I strongly recommend uninstalling 5R5 or 5R4 if you already have them installed, but it should work fine if you do not. I strongly recommend uninstalling 5R5 or 5R4 if you already have them installed, but it should work fine if you do not

The US agency behind Voice of America said on Friday it is working on ways to slip news past tough Internet blockades in countries such as China and Iran.

The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) confirmed that it is crafting “feed over email” software capable of turning popular Web-based email services such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, or Hotmail into conduits for online news.

“It is very powerful, but not ready for beta testing,” the agency’s director of technology Ken Berman said. “We are not there yet; this is just a cool thing we are working on.”

FOE software is intended to take advantage of encryption technology in free Web-based email services to create secure channels for news found anywhere on the Internet, according to Berman.

“Some countries block the news. My team tries to offer tools to defeat that censorship on the Internet.”

When FOE is ready, it will be beta tested in China and Iran, according to the BBG.

“China is the benchmark, the gold standard, of Internet censorship,” Mr Berman said. “We try things. The idea is to extend freedom of the Internet; freedom of the press, freedom of inquiry to those that want to know more.”

A BBG engineer demonstrated FOE technology to large audience of software experts at the annual DefCon gathering of hackers in Las Vegas about two weeks ago.

“It’s not a covert program,” Berman said. “Everything we do is in the open, unclassified. We are a broadcast agency.”

BBG handles the US government’s non-military broadcasting, including Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Voice of America, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks.

BBG reports that its broadcasters distribute programming in 60 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 175 million people via radio, TV, the Internet and other new media.

LG Electronics is going to embed virtualisation technology from US
based NComputing into its LCD monitors, enabling up to eleven people to share a single PC.
NComputing’s virtualisation technology enables a single PC or server to be virtualised so that many users can tap the unused capacity and share it as if each person had his own computer. The sub- $200 computing solution will further drive the acceleration towards desktop virtualisation and cloud computing, in which computing is centralised and done over the Web.
The new category of LCD monitors, called SmartVine N-series, will work with both Windows and Linux computers. Users can connect their keyboards and mice directly to the monitor, which will then connect to the host PC via a standard cable. An NComputing X550 PCI card kit with vSpace software will enable the host PC to connect to five additional monitors. With two kits, a total of eleven users can share one PC.

The Xtand is actually an iPhone stand.This iPhone accessory is named as Xtand, probably because of the’X'shaped holder that the iPhone rests on. Thankfully,the manufacturers did not name it iStand. On the first place you would be thinking, why would somebody use a stand to keep an iPhone.Well, it’s pretty simple, if you are a kind of person who has invested in the iPhone for watching movies on its splendid large screen than this gadget is a great buy.

Fits both, first and the second generation of iPhones, the Xtand offers precise grip to the iPhone and will surely not let it fall.At first we were a little skeptical to push in the iPhone on the Xtand, fearing that it would spoil the back part of the phone with marks. But once on the stand,the iPhone held firmly. There were absolutely no marks on the iPhone after removing it from the stand.The Xstand is made for the purpose of making of your iPhone more viewer friendly and it does so without any complaints. Xstand definitely provides a good viewing angle to the iPhone, much better than holding the iPhone in your hand or keeping it flat on the desk.
We see this device much useful to people who travel on airplanes. The only gripe that we have with this accessory is that it is too large to be carried in pockets. If the makers come up with a folding solution of the same, it would gain more popularity.

The idea behind System Mechanic is that it can give your computer a thorough check-up as well as tweak it to keep it running smooth. Installation was painless,and the program automatically runs a basic check as soon as it starts.This seeks out unnecessary files, things that are taking up hard disk space, basic Registry errors and lack of memory. It offered to automatically fix all of them,as well as backing up the Registry, but usefully it also gives the option of going in and seeing exactly what the problems are. That’s good if you’re not sure you want to delete certain things or if you want to see exactly what it proposes to do to the Registry.
We ran a thorough scan which took around an hour, but took in a surface scan of the hard disk (which checks for potentially dangerous physical errors) as well as a more thorough search of the Registry. All the tools can be accessed separately as well, including others such as one that wipes unwanted files.
One thing we aren’t convinced about is the subscription — unlike most utility programs, System Mechanic requires you to subscribe, for it to work.The initial price includes 12 months, as well as automatic updates and upgrades during that time, but if you don’t renew it, it will stop working.That’s fine for anti-virus software, which needs to keep itself up-to-date, but this kind of program should still be useable without updates after a year.
The Pro version of System Mechanic, which isa little more expensive, adds anti-virus capabilities as well as a firewall and the Search and Recover product, which can recover accidentally deleted files.
As it stands, though, the standard System Mechanic 8 product is an impressively comprehensive set of tools that covers almost all of the bases for most users. It’s true that most users won’t use most of the tools available, but if you need them, System Mechanic is an excellent collection.

