It feels like a cigarette, looks like a cigarette but it isn't bad for your health.

The revolutionary "smoking" or "stop" smoking cigarette is made under the supervision of the China Health Care Society and Beijing Health Care Department with World Patents. The Electronic Cigarette is made from microelectronic control and supercritical atomizing technologies.

It looks like a cigarette, however there is no tar. It does smoke BUT there is no smoking pollution material. You do not need any matches or lighter for smoking it BUT it lets you enjoy and satisfy those tactile sensations without any risk and dependence on tobacco. It gives you the same feeling of a tobacco cigar or cigarette without suffering any smoking damage.

Smoke healthily without any environmental pollution!

Electronic Cigarette consists of a stainless steel shell, lithium ion
battery, micro-electronic circuit, atomizing chamber, and indicator
light at the head of the Electronic Cigarette. It can make smokers
enjoy the same pleasure as that of traditional Cigar when inhaling the
nicotine smog droplet, imitating the whole process of smoking.

Electronic Cigarette creates a healthy smoking cultural atmosphere,
and has been eulogized by authoritative experts as the perfect
combination of modern micro-electronic technology, biological
technology and the conception of healthy life

How The E-Cigarette Works?
> How the E-cigarette works?

Unlike nicotine gum or the nicotine patch, the e-cigarette actually
functions much like a regular cigarette. However rather than burning
and smoking, it vaporizes. The nicotine is still delivered to the
lungs, but in vapor form, rather than smoke which contains all the
cancer causing toxins. Right instruction is a diagram showing the
various parts of the e-cigarette.

Benefits Of The E-Cigarette

No smoke smelling clothes, No bad breath, No stained teeth, No social
embarrassment.
No passive smoking. Can be enjoyed anywhere
No carbon monoxide,
No Pollution
No flame
No tar

Apple's new MacBook Air subnotebook raised eyebrows by using a mysterious new, ultra-compact Core 2 Duo processor. New research, however, reveals it to be a blend of old and new technology designed to make few sacrifices.

if (!window.netshel_ord) { netshel_ord=Math.random()*10000000000000000; } if (!window.netshel_tile) { netshel_tile=1; } document.write('

An in-depth study of the design by AnandTech founder Anand Lal Shimpi explains that the processor is actually based on Intel's 65 nanometer (65nm) Merom architecture with an 800MHz bus, first released in May of last year. All of Apple's current iMac, MacBook, and MacBook Pro models use some form of the processor at a higher clock speed.

But rather than struggle to fit the hot, standard-sized processor package into the tight confines of the Air's chassis -- a feat deemed impossible by Jobs during the computer's introduction -- Apple appears to have called on Intel to accelerate the release of an extra-small chip package not scheduled to arrive until the launch of the Montevina notebook platform in mid-2008.

"The MacBook Air uses the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and Intel 965GMS chipset with integrated [graphics] using a new miniaturized package technology. This new CPU and chipset allows for approximately 60% reduction in total footprint," Intel explains in a response to the technology site.

The mixture of current and next-generation parts creates an unusual blend of performance characteristics. The new Core 2 Duo slots just above the Low Voltage (LV series) variants in terms of clock speed and power use -- starting at 1.6GHz with 20 watts of thermal design power versus 1.4GHz and 17 watts -- but is considerably more efficient than the regular mobile processor, which consumes 35 watts of peak power at a minimum 1.8GHz.

Apple may have been making "tradeoffs" to get the finished MacBook Air on the market in time, Lal Shimpi speculates.

As for the reason behind choosing the new variant instead of stock low or ultra-low voltage Core 2 models, the report suggests only that Apple's main concern was to avoid the low speeds of these chips while compromising as little as possible on energy efficiency or heat.

"Performance appears to be all but solved [for subnotebooks]," Lal Shimpi says. "The fact that Apple can cram a nearly-2GHz Core 2 Duo into the MacBook Air either means that Moore's law has caught up with our desires or Apple is going to make it so you can no longer have children."

This new Fujitsu laptops are covered with cloth and to me, it’s absolutely beautiful. The Fab PC concept is made from fabric and flexible e-paper as display. Tell me if it’s not environmentally friendly :)

The Fab PC is so lightweight you can carry it around and it’s even hardy enough for you to drop it on concrete and it won’t make a peep squeek. But this is just a concept unfortunately. It will certainly be lighter but would it be solid enough to hold? As paper and fabric deteriorates very quickly.I still think the laptop is such an eye candy though.

Here’s to seeing the Fabric PC coming true. Cheers!

One of the most powerful games released for PC till date.

Look at the specifications required to run this game minimally I should say.

Minimum System Requirements:
OS - Windows XP or Windows Vista
Processor - 2.8GHz or faster (XP); 3.2GHz or faster * (Vista)
Memory - 1GB RAM or 1.5GB RAM (Vista)
Video Card - 256MB **
Hard Drive - 12GB
Sound Card - DirectX 9.0c compatible
Recommended System Requirements:
OS - Windows XP / Vista
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.2GHz
Memory - 2GB RAM
Video Card - Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar
* Supported Processors: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz (3.2GHz for Vista) or faster, Intel Core 2GHz (2.2GHz for Vista) or faster, and other similar CPUs.
** Supported chipsets: Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT + or similar GPUs. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Integrated chipsets are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required.

