Wii Fit Considered To Train New Navy Recruits
Nintendo's Wii Fit has been a quiet revolution. The device has been stamped with an approval by the American Heart Association, it has sparked many to exercise, it has been used in schools and physical fitness programs, and now it just might find its way into the Navy. Think of a video game that could have accomplished that five years ago. Or good luck trying, we should say. A new report on the Wii Fit has shown that the U.S. Navy is considering its use to get recruits in shape, as many would rather exercise

Holy High Pixels, Batman - Altek Readies 14MP Smartphone
At what point does a smartphone really become a digital camera with call-making abilities? Up until now, we've never really had to put much thought into such a scenario, because quite frankly, the integrated cameras on most smartphones leave a lot to be desired. That might change when Altek releases its Leo device, which is technically a smartphone but might better be described as a hybrid camera/phone. The reason? This thing is packing a 14 megapixel camera. Flip the thing over and you'll spy a zoom lens encased

16.8% Of Verizon Customers Show Extreme Interest In iPhone
Rumors of the iPhone landing on Verizon Wireless have been swirling for years, nearly as long as the original iPhone has been out. With LTE on the horizon and a next generation iPhone expected at next month's WWDC, VZW is in a good position. Of course, it's rumored that AT&T's exclusivity contract still runs until 2012, but we suspect there's nothing that cannot be changed when enough money is involved. A new report looking into the interest of a Verizon iPhone has discovered results that aren't entirely

Amazon's Kindle DX Not Doing So Hot At University
Amazon's Kindle DX has managed to nearly vanish from the spotlight after being ceremoniously introduced at Pace University in New York last year, but Amazon never really intended for the DX to make a huge stand in the consumer market place. Rather, the DX was meant to overtake the textbook in the education sector, and possibly even the newspaper/magazine sectors. So far as the industry can tell, none of those takeovers really happened, and while some universities gave the DX a chance, feedback from students

FCC Finds That One In Six Wireless Users Have Had "Bill Shock"
We've all heard the horror stories from people traveling overseas, only to return home to a wireless bill that's more expensive than their mortgage payment. You're probably thinking "that would never happen to me!," but the reality is that it happens a lot more than you may expect. A new inquiry into this matter by the FCC has found that one in six American cell phone users have experienced "bill shock," which is described as "a sudden increase in their monthly bill when they have not changed their service plan."

Amazon's Kindle Not Getting Color Display For Awhile
Amazon's Kindle, which was the company's first piece of hardware, turned the reading world upside-down. Even now, the Kindle is the e-reader of choice, and it's the first device that comes to mind when you're thinking of e-paper, e-ink, and e-readers in general. But the iPad made everyone think twice about the technology; was an e-ink screen really needed? Was it better to use an LCD, get color images, video, etc., and still have 10 hours of battery life? That debate rages on, but there's no doubt that the pressure

Intel Core i7-875K and i5-655K Unlocked Processors
Once upon a time, not very long ago in fact, Intel vehemently frowned upon overclocking. There were even times leading up to new processor and chipset releases when it was rumored that Intel would bring an end to overclocking altogether. Thankfully, the rumors of overclocking's death were greatly exaggerated and we enthusiasts continue to practice its black magic to this very day. Intel's distaste for overclocking has obviously dwindled over the last few years, however. Whereas before, all of the company's processors

Amazon's Kindle DX Not Doing So Hot At University
Amazon's Kindle DX has managed to nearly vanish from the spotlight after being ceremoniously introduced at Pace University in New York last year, but Amazon never really intended for the DX to make a huge stand in the consumer market place. Rather, the DX was meant to overtake the textbook in the education sector, and possibly even the newspaper/magazine sectors. So far as the industry can tell, none of those takeovers really happened, and while some universities gave the DX a chance, feedback from students seems to indicate that it didn't exactly pass with flying colors.The 10" e-reader has plenty of space for text, but the most major problem is the inability to display color charts and graphics at all, not to mention the slow page refresh (compared to quickly flipping to various pages in a real book). Students found it difficult or impossible to adjust, with most of the feedback from Virginia University and University of Washington students being negative. In fact, one student in particular was elated to hear that one of the classes she elected wasn't equipped to be taken with an e-reader, so another heavy textbook was added to her arsenal.
By and large, the students enjoyed using the DX for casual reading, but it wasn't so great for getting real work done. Some students at Princeton University and Portland-based Reed College praised the long battery life and "green" factor from saving paper, but when it came time to get busy with classes, the majority preferred old fashioned books. Amazon's still got a huge opportunity in the education sector, but it seems that breaking through in colleges will be more difficult than originally assumed.Â

