To make drive selection simple, we’ve gathered all our popular 5400 RPM WD Scorpio drives under one umbrella we call WD Scorpio Blue. Built to Western Digital’s awarding winning quality standards, these drives are available in a full range of performance features.

 

Key Features

Massive capacity – Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, 320 GB WD Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch drives offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista™, plus plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.

Quiet – In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive™ combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption. So now silence (and longer battery life) is golden.

Reliable and Rugged – WDs ShockGuard™ technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WDs SecurePark ™ parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non-operational shock tolerance.

Fast and Efficient – With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time and up to 3 Gb/s SATA interface speed, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD Scorpio Blue drives.

Tested for Compatibility – We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab™ and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

Ideal For

Portable digital devices of all kinds, including notebook computers, external storage, and digital media players.

    Today, Nokia revealed the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, an accessible 3G smartphone augmented by a dedicated audio chip for enhanced music performance. The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic features an iconic twist design that easily switches between four modes at the flick of the wrist – music player, 2 Megapixel camera, video call and smartphone. Combining the benefits of a music-oriented, multipurpose device featuring 3G dataspeeds, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is expected to retail for an estimated EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies during the second quarter of 2007.


    “The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic adds a new twist to the mobile music experience with compatibility for tracks purchased from many Internet music stores,” says Heikki Norta, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. “In addition the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic features a dedicated audio chip for improved music performance which consumers can further enhance by selecting from an ever increasing line of compatible audio enhancements.”


    Using an optional 2GB MicroSD card, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic supports up to 1500 tracks that can be enjoyed using Bluetooth stereo headphones, with their own favorite 3.5mm plug-equipped headphones and the included headset adaptor or through built-in stereo loudspeakers. Loading songs onto the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is fast and easy as consumers can choose from a broad range of supported digital formats, including WMA, MP3, AAC, as well as eAAC+ and MP4. When purchasing music online, shoppers again have the luxury of choice as they can select from a range of Internet music stores, also those utilizing Windows Media Player Digital Rights management (WMDRM). The optimized music player in the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic supports album art, playlists, plus a 5-band equalizer and audio visualizations.


    The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is based on the worlds leading S60 software running on Symbian OS.


    Since when are reflections included in press shots? I hope this doesnt become a trend. Anyway, here she is:


     


    Certainly thinner then I was expecting.


    Now For the 507

     

    Designed with the needs of young consumers in mind, the newly announced Nokia 5070 features a compelling blend of fun and function for todays socially networked mobile customer. With strong messaging, leisure and personalization features, the Nokia 5070 has everything that the mobile social set needs. The Nokia 5070 will be available in the second quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of EUR 100 excluding taxes and subsidies.

    As unique as the Nokia 5070 is, owners are sure to want to make theirs just as individual as themselves. MP3 ringtones are at hand to ensure that each time it rings, the Nokia 5070 can reflect its owners style, mood or music taste. Additionally, a variety of wallpapers and themes can also be downloaded to give the Nokia 5070 even more of a personalized touch.


    The Nokia 5070 has talk time up to 3.5 hours and the standby time is up to 12 days and is available in two fresh colors, red or blue.


    Reminds me of the Nokia 6300. What do you think?


    01_5070_lowres


    Full specifications for both these devices can be found on Forum Nokia. The 5700 runs S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 and is based on a 369 MHz Freescale solution (same chip in the 6290). I cant find anything about the chip inside the 5070.

    Is the 5700 the cheapest S60 device to ever be released? Is this all thanks to Freescales lower prices?

    Just wondering what really good tools for fixing a bad hard disk. when im installing mepis it stops shortly into the formating. i had this problem with another distro so im assuming my HD is bad, any ideas on how to fix this whithout buying a new HD? 
    Try partioning and formatting with qtparted and see if you get any errors. Go to K Menu > System > File System > Qtparted. 

    Do you have any other OS on this drive or is it empty. Is there enough space if not empty for the install? 
    If you think you have a bad hard drive why do you want to install anything on it?  
    Here is a link for the Ultimate boot cd that has a lot of tools. There isnt any charge for it. There is a windows and linux version.

