Below Laptop specification

Bangalore: There’s this guy who is marooned on an island for years. One day, a helicopter spots him and takes him back to civilisation. Neither his wife nor his pet dog recognises him. But the moment he sits before his laptop, the device recognises his face, lets him log in, and proves to all around that he’s no stranger.
That’s Lenovo’s upcoming ad, featuring Saif Ali Khan, for its latest laptop — a laptop that provides for face recognition as your password.
As laptop sales in India surge, computer manufacturers like Lenovo, Dell and Apple are all packing more and more technology into these devices.
The China-based $13-billion Lenovo is using biometrics in its new Y300 and Y500 series of notebooks. Show your face and you are automatically logged in.
Many notebooks have begun to serve the greater purpose of providing wholesome multimedia experience. The MacBook Pro from Apple makes it easy to showcase your latest creations. With an Apple Remote, you can navigate your videos, music, movies from anywhere in the room as it remotely connects to other devices, wired or wireless.
“PCs have become a lifestyle product. We are keen on making computing more easy for people. With face identification, users need not remember all the passwords for their email IDs, and provide for security,’’ said Ajay Mittal, VP (brand and marketing), Lenovo India. Lenovo is trying to build excitement around this product with a major ad campaign over the next few weeks.
Some of the new releases are equipped with Dolby home theatre facility, a TV tuner card and a shuttle centre button that lets you navigate easily between photos, movies and other features.
The IBM ‘Think’ series of laptops has an in-built ‘air-bag’ that automatically gauges a situation when a device is about to crash. In that split second, it does the unthinkable — saves all data.
“Almost always, the key reason for buying a notebook has remained mobility. But mobility with high-computing power is most crucial today. As the possibilities of accessing the internet through multiple modalities increase, notebooks will generate more interest,’’ said a Dell spokesperson.
High expectations from notebooks translate to higher storage capability. 80GB storage, coupled with 512MB or 1GB RAM is a norm today. Sony’s Blu-ray Disc enabled Vaio notebooks are compatible with your HDTV at home. They also come with Intel Core 2 Duo and Nvidia Graphics card for high-end gaming. You can store 25-50GB of HD video or data on a single Blu-ray Disc media.
The Lenovo high-end ThinkPad X60 comes with a HDD shock absorber, which absorbs shocks from accidental drops with the ThinkVantage Active Protection System. The fingerprint reader is another feature that provides for high system security and convenience.
A MAIT-IMRB study pegs notebook shipments to India in 2005-06 at 4.31 lakh, growing by 144% over the previous year. In value terms, this represents a size of Rs 2,027 crore, compared to Rs 978 crore in 2004-05.
With so many Indians lapping up laptops and competition among laptop makers intensifying, high-tech features are emerging as differentiators.

How to send files over internet

Large files can be a pain. It’s all fine to make fancy PowerPoint presentations with liberal a sprinkling of video clips and pictures, but when it comes to sending them over email you’re stuck. Often somewhere down the line, the mail servers end up choking on your large transfer.
Wouldn’t it be a dream if you could just drop them over someplace and have your friends or colleagues pick them up?

The options:

With websites like DropLoad (www.dropload. com), you might just have an option. This is one of a new breed of companies that offer work-arounds to using e-mail to send files. Some other such services worth mentioning are DropSend (www.dropsend. com), YouSendIt (www.you sendit.com) and SendThisFile (www.sendthisfile.com).

The advantages:

The best part about these services is that they are very simple to use.
To start using these services, you just have to register with them (mostly for free). Then, just like you’d do with your email, upload your big files to their server, specify who should receive the files and you are ready to roll. This will also fox servers that don’t let heavy files through, since all that the recipients get are e-mails with a link to these files. No filters or servers will be able to chuck them out because of sheer size.
Another plus is that the entire transaction takes place at the server end. So you don’t have to bother about installing any applications or stick to a single computer for either uploading or download the files. The one exception to this is DropSend, which comes with an option to a install tiny software for easy upload.
There isn’t any coordination to be done either, so the recipients can come by anytime and pick up the files.
