Xpert: GPS vs. aGPS

Kalau anda selalu sesat di bandar, ataupun selalu kena pergi ke tempat yang baru mungkin untuk nak ambik seseorang atau menghantar barang dan korang tak tahu macam mana nak ke destinasi melalui jalan yang terpantas!

Apa lagi, Global Positioning System atau dikenali sebagai GPS memang keperluan anda!

Dulu - GPS nie memang mahal, tapi sekarang GPS terdapat dalam handphone multimedia terbaru.

Handphone yang ada GPS boleh digunakan di mana mana negara! Tetapi, korang kena la download Map untuk tiap tiap negara yang korang nak pergi untuk holiday! Tapi kalau korang nak gunakan di Malaysia - tak der hal! Memang dah siap sedia
Map untuk Malaysia.

Apa yang best pasal GPS nie ialah, katakanlah korang lapar dan nak pergi makan! Tapi tak tahu nak makan di-mana! Senang jer, boleh check di-dalam GPS untuk restoran-restoran berhampiran dengan lokasi anda. Nak pilih Fast Food, Western Food, Italian, Kedai Mamak pun ada!

Kalau korang nak carik rumah kawan korang pun boleh! Asalkan ada nama jalan GPS nie boleh bagi direction untuk korang pergi ke rumah kawan korang! Apa lagi - dapatkan handphone yang ada GPS supaya korang boleh save duit petrol (tak payah sesat-sesat lagi dah) dan tiba tepat pada masa!


Di-bawah ialah beberapa info tentang GPS dan aGPS (Assisted GPS) untuk anda!
Terima-kasih kepada www8.garmin.com & www.tracyandmatt.co.uk

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

A-GPS or Assisted GPS is a technology that uses an assistance server to cut down the time needed to determine a location using GPS. It is useful in urban areas, when the user is located in "urban canyons", under heavy tree cover, or even indoors. It is becoming more common and it's commonly associated with Location Based Services.


A-GPS differs from regular GPS by adding another element to the equation, the Assistance Server. In regular GPS networks there are only GPS satellites and GPS receivers. In A-GPS networks, the receiver, being limited in processing power and normally under less than ideal locations for position fixing, communicates with the assistance server that has high processing power and access to a reference network. Since the A-GPS receiver and the Assistance Server share tasks, the process is quicker and more efficient than regular GPS, albeit dependent on cellular coverage.

A greater number of devices are being launched with A-GPS as it provides faster position fixing and better coverage in heavily built up areas.

Xpert: Nokia N96 (N Series)

What's nice to hold, stylish to have, packed with functions and premium content? Yes you got it right! The all new 5in1 mobile phone is here by Nokia. Bringing you a new member to the N series family - the N96.


The Short & Sweet - Simple Review:

Nokia's latest is not just a mobile phone, it's a multimedia computer which has an MP3 player, Movie Player, Gaming console, Web-enabled, GPS and much more. Oh yeah, not forgetting it can also be your external hard drive with its onboard 16GB mass storage space.

When you're on the move, storage is out of the question for the N96. With up to 24GB (16 internal + 8 on optional microSD) of memory for music, pictures, videos and more. Talking about its size, well it's compact and lightweight too!

Nowadays, the needs to have photos that you have taken at your fingertips and showing it to your friends is an added advantage when you're out with your friends! So why not, show them your photos on your phone! Not forgetting if you're bored - you can always watch videos which are of DVD-quality.

The N96 features a boastful 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics with LED flash for high quality images. Yes, i tried it myself! Will share it with you guys in a bit! The photos taken with the N96.

If you ever got lost! Or just simply want to discover new places to drop by... there's GPS on the N96 with A-GPS (Assisted GPS).

For music lovers, there's a 3.5mm headset connector onboard and you can enjoy music with dedicated keys for non-stop music enjoyment.



Some Detailed Stuffs:

Superb phone! Nokia recently came out with the N95 Version 2 with 8GB on board memory, that was the BEST phone ever with great capabilities! But this N96 - is far much better. Once you got your hands on it, you'll be hooked!

Why i like it so much is because it's screen is just so amazing! Imagine you watching The Love Guru on the screen, it's of DVD quality and the size of the screen is awesome! Going at 2.8inch, 16 million colours QVGA display. That's big enough for you to have a clear view on what you're watching here!


Here i'd like to share an in-depth on the kind of music the N96 can play! Well being a person who simply LOVES music and being on air announcing! Well i love listening to songs and this piece of art here supports MP3, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+ and not to forget WMA.

NGage games - well that's another story to talk about the NSeries phones by Nokia. Asphalt, Star Wars THE FORCE are something that i look forward to try out! It's simply different than your previous experience playing games. Definitely far much better!

Well all in all - i just have to say that i simply love the N96 as it replaces all your other gadgets and put it all into one simple multimedia computer boxed in to look like a phone, the Nokia N96.

