Green From Tangent

The market for all-in-one desktop computer systems is certainly growing as a number of new manufacturers are announcing their own all-in-one solutions. Currently, Apple is the undisputed leader, with major names such as HP, Dell, Gateway and Sony following in its footsteps, with their own products. Systems like the iMac, XPS One or Gateway One can provide users with everything they need in a mainstream
and high-performance desktop computer system, but in a more compact and user friendly package. Tangent, a company that also specializes in computing devices and all-in-one systems, announced today the Evergreen 17.

Unlike most of the other all-in-one systems currently available on the market, the Evergreen 17 has been designed as an ultra power efficient all-in-one computer with touch-screen display. Built as a “green” PC, Tangent claims that the Evergreen 17 is environmentally-friendly and has extremely low power requirements, and according to the company, the system has been designed to meet the computing requirements of schools.

“Not only do users experience computing with a touch screen LCD in a space-saving form factor, they also get industry leading power efficiency at 24 watts and 72% less energy usage than Energy Star 4.0 limits,” said Douglas Monsour, Tangent president. “This translates into cost-savings while, at the same time, helping the environment.”

Nikon’s D90, First For DSLR with a Movie Shooting Mode

First and foremost, let’s see what the major improvements and innovations brought by Nikon’s new DSLR are. And we’ll start with the camera’s most important element, the sensor. Nikon decided to drop CCDs for this particular model and went with a newly designed, 12.3 effective megapixel sensor, which enhances the quality of the shots.

Furthermore, the wide sensitivity range, of ISO 200 to 3200, delivers low-noise characteristics throughout, while the sensitivity can be increased to Hi 1 (ISO 6400 equivalent) and decreased to Lo 1 (ISO 100 equivalent) to expand shooting versatility.

And since we’ve reached the issue of versatility, it’s also important to underline yet another major feature of the D90. According to the company, this is the world’s first DSLR equipped with a movie mode, meaning that it’s capable of shooting 320 x 216 pixel, 640 x 424 pixel or HD720p (1,280 x 720 pixels) movies at 24 frames per second in motion JPEG format.

While this particular function might actually improve the sales figures, there are lots of amateur and semi-pro photographers out there who feel that it somewhat “taints” the idea of DSLR, since it’s something usually encountered in the case of compact, point and shoot and bridge digital cameras.
