SteelSeries QCK Limited Edition Aion Mousepad Review

Published by in Recaps on September 19th, 2011

 

The SteelSeries QCK Limited Edition Aion Mousepad Is a fantastic piece of kit, its eye catching and is a fantastic surface for gaming, video editing and photoshop work.

If you need precision then this Mousepad is sure to provide whatever you need in terms of accuracy.

The only downside is that the mousepad is made of a cloth material and sometimes can get scratched by any sort of sharp objects you have laying around.

This Mousepad is overall wonderful and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new one!

Tech History Ep.1 Recap

Published by in Recaps on September 19th, 2011

I recently released a new video in a series, the series is called “Tech History”

To recap Episode One I’m Going to Give you a written Version of what I talk about in this video.

 

Netbooks, a relatively new piece of technology, that over the last few years everyone has grown to love.

But how were they introduced into the market in the first place? That’s what we’re going to take a look at today.

 

In March 1997 Apple computers introduced a subcompact laptop called the “Emate 300”. A year after its release it was discontinued. But this was what many believe to be the start of the netbook.

Now let’s jump forward almost 10 years, in October 2007 the Asus EEE pc 4g was released. The laptop featured a 7 inch screen and originally ran on Linux, but soon after Asus started to create windows versions.

When the netbook was first released was targeting a small emerging market. But in 2008 Netbooks had begun to take market share away from notebooks, after companies like MSI started making them.

Netbooks have now grown so big that in 2013 it is estimated that the netbook would sell almost 140 million units!

 

Now let’s talk internals, the processor used in the first Asus EEE pc was an Intel Celeron M processor which was originally clocked at 900 MHz but was underclocked to only 630 MHz. The latest models of netbooks now use a 1.6 or 1.66 GHz Intel atom processor. And to top it off, now most netbooks have an inbuilt GPU!

Whats to come on TechToast.org

Published by in Blog on September 13th, 2011

I’ve seen alot of websites created by small Tech Youtubers such as myself and then only a month or so later shut down as the user or creator looses interest.

I plan for my site to be different, I’ve set a new scedule for my videos and also a scedule for my website, so you’ll always know when a video is going to be uploaded!

If the scedule is broken I.E I don’t post a video on the set date then I’m either sick or very busy!

The next post will outline any questions you may have and also I will post the scedule.

 

Thanks!

This App is fantastic, boasting almost all the features the paid version has and also having a fantastically simple, streamlined and eye catching interface.

The App and server are both very easy to set up which surprised me and ran very well.

Both audio and Video had no stutters and ran flawlessly even when using the live conversion feature.

I would definitely recommend picking this app up and if you have any trouble with it follow the tutorial above!
