CAMERA OFFERS THREE-IN-ONE SOLUTION
Multifunction peripherals for a computer isn't a new
concept. Many companies offer peripherals that combine a
printer, fax machine, scanner and copier housed in a single
device. But just about every one of these multifunction units
I've seen is based around paper which makes sense since
printers, faxes, scanners and copiers all use or relate to paper
in one way or another. But recently I stumbled onto another
multifunction peripheral that doesn't use paper at all. And if I
had to find a common factor between its different functions, I
would have to say it's data in the form of images and sound...
ALSO: An MP3 player that fits into the dashboard of your
car! |
|

REMOVABLE DRIVE IS APTLY NAMED
Removable media is usually defined as some type of non-fixed
storage that can be easily added and removed to an existing
computer. One of the earliest examples was the simple floppy
disk. Since then I've seen and will probably continue to see all
sorts of these devices and media come and go. The most popular
continue to be Iomega's Zip and Jaz disks, their second
generation incarnations holding an increased size of 250
megabytes and 2 gigabytes respectively. But these capacities
still fall short of what's needed with today's 20 to 60 gigabyte
and beyond capacity hard drives. And although there are several
large capacity streaming tape formats that can accommodate the
larger storage requirements, these tapes are still serial
devices that need to be wound and rewound in order to access
information. |

ALTERNATIVE INPUT FOR YOUR PALM
Despite major competition and their recent financial
troubles, the Palm personal digital assistant (PDA) continues to
be one of the most popular handheld computing devices on the
market. Palm's two new models and their newly released Palm 4.0
operating system should contribute to its popularity. As with
anything popular, many third party products have been made for
the Palm and Seiko Instruments has just released an interesting
new input device for those of us who seek an alternative to the
stylus or keyboard. The SmartPad2 lets users of virtually all
brands of PDA's running the Palm Operating System to instantly
transfer handwritten notes and drawings from paper to the PDA
via the infrared port. ALSO, Ok, so you're into Napster
and downloading MP3 music to your computer. You've even created
your own music collections and burning your own CDs. A single
audio CDs can only hold around 12 or 13 tracks whereas your MP3
CDs can hold up to 170 of your favorite hits. Just one of these
MP3 CDs can play up to 10 hours of music! The problem is that
you can only play these MP3 CDs on your computer's CD drive. You
were out of luck if you wanted to take the tunes with you
because your potable CD player can't play the MP3 disks. But
fear not. The solution is now to be found in the new Evergreen
Portable MP3-CD Player that can play both audio and MP3 CDs. |

MP3 IS FOR COMPUTER, TRAVEL AND HOME
Digital audio is a wonderful thing. It offers total control
over what you hear and unlike conventional analog sound, there
is no audio degradation no matter how often it is duplicated.
The only major downside is that digital audio files take up lots
of storage space. Applying compression made the files smaller
but the sound quality suffered. Something new was needed and
thus MP3 was born. MP3 is a compression standard specifically
designed to make audio files smaller while preserving the
quality of the aural experience. But although MP3 is really
good, it still isn't perfect. As more MP3 compression is added
to an audio file, the sound quality degrades. Without getting
too technical, most agree that a compression factor of 128 bits
per second produces near-CD audio quality music. There are
several popular programs that will convert analog sounds to
digital audio and add the MP3 compression. |

CAPTURE THE INTERNET, FOREVER
How many times have you bookmarked a web page location or
try and save a web site screen only to find that part or all of
it is missing when you return at a later time? Using your
browser to take a "snapshot" of a page usually misses many of
the images, sounds and animations. MemoWeb 3 is the answer!
Also, huge external USB hard drives and tiny portable USB
scanners from OliVision! |

