Demand of LED Technology is Rapid Rise
According Djohan Tanuwidjaja, Director of PT Alfa Dynamics Tripratama - one of the suppliers of LED technology in Indonesia, the demand for LED continues to increase in recent years, mainly from the advertising sector, hotels, and shopping centers.
According to him, LEDs offer a reduction in electricity costs by 60%, although the current price of the product is relatively more expensive 3-5 times compared with conventional lamps. However, in line with demand, the product prices will slow down significantly to balance market.
Djohan optimistic demand for LEDs in the world will continue to increase and replace conventional lamps in the next 10 years. Based on the BCC Research report, global market value of LEDs for lighting is estimated to reach U.S. $ 5.4 billion in 2009 and is projected to rise to $ 8.2 billion in 2014.
The second largest segment is background lighting or backlighting displays, predicted to reach U.S. $ 1.6 billion in 2014, with growth of 11% per year, from the achievement of 2009 amounted to U.S. $ 933 million.

GTA Vice City Coming For iOS And Android On December 6th
Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto franchise is one of the most iconic on any gaming platform, and to commemorate the tenth anniversary since the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a port for iOS and Android is set to arrive on December 6th. Rockstar will be rolling back the years for the nostalgic GTA fans, and as well as confirming the release date in a press statement today, it also added the title will cost $5.
The tenth anniversary edition of Grand Theft Auto III went down a treat having been re-released for mobile, and if, like me, you enjoyed the original, I’m sure you’ll be looking forward to the release on December 6th.
In its press release, Rockstar noted the 2012 edition of Vice City includes "several enhancements unique to the iOS and Android platforms," such as "updated character models and lighting effects, [and] new and more precise firing and targeting options." In addition, the controls have been adapted to the touch-based interface, and as was the case for Grand Theft Auto III, they are customizable. There’s nothing I hate more than playing a game and not being able to adjust the controllers to suit, but having thoroughly enjoyed GTA III on the iPad and iPhone, I don’t think there’s much danger of Rockstar messing this one up.
As well as allowing gamers the chance to relive a classic first made famous on the PlayStation 2, it will also tide gamers over until the release next spring of Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar has been teasing amazing screenshots all year, but only recently revealed exactly when the title would be releasing. Spring is a pretty vague bracket, but it is available to preorder for those looking to secure themselves a copy when it does eventually retail.
We will, of course, let you know as soon as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City reaches the App and Google Play Stores. Often, the Android version hits a snag and is delayed, so if you are in ownership of a smartphone or tablet running Google’s mobile operating system, be prepared for the worst.

10 New Features For Upcoming Galaxy S4
Samsung finally announced galaxy s4. South Korean smartphone manufacturer announced to bring this smartphone to market on a ceremony in Newyork on 14 march.
This smartphone will build with eye tracking, gesture recognition technology, news from Routers News Agency. This smartphone will launch in the market at the end of April. But the price of this smartphone was not published by the authority of Samsung.
New 10 features of Galaxy s4
Smart Scroll or Eye Scroll
One feature which will surely be there is the Eye Tracking Technology. Under this technology, the Samsung Galaxy S IV users would be able to enjoy the auto-scroll on it. Here is a screenshot of the Samsung Galaxy S IV interface which have been circulating all around.
Air Gesture
Youre driving in the car with your phone mounted on the dashboard and it rings. What do you do? If you take your hand off the wheel, reach across the dashboard and slide the answer button, you might veer into another lane by the time your mom starts talking on the other end.
Fortunately, with Samsungs new Smart Call Accept feature you can answer the phone and have it turn on the speakerphone with the wave of a hand. You can control your music player with Smart Gestures, allowing you to wave right past that Taylor Swift song your wife snuck onto your playlist. You can even cycle through open tabs in the Web browser with gestures.
Group Play
Even the best smartphone speakers arent loud enough to fill a large room all by themselves. But what if you could have all of your friends phones act as speakers and turn themselves into a giant stereo? With the Galaxy S4s Group Play feature, all you need to do is tap phones and you can stream a song to every other handset in the room.
With the Galaxy S4, you and your buddies can share more than music, photos or videos. You can cooperate or compete in games such as "Asphalt 7" racing or "Gun Brothers" -- and those are just two of many titles that will support this feature. Were holding out for a mobile version of "World of Warcraft."
S-Voice Drive
Samsung adds a new interface to its S-Voice voice assistant to offer functionality when youre driving.
S Health
Your smartphone is your constant companion, so why not use it as a digital health counselor? Samsungs new S Health app monitors how much youve walked, how many calories youve burned and what youve eaten (though you have to enter this manually) When paired with an accessory, you can even measure your heart rate. Better still, special sensors in the phone record the external temperature and humidity level to help you decide how far to push yourself in the heat.
Temperature and Humidity sensors
The Galaxy S4 also features temperature and humidity sensors to know the current status of your surroundings.
Dual Camera photos and recording
Two cameras are better than one. With the Galaxy S4s Dual Camera mode, you can capture stills or videos from both the rear-facing, 13-MP camera and the front-facing 2-MP webcam at the same time. Just imagine recording the look on your own face while you watch and record a concert or even the birth of your child!
Sound & Shot feature
You can capture up to 9 seconds of audio while capturing a picture to make it more interesting.
S Translator
Ever get an important email thats at least partly written in Spanish or contains Chinese characters? Samsungs S Translator will convert emails, SMS messages and ChatON IMs from 9 different languages to English (or your native tongue).
You can combine all stages of action that takes place in burst mode into one photo with this feature. So if youre taking a photo of someone running, you can combine many pictures to depict the act of running in one picture.
Android based fastest smartphone processor
Galaxy s4 is built with Jelly bean Android operating system. This is the next version of Galaxy s3. Galaxy s3 was sold more than 4 core unit.
Samsung authority said that more than 327 mobile operator 155 countries will sold the galaxy s4. Galaxy S4 will come market with two color Black and White. This smartphone has the facilities of 13 MP camera, 4.99 inch Amolad Display, HD video facility. Techno researchers predict that Samsung galaxy S4 will compete with Apple, Nokia, HTC, Sony.

