TechNews - Downgrading from Windows 8 to 7 - tech

  • Real Life Holodeck - An 18-node visualization cluster provides the rendering backbone for the Reality Deck facility. Each node features dual Intel Xeon CPUs, each with 6 cores, as well as 48 GB of RAM and 1 TB of local storage. The nodes are interconnected over Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet. Every machine contains 4 AMD Firepro V9800 GPUs that can drive up to 6 monitors at their native resolution. Effectively, each cluster node can drive up to 24 monitors for almost 90 megapixels of visual space. 
  • Dell E2213H 21.5-Inch Full HD Monitor Tested - Dell has released yet another Full HD monitor 'E2213H' into the market. Aimed at business users, this new 21.5-inch LED-backlight monitor (TN panel) provides 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness, 5ms response time and 170/160 degree viewing angles, and features DVI-D and mini D-Sub connectors.
  • BFS-Auto: High Speed Book Scanner at over 250 pages/min - BFS-Auto can achieve high-speed and high-definition book digitization at over 250 pages/min using the original media format. This performance is realized by three key points: high-speed fully-automated page flipping, real-time 3D recognition of the flipped pages, and high-accuracy restoration to a flat document image. This system is toward the practical use in 2013. 
  • New teardown reveals more specs for the Nintendo Wii U - There are four 4Gb (512MB) Hynix DDR3-1600 devices surrounding the Wii U's MCM (Multi Chip Module). Memory is shared between the CPU and GPU, and if I'm decoding the DRAM part numbers correctly it looks like these are 16-bit devices giving the Wii U a total of 12.8GB/s of peak memory bandwidth. These values may not seem very impressive, especially when compared to the memory speeds of an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.
  • Downgrading from Windows 8 to 7: What you need to know - The good news is you can buy a PC loaded with Windows 8 Pro, try out the new OS, and then downgrade to Windows 7. Unfortunately, however, the road back to Windows 7 can be confusing and full of twists. Hewlett-Packard is typical: It does not support downgrades of consumer-grade Windows 8 PCs to Windows 7. But if you buy a machine loaded with Windows 8 Pro, you can make the jump. HP's policy is based on Microsoft's licensing terms, which support downgrade rights only to new PCs preloaded with Windows 8 Pro, the version of Windows designed for business.  Unfortunately, machines loaded with Windows 8 Pro will demand a pricing premium over similarly spec'd Windows 8 systems - an upgrade to the Pro version of Windows 8 increases system prices anywhere between $35 and $100.
  • Microsoft commits to Surface with Windows RT for at least four years - Although Windows RT was officially released nearly a month ago on Microsoft's Surface and on a handful of PCs from its OEM partners, Microsoft has been quiet about its support policy for RT. Now, the mystery is partly resolved. In an update to its support lifecycle page, Microsoft has officially declared that it will support its initial Surface release for four years. That is, not coincidentally, long enough for a determined undergraduate to get through a conventional university degree program. Normally, Microsoft supports consumer and business versions of Windows for five years (the so-called mainstream support phase) with business versions getting an additional five years of extended support. Because Surface with Windows RT is a hardware-software combo, it plays by a different set of rules, apparently. Microsoft has decreed that its Mainstream Support End Date will be April 11, 2017, which is nearly 4-1/2 years after the product's initial release date. Because this device is considered a consumer device, there's no Extended Support End Date. That means that anyone who buys a Surface with Windows RT can expect security fixes and other updates to Windows RT and the included Office Home and Student 2013 software until at least April 2017. And there's ample precedent for Microsoft to extend that end date. 
  • Mozilla Stops Firefox 64-bit Development - Mozilla's engineering manager has requested that developers stop work on Windows 64-bit builds of Firefox.
  • Spybot - Search & Destroy Gets a Major Update- Spybot is probably the most popular free spyware detector and malware remover in the world. According to the Irish company, "The software has been completely rewritten and now has a new user interface as well as improvements in functionality and performance." 
  • Police Raid 9-Year-Old Pirate Bay Girl - An anti-piracy company has found itself in the middle of a huge controversy. CIAPC, the company that had The Pirate Bay blocked by ISPs in Finland, tracked an alleged file-sharer and demanded a cash settlement. However, the Internet account holder refused to pay which escalated things to an unprecedented level. In response, this week police raided the home of the 9-year-old suspect and confiscated her Winnie the Pooh laptop. 
  • CALTECH breaks data transfer record at 339 Gbps - Physicists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) say they have achieved an astounding data-transfer speed of 339 gigabits per second, which is equivalent to 1 million 2 hour movies per day
  • Cell Service to Expand to 30 NYC Subway Stations Next Year - Transit Wireless announced that it will increase the availability of underground cellular service to a total of 30 New York City subway stations by the end of the first quarter of 2013. Some of the new stations set to receive wireless access include Times Square, Columbus Circle, and Rockefeller Center, all of which are major hubs in New York. So far, AT&T and T-Mobile USA have agreed to the expansion, though Transit Wireless is still holding discussions with Sprint and Verizon Wireless. Transit Wireless has provided service in six underground stations since late 2011. It says progress on the 30-station build out was delayed by the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Transit plans to eventually cover all 277 subway stations throughout New York City with wireless service. 
  • Windows Phone 7.8 and the Nokia Lumia 510 demonstrated -  Here's a new video, presumably from Winp.cn, shows the current build of Windows Phone 7.8 (8858) in action. Actually, it’s less action and more of a nice, soothing stroll on some of the more superficial changes coming in the OS update. The new tiles are shown off and we even see the Bing lockscreen wallpaper working (we’re hoping that third-party apps can take advantage of it too like in Windows Phone 8).
  • Blackberry 10 Revealed in Demo Video - Blackberry 10 is expected to come January 30th if all goes according to plan. Devices sporting the new OS will be expected to follow just weeks after.

