Intel Core 2 Quad

Clocked at 2.83 GHz, the Q9550 is the second most powerful after the Q9650 in the Core 2 Quad family. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 made it to the top by defeating AMD’s most powerful quad-core processor, the Phenom X4 955, by a small margin on the time it was released. It scored higher in most 3D benchmark tests except the audio and video encoding tests. Since both Core 2 Quad Q9550 and Phenom II X4 955 are priced almost the same, still the Q9550 is the better choice. Not because I’m a great fan of Intel processors that’s why I’ve chosen this one, but because of it’s performance and features. Still don’t underestimate AMD’s Phenom II X4 995, because it has features to unlocked multiplier which makes overclocking a breeze. However, the Q9550 can be overclocked much higher (more than 1 GHz) by increasing the FSB.

Samsung T260HD 25.5" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Strengths: Large screen; 2 HDMI ports; QAM Tuner; features many media ports; Vibrant colors; Decent black levels; High-quality build; supports high resolutions as both an HDTV and a monitor.

Weaknesses: Superfluous features (SW Upgrade via USB, but unit has no USB port); missing USB; Limited color adjustment options in HDMI mode; Require additional accessories to mount unit; poor quality speakers.

Overall Evaluation: This is quite an impressive HDTV/monitor which deserves 5-stars, but is ultimately held back by critical flaws. First, it is a great 26-inch monitor which delivers vibrant colors and deep black levels. There are many input and output ports for a set this small which makes it very versatile.The issues start with the menu. There are many picture adjusting functions that become unavailable in HDMI mode which poses a problem if one is using the unit as an LCD monitor via HDMI. There is a solution thankfully--edit the graphical settings via the PC's video software. Also there is an option to upgrade the software via USB in the menu, but the unit does not include a USB port--this may be Samsung using a universal firmware for both the T260 (the LCD monitor version of this unit with USB ports) and the T260HD (the HDTV/LCD monitor version being reviewed here). Lastly, the set requires an additional accessory to be installed onto the unit because it can be mounted on the wall mount.Overall, 4 out of 5.

A less poisonous and more non-smoker friendly cigarette?.. the eCigarette

Being of the ‘aware’ and ‘caring’ sort, I know how harmful tar is and how non-smokers feel when surrounded by the smelly thing. More than that, we all know the specific smell of a smoker’s car or house, and it isn’t nice. No. Not even for smokers.

This is where this comes in: the eCigarette. Why the E? Well, it’s electronic. In fact, it’s a small nicotine inhaler, cleverly disguised as a working cigarette. It delivers the needed amounts of nicotine, but without the real poison, the tarry smoke. Its realism is also an excellent thing. It’s actually the only thing that made me consider this.

Nicotine and the activity of smoking are in a close race for the addictive and relieving effects: many people smoke a cigarette when they need to calm down, or are bored, or depressed. Compare this with chewing some nicotine gum or sticking a plaster onto your skin. Even people who are trying to give up smoking and are treating their addiction with gum or plasters feel the need to smoke, because they’ve become addicted to this activity and its effects.

In order to improve the realism, the eCigarette delivers the nicotine mixed with thick steam, so one has something ‘tangible’ to inhale and to exhale. It even has a LED on its tip, for that little glint.The cigarette has already achieved a high level of success in China and the other markets it has entered. In Hong Kong it costs about $210, a sum I’d be oh so happy to fork out if it could really replace my smokes.
