Samsung P2350 23" LCD Monitor Review

In addition

How Is Apple's Closed Nature Fostering Innovation?
It's a weird company, that Apple. The company has nearly sunk a number of times now, and their current CEO actually left for a period and returned in order to right the ship. They had a huge grip in the education market, and then it couldn't find a market at all for years. Today, the company's portable electronics are far more popular than the computers that it builds (notice they're not called Apple Computer anymore?), and many credit the iPhone as the single phone that revolutionized the smartphone market.Everything

Internet Connectivity Propelling Blu-ray Sales
Sales of Blu-ray players have begun to pick up, and you can thank Internet connectivity and changing TV watching patterns for the shift. Shipments of the players tripled in 2009, though they still lag far behind DVD players, mainly because they're far more expensive. But as more people seek new and different ways to watch their favorite television shows and movies, whether via Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Boxee or other means, the players' network connectivity becomes more attractive and makes the price more scalable,

Apple "iPad" Leaked Via 30-Second Video Advertisement? Or Not...

Apple's upcoming iPad tablet?آ Aspect ratio be damned...
Now, there's a little more believability in that second assumption but a whole lot of intentional mystery behind it as well. A supposed "iPad" advertisement has just leaked out, and while no one will confirm whether it's real or fake, it definitely has the typical "Apple vibe" to it. Based on this video, the iPad looks like an enlarged iPod touch, with a giant touch panel, virtual keyboard and OS X. There's also a variety of ports around the back, which could lead to this being used as a semi-dockable notebook. Wednesday will be here soon enough, but have a peek at the ad below for what could be an early preview - or not.

How Is Apple's Closed Nature Fostering Innovation?
It's a weird company, that Apple. The company has nearly sunk a number of times now, and their current CEO actually left for a period and returned in order to right the ship. They had a huge grip in the education market, and then it couldn't find a market at all for years. Today, the company's portable electronics are far more popular than the computers that it builds (notice they're not called Apple Computer anymore?), and many credit the iPhone as the single phone that revolutionized the smartphone market.Everything that Apple has developed since 2000 has led to something groundbreaking. The iPod turned the MP3 player market into an unstoppable force, the original iMac refdefined the all-in-one PC, Mac OS X gave Vista and Windows 7 something to seriously think about and the iPhone is still widely viewed as the best phone on the planet, bar none. It's easy to say that "Apple" and "innovation" go hand in hand, but what's crazy is that Apple is easily one of the most closed companies in technology today.
Apple never shows off products before they're announced, ever. Apple never shows their face at trade shows, ever. Apple won't allow their employees or partners to talk about unannounced products, ever. Apple keeps everything close to the chest, which makes you wonder how such innovation has managed to grow under such a heavy coat of suppression. Somehow, things like the App Store have encouraged developers to work through Apple's wild rules and still participate, and to this day no other App Store even comes close to offering the varying that Apple can.
Many are speculating that a Tablet of some sort is coming on Wednesday, and one can only assume that a Tablet-based App Store will also be announced. Developers will undoubtedly scramble to create new software before the device launches, but the question is "why?" We think that the secrecy actually acts to increase the buzz surrounding an Apple product, and that makes people excited to get involved once it's finally unwrapped. Still, we agree that Apple could be holding the power a bit too closely, and if someone like Google comes around with an equally exciting solution, that stock value may finally find its ceiling. Of course, Android has yet to knock Apple out, so who knows--maybe Apple's biggest fault really is their biggest benefit?

