A combination of printer technology, paper characteristics and ink quality all contribute to the final result of your printing job. Most of us are familiar with the two main types of printer technology – laser printers vs

Last week saw a remarkable spike in the price of a top-of-the-line Intel microprocessor. The pricing of one of Intel’s most sophisticated processors, the i7 Core , displayed a fairly high degree of price stability from early March until late July, with our PriceSCAN.com Intel Core i7 Processor Index remaining in a range of about 1% above or below its initial value. But from the third week of July until mid-August we witnessed a nearly 10% nose-dive in that our index, followed by a sharp 4.35% upward jump last week

Printer Functionality The first obvious advantage of the multifunction printer or multifunctional device (MFD) as it’s often known, is functionality – the impressive range of capabilities that most MFP’s/ MFD’s will be able to offer. Typically, an MFP will provide you with photocopying, network printing, scanning, faxing, and all usually colour printing and copying capability too
What next for Foursquare (Gowalla and other companies in the check-in space)? One week into Facebook Places, it’s pretty clear the core use case of finding out where you’re friends have been tilted heavily toward Facebook. Media feedback on whether Places is really innovative varies but that’s besides the point. Incumbent players, with their large audiences, have the luxury of entering new spaces with as “fast followers” who add rapidly adopted features like check-ins to their platforms. But there’s a lot more that can be done in the geo-social area. I’ve always thought that Foursquare’s biggest asset is surfacing leaders in the “things to do” space. Who are the trendsetters that can help me get more out my activities and social life? We value the ratings and reviews of thoughtful contributors on Yelp and Amazon. They save us time and share “hidden” information. Likewise, social trendsetters who have similar interests and preferences to our own can be really informative. Because it’s a use case that transcends friends, there need to be ways to identify these leaders. Here’s where Foursquare’s badging is a really differentiated asset. Badging tied to activity types, categories and interest areas can reveal who’s worth following based on similarity to preferences and “activity graph”. There’s utility and entertainment value in discovering new and interesting places via trendsetters. Want the scoop on the late night hang out scene in your town? Are you checking-in to tourist destinations on your vacation and open to itinerary ideas and tips? Are you a foodie who want to stay abreast of the new “must have” restaurants. There are people who are really engaged into these scenes who can lead the way. You might call them tribal leaders. Tribal leaders crave followers or tribe members. Foursquare is a great platform for these leaders to organize their tribes. I’d like to see profile pages on Foursquare begin to surface these potential leaders in a more meaningful way than is provided today. Badging is a really hugely valuable set of data that can be mined for insight into ‘mayorship’ of a different kind. The version 1.0 of mayorship that is prevalent today really needs to evolve into mayorship which signals deeper qualification to lead specific communities of interest.

The back-to-school season is upon us and for many it’s time to make some important technology purchases including new PCs and printers. Over the years, the retail options available for new technology purchases has grown significantly and now include both in-store and online buying experiences, both with their pros and cons. Buying something in-store means taking the time to research in advance, familiarizing with the products before arriving at the store, taking the time to visit the store, but also getting to see and test the products in person

With an ePrint function that allows users to print web content directly from the printer itself without ever having to connect to a PC, and a price tag under a hundred dollars, the HP Photosmart D110a is one of the best values on the market. Thanks to a large Touchsmart frame that allows for easy, wireless web browsing directly from the unit, the D110a is one of the first in a new category of, ” stand alone printers .” Furthering the HP Photosmart D110a’s standing as an independent device is the incorporation of copy functions into the unit. A flip up top allows for copies of photos and documents, along with three dimensional objects such as books and magazines, to be made easily.

When workspace is limited, size is crucial when it comes to office hardware. Industrial grade copy machines can prove to be bulky, and expensive, and occasionally stand alone, personal copy machines stand out as the appropriate purchase. With the Canon Copier PC-941 , performance comes in a small package.

Ask any Google Wave user and they will confirm that Wave is a very useful tool for working in collaboration on projects. It’s powerful, fast and has a host of superb features. So, why did Google announce yesterday that they were ceasing development of Google Wave? The simple answer from Google, was that “we have not seen the level of adoption we would have liked.” In other words, it attracted very few regular users.

Android users can relax again, in the knowledge that the Android OS is just as safe today as ever; despite yesterday’s incorrect reports of a malicious app that was on millions of Android users devices! Yesterday, the blogosphere was full of stories about an Android wallpaper app , which was reportedly collecting sensitive user data and sending it off to a server in China. LookOut (the firm who reported this supposed security problem) has since issued a statement saying that in fact, the app was NOT showing any malicious behaviour.

Panasonic caused a splash in the blogosphere yesterday when it announced the world’s first consumer 3D camera, the HDC-SDT750 , for the American market (release in October). The device was announced [JP] today in Japan as well, but Panasonic made some changes. And it showed another model, too, the HDC-TM650 (pictured), which hasn’t been announced for other markets thus far.

Meep meep! These cars are cute! Be sure to check out the massive gallery! As today’s economy continues to shake and stagger, most people find themselves in the “savings” and “fuel efficiency” mode when it comes to cars – and so the idea of small, easy to park and to maintain micro cars remains popular. Plus even from purely design and vintage collector’s viewpoint, these cars can possess more cuteness and nostalgia factor than your favorite childhood toys.
