科技業震撼彈 Intel新平台Viiv亮相

Intel® Viiv™ Technology Arrives Early 2006

Get ready for a new kind of consumer entertainment PC that will change the way you enjoy entertainment at home. Intel's new platform for digital entertainment—Intel® Viiv™ technology—will launch in early 2006 with the multitasking power of a dual-core processor-based PC and sleek new designs that fit your lifestyle. Intel Viiv technology-based PCs: Feature remote control operation from the comfort of your couch, and instant on/off functionality like a TV (after initial boot) Have cutting-edge technology, including a dual-core processor and advanced graphics and sound capability for an amazing audio/visual experience Offer content on demand with easy Internet access to movies, music, pictures and games Have the ability to record, pause, and rewind live TV programs (with optional TV tuner card) Include special software that makes it easier to set-up a home network and connect to other wireless devices Come in different shapes and sizes to fit any style home, including small consumer electronics-type designs that look like DVD players to more traditional desktop designs Provide state-of-the-art PC performance including support for up to 7.1 channel surround sound for a home theater-quality entertainment experienceΨ With an Intel Viiv technology-based PC and supporting devices, you can enjoy a growing universe of digital media content—both directly at the PC and in other rooms throughout your homeΨ. Plus, the power of Intel dual-core processors means that multiple family members can use the same PC to enjoy content in different rooms at the same time. For example, one family member can download a movie on the Intel Viiv technology-based PC in the family room, while another enjoys music being streamed from the same PC to the living room stereoΨ.   雙核心CPU 整合7.1聲道音效 無線網路 繪圖加速卡 DVD decoder Settop box 遙控器的功能,VIIV涵蓋的領域相當廣,與Microsoft的Meida center應該很容易結合,但個人對於整合性的晶片使用經驗不佳,加上非常重要的繪圖晶片不是用ATI或nVidia的,而目前也未提及授權台灣晶片組生產的計畫,對其定價及效能有疑慮,但還是樂觀的看待 PC家電化的趨勢

手機亮橙色風

從Motolora黑金剛的黑色  到Panasonic GD90掀起的銀色風  再到iPod的白色  現在橙(橘)色也可能會風行一陣子吧? 以前的手機面版總是透著綠光 隨著LED的技術發展 後來有藍光 白光 ....七色背光,有一陣子很流行手機改裝,還有改成七彩霓虹燈的加透明機殼的,最經典的應該是Motorola的小海豚機吧?!

二維條碼在手機的應用

在韓國與日本的推行下,二維條碼開始進入台灣行動通信市場,目前有2大陣營,韓國方面叫Magicode,幾乎整個韓系的smartphone手機,都會內建intervision軟體,把手機變成條碼掃瞄器,經相機一照,解碼後可立刻連結到指定的網址或撥打電話,另一種叫 QR code,目前日系手機有Sharp支援,內建barcode reader軟體,看到QR code的條碼,便可拍一下,了解內含的意義.

 

用二維條螞加手機可以減少姆指族找尋產品頁,活動頁的時間及不便,也可以增加戶動手機活動的方便性,有人開始用QR code寫blog,有人用來製做個人名片,也有人將條碼印在T-shirt上,運用在購物上或活動入場管制也相當方便,目前Magicode台灣已有公司取得代理,並與多家手機廠商及內容商合作,相信很快平面媒體,電視 戶外看版都會看到這些看不懂的code,要知道他是什麼嗎?!換隻smartphoe拍一下就知道了。

 

QR code 是免費的國際標準碼,大部份的二維條碼掃瞄器都有支援,Magicode是商業應用型的,有提供較完善的服務,但並非國際標準.
