Toshiba Satellite Pro U400

The Satellite Pro U400 it is 13.3" notebook gives business users or standard consumers another notebook option if they really like the size and features of the Satellite U405, but don't want the "Look at Me!" glossy finish.

Toshiba U400 had the following specifications:

• Windows XP Professional (SP2)
• Intel T8100 Penryn (2.1GHz) Processor
• 13.3" WXGA 1280x800 TruBrite Display (Glossy)
• Intel X3100 Integrated Graphics
• Intel Pro 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g) and Bluetooth V2.1 +EDR
• 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM (maximum capacity 4GB)
• 160GB 5400rpm Toshiba Hard Drive
• DVD SuperMulti (+/-R double layer) drive
• 1.3 megapixel webcam
• Stereo speakers
• Fingerprint reader
• Dimensions (WxDxH Front/H Rear): 12.4" x 9.02" x 1.08" /1.38" with feet
• Weight: 4.61lbs with six-cell battery
• 75W (19V x 3.95A) 100-240V AC Adapter
• 6-cell (4800mAh) Lithium Ion battery
• 1-Year Standard Limited Warranty
• Price as configured: $1,049.99

The U400's stylish design features a 2-tone color scheme of matte silver on black. Many of the traditionally-square notebook features have been softened with round edges. The overall style is carried onto the keyboard and touchpad areas with both reflecting the shape of the notebook itself. Once the factory stickers are removed from the palmrest areas, the notebook's design blends into a cohesive whole.

The 13.3" WXGA screen found on the Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 rates average, and came with no problems or defects. The screen was dead/stuck pixel free during our review period, and was sealed well enough to prevent any major backlight leakage. The screen backlight was powerful enough to allow comfortable viewing in an office setting with as low as 40-50% backlight brightness level. The backlight levels were even throughout the screen, without any backlight bleed showing through, even on the lower edge of the taskbar.

he keyboard found on the Satellite Pro U400 was very good for a notebook of this size. The keyboard stayed in place while typing, even under heavy pressure. Very little sagging was present during our testing, although the left side did have a smidgen more movement than the right side.

The touchpad rated average with accurate finger tracking use, but lacked many customization features. Although the touchpad was a Synaptics model, the menus did not allow for any adjustment for sensitivity, scrolling, or additional functions. The lack of scrolling was my biggest complaint, since no notebook on the market right now lacks that ability. The touchpad buttons were smooth and easy to trigger, with a shallow and soft click when pressed.

Speaker performance on the little Satellite Pro U400 is rather weak, with really dinky speakers located in front of the screen hinges. They work well for mild music listening or system notifications, but lack all low and midrange audio. The better alternative choice is using a nice pair of headphones and the headphone jack.

Port selection was about average for a notebook of this size, although it would have been nice to see S-Video or HDMI. Toshiba teased us with a blank HDMI port location, possibly hinting at a future model that offers it, perhaps with dedicated graphics as well.

• ExpressCard slot (ExpressCard/34 and Express Card/54)
• 10/100 Ethernet
• 56k Modem
• 5-in-1 media card reader
• VGA out
• Microphone input port
• Headphone output port
• IEEE-1394 (FireWire)
• Three USB 2.0 ports

Left: VGA, CPU Exhaust, 2 USB, Firewire, ExpressCard/54, Headphone/Mic








Right: Optical Drive, 1 USB, Modem, LAN, Kensington Lock Slot








Front: 5-1 Media Reader, Volume Control Knob, Wireless On/Off






Thermal performance was above average, with the notebook running cool and quiet the majority of the time. During normal activity the only part of the system you could hear was the hard drive. When the notebook got hot enough to turn on the fan, noise was minimal, and around whisper levels.

The Toshiba Satellite U400 gives business users a solid feature list and moderate performance.

PANASONIC’S COMPACT WI-FI LUMIX DIGITAL CAMERA

UPLOADS PHOTOS TO GOOGLE’S PICASA WEB ALBUMS VIA T-MOBILE HOTSPOT SERVICE.

