Motorola to close Singapore handset plant

2008-Apr-3

Apr 02, 2008 By Robert Clark telecomasia.net

Motorola is to close its Singapore handset production plant by the end of the year, cutting 700 jobs. A company spokesperson said the closure was part of a global program to reduce annual costs by $500 million. Motorola would maintain its Asia-Pacific headquarters and its handset R&D facility in Singapore, the official said. The US phone-maker will begin scaling down its production in the second quarter and will shutter its production and distribution centers by the end of 2008. Production will be transferred to other regional plants in Tianjin, China, and elsewhere. The struggling handset maker lost its position as second largest phone-maker last year to Samsung, thanks to a lack of fresh popular handsets. CEO Greg Brown has warned the recovery will take longer than expected, and has just announced plans to split the networks and handset divisions into separate companies. Despite the cutbacks, Asia was still a critical part of Motorola’s rebuilding program, the official said. “The importance of the market hasn’t changed. Asia is still a big chunk of Motorola’s business.”

Virtual DJ Studio v5.3

2008-Apr-3

Virtual DJ Studio is not like all of the other DJ programs out there. While other programs limit you to two players with a Cross-Fader, Virtual DJ Studio provides you with an entire studio. Virtual DJ Studio gives you a mixer-board interface. Each line offers things you would expect from a typical mixer -- volume fader, mute, crossfader assignment, etc. Additionally, each line contains an MP3/WAV/Karaoke player, with all of the controls you might expect -- including a Pitch/Tempo control. If you have two or more sound cards/audio devices, you can route any line to your secondary device, for headphone preview or beat-matching. Alternatively, you might use this feature to simply allow more control with your external mixer. Supported Karaoke Formats You can either play an MP3 that has a corresponding .CDG file, or you can play directly from a ZIP file. VDJ does this directly, with no need to create temporary files (like most other programs do). VDJ is the only Karaoke system that lets you seek while directly playing a ZIP or MP3 file, without ever losing sync! ZIP files are handled the same as any other file format, with no slowness or adverse behavior, since VDJ uncompresses ZIP files internally, on an as-needed basis. VDJ now supports ZIP files that are renamed to KZ files. By renaming your ZIP files to have a KZ extension, you no longer have to worry about Windows slowing down when you enter your Karaoke directory (Windows XP tends to analyze any ZIP file it encounters, which can be very slow in a directory containing thousands of ZIP files). Singers List Even though VDJ looks different from other Karaoke programs, it still contains a Singer's List feature. When enabled, you can queue up any number of songs, along with the name of the person who wishes to sing it. From there, you can drag a song into a line in VDJ, or simply double-click to launch the file in the first line. VDJ will also display a list of singers/songs in the CDG window when no karaoke file is being played (for example, if your CDG window is connected to a second monitor, television, or multiple TVs, your patrons will know who's up next, and when their song will be up). Easy to Use Don't be intimidated by the number of buttons you see in the picture. If you have a knack for audio equipment, you will quickly pick up on VDJs use. VDJ comes with a complete Help file, including a Getting Started guide that will have you mixing MP3s in no time Headphone Support VDJ allows you to use an extra sound card for CUEing, or Previewing, a sound file. You can use this feature to assist with beat-mixing (fading two songs together on-beat), or for simply previewing a song before playing it live. Many DJs use their laptop's built-in sound for previewing (since the quality of the internal sound chip is often lacking), and an external USB audio device for their main mix. This configuration allows you the flexibility you are used to with dual CD decks and an external mixer; just like a real mixer, enabling the CUE button routes that line to the headphone output (eg, to your Secondary Sound Card). Plugin Support VDJ now offers Plugin support. Third parties can contribute audio processing plugins that can be used within VDJ's Plugin Manager. VDJ comes with a few Plugins as well, including a Compressor/Limiter, a Low-Pass Filter, and Stereo Expansion.

