Samsung's Story Station

by: techfit   Keywords: Story, Station

Samsung has developed  the new Story Station that is solid and cute,  muted Terminator kind of way. There's no bright chrome, no piano black glossiness, just a brushed gunmetal upper surface, and a matte black front, back and bottom.

The black and gun-metal grey complement each other well, as does the mix of curves and straight lines. While the sides of the Story curve from the top to the sides, at the front and back you get 90° angles. The base is suitably sculpted so that drives can be stacked. The feet are sturdy and well able to resist attempts to push the drive sideways.

Why STORY?

The STORY Station safely downloads and protects your lifetime memories – video clips, photos, music files, and important data – that are so valuable and not easily replaced. Samsung STORY™ Station is the best storage solution to capture and preserve your life story.

Sleek design
Minimalism is the design concept of STORY Station. Every element – the finely brushed metal finish, simple jog dial, and red-belted cable outlets – underscores the sleek and refined style. The sharp contrast of gray and red is eye-catching and the solid, simple cover creates timeless beauty. A simple but classical jog dial functions as a power switch and reflecting LED light, hidden on the bottom, softly displays power on/off status.

Enhanced data protection
The STORY Station is built to store your valuable data safely and keep it backed up using the Samsung Auto Backup and SafetyKey™ features. Moreover, you can protect private and confidential files and folders in the virtual drive, SecretZone™, with complete confidence.

Green operation
Samsung’s environment-friendly product supports “Power Saving Mode,”which saves power by automatically going into standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. The STORY Station’s heat dissipating design – the ventilation and the aluminum cover – prevents heat buildup and keeps the drive inside cool.

Easy to set up, easy to use
Simply plug it in and go. No CD is needed for installation. You can see at a glance how much space is available, used, or designated as backup storage.

Virtual Worlds

by: techfit   Keywords: Technology

According to PhysOrg.com, normally, virtual worlds are the setting of many online games and entertainment applications, but now they’re becoming a place for scientific collaboration and outreach, as well. A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology, Princeton, Drexel University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have formed the first professional scientific organization based entirely in virtual worlds. Called the Meta Institute for Computational Astrophysics (MICA), the organization conducts professional seminars and popular lectures, among other events, for its growing membership.

 "Virtual worlds are already a very fruitful arena for research in social sciences and humanities, including sociology, economics, psychology, etc.,” lead author George Djorgovski told PhysOrg.com. “They are already a superb educational and outreach platform, and should be used much more. We are trying to find out what else we can do with these technologies in the natural sciences, such as physics and astronomy.”

1. Batman Begins

What it's like: KAPOW! SMASH! BLAMMO!
How it's played: Maneuver the Caped Crusader through 2D environmental platform puzzles, use stealth to disarm the many minions of mob boss Carmine Falcone, and do it all with the help of a fully stocked utility belt.
Why we like it: The game is just plain fun, and being able to glide, grapple, and toss Batarangs in both stealthy and action-packed sequences keeps the gameplay consistently exciting.
Where to get it: Most BREW- and J2ME-enabled phones.

 2. WordKing Poker

What it's like: Demonstrating you're a (wo)man of letters, as well as absurd luck.
How it's played: Think about poker. Now think about Scrabble. Then, mix the two up in your head until you're playing poker with Scrabble pieces. Sounds awesome, huh?
Why we like it: This game is brilliantly conceived and well executed. Plus, you don't need to have great reflexes to be a dominant player.

3. Tic-a-Tac 21
