Review: Point of View Mobii Sydney - Mini PC with Nvidia ION technology

Point of View Mobii Sydney is a low-cost PC in a compact format based on Intel Atom processor and Nvidia's ION -circuits. The computer is launched as an alternative to a HTPC computer. But hold on what it promises?

The first impression I get when I unpack the box to this computer, the computer is very pretty. A shiny black compact ytte, well-laminated, makes me almost not want to touch the computer because I'm afraid to smudge it with my fingerprints. The only thing that föjer with your computer when you buy it is a letter containing drivers for Windows Vista / XP and a power cord. No operating system is not installed on the machine. There you will either buy into or arrange any other way myself.

The heart of the machine is its Intel Celeron 330 1.6 Ghz processor. It is thus not a performance computer, it is about, because this type of processor would otherwise primarily used in ultra-portable computers. 2GB of DDR2 memory at  533 MHz and an Nvidia ION GPU bodes However, for the computer to be able to deliver more power than its ultraportable competitors do.

The computer is slightly larger than a HTPC but is still small enough to fit in the TV bench. There are both VGA, DVI and HDMI output which allows connectivity to monitors and TVs are many. Would the 320 GB -sized hard drive is not enough, the computer is also equipped with not less than 10 USB ports, eight on the back and two on the front, where you can easily plug in external devices.

After you install Windows 7 on the computer, I was of course curious as to what it would be able to perform. Since I have a portable computer based on the same processor, I was curious to see if the computer really - as promised - would be able to play HD movies in full screen. Because the computer does not have a blu-ray player, I decided to test this by filling up two home movies in mkv format. The first movie in 720p resolution, the second in 1080p resolution .

The playback of movies in 720p resolution went quite smoothly. Through the computer's optical audio output, it was not an issue that after installing the drivers - which, however, I had downloaded from the manufacturer's website because the disc only contained XP / Vista versions of drivers - play surround sound from the movie.

Unfortunately the computer did not at all to play mkv movies in 1080p resolution.Despite idoget trickery with the settings to try to churn out better performance, I managed to not get movies to float. As an alternative to a HTPC connected to your TV, this notebook is not a have if you seek a full HD resolution. If your TV does not support full HD computer is sufficient, however, and the rest of you get a lot of computer for the money. Need a cheap and compact second computer at home is Point of View Mobii Sydney a good option.

Mionix Launches Tough game mouse Naos 5000


Do you play much computer games, you need a real mouse. The simple mouse that comes with computer packages are not up to standard. The Swedish company Mionix launching Naos 5000, a new mouse for gaming. In addition to being ergonomically designed, it has lots of features that players certainly appreciate.


Mionix Naos 5000 is customizable in many ways and allows you to use all five fingers to control as much as possible in games. There are seven programmable buttons that you can set to work differently in your game. The mouse includes an internal memory of 128 kb that stores up to five different profiles. These profiles can then switch between even within a game.



As with many other gaming mice, you can determine how heavy Naos 5000 should be by yourself choose how many weights you want to have installed in it. This increases the precision based on your own taste. Additional precision you get with a laser sensor that has resolution of 5040 DPI. You can set three different DPI values, which you can then switch between the inside of the games.


Mionix Naos 5000 is therefore a computer mouse for the enthusiastic gamer. Tastes like it, so it costs. More than 720 crowns is the target price for. Options include in the form of Microsoft Sidewinder, which is similarly priced.


I have not yet tested the Naos 5000, but the Sidewinder has tried and should be tested before you buy one. I found that the Sidewinder was too edgy and great to be nice to use. But this is a matter of taste. The first test is a good idea.

Ipred scared the Swedes to legally download


When Ipred Act was introduced on 1 April this year, Internet traffic fell by 40 percent overnight. Many of the Swedes finished downloading movies and music illegally. Now, traffic is back on the same level, but it is not the same traffic ...


Ipred Act was extremely controversial when it was launched. The law is there to copyright holders to find out who has downloaded their works from the Internet, by going to court and require ISPs to disclose clients that have used an IP number at any given time.


In practice, this is technically curious, since it is impossible to know the person who has used an IP address, just the account that was used. If you have a wireless network at home, which is not safe, neighbors can connect via it and then it's account owners who have problems on Ipred law is used. Nor is it possible to tell who sat at the computer. So the evidence is rather difficult.


Not make it easier to Internet service providers have begun to clean up their statistics .Many of the major Internet service providers will only store information about the IP number in a week, something that is too short for the law to be used properly.


