Samsung's WiFi-enabled cameras hands-on

While scouring Samsung's booth at CES's Digital Experience for that glorious 55-inch OLED set this evening, we came across a table full of new WiFi-enabled cameras and a camcorder. The logic behind the WiFi feature is that it enables direct access to Microsoft's Sky Drive, E-Mail, PC Auto Backup, remote viewfinding and of course Facebook, Youtube, and Picasa right from your phone. The top of the line $379 WB850F -- the F designation indicates it has WiFi -- has a 16 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, 21x optical zoom, 3-inch AMOLED display, shoots 1080p HD, and even has GPS with POI. The 16 megapixel $199 DV300F was also on hand with a 5x optical zoom, a 3-inch display and shoots 720p video. Samsung's 14 megapixel $229 WB15F also sports a 3-inch AMOLED screen, and shoots in full HD with up to 18x optical zoom. The tied-for-least-expensive $199 ST200F still puts in a showing with a 16 megapixel shooter, 10x optical zoom while still capturing HD video at 720p. Samsung launched one HD camcorder, the $299 Q20 which packs 20x optical zoom, time lapse, and HD recording at 1080i @ 60fps. All of the cameras have a similar heft and are built with similar materials which should help narrow people's purchase decisions to looking at what features they want and what's affordable. On to the gallery!

Improving economy: More jobs, higher pump prices (AP)

NEW YORK ? As the U.S. economy recovers and adds more jobs, Americans are paying the price at the gas pump.

The government said Friday that the nation's unemployment rate dropped to 8.5 percent, the same day that gasoline prices hit an average of $3.35 a gallon, the highest ever for this time of year.

Gasoline prices are rising again after falling in the last months of 2011. Motorists are buying less gas than they did a year ago, but pump prices are rising with higher oil prices.

"It's difficult to raise prices when gasoline demand is so anemic," said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. But if the cost of oil goes up, "you have to pass it along" to the consumer, he said.

Kloza expects pump prices will average between $3.75 and $4.25 a gallon this year. They could be around $4 a gallon by spring.

Oil prices started 2012 on the rise, continuing a trend from last year. The price of benchmark U.S. crude rose 19 percent in 2011 to an average of about $95 a barrel.

The price of benchmark crude rose 3 percent this week, though it was down slightly on Friday. The positive U.S. jobs numbers and weak economic data in Europe boosted the dollar against other major currencies, including the euro. Oil is priced in dollars, and it tends to fall as the dollar rises and makes crude more expensive for investors holding foreign money.

Benchmark crude fell 25 cents to end the week at $101.56 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, which is used to price foreign oil varieties that are imported by U.S. refineries, rose 32 cents to finish at $113.06 per barrel in London.

Oil prices jumped above $100 a barrel this week on growing tension in the Persian Gulf. Iran has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, if the U.S. and other nations enforce more economic sanctions against Iran because of its nuclear program. The strait provides the only way out of the Persian Gulf for oil tankers carrying one-sixth of the world's exports. Experts say it's unlikely that Iran could follow through with its threat, but fears of military action could slow shipments at a time when global demand is higher than ever.

In other energy trading, heating oil rose by 3 cents to finish at $3.07 per gallon and gasoline futures rose by 2 cents to end at $2.75 per gallon. Natural gas rose by 8 cents to finish at $3.06 per 1,000 cubic feet.

(SkyNewswire.com) Rip/Stream DVD iso movies to Samsung Galaxy Note for playback while out

From: tabletdays.com

Nowadays many folks like backing up their DVD discs into ISO image files for managing a mass of DVD movies in an easy way. ISO images are stored in an uncompressed format. You can enjoy the ISO movies on PC with a media player such as the VLC player. However, if you intend to put and play the ISO files on an Android devices like Samsung Galaxy Note, you need to do some work in advance. Cause ISO files is too huge and uncompatible with Galaxy Note, we need to compress and swith the ISO image files to somthing that the Android tablet phone can recognize and play.

As far as I know, to make DVD iso image files work on Samsung Galaxy Note, the best solution is to convert the iso images to Galaxy Note coampatible video formats such as h.264 mp4. Just get some help from the third-party software. There are many programs out there that allow us to make copies of our DVDs but few can handle the DVD iso image files. It seems we are not alone and Pavtube provides us a DVD Ripper applicatioin which can also converts DVD iso to fit for Galaxy Note.

To be honest, the program is easy to use for editing and conversion and makes great quality copies of my DVDs and DVD iso/ifo images. I am very pleased with the application, it exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with it. The audio/video synchronization is very good, the size of the subtitles too. Pavtube DVD Ripper is on sale at the company's New Year Promotion through Dec.5 2011 to Jan. 16 2012 if you choose this option.

Below a simpe guide about converting/transferring DVD iso to Samsung Galaxy Note for playing back in full screen with high quality, you can take it as reference:

Step 1. Install and launch the DVD iso to MP4 Converter for Galaxy Note on your computer. To load DVD ISO image, simply click ?IFO/ISO? button and navigate to the DVD ISO image.

Step 2. Choose best video format for Samsung Galaxy Note. Here I recommend you select "H.264 Video (*.mp4)" from "Common Video" category. (Or choose "Motorola Xoom H.264 Video(*.mp4)? from "Android" category.)

Tips:

1- Since many DVD movies have black border, Pavtube DVD Ripper provides editing functions to help you remove black borders for enjoying DVD movies on Samsung Galaxy Note in full screen.

2- Click on "Settings" you could easily set bitrate, frame rate, codec, channels, sample rate, etc to adjust parameters that affect video quality and file size for the video you prefer. After that, you can click on "Save as" to rename the profile, such as ?Samsung Galaxy Note (*.mp4)?. Next time, you can easily find it in ?Custom? category.

Step 3. Start the conversion from DVD iso to MP4 video.

Once the conversion completes, transfer the result video to Galaxy Note. Then you can watch DVD ISO movies on Samsung Galaxy Note as you like. Hope this article helps.
