			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An interesting new niche in the PC laptop market, is the &#8220;<strong>MacBook Air Killer</strong>&#8220;. The latest, in a recent rash of these computers, is the <a href="http://explore.toshiba.com/laptops/portege/R500" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">Toshiba Portégé, R500</a>. The top of the line model boasts a 128GB solid state hard drive, 2GB of RAM and a dual core Intel processor. Really driving home the value, the Toshiba also features a built in DVD Burner (the DVD SuperMulti Drive), fingerprint scanner and Transflective 1280&#215;800 wide screen.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/images/toshiba-portege.jpg" alt="Toshiba Portege" /></p>
<p>For comparison, we&#8217;ve lined up the top-of-the-line <a href="http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_air?mco=MTE4MTY" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">MacBook Air</a> and Portégé side by side:</p>
<table width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1>
<tr bgcolor="#FF8282">

</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#F8DCDC">

<tr>

<td>$2,999</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><span id="more-485"></span></p>
<p>As you can see, you&#8217;re getting a smaller package, both lighter and smaller, but giving a bit of processing power. For many the on-board DVD drive will be a big selling point, as it can be really inconvenient to either carry around an optical drive, or go without.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/images/voodoo-envy.jpg" alt="Voodoo Envy" /></p>
<p>HP, not wanting to be left out of this race, has acquired performance computing company <a href="http://www.voodoopc.com/" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">Voodoo</a>. Due out this summer is the <strong>Voodoo Envy 133</strong>, which was debuted along with the Voodoo Omen in Berlin (watch video coverage below). It will feature an all carbon-fibre 0.7&#8243; thick body, Splashtop Instant-On environment (which allows surfing the web and making Skype calls within 10 seconds of booting), and a removable battery. The non-removable battery is one of the most-often heard complaints about the Air, making it an interesting feature. The price is expected to be $2099.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re in the market for a new laptop, and the ultra-portable form factor suits you, 2008 is going to be an interesting year!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The music festival season at Glastonbury may have already started, and no doubt there were many festival goers who had found themselves without an ounce of charge in the mobile phones. This can be really annoying.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/recharge-tent.jpg'><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/recharge-tent.jpg" alt="Recharge tent" /></a></p>
<p>But how do you charge your mobile phone or MP4 player, when you are camped out in the middle of a field? Well the mobile telecoms company, Orange has been thinking about this and will be making available at the main festival the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/16/oranges-recharge-pod-tent-to-keep-mobiles-juiced-at-glastonbury/">Orange ReCharge Tent</a>.</p>
<p>The tent stands seven meters tall and when the 500 watt solar panels and 500 watt wind turbine are in full power they will be able to charge up to over a hundred phones or personal music players each day. Or 100 devices per hour.</p>
<p>If this proves to be a success then, Orange says that they may consider making more of these tents which could be taken to other events. Of course it has a good spin on it for Orange, for when people are charging up their phones, the staff can be telling them about their new deals and packages. <img src='http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Playstation 3</strong> was once known as the most expensive, over-priced next generation games console. This lasted for a while, before people started to find out the real potential of Playstation 3. This is not only a game console, it&#8217;s a computer, an entertainment center (and a high-def too!) and with the firmware upgrades Sony has launched, has boost Playstation 3 console sales figure through the roof! Playstation 3 is packed with quite some serious punches and features that, once known, will make the price tag seems a lot more reasonable. I know so because in the past, I wasn&#8217;t interested to buy a Playstation 3, but now, I&#8217;m a proud owner of one. Read on why.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/5-reasons.jpg" alt="5 reasons why PS3" /></p>
<p><strong>1. Yellow Dog Linux</strong><br />
No, this doesn&#8217;t involve a yellow colored dog and putting it beside, or worse, on top of your Playstation 3. <a href="http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/products/ydl/" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">Yellow Dog Linux</a> by <strong>Terra Soft Solutions</strong> is a well-known, PS3 approved Linux distribution. So what&#8217;s the big deal? Well, first, Linux is free, so while installing another OS into your Playstation 3 is not officially recommended (although it is legal), combined with a USB keyboard, and a USB mouse, and voila! you&#8217;ve got yourself an ultra-cool, sleek looking &#8220;PC&#8221; to do your day-to-day activities such as browsing, chatting, and office works.</p>
