Nvidia GeForce 500M details and compare at CES 2011

Nvidia GeForce 500M details and compare at CES 2011
The Santa Clara company�s official launch of the series of Nvidia GeForce 500, evolution of GeForce 400M. The leap in performance compared to the past should not be exciting. Find out the details.

Basically, the series of Nvidia GeForce 500M video cards are the evolution of the GeForce 400M previous range. From this inherit the CUDA chip same 96-core (except for the top model of the category with 144 Core) and the bus for the memory to 128 bits, just as happens, for example, the GeForce GT 435m. This, in essence, suggests that the manufacturer has not intervened massively on the technology, preferring to exploit the existing know-how, before moving on to solutions made by different production systems.

Compare to the previous series, Nvidia GeForce 500M offers a frequency of 672 MHz for the GPU, which become 1344 MHz shader and 900 MHz for memory. These, in essence, are the main technical data for the model said Nvidia GeForce GT 540M of the mainstream. Taking as a reference, however, the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce GT 555m, these values are equal, respectively, at 590, 900 and 1180 MHz but the memory bus is 192 bits.

Despite these circumstances, it is not a line to fail, quite the contrary. Remains to be seen, in fact, the large number of integrated technologies that make it pretty interesting even before evaluating its performance on the field, is not an impartial referee. The GeForce 500M series supports, as expected, DirectX11 graphics libraries and is therefore suitable to deal with multimedia and games without too many problems. There are also 3D Vision and PhysX technology, already known and seen in previous models.

To underline the support that Optimus feature, remember, manages activation of dedicated video card compared to the controller integrated into a computing system when conditions so require. Differently, is to safeguard the autonomy and reduced fuel consumption. The new line of GPU models include the GeForce GT 540M, GT 550M and GT 555M notebook dedicated to high-performance and GeForce GT 520M and 525M for mainstream systems.

Nvidia GeForce GT 540M, which is actually one of the most interesting models, should be available in the coming weeks on the Chinese market initially before moving on to other international markets. Have in common the same fate as the other models in the series. Simultaneously, the manufacturer also introduced the GeForce GTX 485M characterized by frequencies of 575 MHz for the GPU�s shader and memory work, respectively, to 1,150 and 750 MHz but the most interesting feature is the number of CUDA Core equal to 384 and the 256-bit memory bus.

Samsung LN46C600 LCD Television Review

Samsung LN46C600 LCD Television Review
Samsung has offered up plenty of televisions in all subclasses, so it�s always worth taking a look at them. You never know when you�ll be out looking at televisions, find a Samsung, and want to know if it�s worth your time. That�s why we�re looking at the Samsung LN46C600, an LCD that will have plenty to offer and do so at a good price, to boot.

The Samsung LN46C600 is a forty six inch 1080p LCD television that offers a 120 Hz refresh rate to reduce blurring in high speed images, the Wide Color Enhancer systems to improve color presentation, BD Wise to automatically adjust the relevant settings on your peripherals to get the best possible image out of them, two ten watt speakers, ConnectShare Movie to access content on thumb drives and digital cameras directly, four HDMI ports, two component inputs and one PC input.

Again, we�re short on the basics here�we�ve got a great picture and somewhat weaker sound quality (you�ll note there are plenty of augmentations to the picture but not near so much to the speakers), and you�ll get more than enough ports for your various needs, whether you need newer ports or old. Get this thing hooked up to even the most rudimentary of home theater speaker systems and you should be doing just fine here.

It�s a little hard to look at a television that doesn�t offer the next generation of capability, no streaming here at all, but it will still do a nice job of providing your current needs, whether they be older or newer, just not the very newest.

And you�ll even be able to find this one at a pretty nice price�in two different places you can find this at seven hundred ninety seven dollars, and that�s not a terrible price for a television slightly larger than the smallest of the big screens.

The Samsung LN46C600 isn�t the best you�ll find, but it will do a pretty nice job with most anything you�ll need it for. It�s surprisingly impressive for a smaller large television, and it will definitely put a punch in your home theater system.

iPhone 5 in 2012?

Apple closed the door this morning on any speculation that it would announce new hardware at its Worldwide Developers conference saying it would focus on iOS and Mac OS.
Apple�s apparent focus on
software in its WWDC announcement backs up what my own sources are saying about the annual conference. That is, expect a software show in 2011, not a hardware event.�


  • Thus, this news crushed all hopes for the iPhone fans to get their hands on iPhone 5 this June.
  • If there is no news regarding manufacturing of its parts, we will not be seeing it even the end of this year. Most probably sometime next year (2012).
  • It�s either Apple is cooking up a much better features for the iPhone 5 or trying to resolve the manufacturing issues.
  • Either way, I am also quite disappointed. I was really hoping to get Apple new gadget this year (since I am not getting the iPad 2).
  • What about you, guys? Disappointed too?