    <P>There are times when I want to hide one or more of my Windows drives because of security reasons (children getting up on the system and messing up everything or if the computer is in use by multiple people). For theses reasons, I would just prefer to hide my data in a safe place .. and if one of my drives is full of sensitive information, I would rather hide the drive from My Computer.</P>
    <P>There are two ways of doing it, one from the group policy editor and the second from registry editor. I will explain both of them here:<SPAN id=more-86></SPAN></P>
    <P><U><STRONG>1-Hiding drives using Group Policy Editor</STRONG></U></P>
    <P>Go to <STRONG>Start –&gt; Run –&gt; gpedit.msc</STRONG><BR>The group policy editor will open. Go to the following node:<BR><STRONG>User Configuration –&gt; Administrative Templates –&gt; Windows Components –&gt; Windows Explorer</STRONG><BR>Now go to the right hand window and double click the value “Hide these specified drives in My Computer”, select enable and select the drives from the drop down menu.</P>
    <P>This is restrictive in the sense that it only specifies drives up to D drive. Or all the drives can be hidden.</P>
    <P><U><STRONG>2-Hiding the drives using Registry Editor</STRONG></U></P>
    <P>To open the registry editor<BR>Go to <STRONG>Start –&gt; Run –&gt; regedit</STRONG></P>
    <P>Go to <STRONG>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE<BR>MicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciesExplorer</STRONG></P>
    <P>In the right hand pane, <STRONG>right click –&gt; new –&gt; DWORD Value<BR>Rename it to “NoDrives”</STRONG> (without quotes)</P>
    <P>To calculate the value, add together the numbers for the drives you want to hide, using the formula: A=1, B=2, C=4, D=8, E=16, F=32, G=64, H=128, I=256 and so on. Put the result in the NoDrives key value. Remember to select decimal instead of HEX from the NoDrives key. For Example if I want to hide C and F drives, C+F = 4+32 = 36. Put the value 36 in NoDrives key.</P>
    <P>Alternatively, you can use <A href=”http://www.wisdombay.com/hidedrive/” target=_blank modo=”false”><FONT color=#448abd>this online tool</FONT></A> for calculating the drive values. It’s a lot easier than calculating by hand.</P>
    <P><STRONG>Note:</STRONG> Always use the registry editor with caution because, if used inappropriately, it can mess up the whole system. I recommend creating a restore point before getting your hands on the registry editor.</P>
    <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
    <DIV>
    <H2><FONT color=#cc0033 size=4>How to hide Drives using the NoDrives Registry key in Windows</FONT></H2>
    <P>Hiding the individual physical,removable or optical drives in My computer is possible in Windows XP using the “NoDrives” registry entry. This entry hides the specified drives from My Computer, Windows Explorer, and in the Send To menu. The steps to perform this operation is given below. <BR><BR><B>Step 1.</B> Open Registry Editor (<SMALL><B><FONT size=2>An improper edit inside the registry editor can cause your system to behave strangely or even can entirely ruin your windows installation.

Enter that value as the Decimal value for the “NoDrives” DWORD key that you created in Step 3. <BR><BR><B>Step 4.</B>Reboot your Pc. Hocus-Pocus !!!, thats it, now the desired drives will be hidden in Windows Explorer, My Computer and in the Send To menu.</P>

The most powerful laptops in the Gemstone design at the time of writing were the Acer Aspire 5920 and the Acer Aspire 7700 series. The Acer Aspire 5920 and 7700 differ in the type of graphics cards used in each and the size of screen. The Acer Aspire 5920 uses an nvidia GPU and has a 15″ widescreen whilst the Acer Aspire 7700 uses an ATI graphics card with a larger screen size at 17″.

    If you have read the HowStuffWorks article on Boolean logic, then you know that digital devices depend on Boolean gates. You also know from that article that one way to implement gates involves relays. However, no modern computer uses relays — it uses “chips.”


    What if you want to experiment with Boolean gates and chips? What if you would like to build your own digital devices? It turns out that it is not that difficult. In this article, you will see how you can experiment with all of the gates discussed in the Boolean logic article. We will talk about where you can get parts, how you can wire them together, and how you can see what they are doing. In the process, you will open the door to a whole new universe of technology.

    Microcontrollers are hidden inside a surprising number of products these days. If your microwave oven has an LED or LCD screen and a keypad, it contains a microcontroller. All modern automobiles contain at least one microcontroller, and can have as many as six or seven: The engine is controlled by a microcontroller, as are the anti-lock brakes, the cruise control and so on. Any device that has a remote control almost certainly contains a microcontroller: TVs, VCRs and high-end stereo systems all fall into this category. Nice SLR and digital cameras, cell phones, camcorders, answering machines, laser printers, telephones (the ones with caller ID, 20-number memory, etc.), pagers, and feature-laden refrigerators, dishwashers, washers and dryers (the ones with displays and keypads)… You get the idea. Basically, any product or device that interacts with its user has a microcontroller buried inside.

    In this article, we will look at microcontrollers so that you can understand what they are and how they work. Then we will go one step further and discuss how you can start working with microcontrollers yourself — we will create a digital clock with a microcontroller! We will also build a digital thermometer. In the process, you will learn an awful lot about how microcontrollers are used in commercial products.

    Dell overhauls support services

    Dell is revamping its support-services offering as the company continues to battle shrinking growth in PC and server sales.

    The overhaul will see the introduction of two services, Dell ProSupport for IT and ProSupport for End-Users, aimed at improving local support for enterprise customers by improving turnaround times and offering the ability to fast-track requests.


    With ProSupport for IT, for example, IT personnel at customer sites will be able to directly access the relevant support staff rather than pick their way through Dells support escalation process. Non-IT end users, meanwhile, will be able to access application and configuration assistance for their machines.


    Dell would not clarify the number of people it has employed for the revamped service. Brian Goff, Dell Australias enterprise technical manager, said only that there are “more staff than last year,” citing the companys upcoming profit report on February 28 as a reason for holding back the details. The company is currently recruiting technical staff to fill vacant roles.


