APPLE APERTURE 2

Aperture 2 is a powerful photo management and post production image editing software for Mac,that is aimed mainly at professionals.For a windows layman,Aperture is essentially like picasa on steroids.It includes several features to manage workflow and make life a lot easier for professionals who ordinarily shoot tons of pictures.

In terms of image editing the software has functionality that is akin to developing film in a studio,i.e post production touch ups such as hue,tint,white balance and exposure rather than full-scale image manipulation offered by suites such as photoshop.The ease of use comes across right from the installation.Both Mac newbies and fanboys alike will find the software pretty intuitive.The software handles EXIF data and RAW files well.You can create smart albums from multiple parameters that allow you to filter down to the exact photos that you want.Once you have a set of images,you can work on them in different ways;be it a light table or comparing them side by side.

Loupe is very useful tool in this regard that essentially mimcs magnification.The heads-up display brings the projects,Metadata,and adjustments panes together in one tabbed pane for easy access.The application imports very well from a camera,but importing from folders was quite a pain as it didn't recurse sub-folders automatically.Still,such minor irritants aside,this software is a must have for a professional photographer as well as any Mac user who has more than a cursory interest in photography and a great deal of money to spare

NVIDIA GEFORCE 3D VISION

Nvidia Geforce 3D Vision to be a really goofy green and black pair of sunglasses,which they are obviously not!Given the abysmal history of attempting to give gamers a true 3D experience,these are quite a revelation.Not without the odd flaws as we found out.They are well built and there is a mini USB port on one of the temple-arms for charging the tiny built-in Li-Ion battery.There is a small IR transmitter-cum-USB controller,two extra nose-pieces for fit and a rather long DVI to HDMI cable bundled.Each lens is actually a monochrome LCD and it works by alternatively blocking light to either eye.Therefore only certain frames are visible by each eye,while others are blocked and alternating frames are slightly offset--while this makes the monitor blurry to look at with the naked eye it also serves to allow the wearer to perceive 3D where there is,(obviously!),none.All Graphics cards from the 9800 GTX era and later are supported.

Obviously games need to support this and we had two titles that did--Crysis Warhead and Batman Arkham Asylum.Warhead looks decent but is full of glitches,especially issues with seeing two aiming reticules are unforgivable.Batman works flawlessly with a lettle tuning,however,and the game characters and environs seem to reach out and grab you--super immersive and this was,we have to admit,something that frankly adds a whole new layer to the gaming experience.When more titles support the 3D vision properly,we will heartly recommend it.Till that time,hold your horses.

APPLE LED CINEMA DISPLAY

If you are looking for best cinema display then your try apple LED cinema.It is much heavier than typical 24-inch LCDs on account of the aluminium bodywork.It uses an S-IPS panel with LED backlighting.

Our spyder3Elite reported the maximum contrast ratio at 745:1,which is very respectable for an S-IPS panel.Brightness levels are a bit weaker than expected i.e 325 cd/m 2,but not bad for an S-IPS panel.For some reason,Apple choose to impart a glossy finish to the panel.The result?Loss in beauty with not so-beautiful reflections.Movie quality is good and the display gives very decent contrast and colour with no noticeable pixel lag.The inbuilt web camera and speakers have good quality and volume.

A mini displayport connects to all the latest Macbooks and Macbook Pros.There is no DVI or HDMI connectivity,and so forgot using this with a regular PC or notebook.

There are a few quirks when using with any Macbook Pro like a bit of an input lag while using apps like MS office 2008.Overall its a good display.

NUMARK TTUSB

If you want best player for DJ then try Numark TTUSB.The Numark TTUSB is a new-age turntable with features that will fascinate both DJs and music lovers.At first glance it looks like a conventional turntable with 33 1/3 and 45 rpm plyback spped.But a peek at the rear panel will knock your socks off.In addition to the RCA phono out which all turntables have,this one sports a USB port and a switch for line-out.Hook it up to a USB port and it gets detected as a sound device which you can select as a source for recording music.

A 3.5mm line-in jack is also present near the speed selection buttons for hooking up an audio source such as an MP3 player or audio source such as an MP3 player or audio cassette player to the turntable as input for recording.Numark has bundled Easydj2 and Audacity on a CD along with step-by-step instructions on how to set up the turntable,capture audio,split tracks and eliminate pops and clicks.This turntalbe can do anything for DJ.

Plus a tempo control slider is provided to the right for increasing or reducing the playbac speed by 10 percent.A very useful feature that many users look out for in a turntable is the anti-skate mechanism which is also present.

In the box you will find a platter with an attached belt,an S-shape tonearm,magnetic cartridge,felt slipmat,tonearm counterweight,USB type B cable and a hub adapter for 45 mm records.A good all-round package,but it would have been good if Numark had also included a dustcover.

WHO WILL RULE THE WORLD "CORD OR WIRELESS"

Now a days everything is going on wireless and nobody likes wire things.Connecting cables are usually clumsy and ugly for me,every one wants clean lines of the rooms you spent hours poring over interior design magazines to achieve.Now a days technology is improving day by day and gets more affordable,wireless signals are transforming our homes and sending data through the air.The main advantage of wireless is that you won't have to run a cable to all of the machines.
Not only this mobiles phones now doubling as everything from cameras to music players,a wireless technology known as bluetooth is in a lot of people's pockets too.This bluetooth can do anything for you like this bluetooth allows us to send data,contacts or photos,from mobile phones to and from a computer.Now a days most of the new computers have bluetooth,but if you an old pc that doesn,t ask about a device that can be connected to the USB port to provide one.This device can also be used to stream music from a phone to a stereo unit;gaming consoles,which long ago ditched the cords that connect controllers to the main unit.
Wireless technology is also appearing in stereos.Speakers are connected wirelessly to amplifiers,so can be placed anywhere in a room.According to me in future wireless will rule the world because the now a days nobody wants to use cords and cables,so it means that wireless is going higher day by day.

PC GAMES

                They isolate children socially and distract them from learning, right? Think again.Researchers have found that kids who clock up regular console time can improve their hand-eye coordination, their grip on science, even their IQ.

A 2002 study of 700 children found that stimulation and adventure games such as sim city and RollerCoaster Tycoon developed children’s  strategic thinking and planning skills. And research by peter excell, head of computing and communications technology at a UK university,suggests computer games are a great way to explain the basics of physics.(A weapon thrown in a game,for example, has to follow a certain trajectory,illustrating the laws of gravity.)

A  primary school in london,actually started a pilot project in september last year using 16 Nintendo DS consoles running the maths training game with a fifth-standard class—who were so engaged that other classes are now sharing the consoles and some students have asked their parents to buy the games to use at home.

BEAWARE:Some games can create stress-like symptoms, with younger children more affected because they are less able to distinguish between fact and fiction .Ensure the computer is somewhere you can see it.
