Oh man, I must be dreaming. Please don’t wake up! Please don’t wake up! Please don’t wake up! A mouse pad with a built-in 10-key number pad AND a three-port USB hub? All for $25?!

Yum.

It seems a little odd that the keypad would be to the left of the mouse pad but those of you lefties out there who also happen to be accountants with at least three USB peripherals that need to be plugged in have found your ultimate work-related number crunching weapon. According to the product description:

“This 3 USB Hub PC Keyboard Mouse Pad provides your mouse with a smooth surface ensuring greater accuracy, control, and faster response. It makes you point, click and drag quickly, smoothly and accurately. The numeric keyboard is very convenient to you.”

It’s also “easy to use, hot plug & play.” And who doesn’t like a little hot plug and play action?

Many individuals and companies are using Microsoft Access database mostly for their business purposes. The software is quite complex and it takes a lot of learning before you could use it successfully. And there are many questions that occur in mind of every database user. One of them is how many users are too many for a shared Access database. This article might help you clarify the question.

If you are using Microsoft Access database that has multiple users, you probably want to know what the appropriate amount of users is and how many users can be connected to your MS Access MDB file. There are several factors that define this amount. There is no maximum amount of users. You should just estimate the performance of your hardware and the database use. You have to judge how fast your network is, how fast your server is as well as individual workstations.

You should also consider if your database is properly split and the tables are in the back end file while the queries, forms, reports and modules are in the front end database. The frequency the users will query the database is also important. This way if you have tens of users who don’t do a lot of work with the records and the database will perform better than with a couple of users who query the records constantly. Your users might mostly look up the data throughout the day and edit the record rarely and the database performance will be much better than if the data is constantly manipulated. A faster performance is also achieved if the users work with only one record at a time instead of a situation when people make long reports and data is transferred from one server to the local workstation.

The thing is that if you are working with a type of SQL server, the number crunching is done on the background and then you get only the results you need. And in a shared Access MDB file all of the data needs to be sent down to your workstation and then all the work is performed by your computer.

So, as you can see, there are many factors that define the amount of users appropriate for your database. And it is very hard to say how many users are too many. There is only one solution to the problem. You should avoid errors within your database and at the beginning try to work with a couple of users. Then if everything works fine, add more users to your shared database. If there is a time that you notice any slowdown in your database performance, it is time to stop or upgrade to SQL server.

The secret to any imaging hardware is in the holy trinity of the lens, the sensor and the processor, and Sony has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the Handycam CX520VE to make it a winner in all three areas. The Exmor R CMOS sensor has backlighting technology to improve camera resolution at low light levels plus the fact that its a CMOS in the first place speaks for itself. The glassware is the same as you’ll find in the top Sony Alpha DSLRs – the G lens – and it contains ED glass elements which keep the light as crisp and the images as high contrast as possible. And all the number crunching’s taken care of by the BIONZ processor. All good so far. On top of basics you get 12x optical zoom, 12-megapixel stills, auto geo-tagging, face detection, smile-shot and a touch sensitive 3-inch LCD. Perhaps the best feature, though, is the Optical SteadyShot ‘Active Mode’ which is touted as the first three-way camera steady function. Sony says that it reduces camera shake by 10x and is designed even to smooth out the effects of walking along while shooting. Very curious to see how well that works. The CX520VE gives you 25 hours of LP recording on its 64GB internal HDD and there’s also a CX505VE 32GB HDD model if you’re happy with 12. Either way, there’s space for one of Sony’s silly memory sticks to expand your storage, if you need. They record in 5.1 surround, they’re capable of burning onto discs without the use of a computer and generally sound like the kind of camcorder that everyone will hate you for having. They’re out in August and I’ll get you prices as soon as I have them. Sony Style Check out our Top 10 HD camcorders you can actually afford here

Qualcomm has given the tech world another kick up the bum today with the launch of the 45nm processor Snapdragon platform. The chipset carries a 1.3GHz CPU and is heralded as the number-crunching power required to step smartphones up to what the company calls “smartbooks” – larger, always connected, internet and media devices. The Toshiba TG01 is at the moment the only handset to have embraced the last 1GHz Snapdragon chipset and this latest version, the QSD8650A, is set to support integrated GPS, HD video viewing and recording, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G, Wi-Fi, hi-res WXGA displays and mobile TV technologies all while using just 10 milliwatts of standby power – 30% less than before. Qualcomm is showcasing the platform at Computex this week and hopefully in a device near you some day very soon. Qualcomm
