Pink Electronics - There is a Pink Everything (Almost) - Part 2

By DeeDee Dobson

In my previous article, Pink Electronics - There Is A Pink Everything (Almost) - Part I, I talked about pink mice, speakers and headphones that matches your pink laptop. Today, I'm going to share my findings on even more pink peripherals for your office (or on the go).

In my previous article, Pink Electronics - There Is A Pink Everything (Almost) - Part I, I talked about pink mice, speakers and headphones that matches your pink laptop. Today, I'm going to share my findings on even more pink peripherals for your office (or on the go).

Desktop Computers
Considering the increasing amount of pink laptops available, I was surprised to find that the pickings for pink desktop computers are slim to say the least. I have not been able to find a single desktop tower offered in pink! Raidmax have pink computer cases in two different designs, and you can buy a custom-built computer housed in one of those cases from KidComputers, but that is it.

Keyboards
There aren't a whole lot of pink keyboards out there either, but I did find a few: Saitek makes a fuchsia keyboard with white keys (and a matching mouse); there is the Hello Kitty Multimedia Keyboard with a built-in (detachable) pink plaid wrist pad (there are several other types of Hello Kitty keyboards available as well, but I thought one would be enough here), and, my absolute favorite, the ultra cool, hot pink, flexible Bendi Board by Desklamations. It's made out of totally flexible silicone (you can roll it up and put it in your bag if you want to take it with you), and if you should happen to knock your soda or coffee over while you're working, no problem - you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Perfect!

For younger children, there is the kid-sized hot pink Little Princess keyboard, with purple and blush pink keys (and a matching mini-mouse), and a layout that prevents Repetitive Strain Injury! I really hope children don't spend enough time in front of a computer to be at risk for that. There's plenty of time to develop those kinds of things once you're a working adult.

USB Hubs
GE makes a really smart (hot pink) hub with 4 ports set up as cubes. The smart part is that 2 of them rotate, so if you have oversized plugs, you will still be able to use the same hub for all your connections. Saitek's Mini UFO hub is a round, fuchsia disk with 4 ports, while the Small Rodents pink hub is in the shape of (surprise) a mouse and is actually kind of cute. The animated Hello Kitty USB hub features Kitty herself talking to you (in Japanese or English, your choice), emailing her friends and playing puzzles while you're typing away.

Flash Drives
There are many choices available in pink when it comes to flash drives. Tiny as they are, they add a lot of style to your setup. SanDisk's 2GB Cruzer Gator is adorable in alligator-patterned dark pink, and their 4GB Cruzer Fleur is white with pink flowers and a hot pink cover. Tribeca's Splash Drives are bright fuchsia with butterflies, and while not as fanciful as the others I've mentioned here, Kingston's DataTraveler 101 (pink of course) with it's attached cover (you just move it to the side when using the drive) is great for people like me, who tend to lose small parts... ATP's special edition Pink Petito Flash Drive in pale, shiny pink with a pink ribbon is not only cute; it supports breast cancer research, 10% of the price goes to the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Cables
Cables Unlimited's KaBling High-Speed USB 2.0 Mini 5pin B cables are adorable in bright fuchsia with crystals at each end. The company also makes a bright pink Universal AC Power Cord, a Cat5e Patch Cable, a HDMI 1.3 Home Theatre Cable, a Stereo Audio Cable (all pink with crystals of course). And you can feel good about adding these pieces of bling to your home - Cables Unlimited is a sponsor of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

If bling is not your thing (yes, that was on purpose), Belkin makes a CAT-5e Patch Cable in bright pink, and GE sells a kit with three pink cables (a USB 2.0, a Cat 5e and a Mini-USB).

As you can see, there are plenty of pink gadgets out there. If you're looking for a particular item and can't find it in pink - keep you eyes open. I think we're going to see more and more electronics in every color imaginable in the not so distant future.

DeeDee Dobson provides information about pink laptops and how to choose the right one for you.

SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player VS iPod

By Chris Rubenstein

When it comes to MP3 players, the choices can make one dizzy. Storage capacity, external memory cards, battery life, weight, how long the unit will hold a charge are just a few factors that pop into my mind when I think portable MP3 players.

When it comes to MP3 players, the choices can make one dizzy. Storage capacity, external memory cards, battery life, weight, how long the unit will hold a charge are just a few factors that pop into my mind when I think portable MP3 players. On one hand you have the Apple iPod. Now mostly everyone has heard of the iPod even if they never held a portable MP3 player in their hand before. This is possible due in part to Apple's tremendous marketing efforts. I am fortunate enough to say honestly that I owned both an Apple iPod and other portable MP3 players.

This article was written in the hopes of leaving you further educated on MP3 players than you were when you first reached this page. I will start with positive attributes to the iPod and end with the downside.

User Interface
Most MP3 players have intuitive interfaces and are very easy to use. I have not found another MP3 player with an easier interface than the iPod. The iPod allows a user, pending that their digital files have the proper tags associated, to sort their music by Artist, Album, Genre, or by a user created playlist. Many other MP3 players also have this feature. The iPod user interface syncs up seamlessly with their proprietary software, iTunes and also allows you to sort your music as aforementioned. If for some reason your mp3s do not have the proper tags, you can still add them to a custom playlist for easy retrieval.

There are many other units out there with great interfaces. The company SanDisk, who started out as an external storage media company has dipped their feet in the MP3 market and came out with a product called the Sansa. It is considerably cheaper than the iPod. It has all the functionality of the iPod but the UI differs extremely. I own this player and personally, I found the iPod UI to be friendlier for a number of reasons. The wheel on the Sansa is mechanical, versus the touch pad technology on the iPod which doesn't allow for precise scanning through songs. The iPod's touch pad wheel allows you to scan through songs quickly by flicking your finger on the pad or slowly with a steady deliberate drag of the finger. This especially comes in handy when scanning through very long broadcasts. On the Sansa, you can spin the wheel forever before you get to the 10 minute mark.

Another issue where the iPod shines over the Sansa is if a song is copied to the Sansa player without ID tags, it simply doesn't show up. This baffled me when I first got the Sansa and has been an ongoing headache since I now have to add ID tags to custom recorded broadcasts that do not come with ID tags.

Price
The saying hold true that you get what you pay for. The Sansa MP3 player comes at or more than 50% less than the cost of a new iPod (depending on the model and storage capacity). For users who are a bit more tech savvy, the Sansa can be a real money saver. On the other hand, the iPod will be easier to use for the less than tech savvy listener.

As you can see the iPod is no different than many other MP3 players out on the market as far as functionality is concerned but their front end user interface is well thought out and in the end you are paying for the brains of the product. The actual electronics in most cases is worth less than $5. Good luck in your search.

Problems While Using Sandisk SD Plus Card With Windows XP Or 2000

By Shaun Pattrik

An SD card is used by mobile phones, cameras, camcorders and many other such portable devices. It's prime purpose, of course, is to enable safe and convenient storage of any sort of digital data, like pictures, videos, audio clips, etc.

An SD card is used by mobile phones, cameras, camcorders and many other such portable devices. It's prime purpose, of course, is to enable safe and convenient storage of any sort of digital data, like pictures, videos, audio clips, etc. Though these cards are compatible with almost all computers, they might encounter few problems with the same. These problems could be in the form of error message(s) or just data inaccessibility. While troubleshooting options, such as formatting, editing the registry, etc., solves many of these problems, it often leads to data loss. At such times if one does not have a back-up to turn to, then you should use an SD Card Recovery Software.

For example, when you are using the SanDisk SD Plus Card with Windows XP or 2000, you may come across some problems. Sometimes an error message might be displayed, at others it might just not function 'normally'.

Cause:

Two main reasons for the problem could be improper installation of drivers or SD card corruption..

