Dell chooses Blu-ray format for notebook

Laptop users can save 50GB of either data or video on a single Blu-ray disc

Dell Inc. added Blu-ray disc capability to its notebook PC line on Monday, making an effort to compete with Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. in the growing market for mobile high-definition video platforms.In addition to showing high-end movies and games, Dell's XPS M1710 notebook could serve as a central node to support digital entertainment throughout the home, the company said. Customers can save 50GB of either data or video on a single Blu-ray disc.The ability to read and write data to the discs differentiates Blu-ray from HD-DVD, the competing standard for high-definition video, analysts said. Laptops with HD-DVD capability have lower prices but cannot save data to the discs, said Samir Bhavnani, research director at Current Analysis Inc."You are starting to see the different camps emerge within the computing companies, with Toshiba and Acer on the HD-DVD side and Sony and Dell on the Blu-ray side," he said. Sony's Vaio VGN-AR270 uses Blu-ray discs, while Acer Co. Ltd.'s notebook and Toshiba's Qosmio G35-AV650 use HD-DVD.Blu-ray and HD-DVD are improvements over standard DVD optical discs; they hold more data and let users watch high-definition video. All three technologies are optical discs, storing data in a binary form that is read by a scanning laser. But a Blu-ray disc can hold five times the capacity of a dual-layer DVD, Dell said.Movie studios and video game producers are eager to sell films on the new media, but the flow of new titles is only a trickle so far because content providers and hardware vendors can't decide which standard will prevail.Pricing starts at $3,699 for the XPS M1710, including an Intel Corp. Core 2 Duo processor with 4GB of memory and up to 160GB of storage on a serial ATA hard drive.

Can PlayStations be Servers?

new virtual hosting setup can draw spare processing power from handhelds, consoles, and other devices.Part 1 of a special five-part series. -->
Darren Pauli, Computerworld Australia

A new virtual hosting solution has been launched that draws on spare processing power from multiple devices and platforms to reduce the cost of provisioning additional servers.
The service, dubbed Joint Infrastructure Virtualization Enhancement, can draw on unused processing capacity in desktops, laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), mobile phones and even gaming consoles by using the Skeet migration service to stop, break up, migrate, and distribute running applications between servers and devices.
Bulletproof Networks Pty Ltd. Director of Sales and Marketing Lorenzo Modesto said the extra processing load on the devices may increase power consumption but he denied it would adversely affect performance.
"The only downside may be a higher consumption of battery in mobile phones and PDAs but that's it," Modesto said.
"It can draw on processing power from anywhere; if an employee brings their kids into work with a Sony Corp. Playstation then the business could leverage its processing and the same with MP3 players.
"You can exceed your computing requirements without having to purchase extra hardware through a distributed and highly available architecture."
He said the solution is a global first and can use any device with wireless connectivity and a CPU, with take-up expected to be strong in the sales, manufacturing and warehousing industries which typically have low installed server power and high latent mobile device penetration.
However, Gartner managing vice president, Phil Sargent, said the solution would pose a number of contentious issues such as pricing and security that would need to be addressed.
"There would be some interesting ramifications if these devices that are being relied on are turned off," Sargent said.
"Security is a big issue here because this extends the technology outside the corporate boundaries.
"Software licensing fees and overall pricing may be difficult to manage because of how resources are [provisioned]."
He said the technology was previously used within an organization's boundaries by enterprises such as banks which used resources between data centers and remote user computers.
The solution was developed for about a year and is an offshoot of the company's hosted virtualization service.
Modesto was unavailable to reply at the time of publication.
Moreover, Datacom virtual infrastructure architect, Andre Rencontre, said he is skeptical of the offering because it addresses a non-critical problem in most infrastructures - the vast majority of servers are not CPU constrained.
With eight way processor cores scheduled for release next year and plans for 16 and 32 core processors this will continue to be the case, he added. "The real issue for customers with virtual machines in the data center is the provisioning of RAM and storage, not processing," Rencontre said.

5 Ways You're Wasting Money, Not Saving It

One of the most frustrating aspects of trying to save money is when you think you are saving, but in reality you're wasting money. This usually happens when you have made bad assumptions when making a purchase or you haven't analyzed the true costs of a purchase.

Here are five common ways people waste money when they actually believe they are saving it:
1. Buying gas at the least expensive gas station.
While this would seem obvious, the problem occurs when the least expensive gas station is a few miles off your regularly traveled route. If you are driving across town to save a few cents per gallon, the cost of driving to get the better price will negate any savings the cheaper gas price provides.
Solution: Choose the least expensive gas station that is no more than a mile from your regularly traveled route. You can keep informed on which gas station is selling gas at the best price at such sites as Gasbuddy or MSN Gas Prices.
2. Going to different stores to get sale items.
People often believe that they are saving money by looking at the weekly discount ads that stores send out and finding the best price for each product they need. The problem is that by driving all around town to the different stores, you waste all of that savings on the cost of operating your car.
Solution: Find the closest store that will price-match. While many stores don't advertise that they will price-match, a fair number of stores still do. You may need to ask the manager to confirm whether or not the store does. Once you have located a store that will price-match, simply buy everything there and bring in the competitor's ads to get the best price.
3. Buying the cheapest instead of the best value.
People often confuse the least expensive price with the best value. Unfortunately, the products with the least expensive prices are often a poor value. While price is an important factor that contributes to value, it isn't the only factor that one needs to consider.
Solution: Look beyond price when you purchase a product. Consider how long you need it to last along with its price. Other factors you should consider that can contribute to value include quality, design, warranties and repair costs. By taking all these factors into consideration instead of focusing exclusively on price, you are much more likely to walk away with something that will be of value.
4. Purchasing items on sale.
Purchasing items on sale is a great way to save money if they are items that you would have purchased anyway even if there hadn't been a sale. The problem is that many people purchase items they would have never purchased except for the fact that they were found on sale.
Solution: When purchasing items on sale, only purchase those items that you would eventually purchase at full price. If it is something that you would not normally purchase, then don't.
5. Buying in bulk.
While buying in bulk can reduce the cost per unit of the item you're purchasing, it only saves you money if you consume all of it and consume it at the same pace you would if you had a lesser amount in the house.
Many times when people purchase in bulk, a good portion ends up in the trash because it goes bad before it can be used. On the other hand, some items, such as candy, often get consumed at a much faster pace when there is a lot of it around than when there isn't. Either of these scenarios can make purchasing in bulk more expensive, even with the lower unit price.
Solution: Take the time to make sure you carefully consider an item's shelf life and how it will be consumed before buying it in bulk. To solve these issues, consider buying in bulk with friends so that you get the better price yet take home a unit size that avoids these problems.
There are many ways that we fool ourselves into believing we are saving money when in reality we are wasting it. It's important to look beyond the initial assumptions and take a critical look at the cost of all that we purchase. When you take the time to do this, you'll know that the savings you get are real.
