| Amazon Kindle 2 to Feature Enhancements with Longer Battery Life and PDF Support Posted: 10 Dec 2009 04:15 AM PST E-book is the current trend in these tech era and more people are moving into ebooks.As an extra effort to stay competitive in this market place, Amazon has confirmed that the new Kindle 2 device will be enhanced with battery life improvement as well as native PDF format support.
The upgrade, in the form of automatic Whispernet update is applicable for all new Kindle devices as well as the latest Kindle device which was released in October which allowed users to wirelessly download content in more than 100 countries and territories, providing international readers an access to Kindle Store (www.amazon.com/kindlestore) that includes more than 350,000 books.By having the enhancement, the new Kindle is expected to be able to last for seven days with wireless connectivity turned on, which is almost twice as long as its current version that stays at four days. However, its battery life with wireless turning off remained unchanged at approximately two weeks. Besides, another notable improvement includes the native PDF support that allows users to read PDF documents without the need of format conversion. This is the outcome of six months of intensive power management development and firmware improvement. And definitely, it will make its Kindle device competitive in current market, as an attempt to resist the new entrance such as Barnes&Noble's Nood as well as Sony's e-reader into the market space.

| Malware suspected of Black out in Windows Seven Posted: 09 Dec 2009 06:53 AM PST Reports say that some Windows users are confronted by a totally black screen after they log on to their system.Initially it was thought that Microsoft’s own security update could have caused the problem but that has now been ruled out.The software firm that suggested the security update was the problem has apologised for its claims.Reports suggest the problem also affects Windows Vista and XP. In a blog posting on the security site, Microsoft said that it had investigated the claims and “found that our November Security Updates are not making changes to the system that these reports say are responsible for these issues”. The firm said that the behaviour was associated with malware, such as Daonol, and that this was probably the root cause. Software firm Prevx, who had said the November update may have been to blame, have since retracted their statement, saying it had been a “challenging issue” to identify the cause. “Having narrowed down a specific trigger for this condition we’ve done quite a bit of testing and re-testing on the recent Windows patches including KB976098 and KB915597 as referred to in our previous blog,” the firm wrote on its website.Since more specifically narrowing down the cause we have been able to exonerate these patches from being a contributory factor.” Prevx apologised to Microsoft for “for any inconvenience” its earlier claims may have caused. The firm has issued a fix for the problem, which it says could affect “millions” of computers. “Users have resorted to reloading Windows as a last ditch effort to fix the problem,” the firm’s David Kennerley wrote in a blog post. “We hope we can help a good many of you avoid the need to reload.” Microsoft said that people who are affected by the problem should contact its customer service line. The “black screen of death” moniker is a play on the “blue screen of death”, which appears when Microsoft operating systems crash. |
