HP announces Spectre One desktop, three other all-in-ones

Didn't you hear? All of HP's top-shelf product consumer products will henceforth have the word "Spectre" in the name. So, it makes sense that the company would expand beyond laptops and release a futuristic desktop bearing the same branding. Indeed, the company just announced the Spectre One, a 23.6-inch all-in-one with a skinny design and nice-to-have features like NFC.

Though that aluminum frame and tilting 1080p display are pleasing to look at, the real story isn't what the Spectre One has, so much as what's missing. You see, in order to get the system down to 11.5mm thick, the design team had to forgo certain features you might otherwise expect -- features like a TV tuner, touchscreen and even an optical drive. It's a gamble, to be sure, but HP is betting that fashion-forward, tech-savvy users won't really mind. (The jury is out on whether a Windows 8 all-in-one without touch is a missed opportunity.) In any case, HP did include four USB ports (two of them 3.0), HDMI input, an Ethernet jack, Beats Audio and a memory card reader, with optional discrete graphics and SSDs. The components are also easily serviceable via a back door, if tinkering is your idea of fun. Lastly, the One ships with a keyboard, Magic Trackpad-style wireless touchpad and two NFC tags, which can be assigned to favorite websites.

In addition to the Spectre One, HP also trotted out three other all-in-ones. At the mid-range, you'll find the Envy 20 and 23, which have 20- and 23-inch screens, respectively, with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Rounding out the list, the company announced the low-end Pavilion 20, another 1080p system. Put simply, the two Envy systems have touchscreens, Beats Audio and will be offered with Ivy Bridge processors only; the Pavilion is non-touch, and will be offered with both Intel and AMD chips. Whichever you choose, HP's old Magic Canvas UI for Windows is gone; in its place, the "Connected Suite," which includes a mix of desktop and mobile apps for sharing photos, streaming music and remote access. Though the mobile applications work with iOS and Android devices, you'll need a Windows 8 laptop on one end of the setup -- specifically, an HP PC. That's right: for now, at least, the software will only work on the company's own computers.

The Envy 20, Envy 23 and Pavilion 20 will all be available on October 23rd, with the budget Pavilion going for $499 and the two Envys starting at $849 and $1,099, respectively. The Spectre One doesn't arrive until November 14th, but when it does it will cost $1,299.

Obama's Weekly Address: Commemorating the 11th Anniversary of 9/11

As the nation prepares to mark the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Obama is reflecting on "just how far we've come as a nation" and highlighting his administration's foreign policy successes.

In his weekly address, the president paid tribute to those who lost their lives and honored the first responders who fought to save them.

"On that clear September morning, as America watched the towers fall, and the Pentagon burn and the wreckage smoldering in a Pennsylvania field, we were filled with questions. Where had the attacks come from, and how would America respond? Would they fundamentally weaken the country we love? Would they change who we are?" Obama said.

"The last decade has been a difficult one," he said. "But together, we have answered those questions and come back stronger as a nation."

Echoing his remarks at the Democratic National Convention this week, Obama said al Qaeda is "on the path to defeat," and, "Osama bin Laden will never threaten America again" because of his leadership.

The president also touted the end of the Iraq war and the transition in Afghanistan.

"Instead of changing who we are, the attacks have brought out the best in the American people," he said. "Instead of turning on each other, we've resisted the temptation to give in to mistrust and suspicion. I have always said that America is at war with al Qaeda and its affiliates - and we will never be at war with Islam or any other religion. We are the United States of America. Our freedom and diversity make us unique, and they will always be central to who we are as a nation.

"Eleven years later, that's the legacy of 9/11 - the ability to say with confidence that no adversary and no act of terrorism can change who we are," he said. "We are Americans, and we will protect and preserve this country we love. On this solemn anniversary, let's remember those we lost, let us reaffirm the values they stood for, and let us keep moving forward as one nation and one people."

The president will mark the upcoming anniversary by attending a memorial service at the Pentagon and meeting with wounded service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? It's a classic tale of a small-town girl who follows her dreams to the big city. But in this case, the girl is a North Korean coal miner, the big city is Pyongyang and her dream is to become a high-flying trapeze artist.

"Comrade Kim Goes Flying," a collaboration between a North Korean director and two European filmmakers, premieres Saturday at the Toronto International Film Festival before it heads to Pyongyang later this month for its North Korean debut.

The film was shot on location with an all-Korean cast, but it avoids overtly political themes and isn't what foreign audiences might expect to see from North Korea: a feel-good romantic comedy about a plucky young woman who grabs her chance to run off to the circus, only to find her wings clipped by the show's handsome but arrogant superstar. He seems determined to make sure she doesn't succeed ? until he falls in love with her.

British co-director Nicholas Bonner called the story an "unexpected fairytale.

"It's a universal story about a young girl wanting to achieve her dream," Bonner said Friday from Toronto. "It's the same story you and I grew up with" ? but set in North Korea.

Pyongyang is familiar territory for Bonner, co-founder of Beijing-based Koryo Group, which organizes tour groups, art shows and sports exchanges with North Korea. Belgian producer Anja Daelemans, a two-time Oscar nominee, got a peek of the country when she showed a short film at the Pyongyang International Film Festival in 2002. The duo teamed up with Ryom Mi Hwa, a North Korean producer who has worked closely with Koryo Group over the years.

Citing the Korean phrase "Over the mountains are mountains," Bonner and Daelemans describe the making of the movie as a "long and halting process of ups and downs."

The idea for "Comrade Kim" was dreamed up one winter's night more than six years ago over glasses of whiskey. They tinkered with the script for three years before a North Korean studio was willing to take it on. Finally, Kim Gwang Hun, a director who once collaborated with Ryom's cinematographer father, took interest.