Panasonic introduced a new addition to its award-winning TZ-family of digital cameras, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ50. Complete with Wi-Fi capabilities, standard 802.11b/g wireless LAN connectivity and access to T-Mobile® HotSpot service, users can upload digital photos taken with the TZ50 directly to Picasa Web Albums, a free online photo-sharing service from Google. The 9.1 megapixel TZ50 is packed with a 28mm wide-angle lens, 10x optical zoom and the ability to record HD video, making it the ideal digital camera for active users.

Panasonic uses the T-Mobile Hotspot service and Picasa Web Albums’ APIs to create a new optimal online environment and community for sharing digital photos. After taking photos with the new Panasonic LUMIX TZ50, users will be able to wirelessly send one or even multiple photos at a time, directly to Google’s Picasa Web Albums. Users can connect to standard wireless home networks. In addition the TZ50 can also connect to the T-Mobile HotSpot Service, which provides fast and reliable Wi-Fi Internet access at more than 8,800 public locations throughout the United States, including Borders® Books & Music stores, Hyatt Hotels and many major airports.

Users can simply register one email account with their TZ50, so after uploading their photos to Picasa Web Albums, they can have the URL to that album sent to the registered account. Since many cell phones and smartphones receive emails, users can register their own email address and then forward that Picasa Web Album’s URL to friends and family, without using a computer. In addition, users can browse their albums to confirm that photos have been successfully uploaded, and choose to delete uploaded photos directly on the digital camera.

When in Advanced Intelligent Auto mode, the following technologies all operate automatically; the user does not need to change any settings:

• Intelligent Exposure – Photos will no longer be under- or over-exposed. Instead, the TZ50 instantly analyses the framed image and adjusts the brightness in areas that are too dark because of dim lighting, backlighting, or the use of the flash. The camera will automatically adjust the brightness accordingly.
• Digital Red-eye Correction– Helps eliminate the red-eye problem that sometimes results when taking flash shots at night. Incorporated into the built-in flash, the camera emits a small preliminary flash before the main flash which detects red-eye and digitally corrects it.
• MEGA O.I.S. – Gyrosensors detect hand-shake and the lens system shifts to compensate, helping to prevent blurry images.
• Intelligent ISO – Determines if the photo subject is moving and changes the ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly.
• Intelligent Scene Selector – Senses the ambient conditions, recognises the shooting environment and will automatically select the appropriate scene mode from: Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode. This intuitive technology helps the consumer use the most common scene modes that are built into the camera, but often go unused, without making any manual adjustments.
• Face Detection – Detects faces anywhere in the frame and automatically chooses the optimal focus and exposure settings so that portraits come out clear and crisp. Detecting up to 15 faces, Panasonic’s Face Detection can even track a face if the subject is moving.
• Continuous AF – The Continuous AF (auto focus) system maintains focus on the subject even without pressing a shutter button halfway, thus minimizing the AF time.

Once the user is in iA mode, these multi-capable functions happen automatically, no adjustments or changes to setting need to be made. Furthermore, the DMC-TZ50 boasts Intelligent LCD function, which detects the lighting condition and controls the brightness level of the LCD in 11 fine steps, to offer a display with excellent clarity in any situation with the newly developed 460,000-dot high resolution in 3.0-inch LCD screen.

Linux: Introduction to the command line

People can interact with computers running Linux in two ways -- using the graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line interface (CLI). By learning a few fundamentals, you can use the command line to accomplish miracles.

Often, a graphical interface is the best, if not the only, way to go: the most common example is advanced photo editing. A mouse-only approach, however, can be extremely limiting. In a graphical interface you only find the buttons that somebody else considered necessary.

Above all, you must be there to push them, so it may be impossible to automate anything but the simplest button sequences. If doing something requires just three mouse clicks, doing it 100 times may require 300 mouse clicks. Doing the same thing at the CLI, however, would be just require an action loop. This command, for example, is all you need to find all the JPG images in the current folder and place a thumbnail of each of them in /tmp/thumbnails/:

for picture in `find . -name "*jpg"`; do convert -sample 80x40 $picture /tmp/thumbnails/$picture ; done

ou can get to the CLI in two ways. The first is the standard Linux console, which you'll see if your system isn't running X or if you switch to one of the virtual consoles while X is running. Everything you enter at the command line is interpreted by the shell, which is a program that interprets and executes commands run at the command line or read from a script. The default shell on most Linux distributions is the Bourne again shell, or bash.

