erizon HP Mini 1151NR Netbook

Verizon Wireless’ has made a remarkable boost by bringing out their first netbook offering – the HP Mini 1151NR – is currently in the process of releasing it to the open houses. O folks, May 17 is the final launching day, so circle the date in your diary or calendar and wait ahead, until it is made public.

Surely, some people will start saying this isn’t a good commercial deal. It’s true—you’ll finish up spending between $960 and $1,440 over your 2-year contract period for data access.

To those people, we suggest buying a comparable netbook with an integrated data card ($450ish) or a comparable data-less netbook ($300ish) and a USB modem/data card off contract ($250 ish). Then pay $40 or $60 every month for data anyway.

Of course 1151NR is a stylish, capable netbook with a couple of standard features yet one problem with it is, trackpad buttons are poorly fixed. The Mini 1151NR has a keyboard that is nearly full-sized, with large keys and an extra wide layout that extends nearly to the ends of the device. That makes a big different on a small computer.

The trackpad is slightly troublesome, and the screen was a little short for our taste, but otherwise it’s a solid, well-designed machine. Verizon Wireless was also smart to add a Qualcomm Gobi chipset, which lets the netbook work on Verizon’s fast EV-DO Rev, a network at home or fast 3G HSDPA networks abroad.

Unluckily, linking to the network was a cause for pain, with some buggy, frustrating application needed to make the interlinking. Overall, Windows XP on a netbook kind of takes the fun out of it.

The HP Mini 1151NR was capable of performing any web-based task we could through at it, from streaming TV to Skype video calls to basic Web browsing, but the aging, working class OS didn’t add any excitement to this finer product category.

We would also like to see a larger HDD and maybe an extra 6 battery added in it. Finally, commercial users should take care and supervise data usage on the road, because Verizon Wireless’ limits are shallow. Price tag is USD 200.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 is a remarkable boost in the camera gadgets, produced by Panasonic – is having bundles of finer features in it. What we say, ultimately you will agree with us, that its excellent image clearly is overshadowing, few of its snappish defects.

Basically we were not that much eager to have the Limux DMC-ZS1’s interface or design, and the capabilities were not as extensive as we were expecting for. Nonetheless, the Lumix DMC-ZS1’s 12x optical zoom and 25mm wide-angle lens compelled us to smile, especially at a time when, we weren’t obligated to constantly back away into oblivion so as to fit an entire building into the frame.

Image quality in bright light was some of the best we’ve seen from a compact in this class, yet we endeavored with exposure in low light. If one the Lumix DMC-ZS1’s Starry Sky Scene mode permitted us to adjust the shutter pace in minor increments like Canon’s Long shutter mode.

For most casual shooters, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 seems to be a nice fit, though we’d strongly propose researching a little bit more, on other gadgets to get a best survey of rate, to guess the model is worth its features or not. Its price is USD 300.

Despite its one counter element, that is, its poor playback mode, this latest camera has a great bright light image quality, easy to use menus, excellent zoom and wide-angle lens fusion.

The purchase of this gadget would not prove a huge deal, of the Mode dial was solid and secure, but this thing moved, in case we breathed on it too convincingly. Every time we opened the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 from our bag, the Mode dial was set to a diverse position, mostly times residing in the unexplored horizons.

So, all the times, we tried to shoot up an image, our shutter button finger brushed up against the model dial, hauling us right out of the moment. This occurred all day, and it was beyond niggling. Lumix type of gadgets of the past highlighted an embedded Mode dial that lived away from the shutter button, and we keenly suggest that Panasonic slipped back to the success of those designs.

This latest 5530 is having a unique feature that lends 20 buddy’s close-ups, emails, phone calls, and multiple social media add-extras. Although 5530 has not reached to the open house, yet ready to tread upon the footsteps of 5800, yet in view of the fact that, it is equipped with advanced nuts and bolts, it appears that it will play major role in the open houses and attract an overwhelming number of people.

What do you expect from 5530, yet what it is lacking, I think almost all features – which you frequently need, appear provided in one phone set. Firstly it is offering remarkable and multiple features, secondly offering highly low price that is aimed not to disregard anyone in this scuttle.

This latest model is added with a 74mm (2.9-inch) touchscreen, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 70MB internal memory, that would also be added with a 4GB microSD card for recording music), a 3.5mm headphone socket, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the usual roster of mid-range Nokia add-extras.

5530 additionally lends MP3, AAC and WMA music that includes iTunes plus downloads, and basic MPEG for videos, either. 5530 is identical in many ways to its precursor 5800, firstly for its frontal look, secondly for many other functions, either. It is a matter of greater joy, that it is priced lower and making it a gadget – affordable for the mid-tier punters stratum.

So never feel grim, you will never be left with a feature of mere phone ringing – Nokia understands, cares and manages for the rest of errands of its valued punters, thus realistically speaking, what it has produced is rendering very splendid features and helps to keep you always smiling. Am I right, yeah, why not!!!

Video: T-Mobile BlackBerry 8520 sold and unboxed early

We all know there ain't no party like a Super Walmart party, 'cause the Super Walmart party don't stop. Aiding its cause in being the go-to place for night owls and bargain hunting insomniacs is the fact that it's apparently selling T-Mobile's newest BlackBerry ahead of the August 5th street date. Don't believe us? Jump on past the break for an unboxing video, and afterwards, feel free to call your nearest five Wally Worlds until you find one ready and willing to take your $48.88 (on contract).

[Thanks, Alex]

Sony's VAIO W netbook reviewed: personable and pricey, and that's pretty much it

After Sony's unorthodox VAIO P, did you really expect the outfit's first "real netbook" to burn the house down? With Microsoft's inane hardware restrictions still firmly in place on Windows XP-based netbooks, there's only so much differentiating Sony can do, and evidently those subtle tweaks didn't exactly justify the higher-than-average $499 price tag. Computer Shopper managed to give the unit a spin a few weeks prior to its US release, and while it definitely appreciated the 1,366 x 768 resolution display, the cramped keyboard, painfully lackluster 3-cell battery and commonplace performance didn't exactly elicit huge grins across the review room. Naturally, the design here is pretty notable, but with ASUS' Eee Seashell line already lookin' pretty decent for a lot less cheddar, we'd agree that Sony's going to have to do better than put a pretty face on a vanilla set of innards to get our next five Benjamins.

Free Download: SQL Injection Code Analyzer

Aug 1, 2009

Microsoft has just released a free utility to help developers analyze ASP code for SQL Injection vulnerabilities. Earlier this year, several public sites went down when hackers unleashed a series of bots to find and exploit servers where developers did not correctly code their applications/pages to prevent SQL Injection attacks.

Here’s what the utility offers (from the original page):

In response to the recent mass SQL injection attacks, Microsoft has developed a new static code analysis tool for finding SQL Injection vulnerabilities in ASP code. Web developers can run the tool on their ASP source code to identify the root cause of the attack and address them to reduce their exposure to future attacks. The tool will scan ASP source code and generate warnings related to first order and second order SQL Injection vulnerabilities. The tool also provides annotation support that can be used to improve the analysis of the code.