  • LADY GAGA XX TERRY RICHARDSON - Lady Gaga's southern hip hop song 'Cake' dropped back in september and it is some horrible drugged out weirdness...that I don't think anyone really cared about because Gaga has fallen off but more importantly has done all she can to get noticed. But I guess when everyone falls off even when they are still ridiculously famous they do the natural thing to get noticed and that's a fucking twerk video - half naked -in the shower - while on tour and I'm not complaining because as much I find Lady Gaga annoying I love seeing girls of all shapes and sizes dance in their underwear for attention even if it is desperation - it's still worth watching.

1920x1080 is useless; won't buy anything less than 1920x1200.

More important to me is 5ms response time. Bleccckk!!! 2ms and no higher for me. I wouldn't touch a Dell anyhow.

I don't play much FPS - there are only a few that I like (Prototype, Borderlands, Dishonored) - and those are quite good with 4ms.
IMHO, it gets bad around 6+ms.
Though everyone's perception is different. Maybe it's just my eyes getting old...

gx-x(10:12 PM CET - Nov,26 2012 )
the thing is, 5ms ips is faster then 2ms TN due to that ISO rating being for blac to black or GtG only, while Blue to Blue on TN is over 20ms and less then 15ms on ips. So, on average and overall, IPS is more responsive. You can research it yourselves.

also, 1920x1200...only professional leftovers like dell 2410 and one budget dell (2412M) are left with 16:10. I doubt anyone will be making entry or mid range monitors with 16:10 aspect anymore since panel makers like LG, samsung etc. is not producing them any longer because it would require a standalone production line. You will find 30" models, but not cheap, far from it.

Csimbi(03:29 AM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
I don't mind the price; I paid premium for this one at the time as well.
Was a very good investment.
30inch is a bit too large though.

Baconnaise(06:30 AM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
I picked up a couple hanns g 28" 16:10 monitors last year. You're right though the cheaper e-ips and ips panels are usually better than TN panels but you have to read the spec sheets to see what the response time is for specifically. Flat panels are finally catching up to CRT's in that regard.

1900x1200 and 16:10 is all I go for for a monitor. The 16x9 crap being shoveled is largely due to the TV market and decent monitors are hard to come by especially in the $500 or less range.

I'm not sure what you're on about with Dell but they've come out with top quality monitors for years. Things may have changed but the e-ips/ips offerings are still fairly decent. I still own my dell 2405fpw which has around 10+ different inputs (minus hdmi as it was a spec at the time) and it's still running. The stand is top quality and heavy. It articulates any which way you can dream and had the one of the best panels made at the time. They sold this thing on sales for under five hundred for a 24" which was a huge deal years ago. It still trumps most of what I have that's years newer. Pretty sure I bought it around 2005 or 2006 which means it's six going on seven years old. Still runs fine and plays games fine.

