Instaprint: a Instagram printer

Instaprint: a Instagram printer...



Instagram API also have been a huge success as the same application in the App Store. In this article we propose a very original use of the Instagram API.


No WebApp for viewing a photo but a printer capable of printing on paper polaroid any image shared on Instagram with a specific hashtag.

The idea is truly original and could prove very useful especially in promotional and advertising. Instaprint is currently being tested.

Using the hashtag # Instaprint you can send immediately your photos to this printer for Instagram and live place below you can see live arrival and print photos, unless clogging.



Live video by Ustream

How about this accessory? If the printer had a common integration API Instagram to allow direct printing of photos with a specific hashtag?

Western Digital, 80 GB internal hard drive

Occasionally, for maintenance, to replace an old hard disk drive on 2.5-inch form factor and certainly the solution to Western Digital is certainly interesting.



Apart from that today has become quite difficult to find a small internal drive with an IDE PATA, but surely the Western Digital hard drive with 80 GB and 5400 rpm with 8 MB cache can do to make sure for us.

The product, identified as WD800BEVE Scorpio, is designed specifically for mobile hardware platforms of all kinds - including laptops, external storage systems, digital audio, GPS, car navigation, tablet PCs and blade servers - enough to ensure attractive performance by affecting the Battery life and limiting consumption.

The internal solution WD800BEVE Scorpio provides a parameter of 5400 rpm. research and travel times of 12 ms with a standard available with 2 MB cache or 8 MB, opzionale.Non only the product of Western Digital WD is quiet thanks to technology WhisperDrive algorithms SoftSeek time someone says that the hard drive 2.5-inch WD is the quietest on the market.

The product from Western Digital provides high reliability due to its Shock Guard protects the drive from shocks of intensity up to 250 Gs while operating and 900 Gs when idle.

The solution also employs WD800BEVE Scorpio DuraStep Ramp technology that allows you to lock the heads so they do not come in contact with the hard data to provide further anti-shock protection.

The manufacturer guarantees at least 600,000 cycles without contamination (almost twice the competition) and a high resistance as the top side of the disk model WD800BEVE Scorpio is capable of providing a pressure greater than 5 lbs. - Nearly 1.5 times the industry average - without affecting the motor hub or other internal components.


Its specifications are summarized as follows:

* Capacity 80 GB
* PATA interface
* Transfer rate 13 MB / s
* Average Latency 5.5 ms
* Rotation speed 5400 rpm
* Buffer 8 Mb
* Form Factor 2.5 inch

Coming Krait mobile Qualcomm

Qualcomm plans to launch its latest proposal, or a new type of chipset solutions for mobile Krait identified as mobile.



In fact, the event in Barcelona, MWC, Qualcomm has decided to present a new work platform can offer advantages to the solutions of movable type.

Qualcomm has thus decided to launch a new family, the Qualcomm Snapdragon Krait.

The new processor developed by Qualcomm is able to ensure the working frequency of 2.5 GHz per core and can provide, according to the manufacturer's instructions, a performance ratio of at least a factor of 1:1.5, home to the solutions already on the ARM market.

The new home of Qualcomm chipsets are offered in different forms, in fact, according to comments from the manufacturer, should be available soon in different hardware platform with specific design criteria.

Snapdragon aims solutions from a single core to get at least four core to ensure the presence of Adreno series GPU with full support to 3D LTE modem module with built-in.

The last family of Snapdragon chipset will include solutions from single core MSM8930, MSM8960 version with dual and quad-core variant with APQ8064.

All versions of this family using a solution based on four modules to provide flexible connectivity with GPS, WFI, Bluetooth and FM.

Not only that, the manufacturer has ensured that its proposals will be able to ensure the management of NFC, or near field communication, and the ability to manage the 3D photo and video capture and playback.

Recall that the MSM8930 single-core variant is the first single-core solution with integrated part LTE modem designed specifically for the segment of smartphones tecnoligie. The variant is the presence Adreno do 305 with the potential to provide a performance increase of at least six times compared to previous solutions.

Intel 510 series with solid state drives

Intel and its new 510 series-based solid state drive technology, a new series that provides increased performance, in fact, according to some analysts, the new 510 will be able to provide SATA 6 Gbps up to 34nm manufacturing process.



Currently, the U.S. giant has not yet given enough information on the process technology used, and its performance for the new solid-state memory.

In fact, some observers have pointed out that Intel will present its new memories, or 510 series, on form factor 2.5-inch MLC flash on 34nm technology in early March.

The information disseminated on the rate assumed the arrival of two new memory modules on SSD, or a 120 GB and one 250 GB.

The first model should be suggested at a price of $ 280, while the second proposal would cost around $ 580.

Performance? First, it is still unclear benefits of these new solutions to Intel even though many observers believe that the two memories can provide a data rate of at least 470 MB / s read and about 315 MB / s write.

The ratio of 20,000 IOPS should be read with reading random blocks of 4 Kb and 5000 write IOPS.

Compared to earlier information, or when the major manufacturers announcing solutions based on 25 nm, it is probably not an afterthought, but if anything, greater caution on the technological potential in the game.

Indeed, with this new proposal, Intel prefers to take time to resolve, in all likelihood, the various problems which arose on technologies to lower cut.

Intel intends to continue along this line in order to provide more solid state memory and integrated manufacturing process at a premium, or 25 nm, but at the moment the answer to many problems.

At the same time other companies in the memory segment certainly they are not looking: OCZ or Corsair series with F80A and F115.