    Canon IXUS and PowerShot Rely on Creative Features

    In the midst of competition in a stadium that is more strict pocket camera, the quality of the images between the camera and the other one brand may not be too noticeable difference. Therefore, the enrichment of features Canon's choice as a factor of differentiation with its competitors.

    In brand-new family member IXUS and PowerShot SX series, namely IXUS310 HS, IXUS220 HS, IXUS115 HS, and the PowerShot SX230 HS, for example, Canon sank a number of creative features.

    One of them, features Movie Digest. With this feature, the cameras automatically record the video as far as 4 seconds before each photo shots. This feature also automatically will always do the storage of photos and video taken in one day in a folder at the same time making it easy to find.

    "Movie Features Digest was first introduced as Canon's commitment to creating high quality products and pampering users in capturing precious moments intact without missing the beginning," said Merry Harun (Director of the Division of Canon PT Datascrip).

    Latest generation of Canon IXUS and PowerShot SX also features HS System and the DIGIC imaging processor to record high quality images even in low light conditions, features Creative Filters which include six photo effects (Toy Camera, Fish-eye, Super Vivid, Posters, Miniature, Monochrome ), and features Smart Auto to detect 32 different scene.

    In addition, the ranks of the Canon IXUS and PowerShot SX can record video with the quality of Full High Definition (HD) 1920x1080 with Stereo Sound.

    Canon also launched five types of compact cameras the PowerShot A series, the A3300 IS, A3200 IS, A2200 and A1200. In the fifth model, there are features Live Control to provide a quick and easy flexibility in adjusting the brightness (from dark to light), color saturation (neutral to bright) and the tonal range (give the impression of cold to warm).

    Except for A800, this brand-new series PowerShot cameras also offer the ability to record High Definition resolution video (HD) 1280x720.

    Moire Seconds

    This watch concept by designer Zoltan B. Kecskemeti gets it's name from the moire animation style that it uses to create the illusion that the image on the face is changing. The mask replaces the second hand and gradually reveals different parts of the clock face as time passes. Clock faces come in the form of a blinking kitty, roman to arabic numerals, or my personal favorite- the beating heart

    Madden NFL 12 Goes on, Even Without an NFL Season

    Madden NFL is the most widely played football videogame. Owned by EA (Electronic Arts), Madden NFL has gone through 22 versions, and Madden NFL 12, set to be released August 2011, will be the 23rd.

    Currently the NFL Player's Association and the NFL are in a dispute, and if the two sides do not come to an agreement within the next few months, the 2011-2012 season will not be played.

    EA says they plan on releasing Madden NFL 12, as usual in August, even if the 2011-2012 season is not played.

    CNET got an interview with Rob Semsey, EA Sports' director of public relations. "Fans of Madden NFL will not have their seasons interrupted, regardless of when the labor issues are resolved. We plan to release Madden NFL 12 in August as usual." said Rob.

    Two problems may come with releasing Madden NFL 12 without a real NFL season to back it up. One of the issues with this is that some players have left their teams at the end of last season, but have not been signed with another team yet. EA would probably replace the players with generic ones, or maybe keep the same rosters as last year.

    Another possible problem is EA's bottom line. Although EA has not said how their bottom line would be affected if there was no season this year, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter told The Hollywood Reporter last week that Madden sales heavily depend on the NFL season. Pachter said that if there is no season this year, it could "cost Madden around 50% of sales."

    Remove System Tool and SystemTool (Uninstall Guide)

    What this infection does:
    System Tool is a computer infection from the same family as Security Tool. This infection is also categorized as a rogue anti-spyware program as it pretends to be an anti-virus program, but is actually a program that displays fake security alerts and scan results in order to make you think your computer is infected. System Tool is installed through the use of malware that will install the program onto your computer without your knowledge or permission. When installed, the infection files will be created in a random named folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in XP, or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\, in Windows Vista and Windows 7. It will then be configured to start automatically when you login to your computer.


    System Tool screen shot

    For more screen shots of this infection click on the image above.
    There are a total of 7 images you can view.

    Once running it will scan your computer and state that there are numerous infections present, but will not allow you to remove them until you purchase the program. It is important to understand that SystemTool is scripted to display fake scan results regardless of whether or not your computer is infected. Therefore, please do not be concerned if this program states you are infected. System Tool will also terminate any executables that you attempt to run in order to protect itself from being removed. When you attempt to run any program, it will terminate that program's process and then display a message similar to the following:
    Warning!
    Application cannot be executed. The file cmd.exe is infected.
    Please activate your antivirus software.

