On display at IFA 2008 in Germany you’ll find Viliv S7, a UMPC with 8+ battery life and a 7″ screen. What caught our eye of course is the integrated SiRF Star III GPS receiver.
Other features of Viliv S7 are:
- Intel Centrino Atom SLT 1.3/1.6/1.86Ghz
- 30/60 GB HDD
- 7″ WSVGA LCD
- touch screen
- keyboard
- bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
- Wibro or HSDPA module
- 802.11 b/g WiFi
- Internal DMB TV
- continuous 9 hours movie playback
- H.264 1080i / 720p
- Windows XP Home / Vista / Office ready
- approx 830 w/ battery
- 228×135×25 mm in size
Apparently Viliv S7 is in final design stages and is planned to launch in first quarter of 2009…

Kudos to EA for making Command and Conquer: Red Alert available as a free download, in preparation for the release of Red Alert 3—and in celebration of the RTS franchise’s 13th anniversary. Interested parties should visit this page, and set aside enough time for the 1GB download (500MB for each of the two game disks). The downloads are ISO images for burning onto CDs, a task easily accomplished by Totally Free Burner.

Pre-order Red Alert 3 (buyers score a free copy of Red Alert 2 if they pre-order before October 27)

Leviton’s ability to cram three wall sockets into the same space for two inspires more “now why didn’t I think of that?” moments. That’s what makes the Triplex outlet amazing.
Well, maybe not that amazing. After all, all Leviton did was realize that there was a lot loose space in between the standard two-socket configuration. They probably decided it was time to maximize all that space, and shuffled things around a bit.
What’s really likeable about this thing is after all, grounding provisions for all three sockets. Remember in less technologically (and perhaps legally) enlightened countries, the grounding prong is not that ubiquitous.
A perfect segue to the last point of toolmonger.com: “you should check your local codes on the number of outlets allowed on a circuit.” Prices vary from $15 to $20, but there’s sure to be a deal found on Amazon.

Okay, here’s something fun for the memorial weekend. Goto your browser and type a character such as “A” or “B” or any other ASCII characters.
(Did you know that most characters default to Google search while “e” defaults to EOnline.com?)
If you find any other cool websites that come on on the new Firefox 3 (yes, you should be using this browser), leave a comment.
Happy Memorial Weekend, we will be back on Tuesday to get going again on tech posts. 
(I hear bunch of parties going on at my apartment as I write this now. It’s the first weeks of school at SFSU)

Quite simple really: if you’re a Comcast customer, don’t use up more than 250GB of bandwidth every month. The publicly-stated “new monthly data usage threshold” will take effect on October 1. Why 250GB?
As Comcast says:
250 GB/month is an extremely large amount of data, much more than a typical residential customer uses on a monthly basis. Currently, the median monthly data usage by our residential customers is approximately 2 - 3 GB. To put 250 GB of monthly usage in perspective, a customer would have to do any one of the following:
- Send 50 million emails (at 0.05 KB/email)
- Download 62,500 songs (at 4 MB/song)
- Download 125 standard-definition movies (at 2 GB/movie)
- Upload 25,000 hi-resolution digital photos (at 10 MB/photo)
Don’t want to follow the rules? Expect a pleasant call from Comcast asking you to curb your “excessive use”. Continued violation will of course result in the suspension or even termination of your account.
Man, now how are we supposed to download all those torrent movies for our piracy empire? Seriously though, 250GB a month is a lot of data (or 8 and-a-third gigs a day). Unless you need to download the entire capacity of a typical laptop hard drive.
You can still commit lots of copyright infringements with this allocation, so it’s clear that Comcast is doing this to preserve the quality of the service, and not out of pressure from those big copyright owners. After all, everyone has the right to free and prompt access to porn, free from even more bandwidth-hungry apps like Bittorrent and Filesharing.
