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."

How do you think of LCD Panel Pricing Rising

This could be just the beginning. DisplaySearch says panel makers are likely to increase notebook panel pricing due to component shortages and labor issues in China. Meanwhile, larger TV panel prices will continue to remain flat, says DisplaySearch, who pointed out that demand for 42- and 46-inch models is starting to level out.
Even with the rising prices, consumers aren't real likely to notice. Notebooks are cheaper than ever before and continue to come down in price overall. We're not talking about skyrocketing prices here, but an adjustment of +$3, on average, in the first half of February, and another +$1 in the second half.
According to DisplaySearch, LCD panel prices for monitors and notebooks has gone up a bit in the second half of February, while TV and netbook panels haven't budged.
EETI had started working with US-based Cypress Semiconductor back in April to develop capacitive touch panels, and that forward thinking might soon pay off. In addition to riding the netbook craze, the company plans to churn out 12.1-inch panels for notebook applications as well. We hear the makers of monitor wipes are ecstatic at what could become a new trend.
In anticipation of this upcoming demand, Taiwan-based Egalax_empia Technology Incorporated (EETI) has begun developing multi-touch panels for both netbooks and notebooks. The company expects to kick production into high gear by the end of 2008 for 7-inch panels, says DigiTimes. What do you think? Just leave your message here.

Some new information about the new Dell Mini 10

There are still some details missing such as an expected launch date and what, if any, other upgrades can be expected to the existing hardware. It can be expected that Dell will launch the WiMax models with compatibility with Clear and Sprint, as they are currently the only widely available 4G network providers.
An FCC filing from Dell leaked some new information about the new Mini 10 that is expected to be released later this year. The upgraded netbook will feature Intel’s latest WiFi-Link 6250, which incorporates 4G WiMax and 802.11n wireless support onto a single chip.
The 10.1-inch Dell weighs 2.6 pounds and sports an Intel Atom Z520 processor. Other specs include a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, 1.3MP webcam, integrated Intel 500 graphics, a 5-in-1 media card reader, Bluetooh, WiFi, and Windows XP Home. In other words, nothing sexy like a dual-booting Android platform or anything else to separate the Mini 10 from the standard netbook fare.
While not particularly exciting, it's hard to argue with the price. Just be sure to factor in the cost of the service agreement, which includes 5GB of data for $60 per month. That comes out to an extra $1,440 over the next two years.

Good News for Notebooks, Eamex Extends Battery Life

The technology we're referring to comes from a Japanese company called Eamex, who says it has discovered a way to increase the life of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. We tend to give this one a bit more credibility, if only because Eamex isn't talking about a theoretical tech that could eventually lead to the demise of lithium-ion.
Unlike other battery technologies, you don't have to wait a decade for this one to come to market. Eamex says it will ship a battery with about 10,000W of power per kilogram (suitable for electric cars and scooters) by the end of 2010.
What Eamex has done is figure out a way to stabilize the electrodes and prevent the deterioration of tin. Why's this important? Because it means the batteries can withstand a lot more charge and discharge cycles. We're talking about over 10,000 cycles with a shelf life of 20 years. By comparison, Apple says a MacBook or MacBook Pro battery can withstand about 1,000 cycles over about 5 years of constant use.
Do you know how often we hear about promising new battery technologies every year? Over 4 million times. That's what it feels like, anyway, even if we're way off in our estimation. But here's another number: One. That's how many battery breakthroughs we expect to materialize in an actual product in 2010.

Help to Extend Windows 7 Notebook Battery Life

We recently featured an easy to use battery monitoring application called BattCursor for Windows Vista. BattCursor keeps the user well aware of the status of your battery, while also showcasing battery saving features such as automatically dimming the computer display or turning off Aero. BattCursor is also compatible with the new Windows 7, and will be helpful in improving upon the battery saving benefits already allowed by newest version of Windows.
One of the main benefits of the recently released Windows 7 is the reported 10%-20% improvement in battery life brought about by the new program from Microsoft. Still though, even with this reduction in power consumption brought about by Windows 7, any other methods of extending the life of your notebook’s battery are always welcome.
Another way to boost the battery life of notebooks featuring both Windows 7 and Windows Vista is the use of a small tray utility called Aerofoil. Aerofoil will automatically disable the Windows Aero Glass interface and optionally switch Windows Power Plans, Windows Sidebar and sound off when your notebook is running on it’s battery.

Aerofoil extends Windows 7 notebook battery life by:
-Allowing you to manually disable Aero Glass.
-Optionally managing Aero Glass user interface.
-Optionally managing sound muting.
-Optionally managing YOUR chosen power plans.
-Optionally managing Windows Sidebar.
-Optionally showing a quick hibernate button.
-Changing icon color to show your power type.

How to Boost laptop Battery Life

Most notebook manufactures don`t tell all the truth about their machines` battery life. When a notebook manufacturer tells you that their machine will last up to 4-5 hours, never take it at face value. The claim of notebook manufactures might be usually true under ideal circumstances, but we hardly find situations ideal in our day to day life. In order to make sure that the battery of your laptop lasts up to your expectation, there are a number of tips you can follow.
Here are some of the essential guidelines you can follow to take control of your notebook`s battery.
Keep external devices unplugged - It is always advisable to keep your external devices unplugged, be it your PC cards, external speakers, external mouse, Bluetooth or even an attached iPod. These are USB devices that offer much load on the battery power and hence unplug them, when not in use.
Remove the CD/DVD drives when not in use - Avoid leaving CD/DVDs in the drives when you are not using them. This is important because a spinning drive drains away battery power, thus reducing its life. Set the lowest level for screen light - LDC screen lights put immense load on battery power. It is always better to keep the brightness level as low as it is convenient for you. For this, you can use either the Display Settings applet in the Control Panel or the Function key toggles.
Reduce the volume and use of multimedia software - Multimedia software and installed sound schemes are complete drain on battery power. Avoid there usage when not required. Mute the speakers when not listening. All this will result in longer battery life.
Avoid using several programs at a time - Using too many programs at the same time can kill your battery life. Moreover, there are some programs like graphic intensive applications like video games that consume lot of battery power. Try to minimize their use and avoid running multiple programs simultaneously because they will shorten your battery life.
Go for additional RAM - It is often recommended to use adequate RAM to reduce load on the hard drive. Although additional RAM may consume more power, it actually results in over all more savings because it reduces the power consumption requirements of the hard drive.

Lithium-Ion Battery Flights

While many of the major industries around the world are singing praises for lithium-ion batteries and the capabilities and opportunities they present, one major industry in particular has grown weary of a slight risk that has been associated with the ultra-popular battery chemistry.
The Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, the largest pilots union in the world, has called on the U.S. government and Federal Aviation Administration to halt the shipment of lithium-ion batteries, as well as products containing the batteries, from all passenger and cargo planes until new regulations are in place to ensure the safe transport of what they call “hazardous” materials.
Three incidents in particular have been sited among the ALPA’s call for the halt of lithium-ion batteries in cargo and passenger flights. Apparently flights containing e-cigarettes, used batteries, and another that was carrying a shipment of lithium-ion “bicycle-power devices” resulted in fire, smoke, or evidence of fire in just the past two months.
So far the FAA has said they’re isn’t enough evidence to take any immediate action. With that being said, the ALPA says they are prepared to take their battle to congress if their calls for restrictions go unheard.
ALPA calls on the agencies charged with protecting the public from hazardous materials to issue an immediate ban on lithium battery shipments to protect airline passengers, crews and cargo until the proper safety regulations are in place and can be enforced,” said ALPA’s President, Capt. John Prater.
