Sennheiser RS160 review- good headphone for your entertainment

RS 160 is type headphones traditional with big ears to hear, embrace the ear and good soundproof. The chassis is made from resin with the most detail to show through the translucent painted black. The extra details like the center or edges of the small belt headphones black paint makes the product attractive style, fashion more.

Sennheiser's wireless headphones use rechargeable AAA batteries, but the NiMH technology. Just twist the left ear protection in each and must be to expose the battery holder. Batteries NiMH AAA to the weight of the RS 160 is reduced more, meaning that users can easily find and replace batteries as needed. The design of the headset charger included for users to fully charge the battery directly through your headset without removing the battery charger separately.

Comfort is that users feel when using wireless headphones Sennheiser RS 160's. In the lightweight and can easily adjust the sizes of the rim cover is an advantage that this model provides headphones. However, the rim cover of the ear with a large buffer can make the listener's ears are heating up if bring too long time. This is a common drawback of the first cover headphones.

A point deducted in the design of the ears is a wireless arrangement makes the system off button users find it difficult to use. Position open source shortcut buttons in the middle two buttons to increase or decrease the volume makes the user more time to be groping to adjust the headset volume, avoid pressing the wrong and always turn off the headset off.

Comes with Sennheiser RS 160 is a wireless signal receiver is quite compact, round design style, with flat slightly translucent paint and shadow detail just like headphones. Users can now use the headset charger adapter to supply power to the transceiver or may add 2 AA batteries in just under the surface for use in cases such as when traveling and no available power source.

 The system button on the headphone

The receiver uses signals missing stereo jack 3.5 mm, allowing connection to most popular music player devices today. With a little pre-amp built-in, users can freely adjust the music volume from the transceiver to a headset or separate from the playback device. With the transmission technology Kleer uncompressed signal, the transceiver can connect with up to 4 RS 160 headset same time, at a distance of up to 16 m.

According to the specifications that manufacturers provide, these headphones can play music continuously for a maximum period of up to 24 hours. However, it is in standard testing conditions, the distance between the headset and the transceiver is fixed, the volume is also limited to a certain level. While the real test, Sennheiser RS 160 is in operation continuously for 20 hours.

 Transceiver signal included

In terms of features, RS 160 lost points when compared with some rivals such as Sony MDR-price range NC500D by noise reduction and anti noise features . Although located in the upper range of Sennheiser but at a price 159 $, the omissions, this feature makes few buyers in mind.

With RS 160, Sennheiser want to offer users a wireless headset with excellent audio quality and impressive than a product are integrated so many features associated with the ad and excessive flattering.

Usually, one of the weaknesses of wireless headphones compared to traditional wired headset as audio performance possible. The removal of the wire to help users feel comfortable using the application, more dynamic, but the technology signals via radio waves or bluetooth also makes the sound quality transmission is reduced drastically. However Sennheiser chose Kleer wireless technology, capable of uncompressed audio transmission enables efficient wireless audio performance is not diminished compared with the original signal.

Unlike Bluetooth A2DP, Kleer full use of bandwidth saving 16-bit, 44kHz, uncompressed quality of the original CD. The combination of the two large drivers gave large differences in sound quality compared with other wireless products, the RS 160 bass not only depth but also much more accurate. Moreover, the sound also shows a sharp, crystal-clear even in the high frequency range. Therefore, the warp dance music or rock music intense is the most appropriate thing to RS 160 performances. The audience felt the detail and sound quality from luxury models to test this headset with music and rock of Metalica.

With price 159$ of RS 160 can be expensive, but with the ability to demonstrate sound and highly Kleer wireless technology, Sennheiser headsets are a form of wireless headset is very attractive and options worth today.

Voice Search in underrepresented languages

Welkom*!

Today we’re introducing Voice Search support for Zulu and Afrikaans, as well as South African-accented English. The addition of Zulu in particular represents our first effort in building Voice Search for underrepresented languages. We define underrepresented languages as those which, while spoken by millions, have little presence in electronic and physical media, e.g., webpages, newspapers and magazines.

We believe that the speech research community needs to start working on many of these underrepresented languages to advance progress and build speech recognition, translation and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies. The development of NLP technologies in these languages is critical for enabling information access for everybody. Indeed, these technologies have the potential to break language barriers.

Check out the Google Research Blog for more details.

* “Welcome” in Afrikaans
** “Stay well” in Zulu

Enhancements to Google News for smartphones

(Cross-posted from the Google News Blog)

Last November, we redesigned Google News for mobile access on smartphones including Android, iPhone and Palm Pre. Today, we’re globally rolling out new usability and visual enhancements that we hope will make browsing news on your smartphone easier.

We expanded the story space to make tapping on articles easier and more accurate. Tapping anywhere on an article headline or snippet opens it up, and clicking on a section heading opens up that topic section on your screen.

In addition, the default view of stories is now collapsed, to reduce scrolling time. You can ‘expand’ a story by tapping ‘More sources’, which brings you to related stories from other sources. The screenshots below show the collapsed and expanded view of a story.




So, pick up your smartphone, point your browser to http://news.google.com, and catch up on news on the go.

HP G42- good choices for all people

HP G42 has a good configuration, using high-performance, sleek and good heat dissipation capability which is fairly thick and hard drive read speed is not high.

HP G42 is quite similar Compaq CQ42 about design but the HP G42  towards advanced users a bit more with some minor changes in design and product configuration.

Computer equipped with screen size 14 inch LED resolution 1366 x 768 pixels with the hardware configuration includes an Intel Core i5-460M-speed 2.53 GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 1GB VRAM, 500GB hard drive and optical drive DVD read.

