The 160 Megapixel Camera: Seitz D3
Who doesn’t like his pictures to be clicked? May be everyone even there a lot of people that love taking pictures and are interested in photography. So what basically attracts a creative photographer in a camera, the resolution might be the answer on everyone’s lips. Today digital cameras are in much of the demands and are considered to be one of the best. The style, multifunctional features and the compactness along with the resolution power is considered to be the feature to be in every camera or basically in a digital camera.
Some companies tries to play a different ball game all together they focus on maintaining a good pixel range in the camera and slightly compromise on the style and other external feature. So if you are the one that searches the quality of the pixels in the camera then Seitz is the company to look out for, Seitz has created a 6 x 17 inch 160 megapixel camera for photography loving people, this camera has created a niche in the market and is considered as the camera having the highest resolution among all the digital cameras present.
The drawbacks can be mentioned as the huge size of the camera and the amount of space it requires for a picture to be stored it needs approximately 900MB of space to store a single picture hence a simple memory card may not be enough for you to store some photos. It is the Seitz D3 digital camera. It comes with a tablet PC also which makes the work easier for you.
The camera is priced at $45,000 it is the price for this huge advanced digital camera. The gadget would only be used by some because of its high price tag and bulky appearances, so we can term it as the most irrational purchases in the world.
HowToRestore your lost broadband password ..
The problem of one of my friend: He had an Airtel connection and Huawei MT880 Adsl router. His ISP username and password is saved on the router and it gets connected when he turn on the router. Now he forgot his password and wanted to change it. And couldn’t because it was saved in the router. Using those asterisk removing utilities didn’t work too. So he was stuck there. Now if you have the same story, you could try this too :
You will need your router password to reset your ISP password. This is different from your ISP acount’s password. On most routers, the default username / password combination is admin/admin or admin/1234 . If you have changed your router password and forgot it too, then I cant help you. You can though reset router password with Reset slot in your router.
I’ll be using HyperTerminal for Telnet as it has got some nice functions. You can use other telnet utils too… So lets start:
Run HyperTerminal by Start > Programs > Accesories> Communications > HyperTerminal.
Enter any name for the Connection. Click on OK.
In the Connect Using combo box, select TCP/IP (WinSock) and enter 192.168.1.1 as Host address. (192.168.1.1 is usually your router’s address ). If you have customized your router’s ip address then enter the customized address. The Port Number 23 is fine, no need to change it. Click on Connect.
You will get a login prompt. Enter your router username and password here. If all goes allright you will get a prompt saying “Login Successful”.
Now on the console, type this:
console enable {Press Enter}
You’ll get a prompt like this:
Quantum>
Now on the prompt, type this:
Quantum> fm {Press Enter}
The prompt will change to Quantum fm>.
Now in HyperTerminal, click on Transfer > Capture Text. Enter a location to save the settings file. For example My Documents\mysettings.txt .
Click on Start. You will be back to the router prompt.
Now type this:
Quantum fm> cat im.conf {Press Enter}
This is quite a big file and it will take a while to list. Just wait until the listing is complete and you get back to the prompt.
Click on Transfer > Capture Text > Stop.
Now the tough part is over.
Type these commands on the console to quit telnet:
Quantum fm>home {Press Enter}
Quantum>exit {Press Enter}
>user logout {Press Enter}
Now you can quit HyperTerminal .
Now open the file we saved in Notepad and press Ctrl F.
Enter weLogin in the string to find.
And here you can see your ISP login details in clear text. …
I have tested this on Huawei MT880 and MT 882 routers. I cannot guarantee that they work on other routers too. But Atmos commands are usually same on all devices so they should work on other routers too.. And finally, you shouldn’t try it if you aren’t comfortable with command line usage. Don’t hold me accountable if you screwup doing things you shouldn’t be doing. Hope this helped

Cheapest mainstream Laptop (notebook) vs 7″ portable PCs
Personal Computers are becoming more and more cheap by every day, and the Computer manufacturing companies are now looking for the lowest end market.

