BRAVIA televisions compared UK and US?
Filed Under Top Technology | 1 Comment
I was dead cert on buying the Sony Bravia KDL40×2000 tv until i heard of the new range coming out next month (sept07) that, like the D series, run at 100hz but with 1080p… these tv’s are gonna be awesome… so i was happy to wait.
But then, somehow, cant remember how, i ended up on the sony US site to see the XBR models (XBR5 in particular) which is nothing short of amazing… moreso then the new range coming out in the UK… check this out….
The XBR5 has 3 HDMI ports, 120hz(!!!), Full 1080p and 24p (this is gonna be a future proof spec) and a dozen other specs that leave our top end sony in the dust…. all that AND this LCD TV is only 3000dollors (about 1500quid!!! the x series we offer is currently about 1800quid and much worse in specs) AND is available now….
I know to most this may be a geeky post… but those who are passionate about technology must be as rattled as me….
does anyone know the pros/cons and possibilities of ordering one from the states to the UK??

Water for Gas Technology
Filed Under Top Technology | Comments Off
Water4Gas is a technology based on splitting water on board a vehicle, and using the resulting gases not to drive the vehicle – but only to boost the efficiency of its combustion.
It is a Do-It-Yourself technology, specifically designed for beginners with no special tools and very limited budgets. A working system can be built at home with basic hand tools for $20-$100, installed in minutes and removed in seconds.
No modifications to the engine, computer or fuel injection systems, so any backyard mechanic can install it easily.
The technology is age old, over 91 years. All we’ve done is raise it from the dead and develop a simple structure based on low cost hardware. Although there is a myriad of hydrogen generating designs out there, ours is the simplest and also the safest for the beginner. The electrolyzer, bubbler and water reservoir have all been combined into one super-simple device.
Another advantage is the employment of coiled/spiraled electrode WIRES – rather than flat plates or spiraled plates. The magnetic vortex created by the coil assists water splitting, so we don’t need as much power from the car’s electrical system, thus simplifying the system even further and lowering its cost.
Three major factors work together to cause water splitting: direct current flowing through the electrode wires to the water, the magnetic vortex created by the shape of the electrodes, and the vacuum provided by the engine itself.
The effects of this technology is lowered emissions and improved mileage, simply due to a MORE COMPLETE COMBUSTION. Today’s internal combustion engines suffer from poor efficiency of 20%-25%, as any mechanic will tell you; 75%-80% of the gasoline, instead of being converted to forward motion, is instead converted to pollution and carbon deposits (unburned fuel), as well as heat (global warming), vibration and noise (knocking/pinging).
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS OVERSIZED FUEL DROPLETS IN THE MIXTURE. The Hydrogen, being such a small particle, hits a droplet, cuts it into smaller droplets and attaches itself to the smaller droplets. Now the finer, hydrogen-enhanced mixture, is capable of burning more thoroughly.
On top of improved performance, the engine steam-cleans itself every day, and the resulting effect is smoother and quieter operation. One of our staff was shocked when she checked her engine oil and was sure that her oil ran totally out. Actually what happened was that while she was expecting dark brown, dirty oil, the oil was actually so transparent that she could not see it on the dip stick. Her 20-year-old car is as smooth now (with our device on) as it was when she bought it 17 years ago.
Another lady “complained” that she could not hear the engine running…but to her surprise the car was still moving along.
Our technology is not capable of running a car on water alone. Our aim is not to replace gasoline but to enhance it – and open the door and the mind to the possibilities of waterfuel technology. With correct fine tuning we can double the mileage, rendering a new energy balance: half gasoline, half water. Very little water is used, in an economy car it’s around 2700 miles per gallon of distilled water, together with 4-6 teaspoons of household baking soda as catalyst. We have demonstrated many times that the fuel consumption of a 4-stroke generator can also be cut in half with our technology.
Not all cars, loads and driving conditions will gain the same, obviously. For ethical reasons we do not build up expectations for more than 10%-50% improvement in fuel economy, however we are getting daily success stories from experimenters who are seeing gains of 80%-100% in various vehicles. For some, significant economy gains inflict a revelation that something can be done about it, while for others it’s a life changing factor.
We sell books that teach EVERYTHING about the technology and how to manufacture it, as well as sponsoring a f’ree marketplace where sellers and buyers of actual systems can find each other and trade without interference and without any fees paid to us. Like in the Golden Age of Greece – no police, very little government.
At the time of writing we have more than 3200 satisfied customers, over 400 registered independent manufacturers/installers, and an unknown number of affiliates promoting us all over the world. 85%-90% of our sales occur via affiliates, and more are joining due to the generous 50% commission rate and the skyrocketing popularity of the product and the technology.
All in all, Water4Gas has become a buzzword for practicality and affordability. Our policy is to guide the readers toward a mindset of an experimenter rather than a driver that takes things for granted. We teach them that something can be done about gas prices, pollution and global warming, and they gladly take an active role and help to spread the word.
At the time of writing the technology is only for gasoline and diesel cars and trucks. However many of our experimenters are working on adaptations to propane/LPG/CNG propelled vehicles, as well as boats and other applications such as stationary generators.
We’re getting daily requests from business people around the world, as well as inventors inspired by our success, requesting that we work with them to advance their goals and purposes. We help as much as we can, including bridging the gap between investors and inventors, as well as between inventors/developers seeking to complement their technologies with supporting ones (such as a bridge we’ve created between an English fuel cell and an American pure-hydrogen generator).
Thus Water4Gas has emerged and evolved in one year from a small home-based business to become a global junction for waterfuel technologies, inspiration and leadership.
I was skeptical at first but I did a lot of research on this product before I dove into it. I found that a lot of people around the world was using this method so I gave it a shot. I have to say it works and I am very pleased. Read more about my review here… Water for Gas Review

