Sony to pull plug on floppy disks

Sony has finally decided to stop making 3.5-inch floppy disks, according to international news reports.


The Japanese electronics giant has announced it will stop selling the 30-year-old storage format in Japan in March 2011 because of dwindling sales. It has already discontinued the

 discs in most international markets.

Other storage media like USB keys and DVDs offer far more recording space than floppy disks - which typically contain less than two megabytes of memory - and are increasingly affordable.



A four-gigabyte USB key generally retails for less than $20 in Canada. A 10-pack of Sony 3.5-inch floppy disks, which altogether total less than 15 megabytes of memory, sells in central Tokyo for about $6 US, according to PC Magazine.



Apple stopped designing computers with standard floppy disk drives in 1998, and Dell followed suit in 2003.



Sony said in March it had stopped selling floppy disks in most of its international markets, with the exception of India and some other regions, Japan's Mainichi Daily News reported



Floppy disks are still commonly used in Japan, where Sony has 70 per cent of the market share. Companies sold about 12 million floppy disks in 2009, although that's a steep decline from 2002, when 47 million disks were purchased.



Many of the remaining Japanese floppy disk customers are in the education and research sectors and use older computer equipment, according to PC Magazine.



Meanwhile, research company Global Industry Analysts predicts the USB market to reach over 568 million units by 2015.



The first floppy disks were developed by IBM in 1971 to help consumers save data, documents and pictures in a portable format.



The eight-inch disks were made of flexible plastic, hence the "floppy" description.

Color E-ink: Electrowetting Brings Color and Video to E-book Reader Screens

A new release from a group of Dutch researchers paves the way for efficient e-book readers with color and video e-ink displays.


Do you love the gorgeous color and video on

your laptop's LCD but find the long battery life of e-ink displays tempting? Dutch display company Liquavista might have the solution for you. By using a process called "electrowetting" Liquavista has created high efficiency displays that not only show text and still photos in color, but can also animate videos.


What differentiates electrowetting from a traditional e-ink display, like the one on your Kindle or Nook ? E-ink uses an electric field to move pigment particles in order to make text and images, while Liquavista's electrowetting process uses electric charge to move colored oil drops to change a display's color or to play a video. Because of the high switching speed of electrowetting, this microfluidic phenomenon is perfect for applications that require little power draw, like e-book readers or smartphones.



Some of the advantages of electrowetting over LCDs include that electrowetting draws less voltage and power than a traditional LCD. Displays using electrowetting can also be thinner than their LCD counterparts, as well as up to eight times brighter because of the lack of polarizers required for the electrowetting technology displays.



While there aren't yet any consumer devices available in the US offering colored e-ink displays that use high speed switching of colored oils, it's been possible to get video on the Kindle and other e-book readers for a while:

Format/Partition


Important


Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32
you will need to reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data including programs and
personal files on

Installing Windows


lnstalling Windows 2000 Professional


(These are just basic steps which give you an idea of installing Windows)


To install Windows 2000 Professional, follow these steps:

 Start the installation by using one of the following methods:  Start from the Windows 20OO Professional installation CD-ROM. Make sure that the CD-ROM is set to

 start before the hard disk starts.

PCI and PCI Express


PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)

Is a computer bus for attaching hardware devices in a computer. These devices device
need the PCI specification, or an expansion card that fits into the PCI slot. Despite the availability of
 faster interfaces such as
 PCI Express, conventional PCI remains the most
common interface The PCI specification covers the physical size of the bus (including
wire spacing), electrical characteristics, bus timing, and protocols.

Components Layout

A. PCI Slot - This board has 2 PCI slots. These can be used for components such as
Ethernet cards, sound cards, and modems'

Memory

memory

Memory can be very confusing but is usually one if the easiest pieces of hardware to add to your computer. It is common to confuse chip memory with disk storage. An example of
 the difference between memory and storage would be the difference between a table where the actual work is done (memory) and a filing cabinet where the finished product is stored (disk).

Cables


Cables


Connect internal components to the Motherboard, which is a board with series of electronic path ways and connections allowing the CPU to communicate with the other components of the compute

Cards

cards

Cards are components added to computers to increase their capability. When adding a pripheral device make sure that your computer has a slot of the

Case

case



The case houses the microchips and circuitry that run the computer. Desktop models usually sit under the monitor and tower medels beside. They come in many sizes, including desktop, mini, midi, and full tower. There is usually room inside to expand or add components at a later time.

Scanners

scanners

Scanners allow you to transfer pictures and photographs to your computer. A scanner 'scans' the image from the top to the bottom, one line at a time and transfers it to the computer as a series of bits or a bitmap. You can then take that image and use it in a print program, send it out as a fax or print it.

Modem

modems

A modem is used to translate information transfered through telephone lines or cable.

The term stands for modulate and demodulate which changes the signal from digital, which computers use, to analog, which telephones use and then back again. A high speed connection


also requires a modem but because the information is transfered digitally it isn't required to change the signal from digital to analog but is used to creat the connection between your computer and the computer you are connecting with.

Monitors



The monitor shows information on the screen when you type. This is called outputting information. When the computer needs more information it will display a 

Mouse


Most modern computers today are run using a mouse controlled pointer. Generally if the mouse has two buttons the left one is used to select objects and text and the right one is used to access menus. If the mouse has one button (Mac for instance) it controls

Printers



The printer takes the information on your screen and transfers it to paper or a hard copy. There are many different types of printers with various levels of quality. The three basic types of printers are; dot matrix, inkjet, and laser.
  • Dot matrix printers work like a type writer transferring ink from a ribbon to paper with a series or 'matrix' of tiny pins.
  • Ink jet printers work like dot matrix printers but fire a stream of ink from a cartridge directly onto the paper.
  • Laser printers ues the same technology as a photocopier using heat to transfer toner onto paper.

Removable Storage and/or Disk Drives

All disk need a drive to get information off - or read - and put information on the disk - or write. Each drive is designed for a specific type of disk whether it is a CD, DVD, hard disk or, floppy. Often the term 'disk' and 'drive' are used to describe the same thing but it help to understand that the disk is the storage device which contains computer files - or software - and the drive is the mechanism that runs the disk.

USB Flash drives or thumb drives work slightly differently as they use memory cards to store information on. Digital cameras also use Flash memory cards to store information, in this case photographs.