<p><span id="more-474"></span></p>
<p>Need a break? Just switch back and enter the Playstation 3 realm once again (yeah, installing Yellow Dog Linux doesn&#8217;t mean losing your Playstation 3 capabilities to play games). <a href="http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/installation/" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">Installation guide</a> can be found on YDL&#8217;s support page, or you can just Google it up. There are plenty of people who wrote a guide on how to put a yellow dog on your Playstation 3&#8230; err.. I mean, installed Yellow Dog Linux on your Playstation 3.</p>
<p><strong>2. Upgradable HDD</strong><br />
A lot says that the 60GB version of Playstation 3 is the masterpiece of all the versions. Mainly because the complete features (memory slot, reasonably big storage, backward compatibility with PS2 games) but yeah, all good things comes to an end. It&#8217;s hard to get your hand on one nowadays because of some obvious reason, it&#8217;s not being produced anymore. So, you&#8217;re doomed? Not really. Get yourself a 40GB version, upgrade the HDD yourself (which is fairly easy, heaps of tutorials online) and voila! A Playstation 3 with big storage within your budget. Not to mention the other 4 reasons I&#8217;m writing here. Tutorial can be found <a href="http://www.cnet.com.au/games/ps3/0,239035763,339282375,00.htm" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">here</a> (thanks CNET!)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/tversity.jpg" alt="Tversity" /></p>
<p><strong>3. Streaming media</strong><br />
Have lots of media files in your PC? Music, movies, photos? Latest Playstation 3 firmware supports live streaming. With the help of an application called <a href="http://tversity.com/home" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">TVersity</a>, you will be able to stream movies (avis, mpegs, wmvs, and more) to your Playstation 3, along with your songs collection. As for images, beside watching slideshow of my favorite photos, I use my Playstation 3 to watch mangas too (that means Bleach and Naruto in HD!)</p>
<p><strong>4. Entertainment center</strong><br />
This is a no secret. Playstation 3, beside being a wonderful, splendid next generation console, is the ultimate Blu-Ray player too. And since Toshiba&#8217;s HD DVDs has lost the war, you can rest assured that there will be heaps of titles waiting to be released in Blu-Ray format in the near future.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/gran-turismo-5.jpg" alt="Gran Turismo 5" /></p>
<p><strong>5. Exclusive games</strong><br />
Playstation 3 has some serious line ups. Despite the slow start, Playstation 3 has improved a lot since then. Titles like Uncharted - Drake&#8217;s Fortune, Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 5, Gran Turismo 5 just to name a few are the most played games on Playstation 3. Along with the tilt sensitive Six Axxis controller (now comes in Dual Shock flavor too!), Playstation 3 definitely has improvised and worth considering to get one.</p>
<p>So there you are, 5 reasons why you should love a Playstation 3, and why you should get one now. To fully enjoy the benefits of high definition gaming and movies, you might consider purchasing a High Def LCD TV too. HD LCD TV price tag has gone down over the years, and is relatively cheap nowadays. If you are really on a tight budget, a 19in or 22in should be enough to see what a Playstation 3 is capable of. Just make sure the LCD TV has a HDMI input. I used to have a 19in LCD before upgrading to a 37in one. Now I can write this blog on a 37in high definition LCD screen! AWESOME! <img src='http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s get away from the usual IT and blogging related stuff today, and check out this cool device which I believe you will love to have it.</p>
<p>You know how it goes! You are just going out for a meal or something, it&#8217;s raining cats and dogs and when you get to your car the battery is flat. The best thing that can happen is that someone can help you with a jump start, but this means getting greasy and dirty fiddling about under the bonnet.</p>
<p>But this is not how it needs to be anymore, sure you may end up with a flat battery, but with the <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/car/a8a0/" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">Closed Hood Car Jump Starter</a>, there is no longer a need to pop the bonnet and therefore you can remain clean and dry! Very cool and unbelievable indeed!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/jump-start-cable.jpg" alt="Jump start cable" /></p>
<p><span id="more-469"></span></p>
<p>The device works quite simply, you get a friendly passer by to stop and plug the device into both cigarette lighters and while the other car remains running it is charging up your battery, simple like that! Now this is what carefree motoring should be all about and for less than US$20 it&#8217;s cheaper than a taxi ride of course.</p>
<p><strong>Product features at a glance</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Connects via the cigarette lighter outlets and allows you to jump start your car without opening the hood
<li>5-10 minutes charging time
<li>Green indicator light lets you know your car is ready to start
<li>Long 18 foot cord ensures the two vehicles need not be too close together
