Sony's certainly not letting up with its GIGA Juke line of home audio equipment. It's been nary a month since we heard from the company and now it's back with two more devices destined for Europe. Not much to get excited about here, but for an overall spec bump -- the NAS-SC500PK now pushes 100W and sports 160GB storage, support for up to five client players, a redesigned woofer (Terminator X & The Valley of Jeep Beets never sounded so raw, at least not in a basement rec room). The GIGA Juke NAS-E300HD holds steady at 60W with a more modest 80GB of storage. In addition, both feature a WM-PORT dock for that OLED Sony Walkman you've been lusting after. Look for the Juke in stores across Europe starting mid-June.
ASUS is doing its best to keep pushing that Eee PC Seashell that we peeked a few days back, but it's the heretofore unannounced gear that has caught our eye. The UX30 is a new lappie based around Intel's fresh CULV platform, though little else is known about the presumably thin-and-light machine. Moving on, we've got the MS Series display, a striking monitor that measures just 19 millimeter deep and stays put via a uniquely designed ring stand. We'll do our best to grab some face time when the Computex floor re-opens, but for now, it's just you, these words and your imagination.
You'll still need the love and support of your dear cable provider, but if you're within range of DOCSIS 3.0 service, you can bypass at least one aspect of dealing with your local monopoly ISP. Starting this week, Motorola is launching the planet's first retail DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems, which enable speeds up to four times faster than DOCSIS 2.0. The SURFboard SB6120 DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme cable modem will soon be cluttering up shelves at Fry's Electronics, presumably just beside the incredibly deceiving Monster Cable demonstration area. There's no word on price just yet, but don't expect such a luxury item to run you cheap, okay?
On a roll of late, aren't we AMD? Just when you thought the fun was slowing over in Taiwan, in flies this: the world's first official DirectX 11-friendly GPU demonstration. We also learned that DX 11 (and presumably, AMD cards to push it) will debut prior to the dawn of 2010, but outside of that, most everything else is being kept under wraps. Indeed, the demo was mostly to show that things were still on track and for the chip maker to assure us all that it will "deliver DirectX 11 first." Alright, AMD -- now you've something to prove. Full release is after the break.
AMD Demonstrates World's First Microsoft DirectX® 11 Graphics Processor
− AMD previews significant improvements to the digital media and gaming experience, commits to bring DirectX 11 to market first −
COMPUTEX 2009, Taipei - June 3, 2009 - At a press conference in Taipei, Taiwan today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) publicly demonstrated the world's first Microsoft DirectX® 11 graphics processor. The series of demonstrations shed new light on the significantly improved computing experience set to debut at the end of 2009.1 The fusion of AMD's new ground-breaking graphics processors with the forthcoming DirectX 11 programming interface is set to forever change both applications and PC gaming for the better. To illustrate, AMD showed numerous examples of faster application performance and new game features using the world's first true DirectX 11 graphics processor.
· Get ready for a revolution: Games and other applications are about to get a lot better as a result of AMD's new graphics hardware and DirectX 11. DirectX 11 features such as tessellation will bring consumers higher quality, superior performing games making use of 6th generation AMD technology. Another DirectX 11 feature, the compute shader, will enable AMD's DirectX 11 graphics cards to help make Windows 7 run faster in a wide number of applications and in a manner that's completely transparent to users, for example, in seamlessly accelerating the conversion of video for playback on portable media players through a drag-and-drop interface.2
· DirectX 11 done right on AMD: The development of DirectX 11 has been broadly influenced by AMD graphics technology. Each new version of DirectX builds on the versions that came before it, and many of the capabilities of DirectX 11 were pioneered on AMD GPUs, including DirectX 10.1, tessellation, compute shaders, Fetch4, custom filter anti-aliasing and high-definition ambient occlusion shading.
· Bringing consumers DirectX 11 sooner: The preview of the world's first DirectX 11 graphics processor at Computex 2009 validates AMD's commitment to delivering leading technologies to market before anyone else, and to continuing to foster innovation in computing.
· Fueling developer demand: It's not just consumers who are excited about the prospects of DirectX 11, game developers are also incredibly enthusiastic about taking advantage of new DirectX 11 hardware to bring even better games to market, in large part due to AMD's readiness to meet their DirectX 11 needs. Many developers have indicated their commitment to building DirectX 11 games initially on AMD's DirectX 11 hardware, delivering superior performance and compatibility.
"AMD has a long track record of delivering pioneering features that have gone on to become mainstays in the DirectX experience, and we're doing it again with two mature, AMD-developed technologies in DirectX 11 – tessellation and the compute shader – both of which enable a better DirectX 11 experience for consumers," said Rick Bergman, Senior Vice President, AMD Products Group. "Today, we're previewing AMD's DirectX 11 graphics processor to build enthusiasm for this key technology so developers will have games available at launch and shortly thereafter. With the benefits it delivers to gaming, applications and Windows 7, developers are lining up to get their hands on our hardware, and we're confident that consumers will too."
For those of you in need of a PC capable of operating in extreme conditions (anyone reading this from a mine shaft or a bunker, for instance). Getac's battle-tested and war-weary V100 convertible tablet PC has received several key upgrades, including a bump in processing power to a 1.4 GHz Intel Penryn, a front side bus increased from 533 MHz to 800 MHz, a RAM increase (bringing the total up to 4GB), and a max capacity increase from 250GB to 320GB. If that weren't enough, this bad boy now supports draft 802.11n WiFi, and lastly (but not leastly) a new UL 1604 certification (optional) ensures safe, spark-free use of the device in potentially explosive environments. Yes, that's right -- you'll soon be able to read The Onion from the shop floor at the TNT factory. No definite prices or release dates yet, but if this is up your alley you can keep an eye on your usual sources. Full PR after the break.

