GADGET of the DAY: Wacom Inkling Digital Pen
Inkling. The designer’s tool on the go.
Do you start your artwork with pen and paper? But at the same time regret that your work is stuck on paper until you have scanned the image? Then Inkling is an indispensable tool for you. This digital sketch pen allows you to sketch with a real ballpoint pen on any paper. While you are drawing, all strokes are recorded electronically which can then be imported as raster or vector artwork in to your preferred graphics application for further editing. With just one button click you can record layers, for instance, to separate preparatory and final drawings. These layers are then retained after import.
In a nutshell, Inkling enables you to start off your artwork the traditional way, while making the first step of your digital workflow simultaneously – wherever you are.

Toshiba announces hybrid drive combining NAND Flash and hard drive expertise
Hybrid Drive transforms user experience with extreme speed and capacity, giving a "best-of-both-worlds" approach to personal computing
IRVINE, Calif., September 25, 2012 - Toshiba's Storage Products Business Unit of Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc., a committed technology leader, today announced customer shipments of its first Hybrid Drive, the MQ01ABDH series. The series provides the ideal combination of performance found in solid state disks (SSDs) and the capacity and cost-effectiveness of hard disk drives (HDDs) with capacities up to 1 terabyte2 (TB).
Developed to enhance the PC user experience, the new 2.5-inch 9.5mm high SATA Hybrid Drive series features "self-learning" caching algorithms that learn the system user's data access patterns to optimize performance. The self-learning caching algorithms also manage which user data is stored to the NAND Flash for quick response to the near future access from the host, as well as how the data in the NAND Flash is updated based on intelligent access pattern learning.
"Hybrid Drives represent a significant innovative technology for Toshiba in combining the high-performance features of NAND Flash, with the key HDD attributes of large capacity and cost-effective data storage," said Joel Hagberg, vice president of marketing at Toshiba's Storage Products Business Unit. "As the only storage company which designs and manufactures HDDs as well as NAND flash, Toshiba is in a unique position to capitalize on these benefits because the expertise on how these technologies function resides within Toshiba."
Toshiba's MQ01ABDH series transforms the user experience with extreme responsiveness and breakthrough performance enabling faster system boot-up times and data access. Available in 1TB and 750GB1 capacities, the MQ01ABDH 100 and MQ01ABDH 075 drives are ideally suited for ultrathin and standard-sized notebooks, gaming PCs, all-in-one and slimline desktops and other digital computing applications where a no-compromise approach to system performance and storage capacity is desired.
The MQ01ABDH series will be featured in various notebook PCs, with the first systems shipping in time for the holiday season.

Samsung Unveils New SSD Series at SSD Global Summit
SEOUL, Korea - September, 24, 2012 - Samsung Electronics (UK) Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, today announced its new lineup of high-performance SSDs designed for use in personal computers. The new series supporting SATA 6.0 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) interface comes in two tracks; one for general computing purposes and another, an advanced lineup dubbed ‘PRO' for serious users.
The Samsung SSD Global Summit held at the Shilla hotel in Seoul, Korea, was attended by approximately 70 tech media and power bloggers across the globe for a first-hand experience of the new series. The full-day program provided sessions covering an in-depth look at the technology, features and capabilities of the new storage devices.
As part of the pre-launch event, following the summit, editors will be invited to release product reviews offering consumers with proof points and information regarding the usability and performance levels of the new series in daily user environments.
Samsung's tiered offering for professional and general user environments provides consumers a broader choice of SSDs to best suit their personal requirements.
The unrivaled performance of Samsung's SSDs lies in its MDX controller, which delivers superior performance, high reliability and sustainability that are among the product's proprietary features. The premium class 840 PRO provides 100,000 input/ output per second (IOPS) for random read and 90,000 IOPS for random write*. Benchmark test** on the overall system performance unveiled a three-fold advancement when applying the 840 PRO in place of a conventional hard disk drive.
Mr. UnSoo Kim, vice president of Memory brand product marketing team, Samsung Electronics, said, "Introduction of Samsung's 840 SSD series delivers considerable levels of advancements to the notebook user environment. As a technology pioneer, Samsung continues to raise the level of performance of SSDs and contribute to the growing global pool of users enjoying the conveniences of high-performance SSDs."