Audio stutters or sounds timestretched when CPU activity increases
Hi all,
For the last few weeks, whilst playing music/videos on my Sony Vaio laptop, the sound flickers and stutters when the CPU activity increases or when there is hard drive activity (for example, when I load another program). This is obviously causing some form of interference with the sound. It never used to do this before; audio playback used to continute to sound smooth and uninterrupted whilst I was using the laptop for other things. Disabling services and statup processes reduced the problem, but that was only because there was less for the system to execute, therefore less processing activity, but this isnt really a solution. It is as if there must be nothing running at all in order to achieve continuing seamless playback.
The sound card uses RealTek audio drivers, which I have obtained from the Sony Vaio website.
(OS: WinXP Service Pack 1 - might I need service pack 2?)
Cheers,
Tristan

Amazon's Kindle Not Getting Color Display For Awhile

Even now, the Kindle is the e-reader of choice, and it's the first device that comes to mind when you're thinking of e-paper, e-ink, and e-readers in general. But the iPad made everyone think twice about the technology; was an e-ink screen really needed? Was it better to use an LCD, get color images, video, etc., and still have 10 hours of battery life? That debate rages on, but there's no doubt that the pressure is on for Amazon to consider a color version of the Kindle in order to better compete with the crazy amount of tablet PCs that are coming out this year.The company's CEO, Jeff Bezos, recently stated at an annual meeting of Amazon shareholders, that the Kindle will remained focused on the core e-reader contingent, noting that they've already sold millions of the devices. When addressing the color e-ink concerns more directly, he had this to say: "The Kindle will compete with these LCD devices like the iPad by being a very focused product. Serious readers are going to want a purpose-built device, because it's an important activity for them. If an activity is important, you get dedicated devices."
But Bezos stated that the ability to offer "high-quality color" on e-ink type displays was "still some ways out," and while he has seen early devices in labs, there weren't anywhere near ready for mass production. That's somewhat disappointing, but it leaves the door open for other competitors to make a move before Amazon; in the e-reader market, there's really no big competition for these guys, so if someone else pushes out a color version first, that can only be great news for readers the world over.Â

Please help! New system build...
Hey everyone,
I'm building a system, it's my first one.
I'm on a tight budget so I'm looking to have a fast, reliable, sweet system for the money.
I won't be doing anything hrdcore on this... internet browsing/email, word processing, minor gaming (arcade/yahoo games, maybe WoW, and runescape), video conversion, dvd/cd burning, IMing. This is apersonal machine that could potentially be used in the future for a business, but still nothing hardcore.
I know AMD is cheaper, but I'm really not a fan. I've shopped around online and So far this is what I have picked out:
Gigabyte GA-H57M
Intel Core i5 660
G.Skill Ripjaws series DDR3 1600 (4GB)
Seagate Barracuda HD (SATA II 3.0 Gb/s) 500GB
I'm wondering..is the i5 750 better than the 660? Because I can get it for a better deal.
I'm also wondering about which case to get, and PSU. I know it isn't recommended to get them together. I'd like a case that is cheap but good for the money. Something a bit fancy looking with some leds and a clear side panel. Preferably USB/audio ports up top instead of on bottom. A mid or full tower. Something that will keep things cool.
What size PSU will be sufficient for this machine? 500W? More or less? Keep in mind, I will also have a DVD burner and card reader. I'm not going with a huge HD cause I don't need it. I also have an external WD drive (320GBs) to hook up to it so...

