Tell the world (especially the hiring

09/24/2004 03:59 AM
Being a team player is one of the most important attributes you can bring to a job. Team players are open-minded; they see other points of view and are willing to help others in their efforts to achieve goals. How do you get it across in the interview that you are a team player without it taking away from your value as an individual? In this article, Medzilla offers insight about how to strike that balance of letting potential employers know that you are valuable as an individual and a team player. [PRWEB Sep 24, 2004]

07/01/2004 08:41 PM
Engadget: Sony’s Network Walkman NW-HD1 - the world’s smallest 20GB ATRAC3 player. "The Network Walkman is supposed to be able to get an astounding thirty hours of battery life on a single charge." Dell has been advertising "twice the battery life of iPod" on the radio lately, but the fast talk at the end of the commercial says they assume 64kbps files. Most people probably have 128kbps files on their iPods, so the Dell DJ probably accesses the hard disk half as often -- voila, twice the battery life. And if you use 48kbps audio, like Sony does, then you get three times the iPod's battery life -- around 30 hours. When everybody's using the same parts, the only way to get a 2x or 3x advantage is to cheat.

riocarbon_3q.jpg imagePocket-Lint manages to score the first proper Rio Carbon review I've seen, and certainly the first to use Guns & Roses as their test music. One thing that is a nice is the Carbon's drag-and-drop ability, because while music managing software can be very nice, it's also nice to have the option to just copy over some music (or whatever) via Windows' Explorer or the Mac's Finder. From the sound of it, it seems Rio has a real winner in the 5GB hard disk music player. The question is, will the consumer market think so?

Carbon_LE_Box.jpg imageI'm glad Rio is actually going to push their new 5GB hard disk-based Carbon player a bit instead of just letting it languish in the market - it looks like a pretty solid product (I haven't used it yet). To that end, they're running a special promotion for the first 500 people to order the new $250 player that includes a custom-engraved, numbered back, a free shipping upgrade to 2 day air, and a 3 month/20 track download option from Napster. Oh, and lest we forget, a limited edition collectors box that looks suspiciously like someone else's. It might not be enough to sway undecided purchasers, but if you were already leaning that way, might as well give it a whirl.

4121_large.jpgThere's a rule in the tech industry—making something out of carbon fiber makes it cooler. I don't care if it's a toilet plunger or a car hood, carbon fiber just sounds more interesting than "shiny plastic." Therefore, we aren't surprised to see that Asus is giving it a go in the carbon fiber notebook niche.

A few other folks have gone this route, but Asus seems to have hit a sweet spot. The V6V isn't too ostentatious. It's got a nice Pentium M-based chipset, and it's acceptably light—a 15" screen at 5.5 pounds—to warrant the carbon fiber.

Rio Carbon: 5GB iPod Mini Fighter 08/02/2004 08:31 AM

Carbon_main_prod.jpg image

As we talked about this weekend, Rio has announced at least one new player, an update to the Rio Nitrus called the 'Rio Carbon,' a 5GB hard disk-based MP3 player with a killer 20-hour battery life (if that's the sort of thing that slays you; the iPod mini does about 8 to 10 hours, for comparison). Interestingly, the Carbon also has support for Microsoft's new DRM platform, Janus; to my knowledge it's the first player that has.

The Rio Carbon should be available late August and will retail for $250. Now where's the Rio Chroma announcement?

Auvi SA1500: iPod Mini-Sized 20GB Player 08/23/2004 10:51 AM

auvi-thumb.jpg imageNow this is the way to challenge the iPod: go smaller. While most players appeal to the nerd core by packing in tons of obscure (if welcome) features, the Auvi SA1500 tries a different tack, cramming a 20GB hard drive into a unit just a hair bigger than the iPod mini. Add in a 20 hour playback time and it's easy to call this one a contender even without having seen one in person. The price is too high; UK retailer Firebox is expected to have them on sale soon for around $450, although for whatever reason the UK always seems to get nailed with higher prices, so a US model would probably be cheaper. If they can get it out there, though, and not screw up the user interface, the SA1500 will definitely turn a few heads.
