There is life, online, after Microsoft Word (II): Word vs. online word processors

There is life, online, after Microsoft Word (II): Word vs. online word processors


Why use an online word processor? Does Microsoft Word is losing steam and wrinkle the dress against your opponents online? Responding to the first question is easy: "Just because"since the second: "No, but it has been the batteries, but are not on sale in kiosks better"(this is already clear below ... tun "knock, knock, knock, knock, knock ....)


But seriously. Do not you quite curious to try some of these online word processors? Sure, but if you've never dared, we will help you take the plunge, no big deal. Now, argue about whether Microsoft Word is being played the title favorite word processor, not the skin or not, because I do not think your question is timely. Okay, I admit that I'm the one that raised but the first thing that comes to mind talking about it. I think the online word processors play in another league, but it is true that they have come to stay and take a good part of "regular users cake" that Word still holds with suspicion in the pantry.


Still, online word processors have not come to replace Microsoft Word, at least for more complex editing work such as editing a book, creating a thesis and, ultimately, any job that requires advanced editing and / or high demands in terms of layout, automation by running macros, and others. On the other hand, offer an excellent alternative for those seeking a lightweight solution to create dynamic documents in a team, with collaborators all over the world, and in the spotlight of rigorous live, edit and comment on the changes instantly and real time, this is his greatest asset. Let us summarize what are the advantages and disadvantages of online word processors compared to Microsoft Word and, therefore, from any desktop word processor that boasts ...


Advantages


* Do not install anything, create an account and forget about everything, complex and tedious process of downloading and installation, where all you need is an account and a web browser, the one you like, is the widespread Internet Explorer (not I hear a single boo ... even a distant chirping of tension!), or his closest contender Firefox (foxes to power!), Safari, Camino, Konqueror, and many others. Count to ten, is preparing a latte and return, I have just done. Moreover, the absence of installation means that upgrades come with just refresh the web browser, without having to buy or download the new version, it also means that those same updates will come more quickly to our desktop.

* Do not bring up documents, wherever you go you're expecting. Yes, not having anything installed on your computer, it will not be necessary to save documents to your hard drive or a USB key. No, these are stored securely online and instantly, without having to raise the little finger and accessed from any PC or Mac, as long as it has a web browser installed and an Internet connection, of course.

* Windows, Mac or Linux, does not matter. Point follows this point: no matter what OS you use, you can always access and edit your documents without fear that apprehension of "is it compatible with my word processor, I heard that the DOC not seen on Mac?"No way, universal on all four sides, here there is only one format, which means any web browser ... then we will decide in what format to export.

* CTRL + G, CTRL + G, CTRL + G, that I caught the blackout ... the explosive death of the hard drive, the unexpected failure of system instability, or the finger trick of closing the document without wanting to ... Oops! Have I been? So many years lost the fear of anything blue screen will be served, we are still working without a net, ie without enabling the option to automatically copy the document open, every x minutes. This does not happen online, a snapshot backup is done with each change made.

* Unleash your creativity, the writing process is completely dynamic to create backups that will quickly become versions of a document. Do not cross a line, delete a whole paragraph, not lame fear and replaces one word for another ... you can always compare different versions of a document. Best of all is that this system is not incompatible with simultaneous editing of several collaborators.

* Leave singular issue, edit the plural. They say two heads are better than one, that the more the better. It is true, especially when it comes to brainstorming. On the other hand, most of the editing comes to the fore a feared and hated character: the reviewer in charge of editing, provide ideas and stop disturbing notes in the margins. They can also be one or more employees and members of a team. The fact is that online word processors divinely provided this interesting form of simultaneous editing, much like the whiteboard, either through comments or chat, either while editing a document, seeing your screen is updated with changes made by others ... awesome!


Disadvantages


* Limited benefits, ... and they say, have remained at the level of Word back in 2003! Despite many virtues pointed to their record, they are still basic word processing, with no or very few forays into of the advanced features, such as might be the use of a powerful macro language, sophisticated controls for creating tables or the wider use of styles and formats, drawing tools integration, flexibility in layout and design templates or absent, or present a somewhat watered down online version. But now the question is ... do you really need so many features?