Thinkpad X300

2008-Mar-25

Lenovo's buttoned-up Thinkpad X300 ultraportable notebook computer may not have the MacBook Air's superslim Spartan style, but after firing up the X300, it's hard to not love this laptop. From rock-solid construction to piled-in perks, this biz-centric beast provides just about everything that matters to the modern road warrior.

The Air and X300 do have some similarities. They both have crisp 13.3-inch displays (although the X300 has a higher resolution--1440-by-900 pixels vs. 1280-by-800), and both offer 64GB solid state drives (An SSD comes standard with Lenovo's machine, but tacks about $1,000 onto the Air's price tag; if you equip them similarly, the notebooks cost about the same).

Whether you're afraid of dropping your laptop at the airport or accidentally spilling some coffee on the case, the X300 is built like--and resembles--a black box recorder. The keyboard is spill resistant, and the textured carbon- and glass-fiber exterior is supposed to protect the innards; it feels good to the touch, too.

Now, technically, the X300 is a little chunky side for a true ultralight-a little over an inch thick and 3.4 pounds (4 pounds with AC adapter) as opposed to the Air's 3-pound heft. Then again, you can pop a disc in the ThinkPad's paper-thin, three-ounce DVD drive and actually watch movies as opposed to trying to stuff an external drive in with the Air in that manila envelope. (You CAN remove the drive, which leaves you with a machine weighing just 3.1 pounds)

The X300 has a decent amount of power for an ultralight notebook--in fact, it scored surprisingly well against other ultralights. With a 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo L7100 processor and 2GB of RAM, it scored a 64, outpacing the MacBook Air by a healthy 7 points in WorldBench 6 Beta 2 tests. On the other hand, the X300's performance is exactly average compared to the broad field of ultraportables we've tested. It posted an average score in our battery life tests too, lasting 4 hours and 22 minutes on a charge.

Another thumb in Apple's eye is the X300's many features. Here you have a notebook not much thicker than Air but, not only does it manage to slot in a DVD drive, it also has three USB 2.0 ports, a VGA-out port for an external display, a webcam, headphone and microphone jacks, and an ethernet port. The Air has a webcam, but it has only one USB port, and you have to use an optional adapter to connect via ethernet.

Speaking of options, the X300 is probably the only ultraportable PC that gives you both a touchpoint and a trackpad. Obviously it boils down to personal preference, but at least you can choose. As is often the case with ThinkPads, the keyboard feels great. There's enough tactile feedback on the full-sized keys to allow quick, accurate typing.

To make life even easier is the one shortcut key to rule them all--the ThinkVantage button. Most notebooks have some sort of shortcut to helpful utilities or a "For Dummies..." version of the control panel. However, this is by far the most helpful, complete, and concise collection of them. You can use the button to access a backup utility, to set security protocols, or to find a wireless data connection, and if your computer won't boot, the button will make the computer boot a small non-Windows OS from a hidden hard drive partition, after which you can diagnose problems and even download drivers, if necessary.

And when you do start searching for wireless connectivity options, you are fully covered with the X300. Among the highlights, this notebook has built-in support for 802.11a/b/g/n, Wireless WAN, Wireless USB, Bluetooth, and the "gee-whiz" feature of the month: GPS (an army of travelling salesmen are cheering somewhere with that addition).

I have one minor concern: The hidden OS and drive image for bringing it back to factory defaults reside on the notebook's hard drive. The X300's meager 64GB solid-state drive will probably fill up quick, and between Windows, your applications, and the hidden image, you're left with precious little room for your files.

But otherwise, while it does cost a fair amount, Lenovo proves that you can cram everything you need into a tiny package.

Multimedia Audio Video 3D

2008-Mar-22

If you play a lot of video and use Windows Media Player, you've probably come across a number of files that you can't play, you're told you need to have a codec to handle them. Good luck finding that codec. Instead, try the VLC media player. This software plays pretty much every media type you can think of and likely a few you haven't imagined. Not only will it play audio and video formats, but it will also play DVDs, VCDs, and many streaming protocols.  
 
* It is a free cross-platform media player  
* It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need for additional codecs  
* It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features (video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...)  
 
* GNU License - Freeware
