Here’s a special deal on the Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1.

The NI Audio Kontrol is an audio interface driven by 2-input 4-input bus-power. The outer covering of the AK1 is a blend of metallic shine and shimmering black plastic which gives it an enticing appearance. The sleek design enables you to accommodate it in your laptop bag. An aluminum case is provided for carrying the AK1, which ensures damage-free transit and is not too heavy as well.

The front panel comprises of the audio inputs, level controls, mode buttons, and headphone outputs, which is a very user friendly design. For increased accessibility, the controls for the balanced outputs which are at the back are present in the front panel itself. The controls are multifunctional in as much as they can regulate the headphone volumes as well as the direct monitoring levels. When operating with a solitary input, the “MONO” button activates direct monitoring which connects input signals directly to one of the output signals.

The mounting surface of the AK1 is the control panel incorporating a main controller knob and three buttons which are not only regulators but carry instructions as well. These controls play a major role in transmitting MIDI messages or single-keystroke messages, from the keyboard. The controls are multifunctional and multiple combinations can be created when they combine with the other controls. As many as ten functions can be adequately carried out by the panel which comprises if four knobs including the main controller knob.

AK1 allows sampling of up to 192kHz, which ensures high sound quality. The Cirrus Logic AD/ DA converters are substantially better than the ones used in other audio interfaces. The AK1 records and monitors sound very efficiently.

AK1 works on the three software packages, each of which is meant for a different application. Native Instruments Traktor 3 LE has been customized for laptop DJs; Guitar Combos’ preset guitar amp and cabinet combinations offer a perfect environment for guitarists; and Xpress Keyboards includes versions of B4, FM7 and PRO-53 synths. Xpress Keyboards and Guitar Combos do not go with Intel Mac comps, however.

It is really simple to install the AK1. The software can be easily installed with the help of a CD.Restart your computer on completion of installation, connect it to the AK1 device, and you are ready to go. The software activation requires internet connection. Using a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz capacity with OS X 10.5.3. for installation is the ideal way.

TinTin comics are very popular in many countries in the world. But they’ve not yet caught on the USA. These stories by Beligan artist Hergé, involve a young reporter who travels to far-off lands on audacious adventures.

However TinTin is about to be introduced to the USA in 2011. Steven Spielberg is set to bring out a movie called The Secret of the Unicorn to the American audience. You and your family can get a jumpstart on TinTin and his lovable crew of characters and their adventures in this timely article.

About The Adventures of TinTin

The Adventures of TinTin is a comic strip series by Belgian artist, Hergé. One of the most popular comics from Europe, over 200 million TinTin comics have been sold worldwide, including translations in 50 countries.

TinTin comics are set in the 20th century.  Each comic is an adventure that takes TinTin to far-off lands.   The plots weave in elements of fantasy, mystery, thrillers, and science fiction.  There is a strong undercurrent of slapstick humor in these stories as well.

However, it is Hergé’s drawings that set these comics apart. 

The Characters

Memorable characters add to the appeal of TinTin comics:

• TinTin, the main character of these stories is a young Belgian reporter.  His brave and heroic actions save the day in each story.
• Snowy, a fox terrier, is TinTin’s companion.  TinTin and Snowy end up saving each other’s lives often in these adventures.
• Captain Haddock, a sea captain is TinTin’s best friend.  Known for the use of curses and colorful insults, Haddock adds to the humor in various situations.
• Professor Calculus, a half-deaf, absent-minded genius is a strong supporting character in many adventures.
• Thomson and Thompson are bumbling detective twins who supply the comic relief in these stories.
• Bianca Castafiore, an opera singer, is a talkative yet comical character who mixes up names, calling Captain Haddock such names as “Paddock”, “Hammock”, Padlock” etc., much to his annoyance.
• A cast of villains flit through various comics, notably Rastapopoulous, a criminal mastermind who is up to no good.

