Using ZoomIt 1.0 to draw free-hand on the Vega’s desktop screen

Posted in UMPC's soft on July 24, 2007 by banpaca
Sometimes, software upgrade is NOT "Good News" to someone like me.

To use pen input for drawing or writing free-hand on the Vega’s desktop screen in various colors, "Zoomit" is the choice, an awesome utility by Mark Russinovich . [See screenshot above]

It might take a minute to get used to the ZoomIt Options and hotkeys but once you master that, it’s fun all the way. Try this sequence – Ctrl+1 (to zoom the screen), Ctrl+2 (to change the mouse into a screen pen), and finally move the pen pointer across the screen and see the magic. If Zoomit has been updated to V1.52, you can also press "r" to change pen color to red ink (b for blue, g for green, y for yellow).  


Zoomit 1.0 offers customizable Pen Color, and erase with escape, not by pressing "E"( impossible task for Vega). Since Vega without a hard-keyboard, version 1.0 is the only one.

But Google, Yahoo and Live Search returned no result for "Zoomit 1.0" because it’s no longer available. Now it’s a little hard to find the old version 1.0 of Zoomit.  

ZoomIt v1.52: The only way to Change the Pen Color is KEYBOARD INPUT.

ZoomIt v1.15: From this upgrade, erase by perssing KEY "E", not escape.

What’s the Best Video Player for Raon Vega? ( RealMedia volume)

Posted in UMPC's soft on July 22, 2007 by banpaca
Vega does need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia ( RMVB, rm ), low on systems resource and no synchronization problems.
 
I would recommend it, The KM Player~~~


FREE. Plays almost all video codecs, and has loads of plugins that enhance the video so much.. Very easy to use and has many features that are actually useful. It handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots. The KM Player to play RMVB is the best choice. Supports Incomplete/Damaged AVI file.


Audio wise, it’s just as great, lots of plugins in enhance the audio, 3 types of EQ systems, each with lots of presets, and easy to manage and navigate menus. It’s an all in one for me, plus it does not suck up memory. While playing a movie, The KM Player is only at 22k.

Highly recommended.

BTW,
1. ZoomPlayer to play RMVB is another choice, but it drops frames and have audio synch problems. >_<
2. For those player, none of them play DVDs as well as PowerDVD or WinDVD.

UK 18 year old offers her virginity for £10,000

Baby-faced
Carys Copestake, 18, has offered her virginity for the price of £10,000 to help her pay for university tuitions.

The British 18 year old used a false name to advertise herself on a website popular with prostitutes, with her parents having no idea of the bizarre way of getting cash for university.

The ad reads: "Virginity For Sale £10,000," she adds:

"Hey, I think the title says it all. I’m an 18-year-old virgin with student funds to pay and I’m looking to sell my first time right here. I’m brunette, 34C, green eyes, all in proportion and good looking."

The young woman, who still lives with her parents, is one of thousands of students who are struggling to afford the £20,000 fees which cover tuition and accommodation.

She told a journalist: "For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to keep my first time special and wait for the right guy. I’m not like other girls who want rid of it from the word go.

"I’m getting curious about myself and the opposite sex. I want to explore and I want someone to teach me.

"I’ve also found myself in a financial situation where I need to fundmy studies. I figured this could be killing two birds with one stone.

"I get lots of guys wanting to help me out with my ‘problem’ – some replies are really creepy. But I got so frustrated with the empty offers that I turned them down."

She explained: "I have to be careful, you could have been someone I know, even one of my teachers."

After we asked for proof of her age, she showed her provisional driving licence and joked: "I’m shocked you think I’m so young."

She explained she was due to start a four-year physics course at Salford University in September.

She admitted doing nothing more than holding hands with a guy – and didn’t want to go to university a virgin.

"Why do you want a discount?"

Asked how she wanted to be paid, the greedy teen replied: "Cash would be perfect but what does £10,000 look like? I don’t want to wander round with that much money in case I get robbed." But she got angry when our man asked if she was a prostitute and lying about losing her innocence.

 

"I don’t know how to prove to you that I’m a virgin. You’ll have to trust me."
Asked how she imagined how she’d lose her virginity, she said: "Maybe we can have a meal, relax, and go back to your hotel. I hope you don’t feel offended, but do you mind wearing a condom? That’s one thing I’m worried about."

After our man left, she bombarded him with texts saying: "I’m really excited. Why don’t we meet at mine and stay till six? That way I’m not telling so many lies to my family."

But her mood changed when our reporter asked for a lower price. She said: "Why do you want a discount? No, seriously, it’s got to be ten, that’s what the deal was."

When The People asked about her plans to sell her virginity, Carys said: "I’ve been offered the money in cash and I’m going to do it this Thursday. Sorry I’m at work so I can’t speak any more."

GMA950 VS GeForce Go 7400

Posted in UMPC on July 13, 2007 by banpaca
The Samsung Q1 Ultra, as we know, graphics are powered by Intel’s integrated GMA950(dynamic video memory Max 128 MB). Let’s see an evaluation of GMA950’s 3D performance by DigitalARENA, Nikkei Business.