Data and variables made only of text are also called strings.

Every time you type a command, the shell does one of two things. If the first argument -- that is, the first sequence of non-whitespace characters -- is the name of a program, then the shell launches that program, passing as arguments to it everything you wrote after that string.

If what you typed isn't a program name, the shell interprets it as a command. The shell also has a simple programming language built in, with the possibility to read or create files and many reserved words associated to the most common functions and operations. For example, cd means "change directory," pwd means "print the name of the current working directory," and history lists the most recent commands you typed.

Shells are extremely powerful also thanks to another feature: any sequence of commands can be saved to a plain text file and executed again, any time you wish, without retyping everything. All you have to do is to write as the first line in that file the string:

#! /bin/bash

This tells the system that the rest of the file should be directly interpreted by bash. You must also make the file executable with the chmod command:

  chmod 755 my_shell_script_file

This form of programming, called scripting, may be all you ever need to fully customize your Linux computer.

Many Linux commands and programs have documentation available right at the command line. When you need to know how some program works or what are its options, type man or info followed by the program name, and most of times you'll have the answer

The best documentation freely available online to help you become a shell guru is probably the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide. As far as quick and practical tips go, instead, there are plenty of them in the "CLI Magic" series on Linux.com. Some are related to system administration, from knowing what is happening in your computer to automating file searches and other operations or discovering malware. Desktop-wise, is is possible to access a Bluetooth phone or manage your contacts.

SSD Performance

Unlike traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) with moving parts that are prone to failure and data loss when they receive an impact, Solid State Drives (SSDs) are flash-based storage drives with no moving parts. Notebooks tend to get "torture tested" in most corporate environments when the sales force tosses their laptops inside their cars or staff drop their notebooks off the edge of a table during a crowded meeting. The Samsung 64GB SSD in our test configuration (an $849 upgrade) helps eliminate the risk of data loss due to rugged treatment.

The other benefit of these SSDs is the extreme level of performance and reduced heat output compared to traditional HDDs.

Hewlett-Packard iPAQ h2210 PDA

Hewlett-Packard' new line of PDAs demonstrates the manufacturer's flexibility in designing models of different levels, and perfectly meets the needs of respective groups of users. The h2210, is a typical workhorse that combines a utilitarian feature-rich design and a moderate price. The iPAQ h2210 is an inexpensive PDA (priced at around $350) based on the Pocket PC platform, equipped with a 400MHz XScale processor, integrated Bluetooth adapter and two slots for SD/MMC and CompactFlash cards.

The design of the HP iPAQ h2210 reminds that of the most popular mainstream PDA - Dell Axim X5. But HP's product looks more elegant and follows the style of top iPAQ models. Also, the h2210 is smaller than the X5, and generally looks better.

On the side panels you can see nonslip coating which makes this PDA similar to the Dell Axim. It's not rubber but something like kapron or polyethylene with a velvety texture. It's more slippery than rubber but less than hard plastic. You feel more confident with such coating when holding this PDA in your hands. Maybe this is just a psychological effect, but anyway, it's very pleasant to handle this device.



In front you can see standard 4 application short-cut buttons and a 5-way joystick. The joystick easily tilts in all directions, but it's a bit tough to press, that is why there's a certain risk of incorrect response - if you press it not right in the center, the joystick may tilt rather than go down. In all other respects, it's pleasant in use. Above you can see a power button recessed into the PDA body so that you don't press it occasionally, and charge and Bluetooth LEDs.

The screen is made of a standard transreflective TFT matrix of the standard resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and 65,535 colors.

The PDA is powered by a Li-Ion 900 mAh battery is flat and can be removed.

