Canon PowerShot S3 IS Digital Camera Review ![]()
The Tech Zone :: Tuesday, September 12, 2006
The PowerShot S3 IS digital camera’s 12x zoom lens has an equivalent film focal length of 36-432 mm (f/2.7 at wide angle and f/3.5 at telephoto). Despite the extraordinary range of the zoom lens, it retracts securely into the camera when it is powered down. The optical zoom can be augmented by the camera’s 4x digital zoom raising the maximum (35mm equivalent) focal length to that of a 1728mm lens. What’s more, this UD lens features a high-speed silent zoom function powered by a micro motor USM drive, increasing ease of quiet, non-intrusive image capture. For extreme close-ups, the camera’s macro and super macro mode permit shooting a subject as close as zero inches from the end of the lens barrel.

Simplicity: The New Trend In Gadgets
Cool Tech Zone :: Tuesday, September 12, 2006
“It wasn’t too long ago when companies started integrating as many features as they possibly could to outdo each other. There was innovation, true competition and an abundance of new features, but that soon changed when features weren’t a commodity, but rather a standard. Even the quality of products has reached a ceiling nowadays.”

Synology USB NAS Station Review
Everything USB :: Sunday, September 10, 2006
“If you want to share a USB hard drive and printers, the simplest way is to go through standard Windows resource sharing procedures. The availability of the devices will depend on the host entirely. Should the server be busy at other processing, performance can degrade significantly. More recent Ethernet or wireless routers are mostly equipped with USB ports that provide centralized access to printers and external drives for LAN clients. Short of a complete router upgrade, Synology USB Station offers more or less the same level of file serving and printer sharing for your existing network.”

I really think this player is Outstanding, despite the thumbwheel making the sound hiss, it’s exactly what it says on the package, the fact it comes in three different sizes and can be upgraded makes all the difference to me.

Think Computers :: Sunday, September 10, 2006
“Every time I go over to my parent’s house the first thing that I always notice is how many pictures they have displayed. All of the pictures really do take up a lot of space and they cannot even display all of the ones they want to because they do no have enough picture frames. This might not be the case with everyone, but I’m sure you would rather have a photo frame that you could display many pictures and save a lot of space. Well today we are looking at just that, the DPF-8800 8-inch LCD digital photo frame. It not only will let you display many photos, but it plays music too.”
PDA & Handheld Computers Buying Guide
The Tech Zone :: Sunday, September 10, 2006
The Personal Data Assistant (PDA) has won rapid acceptance among university students and executives who are constantly on the move because of its ability to package a lot of different data requirements into a palm sized device. The PDA is designed to make a busy life easier by providing sensible connections to all the information you need, have it at your fingertips when you need it, and transport it to other systems. Once ‘organized’ with your PDA, you will have all of your contact phone numbers, be collecting your emails, process your business orders, display your photographs and relax to your MP3 library. Many PDAs also act as a digital recorder and have windows based compatibility for word processing and spreadsheet financial calculations.
Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB USB U3 Flash Drive Review![]()
Overclockers Club :: Sunday, September 10, 2006
“The drive itself is heavy, and has a thick metal shell, encasing the entire drive. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say I could probably take a hammer to it – literally (don’t try and test my theory!). It is, however, a little bit larger than the average flash drive. The connector is moved easily by a hard plastic slide, with a very smooth pushing action. The clip rather annoyed me, as it is supposed to slide in, but during the process, you can scratch the glossy side. Once it is in, the clip won’t be going anywhere for a while, as it is a genuine pain to take out.”
