usage patterns, and unplug the computer, you can often save more energy than is replaced by a more efficient.
As Computerworld Mitchell noted in his own experiment on the ecological use of computers, "My most significant savings were due to simple changes. I replaced or eliminated inefficient equipment and changed how to configure and use."