Wii Fit Considered To Train New Navy Recruits
Nintendo's Wii Fit has been a quiet revolution. The device has been stamped with an approval by the American Heart Association, it has sparked many to exercise, it has been used in schools and physical fitness programs, and now it just might find its way into the Navy. Think of a video game that could have accomplished that five years ago. Or good luck trying, we should say.A new report on the Wii Fit has shown that the U.S. Navy is considering its use to get recruits in shape, as many would rather exercise with a video game than just hit the boring, old-fashioned gym. There's debate over whether Wii Fit actually leads to substantial results, but even the consideration is huge news. Navy Surgeon General Vice Adm. Adam Robinson admitted that "using versions of such games, in combination with the traditional physical training that new sailors get at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, Ill., would help newcomers to military service build up the endurance they need to get in shape safely." He stated: "There are lots of programs now that people can [use to] become very physically active while they’re using interactive computer games. So, in other words, this isn’t about [starting] with computers and stopping [everything else] — because we’re not going to do that. This is about incorporating those types of activities into something that people can use to become more physically active."
And a preference for video games over the gym isn't the only reason this is being considered. Due to society's shifting over the years, recruits are said to be weaker than in past, requiring more effort to get them battle-ready than in generations before. Robinson stated: "I have no doubt that today’s youth and the people that we’re talking about are capable of becoming physically fit. But I think that there has been a definite difference in the amount of time that people have devoted to physical activity, and I think that is a manifestation of physical education in the school systems in America."
Still, the idea of using video games to help train recruit is still in the "early stages," and no implementation date has been established. But we could definitely see this taking off, and so long as helps our military become stronger, we don't see how anyone could argue with that. Just make sure those recruits wear their Wii remote wrist straps!

16.8% Of Verizon Customers Show Extreme Interest In iPhone
Rumors of the iPhone landing on Verizon Wireless have been swirling for years, nearly as long as the original iPhone has been out. With LTE on the horizon and a next generation iPhone expected at next month's WWDC, VZW is in a good position. Of course, it's rumored that AT&T's exclusivity contract still runs until 2012, but we suspect there's nothing that cannot be changed when enough money is involved.A new report looking into the interest of a Verizon iPhone has discovered results that aren't entirely shocking, but if these numbers were to translate into sales if a Verizon iPhone did indeed surface, America's largest wireless carrier would get way, way bigger in a hurry. Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty has stated: "According to our [Alphawise U.S. consumer iPhone survey], there is substantial pent up iPhone demand within the Verizon installed base as 16.8% of Verizon subscribers said they are ‘very likely’ to purchase an iPhone if offered on the Verizon Network. This 16.8% is higher than AT&T subscriber’s 14.6% extreme interest in the current AT&T iPhone, and well above the overall iPhone extreme interest of 7.5%."
Contrary to the belief of many, a Verizon iPhone probably wouldn't mean that loads of AT&T users would jump ship. Many are tied to family plans and business accounts, which means that leaving for another carrier is often too complicated to endure. What it may mean, however, is that AT&T's smartphone user growth would slow dramatically, as free-of-contract consumers may gravitate towards Verizon's larger 3G network in order to avoid the dropped calls and such that are so often associated with AT&T's network.
Either way, it'll be interesting to see what happens when the iPhone does eventually head to another U.S. carrier. Will AT&T lose a lot of subscribers? Will loads of dumb-phone users sign up for an iPhone on another carrier? Hopefully we won't have to wait long to find out.