"Actually, I was concerned that the process of approving the script together with our foreign partner would take a lot of time and we would face many difficulties because of the difference in languages, customs and living environments," Kim said.

Indeed, the film's cast and crew have had little interaction with the outside world. North Korea, one of the world's last Cold War outposts, remains mostly isolated from the rest of the world, a country more famous for its nuclear defiance than its potential for romantic comedies.

Yet movies are hugely popular. Late leader Kim Jong Il famously championed filmmaking as an essential propaganda tool in his 1973 treatise, "On the Art of Cinema."

North Korea has collaborated in the past with production companies from countries such as Russia, China and Italy. "Promise in Pyongyang," released this year, is a Chinese-North Korean production. Bonner and his Koryo Group colleagues have made three documentaries on North Korea.

But "Comrade Kim" is the first European collaboration since the action film "Ten Zan, the Ultimate Mission," a North Korean-Italian production from the 1980s.

For Kim, shooting a romantic comedy was a departure from his usual military-themed work. But he said he relished the idea of offering audiences lighter entertainment.

Then there was the issue of casting. Going with acrobatic skill over acting chops, they chose Han Jong Sim and Pak Chung Guk, acrobats with the Pyongyang Circus, and enrolled them in four months of intensive acting training. She and Pak were backed up by some of North Korea's most famous actors.

Han, who plays bright-eyed ing?nue Kim Yong Mi, says the trapeze scenes were easy but the close-ups were tough. Her character is mischievous and charming, willing to resort to telling white lies to realize her dreams.

"As an acrobat, I use the movement of my body to create a breathtaking impression on the audience, but film actresses have to use their faces to express all their feelings to the audience, and this hasn't been easy work for me," she said during filming in June 2010.

"Comrade Kim" also offers foreign audiences a look at life inside North Korea. Or at least the cinematic version, where there's plenty of food on the table and enough electricity for Yong Mi to scribble in her diary at night.

Viewers go inside the gymnasiums where the acrobats who star in North Korea's famed Arirang mass games perfect their trapeze acts. And the movie shows North Koreans in baseball caps and T-shirts, not just military uniforms.

It also touches on timely themes, including the construction that is part of a major propaganda push that began during the succession campaign for Kim Jong Un, who took over as North Korean leader after father Kim Jong Il died in December.

"Let's go higher, faster!" Yong Mi shouts, echoing a popular political slogan.

Kim, the North Korean director, admitted he was worried about working with foreigners.

But "it went very smoothly, better than I expected, and it was very interesting to work together with them," he told AP. "I think it is because our foreign partners can understand our ideas, system and policies, and the intentions of our filmmakers."

The North Korea cast and crew haven't yet seen the film, which bursts with color in contrast to the darker hues of most North Korea films. But Bonner says he thinks they have captured what they wanted to see on the big screen.

"They all were after a film with romance, comedy and a young couple ? something exciting and fun," he said.

Managed Computing Business - IT Outsourcing New Beckenham ...

IT outsourcing is becoming increasingly favorite these days including in the area IT Outsourcing New Beckenham, and this will come as no surprise as outsourcing has proved alone an incredible income protecting strategy. Of course, choosing the right supplier is essential to thriving outsourcing. There are numerous outsourcing organizations offering their services. Some are superior, some are certainly not fairly, but how can you find a ?perfect? outsourcer? Properly, there may be almost certainly no such thing as ?perfect? on this environment, but listed here are several advices that should enable you to pick the appropriate outsourcer.

Glance for any possibility cost-free offer

Once you determine to outsource a specific IT venture, be it a standard website progress or development of problematic tailored computer software, you wish to make your financial commitment safe and sound. Tend not to retain the services of the first corporation that provides its providers, or perhaps the one which is the most cost-effective. Appear for the corporation which is willing to indication an agreement and get a entire economic duty to the products they create. What I signify just isn?t only a refund just in case they fall short to produce the bit of computer software you purchase, but in addition a compensation of losses that will come from malfunction or failure of your software package. Prospects are that a company will supply this sort of a promise only in the event that it truly is self-assured concerning the top quality it supplies, and that is specifically the kind of corporation you would like.

Glimpse for industry experts
You do not need to believe in IT assignments that happen to be vital to the organization to a bunch of amateurs claiming on their own IT gurus. Actually, recognizing an expert IT outsourcing company from the previously mentioned mentioned dabblers is not straightforward. The fact is the fact all outsourcing businesses, irrespective of how superior they are, will declare themselves professionals, and it really is your job to search out the one which definitely is specialist. It is possible to examine each individual organization based on the portfolio it?s got or based on the references it has from its clients. Do not hesitate to visit internet websites that were or presently are shoppers from the outsourcer and pay further interest to the webpage of your outsourcing business by itself. Are those web sites well-designed? Does every thing work properly and each and every weblink will get you for the webpage it?s supposed to? Do they appear inventive? Is that this the sort of superior you assume in the outsourcer? Answering every one of these questions is likely to make your collection method much simpler.

Continue to keep you facts risk-free
When doing work with outsourcing firms, chances are you?ll must deliver information that has commercial price for your corporation, and, of course adequate, you might not want your rivals and standard public to get a hold of that information. In such scenario, make sure you indication an NDA (nondisclosure agreement) with the outsourcing corporation, and make sure that staff members who will focus on your job have signed the exact same.

Generally, most businesses that resolved to outsource some of their enterprise features are satisfied with the success they obtained, and I think a small number of those that claim outsourcing inefficient would be the types who failed to choose the correct outsourcing company. There are many IT Outsourcing New Beckenham?outsourcers offering their solutions so you have to get some further treatment and time for you to decide on the one which is likely to make your outsourcing knowledge profitable.

The cuts and designs of today?s plus size clothes are sleeker and more flattering than ever.
