Sony to pull out of LCD JV with Samsung

TOKYO: Sony Corp ,struggling with a loss-making television business, is in negotiations to pull out of its LCD joint venture with South Korea's Samsung Electronics in a bid to cut costs.The Japanese electronics and entertainment giant is aiming to reach an agreement by the end of this year to sell its nearly 50 percent stake in liquid-crystal display joint venture S-LCD to Samsung.Sony intends to rely more on outsourcing to reduce procurement costs to cope with rapidly declining prices of LCD panels due to a global oversupply.

South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo had a similar report on the joint venture breakup in July, which Sony denied. A well-informed industry source told Reuters in Seoul that such reports seem to be "distorted" because Sony has been negotiating with Samsung over its return on investment in the joint venture, rather than shareholdings. "Under the contract on the LCD joint venture, the two parties are allowed to discuss such matters, which outsiders could misunderstand as a step for Sony to withdraw from the joint venture," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

In April, the two companies cut capital in the joint venture by $555 million as Sony sought to slash its TV losses and Samsung pushed ahead with next generation displays.
Sony is under pressure to show it can reduce its exposure to the loss-making TV unit and concentrate on developing its strategy for smartphones. Last week, it announced it will take control of its mobile phone joint venture with Ericsson as it seeks to exploit its music and video applications to help it catch smartphone leaders such as Apple Inc .Sony reports July-September results on Wednesday. Analysts are forecasting Sony will fall short of its operating profit outlook of 200 billion yen ($2.63 billion) for the year to March 2012, with consumer confidence wobbling in Europe and the United States and as the strong yen bites into profits.
The electronics giant, which competes with Samsung and LG Electronics in televisions, needs to slash costs as it heads for its eighth straight annual loss in its TV business. Sony has already sold off TV factories in Spain, Slovakia and Mexico in the past few years and outsources more than half of production to companies including Hon Hai Precision Industry. It retains four TV plants of its own in Japan, Brazil, China and Malaysia.

Samsung’s new phones will have flexible screens

Samsung‘s new mobile device lineup will feature flexible screens starting in 2012, the company announced today.

In its quarterly earnings call, Samsung’s vice president of investor relations, Robert Yi, told investors, analysts and press, “The flexible display we are looking to introduce sometime in 2012, hopefully the earlier part. The application probably will start from the handset side.”

After flexible-screen mobile phones roll out, the company plans to introduce the same technology for tablets and other devices.

In January 2011, Samsung purchased Liquivista, a strategic acquisition that will allow it to produce the kinds of displays that were announced today. Liquivista made electrowetting display technology, which is used to create mobile and other consumer electronic displays that are bright, low-power, flexible and transparent.

Flexible screen technology was also a focus of Samsung’s in March, when Yongsuk Choi, director of Samsung Mobile Display, gave an overview of the company’s future mobile device plans. At that time, Choi said most of the flexible-display technology Samsung was working on was still in very early stages.

Flexible displays have been on the fringes of up-and-coming mobile technologies for some time. For example, we saw a bendable e-reader from Plastic Logic back in 2008.

More recently, Sony, in particular, has shown some interesting work in the field, demonstrating its first flexible display at CES in early 2009 and showing off advanced, thinner, more flexible displays just last year.

Still, flexible screens aren’t something we’re seeing on the mass market yet; we wonder if consumers will warm to the idea when Samsung takes the wraps off these new devices.

Samsung recently surpassed Apple as the top smartphone manufacturer, shipping 27.8 million smartphones last quarter. Altogether, Samsung’s current share of the smartphone market is 23.8 percent.

How to Make Computer More Faster

Reducing heat 

Some people use the computer for many hours, due to this computer becomes over heated. Over heat is not good for your computer as it runs slowly. To avoid this problem one should have free flow of air to their computers like some people removes the casing cover so that air will flow freely. Another way is to buy extra fan and connect to computer casing. It is very easy to connect extra fan, just you need to tight with provided screw and connect to extra power supply cable. The third method is to maintain very low room temperature by using AC or air coolers so that heat generated by the computer can be cooled and make the computer to run sufficiently.

