Only 6 percent are running with HDTV, even though they are HD-ready TV

January 17th, 2011 by mynest

Best picture is called a survey is conducted by SIFO on behalf of Canal Digital. It shows that 45 percent of Swedes have an HD-ready TV , but that only 6 percent use them to view HD broadcasts.

Many Swedes have given up their old thick-TV with a new flat screen TV in the form of LCD or plasma. The vast majority of these are HD-ready, which means they can display high resolution. But there are few who use it here because it requires an HD digital box and access to television channels broadcasting in HDTV. If you connect an HD-Ready for a standard digital TV box, it is not certain that you get better quality. In fact, it often gets worse.

- Without HD box and channels, the experience is in many cases worse than the old thick-TV We must improve the entire industry to tell what is needed for HDTV.HD is here to stay, but knowledge is still too low, “says Mats Almgren, CEO of Canal Digital Sweden.

The survey shows that many are interested in getting a HD box. One in four respondents say they plan to buy one. 56 percent say they do not know which, according to SIFO and Digital Canal points to poor information about what an HD box does. 51 percent say it’s mostly movie they want to see in high definition format.

- There is undoubtedly a great interest in HDTV in Sweden and many have already taken the large investment in the purchase of an HD-ready TV. It is the last step, box and channels, we must improve on to explain, “says Jenny Pedersén PR manager at Canal Digital Sweden.

Survey Best picture will be conducted annually to monitor developments in the Swedish market.

How to improve the management of updates against vulnerabilities

January 6th, 2011 by mynest

The current situation

Very often, security updates are distributed only after the vulnerability was announced and it leaves plenty of time to “bad.” They usually have at least a month in which there are too much trouble finding people that we have not yet installed updates.

But because users do not install the updates as they are distributed? After all, most programs today include auto-update mechanisms, and then we do not even remember to download them.

Updates too laborious

However, there are problems in the current method by which updates are distributed applications. Most people use for months or even years, their PC without paying any attention to the periodic warnings displayed by the operating system and applications. The reason? While the procedure is almost completely automatic installation of updates is almost always a hassle, which leads to wasted time.

When you install an update to the browser for example, should close it and restart it, but they often have open many pages, many of which might be read. Before you close the browser, therefore necessary to consider them all to be sure not to miss anything, which still results in unnecessary loss of time.

How to improve the situation

The software house should organize the updates so that their installation does not affect user productivity.
For example, do not prevent use of an application while it is downloading updates. Make sure these are downloaded in the background and alert you only when everything is ready for installation. Of course it would be great if the application could install its own updates in the complete autonomy during normal use, but this is not reasonably possible.

However, most software manufacturers should be able without too much effort to provide for saving the state of an application before an upgrade, so you can restore to update installed. In any case, users almost never have as a priority the updates, even those related to your antivirus. Normally expect to buy a new PC. The best thing the computer industry can do then is to give users not making excuses updates as transparent as possible.

A band that has always been a pioneer in the sale is that of mid-range computer.

Well we’re thinking that even if Intel a few months later (the announcement was reported in July of 2009), decided that for September 2009 will be launched on the market new Intel Core I5. These units, however, will not be used only in the range desktop, but also in the notebook and will completely replace the previous Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad.