FREE LONG DISTANCE CALLS VIA INTERNET UPDATED
I remember when "voice over IP" technology was introduced
and all the fervor it caused. Basically, this technology allows
anyone to make free long distance phone calls by using the
Internet. Anyone who has downloaded or exchanged MP3 music files
knows that you can send audio recordings online, video can be
viewed, text can be read and photos displayed. So it was a
simple leap to come up with a method to send and receive vocal
transmissions.
Many thought that phone companies would collapse or at least try
and stop the technology. But anyone who has used voice over IP
is all too familiar with its poor sound quality along with
echoes and noticeable delays. And even though most of these
voice over IP services are free aside from the normal Internet
access service charges, most find the sound quality and delays
so objectionable that they just wind up using the telephone. But
it turns out the culprit most responsible for the bad quality
really isn't the Internet as most of us have been lead to
believe. It's the computer's sound card. |

TIME TO UPGRADE TO PENTIUM 4?
QUESTION: I currently own a Pentium III based system
and my friend owns a Pentium II. We know that the Pentium 4 is a
faster chip. Is speed the only thing we should consider before
deciding whether to upgrade to the Pentium 4 or are there other
considerations? Can I upgrade my system or do I have to buy a
whole new computer?
ANSWER: Basically faster speeds, larger capacities and
added abilities are the three main reasons that drive most of us
to eventually upgrade to a newer computer. And Intel's Pentium 4
microprocessor embraces all of them. Although the Pentium 4
represents Intel's latest and fastest consumer microprocessor
chip, Intel's intent was not just to come out with something
faster but to come out with something better. For example, the
Pentium 4 with the proper software will be able to multitask
which means it can to do more than one thing at the same time. |

LASER ADDRESSES BOTH SIDES OF THE PAGE
QUESTION: I'm very happy with my current color inkjet
printer. So what's the story with laser printers? Color lasers
still are very expensive, so please explain any advantages
offered with the black and white models if any.
ANSWER: Laser printers have several advantages over
inkjets. For starters, they print faster and cheaper than
inkjets. Depending on the model, lasers usually print around 12
pages per minute (ppm). Costs usually average somewhere around 1
to 2 cents per page. Lasers usually can hold more paper to be
printed in their trays and toner (powered ink) cartridges
average around 3000 pages before needing a change. Most lasers
also have their own memory, processor and page layout language
such as PostScript. This means the computer needs only to send a
minimal amount of data and the printer handles all of the
processing needed to produce the document. This nice arrangement
frees your computer to do other things while your documents are
printing out. |

WIRELESS INTERNET FOR PORTABLE COMPUTERS
How many times have you been in a taxi, on a train or some
other location where a phone jack was not available and you
really wished you could go online? Or maybe you've never been in
a scenario where being online was imperative but wouldn't it be
nice if you could get access just about anywhere? Think of the
extra work you could accomplish and time saved if you could
access the internet during those incommunicado periods. Well the
folks at Smith Micro Software have come up with a solution.
Basically, their QuickLink Mobile 2000 software converts your
ordinary digital cell phone into a wireless modem. |

PRODUCT DESIGNS YOUR ELECTRONIC STORE
You've been thinking about bringing your business online to
reach a potential global market. Or you have a product or
service that you know everyone will want but you don't know even
where to begin when it comes to creating an online store.
Creating a business to consumer e-store can be intimidating to
even those who are fairly computer literate. |

SAVE IT ALL IN YOUR PC
Back in the olden days of personal computers or about 15
years ago, I clearly remember my exasperation when pressed to
answer 'What is it good for?" Back then, most didn't understand
the longing to own and command my very own piece of computing
technology. We computing enthusiasts had only a few lame
sounding albeit good answers to offer up in defense of our
expensive purchase. Checkbook balancing, word processing,
spreadsheet and database were the applications most commonly
listed. And I still remember wincing when someone said they
could balance their checkbook better with a pencil. Fortunately
these days, it's no longer a struggle to justify a computer with
things like the Internet, email, desktop publishing and
countless other computing applications. |

APPLE TITANIUM G4 TO DIE FOR
Recently unveiled at Apple MacWorld, the Titanium PowerBook
G4 has got to be Apple's sexiest notebook yet. Unfortunately,
just because a computer is sexy doesn't mean it will sell well,
especially if it's too expensive. Apple's track record with sexy
but expensive hardware such as its now defunct Anniversary Mac
and the so far sluggish sales of the G4 Cube, has been
lackluster at best. I think the main problems with Apple's
specialty computers are that their owners have to give up power
and certain features that are available on other current models.
For example, Cube owners lack the expansion PCI slots found on
every other G4 model. But it looks like the Titanium G4 breaks
these patterns. |

