Electronic books by Claudia Sonea

Whoever said that reading books is old-fashioned was very wrong. In fact, living in the fast lane in a computer era, books could only be reinvented so that people can still enjoy reading. Thus Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle or Sony Inc.'s Reader merged the computer and books and gave electronic books which are easily to read, faster to get and cheaper. Many oppose resistance because they prefer being faithful to the old book type, feeling the touch of the paper enriched with letters in ink.
Let's take a look at a new product that offers fast access to books concerning cooking, home projects, gardening and child care. Now, MiBook is a book-sized white slab and the books available are in fact memory chips. The 7-inch color screen offers a conventional liquid-crystal display, yet this might be a disadvantage because it consumes more power and needs to be close to a power supply, unlike Kindle, the Amazon's reader. It has a fold-out stand, a small remote, a rechargeable battery, a slot that will accept SD cards (text, pictures, and videos- small size).
What lacks to MiBook is a better screen (preferably in color)so that reading become more appealing, an indicator to show how much battery it has, and why not Wi-Fi (like Kindle and Amazon). The good news is that it is very cheap; $120, but you could purchase it for $75 online. All the books you would be interest to acquire would cost $20, so it's affordable and even enjoyable. Just give it a try and tell us how it was.

Za poveketo žiteli na SAD momentalna sostojba vo ekonomijata e sé ušte zagadočna. I pokraj planot za spasuvanje, pazarot na nedvižnini e sé ušte stegnat, nevrabotenosta pretstavuva golem problem, cenata na benzinot e sé ušte visoka.Se čini deka situacijata ne se podobruva i sezonata na šoping samo što ne započnala - glavno ovoj petok ke bide otvoranjeto, vednaš po denot na blagodarnosta.

I pokraj toa što pretstavnicite na kompanijata odbija da zboruvaat za ovoj nastan vo petokot, poradi odnesuvanjeto vo prethodnite godini (namaluvanje na cenite od 5% do 10%), analitičarite očekuvaa namaluvanja do 15%. Mnogu iPod, iPhone i Mac idei za podaroci ke bidat možni na nivnata glavna internet strana. Ova treba da gi vrati nazad vo igra, zatoa što Apple gi ima najskapite produkti i mnogu rivali.

Božik doaga i ke mora da kupime podaroci za sakanite. Može duri i da bidete srekni da dobiete dobra zdelka od Apple. Sé e možno.

News from Nokia by Claudia Sonea

Are you dependent of your cell phone? Don’t worry; there are only a few millions of people who deal the same addiction. Life in the fast lane implies a lot of things among which the necessity to be in touch at all time comes on top of the list. Now, because there are so many brands of cell phones and so many carriers, it has become a serious matter to purchase one and for them a total rush to get as many customers as they can.
The latest trend in the mobile phones’ industry is the touch screen feature that drove everyone crazy. Apple was the fist one launching on the market the incredible iPhone on June 2007 and a year later the iPhone 3G which made it obvious that the other smartphones producers must join in the trend or lose market. RIM already launched the BlackBerry Storm that has touch screen feature, but technically it is not a match for the iPhone. Sony Ericsson's X1 and HTC's Touch Pro in spite of the touch screen can hardly be called rivals for Apple that is, but for Nokia they are perfectly valid. The world's top mobile phone maker continues to lead the global market for smartphones- handsets; however Apple and RIM are getting closer and closer.
As it is, the new Nokia N97 handset was anticipated by all analysts, thus after the hits N95 and N96, Nokia wants to launch next year this new phone with large touch screen, a full-qwerty keyboards and a price similar to the older models ($693). The Vice President of Nokia's Devices unit was very excited about the new product and announced also the acquisition of mobile software maker Symbian on Tuesday. It is to early to say anything about the product we just have to wait to give it a try.

El martes Nacional Geographic anunció un nuevo videojuego. National Geographic Ventures (NGV) desarrollarán juegos para la mayoría de las consolas de juego - computadoras, consolas y dispositivos portátiles. NGV dicen que quieren cooperar con principales editores y promotores.

El objetivo de crear nuevos juegos es extender la misión de Nacional Geographic, que quiere inspirar a la gente para preocuparse por el planeta. Nacional Geographic cree que el juego afectará la generación de los jóvenes.

National Geographic anunció sociedad con Namco Bandai Games America y Sony Computer Entertainment para publicar y distribuir juegos bajo su marca para consolas como Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 y el iPhone.

El primer título se llama “La Tumba Perdida de Herodes”que se refiere al bíblico Rey Herodes, el arquitecto del mundo antiguo. El juego está disponible gratis en Internet.

Nacional Geographic también anunicó otros juegos, por ejemplo "Panda" y "África". El próximo año planifican liberar juegos: “Rain Forests”, "Greencity".

Los juegos pertenecen al género de juegos de ocultar-objeto, que es bastante popular hoy en día y es muy apropiado para el mensaje de National Geographic.

Un equipo de expertos trabajará duro para hacer los juegos de Nacional Geographic competitivos en el mercado. Paul Levine, un ejecutivo de National Geographic, encabezará la nueva división y Chris Mate, el antiguo ejecutivo de Take2 Interactive y Bethesda Softworks, usará todas sus experiencias y trabajará como un presidente y el gerente de NGV.