Quarter 3 2012 Budget Ultraportable Laptop Buyers Guide Php25 000 or below
It is pretty amazing these days what you can get for Php25,000 or less. Three years ago, all you could expect where either netbooks or big bulk low end laptops. Here are my favorites.
1. Asus Eee PC X101CH - Php11,990 to Php13,990
These days I would not really recommend a netbook. I am not very fond of these Atom powered devices, not even the newer Cedar Trail platforms. While they were fine a few years ago, they have fallen far behind the power curve. They feel slow by todays standards. HD playback is still iffy.
The 10.1-inch low resolution 1024 x 600 screens, do not help. They feel cramp for web browsing. With the 10.1-inch display comes with a keyboard which is a bit smaller than standard sized. Still you do get a full function computer at less than 14K, which can run a desktop grade browser and office suite.

My favorite netbook is the Asus Eee PC X101CH. It will set you back Php11,990 to Php13,990, and if you get it with with Windows 7 or DOS, and depending on where you get it.
While short on power, it is a very handy package to carry around at just about an inch thick and only 2.2 pounds in weight. Still, this is best as a second computer, as a back-up to a desktop or larger laptop.

2. Acer TravelMate B133 - Php15,999 to Php17,999
Going up a few thousand in price, at Php16,999 you have the Acer TravelMate B133. That price is without an operating system. It is a bit hard to find, but you can get one from Asianic. Order it online an you can get it for Php15,999 with Windows 7 Starter.
I could be perfectly happy with this for day to day use. You move up to a larger 11.6-inch display which gets you a HD (1366 x 768) resolution. The larger screen comes with a larger, more comfortable, keyboard. You also get a much more powerful dual core Intel Celeron processor and double the RAM. The Acer TravelMate B133 is truly a current generation offering with a USB 3.0 port and Bluetooth 4.0.
A just over an inch thick, and at 3.1 pounds it is light enough to carry around daily.
- OS: Linux or Windows 7 Starter
- Display: 11.6-inch (1366 x 768 pixel resolution)
- Processor: Intel Celeron B877 (dual core 1.4 GHz)

- Notable Ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and HDMI out
- Card Reader: Yes

3. Asus X410A - Php20,990 to Php22,990
Not everyone is happy with an 11.6-inch or smaller display. While this is technically not an Ultraportable which means 4 pounds or less. The Asus X401A weighs in a 4.1 pounds, about a pound or more less than other low cost 14-inch laptops. Close enough. This gives you a full sized 14-inch laptop at a reasonable price. This unit as has a USB 3.0 port.
At Php20,990 you get it with DOS. At Php22,990, you get it with Windows Home Basic. This is a pretty powerful unit with an Intel B970 dual core processor inside. This is by far the most powerful of our four recommendations on this post.
Quick Specs:
- OS: Windows Home Basic
- Display: 14-inch (1366 x 768 pixel resolution)
- Processor: Intel B970 (dual core 2.0 GHz)
- RAM: 2 GB
- Storage: 500GB hard drive
- Wireless: WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0
- Notable Ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and HDMI out

4. 11.6-inch Sony Vaio E (E11115EG)
For the past 17 months we have been AMD E-350 and later, AMD E-450 based systems for those looking for a low cost ultraportable. The AMD E-450 is now being replaced by the AMD E2-1800 accelerated processing unit. In truth, it is not much faster than the AMD E-450, but it does come with one nice bonus, a USB 3.0 port.
I expect to see more of these AMD E-2 1800s in the market soon. But right now the only ultraportable AMD E-2 1800 available is the 11.6-inch Sony Viao E. It is priced at Php23,990. I suspect in a few weeks or months you will see some HP, Lenovo and Samsung versions prices 2-3K lower. But it is a Sony Vaio after all.
Quick Specs:
- OS: Windows Home Basic (64-bit)
- Display: 11.6-inch (1366 x 768 pixel resolution)
- Processor: AMD E-2 1800 (dual core 1.7 GHz)RAM: 2 GB
- Storage: 320GB hard drive
- Wireless: WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0
- Notable Ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and HDMI out
- Card Reader: Yes
- Webcam: Yes
- Battery: 6-cell (4000 mAh)
