ViTiny Fun 50 Portable Digital Microscope No idea on why you would want to carry around a portable microscope, but should the need ever arise, do remember the name ViTiny, as the company has the solution to this hypothetic need, namely the Fun 50 portable digital microscope. ViTiny is a digital microscope that scientific geeks might love. It is a tiny digital microscope that fits in the palm of your hand and can be brought anywhere since it can also fit in your pocket.ViTiny has a lot of features that make it more user-friendly than the traditional microscopes. The traditional microscope is very expensive, difficult to use and most importantly, not portable. Not one of these attributes describes the ViTiny microscope. ViTiny being digital, has the ability to capture the images you are inspecting. Using Fun 50’s 5-90x zoom, you can take a picture of the object you are viewing. Another good thing about this is that you no longer have to put the object you wish to view on a slide beneath the lens of the microscope, all you have to do is put the ViTiny Fun 50 over the object. To be able to study the object more, the images you have in the digital microscope can be transferred to your computer via USB cable.ViTiny comes in three magnification options, which have a 5x optical magnification and 20x digital magnification; 12x optical magnification and 48x digital magnification; 24x optical magnification and 90x digital magnification.The device features a 262K TFT display and functions such as snapshoot, photo storage, real time function, and it can save the images directly into the PC. With a 320x240 photo resolution, the ViTiny Fun 50 allows the storage of 60 photos

Spy-Cye, The Personal Surveillance Robot
A direct effect of the latest evolutions in technology and communications is the very rapid development of various hi-tech surveillance methods, one of the latest and most advanced brand of devices that can be used for this purpose being surveillance-enabled personal robots. And that's exactly the family of devices where the following little guy (Spy-Cye from Probotics) belongs, since it's an extremely simple device which acts exactly like a mobile surveillance camera.The first thing worth mentioning about this robot is the fact that we're not dealing with a simple machine capable of obeying orders. Its software is actually capable of “learning” the position of various objects within the owner's residence, and avoid them whenever it operates on its own, without any direct control.However, as mentioned before, the main function Spy-Cye has to carry out is surveillance, and that's why it has been fitted with a video camera broadcasting a continuous video stream towards the user's computer, via radio waves. In his turn, the user can employ the same method in order to control the robot, via a highly intuitive graphics user interface dubbed Map-N-Zap.As mentioned earlier, the Spy-Cye needs to be “trained” before you can actually take advantage of its features. Thus, you first teach it the location of its home base. Then, it learns what's out there by mapping free space to white and obstacles to black on the screen. You can map out space to the extent of the radio range which is 100 feet.

Radeon HD 4890 review

Product:	Radeon HD 4890
Manufacturer:	HIS technology
SKU code:	H489QT
Information:	HIS website
Street price:	$259 ~ 239 EUR

Very few technology related products that are unleashed into the retail channel make a huge impression. Every now and then there are some exceptions though. For example when ATI released the RV770 based Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 graphics cards last year... they unleashed hell and fury when it came to price and performance, well for the competition at least. People were writing experiences about their 4850 or 4870 and added little 'heart' avatars into their personal reviews on the web. It was one of the best product launches ever for ATI.

To this very day RV770 (the ASIC / GPU name for Radeon HD 4870) is still marching on, ranking high in graphics card sales.

Ever since January, rumors started to surface on a new product called RV790. Typically it takes 4 to 6 weeks before a rumor is confirmed and halfway through February, just before the CeBIT exhibition, the first final specifications started to enter my mailbox. RV790 was confirmed, and today ATI is launching it.

RV790 will be called Radeon HD 4890. It is not a 40nm product as many of you had heard and hoped. It is however an incremental update of the Radeon HD 4870. Features wise it's 100% the same product, yet made more power efficient in idle, performs faster and is being repositioned as an enthusiast product... a very tweakable and overclockable piece of machinery actually.

With a significant increase in GPU clock frequency and a good bump in it's memory frequency, the Radeon HD 4890 will start selling this week. The product really is aimed directly against NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 260 SP216, and yes... will definitely be faster. But of course NVIDIA will have something up their sleeves as well. The two chipzillas always are playing a cat and mouse game... and in the end there's only one real winner, you the consumer.

In this review we'll cover the Radeon HD 4890 armed with a weaponry of 1024MB memory, we'll take it through all our test paces and software, offer you a nice photo-shoot, but obviously first let's chat about that GPU for a minute.

Athlon II X2 250 and Phenom II X2 550 BE review

2009-06-03T09:44:00.000-07:00

AMD unleashes its all new dual-core processors

Funny how it's always the same. You start to pack your bags to travel around the world to an exhibition, in this case Computex, and merely days before you have to leave you get an email from both AMD and Intel with a request. 'Ehm Hilbert mate, can you have these new processors reviewed on launch date during Computex'.

Oh well, combine stress, writers block and lots of coffee, and you reach a scenario we are all too familiar with. So sure, ship them processors out and let's have a look. So hello everybody and welcome to a new processor series review. Today we'll be looking at a processor series that I am really glad to see released. AMD is announcing two new dual-core processors today, one based on the Phenom II architecture... the other branded under the Athlon II series.

Now if you have read our Phenom 7850BE review a couple of weeks ago, I addressed this even in the conclusion, Phenom II architecture would make for a great dual-core processor series. It's fast, flexible, overclockable and very affordable. It would instantly bring say 25% more performance to AMDs dual-core processors.

As such AMD really needed to launch these puppies as, let's just face it, Intel can use some decent competition in that segment. There's a very simple and golden rule my friends, when you have competition in the processor arena, you get better prices and a far more competitive technology platform.

So as you can already tell, I'm just really happy with the release today. So let me reveal the names, AMD launches their AM3 socket 45nm process based Athlon II X2 250 and Phenom II X2 550 BE.

Athlon II X2 250 at 3.0 GHz for 87 USD

Phenom II X2 550 BE at 3.1 GHz for 102 USD
