Fujitsu QH77/M Waterproof Tablet
Posted in: Today's Chili
Earlier this morning, we did manage to get a closer look at a couple of Ultrabooks from Japanese manufacturer, Fujitsu, and this time around, here we are with a tablet – the Fujitsu QH77/M. The Fujitsu QH77/M will be a tablet with a twist – where it will arrive with waterproof capability, now how about that? Even more interesting is the fact that the Fujitsu QH77/M tablet will arrive with an extractor fan that will still be able to work when it is underwater.
Measuring 12.5” in size, it will be powered by Intel’s 1.6GHz Core i5-4200U processor which more or less has built up a reputation of its own for requiring a fair degree of cooling to a certain extent most of the time. Needless to say, you can forget about dropping the Fujitsu QH77/M into your bathtub and hope for the extractor fan to move fast enough to propel it under the water’s surface, as the tablet itself is simply too heavy for the extractor fan to generate enough torque so that it will chug along nicely. Even if it could, what would be next? Perhaps the inclusion of a built-in periscope, don’t you think so? Even then, pricing details of the Fujitsu QH77/M remains to be known.

By the looks of it, Quasar IV’s Indiegogo campaign won’t reach its $3.2 million goal — not when it’s only been able to raise a small fraction of that amount with so little time left. Even so, the super-secure phone with encrypted local and cloud storage will still see the light of day. QSAlpha, the …

Last week Microsoft released a new version of Windows Live Movie Maker that I have to admit is rather impressive. I took some time to play around with it over the weekend, and the Ribbon interface makes creating movies so easy that I actually feel like new computer users could grasp how to do it in a matter of minutes. Plus they’ve included an “AutoMovie” button that inserts transitions, effects, credits, and titles automatically for you. The team did a remarkable job of making movie creation simple.
Now here’s the thing that some Windows users might notice. This version of Movie Maker lacks some features that older versions had. The most notable thing is probably the disappearance of the timeline view (used for more precise editing), and I’m pretty sure there are also less transitions available. The real damper may be that this version is only available for Vista and Windows 7, which means Windows XP users will have to stick with Movie Maker 2.1. Yeah… you power users probably aren’t too happy.
So what’s the point of Windows Live Movie Maker then? Many of you may not agree, but I think Microsoft made the right move with the direction they’re pursuing. The Windows Live blog stressed several times that a a good chunk of users are sharing videos that are just a few minutes long:
According to recent research from IDC, over 60 percent of US consumers watch user-generated videos online. They also found that almost half of the videos shared on the Internet are just a few minutes long. While video is becoming just as easy to capture as photos, it’s nowhere near as easy to edit and share.
So the focus of Windows Live Movie Maker is on videos that are around 2-minutes long. Personally there are very few cases where I’ll watch a video any longer than that, and so they are spot on for my kind of usage. That’s why I think the revamped Movie Maker is so nice. If I was going to put together a movie that was an hour or two I’d probably want to look towards a program that’s a bit more advanced.
They’ve also made sharing videos easy by integrating a YouTube uploader, allow exporting in HD quality, and let users burn a movie to DVD. Again, these are all things that are just a few clicks away. It’s fast. It’s simple.
There are some people I know who will absolutely love using this, and I’ll definitely be telling other people about it. The only thing I don’t like is the dreaded installer that tries to throw all the rest of their products on your machine at the same time.
