BRITANNICA 2008 ULTIMATE REFERENCES
The Britannica Ultimate Reference Suite 2006 DVD contains over 55 million words and just over 100,000 articles.[66] This includes 73,645 regular Britannica articles, with the remainder drawn from the Britannica Student Encyclopædia, the Britannica Elementary Encyclopædia and the Britannica Book of the Year (1993–2004), plus a few "classic" articles from early editions of the encyclopaedia. The package includes a range of supplementary content including maps, videos, sound clips, animations and web links. It also offers study tools and dictionary and thesaurus entries from Merriam-Webster.
Britannica Online is a website with more than 120,000 articles and is updated regularly.[67] It has daily features, updates and links to news reports from The New York Times and the BBC. As of 2009, roughly 60% of Encyclopædia Britannica's revenue came from online operations, of which around 15% came from subscriptions to the consumer version of the websites.[68] As of 2006, subscriptions were available on a yearly, monthly or weekly basis.[69] Special subscription plans are offered to schools, colleges and libraries; such institutional subscribers constitute an important part of Britannica's business. Articles may be accessed online for free, but only a few opening lines of text are displayed. Beginning in early 2007, the Britannica made articles freely available if they are hyperlinked from an external site;[70]
On 20 February 2007, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. announced that it was working with mobile phone search company AskMeNow to launch a mobile encyclopaedia.[71] Users will be able to send a question via text message, and AskMeNow will search Britannica's 28,000-article concise encyclopaedia to return an answer to the query. Daily topical features sent directly to users' mobile phones are also planned.
Wikinews has related news: Encyclopædia Britannica fights back against Wikipedia, soon to let users edit contents
On 3 June 2008, an initiative to facilitate collaboration between online expert and amateur scholarly contributors for Britannica's online content (in the spirit of a wiki), with editorial oversight from Britannica staff, was announced.[72][73] Approved contributions would be credited,[74] though contributing automatically grants Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. perpetual, irrevocable license to those contributions.[75]
On 22 January 2009, Britannica's president, Jorge Cauz, announced that the company would be accepting edits and additions to the online Britannica website from the public. The published edition of the encyclopaedia will not be affected by the changes.[76] Individuals wishing to edit the Britannica website will have to register under their real name and address prior to editing or submitting their content.[77] All edits submitted will be reviewed and checked and will have to be approved by the encyclopaedia's professional staff.[77] Contributions from non-academic users will sit in a separate section from the expert-generated Britannica content,[78] as will content submitted by non-Britannica scholars.[79] Articles written by users, if vetted and approved, will also only be available in a special section of the website, separate from the professional articles.[76][79] Official Britannica material would carry a "Britannica Checked" stamp, to distinguish it from the user-generated content.[80]
On 14 September 2010, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. announced a partnership with mobile phone development company Concentric Sky to launch a series of iPhone products aimed at the K-12 market.[81] On 20 July 2011, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. announced that Concentric Sky had ported the Britannica Kids product line to Intel's Intel Atom-based Netbooks.-WIKIPEDIA

Tahan simbahan air
MESKIPUN banyak model terbaharu tablet dilancarkan tetapi kapasiti dan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh komputer riba masih lagi ditagih oleh ramai pengguna.
Toshiba baru-baru ini melancarkan sebuah Ultrabook pertama, Siri Portege Z830 yang diakui sebagai paling ringan, ternipis dan terpantas di dunia.
Memiliki berat 1.12 kilogram dengan ketebalan 15.9 milimeter, ia menggunakan pemproses Intel Core generasi kedua. Ia 20 peratus lebih ringan dan 40 peratus lebih nipis daripada model ultrabook sebelum ini iaitu siri Portege R830.
Bahan luarnya sangat ringan, tetapi sangat kukuh kerana diperbuat daripada bingkai bahan aloi magnesium. Struktur material itu diperkuat dengan rekaan sarang lebah supaya mampu menyerap hentakan dan meningkatkan ketahanan.
Papan kekunci Portege Z830 juga istimewa kerana ia kalis sebarang simbahan air. Maka, pengguna tidak perlu bimbang sekiranya secara tiba-tiba terlanggar gelas minuman mereka lalu membasahkan Ultrabook tersebut.

FCleaner
FTweak's FCleaner is one of many free utilities designed to clean and optimize your Windows Registry and disk drives.
Like many other free registry tools, it promises to improve your system's performance by removing unnecessary, orphaned, and potentially hazardous files and registry entries without causing residual mayhem. Unlike many others, it doesn't contain adware or spyware. It also offers some security- and performance-enhancing features that many free registry editors omit, like a browser cache cleaner that can remove cookies and erase traces of your online activity, including sensitive data retained in out-of-the-way places that other cleaners often miss.
There's also a Startup Manager for configuring which programs and files Windows loads on start-up.
We've tested a lot of registry tools, and FCleaner is both typical of the breed and a bit above average in that there's a familiar look to its interface and a familiar feel to its functionality. Compared with the competition, its three-paned front end offers more options for selecting and excluding items to clean and more information about each selection. Similar to the others, it finds a surprising amount of dross in the registry; where it differs is in that it doesn't make things worse by zapping Windows features or disassociating your software certificates. It even has a superior uninstaller.
FCleaner is free, and it's ready for Windows 7. In fact, new releases include an update for cleaning Windows 7 thumbnail files in addition to enhanced AVG antivirus support and a command-line option to stop FCleaner in its tracks.
