			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the recent E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) Sony introduced 3DS, its new handheld 3D gaming console to somewhat mixed reviews. Some were saying it doesn&#8217;t have the full 3D effect that can be achieved with the new 3D Televisions which were also displayed at the E3. However, unlike the 3D TVs the 3DS doesn&#8217;t use glasses, which was one of its major selling points for many testing out the new device and one which could make this new gaming console a real contender.</p>
<p>However, the 800 pound gorilla in the room: Can 3D gaming really win over gamers?</p>
<p>Video gamers are a dedicated lot, they like their video gaming to be as realistic and heart-pounding as virtually possible. They want to be totally immersed into a fabricated world that doesn&#8217;t seem fabricated at all, one that draws them into the action so completely that they escape their boring lives. It&#8217;s the excitement stupid.</p>
<p>If new 3D technology can make that world more realistic and more absorbing, then it may just have a slim chance of catching on. The emphasis is on slim because we have seen 3D movies, games, and technologies come and go. This may be why many pundits are countering: It&#8217;s a fad stupid.</p>
<p>However, this time the 3D technology seems more powerful and much more engrossing. We only have to look to the popularity of such recent blockbuster 3D films like Avatar and Alice In Wonderland, to realize if you produce an effective 3D image, they will come. But if 3D is to make it into mainstream media, it can&#8217;t be all dazzle and flash, it must make the viewing experience more realistic.</p>
<p>Just like full HD or High Definition completely changed our enjoyment of viewing movies and TV programs, so too must the new 3D technology be as enjoyable. It must improve that viewing enjoyment so much that anything less than 3D will look incomplete. If viewers and gamers can&#8217;t get the ultimate viewing image or experience without it, then 3D will have a decent chance of becoming the next must-have technology.</p>
<p>We are seeing the introduction of 3D gaming laptops, we already have the ASUS G51J-3D and now the boutique computer maker Origin PC is introducing a customizable 3D laptop called the EON15-3D which uses the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit and active-shutter 3D glasses. Origin PC is a fairly new company started by Kevin Wasielewski, who gamers will also know co-founded Alienware which Dell took over in 2006. It could possibly give 3D some street cred.</p>
<p>We are also seeing the introduction of 3D Television Sets from Sony, Samsung, Panasonic&#8230; among others. We are also seeing the introduction of 3D Blu-ray Players so all systems are set to go for 3D. But will gamers and the general public embrace it like there&#8217;s no tomorrow? One big obstacle seems to be the glasses which are required for most 3D systems, many complain of headaches and nausea when they use them. Besides, many consider them just too uncomfortable to wear, which could turn off more viewers.</p>
<p>Next is the cost of these new 3D systems, they don&#8217;t come cheap. However, for gamers who regularly spend thousands to get the ultimate gaming system, the cost is one they may be willing to pay. Or they may not, the determining factor will be the viewing experience offered up by 3D, if it is a great improvement, then no price is too high.<span id="more-132"></span></p>
<p>Lack of 3D content is only a temporary problem because just as we saw with HD, the marketplace will demand more programs and movies be available in 3D. Before long the majority of content will be produced in 3D as well as in HD, viewers will demand no less.</p>
<p>As for gamers, 3D is the next logical step (many gamers would argue 3D systems have been around for years) in gaming. Gamers demand the fastest graphics, the highest resolution, the best sound and the ultimate performance from their gaming systems and from their games. If 3D can overcome or even survive all the hype, and truly deliver a better gaming experience then most gamers will demand 3D be added to their gaming systems, no matter what form it would take.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Security Tips to Protect Your PC: Spyware Removers</p>
<p>Spyware has become a tremendous problem for many computer users. In fact, spyware removers, also known as spyware blockers, are now essential for keeping computers free of this software that is not only annoying, but malicious. Many computer users believe the only protection they need is a antivirus software program, but even though spyware is a form of malware&#8230; it&#8217;s not a virus so no matter how good an antivirus program is, it will not prevent spyware from being installed on your home PC.</p>
<p>Sometimes called a browser hijacker, spyware is any software program that can harm your computer. Spyware installs itself on your computer via certain website downloads and also by being hidden within websites that you visit. Unlike viruses, spyware does not normally try to damage your computer or the files you have stored on it. Instead, it spies on your on-line activities and finds out the types of programs you have on your PC.</p>
<p>Spyware removers are your most effective defense again spyware. Your system can slow and eventually slow down and, perhaps, crash because of resource-hogging spyware, but removing it can make your computer run like new again.</p>
<p>Spyware is often lumped in with viruses, but spyware and PC viruses are quite different types of software. Spyware tries to steal your private information, while computer viruses aim to corrupt your files simply because the programmers who write them are able to. It&#8217;s like a game with them. Viruses aren&#8217;t intended to spy on you, but they do replicate and spread themselves to other PC&#8217;s on your network through email or applications shared by the computers.</p>
<p>Spyware blockers are applications that prevent spyware from installing itself on your computer, while spyware removal tools remove existing spyware. Both play an important role and should be included in your desktop security software.</p>