Internet Connectivity Propelling Blu-ray Sales
Sales of Blu-ray players have begun to pick up, and you can thankInternet connectivity and changing TV watching patterns for the shift.Shipments of the players tripled in 2009, though they still lag farbehind DVD players, mainly because they're far more expensive. But asmore people seek new and different ways to watch their favorite television shows and movies,whether via Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Boxee or other means, the players'network connectivity becomes more attractive and makes the price morescalable, according to a report by In-Stat.
Some key findings of the report:
- Shipments of network-enabledBlu-ray players/recorders will approach 80 million units by 2013.(Still slightly less than DVD players by volume, but quadruple therevenue because of the retail price.)
- 18% of US survey respondents with at least some interest in purchasing a Blu-ray player cited cost as a barrier.
- Japan dominates the market for Blu-ray recorders. Europe is the largest revenue market for Blu-ray players.
- The key semiconductor providers supporting the Blu-ray and DVD player/recorder market include Broadcom, NEC, MediaTek, Sunplus and Zoran.
Several brands of Blu-ray player already are able to stream videodirectly from Netflix, eliminating the need for consumers to connect acomputer to their television. Internet connectivity also potentiallywill enable the players to stream video from other sources, such asYouTube, Vimeo and Boxee, the latter of which offers its own TV box tostream its offerings.So while the content producers (the networks and studios) and thecontent providers (the cable and satellite companies) are living infear of consumers skipping the traditional means of getting theirentertainment, the device manufacturers aren't too concerned.Especially seeing as most manufacturers of DVD players also produceBlu-ray players.
"The consumer electronics makers are really the only ones who don'thave anything to lose if consumers switch," Forrester Researchanalyst James McQuivey told Advertising Age. "Everyone else is conflicted."

Today, Intel announced that it will be the title sponsor of the post-game show on CBS. Intel will also appear as an individual Super Bowl advertiser, representing the first time Intel has advertised during the game in over a decade.This year, Intel will debut two new commercials over three 30-second spots. The first of the commercials will air during the fourth quarter of the game on February 7th. The other two 30-second spots will run during The Intel Super Bowl Today Post-Game Show.
Intel Scores Post-Game Title Sponsorship and Fourth Quarter Ad Spot
News Highlights- Intel is leveraging the Super Bowl to support its newly announced family of processors.
- Intel has announced it is the title sponsor of the Super Bowl XLIV post-game show and will run in-show advertising during the fourth quarter and post-game show.
- Spots highlight the all new 2010 Intelآ® Coreâ„¢ family of processors through "geek humor."
Intel will debut two new commercials over three purchased 30-second spots, the first airing during the fourth quarter of the big game on Feb. 7. Each commercial employs a sense of "geek humor" and will center on the 2010 Intelآ® Coreâ„¢ Processor family, which announced earlier this month at the International Consumer Electronics Show, delivers unprecedented integration and smart performance, including Intelآ® Turbo Boost Technology for laptops, desktops and embedded devices.
Sponsoring "The Intelآ® Super Bowl Today Post-Game Show," during which two 30-second Intel spots will run, gives the company another platform to convey to a huge audience that Intel is a different brand of company.
"Each day we are busy inventing the chips that make your favorite tech gadgets indispensible to you, like your computer, your smartphone and your car navigation system," said Deborah Conrad, Intel vice president and general manager, Corporate Marketing Group. "Intel inside those devices means you are getting the best from the geniuses who are coming up with your next favorite thing."
Timing of the Super Bowl and the audience it draws are "perfect" for Intel this year, according to Conrad.
"We just launched our all new 2010 Intel Core family of processors and were looking for the perfect place to run our newest "Sponsors of Tomorrow" ads, the first to spotlight not only the Intel brand, but our processors as well," Conrad said.
Last year Intel partnered with four companies for the first Super Bowl commercial in 3-D. With its spot during Super Bowl XLIV, Intel returns as an individual Super Bowl advertiser for the first time in 12 years.
Created by San Francisco independent ad agency, Venables Bell & Partners, the Super Bowl and post-game spots present Intelآ® Coreâ„¢ as a technological game changer in processor technology.
"We could have taken a serious approach to touting the industry's most advanced processors, but the overwhelming success of our â€کSponsors of Tomorrow' ads tells us â€کgeek humor' works," Conrad said. "Our new ads continue to poke fun at smart people, and the folks working at Intel are among the smartest around.
"We look forward to strengthening the Intel brand and putting a smile on the faces of some 100 million people as they grab the last of the hot wings and go in for another dip of guacamole."
Launched in May 2009, the global "Sponsors of Tomorrow" campaign includes print, online, outdoor and other advertisement placements, plus such additional marketing efforts as in-store and online retail campaigns, all focused on helping consumers choose the best Intel processor that meets their needs. Omnicom Media Group handles global media planning for Intel, including the Super Bowl sponsorship and buy, which are valued in the millions.