The Locations

Hergé has used a number of fictitious places like Syldavia, Borduria, San Theodoros, San Paolo, Gaipajama, and Khemed. Another thing that makes the stories fascinating is the use of actual nations and locations such as Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Soviet Union, Congo, Peru, India, Egypt, Sahara Desert, Indonesia, Nepal, Tibet, China, and Japan.

TinTin’s adventures weren’t confined to the Earth.  Two adventures were set on the Moon, way before humans really set foot on the moon.

Hergé is often commended for the extensive research work he did to create each story. This kind of research would run into months, but resulted in very believable settings and more compelling adventures.   For example, Hergé was able to come up with a design for the human space suit to be used to travel to the moon, which turned out be very close to what actually used years later in human space exploration.

With the new age internet revolution, watching TV is no longer restricted to the confines of the TV set- talk about taking things out of the box. You  won’t need to hurry home  to watch your favourite program nor fight to watch your favourite channels with other members of your family. Clever innovations have taken TV entertainment to the parameters of handheld devices such as the iphone and/or the computer. This makes life easier and more interesting for all of us. However, what we have to be careful about is the authenticity of such softwares out there in the market that purport to allow us to stream thousands of TV channels onto our PC.  If you have been searching the Internet, you’ll know that there are many softwares that claim to be free and those that require payment . So how do we  ascertain if streaming satellite TV channels onto our PC is a real deal or a scam?

This article will propose a concise checklist, based on  the author’s encounter, to assist you in differentiating the real deal from the scam .

 Ways to tell the difference between the real Satellite TV on PC Deal from the Scam

1. Payment for the Software

Most genuine softwares require the payment of a small fee in exchange for a indefinite period of time for watching thousands of satellite TV channels on your computer. On the other hand, purportedly “free” deals are not actually free as there are many hidden costs, at least in my personal opinion and based on my past experience, as they only allow you to watch certain limited channels for free whereas premium channels require a “fee” in order to be streamed. according to what i have encountered, many supposedly “free” channels contain spyware and malware that infected my computer resulting in me expending lots of money, time, effort and emotional stress to take away them.

 2. Installation Requirements 

Usually, all you require is your PC with internet connection and a elementary satellite TV on PC software to be installed on it. The software should be easy to install and offer you a comprehensive tutorial to guide you in your installation process. This should be relatively easy to use. Beware ï»¿ï»¿of softwares that prompt you to buy further softwares, hardwares or services to enable you to complete your installation .

 3. Cost of Installing Satellite TV on PC Software to Your Computer

  You will realise that many authentic softwares cost a low one-time fee that grants you a lifetime of membership. There are no further costs to be incurred, nor any monthly subscription charges to be paid. Beware if you are told that your membership is for a limited period only and you are asked to authorise the automatic deduction of your credit card or paypal account  for recurring monthly subscription fees .

4.  100% Refund 

To substantiate their authenticity, most sellers provide a 100% NO questions asked Money Back Guarantee. If  such a guarantee is not apparant on the website that your are navigating, then you should not make your purchase from this website .

5. Quality of Software and Range of Channels

There are several softwares in the market that provide excellent picture and sound quality and a wide range of thousands of TV channels to choose from such as: Sports, Movies, News, Fashion, Shopping, radiocommunication and many more over many different countries. Make sure that your website offers you these qualities.

Further, some great review sites have made a comparison of various softwares in the market, tabulated their comments and recommendations for your ease of reference. So it would be helpful to check out websites such as: www.tvworldchannel.com which can help you make an informed decision and to assure that you do not get scammed.

Raymond Michael is an internet savvy TV fanatic as well as consumer watchdog who values add his reviews and findings on the various Satellite TV on PC software in the market currently.

