How to Buy a Point-and-Shoot Camera

By far the largest segment of the digital camera market, point-and-shoot models are easy-to-use, compact cameras that take great pictures with minimal effort. With a point and shooter, you simply press the shutter button, and the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed, aperture, focus, and light sensitivity to capture a clear image with optimal color. Unlike digital SLRs, which offer more manual control and interchangeable lenses, point-and-shoot cameras can slip into a pocket, and are often hundreds or even thousands of dollars less expensive than their D-SLR counterparts.

Deciding to buy a point-and-shoot camera is the simple part, but with hundreds of models to choose from, selecting the best model for your needs and budget is no easy feat. Following our seven rules will help bring your perfect point and shooter into focus.

AMD talks upcoming Bulldozer, Hemlock, and Fusion chips

If chipmakers competed on the basis of code names rather than products, then Advanced Micro Devices might have beaten Intel a long time ago.

At its financial analyst day Wednesday, AMD laid out its plans for a dizzying array of upcoming PC chips with names like Bulldog, Bulldozer, Danube, Brazos, and Ontario.

The onslaught starts with a high-end graphics chip code-named Hemlock that will go on sale next week, priced at about $400 to $500. It comprises two GPUs and delivers five teraflops of graphics computing power, according to Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's products group.

Four new PC processors will follow in the first half of next year, including a quad-core notebook chip that aims to give seven hours of battery life, and a six-core chip for high-end desktops that includes AMD's Eyefinity multidisplay technology for gamers, Bergman said.

Review: Taking the Droid on the road

I've lusted for an iPhone ever since it first went on sale -- but the nearest AT&T tower to my home is about 10 miles away. So I use Verizon Wireless and an ancient (four years old!) Motorola Q smartphone.

That's why I was excited to receive a Motorola Droid review unit. Could Droid be the iPhone substitute that I -- and undoubtedly many other Verizon subscribers -- have been longing for?

The Droid's arrival was well-timed: It was delivered just hours before I was to leave on a three-day, 1,000-mile road trip with my wife to see a family member in Ohio. This journey enabled me to put Droid through its paces.

My conclusion: My iPhone lust has been sated. The Droid, which costs about $200 after rebates and a two-year contract with Verizon, is superlative. On the whole, it is as carefully designed, useful and fun to use as an iPhone. At last.

Is there an Alternative to Windows7, or Mac, or Linux or …?

Let’s be clear. I use Windows7 every day. I think it is better than Vista, which I also used everyday. But as Steve Balmer said not too long ago,“We are glad to have good competitors pushing technology innovation.” Let’s see.

An Operating System is software which integrates with hardware. The OS must work with chips, motherboards, expansion cards for audio and video, and memory, CPU’s, and a variety of peripheral equipment. Control is the governing mantra of an OS.
