Actron launches new scanner, mechanics Weep

2 years ago we reported on the CarMD you what is wrong with your car could tell was as an error light came on your dashboard. This was already looking for a little dated in 2010 so we have a new is for you: the ActronCP9180 scanners. This little beauty will tell you in a matter of seconds what’s wrong with your car (assuming it is newer than 1996) and comes in an ugly fetching orange and blue (at least it will be hard to lose).

The scanner has a USB connection available for you to hook up to the Internet and download new codes (future-proofing your device) as being able to dump of the data on your laptop.

Perhaps the best feature on this scanner that the registry problems as they occur, and you can rewind “” to see what happened. This is unlike other scanners if present, making the problem with the frustrating task of trying to recreate the problem by trial and error to an error code appears on the screen.

“And what price should I pay to protect myself from expensive mechanics?”, I hear you cry. Slightly more than $ 100 is the answer. Think of it as an investment and you should be able to make your money back by saving you in mechanics costs and time and time again.

Canon launches new EOS Rebel

The Canon EOS Rebel T2i is seen as the “flagship” of entry-level digital SLR cameras from Canon (so it’s the best of the worst, right?). While the camera is quite similar to the previous EOS Rebel, many of the functions have been improved slightly to produce a high-specification camera more feature-packed all round.

The resolution on this camera is an impressive 18 Megapixels and the screen is so great if you’re on a camera of this quality would expect – it’s also easy to use; a bonus in comparison with some of her competitors! The resolution of the camera means that photos produced 6 feet by 4 feet at its actual size, should you ever want to print them out at 100% (stock up on these ink cartridges).

Although the camera looks slim in the matte black rubber, can the camera a more tacky feel to it, if you compare it with some of the more expensive rivals. However, for the price, it is good value for money-you must have more bothered about what kind of pictures that it can produce and the quality is very good.

Battery life is also down on other more expensive competitors. Video recording is very good and can videos up to 4 GB in size or 30 minutes long, the battery capacity has to do, however, 100 minutes.

Generally a very nice digital SLR for the price and, to be honest, you can go wrong with a Canon too far.

Diaspora, open-source Facebook-like network launches alpha testing

The open source social networking site called Diaspora network opened its site to a limited number of alpha testers. Diaspora is the result of a backlash to Facebook closed network sometimes controversial privacy policy. Two of the main objectives of the Diaspora to users themselves all their data and decide how and with whom it is shared.

Diaspora and other upstarts clear face (pardon the pun) a competitive mountain in the way of Facebook and its over 500 million users. Perhaps, if Diaspora was active as Facebook went through some growing pains regarding its privacy policy and controls, they may have been able to siphon off some of its users.

Even that series of missteps, however, was not enough to have a significant number of users of Facebook. And let’s be honest-there are still many users who are not aware of and/or don’t care what and how much they “share” with the world.

Facebook advantage still lies in the fact that you have a Facebook account to communicate with other FBers. That door open to a crack as diaspora and/or others like it are able to build up enough of a following. Diaspora users can simply pray for FB to slip up once again with their privacy policy or as a data loss disaster of biblical proportions.

If that is unlikely, or at least don’t have too much of an effect on Facebook numbers, the end result may just be that the handful of people out there who are interested in more control over their data and privacy are both Diaspora and Facebook accounts and just what their share in the last network.