If you are anything like me, you do not get thrilled at the thought of meeting a ‘celebrity,’ as I have always felt that we all bleed red blood in the event of our demise, so, to me, we are all of the same .  In my line of business, I speak and meet with celebrities all of the time, or I know someone that knows a celebrity that I may need to reach for a story or an interview, and in some strange way, other people get excited at the thought of me speaking to the ‘celebrity’ (as I put in quotes), but I often times show no excitement, because they truly are people just as we are.  Here now, and may be gone tomorrow.  I often tell the story about the time that I met the late rapper, Tupac Shakur.  I had a huge crush on him, and not because of his music, but because I thought that he was handsome.  In 1993, my chance came to meet Shakur while I was at a convention in Atlanta, Georgia, and anyone that knows me, knows that I am just not one that easily excites, but when the opportunity presented itself to meet him, I froze up, and complimented him on his teeth (which, by the way, was something that my friend never let me live down).  After that, I vowed to never have a star struck moment again, and went back to realizing that though Shakur was a ‘celebrity,’ he still was no different than I was – it was an embarrassing moment to say the least.

 I know that I have said a lot in the paragraph above, but I have examples to back up why you should not get so excited about the live of a ‘celebrity, because we all remember how they used to get a lot of publicity .  You were excited over MC Hammer or over Vanilla Ice, it just seemed as if their reigns would never end, but then, all of a sudden, they somehow weakened into the sunset, and became irrelevant, something that you could not have fathomed would ever occur for such ‘celebrities’ that were on top of their game within the music genre.  Now they can use a press kit or EPK to help their public careers get back on track, as they need to now start their PR all over again. The point is that we sometimes get so engulfed in the success of these people that we really forget to think about the fact that they are really no better than we are.  Why do we care that Madonna is going to adopt another child – as there are many people that adopt children everyday?  Why would someone pay a million dollars of a picture of some celebrity’s baby? We are in a recession, so spending that type of money on a picture seems absurd to the laymen, but the reality is that, we as people live for the sensationalism of it all. 

Do we live vicariously through ‘celebrities?’  Do we admire them, not because of what they have, but because of the hope that they inadvertently give to us – the hope that, we, too, can aspire to be just as successful as they are?    What is the real reason that we are so fascinated with celebrities, because what is so important and intricate to remember is that they are only famous because of us –the supporters, the consumers, the fans.  You are the reason that they have been labeled a ‘celebrity,’ so, in essence, you are famous, too.

I remember our huge 40 inch CRT TV we had in the front room, I thought that was as good as TVs could be, even though the back stuck out a few feet! Then the plasma TV erupted onto the market and turned it on its head with a TV that was so slim you could actually hang it on the wall. LCD televisions were the next onto the market, and they started to draw people away from plasma TVs that suffered with screen burn, then HDTV sprang up, so what is next on the horizon?

A recent development has been the use of LEDs for the backlighting of an LCD TV, previously they used CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent lamps) which are bulky compared to LEDs. There are two versions of this technology, one where the LEDs go all the way across the back of the screen, which is the best way, or one where the LEDs are at the side and the light is directed to where it is needed, either way you get a TV much slimmer than the CCFL versions.

Just starting to emerge now are the 3DTVs, although that technology is still in its infancy so the reaction has not been that good at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, 3DTV is going to be amazing in the future, but at the moment you have to wear special glasses which ruin the experience. The glasses currently on the market have to flicker constantly to give each of your eyes a different image, which can be annoying and disorienting, and I have seen a report which says the 3D effect does not work if you sit more than a few feet away from the screen.

Remember these are the first generation of 3DTVs though, so the people who like to have the newest toys will buy these models, then the rest of us will wait for them to improve the technology and buy the later versions of them. I have heard of companies working on TVs that don’t need glasses, and that is the perfect solution if they can find a way to get that to work.

OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) are something to watch out for, but at the moment they are stuck with screens no bigger than about 13 inches in size. They are still trying to make the technology work for larger screens, but if they can make it work then expect screens mere millimeters thick to grace our walls in years to come! So you can see the future of TV is going to be interesting, I can’t wait to see what it will be like in 5 years time…

If you want a huge LED LCD TV then at the moment something like the Samsung UN55B8000 is popular.