Choosing the Right Retail Technology Partner
Filed Under Top Technology | Comments Off
Would you ask an unsuccessful person how to become more successful? Or ask a friend with a run-down car what the best vehicle is on the market? I would think not.
So, it is suffice to say that you shouldn’t ask a fellow retailer who is struggling with their business technology where to get software technology from. In more cases than one, you’ll find they got software that didn’t suit their needs, and have a retail service provider who isn’t helping them succeed.
Having the right technology is one thing. Having a good retail technology partner who knows retail and backed by an excellent support team is quite another. These two things go hand-in-glove.
These service providers, or “Value-added Resellers” (VARS), are a key factor to helping a retailer boost efficiencies and increase profits. They will help a retailer make the right business decisions on technology and ensure that the technology they chose fits their business needs.
A retail technology partner should know retail, not just retail technology. When choosing a VAR, look for these key factors:
* Retail experts able to consult with you about your needs and who help you with making the right technology choice.
* Retail sales consultants who provide the best technology tools to help you in running your business.
* Knowledgeable and highly experienced technical support staff.
* Support staff who are quick to respond and always available when you need them.
* Tailored support plans to get the most out of the system.
* Technicians with the ability to customize the system to fit your needs, handling everything from seamless installation and conversion to project management.
* Retail consultants that help train your employees on a new system and provide on-going training and education.
A home furnishing and gift store in Mesa, California turned to a VAR to help them with their choice in a retail point of sale system. The store Fleur De Lys partnered with One Step Data. The company installed Retail Pro® as the best choice for the store and, since the installation, owners Shannon Ritter and Josephine Pfeiffer have maintained a proactive relationship with One Step Data. “We are always getting information regarding new products and system information,” says Ritter. “I certainly don’t feel we’ve been abandoned since our purchase. It’s like having a corporate Help Desk or IT department.”
Having expert help makes a big difference for retailers. Who else can they turn to if they don’t have knowledgeable experts who know retail?
“Technology is an important tool for business, especially for retailers,” says Scott Kreisberg, owner of One Step Data. “The market has exploded with literally thousands of companies offering different technology solutions. But not all companies are alike.”
Kreisberg’s company has been helping retailers with their business and point of sale systems for over 20 years. His confidence in his company being able to offer the right solution to retailers comes from having the best products at their disposal, and over two decades of experience and knowledge implementing technology in retail businesses.
“We have become the central nervous system of our customers,” claims Kreisberg, “and are constantly working on ways to help them improve their store operations.”
Retailers should contact a VAR to meet with them personally and determine whether or not that reseller fully understands retail, not just retail technology. The VAR should be able to find a solution that fits with the way the retailer does business and work with them every step of the way to help them achieve their goals.

Technology and the Human Race
Filed Under Top Technology | Comments Off
The human race has indeed gone far with technology. From the age when he still used wooden and stone tools to a powerful era of silicon and steel, he ceased to be a helpless prey to a number of predators to become a god among beasts. And now, technology and human way of life have somewhat become inseparable. Everywhere we look, we see its manifestations—from the largest aircraft to the smallest microcomputer chip. Some even cannot do without their gadgets beside them.
Technology has become a beast of burden of our time—doing things we usually do in the past, like an able servant at his master’s side, ready to help him whenever need arises. Man created technology to serve this purpose, so that he can then face the more challenging problems ahead.
But what if this technology, by all means, becomes uncontrollable by human hands? What if this beast of burden eventually becomes a monster? Could this same technology, which has brought us to a state of luxury and civilization, also lead us to our own ruin? From the evolution of military weapons, to the advent of the nuclear age, man is gradually realizing the fact that his little creation would someday take him to the very edges of his capacities.
But despite all this, this fact still holds true: that however powerful it could become, technology is still just one of man’s tools, and will remain as such. It’s still up to is possessor on how he will apply the power he possesses—whether as a tool of progress, or an element of destruction. It may have brought people closer together, but not necessarily on friendly terms. It has brought us times of peace, as well as wars and struggles; it has brought us great prosperities, as well as dismal catastrophes. And now, the environment is being trampled, and people blame technology for it. Countless wars have sprung, they say technology is the culprit; animals are being led to extinction, and they say technology is the one accountable of all. Through technology, we have created and developed new beginnings, at the cost of many end. Yet, technology should never be blamed for all of this, but the wrong use of it.
The effect of technology on our surroundings is the complete reflection of our values. Therefore, we should develop the proper culture so as to effectively administer this technology that we have. We should prove to be worthy of its possession, for technology and corruption is a bad combination.