We knew it was coming, now the ASUS O!Play is official. The HDP-R1 HD Media Player supports HD video playback in a variety of codecs including MPEG1/2/4, H.264, VC-1, and RM/RMVB in a multitude of packages including .mp4, .mov, .avi, .divx, and .mkv just to name a few. FLAC and OGG audio? Yup, no problem. The box connects to your display over HDMI or composite A/V with an option for optical digital audio for multi-channel setups. Media can be slung off a single USB 2.0/eSATA combo port, second vanilla USB 2.0 jack, or streamed over fixed Ethernet if you prefer to keep your content on the other side of the house. Sorry, no 802.11n because, you know, everyone's home is wired with Cat 5 (riiiight). No price or release date given; but it would have to be cheap and soon for us to be even remotely interested.
Have you ever wondered How-To restrict unauthorized members to access you PC/network or have you been using costly software to restrict your children from logging to ur PC at odd times??..... If the answer is yes, then here is a solution for you that lets you set Logon hours to your PC so that you can set limits on the times a certain user account is able to logon to the computer. This tweak work for all PC's running on Windows XP.
This can be done in DOS with the use of simple yet wonderful command "net user"
Let me give you a brief intro about NET USER command. NET USER is a command used in the command console to create and modify user accounts on computers.
To do this you should have Admin. privileges.
Now, let us know How-To modify a user account by setting Logon Hours.
1)Goto Start-->Run... type cmd or command to get command prompt.
2)If you want the user account for the computer to be listed
type net user without command-line switches and press enter (see below image.Click to enlarge)
Let us know about user accounts listed..
Administrator and Guest are Built-in accounts used for administering and guest access to the computer/domain respectively.
Help Assistant is the Account For Providing Remote Assistance.
SUPPORT_xxxxxx is the vendor's account for the Help and Support Service.
By default you will be having all the above user account.
Besides these, you can create other user accounts with your desired user names as you would do.
VUSR_RAMARAOBOBBY which can be seen in the image above is the Account for the Visual Studio Analyzer server components. As I would do Visual Basic programming i got that account listed as well.
3) Now let's learn how-to set logon hours for a user account (say guest) taking an example. If you wanna do it for other accounts type that user name in place of guest in commands below..
at the command prompt when you type as below
net user Guest /time:M-Su,8am-10am
you made the Guest account to logon only between 8am-10am daily.(coz we have give interval as M-Su)
day codes as follows Monday -M Tuesday -T Wednesday-W Thursday-Th Friday - F Saturday- Sa Sunday -Su
(as DOS is not case sensitive you can use small or capital letters)
Hours can be mentioned 12-hour or 24-hour notation. For 12-hour notation,use am, pm. While representing time in 24-hour notation use as 08:00 - 10:00
Note:: only sharp values are accepted for time & Separate day and time entries with a comma
4) To set logon hours at different times for the same day use ; as separator
and To set logon hours at different times for different days use : as separator
for example if you want to set logon hours between 8am-10am and 2pm-5pm daily then type the command as follows
net user /time:M-Su,8am-10am;M-Su,2pm-5pm
likewise if its for different days use : in place of ;
Note:: When you have given the command correctly then a message saying The Command Completed Successfully will appear after press enter.
and After setting logon hours when you try to logon outside the time interval given , it asks for a password and wont allow you to logon even though you type the correct password. (as in image below, click to enlarge)
5) To disable this feature and make user log on always type as below
net user /time:all
6) To restrict the user to never logon use blank in place of all..
net user /time:
As i have said earlier The command completed successfully message comes when you typed the command correctly (as shown)
Try this on your PC.. n post comments...
Note:: The command can restrict user from logging in but cannot initiate a log off when account is in opened state.

don't need to have an expansive media PC to have a great digital home experience.
You can connect any home computer to your TV very simply and cheaply and I am gonna show you how to do it.
There are two things that we have to connect namely (i) Audio & (ii)Video
First lets connect the video.
Most newer TV's are basically plug and play right out of the box, so look on the back pannel of your TV for one of the following ports. Now look at your computer back pannel connections. Most use VGA to connect to monitor. So you will need a Standard VGA Cable as below image to connect your TV to your PC.
You can easily find one online from or you can get it from your nearest electronic store or buy it from amazon link below.
For MAC users The MAC mini has a DVI connection with a VGA display adapter, so that can be connected automatically using VGA cable. You just have to buy a VGA male to male cable. Order it from here easily or get it from your nearest electronic store.
NOTE:: If you have been watching TV and wanna switch to computer input, you need to change from TV to RGB mode on your TV.
Now, if you TV doesn't have VGA or DVI then look for S-video or RCA. Go back to your computer and if you have TV out, you may have either one or both of these outputs. So use the appropriate RCA or S-video cable to connect.
If your computer doesn't have TV-out, you can buy a VGA to TV converter. You can order it from here or buy in any of your nearest electronic store. This just converts your computers VGA output into either RCA compatible or S-video based on your TV. But the picture quality is not as good as using VGA or DVI. DVI stands for Digital Video Interface and it give the best quality closely followed by VGA.
Now, If you want to be able to switch back and forth from a normal monitor to your TV without unplugging the cable, you will also need a KVM switch. As shown in above image connect VGA port A to your monitor and VGA Port B to your TV and connect I/O Video port to your computer. The other two ports given under each video are just for a keyboard or mouse connection. So you need not worry about that.
You can pick this KVM switch or 4-Port MiniView PC PS/2 KVM Switch Kit with Cables(PS/2) from here...
Note::If you are having an old model TV you won't be having any of the ports above except a single RF connector. In that case you have to buy RF audio_S-video modulator to accomplishes our task of connecting TV to PC. You can get one online from here
