PC gaming and to give the industry a public voice

Perhaps the most interesting addition out of the above companies is Arxan, which is in the business of DRM. That might seem like an odd coupling, but according to company CTO Kevin Morgan, as part of the PCGA, Arxan looks to "ensure that due consideration is given to the protection of intellectual property, preservation of game integrity, and unobtrusive DRM models."

"These members bring a wealth of experience and a rich diversity of products and services to the PCGA that will significantly enhance our existing membership base", said Randy Stude, PCGA president. "By joining our rapidly growing organization, they are demonstrating their support for expanding the PC Gaming industry and their commitment to improving the PC gaming experience."

It was a busy day all around for the PCGA, which also named Min-Liang Tan, the CEO of Razer, as the organization's Board director.

Arxan Technologies, Corsair, and Logitech have all joined on as new members with the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA), the non-profit consortium whose goal is to promote PC gaming and to give the industry a public voice.

"We’re honored to be elected to the PC Gaming Alliance Board of Directors," said Min-Liang Tan, CEO, Razer. "There is so much synergy between Razer’s core DNA - an essence of pure commitment to improving the PC gaming experience with state-of-the-art peripherals - and this organization’s drive to establish high standards and quality guidelines for the evolving industry at large. Both Razer and the PC Gaming Alliance are dedicated to addressing the needs of a maturing cat information, you can visit here: Dell PA-12 AC Adapter(Input: AC100-240Vegory and its largely sophisticated audience."

Toshiba Unveils 21-Inch 3D Display and review

Toshiba says its new 21-inch display adopts a lens sheet to control reduction in surface luminance intensity so that it's every bit as bright as a standard 2D display. When it will ship and for how much remains to be seen, but Toshiba isn't alone here. Both Sharp and Hitachi are working on autosterescopic 3D displays of their own, though on a smaller scale.

"To date most 3D products have used special glasses to separate a picture into two images: one for the left eye and the other for the right eye," Toshiba explains. "But the market has strongly desired a more versatile and glasses-free approach that could be used anywhere. This new product employs an integral imaging system (a “light field” display) to reproduce a real object as a 3D image that can be viewed without glasses over a wide range of viewing angles.

Word on the Web is that one or both of these manufacturers will provide the 3D panel for Nintendo's upcoming 3DS handheld. Therefore, the display is suitable for 3D monitors used for advertisements and entertainment appliances."

Here's a buzzword to remember: Autostereoscopic. What is it? Put simply, it's a type of display that allows for 3D content without having to wear any funny looking glasses, and several major manufacturers are jumping on board. Toshiba is one of the first out of the gates with an autostereoscopic high-definition display, which measures 21 inches and supports a 1280x800 pixel resolution

Dell are working on a Windows Phone 7 device called the Lightning

Expected launch will be sometime in Q4 of this year. No carrier partner was listed, but there's one more surprise. Dell expects to release an LTE version of the phone in late 2011. Not telling is this phone will still look as good by then, but we're plenty excited to see it come out.

The Lightning is expected to have a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 4.1-inch WVGA OLED touchscreen, a 5MP autofocus camera, and support for both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G bands. Dell is also including an FM radio function and the usual Wi-Fi, GPS, and accelerometer support.

There will be 1GB of flash memory built in, with an additional 8GB MicroSD card. Oddly, the documents leaked to Engadget seem to indicate the SD card is not user-accessible. Dell also indicated there would be full support for Adobe Flash; we're interested to see what Adobe has to say about that.

It looks like Dell is really taking the smartphone space seriously, with news that they are working on a Windows Phone 7 device called the Lightning. The phone looks to be the rarely seen portrait QWERTY slider form factor. With most Phone 7 devices we've seen looking like pretty similar landscape sliders, this is a breath of fresh air. The image is only a render, but the design looks very elegant. The specs are also looking good.

Budget Benefits to Choose Cheap Laptop

When purchasing items over the internet they tend to be less than in store. The reason for this is that when something is bought from a shop you are paying for the maintenance and energy bills involved in the shop as well as staff wages.

With the internet the owners don't need fancy signs or any where near as many people working for them, plus advertising is much cheaper so of course having less overheads allows them to give a better discount. Every time the latest model comes in the next one down goes down in price so if you are not looking for the latest model and are happy with the next one down then you will be able to save so much on what you would pay for the latter.

The one main misconception people have is that going cheap means that the quality is less than buying an expensive one. This need not be the case as there are many reasons why the price may be lower for one computer that has the same specifications as another.

The first is that because of the economic crisis some businesses have had to fold meaning that they have sold their stock on to others a lot cheaper than they would have done originally which means that those people can benefit when you buy but not have to charge as much as the original dealer.

Buying laptops that have been reconditioned is another way you can benefit. It means you sill have the benefit of a nearly new computer, maybe one that someone has tried but not been able to keep up with the repayments so they have to return it meaning that this is to your saving.

Desktops are OK if you tend to use the computer only at home and in the same room but for most of us the convenience of being able to take it with us wherever has meant more and more people are looking to buy a laptop instead. Cheap laptops are easy to come by when you know where to look.

Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter Power Plug Fix

Problem is, I don't want to risk my laptop if it turns out it wasn't put that way. I would definitely hate myself if mistake happens since instead of saving money for new Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter, I burnt my laptop which is way more than the Dell AC Adapter.

You might ask why the barrel is necessary. Well it isn't really necessary, but I just think that it adds protection to your soldered wires as you will see on the next steps. Moreover, I think they look more aesthetically pleasing than having a bumpy wire with bunch of electrical tapes wrapped around.

Steps to prepare the barrel
1. Remove the tip of the marker as well as the ink holder part of it.
2. Bore a hole on the other tip of the barrel and we are done with the marker barrel for now.

Cut the Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter cord
So now we move on prepping the cords.

Generic Dell AC Adapter
1. Cut the cord to desired length. Make sure to leave enough cord length so you could actually solder it to the original laptop ac adapter cord. As for me, I left a little bit wire on the plug (one that goes to the outlet) side because I might need the Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter and reuse it in the future.
2. Insert the cord in the barrel.
3. Strip the wires, exposing the wires.

Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter
1. I cut the loose plug that needs replacing.
2 Insert the cord in the tip part of the marker.
3. Strip the wires, exposing the wires.

Link Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter
So now we have come to the point of soldering the two cords.

As for me I did a little bit of checking in this step. Using a multimeter, I made sure that I am connecting the wires correctly. So here is how I did it.

1. Check your Dell Inspiron 1100 AC Adapter and it should show a diagram there what the polarity is. I've included a picture below showing myDell AC Adapter's polarity. As illustrated in the picture, the outer conductor of the plug must be negative and the core of the plug must be positive for my case.
2. With CARE, plug in your laptop ac adapters making sure that the exposed wires are not touching. Check which wire is positive and which is negative and take note of them.
3. Now, take your generic plug and check which wire is connected to the outer conductor of plug and which is connected to inner. Make sure you take note of this.
4. Look at your notes and match which wires connect to what.
5. Start soldering the inner part of the wire.
6. Cover the first soldered connection with electrical tape.
7. Solder the last pair of wires.
8. Protect them by wrapping electrical tape on it.

Sealing the barrel
First of all before I sealed the barrel, I just added a little protection to the connections. I added zip ties on both ends of the soldered section. Reason is, in case someone pulled the cord strongly, then the zip ties will prevent the wires from disconnecting.

So with zip ties in place. I sealed the barrel. And now viola! Just by following the steps you got yourself fixed AC power plug.