* Return linked to the bandwidth, making our connection at the nerve center that controls our sense of slowness or, conversely, for speed in use, although this point loses strength due to the standardization of ADSL in half the world ... and Web 2.0 technologies, meaning that its functionality is based on technologies that, while not exactly new (HTML CSS, Ajax, JavaScript, Flash, etc.) themselves are in their infancy in terms of their deployment, prompting a new attitude to software , software as a service. We have not tamed this stage, so far only explored ... not that I have a lot of weight, is more a matter of perception of the environment.

* Is our privacy at risk? "Admittedly, we like to get paranoid when it comes to digital freedom, open the Pandora's box and the trolls flood the forums but ... really dangerous? On the Internet, everything is known and our private lives lost ground. Today, we create our digital identity through social networks such FaceBook, while dozens of other services, have in their records. The question is ... "server hosted leave confidential documents outside my company? Are we to trust the privacy practices that offer these services online? You yourself, but cases like the AOL and MySpace are being questioned.

* No customization or cut. This is a greater or lesser extent it does not affect all online word processors alike: some do not offer any possibility to define margins, headers and footers, custom design document (web, reading layout, Print, etc..), others lack keyboard shortcuts, frames, backgrounds, ... For now, they are no match for Word weight in the field of personalization of the documents but, as I said above, they are solved. Keep in mind that are still in the awkward age, but have dynamic updates, allowing them to rectify the shooting on the fly, as has recently made Google Docs to implement keyboard shortcuts.

* Is an online service, no software installed, resulting in a number of different constraints, for example, the maximum size allowed for online documents (up to 500 KB for Google Docs), the embedded image formats (up to 2 MB for Google Docs), available storage space (limited to 1 GB in the case of buzzword), the activation of cookies or JavaScript, or need to install technologies such as Flash, or simply the need to be connected to the Internet.


In short, it should top the box noting that in reality things are not as simple as they seem, let us not be intoxicated by the excitement the first time. The boundaries between advantages and disadvantages are also not well defined (which is essential for one can be a nuisance for another.) But yes, there are a few simple questions you should consider before making a decision:


* Should I use online alternatives to Word? depends on the situation: if you need to edit a document between collaborators scattered around the world, discuss and exchange ideas while you edit, the answer is "yes"if the same document requires the collaboration of one and access is limited to a single computer or if you need advanced features that do not offer these services online word processing, the answer is "no. "

* "The decisive factor is participatory? Yes, it's his strong point, of course. Word requires heavier machinery to collaborate on a document such as a SharePoint server, for example, that allows the creation of an online library, or use Messenger to talk and share ideas in groups, yes ... all the style Microsoft.

* I need something scalable, do you serve? For now, no. Mainly due to their limitations. If you start using Google Docs with the intention of carrying out the work of a thesis, it might be tiresome in the long run, lack of flexibility and other little things such as insert page breaks, change the orientation and size of the text, add diagrams , auto, etc. Not to mention something that today is totally absurd: edit online documents thousands of pages ...

* "User-friendly interface, complex, intuitive? Word offers a very complete interface yet complex, which may frighten the novice user, but with which veterans feel at ease. The Word learning curve is long and tedious, but once you have assimilated, knows better. In contrast, online text tools are more accessible, easy to use and dynamic, to a greater or lesser extent. Armas a document and ... to work!

Recording a trip with the basic version of Google Earth

Recording a trip with the basic version of Google Earth


Travel Reproduction in Google Earth better all the time. Every so often surprises us with new sites where fly. It really creates this feeling when we move freely in a Pyrenees three dimensionsOr we suspend in the air, a thousand feet between the walls of the Grand Canyon.


The only thing we could complain to the developers of Google Earth is that we can not record our trips virtual. Unfortunately, this possibility is only in the paid version.


But with a little ingenuity will get what we want without spending a dime. If the reserved recording tool for Google Earth Plus, we can replace it with an external, for example, oRipa Screen Record. Hands.


First we set the points of departure and destination using the placemark. If you do not want to appear the typical yellow pushpin, you can change color or become transparent.