<p>Spyware frequently causes sluggish computer performance because it can bloat your system. An effective spyware removal tool will cleanse your computer and remove all the spyware, which will restore your computer to its previous level of performance.</p>
<p>However, the most effective defense for spyware is not letting the spyware to get onto your PC to begin with &#8211; that way you don&#8217;t have to keep removing it. Use a firewall to protect your desktop; it will act as a spyware blocker – that is, if you don’t voluntarily download a hidden application. To gain additional security, you should also download and use a good anti-spyware program. In addition, using a a spyware remover application on a regular basis will ensure your computer is not infected by any spyware that might have slipped through your other defenses.</p>
<p><span id="more-104"></span>
<p>People who are downloading a program often do not read the end user license agreement or a description of what&#8217;s included in the download because they&#8217;re in a hurry. If this describes you, you might be downloading a program that&#8217;s been bundled with other software that includes tracking cookies, a form of spyware. Your PC will become very sluggish if it becomes burdened by several spyware applications.</p>
<p>Typically, computer users are stunned the first time they scan their PC with a spyware removal application. They&#8217;re simply amazed to see how many spyware applications are hiding on their PCs. You need to find a good firewall and a good spyware remover application if you want to protect yourself against companies knowing your browsing habits.</p>
<p>You also need to keep your PC system software is always up to date and current. If you don&#8217;t install the patches and technical updates, you&#8217;re leaving the door of your PC vulnerable to spyware attacks. Windows offers a setting that allows you to update your PC automatically. Turning on this function is well worth it, because it will keep your system software current.</p>
<p>Summary of Security Tips Regarding Spyware Removers</p>
<p>Although you might not realize it, many companies are extremely interested in your Internet browsing habits. It&#8217;s therefore essential that you protect yourself and your computer by using spyware blockers. You should also make a habit of scanning your PC with a spyware remover application &#8211; incorporate a spyware blocker scan as part of your ongoing PC maintenance. By using a spyware blocker and spyware removers, you&#8217;ll always be protected against spyware, so your privacy will, well, remain private. You&#8217;ll also be preventing your computer from performing sluggishly due to system bloat caused by a spyware infestation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in early 2008, DirecTV made an announcement that left many of their customers scratching their heads. They announced, in effect, that they were eliminating the Tivo connection and forcing subscribers to upgrade to DVR. The reason was due to a planned migration to the MPEG4 platform. At the time, this upgrade actually suggested a downgrade to many people. After all, their Tivo devices had four tuners while the DVR devices to which they were being asked to upgrade only had two. What&#8217;s more, many consumers thought the move was unfair because they had already spent hundreds of dollars on their existing units.</p>
<p>Predictably, there was a mild backlash. Thousands of phone calls were placed, many subscribers canceled their accounts, and Direct TV was left to revisit their decision. Sure enough, by September 2008, the company made a new announcement: by the second half of 2009, they would release a new Tivo product. In this article, we&#8217;ll take a closer look at the renewed venture and explore the differences between Tivo and DirecTV&#8217;s DVR product.</p>
<p>A New Partnership</p>
<p>The partnership between the two companies has never been seamless. They formed a joint venture years ago that was designed to be a perfect marriage. DTV needed to provide its subscribers with an effective way to record the shows they wanted to watch later. On the other hand, Tivo had pioneered the technology behind the digital recording of TV programming. However, their market was under attack by lower-priced competitors. They needed a way to outflank their competition on the back of an industry giant. DirecTV was that giant.</p>
<p>Things progressed well for awhile. Not only did both companies enjoyed the benefits from the partnership, subscribers were ecstatic by how well the respective technologies worked together. Then, trouble struck. When the joint venture was originally created, DTV was owned by News Corp. They too, made a digital recording device (through a subsidiary company) that could be used to record television programming. A decision was made to replace their long-time partner&#8217;s product with their subsidiary&#8217;s device.</p>
<p><span id="more-100"></span>
<p>The DVR technology that was used as a replacement is considered by many subscribers to be non-intuitive. Some have even complained about usability issues. It&#8217;s worth noting that DTV has ironed out many of the original problems that were inherent in early versions of DVR. However, subscribers&#8217; complaints have been persistent, which has led the company to choose an alternative path.</p>
<p>As late as April 2009, DirecTV was on schedule to release the new HD Tivo product to their customers. However, in May, it was announced that the digital recording product would not be released until 2010. There is some speculation that a recent ruling which blasted EchoStar, parent company of the Dish Network, has something to do with the pushback. That ruling emphasized a time-shifting patent owned by Tivo. It is plausible that DirecTV may have to pay sizable royalties in order to release a product using technology based on that patent.</p>