    Just like the scan results, this message is fake and should be ignored.
    While System Tool is running it will also display fake security alerts and warnings from your Windows taskbar. These alerts are designed to scare you into thinking that your computer is severely infected and that you should purchase the program to protect yourself. The text of these messages include:
    System Tool Warning
    Your PC is infected with dangerous viruses. Activate antivirus protection to prevent data loss and avoid the theft of your credit card details.
    Click here to activate protection.

    System Tool Warning
    Intercepting programs that may compromise your private and harm your system have been detected on your PC.
    Click here to remove them immediately with System Tool.

    Security Monitor: WARNING!
    Attention: System detected a potential hazard (TrojanSPM/LX) on your computer that may infect executable files. Your private information and PC safety is at risk. To get rid of unwanted spyware and keep your computer safe you need to update your current security software.
    CLick Yes to download official intrusion detection system (IDS software).

    Warning: Your computer is infected
    Windows has detected spyware infection!
    Click this message to install the last update of Windows security software...

    This infection will also change the background of your Windows desktop to display the following over-the-top, and almost insensible, warning:
    Warning!
    Your're in Danger!
    Your Computer is infected with Spyware!
    All you do with your computer is stored forever in your hard disk. When you visit sites, send emails... All your actions are logged. And it is impossible to remove them with standard tools. Your data is still available for forensics, and in some cases
    For your boss, your friends, your wife, your children. Every site you or somebody or even something, like spyware, opened in your browsers, with all the images, and all the downloaded and maybe later removed movies or mp3 songs - ARE STILL THERE and could break your life!
    Secure yourself right now!
    Removal all spyware from your PC!
    Just like the fake scan results and warning messages, you should not be alarmed with this message as they just tactics that the malware writer is using to try and scare you into purchasing the System Tool program.
    As you can see, System Tool was created solely to make you think that your computer is infected so that you will then buy the program. It goes without saying that you should definitely not buy System Tool, and if you already have, please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges stating that the program is a scam and a computer virus. To remove System Tool and other related malware, please use the free removal guide below.

    Guide Updates:
    10/21/10 - Initial guide creation.


    Automated Removal Instructions for System Tool using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:

    1. Print out these instructions as we may need to close every window that is open later in the fix.

    2. It is possible that the infection you are trying to remove will not allow you to download files on the infected computer. If you run into this problem when following the steps in this guide you will need to download the files requested in this guide on another computer and then transfer them to the infected computer. You can transfer the files via a CD/DVD, external drive, or USB flash drive.

    3. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode with Networking using the instructions for your version of Windows found in the following tutorial:
      How to start Windows in Safe Mode
      When following the steps in the above tutorial, select Safe Mode with Networking rather than just Safe Mode. When the computer reboots into Safe Mode with Networking make sure you login with the username you normally use. When you are at your Windows desktop, please continue with the rest of the steps.

    4. This infection changes your Windows settings to use a proxy server that will not allow you to browse any pages on the Internet with Internet Explorer or update security software. Regardless of the web browser you use, for these instructions we will first need need to fix this problem so that we can download the utilities we need to remove this infection.

      Please start Internet Explorer, and when the program is open, click on the Tools menu and then select Internet Options as shown in the image below.



      Internet Explorer Tools Menu


    5. You should now be in the Internet Options screen as shown in the image below.



      Internet Options screen



      Now click on the Connections tab as designated by the blue arrow above.

    6. You will now be at the Connections tab as shown by the image below.


      Internet Options connections tab



      Now click on the Lan Settings button as designated by the blue arrow above.

    7. You will now be at the Local Area Network (LAN) settings screen as shown by the image below.



      Proxy Settings screen



      Under the Proxy Server section, please uncheck the checkbox labeled Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then press the OK button to close this screen. Then press the OK button to close the Internet Options screen. Now that you have disabled the proxy server you will be able to browse the web again with Internet Explorer.

    8. Now we must end the processes that belong to System Tool so that it does not interfere with the cleaning procedure. To do this, please download RKill to your desktop from the following link.

      RKill Download Link - (Download page will open in a new tab or browser window.)

      When at the download page, click on the Download Now button labeled iExplore.exe download link. When you are prompted where to save it, please save it on your desktop.