The physics and the modelling of the environment really blow you out of your chair.
Every blade of grass and tropical leaf is 3D rendered and able to be pushed around and seen from different angles (no tree-branch sprites here).

Take a look at the screenshot. Shading is implemented for everything.
The flawless lighting system, the night/day system, the sun, the trees the grass, all done with extreme details.
Fires, explosions, smoke, dust, all look stupidly real. Water looks and acts so much like actual water (even right down to wave dynamics, light refraction and beading off the camera when you get out) that I actually found myself thinking I could cool off my computer's white-hot GPU by going underwater.

The biggest features of this game include:

Fully DX10 capable title (DX9 Available, but not nearly as impressive)
Very destructible environments
Intelligent AI
Nanosuit "Superpowers"
Weapon customization
Free-roam capability
A very good story
An editor
Multiplayer

Overall Verdict: AA game (it will take a computer 4 years from now, year 2008, to render and run this game to its fullest potential) - Future proof your games collection with this Crysis!

2008年新世代ThinkPad的第一道曙光！

對岸友站「專門網(51nb.com)」在2007年最後一天送上了一份跨年大禮給ThinkPad愛用者們，友站刊出的「新一代ThinkPad曝光？」專文首度揭露了傳聞已久的13.3吋寬螢幕ThinkPad的神祕面紗。在此感謝專門網站長HOPE授權本站引用該文的圖片。站長僅節錄其中三張機體的照片，完整圖片請參閱友站專文。

圖片中的新世代ThinkPad研發代號為「Kodachi」（源自日文「小太刀」，日本傳統兵器），裝配13.3吋寬螢幕LED背光面板，並內建光碟機，算是繼T-Series之後，ThinkPad終於有一款輕薄的2-Spindle機種了。下圖是Kodachi的機體後視圖，站長非常驚訝 Kodachi不採用T60/X60的「電池後置」設計，T60/X60機體後面就是電池槽，所以並沒有太多的空間可放置連接埠。反觀Kodachi機體後面依序由左而右分別是：AC電源接頭(20V)、外接螢幕接頭(D-sub)、RJ45(Ethernet)、無線網路硬體開關、USB 2.0接頭、CPU排風口。

Kodachi的後端佈局讓站長回想起了2000年發表的ThinkPad X20，下圖是X20的機體後視圖，是否頗有相似之處?只是歷經八年之後，RJ11(Modem)終於從新世代的Kodachi上退役了，同時拜LED背光面板以及7mm超薄光碟機之賜，Kodachi即使內建光碟機，主機厚度仍比X20更薄。

Kodachi可說是日本Yamato Lab納入聯想麾下之後全力開發的全新機種，一方面融合了T60所獨有的Roll cage架構，另一方面則採用了LED背光面板、SSD固態硬碟以及7mm超薄光碟機，實現了多年來使用者引頸盼望的「低於2公斤」、「內建光碟機」的輕薄ThinkPad夢想。Kodachi的LCD背蓋左下方新增Lenovo商標，右下方則改用新式ThinkPad標籤取代傳統的IBM ThinkPad標籤。

關於Kodachi的內部規格尚未明朗，站長猜測會採用Intel GM965晶片組，同時從下圖的CPU排風口研判，可能會搭載低電壓版Merom處理器(45奈米製程的Penryn處理器在2008Q3才會上市)，故僅需鋁製散熱片。雖然台灣一直沒有引進內建WWAN(3G上網)功能的ThinkPad，但國外可能會推出內建802.11n(MIMO)+HSDPA (3.5G WWAN)以及UWB(UltraWide Band)以及藍牙功能的超完整無線配備機種，只要能克服電池續航力，相信Kodachi可取代T-Series成為商務人士的新世代移動辦公室利器。 2008年適逢ThinkPad 600十週年誕生，Kodachi即將以13.3吋寬螢幕姿態問世，此外次世代X-Series傳聞也在開發中，相信2008年對於ThinkPad愛用者而言會是非常值得期待的一年！在此預祝大家新年愉快！

Some highlights:

Code: Kodachi (a kind of Japanese sword)
Likely to stay with "Merom" CPU and Intel GM965 chipset.
13.3" Wide Screen w/ LED backlight
Bulit-in Optical Drive (7mm height)
(Optional) SSD drive
Battery NOT in the back of the laptop
Roll Cage design (like the current T series)
Lenovo logo on the outside

Some basic translations:

The new thinkpad's code name: Kodachi meaning katana in japanese.
It's 13.3in with led back light, It can be considered as the next generation T-series.
This new gen was inspired by the Thinkpad x20. The kodachi compared to the x20 is thinner with led
Kodachi has the roll cage, led backlight, ssd and the new 7mm super thin dvd drive. It weighs under 2kg. At the bottom left corner is the Lenovo sticker. The right corner will be the new lenovo sticker.
The specific specs for Kodachi is not out yet, but it will use the intel gm965 mobo.
There is a possibility it will use the penryn processor, but the penryn processor will be out 2008 Q3.
The Kodachi will have the 802.11n(MIMO)+HSDPA (3.5G WWAN) and ultrawide band and bluetooth.
Currently they are working on the battery power stuff, it will take over the T-series eventually.

Happy New Year to all my friends!!!