Imagine this, not having to carry your other gadgets with you saves space and time too. Imagine having to carry 5 gadgets with you wherever you go. And lugging your digital camera along with you that's nasty. Well i tried that, it wasn't something that i looked forward to - so yeah i am happy to use the N96 camera (seriously, me being a photographer... i don't mind and am happy with the results).

Next update on the N96, will feature the rest of the features in a more in-depth detail for this new member of the N.Series family!

Xpert: Macro dan Super Macro Functions

Kebanyakan kamera digital sekarang nie semuanya ada function yang sama! Tapi kalau korang nak ambik gambar yang cool macam SHAZ! Macam gambar nie...!!! Arr tengok betul betul yer!


Di mana muka subject itu CLEAR dan FOCUS tapi backgroundnya KABUR, korang kena lah gunakan Digital Camera yang ada Macro Function! Compact Digital Camera / Prosumer Digital Camera ada function function ini. Tapi kalau korang ada duit lebih, sekarang nie... harga Digital SLR Camera hampir sama dengan harga Digital Camera biasa.

Dapatkan Camera Digital yang ada Macro Function ataupun yang lebih baik SUPER MACRO FUNCTION! Nie lagi CHUN!Bila nak ambik gambar yang backgroundnya diblurkan secara automatik, pasangkan MACRO atau SUPER MACRO Function! Kan senang.. :) - Tapi ingat cara caranya dahulu ok!

Cara-cara untuk mengambil gambar Macro:
1. Fokuskan focus point kamera kepada subject korang.
2. Tekan butang shutter setengah untuk focus kan subject.
3. Lepas subject dah difocuskan, alihkan kamera korang ke-kiri atau ke-kanan sedikit untuk dapatkan background dan ia akan nampak BLUR secara automatik.

PS: Pastikan background anda beberapa meter jauh daripada subject korang. Ini dipanggilkan "Depth of Field", dan juga pastikan kamera korang di-setkan ke Automatic / Program Mode ataupun Aperture Priority kepada yang paling rendah F2.7.

Camera Yang COOL!
1. Canon S3IS (Prosumer Camera + bersama Super Macro Function)
2. Nikon D60 (Boleh dapatkan lens yang ber-aperture rendah)
3. Nikon D300 (Bersama dengan focus point yang melebihi 20 dan dapatkan lensa yang boleh ambik gambar macro).

Sample Gambar Yang COOL!

Xpert: Norton Internet Security 2009

Lovin' your pictures that you store on your computer after a nice holiday to Pulau Langkawi, or even your very own birthday party photos for your 21st birthday (it's a must to remember), you may even transfer songs from your friends and put it on your iTunes playlist! All these can disappear all at once and render your computer filled with virus that will / can infect others as well.

Without proper protection against viruses, your computer is vulnerable to the myriad of viruses on the internet and those transferred through file sharing and so forth. There was once that i was like "Nahh..i don't transfer files from friends, i don't download songs or even movies! So i have nothing to worry about". Yeah right... well as long as i'm online on the internet i'm vulnerable to all these random attacks or even from your "friend" that you're chatting with online. Well is there a solution?

Norton Internet Security 2009 is OUT! Recently released in mid October 2008 and is currently the most talked about Antivirus / Internet Security program. It is claimed to be the world''s fastest and lightest security product!

I've tried it myself on my Dell 1525 Notebook - Although i'm running on Windows Vista Premium with a 3Gb DDR-II Ram (yes Vista takes up alot of memory), but Norton Internet Security still runs smoothly and fast! It has solved all of my problems with viruses, tracking cookies and trojans. Tracing them before anything could have happened to my notebook!

Norton Internet Security (NIS 2009), the complete protection for you to go online with and surf safely! It's installation time is as fast as in 60 seconds.The community intelligence-driven Norton Insight technology that can be found in this version of NIS 2009 removes the need to scan common files, thus greatly reducing the number of files that have to be scanned regularly. Not forgetting Pulse Updates are every 5 to 15 minutes deliver the latest protection updates faster than any other internet security programs.This is what i call "Comprehensive Protection".

What's new in NIS 2009? - Well one of the main things that you can see after installing this program is that the user interface has been greatly improved, and even comes in with a CPU usage meter!


Norton 2009 includes the Norton Protection System, a multilayered system of technologies that work in concert to stop threats before they impact you. The Norton Protection System includes:

  • Industry-leading browser protection for both Firefox and IE safeguards you from Web-based attacks.
  • Enhanced Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) engine for multimedia attacks

In a nutshell: Get yourself Norton Internet Security 2009 (BUY only the ORIGINAL - from a retail outlet near you) the most comprehensive security program for your computer. Perhaps the fastest and lightest security product you can find in the market now - thus making it not a problem for you if you don't have enough RAM on your com.
