In 2012, the 3D glasses standard

Previously the user was limited when you buy a 3D TV glasses on the models of the manufacturer. The different types of transmission between the glasses and the TV made the exchange of models from different manufacturers used to be impossible. That should change now: With the initiative to the leading companies make the consumer market for 3D-enabled devices more manageable.

The agreement of the initiative involves different radio-and infrared-transmission protocols. They provide data transport between the glasses and organize player and the opening and closing of the glasses synchronized with the picture. From the TV or projector for home cinema via the PC-monitor technology to the cinema: All transmission types, ought to be compatible with a universal eye.

Apple releases Lion Recovery Disk Wizard

Apple has released the Lion Recovery Disk wizard to clone the partition backup on an external Lion, such as an external hard drive or USB key. This is a solution to the problems that some users might experience after a hard drive failure or SSD, but this does not solve everything. To take advantage of this utility, it is imperative to have a machine running on Leo.

For the record, the new operating system creates a backup partition on which it is possible to start to reinstall the operating system or restore a Time Machine backup and carry out certain repairs of storage media. The problem is that in case of severe damage, it is impossible to boot from this partition that resides on the primary disk.

Samsung BD-C5900: 3-D Blu-ray Player

To view 3D movies, you need not only a 3D-player of course also a 3D-capable, including appropriate 3D glasses. Was to test the Samsung BD-C5900 with 130 inches of screen size to use course you can also use the C5900 with any normal flat screen TV in 2D mode. Because the supply of 3D movies is lean yet (August 2010), were used except for two 3D animated films for testing, two demo discs.

With the Blu-ray playback via the HDMI output showed only minimal blurring. The visual inspection, the figures rose significantly from the background, and in some passages was indeed the impression that individual objects would stand out from the TV.

Many Intel LGA 1156 reach the end of life

Are 20 processors that Intel dismetterà before the second half of 2011 as they have reached the stage of the market referred to as EOL (end of life). This means that the chipmaker will not take more orders for them from its OEM partners and channel and stop the production. The warranty period but continues to be maintained in compliance with company policies.

The models in the list that are of greater attention are the Core i7-970 and LGA 1366 Core i7-880, Core i7-875K, 870S-Core i7, i5-760, 750S-i5, i5-655K, LGA-530 Core i3 1156. The latter witness again how the LGA 1156 has been only one transition for Intel platform, likely to be considered among those with the shorter life of the desktop motherboard market.
