Break out a blank DVD and fire up x264! The folks behind x264, the freeware h.264 encoder, have announced Blu-ray compatibility. That means you’ll be able to burn a DVD containing h.264 video that will play on your standard-issue Blu-ray player. That’s good news if you still burn DVDs, something I haven’t done in for something like a year, and even then it was for someone else. Go away, plastic discs.

My own biases aside, this is a pretty big deal. Although there’s no freeware Blu-ray authoring software available right now (meaning you can’t create discs with fancy menus and the like), you’re still able to output a disc that will play on your Blu-ray player.

Depending on compression, the resulting file can fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD. Of course, you could give the file little room to breath by sticking it on a dual layer DVD.

The sample ISO, which contains scenes from several Creative Commons films, comes in at 2.33GB. If only I had any blank discs to speak of, I’d be able to try it myself!

All you’d need is any old ISO burning software, like Nero or whatever, and off you go.

Who knows, in a few years time we’ll be able to create full Blu-ray discs of our exciting family reunions!

Originally designed for the military as an easily deployable way to reduce the dirt, dust and debris that gets kicked up by a helicopter’s rotors, these Sand Free Multimats, from an Australian company called CGear, are just as effective at keeping the stuff out of your tent or off your gear while at the beach.

The mats feature a clever dual-layer mesh design that allows dust and sand to fall through without coming back up. So when placed in front of the entrance to your tent they’ll provide an effective way to keep the sand on the beach and out of your sleeping bag. The consumer versions of the mats are available in 3 sizes, 6×6 feet, 8×8 feet and 10×10 feet for $50, $60 and $75 respectively, and should be available in popular sporting goods stores sometime in May.

Blue ray discs differ a lot from the traditional DVD that we all know. A blue laser is used to read and write data onto the disc. This is different from the red laser that is used for the standard DVD. It is more commonly referred to as a high definition video and audio storage disc, which is true. But it is also a high capacity data storage disc. From Playstation, Xbox to modern personal computers and television sets this new blue ray technology is being welcomed by hundreds of consumer manufacturers like Sony, apple, Panasonic, HP, etc.

All discs that use blue ray technology are geared and capable of producing high definition video and audio. This will provide consumers with an unprecedented experience while watching a movie or listing to their favorite artist. Home theatre has never been better. The traditional theatre may become the latest endangered species of the world because of blue ray technology.

That is not all. Blue ray technology has more to give you. Imagine the normal capacity of a standard DVD doubled. Who needs hard disks any more when you have the superior blue ray technology? The single layer blur ray disc is capable of storing about 25 GB of space while a dual layer Blue ray disc can store up to 50 GB. And it’s bound to expand more and more in the years to come.

Professionals who want to carry large amounts of data from place to place find blue ray discs and other devices very useful. Movie lovers can now watch so many movies just by using only one blue ray disc with a 25GB capacity. All these devices has made life much easier for many people around the world.

Now that manufacturers are keen on distributing the blue ray technology around the world you may get a blue ray disc play in your living room any time soon. Make sure you grab one soon. Blue ray technology is here to stay and for a long time too.

While BFG is new to selling complete computer systems, they aren’t new to high performance gaming. BFG has been producing performance PC hardware for many years, and just this year got into building their own systems. The Deimos was launched at the end of October, and is intended to compete with other gaming laptop lines, such as Alienware’s M17x.

Does it compete? In a word, yes. In some ways, the Deimos surpasses the M17x. For example, when I reviewed the M17x, I had some issues with the biometric security system. Using your laptop’s webcam as a security device is a clever concept — if only it worked consistently. On the Deimos, however, everything worked perfectly out of the box. Performance is comparable. Battery life is about the same. What’s gone is the obvious “I spent $4500 on this computer!” factor that you get with the little alien head on the lid.

