Sound Blaster Easy Record

To digitize the tape or your favorite radio broadcasts, we usually rely on a PC sound card. However, since the sound card only has a 3.5 mm port, we can not record from other audio devices.

Therefore, in the end there is plug the USB cable to connect to the computer. While at the other end, there were 3.5-mm audio connector and a set of RCA connectors (which is usually used in a DVD player or a turntable). But we can not use the audio RCA 3.5 mm and at the same time that the tape did not collide.

Because the USB-based, the installation process was easy. If you just want to record sound, we live plug this device into the computer. But if you want to do further editing process, Creative provides a special software called MediaSource. But unfortunately, the Easy Record not included features such audio quality X-Fi technology. Consequently, the results depend on the quality of recording the sound source itself.

At present, the music is still stored in analog format would have been rare. Therefore, the existence of Easy Record Sound Blaster is indeed more to digitize music remains still stored in analog format. His own record quality depends on the quality of the tape and pemutarnya, though Creative is promising to improve the quality compared to ordinary sound card.

AIM AS301 Tube Delight Audio

In computer markets, you can find a variety of sound cards. But something different this time present in InfoKomputer Lab. These products form an external sound card that has a shape rather unusual. External sound card is not something new. These devices generally have a size of an optical drive and take advantage of the use of USB ports in operation. But AIM AS301 has a fairly unique form as an external sound card.

Tube label disandangnya Delight which is not without cause. AIM AS301 design similar to conventional vacuum tubes commonly used in home audio systems (home audio), complete with glowing blue lights when in use.

Axioo IntelliPen

With the emergence of a variety of digital devices, we may have rarely written hand. Understandably, more flexible digital format. Besides easily corrected, written or digital format images are also more easily duplicated than handwriting. However, in some cases, we may still need (or just missed) incised ideas through writing.  

Now, Toshiba is practically Intellipen bridge between the world of digital writing and hand. This device serves to detect hand movements that made you write in a paper can be stored digitally. So you may as well hand-written version of the digital version.

To do this, there are two main components Axioo IntelliPen. The first is the Digital Pen which is basically a pen that emit blue ink. But unlike ordinary pens, digital pen has a sensor in the eyes of the pen that will emit a wave of transmission every time the eyes of the pen is pressed. Wave transmission is then captured by a second component, namely elliptical receiver weighs about 64 grams.

 How it works Intellipen like this. When you want to write or draw, place a sheet of plain paper on the mat cardboard, plywood, or other hard little sheet. After that, pins and pads of paper with a brace in the receiver. This receiver itself can be placed on the top, side, or under cardboard. After that, you just write / draw on sheets of paper and Intellipen will detect movement of the pen. As a result, what you are writing or drawing on paper will be stored in the receiver exactly as Intellipen a digital file.

Receiver itself actually has an internal memory with a USB connection. When one side of his elliptical opening, will see the USB head. If you want to see graffiti, you just plug the USB head into the port on your PC. Later, will appear PenInk Viewer software that supports Windows operating system, Linux, or Mac.

As the name suggests, just PenkInk Viewer function for viewing or to see the results of graffiti. But the point streaks apala hand if you can not be edited anymore. Therefore, you must install the software MyScript Notes. This software converts handwriting function into a text that can be edited. The results of these conversions will be exported to Word or Notepad.

But here we meet trouble. MyScript Notes did not know the word in Indonesian. Language Britain, Japan, Spain, China, or Korea's there, but not for the Indonesian language. As a result, every word we write diintepretasikan as words in English (which we had to choose). So when we write "InfoKomputer is coolest magazine in Indonesia", this software to translate as "Into Her KOMP Kirk a material data events in Indonesia". As you can see, this software interpret the word Indonesia into words in English (into, data, materials, and events).

According to Terra as a distributor of Toshiba Computer Intellipen, this problem will be solved over time when MyScript Notes was used by Indonesian words that we write. We do not have enough time to give "lessons" to the software, but the Terra MyScript could show how Notes can translate the word "Branch Ambassador" and the names of Indonesian-style perfectly.

Axioo concepts Intellipen somewhat interesting because it offers a bridge between the world of digital graffiti and hand. However, given the end result Intellipen basically the same as we scan the handwriting with ordinary scanner. The difference is just a matter of real-time or not. So Axioo Intellipen more suitable for you who want to quickly move the handwritten to digital format.

 

USB based
When you open a elipsnya side, will look a USB connector. Toshiba also provides extension cord if the ellipse is difficult when plugged into a computer.

 

 

Ideal Position
Here's the receiver's position while on duty. We stayed at the pins and pads of paper that has a hard surface. This receiver position can be on top, side, or bottom.

 

 

 

Accurate
If you've used, MyScript Notes can recognize handwriting-based Indonesian language. But it takes time.

OCZ XTC Cooler 2

Cooling module is now not solely intended for the processor or graphics cards. Along with the development of technology, also featured a special cooling for the RAM. RAM today, especially the type of DDR2 and DDR3, sometimes on the overclock for improved performance. If not given adequate circulation, could result in system sulking or even shorten the age of RAM. Cooling solution like XTC Cooler OCZ 2 of this is a good thing.

Physical XTC Cooler 2 put 2 small fans used to be planted in VGA with the direction of plate composition almuniumnya lined. This plate has a leg brace that can be associated with exactly the memory slot for DDR2 or DDR3 becomes steadily mounting that cooler air breathed directly into the memory in the heat. If necessary, turn the fan speed can be accelerated by changing the switch from the L level (low - low) to H (high - high). Its cool, translucent fan is equipped with blue LEDs that make it attractive when lit.

***

Our experiments prove the use of XTC Cooler 2 RAM is effectively cooled by heat disturbing. Recorded temperature drops 1-2 degrees Celsius lower, even if 3 degrees of fan rotation is increased (H). Wearing a fan like this are clearly important for the age memerpanjang RAM and reduce the risk to the system as a whole. Modding memorable model can also beautify the appearance in the casing used.