During the trip, the destinations will be as they were at the time that we set. So if we get the camera rotation effect at the end of the voyage, to finish on the floor watching, for example, the mountains in three dimensions, we move the vertical axis of the compass.


Then we set the speed of travel. This step is very important. ORipa recorded some twenty-five frames per second so we will have to provide them. Google Earth will process more than this amount per second, otherwise, the final video will be choppy.


To prevent the slow journey by Internet connectivity issues is highly recommended to make the trip several times before recording it, so, Images are stored in the browser cache.


If we are on the safe side and ensure that the video comes out right the first time, choose flight speed slowest. Depending on the power of our computer will choose the proper video resolution (800 x 600, 640 x 480, etc.) Into the recorder. With a sampling frequency of 25 and removing the video compression will not have problems with oRipa.


Once you have made the trip to see how it will, it remains to burn. Will remove all the bars in Google Earth: tools, navigation, compass, status, etc.. We oRipa recording. We select the departure mark. Press F11 (Full Screen.) And finally, Control + Alt + P (play drive).


At the end, we have to make final touches on a video editor. First crop the file to only see the trip. Then it will accelerate to achieve the desired vivacity.


Sure, when you see the journey you will enjoy it more if you consult the license price Google Earth Pro.


Your PC turned into a fish tank


Today in the trunk of memories, rescued in 2003 a spectacular screen saver, the kind that jaw-dropping to visitors: SereneScreen Marine Aquarium


In fact, for its spectacular, it was quite easy to see in the PC displayed in computer stores. Serve as a given that this screensaver is the most downloaded history at Softonic, make him more than 230,000 downloads.


In addition to how nice it is, we can say that to relax and everything will be by the sound of bubbling, the blue of the sea or fish so realistic swimming quietly.


Here's a picture, but you have to see it in motion.


Comments


Once downloaded, displayed an English page, which for me is impossible to translate. It is desirable that this page or "skin", had Spanish versions. Mugutgre.


The SereneScreen is really good, but it is a pity that it is a demo. With this in mind, the best aquarium screensaver I know is the Crawler 3D Marine Aquarium, but it is always greener activate the off screen


these funds are very excellent spectacular


hi these funds are very cute I hope you continue drawing more, he really liked me are spectacular, congratulations


very good but there are problems I would like to install the download in Spanish. and explain a bit about the installation.


Hi, well this tank is the best I found on the web seems very real indeed, I recommend them for what they want a natural and have no time to attend to fish... great!


It is the best screen saver there. A beauty, you can select the fish you want to see, sound, light, day or night, etc.

A unique program that I use for many years without any problems.

Lenovo Laptop Review Thinkpad T61, VIA lenovo-batteries.com blog


If the specifications leaked a few days ago you had not been convinced of all, Lenovo has taken a step forward, giving full details of its T61 official.


The T61, supposedly the "tougher Thinkpad, cool and quiet of all time, riding a magnesium alloy casing and incorporates an improved cooling system as well as its Ultra Connect II wireless connectivity, and a lenovo thinkpad t61 battery with 15% over time thanks to the Battery Stretch control. Beyond that, you’ll find a WXGA +, a wide range of Core 2 Duo processors to choose, up to 160 GB hard drive running at 5400 RPM (or 100 GB at 7,200 rpm), NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M with 128MB memory, an optional Blu-ray drive, gigabit Ethernet jack, Bluetooth, WWAN connectivity via 802.11a/b/g/n to EV-DO or HSDPA if you wish. Not bad, eh? There is also an integrated camera, card reader and four in an XP or Vista, as you like, the choice being considered briefly if you wish to buy a launch, as it will go on sale this month at a price of 1,399 dollars (for the U.S., we have not seen the European prices.)


 


Verdict


More: Ergonomics and successful finish, removable DVD drive two seconds, quiet, about heat stroke, quality of reception Wi-Fi, integrated keyboard tray.


Less: Talk a little short for a laptop pro austere design faithful to the tradition Thinkpad, limited viewing angle, weight and size, screen offset to the right of the center of the PC


 


lenovo-thinkpad-t61


True to the tradition of the ThinkPad, the Lenovo T61 is a professional tool in its design, its finish, its staffing software or ergonomics. Strong and powerful, he fishes with a slight lack of versatility, especially on gaming applications and entertainment in multi-tasking. A fault quickly forgiven … is above all a Thinkpad!


