Xbox 360 owners with Xbox Live to receive free dashboard update

TORONTO — The Xbox 360 is getting a free facelift Wednesday, with a new-look interface.

Gamers with an Xbox Live online membership will be able to download what is calling the "New Xbox Experience" as of 5 a.m. ET. Essentially it’s a sleeker console menu that allows 360 owners to customize their own avatar instead of using the existing basic gamer tag or handle, interact with their friends more easily, and get simplified access to downloadable material.

Craig Flannagan, Xbox Canada’s platform group manager, sees the new interface as "a more simple, fun, intuitive way to navigate around the console. And a more personalized experience."

source { http://www.google.com }

XBox 360 owners will see their high-def gaming systems in a whole new way when an updated user interface rolls out tomorrow, allowing access to Netflix streaming and a variety of other features.

The new interface is the most drastic update to the system’s visual presentation since its debut. In addition to swapping the current "blade" presentation for a system of rotating windows, other features include customizable avatars, enhanced community interaction features, and for Gold Members, the long awaited ability to stream Netflix content.

My New WordPress Blog

I have already setup my New WordPress Blog. It will be having the same name as this blog. I have decided not to transfer this blog contents to my newly installed blog since this blog is already pulling some adsense money from the Visitors from the search Engine. I will make new post at my new blog.

I will be posting at this blog on a weekly basis. And I will post at my new Technology Blog Everyday as much as possible. I am new in that Is why I am still on the study phase of making such blog. I don’t know if it is possible to redirect my visitors from this blog to my new blog.

And this blog has a very good position at Technorati.com.

So watch out for a weekly round up on this blog.

Digg.com welcomes Microsoft Ads and says Goodbye to Google

It was that Digg.com will not use Advertisement and instead will use Advertisement.

Microsoft Corp. announced online advertising deals Wednesday with Digg.com and video-game publisher Electronic Arts, seeking to further establish itself in an area of the tech industry dominated by its rivals.

The agreements came in advance of Microsoft’s annual conference with financial analysts Thursday in Redmond — where one of the company’s challenges will be convincing analysts that it can come from behind in online search and advertising.

Microsoft will replace Google’s ad system on the Digg site. Google, the Internet search leader, posted $3.8 billion in online ad revenue last quarter — seven times more than Microsoft.

The Digg deal will make Microsoft the exclusive provider of display advertising and contextual ads, determined by the contents of the site. It’s similar to an advertising agreement Microsoft struck with social networking site Facebook last year.

Microsoft declined to disclose the financial terms of the Digg deal, but the agreement gives it another high-profile partner in its online ad initiatives.

Digg, which says it attracts more than 17 million unique visitors a month, prioritizes the placement of stories and other content based on user votes, or “diggs,” as it calls them.

Apart from the added revenue, Microsoft says it believes the association with Digg also will Microsoft improve its approach to advertising.

“One of the most exciting parts about this deal is that we get to sit in a conference room with these guys every now and then and brainstorm about how to do a better job of that,” said Adam Sohn, director in Microsoft’s Online Services Group.

Digg is expected to continue working with Federated Media on sponsorships and specialized advertising campaigns.

“This move gives us an advertising partner with a larger organization and a more scalable technology platform to keep pace with Digg’s growth,” wrote Digg founder Kevin Rose in a blog post about the agreement.

Separately, Microsoft announced Wednesday that its Massive in-game advertising subsidiary has struck a deal to put advertisements into five upcoming Electronic Arts games, including “Madden NFL 08″ and “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08,” for Xbox 360 and Windows PCs. These are the kinds of ads that can be updated and changed using the online connection.

It’s not the first EA deal for Massive. The companies started with “Need for Speed Carbon” and later added “Def Jam: Icon.”

Will this affect the Adsense Earner? Will the advertiser will tend to shift from Adsense to Microsoft , and This I do not know. Well we will see the effect of this news may after 1 month or two.

iPhone lack of 3G their disadvantage

Since we are now in a Modern age where everybody has a cellphone we might as well talk about , almost every with  about the iPhone lack of 3G support.

Most of the telephone networks all over the world including , Middle East, USA, Europe and others had spend Million of dollars just to be upgraded in 3G. I thick the lack of 3G Support from iPhone is their disadvantage but rather an advantage to other Telephone Manufacturer like Nokia, Siemens, I-mate, O2 and others.