To buy or not to buy ??
Before I may go and produce my verdict that fact I need to consider that as an user does one need a portable solution in the 1st place !!!
Ask your self what are the needs. Are you really in need for a portable solution ??
For example my sister-in-law baby seating her 7 month old daughter, definitely in need of a portable solution. Both in terms of her work (basic office apps, Internet, share market) and come entertainment too, movies music.
As a student, when doing full time college, in India the picture is different than USA, the time for computing may not be there at the college / class premise to use a Notebook.. Where as in Labs even your portable USB storage is not allowed. The picture of Indian university and US university in terms of using a notebook at college is quite different. How ever, every picture is different, now days even Indian colleges / universities are also understanding the fact of a student to stay portable.
As a business person, basic office apps, Internet, share market software, some accouting software, some basic entertainment is what required.
So in a mix term, Portable solution is always welcome at any category of user.
What to buy ?? The cheapest mainstream or the 7″ ultra portable ??
Here comes the big question, how ever this one is really a subjective question. There is few factors to consider beforing trying to suggest a solution.
Are their price justified ??
For a 7″, No, simply no. Just like my good friend Charan says, “The promiss yet to be full filled….” and truelly it is.
The ASUS EEE PC was made to be a sub USD 199 portable option, which meant a price tag of Rs. 8000/- + TAX. When the word came out about the product expectation was to see the basic model with 2 GB HDD / No PCMCIA / 7″ screen at lower than Rs. 10000/-. It was in need a really good and attractive price.
As the EEE PC now at sell at Mumbai and delhi the take home price for the basic model is around Rs. 18000/- including all TAX and All India warranty… In really, the actually price is quite higher than the expected price.
We are still in wait to look at the price for the HCL 7″ solution (MiLeap) and ACi Ultra mini. but its quite expected now after watching the EEE PC that their basic model wont come lower than Rs. 16500/- as take home price.
HCL as a brand really has a poor reputation for sub standard product where as ACi is a totally new brand to Indian consumers. Its the ASUS which is only to know to have good products.
Now, let us take a loot at the cheapest mainstream.
Compaq V6608AU with Dual Core X2 1.9 GHz / 2 GB RAM / nvidia 7150 / 160 GB / 15.4″ HD WideScreen at Rs. 35200/- take home price with their (Compaq) C702TU which comes with Celeron M 1.73 GHz / 1 GB RAM / GMA x3100 / 80 GB and rest are same as 6608AU. So they have cut down processor, ram, the onboard video, the size of HDD where as they keep the chasiss the same. Now the price is lowered by almost 30%.
Same with the Acer 3680, if you make the comparison with their Acer 4710z with Intel Dual Core E2080 and 1 GB RAM at Rs. 28000/- + TAX and once again its a 30% price cut for their Acer 3680.
In both these case, the ratio of cutting price versus cutting over all resource is same and quite justified.
Where as with 7″ PCs, we are experiencing too much cut at the resources but the price is not cut at that ratio. The resources are cut by more than 50% over all with, when comparing to a mainstream notebook, but the price is just lowered by just 20% to 25%.
What is that these 7″ are missing ??
Price is too high to lure those customers who were thing for the cheapest main stream solution to the 7″ ultra portable. Where as the resourses are too low to lure those customers who are not evening thinking for a portable solution.
The processor and the ammount for RAM is good enough for the EEE PC, its the Harddrive what they need to consider, a 20 GB at-least is needed… Also Wifi is a good option but at present how many Indian City does have wifi ?? In fact None… Those place where you get wifi are 5 start hotel and an AirPort and a BPO building or such, and its almost certain a person having access to this places are certainly capable to but a MainStream solution… PCIMCIA should have beend there for allowing solution such as BSNL EVDO at Rs. 250/- per month for unlimited CDMA wireless network or similer solution offered by all major telecom service providers such as Reliance / TATA. How ever having said that I would also point that CDMA USB options are also available.
One may even carry out video editing on those cheapest mainstream notebook while running vista (Both are fully vista compatible). Now running vista and video editng is not some thing what is intended for the 7″ idea… It is to make sure a lowest end product at budget of people. So cutting the resourse by that much should also have meant that price is also cut by that margine.
My vendor here at Kolkata (India) offers the Compaq v702TU at Rs. 1066/- (INR) pm for 2 years without any down payment !!! (loan at 11% interest). Almost same for the Acer model also.
Where as at this point, its a full Rs. 18000/- (INR) down payment for the 7″ availlable portable notebook.
What to buy ??
My vote is still with the Cheapest Mainstream solutions (both after a 1 GB RAM upgrade)… Its more productive than those 7″ with their price tag.
How ever then again lets wait and watch what the actual market reacts to the 7″ screen. Unfortunatelly majority our indian cosumer needs to know, “can it run Windows XP ?? Please install a Windows XP (pirated off course) for me.”. There you go, all those company who are planing for a good sale with 7″, unless with a 20 GB, no Windows (un official and Pirated off course) resulting no sell !!!

Viewsonic VA1926w Review
We used DisplayMate to conduct a variety of tests on this monitor, ranging from Geometric Pattern tests to the Color Reproduction test (and everything in between)।
The Viewsonic VA1926w breezed through the screen geometry and distortion, sharpness and resolution, and screen pixel resolution test quite easily.
It delivers sharp pictures and great color reproduction without any bleeding or streaking of colors. The brightness and contrast levels were pretty good as well. But, as with almost all monitors, the VA1926w too shows a minute amount of mismatch with the red and green bands in the Horizontal Color Registration test.
As far as the OSD buttons are concerned, they're easy to use and let you fine tune certain aspects of the display to the best of your liking. Though, I'm sure the Auto Image Adjust feature will take care of anything an average user can think of.
We watched a few movies and played a multitude of games ranging from Counter Strike to Crysis using the VA1926w. Its 5ms response time ensures that there's no ghosting in games or in movies. Although it isn't as good as the VX, VP, or VG series from Viewsonic; it's great for the average consumer.
Pros:Build, Supports both DVI-D and D-Sub (VGA) input ports, Good picture quality, Contrast and color reproduction.
Cons:No bundled DVI-D cable, Mismatch in HCR test.
Verdict:
The Viewsonic VA1926w is available for Rs. 8,900(Delhi) with a 3-year warranty. For this price, it's a really good deal, but if you want something that gives a higher resolution and a faster response time along with a bundled DVI-D cable, spend 1500 bucks more and get yourself the VX1940w.
Its available even more cheaper in Chennai...
I have just posted the concluding part of the review to be specific about its results..,