The first time you see the Creative ZEN Mozaic, it looks like a flatter and larger version of ZEN Stone plus similar body and rounded corners. At closer inspection you can see the difference. The ZEN Mozaic has got a matte charcoal finish all over and gray and white accented keys that look great on it.
As far as support is concerned the ZEN mosaic sup ports majority audio for mats, MP3 and WMA to name a few. Along with that it can also play video content on it as well, though you will definitely have to wait for hours to convert the video with the bundled utility. We wish there was support for newer video formats like MP4 and DivX on this PMP.The ZEN Mozaic has a 1.4- inch colour display screen having a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. The display is vibrant and colourful, and is good enough to display all information about a song. Due to its low resolution, video is not a good experi ence.
An FM player and a Voice recorder are also included, which is good for people who don’t like to have too many gadgets.  The ZEN mosaic is a powerful little monster when it comes to music playback. The quality of the bundled headphones are a big let down. You will have to get yourself a good pair of cans if you buy this player, so remember to add that cost.
The battery life is good enough, and lasts about 6 hours between charges. FM reception is bad, and the lack of an expandable memory slot is worse – you’re stuck with the 2 GB provided. There are 4 GB and 8 GB versions available as well, but it’s still not enough these days. Overall, the bundle is something that looks a lot better than it sounds.

Supports MP3, WMA and AVi formats, 1.4 in colour display, loudspeaker, FM radio

Anybody who sees the Creative VADO for the very first time will confuse it with a portable media player. Don’t. This sleek and stylish metallic silver body hides a portable video recorder. It allows you to capture videos easily and quickly.
To start with, the Creative VADO comprises of a non-auto focus camera, with which you can record videos at a resolution of 640 x 480. It features 2 GB of memory, and this is non- expandable, which is a serious turn-off. At its resolu tion, though, this translates to about 2 hours of video recording.
Just like any other camcorder, the VADO also gives two options to record video, both at the same VGA resolu tion. When using High Quality mode, you can cap ture about 1 hour of video. In Standard Play mode you can get about two hours of video. Battery life is good, so you will run out of memory way before you run out of charge. Obviously, at VGA resolutions, recorded videos look pixellated, and you can make out the differ ence between High Quality and Standard Play recording modes. The convenience of being able to pull some thing out of your pocket, start recording and then put it away just as easily.
The VADO allows recorded content to be trans ferred via USB, and you don’t need to lug around cables, because it has a retractable connector. Using a bundled utility, uploading video to YouTube is as easy as pushing a button.
Overall, if you’re not looking for great video quality, and want to shell out Rs 7,000 for convenience of point and record, the VADO will keep you happy.

The Xerox Phaser 6180 is an office use, color laser printer suitable for small and frequent print jobs. Powered by a 400 MHz processor, it comes with an auto duplex feature for double- side printing and network connectivity. It can print on a max paper size of up to 8. 5×14 in. The print quality that this printer gave was good with excellent clarity for both color and monochrome prints with distinct shades of black and grey. The feature that stands out in this printer is its speed. It was able to give us a speed of 25 full text pages per minute or 10 colorA4 size prints of a .jpg file.  Another feature worth noticing was that the printer has a very silent operation making it office friendly.The 6180 is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS. An addition to this printer’s minimalistic
design-it has a small LCD on board which shows the ink levels of all four toner cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, the printer status and other prompts. However manipulating the advanced features and controls of this machine can get a little frustrating to use with the tiny LCD display and fewer buttons. When
comes to its design, this printer doesn’t occupy much desk space but still manages to look a little bulky probably due to its height. It has one standard tray and a multi-purpose tray for loading paper and envelopes of different sizes. Added features like password-protected secure printing and watermarking for confidential docs are also present on this printer.
BOTTOMLINE: Good printing speed br both color and monochrome, and silent functioning.