G42 size 342 x 228 x 36.5 mm Weight 2.2 kg with 6 cell battery included. Machines without operating systems pre-installed.

Part 1: Design, Keyboard, touchpad

Design

One of the strengths and the G42 is the most attractive design. Brought many influences from the early Envy and designs inspired unibody style, G42 gives users a simple, youthful but very elegance.

On the front of machine is engraving float vein l make users feel "clean" by not sticking fingerprint and easy cleaning when needed. HP logo in the bottom as well as luxury and respect of the machine.

However, G42 is still a downside is quite thick (up to 36.5 mm). This is also a feeling for the situation worse than the weight was only 2.2 kg including batteries.

HP G42 fully equipped quite connected as VGA, HDMI, LAN, USB, microphone, headphones, card reader and Kensington lock on the left side, power jack, USB and optical drive on the right side. However, data port connection speed eSATA does not appear in this model.

Keyboard, touchpad

Do not use the design chiclet quite popular lately, but the G42 keyboard is considered good because fullsize size, key spacing and reasonably good rebound. However, the first time after the operation, the user will have to get used to feeling a bit "loose hands" because the keys bounce slightly and brings the machine explicitly.

Another advantage is the big size of the keyboard navigation keys, equivalent to the conventional keyboard feels so very comfortable to use.

Sides and also includes a keyboard design still popular seamless texture as the outer surface to slippery fingers when not in use. The operation also used on a fairly smooth with little delay. However, the two mouse buttons feels a bit heavy when pressed.

Part 2: Monitor, performance

Monitors

G42 equipped with screen size 14 inch LED resolution 1366 x 768 pixels. Similar examples of monitors are mostly used in laptops recently, G42 to show the image and color clarity, but details have weaknesses "inherent" is shiny and angles are collected narrow when used outdoors or bright light source behind the machine.

Performance

G42 version was tested with the hardware configuration includes an Intel Core i5-460M-speed 2.53 GHz, 2GB DDR3 RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 1GB VRAM memory, hard drive 500GB DVD burners and optical drives to read.

Evaluate the processor with the latest programs Cinebench R11.5.

Continue using Cinebench R11.5 program to evaluate the latest Intel Core i5-460M. A pretty powerful processor to reach 16 million laptops have the graphics card comes.

Part 3: Thermal, battery, audio

Radiator

The most interesting point in the G42 is the heat dissipation capability. Despite many complaints to the HP series so far, G42 has a good cooling system. External cavity radiator on the left side as usual, this model also has a fan inlet at the bottom edge to increase heat capacity of the machine.

Therefore, when use as web surfing, music playback, the machine is not too hot and can still be used on two legs. Section is a bit warmer on those still in the acceptable level.

Battery

Tested: Firefox 10 loading site and automatically reloaded every 15 minutes, add a page to open online music and for continuous playback using headphones instead of speakers and to the volume at 70% level 50% light machine run until it automatically shut down (the 5% level), the time it reaches 1 hour 57 minutes.

Using Battery Mark 1.1 Imtac program to measure time using the battery until the machine automatically shut down.

Meanwhile a treadmill test for HD movie playback 720p and continuously until the machine off, turn off Wi-Fi connection, instead of using external speakers and headphones at the volume level to 70% (negative bar of Windows Media Player program to 100%), 50% brightness until the machine runs itself off (also at 5% battery), then this time will be 2 hours 11 minutes.

The figures show that testing machines have an average battery life, compared with the equivalent experimental results in many other popular laptop.

Audio


GP G42 uses Altec Lansing speakers sound quite clear, with bass treble clear whether real or not, but compared with a range of money and many other laptops, the G42 is really suitable for personal entertainment needs personnel, especially in the space of less than 25 m2.

Advantage - Nice design. - Configure attractive - Good quality speakers. - Good radiator. Disadvantage - Lack of eSATA. - Machinery bit thick. - High speed hard drive yet. You can see more detail technical this laptop in Amazon : HP G42-247SB 14.1-Inch Laptop

The power of Google Instant, now in your pocket

(Cross-posted on the Official Google Blog.)

Google Instant makes search faster by displaying not just predictions but actual search results as you type. This saves valuable time on a desktop browser, but wouldn’t it be great to have Google Instant on mobile devices, where each keystroke and page load is much slower and you frequently have just a moment to find the information you need?

In September we announced that we were working to bring Google Instant to mobile, and today we’re making a beta version available to most iPhone and Android devices in the U.S. To try it out, go to google.com in your phone’s browser and tap the Google Instant “Turn on” link beneath the search box (if you don’t see the “Turn on” link, try waiting a moment and then refresh the page).

Like the desktop version of Google Instant, when you type on your mobile device you’ll see predictions of what you might be searching for. If you type [anse], for example, you should see [ansel adams] along with other predictions. Results for the first prediction appear automatically, and tapping on the other predictions will display those results. Pressing the enter key or the search button skips the predictions and will display results for exactly what you’ve typed. Check out our demo video:



With Google Instant on mobile, we’re pushing the limits of mobile browsers and wireless networks. You will probably notice a big improvement in speed when you search thanks to a new AJAX and HTML5 implementation for mobile that dynamically updates the page with new results and eliminates the need to load a new page for each query.

Google Instant for mobile works best on 3G and WiFi networks, but since the quality of any wireless connection can fluctuate, we’ve made it easy to enable or disable Google Instant without ever leaving the page. Just tap the “Turn on” or “Turn off” link.

We hope you’ll enjoy using Google Instant for mobile as much as we enjoyed making it. It’s currently available for Android 2.2 (“Froyo”) devices and iPhones and iPods running iOS 4 in the U.S. in English. We’re working to support additional countries and languages and more devices in the coming months, so stay tuned.