Lenovo introduced two new ThinkPad notebooks with 14.1 inch wide-format screens - T61 and R61. In the R series wide-format model Appeared for the first time. In the series of large format R model appeared for the first time. Those notebooks are made on the basis of Intel Centrino Pro and Intel Centrino Duo Platforms, Improved They Are Equipped with cooling systems and support with wireless network connection to connect the ultra II. Those scraps are based on Intel Centrino for and Intel Centrino Duo platform, which are equipped with improved cooling systems and a wireless network connection with support of the ultra connect II. According To Lenovo, ThinkPad T61 and R61 are the most durable, cold and quiet ThinkPad models. According to Lenovo, ThinkPad T61 and R61 are the most durable, cold and quiet ThinkPad models.


According to the evaluation of the company, the use of technology in the top cover roll cage covered laptop (check the second picture) strengthening the protection of the screen of a 25% decrease compared to previous ThinkPad models damage. Ensure Supplemental protection is activated by the system protection Impacts Which absorbs energy. Supplemental protection is ensured by the active protection system which absorbs impact energy.


Notebooks are equipped with means for wireless connection: WWAN1 (in some version ThinkPad T61), WLAN 802.11n, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth and modem.


The new cooling system used inn the notebooks help reduce the temperature of 10c and noise level by three decibels compared to previous ThinkPad models.


From other special features of these new models we can observe the presence of dactyloscopic sensors, encryption of hard disks, devices for memory cards and web cameras (available on ThinkPad R61).


Lenovo introduced simultaneously with Lenovo 3000 N200 15.4-inch wide format display, WLAN 802.11n technology adapters, 10/100 Ethernet and Bluetooth. Depending on version, this notebook Can Have the Intel Integrated graphic system or discrete NVIDIA video card. Depending on the version, this notebook can have the Intel integrated graphics system or discrete NVIDIA video card.

The ThinkPad T61 is Lenovo’s perceived as deriving high end of R61. Discover this ultra-powerful notebook.


Echoing the same hull as the ThinkPad R61, the T61 features the same look antiquated. The widescreen 14.1-inch footprint results in a fairly large: 33.5 x 23.7 x 3.5 cm. However, our test model has a standard battery of four cells and therefore shows lighter than R61 as a poster on our balance weight of 2.37 pounds.


Plane


The machine loaned by Lenovo brings together some very upscale, mostly drawn from the organ bank of the new version of the Intel Centrino platform. In honor where honor, let the processor. This is a Core 2 Duo T7700 clocked at 2.4GHz, the fastest processors at FSB 800MHz. Lenovo combines 2 GB DDR2 RAM. Based on our tests, the computing power and multimedia capabilities of this laptop immediately classify the first place. Another excellent result, the bandwidth of the memory also reached record highs. These components are accompanied with a SATA hard drive with platters rotating at 5,400 rpm a total capacity of 160 GB of storage The unit, supplemented by a DVD Super Multi Double Layer, proved both quick and silent. A shock sensor protects your data from physical damage while a fingerprint reader takes care to deny access where appropriate. The screen of 14.1 inches reaches the comfortable resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. It has the power of a circuit NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M 128MB integrated graphics memory. This video chip provides support DirectX 10 and a minimum power consumption. The other configuration is standard with Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi and the last component Intel 802.11n and Gigabit Ethernet. The number of catches is correct with three USB and Firewire even if we still regret the presence of a single video output VGA.


In conclusion


A powerful processor and a battery of low capacity. Two factors leading to insufficient autonomy. Our T61 has confessed his limits after 72 minutes. Certainly not enough for a business user who buys surely a high-capacity lenovo batteries. That said, with a sale price probably more than 2,200 euros, this tool seems built for durability. Confident, Lenovo awarded him a guarantee of three years.