    For customers already on Dells Gold Technical Support package, the extra benefits under ProSupport will be offered at no extra charge, according to Goff.Dell Latitude XFR D630


    The new service offering comes at a time when Dell is fighting to retain its market share of PC and server sales worldwide. Some analysts have suggested the new support offering may help Dell combat falling sales in what is becoming an increasingly commoditized market.


    “Services is a big part of IT. Hardware is increasingly underappreciated, so it comes down to other factors like price or services,” Intelligent Businsess Research Services analyst Kevin McIsaac told ZDNet Australia.

    The company is also attempting to redefine itself in other ways. Dell recently acquired hosted e-mail archiving and security company MessageOne for $155 million. But perhaps its most significant move was the $1.4 billion acquisition of EqualLogic, a player in the nascent iSCSI storage market, repositioning the PC maker as an owner of storage IP for the first time, rather than simply a reseller.

    WinRAR is a 32-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, an archiver and archive manager. RAR files can usually compress content by 8 percent to 15 percent more than ZIP files can. WinRARs main features include strong general and multimedia compression, the ability to process non-RAR archive formats, ZIP compression and decompression, support for long filenames, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), repair of damaged archives, authenticity verification, embedded file comments, and encryption. Unicode is supported in archive filenames, allowing non-English filenames to be handled painlessly. You can manipulate the parameters of many archives at once and view a volume sequence as a single archive. WinRAR can convert other archive formats to RAR and search for specified text and files in archives. 

    Version 3.71 corrects several bugs and improves processing of corrupt RAR archives.
    WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.
    Archive file formats supported are ZIP, RAR, ACE, CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, BZ2, UUE, JAR, ISO, 7Z and Z.

    WinRAR
    RAR (WinRAR Download Free), the powerful archiver and archive manager (Win32, Linux, Mac)

    WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives.http://www.us-experts.com winrar

    WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well.

    WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).

    WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognizes
    and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.

    WinRAR allows you to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save them on several disks for example.http://www.e-msjed.com winrar

    WinRAR is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web. Its 128 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for.

    WinRAR is shareware, meaning you have the chance to thoroughly test it. The program can be used absolutely free of charge for 40 days!

    WinRAR licenses are valid for all available language and platform versions. If you have purchased several licenses, you can even mix versions to meet your own personal needs.

    Limitations:

    · WinRAR is shareware. Anyone may use it during a test period of 40 days. Following this test period or less, if you wish to continue to use WinRAR, you must register.

    Whats New in This Release:

    · 1. Bugs corrected:
    · a) WinRAR shell did not allow to create recovery volumes for locked RAR volumes. Now the recovery volumes option is accessible for both locked and not locked RAR volumes;
    · b) WinRAR displayed incorrect sizes for files inside of UDF ISO archives if file size exceeded 4 GB. Such files were unpacked correctly, but their sizes in file list window were displayed wrong

    Antivirus is a comprehensive, easy to use antivirus program, designed to offer reliable free of charge virus protection to home-users only. Avira offers: Extensive Malware Recognition of viruses, Trojans, backdoor programs, worms, etc. Automatic incremental updates of antivirus signatures, engine and entire software. Permanent virus protection, with Virus Guard real time monitoring. Install and configuration in just a couple of steps. Virus protection against known and unknown threats, using an advanced heuristic system. Scheduler where you can set the scanner to make automatic virus scans or updates on your system. Forum and phone support, Knowledge Base with virus descriptions available on web site. Vista Support. Rootkit Detection and Removal. Version 8 adds an enhanced interface, a modularized AV-search engine for improved scan performance, an integrated failsafe security system, and SMTP support for AntiVir MailGuard.


    For a free antimalware and antivirus app that also runs in your systems background, AntiVir works surprisingly well. Its scans are flexible, allowing the user to fully scan all hard drives, choose a preloaded scan–for rootkits, for example–or customize a scan. Combining the antimalware with the antivirus is a luxury in a free scanner. After testing on several machines no viruses turned up, although several malicious hidden files did rear their heads. The heuristic scan can be turned on or off completely or partially, with three different intensity levels.


    The quarantine is extensively thorough, too. The spreadsheet layout displays all relevant information about the quarantined file, and gives you options to scan it again, restore, delete, and more. The scheduler is fully customizable. Definition files are available at Aviras Web site if needed, and the help features are excellent, as well, with a description box relaying mouse-over information on each feature. Version 8.0 has introduced a faster engine and a faster definition file update, both of which are instantly noticeable improvements and yet still a bit slow.


    Initial concerns about the real-time Guard protection hamstringing system performance proved groundless. Although we could shut off AntiVir and its Guard, there was no way to remove the icon from the system tray or stop the occasional ad placement by Avira. The Complete Scan is no longer numbingly slow, but it will pauses midscan to let you know when its found a threat. Thats good for killing nasties, but it also means that the scans needs baby-sitting.

    Despite these hang-ups and the nag screen that follows updates, we found AntiVir to offer such effective protection with such a well-rounded set of features that as long as the definitions file updates keep coming, this app is our first line of defense.
