Samsung Mass Produce AMOLED in Advance to Meet the Needs of Smartphone

Samsung announced Tuesday that its new factory has put forward two months to mass produce AMOLED display to meet the increasing needs of Smartphone and Tablet.

Completed two months ahead of schedule, Samsung's 5.5 generation production line uses glass substrates which are three times larger than in the previous generation plant. This helps the company reduce the production costs and boost output. The factory's current capacity is 3 million screens per month, but it can reach 30 million at full capacity.

In the first season of 2011, Samsung ranked the first among the suppliers of AMOLED display worldwide with a supplement of nearly 99%.

Rumors also have said Apple’s iPhone 5 may adapt AMOLED display and the release date may be this September long time ago. Recently a new rumor says than the next iPhone will not be iPhone 5 but iPhone 4S and will show up on June 6 at the WWDC soon. So if we take the two pieces of news into consideration, we’ll find out that both rumors can be true.

Top 15 Graduation Songs for 2011 Graduation PowerPoint Slideshow

Times flies, it is June already. It seems that the New Years Day is yesterday but we are already passed half a year now. It is the time for the hot and dry summer, and also the graduation of students. Every year, millions of students will go through the graduation ceremony and enter a higher level. It is the time for departure and our hearts will be filled with all kinds of feelings.

To say goodbye to our teachers or classmates, usually we may create a graduation PowerPoint or graduation video slideshow to conclude our lives with each other and express our sincere emotions.

Here is a collection of really great graduation songs which will be perfect for graduation PowerPoint background music. If you too want to make a PowerPoint or video slideshow, this will be absolutely help to you.

Graduate by Third Eye Blind: Stephan Jenkins' fervent cry of "Can I graduate?"is sure to resonate with those who, in fact, can.

Sing by My Chemical Romance: This song is an anthemic call to raising your voice and being heard even when you face opposition. My Chemical Romance have created a great new song for helping celebrate a point in life in which self-identity is of utmost importance.

How Far We've Come by Matchbox Twenty: Go ahead, Class of 2010, look back with pride. Bask in your accomplishments over a sweet drum-and-acoustic-guitar backbeat. While "I believe the world is coming to an end" isn't necessarily a positive message, at least you graduated.

Firework by Katy Perry: Katy Perry's No 1 smash hit single is a clear call for positive self-esteem. It is a perfect upbeat song for graduation parties and ceremonies.

Good Riddance by Green Day: It never fails to amuse me that the quintessential graduation song was written as one last kiss-off to a bad relationship. Nevertheless, it still stands proudly in the pantheon of overplayed graduation songs.

Can’t Go Back Now by The Weepies: This song by the Weepies was featured in the film Adam. The underlying tone of the words is that moving forward can be scary due to the possibility of being alone. However, the song provides encouragement for the importance of taking those steps.

Closing Time by Semisonic: "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning' end." With that bit of pseudo-existentialism, Semisonic launches you on to the next phase of your lives. Fun fact: The drummer drums and plays the piano at the same time. Aspire to that same multitasking ability.



Don’t Look Back by Boston: Boston's rousing pop-rock anthem from the 1970s is still a powerful song for helping celebrate the "new day breakin'" that is represented by graduation.

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield: Bless you, Natasha, for reminding us of the limitless opportunities of the future. This might be the most upbeat song of all time, and I'll be damned if it doesn't make you hopeful.


Graduation Song by Vitamin C: Awkward confession time: I cry every time I hear this song. It's the ultimate in clichéd graduation songs, but somehow it still affects each of us. Because "as we go on, we remember all the times we had together. And as our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever."
(Another song with the same name "Graduation Song" by Amy Diamond is perfect,too. It is gentle, sweet and encouraging.)

Graduation Day by The Beach Boys: This Beach Boys song is somewhat rare. However, it is well worth hearing and adding to the mix of songs played at the time of graduation.

Pomp & Circumstance: There's something to be said for literalism. Everyone's favorite march is about to be trotted out once again.

Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall: KT Tunstall wrote this song about a specific person she found inspirational. However, it easily conveys the general importance of mentors and role models in life. Graduation is a perfect time for this reminder.