SAM II EV Ecar - Innovative Technology and Ecology

SAM II EV Ecar - Innovative Technology and Ecology


The SAM was one of the first electric car as he arrived in 1993 to the market. From this long experience in the manufacture of electric vehicles will benefit buyers of this small car, because it contains a proven technology. The vehicle is aware of a small two-seater with only three wheels designed as a low power consumption is an important requirement for electric vehicles. Only small and light vehicles can provide great coverage and speeds suitable for everyday use, without it being to large batteries required. The SAM II EV has a range of 90 kilometers, for commuters and for use in city traffic is usually sufficient. Its maximum speed is 90 mph and is also designed for city driving and short distances on highways.


His energy of the SAM II refers EV lithium-polymer batteries, highlighted by both the heating and cooling of the vehicle and the heating of the windshield. The brushless drive motor is equipped with a permanent magnet and provides a nominal output of 11.6 kW, while peak power is 19 kW. The innovative energy-recovery technology in braking mode can increase the range of the SAM II EV even by 8 to 12%. The vehicle offers three different driving modes, Eco, sports and snow mode to be prepared for every situation on the road.


The charging of the batteries is possible at any standard Schuko socket. For a full charge the batteries need five hours, but after an hour charge time, 40% of the electrical charge reached. Thus, the SAM II EV refuels during working hours or the shopping spree at a charging station in the parking lot all by itself again in full. The power consumption of the SAM II EV is 8 kilowatt-hours for 100 kilometers. With a vehicle weight including the battery pack of 500 kg allows the vehicle has a payload of 220 kilograms and provides plenty of capacity for two adult passengers.


Volkswagen calls for electric car subsidies


The carmaker Volkswagen combines its research and development in electrical engineering with Wolfsburg, but will be centrally responsible. It is to be in the words of VW spokesman Christian Buhlmann clarified especially as the batteries can be grouped into units, such as the holding period is long, what they need and cooling take place as the power demand is. In addition to Wolfsburg Palo Alto is the second largest site, where about 100 people are employed with the electrical mobility and the Google navigation.


The personnel there to check how far can integrate lithium-ion batteries in electric cars. The new CEO Martin Winterkorn has called the policy in Europe for the promotion of electric mobility. The planned promotion in the U.S. and China are the main reason for this demand. According to him, significant investments to introduce the electric car technology would be needed. In China for buyers of electric vehicles up to 4,600 euros in grants which the purchase is affordable. The automaker is the electric version of the VW Golf and the electric car VW Up! in 2013 to introduce to the market.


Tazzari plans electric Cabriolet


The Italian electric car manufacturer Tazzari plans for spring 2012, the launch of an electric convertible under the name Tazzari Zero Roadster. The range should amount to the manufacturer's instructions with one battery charge to 140 kilometers and are the maximum speed at 100 mph. Since early 2010, the electric car will be purchased as a closed variant in Germany. In Silence by Germany GmbH in Salzgitter in the dealership Strube, the Tazzari and other electric vehicles to be admired.


The city car is the same as in Salzgitter in the capital in the government district in a showroom, where it waits for its buyers. At the beginning of may orders for the Tazzari electric car was abandoned. The crude oil will be exhausted in 20 to 30 years and by then, the alternative energy sources have become established. The electric cars can only be successful if a nationwide charging stations network is established and the range increases and the prices are reduced.

Multi-junction solar cell

Multi-junction solar cell


7 to 9 and July last year, in Freiburg, Germany (Freiburg) the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Europe's largest research center Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft 80 research institutes, one short FhG-ISE), the European record of solar cells increased by the 37.6% to 39.7%, after several efforts, and finally multi-junction solar cells a new world record - more than the U.S. Department of Energy Renewable Energy Laboratory (Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory) 40.8% before.


Such a high efficiency multi-junction solar cell is mainly used to focus on photovoltaic systems (concentrating photovoltaic, referred to as CPV), direct conversion of sunlight as the sun, the source of power throughout the town. Will focus sunlight on a small (5mm) multi-junction solar cells, in solar energy equivalent to 454 can achieve 41.1% conversion efficiency, even in the higher energy 880 is still under solar irradiation measured 40.4%, the battery can be a wide use of sunlight intensity, and with more than 40% conversion efficiency.