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is something definitely British about the coin operated broadband base station made by <a href="http://www.handlink.com.tw/eng/products/kiosk/wi-fi_kiosk.htm" target="_out" rel="external nofollow">Handlink</a>. You simply put your coins into the slot and take the ticket that is printed out with all of the details needed to log into the system.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/wifi-machine.jpg" alt="Wifi machine" /></p>
<p>It is expected that these machines will be located in public places such as railway stations, shopping malls and just about anywhere else where a Wi-Fi network could be of use. </p>
<p>The device supports 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi connections and once you have your details any Wi-Fi enabled device such as laptops, PDA’s and some portable games machines can be quickly connected.</p>
<p>Unfortunately there are no details on what the costs are, so it is difficult to recommend what sort of loose change will be required. However it would be probably more like pound coins rather than 10p’s.   </p>
<p>Naturally free Wi-Fi is preferable, but in places where a free connection is not available then maybe coin operated Wi-Fi is the answer, you just have to love the idea of popping in a few coins and getting onto the Internet, no bills and no nasty surprises when your mobile broadband bill comes in.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, is this the future version of Windows&#8230; so called <strong>Windows 7</strong>? To me, it looks really revolutionary much like how Apple iPhone revolutionized how a mobile phone should look and work. Now, many mobile phone makers are producing iPhone competitors, especially HTC and LG models.</p>
<p>Earlier last week, at the D6 conference Ballmer demonstrated the multitouch interface of Windows 7 which will ship to customers in late 2009.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iTABGen4Ckg&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iTABGen4Ckg&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>The demo showed an app for organizing photos, and a Windows Paint app that you can draw with all your fingers at once. Also, a digital globe app, where the two-handed interface makes good sense. What&#8217;s really amazing is a piano app, on which you can now play chords using your fingers on the multitouch screen!</p>
<p>Anyway, do you think Microsoft is copying Apple this time? Whatever it is, I truly hope Windows 7 will be better, not like Windows Vista which looks superb but performs badly. <img src='http://www.kongtechnology.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up until now, car owners wanting to listen to music in their cars have had to rely on the car stereos, or the most use <a href="http://www.kongtechnology.com/2007/08/25/i-can-play-thousands-of-mp3-songs-with-my-mp3-fm-modulator/">FM modulators</a>. That&#8217;s really troublesome and inconvenience but thankfully that has come to an end. <strong>Griffin Technology</strong> recently announced a new version of the iTrip that is compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch and most other Apple iPods. The <a href="http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripautopilot" target="_out">iTrip AutoPilot</a> is the first FM transmitter that lets you listen to audio on your iPhone, iPod Touch and most other iPods through your car&#8217;s stereo system while on the move.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/images/itrip.jpg" alt="iTrip" /></p>
<p><span id="more-450"></span></p>
<p>FM transmitters or also known as FM modulators are useful for cars without other forms of audio-in. The device works the same way as other iTrip products do for the iPods. You just plug in your iPhone to the 30-pin connector, and hook up the other end into the cigarette lighter in your car. The device broadcasts the iPhone&#8217;s audio to an open FM station through a built-in FM transmitter, which you can tune in to on your car stereo.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/images/itrip-for-iphone.jpg" alt="iTrip for iPhone" /></p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;ve never been a great fan of FM transmitters&#8230; the last one and the only one I tried doesn&#8217;t produce very crispy sound after a while&#8230; but this one looks as slick as the Apple iPhone itself! Another reason to get the upcoming <strong>3G iPhone</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>MacBook Air</strong> - the thinnest and lightest laptop in the world. This picture was taken before I toyed with the laptop in the Apple store located in One Utama.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.kongtechnology.com/images/macbook-air.jpg" alt="MacBook Air" /></p>
<p>Damn, what others claim about MacBook Air is true! This beast was ultra thin and ultra portable. It was so light I could barely felt its weight on my hand. It could be 1/5 of my current laptop&#8217;s weight. Someone want to buy my <a href="http://www.kongtechnology.com/2007/06/15/my-new-compaq-presario-laptop/">Compaq Presario</a> or not? I want to change to MacBook Air!</p>
<p>Apart from MacBook Air, this store also displays and sells other Apple products, such as iPod, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, JBL speakers, earphones and etc.</p>
<p>Find out <a href="http://www.kongtechnology.com/2008/03/26/what-is-the-macbook-air-and-why-you-shouldnt-buy-it/">more about MacBook Air and why you should not buy it</a>!</p>
