ASUS Once Again Proves Its Uncanny Ability to Meld Form, Function and Fashion in an Elegant yet Understated Netbook
Since the introduction of the first Eee PC™, ASUS has inched high technology ever closer to high fashion. With the Eee PC™ Seashell Karim Rashid Collection (1008P), ASUS has taken a decisive leap onto the catwalk. Co-conceived by one of the world’s leading designers, the Eee PC™ Seashell Karim Rashid Collection is the realization of Karim’s vision of computing—one that is more sensual, more human, more hip. Completely contemporary and anathema to nostalgia, these netbooks are more daring, more intersecting, and are designed to appeal to young, mobile trendsetters while remaining an accessible luxury to everyone.
The Eee PC™ Seashell Karim Rashid Collection manifests ASUS’ commitment to designing products that appeal to the five human senses, with an emphasis on vision and touch. To achieve this, ASUS’ industrial designers have had to pioneer a plethora of material, production, and textural innovations, such as the combination of rubber paint, in mold roller (IMR), and metallic materials to create thoroughly unique finishes.

Statistics have it that the number of antique cars enthusiasts is increasing. This may not exactly be a very cheap hobby. There are a lot of considerations when a person get into this.
After looking into the different netbooks available in the market, we were driven to seriously consider Asus EeePC 1000 HE with its claimed kick ass specification given it being affordable. Although we were out to get an EeePC 1000 HE, we ended up with Asus EeePC 1005 HA instead for a few thousand bucks more (Pesos) with better specification and claimed longer battery life.

21.5-inch and 27-inch displays.
The new iMac has come a long way from the first 15-inch iMac. Take one look and you’ll see just how far. A 21.5-inch or 27-inch display with edge-to-edge glass covers nearly the entire front of the enclosure. When all you see is the display, nothing gets between you and what’s onscreen. Movies, TV shows, websites, photos — everything looks stunning on the new 16:9 widescreen iMac display.
LED Lighting.
When a display has more pixels, you need to push more light through them to achieve the best picture possible. LED backlighting in the new iMac does exactly that, with remarkable brightness and efficiency. Because the LED backlight doesn’t take up much space, the iMac enclosure stays thin — even with all the high-performance components inside.
Higher resolution.
The new 21.5-inch iMac features 1920-by-1080 HD resolution. Apple engineers could simply have stretched that resolution up and out for the 27-inch iMac. Instead, they took the display well beyond HD with 2560-by-1440 resolution. That’s 78 percent more pixels than the 21.5-inch iMac.
IPS technology.
The iMac display is designed to look great from almost any angle. A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) makes this possible. Whether you’re sitting in front of the display or standing off to the side, you’ll get a perfect picture with superb color consistency and no loss of detail.
If you area techie, you will find that Buy.com actually offers great deals on a wide and best selection of video cards. Why would you pay more than you should, when you can get it at a lower price, right? We have to be practical these days. I checked their stocks and their price against the other stores and they give their customers the best deal there is in the market.
Exactly two months and a week after we dropped off our Canon A620 Powershot camera to Canon’s local service center in Pasong Tamo, Makati, Philippines, it was finally sent via courier last Friday, September 11, 2009.
iPod nano now has a built-in video camera that lets you record fun as it happens. Then share it with friends on the Internet. It’s the video camera that’s small enough to take with you everywhere.
Video recording. A whole new way to nano.
A quick scroll through the menu takes you to the video camera. Then you’re ready to record video in portrait or landscape — perfect for emailing or posting on Facebook or MobileMe. A built-in mic lets you capture audio, too. And when you play back your video on iPod nano, you’ll hear the recorded audio with it. All of which means your indispensable music player is now your indispensable video camera.
We just received an SMS yesterday that our Canon A620 will be finally available for pick up this coming Friday afternoon, September 4, 2009. Exactly two months after we left our unit to be serviced by them. We left our A620 with them on July 4, 2009. We have the paper to prove this. You have to read my post on our frustration over Canon’s Service Center here in the Philippines to understand where this post is coming from.