Like the battery before the FhG-ISE, the new battery still use the deformation of the extension of the three junction structure and the lattice mismatch Ga0.35In0.65P/Ga0.83In0.17As / Ge (gallium indium phosphide and gallium indium arsenide deposited on Ge) layer structure. Compared with conventional solar cells, separation of the semiconductor material and there are no same lattice constant, we can only use the extension to combine the two layers of distortion, it is difficult to obtain high quality film, the other because of different between the two materials The lattice constant, combined prone to stress, resulting inserted row or other lattice defects.


By Frank, Dr. (Frank Dimroth) led group III-V Epitaxy and Solar Cells group, FhG-ISE to overcome the above difficulties and deficiencies limited to the electronic non-active zone, while the active area is relatively free of defects retained, which is to indispensable to achieve high conversion efficiency factor. "This is a good example and tell us how to use technological breakthroughs to control the crystallization of the semiconductor defects" Fraunhofer ISE's President Ike Weber (Eicke R. Weber), Dr. mentioned.


Multi-junction solar cell can be used in a variety of deformation of the extension group III-V compound semiconductors, the high efficiency of the battery structure formed by the appropriate materials can be divided into three bands of sunlight were to absorb. Researchers suggest that this is an important conclusion is that using a series of material connected to form the solar cell, its components will be the current minimum current that part to the limitations of the use of deformed extension of the battery Ga0.35In0.65P / Ga0.83In0.17As/Ge, can make the current matching, the complete output (multi-junction cell structure are produced close to three times the current of the battery), this is the battery can achieve high conversion efficiency of the important reasons.


Last year by the Fraunhofer ISE 37.6% conversion efficiency will be increased to 39.7% by adjusting the front-end structure of the metal thin wire has a lower contact resistance can pass large currents, therefore more suitable for concentrated solar constant of 300 ~ 600. Frank mentioned that the latest change in front of the metal thin battery is the graphics, and has a better quality film. In order for the technology and existing technology as a competitive, fast and feasible, Fraunhofer ISE in Germany Heilbronn (Heilbronn) of the Azur Space co-operation and technology transfer, also in Freiburg Concentrix Solar GmbH. "And the other focusing photovoltaic systems, our high efficiency solar cells is the most efficient way to reduce the cost of electricity" Fraunhofer ISE's Director, Dr Andrew Bate (Andreas Bett) mentioned. Fraunhofer ISE With the new battery to the goal of high conversion efficiency, a major step forward, and soon, the cost of photovoltaic power generation can compete with traditional power.


Dr Frank by changing the cell structure that will help make this type of battery has a long-term advantage, and to improve efficiency to 42 ~ 43%. Over the past 15 years, researchers at Fraunhofer ISE is committed to III-V family of multi-junction solar cell used in photovoltaic systems research focus from the beginning of the German Federal Ministry of Education (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, referred to as the BMBF) for support Now while the German Federal Environment, Nature Conservation cum Nuclear Security Administration, Intelligent Energy Bureau (German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, called BMU) to provide financial aid, scholarships for doctoral students, the future will be faster and better results to share with the world.

Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350 Camera Review, via digitalcamerabattery.us blog

Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A350 Camera Review, via digitalcamerabattery.us blog


sony-a350-a200


Sony plans to aggressively attack the market with a number of new DSLR SLR cameras is no secret. We had the opportunity to get their hands on the new Alfa 350 and Alfa 200’s again. Here are our first impressions of this very close family, including Sony’s interesting solution to the problem of prolonged exposure time cycle with Live View.


The Sony Alpha A350 offers new technology that makes images faster, easier and more familiar for users of digital SLR cameras for the first time. "According to the press release from Sony.


Note: Most of our findings are also applicable to the Sony Alpha DSLR-A300, also presented at the PMA and is essentially a version of 10-megapixel sensor of the Sony A350, with a lower price.


