VLC Media Player 200% Volume Control

The latest version of the VLC media player has an interesting feature which allows the volume to be adjusted/amplified up to 200% mark.
This works best for laptop, notebook, tablet PC and netbook users who watch videos on their laptops using the built in speakers.
The popular open source multi-platform media player VLC will let you increase volume up to 200%, if you are using the volume slider. This applies even if you are increasing the volume by placing the cursor above the volume bar and using a scroll wheel or a touch pad to control volume output. But there are comments by some that the 100% is actually a gimmick! Some users claimed that they get the same volume at VLC 100% as they get for Winamp 50%

Nintendo Wii Announces Price Drop to $200

Finally Nintendo gave in to the dropping sales figures of the world's best selling gmaing console. Now, you can get the Nintendo Wii for $50 less at a very tempting price of $200. In parallel with the price drops announced by Sony for its Playstation 3, this piece of news hardly came as a surprise. Please bear in mind that Nintendo was doing exceptionally well for being the top seller, outselling Mircosoft's XBOX 360 and Sony's Playstation 3 without a single price drop until today.
Positively, this price drop announcement will definitely revive its flagging sales and get more people to own a Nintendo Wii, a revolutionary family-friendly gaming console which has garnered popularity across the globe. The 20% price drop on the Wii, which features a motion-sensor remote, will take effect Sept 27 2009.

Kensington Universal Travel Adapter with USB

It has been 4 years since I purchased the Kensington universal travel adapter from Amazon.com and I am glad that it has survived all the international travelling and sockets over the years. For $29.99, it performed to its expectations and standards. Now, with so many electrical devices offering USB charge support, I am tempted to get myself another universal travel adapter from Kensington - a newer version with a female USB port. This would allow me to plug in the general USB cable and charge my electrical devices from the power outlet around the world - extremely convenient. I see many other generic universal USB adapters on sale for cheap, but it'd be a great advantage to have the USB function incorporated into this universal travel adapter. However, there are some negative reviews posted on Amazon.com about how it failed to charge their USB devices. Now I wonder.

Sony PS3 Slim Officially Announced - Get It for $299 September 1 2009

Sony officially announced the PS3 Slim, well long after the leaked pictures made it to the world wide web. And now, everyone is happy with the latest price tag. Sony PS3is the costliest gaming console in the market compared to the XBOX 360 and Nintendo Wii. Now, Sony has decided to bring down the price to a much affordable $299. Rejoice PlayStation fans, it's time to finally own one if you haven't. The new PS3 slim is actually by design 33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter, and comes with a 120GB hard drive. Sony redesigned the internal architecture of the new PS3 system in order to meet the new more compact form factor. This is about the same as what Sony did to the previous generation PlayStation, the PS2. The PS3 Slim is powered by a new 45nm version of the Cell processor which runs at the same speed as the 60nm processor in the "old" PS3, but is smaller and more energy-efficient. According to company reps, power consumption for the PS3 Slim has also been cut to two-thirds, "helping to reduce fan noise".





One element which changed against my liking is that the surface of the PS3 Slim is matte as compared to the classy looking shiny piano black finish of the PS3. Also, the "PLAYSTATION 3" words are no longer written across the top, replaced by "PS3". The Sony PlayStation 3 Slim is available for pre-orders from Amazon.com.

Apple Tablet Rumors: 2011 Launch

We might be looking at a possibility of a tablet notebook from Apple early next year. Rumor has it that the Apple Tablet, which has gone through many setbacks in its 4 years of development, is finally ready to meet its fanboys and give PC another nudge. Judging from the success of Apple in getting the Multitouch technology into such a commanding market achievement, high expectations are in place for this much awaited Apple Tablet. It can succeed where Microsoft couldn't. It could boost the tablet laptop market towards further improvements, we strongly believe. The Apple Tablet may come with 10 inch screen (most probably LED-backlighted) and 3G feature. And things will just get more interesting as we go.

Need Work, Free Resumes

I saw this piece of photo over at Yahoo! news this morning and it reminds me once again that some of us are really down deep in the whole recession thing. Many graduates are finding it hard to get a good job which matches their interest, what more to say one which pays them well. Besides that, the number of paid internships have been reduced except those of big corporations. One guy resorted to distributing his resumes at the roadside. Think on the bright side, this chap is making efforts to push himself into the market and give him credits for the creativity and willingness. Let's hope for the best for all of us.