U.S. Bill May Force Pre-Paid Cell Phone Buyers To Give Personal Info
Did you know that you can purchase a cell phone in the United States without actually handing over any personal information at all? It's true. For years, consumers have been able to purchase pre-paid cell phones from stores such as Wal-Mart, and since they can be purchased with cash, there's little to no trace left behind. For many, they don't actually stop to think about this, but for drug lords and other criminals who wish to maintain a low cover while communicating on the go, having a pre-paid cell phone is the ultimate luxury.In Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland and Thailand, users who purchase pre-paid mobiles must register so that the nation will know who is behind the call should something go awry. Some may view this as an invasion of privacy, but for those who purchase post-paid phones, they all have to cough up their personal information anyway. This is basically aligning the information requirements for post- and pre-paid consumers. Now, the U.S. is considering similar action, as pre-paid mobiles in the hands on criminals is usually a dead-end for investigators.
According to a new report, the proposed legislation would "require buyers of pre-paid cell phones to show identification when they purchase them and mandate that telephone companies keep the information on file as they do with subscription cell phones." Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer stated the following: "This proposal is overdue because for years terrorists, drug kingpins and gang members have stayed one step ahead of the law by using prepaid phones that are hard to trace."
We largely agree. If this were a serious invasion of privacy, that's one thing; but given that post-paid mobile users already have to give up their personal information, there's no reason to prevent pre-paid users from doing the same. As they say, if you have nothing to hide, you should have nothing to worry about. There's no time table for when the bill may become law, but it's good to see progress being made. It's long overdue, in our estimation.

FCC Finds That One In Six Wireless Users Have Had "Bill Shock"
We've all heard the horror stories from people traveling overseas, onlyto return home to a wireless bill that's more expensive than theirmortgage payment. You're probably thinking "that would never happen tome!," but the reality is that it happens a lot more than you may expect.A new inquiry into this matter by the FCC has found that one in sixAmerican cell phone users have experienced "bill shock," which isdescribed as "a sudden increase in their monthly bill when they have notchanged their service plan."All told, 17% of American adults with a personal cell phone said thatthey've been shocked by their wireless bill at least once, despite notchanging anything about their plan. According to the FCC, thattranslates into 30 million American citizens who have had to deal withthis frustration, and overwhelmingly, these customers were not contactedby their wireless carrier beforehand to soften the blow.
Based on the numbers, 88% said that their wireless company didn'tcontact them after their bill suddenly and unexpectedly increased, while84% said their wireless carrier did not contact them when they werejust about to exceed their allowed minutes, texts or data blocks. Thesurvey also found that many cell phone users were confused or notknowledgeable about the early termination fee attached to theircontract, and just under half of people didn't feel "satisfied" with howmany places they could get "a good signal."
The numbers are pretty interesting, but hardly shocking. A lot of thisfine print is never explained to consumers, and many never bother totake the initiative and investigate on their own. Have you everexperienced bill shock? More than once?

Survey Finds Corporate PCs Riddled With Malware
Another day, another survey that's not surprising at all to anyone in the technology field. Try as they may, most administrators and IT workers can't go 24 hours without being hit with at least one complaint that isn't link to malware, or other software that should not have been on a worker's machine to begin with. And now, there's some actual data to back that up.Bit9 has published results from a recent study they did on this very topic, with the title being "2010: What's Running On Your Users' Desktops?" They surveyed over 1200 IT professionals, and 68% of them said that "they have software restrictions in place, but 45% said they still found unauthorized software on more than half of their client PCs." A total of 46% admitted that "spyware, malware, and unlicensed software continue to pose a problem by getting past traditional security methods," while 25% of user downtime could be attributed to these snafus. Just under 40% confessed that they didn't have a software usage policy that "specifically prohibits employees from downloading their own software," but from our experience, having those creates lots of tension and animosity within the office. After all, who can live without Firefox?
Because of this, just 32% of the professionals who responded felt "confident their businesses would be safe from damage caused by unauthorized or malicious software this year," and while Bit9 obviously has motives for investigating this stuff (they sell whitelisting security products to help counter these issues), we do not doubt the results at all. From our own time in the office, we know just how bad malware problems can be, particularly on PCs of employees who find themselves with too much free time or not enough computer knowledge.
So, the lesson in all of this? Staff up your IT department, because regardless of safeguards, you'll be running into these problems sooner or later.