Scanning of Virus and removing

Virus can enter into your computer in two ways. One way is from your external storage like pen drives, external hard disk, flash drive, and diskette. Secondly, it can enter from internet. Your computer should always have antivirus installed in it that will protect from all unwanted programs. If you buy brand new computer it should be pre-installed with antivirus program. You can also use free and trial version of antivirus program like Avira, Avast, AVG or etc, which you can download from internet and install them in your computer. Installing antivirus program is not enough to protect your computer. You should also update the antivirus on daily bases so it can detect and remove virus present in the system as well as new virus. If you are unable to update your antivirus on daily bases, then better switch on automatic mode so that it can automatically update on daily bases when you connect internet to your computer.

Disk Defragmentation

When you copy, paste, create or delete a file from your computer then it will make your computer fragment. In simpler terms fragmentation means files are written in various locations in your hard disk. So that computer takes longer time to search those files to run and create empty space in between the files. To fulfill these gaps defragmentation of your disk drive is required.

To perform disk defragmentation, go to C: drive, go to ‘Properties’, ‘Tools’ tab then you can see‘Defragmentation’. Click on it then wait until finish. The more files on your hard disk the longer it take to finish.

Drive scan disk

Drive scan disk is similar to defrag, where operating system repairs bad sector and so on. It will work like medical check up to your computer.

To access, go to C: drive, go to properties, tools bar, and chick “ERROR CHECKING” tab and system will ask for restart in order to run full scan disk.

Controlling user Account

Windows computer operating system can create multiple users in one computer.  Your computer may share with your family members or you can share via Local Area Networks (LAN) or WI-FI.  You can manage these by user accounts, go to ‘control panel’, ‘User Accounts’. You will be safe and stable once you limit user activities on your computer account by specifying them as guest or anadministrator or Limited user.  These account settings can be done by owner of the computer which he as complete access to his computer.

10 reasons why PCs crash U must Know

10 reasons why PCs crash U must Know

Fatal error: the system has become unstable or is busy," it says. "Enter to return to Windows or press Control-Alt-Delete to restart your computer. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information in all open applications."

You have just been struck by the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Mcft Windows will be familiar with this. What can you do? More importantly, how can you prevent it happening?

1 Hardware conflict

The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an interrupt request channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device.

For example, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.

If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:

* Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Device Manager.

Often if a device has a problem a yellow '!' appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.

Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as 'IRQ holder for PCI steering'. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.

Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is www.driverguide.com. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty).

When working inside a computer you should switch it off, unplug the mains lead and touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.

To be fair to Mcft, the problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.

2 Bad Ram

Ram (random-access memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying Fatal Exception Error. A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.

Increasing network browsing speed

Does your computer slow down when you browse your local area network and connect to other computers that are sharing data? One of the most common causes of this slowdown is a feature of Windows Explorer that looks for scheduled tasks on remote computers. This effort can take some time on some computers and can really slow down your browsing. The window with which you are browsing the network may appear to freeze momentarily, as the system is waiting for a response from the remote computer.

Windows XP: Speeding Disk Access

Although this problem is a complex one, the solution is very simple. Instead of having to wait for the remote scheduled tasks, which is useless information to anyone who is not a system administrator remotely configuring scheduled tasks, you can disable this feature.

WHAT IS A REGISTRY CLEANER AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?

If you've suffered attacks of slow computer processing times or sudden errors in your computer programs, someone may have suggested that you use a registry cleaner. There are varying opinions on whether registry cleaners work, but the simple answer is, yes. If you use a cleaner correctly they will help control the problems you've encountered on your computer. It also helps with the performance of your machine.



The computer registry is a detailed list of the installed and uninstalled programs, hardware and software attached to any computer. After frequent long term usage, the registry can become cluttered and start to impede the processing on your computer. It is common for that to happen when you have programs installed and then you remove them from your computer. This will lead the memory on your computer to have blank spots and other things and makes the computer go in a different route to try and pull up the information from the memory.
Errors occur on computers when numerous programs, links and repairs are added to the registry over a considerable amount of time. These errors begin to slow your computer and eventually can cause the computer to crash or lock up when it senses a threat to its internal system. There are simple solutions to de-cluttering your registry to improve speed and performance of the system.
There are numerous benefits from correctly using a registry cleaner. The amount of errors of driver process failure will decrease considerably if it is cleaned regularly; less time will be spent in frustration over the constant errors and frozen computers; the computer speed will increase during not only start up and shut down, but while you're using the system; corrupt entries that can do fatal damage to your system will be eliminated.
When you decide to use a registry cleaner software program, there are a few items you'll want to keep in mind:

• Choose software compatible with your system. Check the requirements before you purchase any software and if you have questions, contact the company first. Additional damage can be caused by incompatible programs. It's important to know what operating system is on your computer before choosing.