Let’s get down to it. Here are the specs on the system I reviewed:

Monitor: 18.4 inch, 1920×1080 resolution
Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 2.53GHz
Memory: 2x 4GB PC3 8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 (8GB total)
Graphics: 2x GeForce GTX 280M 1GB (SLI)
Optical Drive: Dual Layer Blu-Ray Disc Reader (BD-ROM, DVD/RW, CD-RW)
HDD 1: Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200 RPM SATA II
HDD 2: Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200 RPM SATA II
LAN: Realtek RTL-WLAN 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth: Internal Bluetooth v2.1
Sound: Realtek ALC883 8-Channel Azalia HD Audio
Video Camera: Bison built-in USB 2 MP Camera
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium – 64-bit Edition

Performance: As you can expect from this configuration, the machine is fast. I ran some benchmarks using Far Cry 2, which averaged a framerate of 54.26 at 1920×1080, Direct3D 10, and Overall Quality set to “Ultra High.” 3DMark Vantage reported 11,799, which is a very close comparison to the M17x at 11,904. Of course, if you’ve read my reviews before, you’ll know I’m not huge on reporting numbers; I prefer to talk about the feel of the system. And basically, the Deimos is a great computer. I’m very much into the gaming, and that’s what’s important to me when I’m using a system. The Deimos is fast, plays games really really well (42 FPS in Dalaran, settings maxed, for you World of Warcraft people) and is surprisingly light for the amount of hardware that’s jammed in there. The system has DVI and HDMI out, and a total of four USB ports (two on the left, two on the right). The back is reserved for cooling vents and the power cord. One thing to be aware of: don’t expect to be able to overclock this machine using the BIOS. The BIOS on this system is functional, yet bare bones. There are no options for overclocking at all.

Controls: The keyboard took some getting used to; the keys aren’t exactly a style that I’d normally prefer, coming from the netbook school rather then a standard keyboard. And the numeric keypad is a hot mess. It’s pretty much impossible to touch type using the number pad because everything is jammed together with the arrow keys and the standard keyboard. There’s more then enough room that they could have provided a little space between the two and made it a bit more user-friendly. There is also a series of “G-keys” down the left side. These are customizable macro keys are much like what is used on the Logitech G-Series keyboards. These too, work as intended, however they do take up quite a bit of real estate on the left side of the keyboard area.

The trackpad (centered, and highlighted with LED light) works as expected, with no major issues. The left and right button (there’s only one, and you click on either side) responds well, and doesn’t feel mushy or too stiff. There is a fingerprint reader centered in the button, which provides biometric login options.

Appearance: Aesthetically, it’s a little bright. Where it’s nowhere near as gaudy as an Alienware system, it does have a touch sensitive strip across the top, and all the icons are lit from beneath with LEDs.The touch activated icons turn on the webcam, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth hardware. You can also control the volume, or activate your web browser or media player. The LEDs in the case (shining out the front and back) and the lid can change color, however the process is less than intuitive. The case is also extremely shiny, and regrettably shows fingerprints incredibly well. BFG is aware of this, even to the point of including a large microfiber cloth for wiping it down. Overall, compared to the Alienware, the Deimos is almost tasteful.

It is interesting to note that the Deimos is a re-branded Sager notebook. Further research showed that were you to go online and order a system with the same configuration, you’d save yourself $100. Despite this fact, I’d still purchase this computer from BFG, due to their excellent record on customer service. From a value standpoint, compared to the Alienware M17x, I’d still choose the BFG Deimos. For around the same price (the M17x, configured the same costs $4,399, $24 less), the Alienware laptop has a smaller screen, weighs twice as much, and a profile that screams “steal me!”. That’s not to say the Deimos is the ideal commuter laptop — it is quite large. But it lacks the ostentatious nature of the M17x.

Final thoughts: I wholeheartedly recommend the BFG Deimos. It’s a fine machine, and doesn’t try to be more then that. I’ve found it to be more then sufficient as a desktop replacement, both for work and play. Yes, the price is high, but if you are buying a performance laptop, you have the budget for it and you probably don’t really care about how much it costs; you want the best. I will admit that I’m not a huge fan of the keyboard, but it was a simple thing to plug an external keyboard in when I was sitting at my desk. The keyboard was just fine for casual use, but perhaps it’s not for the business user.

The reason behind its name is very simple. The laser used to read and store data onto this blue ray disc is of the color blue instead of the traditional red laser used in standard DVDs.

It is more commonly referred to as a high definition video and audio storage disc, which is true. But it is also a high capacity data storage disc. From Playstation, Xbox to modern personal computers and television sets this new blue ray technology is being welcomed by hundreds of consumer manufacturers like Sony, apple, Panasonic, HP, etc.

Movie lovers can now watch so many movies just by using only one blue ray disc with a 25GB capacity. All these devices has made life much easier for many people around the world.

The use of DVD’s have actually taken a backseat as a result of blue ray technology enveloping the world within a short period of time. Don’t be surprised if your family insists on buying a blue ray DVD player and some blue ray discs. The digital world has come up with its newest addition. Why not enjoy it while it lasts?