In the box you can find the PDA itself, a charger, a USB cradle, documentation and a software CD.

Use Portable Firefox, ThunderBird, FileZilla, and Pidgin Over SSH Using Any USB Drive

In this guide we're going to provide you with step-by-step instructions on how you can browse, email, FTP & IM over SSH on your USB drive.

DISCLAIMER: This guide is intended to help you secure your PortableApps traffic over unprotected networks. It will NOT help you perform questionable activities, protect you from monitoring software, or keyloggers. We are not responsible for any lost data, damages, or errors which result in misconfiguration of your system. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK - IF YOU BORK YOUR SYSTEM WE CAN NOT HELP YOU. This guide probably doesn't even work and should be used by absolutely no one.

That said, throughout this guide, we will tell you to type stuff. When you actually type do NOT include the quotes. For example, if we say type "1234" you should type 1234 and not include the quotes.

• Step 1: Download the PortableApps Suite

Download and install the PortableApps Suite (Standard) on your USB drive. (The suite takes several minutes to install - select the drive you want to install to, and leave the default settings selected.) When finished click on "StartPortableApps.exe" in the root of your USB drive. This will launch the PortableApps menu which will appear in your System Tray.

• Step 2: Download PuTTY Portable

Next, download and install the PuTTY Portable SSH client to your USB drive. Save the file to your desktop and then from the PortableApps menu select "Options - Install a New App." Select the downloaded file (named something like "PuTTY_Portable_0.60_Rev_3.paf.exe") and follow the install instructions.

• Step 3: Configure PuTTY Portable for Dynamic Tunneling

This step assumes you already have an SSH account. If you don't, there are plenty of places where you can get one (like here.) Chances are if you have a Linux web host, they offer you SSH access already.

1) Click on the PortableApps menu, and run PuTTY Portable.
2) Type in your host name, and then in the left hand menu select "Connection - SSH - Tunnels."
3) In the "Source Port" box type 7070 and click the "Dynamic" radio button. Click "Add" and confirm you see the text "D7070" in the text box under "Forwarded ports."
4) Click on "Session" in the left hand menu and under "Saved Sessions" type the name for your session (I usually just type the hostname).
5) Click the "Save" button.

• Step 4: Configure Firefox Portable for Secure Browsing

Launch Portable Firefox from the Portable Apps menu. Download and install FoxyProxy, and then restart Firefox.

1) Click on the PortableApps menu, and click on Firefox Portable.
2) Click on "Tools - FoxyProxy - Options." Click on the "Add New Proxy" button.
3) Type "Secure SSH" in the "Proxy Name" box.
4) Click on the "Proxy Details" tab. Make sure "Manual Proxy Configuration" is selected, and type "127.0.0.1" in the "Host Name" box. In the "Port" box type "7070" and then click the "Socks Proxy?" radio button. Leave the default value of "SOCKS v5" selected.
5) Click the "OK" button to close the FoxyProxy settings window. Close the FoxyProxy Options window.
6) In the Firefox address bar, type "about:config" and hit Enter. You will see a list of configuration options for Firefox.
7) In the Filter box type "dns" and look for the "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" setting. By default it is set to "False." You want it to be set to "True," so double click on the value to change it.
8) From "Tools - FoxyProxy" in Firefox select "Secure SSH" to enable SSH browsing.

• Step 5: Configure Portable Thunderbird for Secure Email

The first time you launch Portable Thunderbird it should step you through a wizard to setup your email. You can either follow the wizard or cancel out.

1) Launch Portable Thunderbird from the PortableApps menu.
2) Follow or cancel out of the setup wizard. (If you cancel you'll want to setup your email later of course.)
3) Click on "Tools - Options - Advanced" and click on the "Config Editor" button.
4) In the "Filter" box type "proxy" without the quotes. You will now see three settings highlighted.
5) Double click on "network.proxy.socks" and enter "127.0.0.1" in the box, and click "Ok."
6) Double click on "network.proxy.socks_port" and enter "7070" in the box, and click "Ok."
7) Double click on "network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" to change the value from "False" to "True" and then close the Config Editor window.