Free Benchmark software: Vana’diel Bench3, 3DMark05 BASIC, 3DMark06 BASIC
Benchmark Test: 3DMark05          — Game Test1~3, CPU Test
                       3DMark06          — Game Test 1/2, HDR/SM3.0 Test 1/2, CPU Test1/2
                       Vana’diel Bench3 — HIGH Mode

Q1Ultra. Vega. Q1. eov7110 in numbers

Big expectations are usually the cause of big frustrations, and if you don’t think so, go back a year and remember the unusual marketing campaign of Microsoft for the UMPC aka Origami devices. When the press found that Hallo was not going to work in these devices they started to categorize them as weak machines and the next big Microsoft Fiasco.
Now I see a lot of expectations around the Samsung Q1 Ultra and I’m afraid that we are going to see the same amount of frustration in a lot of users willing to pay for this device. And this is why, the next picture shows the scores of CrystalMark ran in a Samsung Q1 Ultra using the Intel new processor A110 at 800MHz.
 
2007-05-02_144516_download1
A Total Score of 13112, remember this number because we are going to need it later.
At home I have at this moment 3 UMPCs with 3 different processors: Samsung Q1 using a Intel Celeron at 900 MHz, a TabletKiosk eo v7110 using a VIA C7 at 1GHz and a Vega using a AMD Geodo at 500 MHz. The first two UMPC with 1 GB of RAM while Vega has only 256 MB. I ran the same benchmark tool in these 3 machines and here are the results.
Vega
Vega
 
10060 Total Score. Play attention to the last 3 tests that are graphic tests. Vega has better results in 2 of them. And that’s the feeling I have when I use the Vega, the performance of 2D graphics is in this device extremely good. The Ultra perform better in the CPU tests and memory, but in this last one you have to keep in mind that the Vega has only 256 MB of RAM. So Vega is 1000 point short in this benchmark just because of the RAM.
TabletKiosk eo v7110
eo
 
14002! But do not run into quick conclusions. This eo is not the regular eo, this eo is using a HDD at 7200 RPM and this increases the Total Score in around 2200 points. So if we want to be fair we should or could take from these 14002 that amount and we will end with a Total Score of 11802. But even with this adjustment the eo v7110 is very close to the Q1 Ultra Score. The eo has a extremely low score in the 3D Graphics test.
Q1 Celeron
Q1
 
Total Score of 17056. The Intel Celeron performs a little bit better than the new A110. Probably the A110 will have a better battery life but at this moment I have not found any tests that could prove that. In the 3 Graphics Tests the Q1 performs better in this benchmark than the Q1U. Is this a mistake? Lets check this other screen shot taken in that same Q1U.
 
2007-05-02_144533_download
And here is the same screen shot just taken from my Samsung Q1 with Vista installed.
 
Capture
As you can see from these two last screen shot, Vista also finds that the Celeron Processor is faster than the A110. Also, it’s interesting to see how the Aero Graphics tests shows that the 945 gets a 2.0 while the 915 used in my Q1 gets a 1.9, so, is it real that we can’t run Aero in our devices? We know for fact that in the earlier beta of Vista, beta testers used Aero in their machines with the 915 graphic chip. In the Graphics department the Q1U has a better Vista Score in the test relative with Game performance, and thanks to this better score the Vista Score in the Q1U is higher. But in the real life where 3D graphics are not used that much both machines will perform at the same level.
Conclusion
From all these tests and scores I can conclude that the overall performance of the Q1U will be about the same or a little bit better in a few tasks than the one we see in current Q1 and Q1p. The Q1U is not that fast ultra powerful machine that many have imagined. And I do not think that this was the idea behind the Q1U design. The idea behind using the A110 in the Q1 is or was in my opinion to get the Aero running in a UMPC and at the same time keep the battery life the same or higher and to do that they had to create a weaker processor. And that’s what the A110 processor is, a weaker processor with a better graphic chip to keep the power consumption low. But not that low. I’m not expecting to see in the Q1U 5 hours of battery life using the original battery. We are not that good yet.
 

Foxconn, Ipod’s sweatshop employees are forced to wear mourning clothes for boss’s brother, in China

Posted in Others on July 10, 2007 by banpaca

Foxconn’s Executive VP, Taiwanese Tony Gou died on July 4, 2007, in Beijing Dao-Pei Hospital.

In northern China, Foxconn’s employees were demanded that perform a health examination for Tony Gou’s bone marrow transplantation.
( 『Is Apple the new Nike?』 by Stephen Frost, www.csr-asia.com
Foxconn also requests workers to have an examination of their bone marrow, since a family member of one manager has leukemia. Ms He confirmed that the company did in fact request the examination.

See CSR Asia Weekly Vol.2 Week 25.pub or [PDF] Case study: the Apple iPod in China

In south China, Foxconn’s Longhua factory, Shenzhen city, most of the employees, over 30,000 people, were forced to stand in line several hours to enter the ceremony area, and bows head three times in acknowledgment of Gou’s devotion. Each section NEEDs to send employees out to pray all night for his soul. The company also demanded that all employees are not prohibited to wear red/yellow/pink clothes after July 5; any Red Marks must be cleared, and not allowed to make a noise or even smile in dining halls.

“The same thing had happened in the past, on the death of Foxconn boss’s wife,” said Hou, an employee of Foxconn’s Longhua factory. At the time, because all dining halls were closed, close to 20,000 workers HAD to go out to eat somewhere after working overtime and having to stand for 12 hours.

Someone adds such a comment: “If you are dissatisfied you guys can wear red pants~~~”