<p>So, can the two companies settle their past differences and release the device that DirecTV subscribers are anxious to use? Only time will tell.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK after looking at some different cold air intakes, it appears to me that AFE gives their customers the most info, If I&#8217;m wrong correct me accordingly. That pro dry filter they make has my attention, but do you see same gains and benefits with that as you would with the oiled filter? That I know can be a multiple choice given different folks drive in different climate conditions, pro dry just seems easier on the maintenance anyone have any experience with these? are the cheaper brands better?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of this stuff seems so obvious, but we lead such busy lives we can forget to check our mobile phone accounts. And if you don’t check over a few months our bills can mount up. And the longer you leave it the harder it is to remember what you did on your phone or not. Whether your phone is a smart phone a green mobile phone or an ‘old brick’ from 7 years ago. You still need to check your bills as they can get away from you.</p>
<p>Keeping on top of your bill is important especially around the summer when we take our mobiles abroad with us. And over Christmas and other festive breaks we can rack up some monstrous bills by phoning family and friends at home and abroad.</p>
<p>So here are 10 things to help you keep your accounts in check.</p>
<p>• Are you going over your minutes? Maybe a higher tariff would work out cheaper. It may be £5 more but the cost of going over your minutes maybe much higher. Some networks have a number you can check how many minutes you have left.</p>
<p>• And the same with your text messages, many of the networks have unlimited text bundles now. Remember texting abroad back to the UK or vice versa there is a cost.</p>
<p>• 0800, 0845, 0870 numbers etc, the networks charge for these.</p>
<p>• Get rid of services you do not use, games, subscriptions etc.</p>
<p>• You can install Instant Messaging applications on your phone to cut down on your texting. There are AOL, Instant Messenger, Google Talk, Skype packages. So if you have friends that you talk to a lot it can be easier, cheaper and more fun to send a message via IM</p>
<p>• There are lots of fees networks will try and sneak onto your bill hidden fees, changing plans, mobile web, Blackberry plans, early termination fees, insurance, and so on. Keep an eye on it.</p>
<p>• Get rid of any data services that are not free or included in your package. And when you go abroad with your Blackberry. You may free data services here in the UK, but they are not free when you travel abroad. You can always use your Blackberry PIN number for free.</p>
<p><span id="more-80"></span>
<p>• Don’t Call for Information, if you have free internet access from your phone, look for it. A quick call to information can cost you up to a £1.</p>
<p>• Lots of Apps are free, so cut down on buying them, they may seem cheap, but it can add up.</p>
<p>• Check your bill each month; The times I have found a £10 charge PER MONTH on my account for something I didn’t order or use? Check your account for any charges you feel are not right.</p>
<p>And whilst you have your network on the phone ask them for a better price, ask about any promotions, new plans, or other things that could make your bill cheaper. Its better the money in your pocket, than in the networks wouldn’t you agree?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DIGITAL CAMERA</p>
<p>Any time you are purchasing your digital camera you should look at a real DSLR if you need any or all the subsequent attributes:</p>
<p>THE CHOICE OF CAMERA</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t acquire the first camera that you admire. Listen to useful information about various options, but don&#8217;t be swayed by sales jargon. Don&#8217;t be put off by the relatively endless array of cameras when you enter a photographic store. It could seem challenging to make a decision at first, but do not worry. There is a large number of brands, but just a few distinct types of digital camera. As soon as you recognize the particular type of digital camera you prefer it is subsequently a case of deciding on a particular make or model.</p>
<p>THE PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA</p>
<p>Choose usually the one you feel at ease with. Many people are lured into getting a digital camera that they basically really don&#8217;t have to have. The particular entire newcomer to digital photography could possibly be totally baffled by a digital or DSLR camera and also then become frustrated from taking photos simply because associated with its complexness. Keep in mind, there is a photographic camera on the market for just about every level of photography, from simple point and shoot to tackling professional projects.</p>
<p>COST AND QUALITY</p>
<p>Typically, digital cameras are generally good price for dollars. In most instances you have what you pay for, but even at the lower end price level scale, you can discover a digital camera that will create satisfactory final results. Undoubtedly, the more you spend the better of the photographic camera. But don&#8217;t mistake this with accomplishing better quality outcomes which depends a great deal more on how the photographer makes use of the actual digital camera.</p>
<p>RELIABILITY</p>
<p>Bodies of the DSLR almost never fail as opposed to point and shoot cameras that happen to be built for transportable as well as low cost digital cameras possess large, light, accurate optical viewfinder.</p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span>
<p>DSLR CAMERA</p>
<p>Cameras produce good quality photos in low natural light, e.g., indoors without blasting all with flash. DSLR Cameras are able to attach specialty lenses, e.g., very wide angle lenses to get inside, surroundings, as well as architecture, or even very long telephoto lenses for sports photography.</p>
<p>ACCESSORIES</p>
<p>Extra things you may want to purchase include a lens cleaning kit for your Digital Camera. Additionally, you will definitely want at least one memory card. Most of the small digital cameras take SD cards. In case you are taking JPEG photographs rather than RAW, you are going to have the ability to fit somewhere between 250 to 500 images in a 1 GB card.</p>
<p>1 GB SD cards: SanDisk<br />
2 GB SD cards: SanDisk<br />
4 GB SD cards: SanDisk<br />
8 GB SD cards: SanDisk<br />
16 GB SD cards: SanDisk (great for an extended trip into a remote area where you simply cannot backup your photos to a PC).</p>
<p>It is far easier to use a single memory card for an entire assignment or trip instead of using several cards.</p>