• Cleaner programs offer varying degrees of user ability. Scheduled scans for timed checks of your system will help your computer work smoothly and more efficiently. Quick scans offer immediate help if you encounter a problem while working on the computer. Most cleaners will run a window in the background and launch automatically to make it a carefree and easy to use program.


• As files become corrupt or damaged in the computer, the cleaner program will try to remove these files. Unfortunately many of them cannot detect whether the file is imperative to maintaining the use of certain other programs in the computer and could cause unexpected problems. Search for a registry cleaner that offers an option to check the invalid entries before removing them so you can safeguard your wanted programming.

In today's software market there is a registry cleaning program right for just about any consumer. Make sure you find the right fit for your needs, your abilities and your operating system. Compare programs for not only pricing but what is offered and ease of use.
Registry cleaners, if used properly, can increase the speed and life of your computer immensely. They are easy to maintain and update and may save you many hours of frustration and errors. Head to Download.com where you can find a free registry cleaner  that will work effectively and will be able to help you have a faster and efficient system.

Intel Redesigns Transistors, Computers to Get Faster and Cheaper

A new chip design by Intel Corp. is a major development in the computer industry, and a major advance for the processing power of computers.

Intel Corp. noted in a statement yesterday that it had redesigned the electronic switches used on its computer chips, a move that will allow the chip maker to produce both faster chips and make them less expensive. Intel achieved the increased speed by adding so-called "fins" to the base of the otherwise flat chips. While the technical details may be lost on the vast majority of the public, what it all amounts to is that your next computer purchase is likely to be cheaper than it otherwise would have been.

The new chips will be produced during 2011 and will begin being added to computers next year. Intel has been working on these new "tri-gate" transistors for about ten years now, even as other chip makers are also working on similar designs. Already, analysts in the industry are calling it one of the most significant developments in silicon transistors since the integrated circuit was invented over 50 years ago. Noted Dan Hutcheson, CEO of VLSI Research, Inc. and one who follows the industry, "When I looked at it, I did a big, ‘Wow.’ What we’ve seen for decades now have been evolutionary changes to the technology. This is definitely a revolutionary change."

Hutcheson also noted that "People have been trying to avoid changing the structure," but with the new advance that line of thinking is out the window. The new design, as noted, will mean that processing speeds will continue to grow while at the same time the price of a new computer will continue to shrink.

Computer Clean Up Tips To Speed Up Your PC

If you’re tired of always beating the deadline due to a slow laptop or slow desktop; if you’re sick of restarting the system because of freezes, and the like, it’s about time that you find out how you can make your computer faster. Do not think that the only way you can increase PC performance is by bringing it to a technician – there are computer clean up steps you can take that will help to significantly speed up your PC. Here are some of them:

Hard Drive Defragmentation

Defragmenting the drive means letting the system become more organized, the files will be compressed, etc, making it easier to access programs, files, or documents, freeing up some space on the disk, and so forth. There’s a built in Disk Defragmenter tool in every laptop or desktop, and it is best that you use it on a monthly or even on a weekly basis (depending on how frequently you use your personal computer) to really make your computer faster. The process takes half an hour to one or two hours, depending on the number of files and programs you have. While the tool is running, make sure that all windows or applications are closed, for effective and faster defragmenting.

Removal Of Unused Applications And Files

Part of computer clean up steps that help increase PC performance is for you to review the system and check for any unused programs, malfunctioning applications, and so on. By removing those kinds of files, you’ll be able to speed up your PC. For unused documents, you can instantly delete them and then, empty the Recycle bin. For applications or programs that you want removed, you should use their uninstallers or remove them from the Add/Remove Program directory, and then, delete them completely from the Recycle Bin. Check for these files at least once a month, do the necessary deletion, and voila, you’ll be able to make your computer faster.