      If you are unable to connect to the site to download RKill, please go back and do steps 3-6 again and make sure the infection has not reenabled the proxy settings. You may have to do this quite a few times before you can get RKill downloaded. If you still cannot download the RKill program on the infected computer, you should download it to a clean computer and copy it to the infected one via a USB flash drive or CDROM.

    9. Once it is downloaded, double-click on the iExplore.exe icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with System Tool and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program looks for various malware programs and ends them. When it has finished, the black window will automatically close and you can continue with the next step. If you get a message that RKill is an infection, do not be concerned. This message is just a fake warning given by System Tool when it terminates programs that may potentially remove it. If you run into these infections warnings that close RKill, a trick is to leave the warning on the screen and then run RKill again. By not closing the warning, this typically will allow you to bypass the malware trying to protect itself so that RKill can terminate System Tool . So, please try running RKill until the malware is no longer running. You will then be able to proceed with the rest of the guide. Do not reboot your computer after running RKill as the malware programs will start again.

      If you continue having problems running RKill, you can download the other renamed versions of RKill from the RKill download page. Both of these files are renamed copies of RKill, which you can try instead. Please note that the download page will open in a new browser window or tab.


    10. Now you should download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, or MBAM, from the following location and save it to your desktop:

      Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Download Link (Download page will open in a new window)

      If you are unable to connect to the site to download Malwarebytes', please go back and do steps 3-6 again and make sure the infection has not reenabled the proxy settings.

    11. Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer, including this one.

    12. Double-click on the icon on your desktop named mbam-setup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.

    13. When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, make sure you leave both the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware checked. Then click on the Finish button. If MalwareBytes' prompts you to reboot, please do not do so.

    14. MBAM will now automatically start and you will see a message stating that you should update the program before performing a scan. As MBAM will automatically update itself after the install, you can press the OK button to close that box and you will now be at the main program as shown below.


      MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Screen

    15. On the Scanner tab, make sure the the Perform full scan option is selected and then click on the Scan button to start scanning your computer for System Tool related files.

    16. MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. This process can take quite a while, so we suggest you go and do something else and periodically check on the status of the scan. When MBAM is scanning it will look like the image below.


      MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Scanning Screen

    17. When the scan is finished a message box will appear as shown in the image below.


      MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Scan Finished Screen

      You should click on the OK button to close the message box and continue with the SystemTool removal process.

    18. You will now be back at the main Scanner screen. At this point you should click on the Show Results button.

    19. A screen displaying all the malware that the program found will be shown as seen in the image below. Please note that the infections found may be different than what is shown in the image.


      MalwareBytes Scan Results


      You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all the listed malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the steps.

    20. When MBAM has finished removing the malware, it will open the scan log and display it in Notepad. Review the log as desired, and then close the Notepad window.

    21. You can now exit the MBAM program.

    22. As this infection also changes your Windows HOSTS file, we want to replace this file with the default version for your operating system. Please note that if you or your company has added custom entries to your HOSTS file then you will need to add them again after restoring the default HOSTS file. In order to protect itself, SystemTool changes the permissions of the HOSTS file so you can't edit or delete it. To fix these permissions please download the following batch file and save it to your desktop:
      hosts-perm.bat Download Link
      When the file has finished downloading, double-click on the hosts-perm.bat file that is now on your desktop. If Windows asks if you if you are sure you want to run it, please allow it to run. Once it starts you will see a small black window that opens and then quickly goes away. This is normal and is nothing to be worried about. You should now be able to access your HOSTS file.

    23. We now need to delete the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\HOSTS file. Once it is deleted, download the following HOSTS file that corresponds to your version of Windows and save it in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc folder. If the contents of the HOSTS file opens in your browser when you click on a link below then right-click on the appropriate link and select Save Target As..., if in Internet Explorer, or Save Link As.., if in Firefox, to download the file.
      Windows XP HOSTS File Download Link
      Windows Vista HOSTS File Download Link
      Windows 2003 Server HOSTS File Download Link
      Windows 2008 Server HOSTS File Download Link
      Windows 7 HOSTS File Download Link
      Your Windows HOSTS file should now be back to the default one from when Windows was first installed.

    24. Now reboot your computer.

    25. As many rogues and other malware are installed through vulnerabilities found in out-dated and insecure programs, it is strongly suggested that you use Secunia PSI to scan for vulnerable programs on your computer. A tutorial on how to use Secunia PSI to scan for vulnerable programs can be found here:

      How to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector
    Your computer should now be free of the SystemTool program. You may want to consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future, as if you had the real-time protection component, that comes with the paid for version, activated it would not have allowed this infection to install.
    If you are still having problems with your computer after completing these instructions, then please follow the steps outlined in the topic linked below:
