Linksys WRT54GL
2008-04-19 15:51:00
The Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect both screaming fast Wireless-G (802.11g at 54Mbps) and Wireless-B (802.11b at 11Mbps) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Connect four PCs directly, or attach more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. Once your computers are connected to the Router and the Internet, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And your computers can share all kinds of files -- music, digital pictures, and documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all...

Asustek's Desktop Version of the Eee PC
2008-04-13 20:43:00
It seems like the ultra-low cost desktop PC made an appearance in the open space. Officially called the "Digital HomeSystem EP20".Initially spotted during the CeBIT, the desktop PC is extremely svelte and seems the best choice for populating extremely crowded offices or laboratories where minimal computing power is required. There are no extra details regarding the hardware configuration of the Digital Home System EP20 desktop PC, but it is expected to come with less-than-average components, just like its mobile sibling.We have previously reported that Asustek's desktop PC was initially spotted during the CeBIT expo in Hanover this year. Underneath the PC's commercial name, its manufacturer added the well-known "Easy to Play ; Easy to Learn ; Easy to Work" phrase, which hints the users at the fact that the EP 20 model will be in fact the desktop counterpart of the so-popular Eee PC.The company claims that the new desktop product will come in a smaller form factor than most of the ...

Trapster turns your cell phone into a police detector
2008-03-28 15:07:00
Skyhook Wireless' geopositioning can be useful, but rarely does it save you from a $400 speeding ticket. A start-up named Trapster is trying to change that.The company has taken a creative spin on using geopositioning to help lead-footed drivers avoid known and newly discovered speed traps and other police dragnets. By installing the application on your mobile phone you'll get heads up on speed cameras, red-light cameras, hiding places, and live police while out and about. The application uses Skyhook Wireless' Wi-Fi and cell tower location positioning system to keep tabs on where you are while you're driving around. It also blends in GPS to give you more precise positioning on city streets. The data comes from other tipsters on the Trapster network, and is updated frequently. Creator Pete Tenereillo tells me there only need to be about 10 active users in each city to provide a reasonable amount of coverage for live police and new traps on major thoroughfares, a number which has...

Understanding and making the most of GIFs and JPEGs

This Photoshop lesson was created using Adobe Photoshop CS2, but the same results can be achieved in just about any version of Photoshop.When Tim Berners-Lee invented HTML (hypertext mark-up language) and through it the WWW his emphasis was very much on text. What he was looking for was a way of delivering structured scientific information quickly and efficiently with its style of presentation of secondary importance. Ironically what made the Web take off was the development of the Mosaic browser with its support for inline bitmapped graphics. The advent of the humble tag turned browsing into a visual experience and the Web has never looked back. With the explosive development of the Web, the creation of web graphics has itself become a huge growth area and one that could even outstrip graphics for print. Incredibly, in spite of this, there has always been a tendency to dismiss the field as just a sideline of traditional bitmap creation. That attitude is finally changing and ...

They named it Adobe, after a creek that ran behind Warnock?s home. Their first focus was to create PostScript, a programming language used in desktop publishing.When Adobe was young, Warnock and Geschke did everything they could to save money. They asked family and friends to help out: Geschke?s 80-year-old father stained lumber for shelving, and Warnock?s wife Marva designed Adobe?s first logo.OnlineHardware.blogspot.com

How to Extend Your Wireless Network's Range
2008-03-17 07:21:00
Wi-Fi networking range is like money, candy, and free time. You can never have too much of it. Getting more range out of your wireless networking gear can be a challenge, but it isn't impossible. Here are some pointers on how to extended your Wi-Fi range, hopefully letting you cover your entire house or office. * Upgrade to 802.11n - OK, it's not a free solution, but it's the best one there is. The new 802.11n gear (even though it has yet to be finalized by the standards body in charge of it) has dramatically better range, speed, and stability than 802.11b or g: After simply upgrading your router to an 802.11n model, you will likely find that your signal is stronger and more reliable in every room, plus you'll experience faster throughput all around (especially if your laptop has 802.11n technology in it). I've also found that 802.11n routers crash less frequently, another big bonus. A new 802.11n router will set you back from $60 to $180. * Try a Range Extender or Repeat...