Resolution:

Follow the steps below to resolve the problem:

1.In case of improper installation of drivers, follow the underneath steps:

Unplug the SanDisk SD card from your system.
Make sure you have a backup of the registry. (from the 'Start' menu, select 'Run', type 'regedit' and click OK, from the registry menu, select 'Export', and name the file). Save it to your desktop.

Run 'REGEDIT32' using the 'Start' > 'Run' option. Remove the below listed entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlDeviceClasses{a5dcbf10-6530-...}##?#USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_Sandisk&Prod_SD_..........
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001EnumUSBVID_0781&PID_6100

After removing the items from the registry, restart the computer.

Once the computer has restarted, insert the SanDisk SD Plus card. It should work fine now. However, if it still gives some problems, then your memory card is corrupted. In such situations, you will need to format the card in your computer. This enhances the usage between the computer and the card. Remember to select the FAT file system while formatting the card.

Whether you format the card, or lose the data during any other step in the process, you can always recover the lost files using an SD Card Recovery Software. These tools should be carefully chosen, as fake one's could cause further problems. The tools perform SD Card Recovery even from formatted and corrupted cards.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is an SD Card Recovery tool which is available for both Mac and Windows OS. The software supports JPEG, GIF, TIFF, RAW, MOV, AVI, etc. You can view thumbnail preview of the recoverable files using the free Trial Version of the software, and then use the Full version to perform the actual recovery.

Recovering Photos From Sandisk Ultra II

By Simpson Raid

One of the most common storage media used in Caplio GX100 camera is Sandisk Ultra II. Like any other digital data storage media, Sandisk Ultra II is also vulnerable to problems like virus infection, file system crash, read/write error, etc. As a result, the data stored in the device get lost, or become inaccessible.

One of the most common storage media used in Caplio GX100 camera is Sandisk Ultra II. Like any other digital data storage media, Sandisk Ultra II is also vulnerable to problems like virus infection, file system crash, read/write error, etc. As a result, the data stored in the device get lost, or become inaccessible. The problem may be overcome by running an updated data backup. But if the backup is absent or corrupt, or cannot help, you will need to use a powerful photo recovery software.

Suppose, you have taken some pictures with your Caplio GX100 camera using the above mentioned SD card; but now, when you would like to see them, the following error appears:

'Card not formatted. Do you want to format it now?'

After this error message, you find the photographs in your SD card inaccessible or lost. Every attempt to access these files prompts the same error message.

Causes:

The errors behind the appearance of the above message may either be:
-switching the camera off while data transfer is in progress, or
-pulling out the SD memory card while read/write process is going on.

Solutions:

If you switched off the camera purposefully or accidentally while data transfer is in progress, this mishandling will cause a serious problem resulting in the corruption or loss of the data. Formatting will put the SD memory card physically right, but it will do more harm by erasing all the photos in it. If the error message was due to removal of the SD memory card during read/write process, you have at best inaccessible , or at worst lost pictures. Formatting the card will add harm to injury, resulting in deletion of previously stored files including the inaccessible ones. Even your attempts to save the situation by running an updated data backup process struggled to no avail.

Confronted with both of these maddening situations, you need to use an effective Digital Photo Recovery Software employing high-end algorithms to perform a quick scan of the storage media, and run a process of photo recovery.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery v3.2 is a three-in-one software recovering lost, damaged, or inaccessible photo, audio, and video files of various formats from almost all storage media like SD card, SDHC card, MMC card, etc. Compatibe with Windows (Vista, XP, 2003, 2000 and NT) and Apple Mac (Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.4 Tiger and 10.3.9 Panther) operating systems, this non-destructive Digital Photo Recovery Software saves the recovered photos in a user-specified location thereby ensuring the safety of the original files.

Simpson Raid has 6 Years of Experience in the Software Technology researching with Stellar Info. System Ltd which offers photo recovery software, photo recovery, digital photo recovery and Mac photo recovery.