100 Years by Five For Fighting: Everyone's favorite sappy recounting of times past, with a vaguely sinister undertone reminding us of our own mortality.

Times Like These by Foo Fighters: One of the more palatable overplayed graduation songs. There's something strangely comforting about Dave Grohl's vocals, and between the album and acoustic versions, you've got enough material to last through high school and college! (Grad school is another story.

Wonderwall by Oasis: This song isn't actually about graduating—in fact, I don't know exactly what it's about—but somehow it winds up on every playlist and in every photo montage. After all, you will be my wonderwall, won't you?

Besides, for more Graduation Songs, definitely you cannot miss this article:

Review of Kung Fu Panda 2: From a Chinese Eye

Have you guys watched the Kung Fu Panda 2? It has released in US on May 26, 2011.

The first film Kung Fu Panda was debuted to $60.2 million in June 2008. And Producers have a big ambition of $65 to $70 million for Kung Fu Panda 2 this year. However, right till now, it seems not too optimistic for them.One of the reasons, according to one analyst is that the students are still in the class. But in my opinion, many people are waiting for the time to watch it on iPhone 4, iPad 2, Motorola Xoom or Galaxy Tab, etc. to save time and money for the depression of the economy.

The story is like this: Po is living his dream as the dragon warrior and protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu master include Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey. Po’s life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use secret unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu.

Po and the ‘furious five’ will travel across China to face the threat and vanquish it. The questions that how can Po stop a weapon that can stop kung fu and how he unlocks the strength he needs to succeed can be answered on the big screen only.

(When I say Kung Fu Panda in the following text, it refers to both Kung Fu Panda and Kung Fu Panda 2)

As a Chinese, it makes me feel complex when watching this Kung Fu Panda film. And as I know, a lot of people, especially the educated ones, have the same opinion as me. Should we feel proud that the American people are accepting the Chinese way of thinking for what we can see in Kung Fu Panda? Or should we feel ashamed that we cannot produce such a wonderful film if even we have long taken Panda as a national treasure?

However, we can still see that the so called Chinese factors in this movie are far more American than Chinese. First, the character of the Panda Po is different. Maybe the only similarity is that Po is fat. But just like the Panda in Warcraft III, Americans have given the Panda new skills and new characters. While in Chinese culture, what can a Panda do? Nothing! The Pandas in China have difficulty reproduce naturally and they are under entire care of the human beings. We Chinese have never imagined (or dreamed) such animals can save the world!

Besides, the philosophy in Kung Fu Panda is American with a Chinese coat. The dialogue in the movie seems so Chinese for many of them are translated from the ancient Chinese philosophy books. But under this guise, it is actually the American philosophy! To save the world has long been an American way of thinking which we may find in so many Hollywood movies that we don’t need to find examples. In Chinese culture, no one is thinking about the world will be destroyed one day and there will be a super hero to save the world. May be it is due to the religious reason for the most import 3 religion in China (Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism) have no such saying as end of world or judgment day. Though Islam has, but it is minority compare to the majority Chinese people.

Finally, "distroy the Kung Fu" is ridiculous. The villain in Kung Fu Panda wants to conquer China. Possible! He wants to destroy Kung Fu. Totally nonsense! The American people may not know Chinese people enough at this point. Anyone who has read some Chinese Kung Fu novels or watched some Chinese Kung Fu films will find out that the utmost desire for a person is to become the first of the world (conquer China), but he will not even think of destroying Kung Fu. Most of times he will try his best to find a student to inherit his Kung Fu. And if he cannot find a talented one, he will die with regret!

These are some of feelings about Kung Fu Panda, from the Chinese way of thinking. Anyway, Kung Fu Panda 2 is a good movie and I am looking forward to watching it.

How to add YouTube video to PowerPoint?

I usually spend much time on Internet, partly because of my work, partly because of my interest.

I always enjoy the time watching International news, economic commitment, Linux forum, video sharing websites and Q&A websites. It is a pleasure to help others by telling them what you know about. On Internet, all of us are equal to each other. Many of the people are quite kind hearted. Without them, the world will be much more difficult for us. One of the most important examples is the Q&A websites.