Updating The Drivers And Applications

To increase PC performance, you also have to ensure that the drivers and the programs are updated or have the latest versions. You see, if their versions are not up-to-date, they could malfunction or can affect the performance of your system negatively. Most applications or software automatically prompt for the need to update the versions or drivers – all you have to do is to click OK or Yes, and the update will start.

Other computer clean up tips and tricks that will really speed up your PC are: scanning for viruses and malware and cleaning them out using a reliable anti virus and anti malware program; deleting the temporary files, cookies, Internet history, etc; among others.

New Features of Intel’s Next Generation Processor—Poulson

At last week's Hot Chips conference in California, Intel released the updated architecture features of its upcoming Itanium processor with the codename as “Poulson”. The new architecture features include Instruction Replay, improved Hyper-Threading and new instructions and so on, aiming to use the next-generation 12-wide release architecture.

The Instruction Replay technology is one of the new features, which could make the wrong instruction re-execute, and then automatically cover the serious mistakes and further help to prevent the system collapse and data damage. Additionally, this Instruction Replay technology is an important remote access services update and the first Intel chip to have the capability.

General Manager at Intel's Data Center Group, Pauline Nist said, “utilizes a new pipeline architecture to expand error detection in order to capture transient errors in execution. Upon error detection, instructions can then be re-executed from the instruction buffer queue to automatically recover from severe errors to improve resiliency.”

Besides these, for almost all main architectures in the Itanium electronic component core design, “Poulson” adds extensive RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) protections, including LLC (last level cache), MLI (mid-level instruction cache), MLD (mid-level data cache), IEU (integer execution unit) and FPU (floating-point unit), etc.

This technology enables the second feature, improved Hyper-Threading which brings better performance and support for Dual Domain Multithreading. This allows for front and backend pipeline execution, therefore improving Poulson's parallelism.

Moreover, Intel is adding instructions in four areas as well. There are new integer operations, expanded data access hints, expanded software prefetch and thread control. It is worthwhile for Xeon customers to keep an eye on Itanium updates and features because they are likely to appear in future Xeon CPUs.

The new Itanium instructions of Intel simplify unified task and branch operations to help the future Itanium to promote into the next level.

Key points of “Poulson”:

· Eight high capacity core

· 54MB memory chips (50MB of an SRAM)

· Adopting 32 nm made 3.1 billion transistors

· The higher, the bus speed (QPI and SMI) will increase 33% system bandwidth

· The next generation of architecture improves the new data and instructions channel, floating point channel and instruction cache.

· Improve the power management function, reduce the socket power consumption.

· Compatible with the present Intel Itanium 9300 processor series.

Intel announced that “Poulson” Itanium processor is the most advanced Intel processor so far which is about to launch in 2012. The next-generation Itanium processor followed “Poulson” is code-named as “Kittson” which is being developed and would be released in 2014.

How to Determine Which Kind of Remote Desktop Solution is the Right One for Your Business

n the world of Remote Access tools, there are a few choices that you have when it comes to selecting a remote access solution for your business.

The two main categories of these tools are: server based remote access programs and PC to PC remote access programs. In the server based model, the client PC connects to a remote server which is dedicated for this purpose. The user is then presented with a virtual desktop. One main advantage of this is that it allows more than one user to be logged into the server at the same time, as each user would have their own separate login and desktop. A PC to PC type of remote access tool would run on a PC, which is also usually a workstation when not used remotely. The user can connect to it from another computer or a mobile device. While this is the simplest and most inexpensive form of remote access, it may not be suitable for everyone. This is because with this kind of PC Remote Control Software, the server PC can only be used by one user at a time in the majority of cases.
Here are some factors to consider when you want to decide on which kind of solution you would like to implement. Your level of technical skill and the presence of a tech support or IT department in your company

In general, server based remote desktop software applications are more complex and slightly harder to configure and manage than a PC to PC software type. However, you don't really need to be an IT professional to install a server based virtualization solution, but you would still need to be comfortable working around computers and know some networking terminology.
