ELECOM 10 port USB

I’ve never really had a ton of USB items that needed plugged in, but even with as few as I have, it can be extremely frustrating when you run out of ports. Then you get an extra hub and of course, that one fills up eventually. So although you may not really need 10 different USB ports, you’re just giving yourself the option to have a lot plugged in at once. It’s always better to have too many USB ports rather than too few.

sony aims big with line of mega changers

Sony is looking far into the future to further consolidate their position as one of the better home entertainment system manufacturers for the average consumer electronics market by rolling out a whole new bunch of devices, where these will include the new BDP-CX960 and the “Elevated Standard” (ES) BDP-CX7000ES 400-disc Blu-ray Disc MegaChangers. In addition, the BDP-S1000ES single disc ES player has also been announced, bringing Sony’s Blu-ray Disc line to 13 models. Just in case you were wondering how “mega” is a MegaChanger, the Blu-ray Disc MegaChanger models are able to store and play a whopping 400 Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, and CDs, letting you relocate your entire disc library to a convenient, easy-to-access location - sure as heck frees up more space on those shelves of yours to hold even more discs, if you’re so inclined.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

The latest Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 touchscreen Professional (Pocket PC) device with a horizontal sliding QWERTY keypad. It features a wide WGA screen that distinguishes it from its VGA screened Touch Pro cousin.

Experience a smartphone which contains many features you probably have not heard before. It is designed to have a 3.5mm plug for earphones, having its unique characteristics for any mobile based phone. One of the important features of the phone is its navigation cross, with a central button that doubles as a touchpad. It has slightly raised separate keys sitting a millimeter apart. It is very comfortable to write on.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1shows a little more RAM and the display is 800 x 480 as opposed to the straight-laced VGA resolution in the touch Pro. This would give the screen, and generally the entire Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, a slightly longer and narrower shell, which as well explains the lack of dedicated number keys on the keyboard. The Windows mobile base in the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has touchscreen phones. It has been supplemented with a home grown graphical interface called the X-panel, since the system itself is the textbook definition of the word clutter.

CEED Exam

About CEED:

CEED (Common Entrance Examination for Design) is an all India examination conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT, Bombay), on behalf of the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Department of Education, Government of India. The examination tests the candidates for visual perception ability, drawing skills, design aptitude and communication skills.

CEED is a qualifying examination for admission to Post Graduate M.Des. programmes at the Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay; IDDC, IIT Delhi; CPMD, IISc Bangalore; design Programme, IIT Kanpur.

STRUCTURE OF THE EXAMINATION

The duration of the CEED exam is three hours consisting of two parts.
PART A
Visual Perception and Creative Ability Test to judge Visual sensitivity and imagination.
PART B
- Written Communication
- Ability to express precisely one's thoughts on a given topic.
- Ability to comprehend a given passage in English and summarize it

DESIGN APTITUDE