Whenever I face some difficulties, I tend to try to find the answer myself. But many times, I can’t. So what will you do in this case? Yeh! Most of you may say “Google” it. But you know Google is just a search engine, it is just like the menu of a book. The real content of the book is on separate websites. Some of the answers are on Q&A sites, like Yahoo Answer; answers on Yahoo tend to be easy to understand. But for some professional questions, you’ll need to go to the forums. When I was learning Linux, I attended several Linux forums to search for answers.

On Yahoo Answer, I always see some people ask about how to add YouTube video to PowerPoint, because I am interested in PowerPoint and video sharing stuff. One of the things that I feel disappointed is that people are getting lazier and lazier, physically and mentally. When they have a question, they just Google it or ask on Yahoo Answer, they don’t want to fix it themselves. The worse is that they even don’t want to Google for answers. Ask the same question on Yahoo Answer for thousands of time.

For the question above, you can easily find the answer; all you need to do is search for a bit more. Basically, when you want to add a YouTube video to PowerPoint, you need to think in this order:

• 1. What are YouTube and PowerPoint?
• 2. What is the format of the YouTube video? What video formats PowerPoint support?
• 3. How can we download YouTube videos?
• 4. If the YouTube video format is not supported by PowerPoint, what to do?
• 5. What are the steps of inserting video to PowerPoint?

For the upper questions, I think many people are not sure about the video format and YouTube video download stuff.

1. How to download YouTube videos? Personally I love to use Firefox. There are quite a lot of add-ons for help. If you are not using Firefox, you can use YouTube Downloader.

2. The downloaded YouTube may be MP4 or FLV format. As I know, PowerPoint 2003&2007 don’t support MP4 (PowerPoint 2010 can), so you’ll need some video converter to change the video format. I suggest you convert MP4 to WMV, a video format brought out by Microsoft.

3. Then, you can add the YouTube video to your PowerPoint.

• Step 1: On the Insert tab, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Movie from File.
• Step 2: Click the video you want to use and then click OK.
• Step 3: After you click OK, you' are promoted with a message asking how you want the movie to start in the slide show. I recommend you choosing "Automatically "even if you want the movie to play when clicked.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video

Why Convert PowerPoint to Video:

When we I PowerPoint, I mean Microsoft PowerPoint, for it the most widely used PowerPoint presentation software, mainly due to the success of Windows Operating system. Mainly because of Microsoft’s business design, we will face lots of problems when using PowerPoint.

1. So many versions of PowerPoint, the most famous are PowerPoint 2003, PowerPoint 2007 and PowerPoint 2010. Two problems will bothers us:

  (1) We need to pay again for upgrading PowerPoint to a higher version. Evil Microsoft PowerPoint, for every version, we have to pay again and again.

  (2) According to Microsoft’s tradition, the new version is back-compatible with lower version to some extent. So the PowerPoint made in higher version cannot be played in lower version.

2. PowerPoint is PC-based software, of course it has Mac versions now, but we still need a computer to watch PowerPoint. What if we don’t?

3. PowerPoint from different countries may use different languages. So the language pack is a problem.

4. PowerPoint is still not supported by most of the websites, especially online sharing sites. The most famous ones like YouTube, Metacafe don’t allow users to upload PowerPoint.

All these problems can be perfectly solved after converting PowerPoint to video.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Video?

There are many ways we can choose to export PowerPoint to video if we want to. Basically I suggest using like Moyea PPT to Video Converter to convert PowerPoint to video. Later, I will also tell some methods.

Method A: Moyea PPT to Video Converter

Step 1: Free download and install, run the program and add PPT file.

Step 2: choose an output video format and set the video codec, video size, bit rate, etc as you need.

Step 3: start conversion and we’ll get the video out of PowerPoint easily.

Tips:

All your PowerPoint original elements like animations, transitions, video clips, sounds, fonts and languages will be preserved. Besides, the output video format is abundant; almost all the popular video formats are supported. Great, isn’t it?

Method B: Windows Movie Maker

Step 1: Save your PowerPoint slides as images like JPG or PNG in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Step 2: Import these pictures into Windows Movie Maker and make a video.

Tips:

All the original elements will lose and you need to edit it again using what Windows Movie Maker provides.