-=WolverinE=-(06:31 AM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
I currently own Dell U2312HM and it's a great budget monitor. Good colors after calibration and low response time for an e-IPS. Don't forget that all TN panels have an input lag, so you need to add it to the average response time. There is no real 2ms TN out there and the best one is 5ms (average response time + input lag).

Dell are still great when it comes to monitors. They have a new range recently released with a glass in front of the LCD, which makes the colors even better, while mine is matte.

I am not "about" anything :) My last 3 monitors were Dell. I am just saying that e-ips class from dell cannot be compared with h-ips or sh-ips (s-ips is still more common name although even h-ips is better in many regards then old s-ips). What you need to know is who makes panels and what is implemented into which monitor by a specific brand. Samsung uses their VA that they manufacture. AS of late they will be switching to PLS. LG.Phillips is making IPS panels that are used by Dell, LG, Apple (in some cinema display lines) and so on.

Since there is a specific way in which LCD panels/films are produced, it is not cost efficient to produce both 16:9 and 16:10 and 16:9 is more cost efficient and more appealing to the market since it cheaper. E-IPS panels are actually worse now then they were before (my odl dell 2209WA had wider gamut, better response time, etc then my 2312hm has, and they are both e-ips)
So, for 16:10, let's say next year, you will have to look hard. I just tend to think (comfort myself) that 23" 16:9 is just a wider 22". Althou i would gladly go back to 2209WA (it can do 76Hz I shit you not, I used it from day one and it works) but they are no longer being produced. 2412M 16:10 is too (was) costly for me (sorry, I am kinda low on cash all the time :P ) and is not any better (% here and there) then 2312hm. It will also go EOL soon btw. U2410 is great monitor for work but has crappy response and costs way too much + I am yet to see a bug free one (none has a uniform color reproduction, there are only ones with less or more noticeable color shifts) and for 300 euros it's kinda let down.

To be honest, what I am looking at right now are Dells with AMVA panels. Epic depth of black, better then PLS, somewhere near super amoled (no joke!), mindblowing contrast ratio to go with it (no, not dynamic) and 2ms response with no input lag. Viewing angles are good. Not like IPS, but better then PVA (most sony and samusung LCDTVs) and still a mile better then TN.
look for reviews on tftcentral.co.uk

-=WolverinE=-(12:47 PM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
gx-x, there are rumors for a Dell IPS 120Hz monitor as well. If it turns out to be a AMVA, then the epic monitor will be legendary. ;)

gx-x(03:59 PM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
I heard, and quite frankly it's only a matter of time. Personally, I think monitors are to small for 3D. To me it's just a gimmick. :S

-=WolverinE=-(06:26 PM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
I don't really care about 3D, but 120Hz is great for gaming.

gx-x(06:52 PM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
should be better response and less ghosting. Not two times better then 60hz but more like ~20-30% better but that comes with a price.

Csimbi(07:45 PM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
The reason I don't mind investing in a good monitor is because it's great for your eyes.
You're going to be staring at it most of the time, so it's better be good.
Let's hope that rumored Dell comes in 16:10 - I might pick up even two of them.

there is no benefit to staring into IPS/PLS/VA as opposed to staring into cheap TN. It's the same liquid crystal display technology, each one with it's own twist, but essentially there are no differences on the eye strain. It's 2013 almost, we are way way past CRT tubes that vibrate and oscilate at 56Hz and bombard us with radiation. Paying more at this moment yields you more features, better pictures, better colors but those do not affect your health or should I say - eye care. :) As long as you are not straining your eyes you are fine. That said, reading an e-book on a 3,4 or 5" Phone/tablet DOES strain your eyes and WILL hurt them. super amoled super expensive screens do not help, only a bigger screen does.
So I'd say that full hd 30" LCDTV is better for your eyes then 30" 2000$ monitor. Why? Well, you are not going to sit an arm length away from 30" TV will you? Also, 2560 resolution is going to make you stare at little letters, small text etc. something like 21.5" full hd monitor will. And in that case paying premium is not giving you any eye care benefits AT ALL! ;)

Csimbi(09:27 PM CET - Nov,27 2012 )
gx-x> So I'd say that full hd 30" LCDTV is better for your eyes then 30" 2000$ monitor.
Both are 30 inch. One at 1920*1080, the other (hopefully) at 1920*1200. How can one be better than the other?

because you will most likely sit further away from TV, and closer to the monitor which is NOT full HD but rather 2560x1600 for instance http://www.anandtech.com/show/4070/dell-u3011-review-dells-new-30-inch-flagship