If I will choose in between my I-mate and iPhone I might as well remain to my since iPhone will not give me an advantage over the latest technology in mobile.

Review HP Scanjet 5590 Digital Flatbed Scanner (L1910A)

I have been using Primo PDF in converting any documents into PDF and it works really great but for my hard copy scanning I use my Scanjet 5590 Scanner.  

What is my HP Scanjet 5590 Scanner Specification?

A flatbed scanner with document feeder with

with it’s Task speed – Less than 24 sec: 4 x 6-in color photo into ; less than 36 sec: OCR a full page of text into ; less than 18 sec: e-mail photo

What is My experience using this Machine?

I may say that this scanner is really good. It has a feature of having a scan output with Microsoft Word and PDF. Although I am not yet successful in scanning Documents with pictures into Microsoft Word. What I mean is having a very good result that all pictures and text is in order after scanning.

If I am scanning about 30 pages I prefer to scan it as picture and not having and editable Text.

The scanner is using its own program called HP Director. The HP Director will ask you on what type of document will you scan and what will be the resulting documents after scan. It is either PDF or Microsoft Word.

You could scan Camera Films using this machine.

The document feeder works great when scanning multiple pages.

A also like it’s one touch button to scan for filing, Scan Picture,Scan to email and scan to PDF.

Do I have any Problems encountered?

It is very slow if you will scanned a text documents by using OCR. Aside from the problem mentioned there is nothing to share.

Conclusion

I suggest you to buy this scanner if you are planning to buy one. A good investment.

Say the Time

It is always my problem on rearranging my time, Doing lots of meeting and commitments inside and outside the office and open times there are some meeting and To do Notes missed. Although I am using my for those purpose sometime I am still missing it.

So perhaps a reminder on my Desktop which occupies my time almost 8 to 12 hours a day will be the next good thing to have.

I have been very busy this past few days that is why I was not able to blog often and thanks to talking atomic alarm clock which is one of my to manage my time.

I have outlook which have that same features but still the skin of outlook is dull. and with a very limited features. Not unlike talking atomic alarm clock you can have different skins. While Say the Time is installed at my computer I can easily see the Time and date at right corner of my screen.

The interface on its setting is very easy that a novice could easily understand on how the program works. And since I am dealing with International contact knowing the time on their place is an advantage for me.  That is why the world time Clock feature on of the feature which will be very helpful to the user.

In conclusion having this tool in your computer is a must have feature. Did I tell you that this is a sponsored post? Well It is but as what I have told on the review this is a great tool and I intend to retain this post in the archive.

Converting any Computer Generated Documents into PDF

Most of the time you are being required to make PDF files output of your work. But what if you don’t have an in your computer. An option will be to print it in a printer and they will scan it in a scanner.

I may suggest that a very good for office or at home is the Primo PDF. This is a free software that could be downloaded here . Primo PDF converts any Computer generated documents into a PDF format file.

This tool could also be used in printing file Autocad or any other program. It will serves as your printer but the only difference is it will gives a pdf output.

I am doing this review not because they pay me to do so but as a way of thank you for helping me in doing my job well done.

Below is download.com definition of Primo PDF.

PrimoPDF is a free tool for high-quality PDF creation, comprising a user-friendly interface that enables printing to PDF from virtually any Windows application. Additionally, PrimoPDF provides the ability to optimize PDF output for screen, print, ebook, and prepress, secure PDF files with 40- or 128-bit encryption, and add document information (e.g. title, author, subject, keywords) to converted PDF files. Full support for 64-bit machines, double byte character and non-TrueType font support, enhanced support for Windows 98, ME, NT, and Vista and improved PDF output also now available. Please note that this download is for 32-bit machines only. A 64-bit installer is available at the developer’s Web site.

Version 3.1 introduces the ability to merge and append PDF files.

Comparing speed of converting Word or document to PDF vs Adobe , I will go with Primo as per my experience it is much faster to convert thru Primo rather than from Adobe. I am using Adobe 7.1 Professional.

In Conclusion having this tool is a must to have in your computer. I just hope this tool will my readers. What about you do you have any other program being use for this type of application? Let us know by your comments.