Method C: Online PowerPoint sharing websites

The PPT sharing sites like authorSTREAM.com and DocStoc.com enables you to display PowerPoint presentations online. However, technically, the PowerPoint you upload to these sites is not in PPT format anymore, indeed the PowerPoint has been automatically converted to video format like MP4 or FLV. That’s why we can use these websites to export PowerPoint as video.

Tips:

The output video format is limited and you cannot adjust the video parameters yourself.

Method D: Only for PowerPoint 2010 users

PowerPoint has added a new function; with it we can directly save PowerPoint as video format. But the video format can only be WMV and the video size can only be 960×720, 640×480 or 320×240.

Tips:

You need to have PowerPoint 2010 first. Besides, the output video format and video size is limited.

Method E: Screen recorder

If you have the budget, you can use a screen recording application like Camtasia Studio to record PowerPoint presentations as video on your desktop.

Tips:

This will take you lots of time and the recorded video is quite large, you’ll need to use video converter to edit the video to reduce the size.

Ok, after viewing the 5 methods of converting PowerPoint to video, which one do you prefer? Personally I’d prefer the Method A, for it the easiest and has all the solutions we want.

How to Conquer Nervousness of PowerPoint Presentation in Front of People

The reason why you are nervous is because you have too high an expectation of yourself. Let me take a metaphor as an example. If we see you successfully make the PowerPoint presentation with ease as walking through a board which is 50cm wide and 10m long. So if you look at yourself correctly and you will not feel nervous with the PowerPoint presentation, it’s just like the board is putting on the ground.

Now imagine that we put the board between two buildings and at 10 stories high, can you still walk through it easily. This is why you feel nervous with PowerPoint presentation; because you have set a goal too high and the nervousness is coming from your fear of lose.

There is one story about a professor and a student. The professor asked the student to write an essay and told him don’t matter the essay is good or bad, just write the essay all by himself. The student followed the instruction and finished the essay and finally find out the essay is better than any other essays he had written! This method actually takes off the mental burdens just like we put the board back to the ground. It is a good method to relax yourself especially when a task is too hard or complicated to finish at once.

Some Practical Method to Help You Get Through Nervousness

1. Set a timeline of your PowerPoint Presentation.

To avoid the nervousness when making a PowerPoint presentation, first you can estimate how much time you will need to finish it. And then set the timeline. That means you set time duration between two slides and make the PowerPoint play automatically. When you are facing the audience, your focus will be on the pace and speed you speak to match the set timeline.

2. Convert the PowerPoint to PDF.

This makes your PowerPoint more like a book and thus seems professional and impressing. This unique performance will make you more confident.

3. Present your PowerPoint as a movie.

When watching a movie, people tend to relax and more likely to fix their attention on the screen. In this way, less eyesight will drop on you and you will feel less pressure. Besides, view PowerPoint as movie is very interesting but you’d better add some background music and video clips.

The Forgotten Legend Nikola Tesla-What Can We Trust In Now

Several years ago when I was eager to learn new stuffs on the Internet, I happened to find some unbelievable materials about the Western Superpowers.

One of which is the pseudoscience of the global warming. I can't remember the details now. But it mainly tells us that from the figures of a much longer history of global temperature, the temperature of our times isn't over high at all. There are ups and downs of global temperature. That’s normal. And the Western governments know that better than any other people. But for their own profits they will spare no efforts to educate the whole world that the earth is growing warmer. Because they are making the rules, and once the developing countries don't achieve the standard, they have the right to charge for money.


Nowadays we name them the three most important genius of the human history-Sir Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci and Nikola Tesla. We are very familiar with Newton and da Vinci. But seldom hear things about Tesla. It has been 500 years before people get to know the real da Vinci. In the past he was just remembered as an artist. In fact he spent much more time on scientific research, which is 200 to 500 hundred years forward his time.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943, quite like Leonardo da Vinci, is still kept as the top secret by the US government. Right after his death, all the research fruits, research scripts and materials have been taken by the FBI. The US government tried hard to erase his name but not succeed. That's why we can still get to know him on Internet.




Today I happen to get to know Nikola Tesla and after I read what he had done in his lifetime. I cannot even believe there is one man like him ever. Tesla is regarded as one of the most important inventors in history. After you learnt what he had invented through his life, you will feel that Thomas Alva Edison is just like a child compare to him.