INTERNET HELPS TO FIND LOST STUFF
Most of us have lost something valuable. When it happened to
me, my first reaction was to call the Lost and Found department
in hopes that some Good Samaritan had done the right thing and
turned it in. Was I being naive? Not according to StuffBak's
president Scott Edwards who recently as an experiment for an
insurance company intentionally lost 51 cell phones at airports,
rest rooms, hotels, restaurants and other public locations. In
less then three weeks, over 50 percent of the phones using his
StuffBak system were returned and more are still coming in.
Edwards points out that if people are inherently dishonest as so
many believe, why then does just about every public place have a
Lost and Found department? Given the results of StuffBak's
experiment, perhaps the reason so many things don't get returned
is because their finders don't know to whom the lost items
belong. Edwards is convinced that most people want to do the
right thing. His StuffBak system is helping them do it. |

IBM INTRODUCES THINKPAD WITH REAL PAD
There are all sorts of notebook computers with all the usual
peripherals found on a desktop model. But IBM has added a new
and novel input device to their highly successful ThinkPad line
of laptops; a notepad. The TransNote combines a ThinkPad with a
real paper notepad on which you can scribble handwritten notes.
But anything and everything you write can be instantly
transferred into the computer. According to IBM, this heralds a
new series trend that will let users access the computer using
more traditional ways of recording information such as
handwriting. |

MULTIFUNCTION PERIPHERALS OFFER ADVANTAGES
As I see it, peripherals that perform more than one function
really have only one main disadvantage over their single minded
counterparts. If a multifunction unit breaks down, you're
suddenly going to find yourself without a lot of peripherals,
and all at the same time. While it's true that's a very big
disadvantage, I still think the pros make these devices worth
consideration. Performance could be another disadvantage. I say
it could be because performance varies from model to model. For
example, it used to be that the printer component would be of
less quality or speed, than a stand-alone printer. However, many
multifunction units are as good or can even outperform dedicated
units. So it's best to check and compare the specifications
before you buy. |

INTERNET APPLIANCE MAY GET IT RIGHT
Unlike a personal computer that can be used for a wide
variety of applications, an "Internet appliance" is an
electronic device that's strictly designed to give its user
access to online services such as email and web browsing. Yet
the Internet appliance has had trouble with consumer acceptance.
Most companies who have produced first generation models have
either had to scrap them, while others have gone out of
business. |

ONE APPLICATION COORDINATES OTHERS
The average computer user typically runs around four or more
programs in a given day. Email, word processor, browser and
database applications exemplify the average session. With so
many applications bringing in and processing information from
countless sources, wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of
master program that could manage all of it, organize and even
point out related items that we might otherwise miss? That
program has a name and it's aptly called "onespace" since it
does a very good job of bringing everything to you and putting
what you need to see into one space on your screen. |

LISTENING TO INTERNET RADIO BROADCASTS
QUESTION: What software do I need to do in order for my
computer to be able to play live radio broadcasts from the
Internet? ANSWER: Audio from the web comes in two basic
forms. The first requires you to download some type of audio
file in its entirety. After downloading, you use a variety of
available sound players to listen to the file. For example, an
MP3 song file has a defined length and size. To play the song,
you download the entire file and then use an MP3 player to enjoy
the performance. The second type lets you hear the audio while
the file is downloading. This method is referred to as
“streaming audio” and is the preferred method used by most every
radio station that provides live audio content on the web. If
you think about it, streaming is the only way live audio can be
provided since unlike a recording, there really is no beginning
or ending other than the times you start and finish listening. |

FIREWIRE HARD DRIVES A GOOD ALTERNATIVE
If you're looking to add another hard drive to your
computer, you may want to consider the newest generation of
external drives that connect via the FireWire standard. Also
known as the IEEE 1394 interface standard, FireWire is the new
breed of high speed interface standards becoming popular on
today's personal computers. Also, firewalls for your
Macintosh. |