Scared Swedes


But this does not eliminate the fact that it is illegal to download copyrighted material from the Internet in the form of film, music, books and other items. The law had an effect similar to the crazy lawsuits that have occurred in the U.S., where the music and film industry has used scare tactics by meeting individuals in multi-millionand then spent the judges in the media to talk about what can happen.


So when the law was put into service April 1 internal traffic dropped like a stone .Searches on bittorrent, uTorrent and other keywords related to file sharing to do, was halved in one day. The Swedes did not dare longer to download from The Pirate Bay for example.


Reports indicate today that illegal file sharing is returning. Many users have started to download music and movies again. But numbers are not back to what it was before Ipred.


Legally movies and music


However, Internet traffic back on the same level. This has not just piracy to do, but is largely a matter of legal downloading. When you no longer dare to download illegally, the Swedes started to look into the legal options. A good example is Spotify, which many people today use to listen to music.



In the movie business, there is nothing quite as attractive alternatives yet. Webservice Headweb, where you can stream video to the computer, appears to be the driveway with the contract with the film industry. Voddler, which is much like Spotify fixed on film, however, seems to go bad at the moment .


When I have done unscientific survey among my friends, is the very many who have switched to completely using Spotify instead of torrent sites. In film and television has almost finished downloading. Instead, the service that streams via digital TV, which is used by many. SF Anytime and the like allows you to watch movies at any time directly on your TV


It also looks as if the Swedes are increasingly starting to go to the video retailer to rent and buy movies. In an article in Aftonbladet says video distributor Bonver that increased the number of buy-DVDs with 20 percent and rents DVDs by 30-40 percent, compared to the same month last year.


How do you do for yourself today? Have you left piratnerladdningen for other services, and what services are there when you use?

It's fun to grub in the system

I've been a Windows user since the mid 1990's. Before that I drove the Amiga and Vic-64. Sure, I have test driven a lot of Linux, and Mac I've used a lot because I was educated typographer and works with newspapers. Therefore, I consider myself to have enough meat on the bones when I say that I think Windows is the best operating system .

The main reason is now that I'm used to. I can, and has been around since Windows 3.11. I have learned to make the system work as I want, by adapting it for my own taste, fellösa and look the little things I can tune to get better performance. And so on.

Mac users tend to always mock me for this. Why not get a Mac where you do not have to keep on fiddling the system?The answer to this, that I like to grub around in the system ! I want control of the operating system and be able to choose exactly what is running in the background.

Thanks to these opportunities, I have not had to change the computer very often.When it starts to go slow, just down the round and get back performance. It can safely do on the Mac also, of course - I do not write it here to start the OS war, but to explain why I prefer Windows.

When I sit down at a friend's computer and find it extremely tough, I can not help but to trim it. With old habits I go through all the background programs, run antispyware and cleaning, removes debris and uninstall unnecessary units. They are always happy when they can use his computer normally again, and I still think it's fun.

So you do not have 203 billion spam per day

203 billion spam. So many were sent there during the summer this year. Every day. The Cisco IronPort who regularly mellanrumtar provide statistics on how much junk mail ( spam ) is sent, and in two years, the increase in summer was 120 percent!Here are tips to help you avoid spam.

It is in a press release that Cisco IronPort go out with statistics that tell how sick much spam is sent today. They explain that the spammers can hardly take leave during the summer. So true ... Spam continues to increase, after the significant decline in a few months ago when the ISP McColo, which has given bandwidth to spammers, was shut down.

Now make use of so-called spammers botnets ( botnets ) to send out their spam. It is more efficient in many ways, because it becomes harder to stop the delivery because the senders are sometimes hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide.Moreover, it's faster. The problem of botnets is based, inter alia, in that people do not run good antivirus program .

Protect yourself from spam

The first line of defense against spam is to never give away your email address to suspicious places, and above all to never ever post your address on the web. Is it visible on the Web will spammers so-called robots to find it. They have software to surf around the net in search of email addresses.

Did you get caught in a spam registry, you can never get out of it. Many spammers do with a link to cancel your registration in their spam, but click on the confirm only that you actually read the email and then increase the value of the address, resulting in even more spam.

When you enter an email address for example, to download a software, you can use services that give you a temporary address. This address usually works for a few minutes. It is enough for you to receive a reply with a link to the download or login. 10 Minute Mail is a service that is completely free.