Individualise the Bamboo Stylus pocket
The Bamboo Stylus pocket uses a best-in-class responsive pen tip for on-screen usage. Consumers are able to choose between a soft or firm nib dependent on the individual needs. The soft ones are for those wanting to apply less pressure, whereas the firm nib enables stronger pressure while doodling or writing. The Bamboo Stylus pocket also comes with three exchangeable colour rings allowing for the individual to personalise the tool.
Bamboo Paper App

The benefits of the Wacom Intuos5 Graphics Tablet
The benefits of the Wacom Intuos5 Graphics Tablet:
The Human Touch
The addition of Multi-Touch to the Intuos5 gives you an alternate input method. It's natural to use and the perfect complement to the pen in your creative process. Totally immerse yourself in your creative work as you use one hand to pan, zoom and rotate your canvas, and then use your pen to precisely create your work.
Keep Your Eyes On Your Work
With Intuos5, set-up the ExpressKeys™ for your own unique configuration of time-saving shortcuts and modifiers. If you ever need a reminder of an ExpressKey function, lightly rest your finger on the capacitive ExpressKey, and see an instant, on-screen reminder of the key’s function.
Wireless Capability
Intuos5 brings natural pen control to your PC or Mac through a single USB connection. If you prefer, any size Intuos5 tablet can be easily converted to an RF wireless connection with the Wacom Wireless Accessory Kit (sold separately)
Professional Pen Performance
In order to simulate traditional pens, markers and brushes, the Intuos5 Grip Pen features 2048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity as well as pen tilt recognition. Varying the pressure of the pen against the tablet can create variations in line width and opacity or can be used to create unique brush effects.
Modern Ergonomic Design
The innovative design of Intuos5 features soft-touch, matte-black finish with illuminated accents. The ergonomic design allows you to flip the Intuos5 tablets in either direction to suit left-handed or left- or right-handed use. Available in three wide-format sizes, small, medium and large, you can choose the perfect size to fit your specific working style and workflow needs.
Wacom Tip Sensor
Featuring Wacom’s innovative pen tip sensor, Intuos5 captures the slightest nuance of pen pressure starting with only a single gram of pressure. With every stroke, Intuos captures even the most subtle nuances of pressure, giving you the creative power to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, line weight, opacity and more by pressing harder or softer with the pen.
Customizable ExpressKeys™
With the Intuos5 ExpressKeys™, you will work smarter, not harder. Use the default short cuts already set to the ExpressKeys, or set your own application specific shortcuts. Combined with the on-screen ExpressView, you will have easy reference to all your short cuts, so you can fly through your work more intuitively than ever.
Multi-Function Touch Ring
A favorite feature among Intuos users, the finger-sensitive Multi-Function Touch Ring provides you with control of up to four-user defined functions such as scrolling, zooming, brush size, canvas rotation and more.
Convenience
The lightweight pen stand not only provides a convenient pen holder, but also functions as a handy twist-off storage compartment for pen nibs and handy nib removal tool. Standard, felt, stroke and flex nibs ship with the Intuos5, allowing you to simulate working with a variety of traditional art and design materials.

Intel to Software Developers: Embrace Era of Transparent Computing
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, San Francisco, Sept. 12, 2012 – Today at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF), Renée James, senior vice president and general manager of the Software and Services Group at Intel Corporation, outlined her vision for transparent computing. This concept is made possible only through an “open” development ecosystem where software developers write code that will run across multiple environments and devices. This approach will lessen the financial and technical compromises developers make today.
“With transparent computing, software developers no longer must choose one environment over another in order to maintain profitability and continue to innovate,” said James. “Consumers and businesses are challenged with the multitude of wonderful, yet incompatible devices and environments available today. It’s not about just mobility, the cloud or the PC. What really matters is when all of these elements come together in a compelling and transparent cross-platform user experience that spans environments and hardware architectures. Developers who embrace this reality are the ones who will remain relevant.”
Software developers are currently forced to choose between market reach, delivering innovation or staying profitable. By delivering the best performance with Intel's cross-platform tools, security solutions and economically favorable distribution channels, the company continues to take a leadership position in defining and driving the open software ecosystem.
Develop to Run Many Places
While developers regularly express their desire to write once and run on multiple platforms, currently there is little incentive for any of the curators of these environments to provide cross-platform support. Central to Intel’s operating system of choice strategy, the company believes a solution to the cross-platform challenge is HTML5. With it, developers no longer have to make trade-offs between profitability, market participation or delivering innovation in their products. Consumers benefit by enabling their data, applications and identity to seamlessly transition from one operating system or device environment to another.
During her keynote, James emphasized the importance of HTML5 and related standards and that the implementation of this technology by developers should remain open to provide a robust application development environment. James reinforced Intel's commitment to HTML5 and JavaScript by announcing that Mozilla, in collaboration with Intel, is working on a native implementation of River Trail technology. It is available now for download as a plug-in and will become native in Firefox browsers to bring the power of parallel computing to Web applications in 2013.
