So far, there is only speclation about the performance of the latest AMD graphics cores. However, with advances in fabrication technology may even be as single-GPU HD 7000 will more sophisticated and far more superior than the Radeon HD 6990 available today.

Russian Hoax Alien Video

On the internet currently being discussed about the rampant circulation of a video that describes the discovery of an alien corpse in Russia. Mentioned, aliens who were killed were found in the Irkutsk region, Siberia is covered with thick snow.

Alien who killed an estimated height of about 60-90 inches with a large head and long legs and arms. The newly uploaded video to YouTube 3 days ago it was seen up to 4,5 million times. But many are questioning the authenticity of the video.

Quoted from Space, 21 April 2011, the video was found in a number of clues that the video was a hoax or a false story.

First is the opening scene. Highlight video recorder environment around the discovery of aliens is to demonstrate to the audience area was the discovery of aliens. This tecnique is commonly used in the film industry. For example, if you watch a situation comedy, the scene opens with the camera will highlight the exterior of the house or apartment before acting highlight the characters in the room.

Next, the cameraman also directly highlight his colleagues, just take pictures of footprints in the snow leading to the discovery of the position of being 'outer space' issue. Here it appears that the video recorder already know that the aliens were there and no 'found' by accdient.

Furthermore, the actors who speak in Russian souding middle of a laugh. His tone was not like people are surprised or curious as to find a foreign object is very unusual.

Another clue is the scene that was designed less precise. Cameras follow the trail in the snow leading to the position of aliens who described the trail was a former aircraft accidents. But there was no found dead spacecraft or signs of other foreign bodies, just a piece of alien bodies created in dramatic conditions. For example one of his legs are made as if cut in a plane crash.

What is suspicious is that it looks exactly like the aliens alien depictions in Hollywood movies or on t-shirts, comic books, and others. Alien skin is transparent does give a creepy effect, but this can be created easily using the agar nodes and animal body parts that can be bought at the butcher shop.

To that end, Life Little Mysteries are trying to examine the validity of an alien video that said the film was just a hoax.

Welcomes Earth Day will be held on 22 April 2011, the APC by Schneider Electric provides tips on using computers efficiently to save costs, extend life of computer equipment and also helps save the earrh.

• Turn the computer off at night so that the computer is only used for 8 hours- to save energy use up to 810kWh per year and 67 percent usage.
• Connect the computer to a surge protector with a master control outlet, so the system can automatically find out when the computer is not used to and then disconnect power to the computers and equipment.
• Use the LCD monitor because it uses less energy and not make the eyes work harder as in the CRT.
• Buy a computer equepped with Energy Star features. For the record, the laptop also uses less energy than desktops.
• Plan the use of computers so  that all activites can be completed in one time, and switch off when no longer used.
• Consider using a smaller monitor. Size of 14-inch monitor uses 40 percent less energy compared with 17-inch monitor.
• Turn on standby mode / sleep and energy usage settings.
• Forget the screen saver because it does not svae energy unless you are still using older versions of the monochrome monitor.
• See re-draft the documents and emails on screen rather than print it.
• Turn off the monitor when not in use rather than using a screen saver.
• Consinder using ink-jet printer-although more slowly than using laser printers, but inkjet use 80-90 percent less energy.
• Buy products based ink from non-plant or oil - because the product is made from recycled sources, require less use of hazardous materials and reproduce colors more bright and clear.
• Turn off the printer and all other auxiliary devices when not in use.
• Do not let the computers stays on at nigth or on weekends
• Choose a dark color as the background screen, because the bright color display uses more energy.
• Reduce the level of room lighting using a computer at work
• Use a network and share printers whenever possible.
• Print using recycled paper. Use a paper that does not use chlorine with 50 to 100 percent post-consmer waste.

Actually, the computer designed to withstand 40,000 times the cycle on / off, and when useg in a normal computer then the computer can be aged from five to seven years. So by turning off the computer, we not only reduce energy use, but also to reduce heat stress on the computer.

The second assumption of many circulating saying that by turning off and re-turn on the computer will use more energy than leaving in state of light. In fact, the use of energy used by the CPU to boot up much less than by leaving the computer turns on more than three minutes.

Moreover, assuming that the network connection will be disconnected when the computer is also not true low-power/sleep mode. Latest Computer designed so as not to lose the connection or data even in sleep mode state. The CPU is equipped with technology Wake on LAN (WOL) can be left in sleep mode all night and next day the user has received the data sent