As for what Sony is promoting the main event of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 digital, including;



  • Very high resolution 14.2 effective megapixels for beautiful images of the Convention detail, rich tones and bright colors

  • Large LCD high-resolution 2.7-inch two-way leveling fire for freedom and comfort at different angles

  • Quick AF Live View autofocus quick and accurate and responsive AF performance even with fast moving objects

  • Improved in-camera Super SteadyShot to reduce vibration.


dslr-a350


The Sony A350 features a new 14.2 megapixel sensor. There is a multiplier of 1.5 x focal length lens is used to obtain the equivalent field of view (FOV) in 35mm terms. Sony Alpha A350 SLR sweet with DT 18-70mm aperture-priority, that large JPEG, the size of 18 mm, 1 / 50 sec at f/5.6, ISO 200, WB Fluorescent central point cut from the lens.


The Alpha DSLR-A350 features a 14.2 megapixel CCD sensor, Live View, a vertical swivel screen, and like all Alpha DSLR-integrated sports anti-shake sensor offset establishments participating in the work aimed to set. It’s just the house or as a kit with the lens Sony DT 18-70mm.


Interestingly, this is not the main sensor, Live View facilities includes, but integrates a secondary sensor in the viewfinder. Sony has broken the traditional Live View systems in the setting of additional sensor in the viewfinder with a tilt mechanism that directs the light is, either through traditional eye. The advantage is not related to the conventional AF in Live View-bypass, so that the autofocus-A350 as fast as you normally would, without interruption or noise.


Making life even more useful view is that a retractable screen can be tilted vertically to allow wide-angle high or low easily. The A350’s screen can not turn the page, or turn on the face, but still a very flexible function.


Like all Alpha DSLRs, the sensor is located on the main platform for moving a mounted adjustable to compensate for camera shake. You do not see the effect on the viewer - or in Live View - but it gets to work with everyone who is going. This not only saves money, it means that you are the stabilization of the lenses that most manufacturers are not suitable as a benefit stabilization system as a standard 50 mm models.

Price of solar cells or bottom out

Price of solar cells or bottom out


Solar cells from the 4th quarter, began to cut production, the recent play seems to gradually cut overall effect, prices began to have stabilized, customers are asked about signing an increase in the frequency of a phenomenon, but solar industry said, because the prices close to low water level, current price contract to worry about the price rebound in 2009, but in a wait and see attitude.


Solar subsidy policy by the Spanish exchange in September and the financial turmoil, the two sides thereof facing the solar industry, orders for instant shrink dilemma facing the 4th quarter of unprecedented proportion of high inventories and cut-off, many small solar cells Factory 11,12 revenue contribution is minimal, and substantially cut the other side of the wave of layoffs is not stopped.


Continuing pressure to enlarge the environment, coupled with the financial turmoil caused by the financing, the price of solar cells fell sharply rare show from the August peak of the highest per-watt shouted 3.5 to 3.8 U.S. dollars, to 12 months outcry spacing of continually expanding, 2.1 ~ $ 3 per watt, the water level has a turnover of examples, highlighting the market clutter.


But 2.1 to $ 2.2 per watt, low price of water, solar-cell factory for most purposes are bottom of the price, if the source material procurement costs are not competitive, then the price of losing money is more likely the water level, in consideration of the new polysilicon material sources out of the situation is still poor, the source material prices fall again space is limited, therefore the price hit bottom solar cells, recently has attracted many of the module factory initiative to ask, hoping to sign at this price in a single year in 2009 contract.


Motech that appears in late December, the battery tends to decline in value does have a smooth trend, but their prices Motech level remained at 2.4 to 3 dollars per watt, the current prices are still unable to accept the low water level, in particular, Many signed their long, in fact, the price level are quite good, the quality requirements of the client better than the price gap.


Yi Tong pointed out that late December price decline in the battery does have the phenomenon of stabilization, which should be attributed to solar-cell factory in Taiwan to quickly adjust production capacity caused by the recent initiative to ask the client to sign a short about 1 year did increase the frequency, but consider the price of a rebound in 2009, the opportunity is still waiting to see, do not intend to rush contract, resulting in loss of future unnecessary post.


Solar industry said the price bottomed out yet wait and see but the demand stabilized, so the industry will continue as both sides expected the order to determine the capacity of the hands of utilization rate, estimated the short term will help to increase the stability of prices.
