Acer offer new variation of the AOD257

Acer offer new variation of the AOD257: "

When the Taiwan based computer maker Acer launch a new netbook, you find that have to look very carefully for anything new. In this case, we are comparing the new Aspire One AOD257-13876 to the recently released Aspire One AOD257-13836. The price is the same, which makes it even harder, so we had better take a look at the specs for this “New” netbook to see the difference.

So the Aspire One AOD257-13876 comes with the standard 10.1 inch WSVGA Acer Crystal Brite LED back lit Display with 1024 x 600 of pixel resolution and comes with a built in 0.3 Mega pixel Web camera.

It is powered by the highly capable Intel Atom Processor Dual Core N570 (1.66 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB) and the graphics are coming from the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 card.

As for storage and memory there is 1 GB of DDR3 RAM Memory and a reasonable 250 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive, while networking comes from the 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and 10/100 Fast Ethernet connection.

Connectivity means a multi into One Digital Media Card Reader and there are three USB 2.0 Ports. It will be running the Windows 7 Starter operating system and there is even Microsoft Office Starter 2010 included too.

The 3 cell Li-ion Battery offers the user up to four hours of battery life and it weighs in at 2.65 lbs (1.2 kg) this is for the system unit only and comes in a nice Seashell White colour.

Now we have seen some of the features for the netbook, how does the Aspire One AOD257-13876 differ from the Aspire One AOD257-13836, I don’t know, I cannot find any differences between the two, apart from the colour, surely that does not warrant a new model label, is all of this just for a new shade.

Priced at around $270

The Lenovo ThinkPad E220s Notebook

The Lenovo ThinkPad E220s Notebook: "

The Lenovo ThinkPad E220 is an affordable 12 inch laptop with a thin design and the choice of an Intel i3, i5, or i7 processor. In most ways, the E220 is much like the larger 14 inch ThinkPad E420, although it is smaller, lighter, and more affordable.

The Lenovo ThinkPad E220s has a 12.5 inch glossy display that is rather fantastically described as “Infinity Glass”. It features a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, with integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000. The processor is available in a few different versions, including a dual-core Intel Core i5-2537M with 1.4GHz of grunt, a faster i7-2617M version, and a slower i3-2357M version.



The design of the E220s features rounded corners and a polished metal trim, both of which set this computer apart from the traditional ThinkPad exterior. It also comes with a metal alloy support for increased durability, a spill resistant keyboard, and an “Active Protection System” which detects sudden drops and prevents hard disk failure. These safety features are nice when you consider the affordable price of this computer.

Other features include an Intel HM65 chipset, 4GB of DDR3-1333 RAM, and a 320GB 7200 RPM Seagate hard drive. However, it is possible to configure this computer with more RAM and different hard drive sizes if required. The keyboard is a standard chiclet design, although unfortunately, it is not backlit.

Connectivity on the Lenovo ThinkPad E220s is fairly standard, with two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 2.0/eSATA port, HDMI, Ethernet, and a memory card reader. However, there is no ExpressCard slot and no USB 3.0 port, both of which are a little disappointing.

The battery life of the Lenovo ThinkPad E220s has been measured at a little under five hours, which is certainly not great but still more than some computers in this class. However, because the battery is unremovable, there is no ability to change batteries once the juice has run out. Depending on the configuration, the Lenovo ThinkPad E220s is selling for between $900 and $1200.

8-8-11: A Good Death

8-8-11: A Good Death: "

Audio for this segment will be available by the end of the day.

Dudley Clendinen is an award-winning author and journalist who lives here in Baltimore. A former reporter and editorial writer for The New York Times, he found out in November, at age 66, that he has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, more popularly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

There is no known cure for ALS, and once a person is diagnosed, they usually live between 1.5 to 3 years.

Over the past few months, Dudley has been speaking with Tom Hall about living with ALS. In this conversation, they’re joined by Lora Clawson, a nurse-practitioner who works with Dudley at Johns Hopkins’s ALS Clinic. She’s also an assistant professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Dudley says he’s been feeling sadder recently. “I think it’s probably in relation to the physical changes, as if my body was sad. Independent of the way my mind feels, or my heart feels, it’s as if the disease and the body have a set of feelings of it’s own.”

Tom asks Lora about how she helps terminally ill deal with saddness–and even depression. “We have frank, open, untimed conversations to talk about feelings, and to really try to determine the nature of the depression, and whether it’s short-term or long-term. Are there good things? Does he look forward to things when he wakes up in the morning? Does he have plans of things that he perhaps has been not able to do, to seeing friends or go places, to try to help muster the energy to accomplish those things that are important that he may not have gotten to.”

Lora also talks about how she discusses the notion of a good death with terminally ill patients. “We start out with discussions of advance directives. Have they thought about their life, and how their life might end? We also talk about what their perceptions or misconceptions are of interventions such as feeding tubes, BiPAP, non-invasive ventilation, as well as trechostomoy and long-term ventilation….we try to de-mystify what would be a good death, and how they’d like it orchestrated.”

8-5-11: Baltimore Elections 2011 — Summertime Blues

8-5-11: Baltimore Elections 2011 — Summertime Blues: "

Every Wednesday and Friday on Maryland Morning, we’re examining an issue in the Baltimore 2011 elections. This morning, it’s youth jobs.

Today is the last day of work for about 5,000 participants in YouthWorks, the summer jobs program run by the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development. Some activists, community leaders, and even mayoral candidates have argued for expanding YouthWorks.

We asked each of the eight candidates running, including the incumbent mayor, this question: “Baltimore City says its YouthWorks program gave 5,300 kids jobs this summer. How many summer jobs do you think Baltimore City should provide–and if it’s more than 5,300, how would you fund them?”

The answers we received are below.

This morning, Sheilah gets an overview of YouthWorks from 18-year-old participant Devontay Spizey and Mayor’s Office of Employment Development director Karen Sitnick. Then she asks Ralph Moore, director of the Community Center at St. Frances Academy and convener of the Full Employment Baltimore Coalition, what these summer jobs mean for the communities where these young people live.

Here are the responses we received from the mayoral candidates:

Frank Conaway:

I would try VERY hard to double the amount of summer jobs for the youth because we must find work for the young people. I would put pressure on the private sector to provide jobs and money, as well as ask contractors of all kinds to do business with the city.

Catherine Pugh:

I am committed to ensuring that young people are given every opportunity to succeed in life. I recognize that young people stand on our corners because they are in need of opportunities to choose something other than drugs, gangs and dropping out of school. I will work in partnership with the non-profit and private sector to ensure that every child in Baltimore that wants to work, is given a job. Not just during the summer, but year around work in fields that they hold some interest in and enthusiasm for. I will have lawyers, doctors, law enforcement and every other profession in the workplace giving young people a chance to make money and learn if that job is right for them!

Too many of our children need to work to contribute to their family expenses because their parents are addicted to drugs, or their parents are unemployed or under-employed, or because they need to make sure their siblings are eating and attending school. In a Pugh administration we will have a Marshall Plan-like effort to put young people to work and help them become fully participating adults in the life of our city.

Jody Landers:

Each YouthWorks summer job slot costs $1,200. When it comes to raising money for worthwhile projects, I believe you have to lead by example. As Mayor, I would commit to donating $12,000 per year to YouthWorks to cover 10 job slots. I would set a goal of increasing the number of slots available by at least 15% per year during each year of my term in office. In addition to corporate, foundation and church group sponsors, I will actively solicit participation from neighborhood associations for positions that could then be assigned to accomplish projects within the participating neighborhoods.

I am committed to actively participating in raising money for this worthwhile program, and setting a goal to increase the number of jobs each year.