(You may be wondering why we're selecting "Remote DNS" in all these settings. If this setting was not selected, your apps would use your local DNS which would leave a trace of where you'd been surfing in the DNS logs of the servers on the local network. By selecting remote DNS, you are now using the remote DNS servers on your SSH host which will not show up in local DNS logs.)

• Step 6: Configure Portable Filezilla for Secure FTP

Download and install Portable Filezilla using the same method that you used to install PuTTY Portable, and start Portable Filezilla.

1) In Portable Filezilla click "Edit - Settings" and in the left hand menu, click on "Proxy Settings" under "Connection."
2) Select the "SOCKS5 Proxy" radio button and for host enter "127.0.0.1" and for "Port" enter "7070" then click the "Ok" button.

• Step 7: Configure Portable Pidgin for Secure IM

Download and install Portable Pidgin using the same method that you used to install Portable Filezilla and Portable PuTTY.

1) Click on "Tools - Preferences" and click on the "Network" tab.
2) Under the "Proxy Server" section select "SOCKS 5" from the drop down menu. Enter "127.0.0.1" for "Host" and "7070" for Port.
3) Click the "Close" button.

• Step 8: Launch your SSH Session

Launch PuTTY Portable from the PortableApps menu. Double click on your saved SSH session and login with your SSH username and password. Minimize your SSH window.

• Step 9: Test your apps!

Whew! If you've made it this far, gratz! In Portable Firefox go to http://www.whatismyip.com and have a look at the IP address listed. Then select "Tools - FoxyProxy" and select "Completely disable FoxyProxy" and hit refresh. The first IP address listed is the IP of your SSH host, and the second is your local IP.

If you configured everything correctly, you should be able to now switch back to "Secure SSH" in Portable Firefox and browse over your SSH tunnel, effectively shielding your traffic from the local network. Now launch ThunderBird, Filezilla, and Pidgin and configure your accounts. Your PortableApps traffic for the apps your configured is now being routed over your SSH tunnel which helps shield usernames, passwords, and sites visited from any prying eyes on unsecure networks.

We strongly recommend using a fast USB drive with security features. No sense in carrying all your personal browsing around without securing it right? We've personally tested ATP Petito and Sandisk Cruzer drives, and both offer high transfer rates and security features. If you're looking for enterprise level security, consider using an IronKey USB drive which utilizes hardware encryption to secure the data on your USB drive. The drives we recommend are listed below.

To secure your data even further, we suggest giving Folder Lock a try. Folder Lock uses 256-bit BLOWFISH encryption and we've used it before to secure data on external USB drives.

Mandriva 2008.1 Spring Review

Mandriva 2008.1 Spring GNOME

Mandriva (when it was called Mandrake) it was solid, it was pretty, and it made Linux feel welcoming and fun. If one thing can be said throughout the releases since Mandrake 8, it's that whatever the company name might have been the distribution has remained consistently pleasant to look at.

Software selection is OpenOffice, GIMP, Firefox, and Pidgin were present. Neither Java nor GCC were installed by default on this one either. Innotek Virtualbox (VM software) was on the disc. Game in 3D, there is OpenArena, Wormux, Frozen-Bubble and Chromium.

Unfortunately, neither Java nor GCC were installed by default on this one either. Eclipse was included on the DVD, but without a proper version of Java that make dead in the water for work-related programming.

Ubuntu is Linux distribution for desktops, laptops, and servers. It has consistently been rated among the most popular of the many Linux distributions.

"Ubuntu" is ancient African word that means "humanity to others", "we are people because of other people", or "I am who I am because of who we all are", though other meanings have been suggested.

Ubuntu is sponsored by Canonical Ltd, owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth.

Kubuntu and Xubuntu are official subprojects of the Ubuntu project, aiming to bring the KDE and Xfce desktop environments, respectively, to the Ubuntu core (by default Ubuntu uses GNOME for its desktop environment). Edubuntu is an official subproject designed for school environments, and should be equally suitable for children to use at home.