His inventions include a telephone repeater, rotating magnetic field principle, polyphone alternating-current system, induction motor, alternating-current power transmission, Tesla coil transformer, wireless communication, radio, fluorescent lights, and more than 700 other patents.

Especially the alternating-current system, it is the most widely use all over the world. All of us have learnt the transformer in our middle school, but how many of you heard of the name Nikola Tesla. So that is our Education!

The most and the beginning of his controversial inventions is Tesla coil transformer. By this invention, the electricity can by transferred by air. Once we built a Tesla coil tower and send out 600W powers, every one with a receiver within 35 kilometers can receive 600W, regardless of the distance and numbers of the receivers. From our limited Physics knowledge, it is hard to believe this had been invented 100 years ago. But it is too good that it may hurt the profit of the giant Consortiums. So they together with the US government abandoned this invention.

In this world, when the US or the whole Western governments talk about the energy shortage over and over again. Can you still believe in what they say? It isn't that once your product is good then it will be successful. The superpowers will take measures to suppress you for their own good.

Celebrate Mother’s Day 2011 With Homemade E-cards or DVD Slideshow

The two most important holidays for a mother are her birthday and Mother’s Day. But from the view of sons or daughters, we should not forget to express our thankfulness and love to our mother on Mother’s Day. She is not only the one who gave birth to us but also who raised and educated us. In Chinese proverb, the only person who is always nice to you is your mother. She is the dearest person in the world. She is willing to take all the sufferings to make sure we live in comfort. Whenever we get cold, hungry, lonely, hurt, she will be there. Mother is the source of our lives; the love of a mother lasts forever. What about our love to mother?

Two days later it is Mother’s Day for 2011. What plans do you have to celebrate this big holiday for our mother? This year I will try to make an E-card or DVD slideshow by myself.

We don’t need professional video editing program like Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas. What we need are PowerPoint and PPT to DVD Burner.

• First, find some free resources like PowerPoint templates, Mother’s Day songs, poems online.
• Second, take out your family photos and make a PowerPoint photo album. Add the above materials to it. A few transitions, animations, video clips and your voice narration will make it much better.
• Finally, run PPT to DVD Burner to burn the PowerPoint to DVD disc or just convert to a video format.

Now, make a phone call and tell mom that we’ll visit her on Mother’s Day. While that day comes, take the DVD slideshow as a Mother’s Day gift. I’m sure mom will love the special gift.

Be Careful of Money Hunting Tricks in Smartphone Market

I have a sense that the world is a chaos somehow now. Even though the law has been used in every corner of our life, we will still get trapped, not by rope on our feet, but on our minds.

Nowadays the main manufacturers seem to be not really interested on the quality of their products, but only the money in our pockets. In the guise of high-tech, they create new words and tell us a new technology has been used in this product. Of course, price will go up.

Emperor of version number

On the other hand, manufacturers have formed a bad habit of using the numbers to fool our customers. The one who began this bad habit is Google. The web browser, Google Chrome, is quite popular recently. As a new member of web browser family, the first version debuted in 2008.  Google created a new way of cheating users – simply changing version number frequently. Now the version number has gone up to 11. It's a pity that Firefox has an interest in this method, too. Firefox planed to accelerate the develop progress. In 2011, Firefox 5 and 6 will show up, while it takes more than 1 year for them to bring out Firefox 4.

King of flagship

It is human nature that one is much easier to learn bad than good. Whether HTC is affected by Google, we cannot figure out independently. But the one thing we can see is every two or three weeks we'll hear HTC has announced a new flagship Smartphone.   HTC inspire 4G, HTC incredible 4G, HTC thunderbolt, HTC Desire, etc. (I'm so tired to list all the flagships of HTC, please kill me.>_<!), all are flagships. I have a question for you, HTC! Have you ever read the dictionary? What does flagship mean?

Tricks of Apple legend

Apple did much better than HTC. Apple releases its product quite cautiously to ensure the quality. And whether we like Apple or not, we have to admit, Apple products (like iPhone, iPad, iPod) are ultimately easy to use.
