Microsoft gaming keyboard

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Microsoft committed itself further to gaming keyboards Monday morning through the SideWinder X4. The USB peripheral revolves around a freshly developed anti-ghosting technology that can recognize many key presses without losing input. A user can press as many as 26 keys at once and so can keep control even in the middle of a first-person shooter.

The full-length USB keyboard also has programmable macro keys, the option to automatically repeat macros and a profile feature to reconfigure the keyboard for different games. Backlighting is equally adjustable and can be set to match a given game.

Microsoft doesn’t ship the X4 until March but will start taking pre-orders at Amazon before the end of the week at $60

Best Barcode Scanner

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Barcode Scanner Types

When most people think of a barcode scanner, they think of a gun-type scanner that has a trigger. These are called “hand-held” barcode scanners. They’re easy to operate - to scan a barcode; you point the scanner at the code, and pull the trigger. Handheld barcode scanners are programmed at the factory to “beep” and shut off the scan light when they read a good barcode.

In grocery and other retail applications, its often cumbersome for the operator to pick up the barcode scanner to scan items, set it down to complete the sale, then pick it up to scan again. Fixed barcode scanners are common in grocery and large retail chains. The cashier just puts the barcode into the scanner field-of-view, and the scanner does the rest. These types of barcode scanners are called “Fixed Scanners” because they’re designed to stay in the same place and the barcodes are passed in front of them.

Fixed barcode scanners are also widely used in conveyor, packaging and shipping operations. Basically, the product passes in front of the scanner, the barcode scanned, and the data sent to a computer for processing.

Some barcode scanners combine elements of the hand-held scanner and the fixed scanner. This barcode scanner is designed to sit on the counter and will read barcodes passed in front of it, but it can also be picked up by the operator and has a button to operate in point-and-shoot mode. These scanners are excellent for use in convenience stores, gift shops and in kiosk installations.

For small retail applications with a combination of “point-and-shoot” and “sit-and-scan” requirements, manufactures now supply stands with their hand held barcode scanners. When placed in the stand and placed in “auto-sense” mode, these barcode scanners work without pulling the trigger.

Line up the lines or just scan

The most common barcode scanners are linear or 1-dimensional barcode scanners. They project a line of red light. The operator must orient the line of scanner light perpendicular to the bars of the barcode, as in the following illustrations:

Often, you can speed up the scanning process by using an omni-directional barcode scanner. This type of scanner doesn’t have a single red line that’s projected from the scanner head. The scanner projects a “scan box”, with a marker light for the center of the box and corner markers that denote the outside of the scanning zone. The omni-directional barcode scanner doesn’t care how the barcode is oriented in order to scan it. See the following illustration:

We’ll get into the technicalities of how omni-directional scanners work later on. The important thing to remember is that you can speed up the scanning process by moving from the common linear or 1-dimensional barcode scanner to an omni-directional barcode scanner. The latter is more expensive, but if you’re in a scanning intensive environment, it will probably pay for itself by eliminating the time and effort require to “line-up” the barcode with a scan line.

    Tips for shopping on internet auctions

    Tagged Under : , ,

    Here are more tips for protecting yourself while shopping in online auctions.

    Know exactly what you’re bidding on. Read the seller’s description of the item or service, and if a photograph is posted, look at it. Read the fine print. Look for words like “refurbished,” “close out,” “discontinued,” or “off-brand” — especially when shopping for computer or electronic equipment — to get a better idea of the condition of the item. Sometimes this information and other important terms are in a contract that may be found by following a hyperlink in the listing to the seller’s online store.

    Determine the relative value of an item before you bid. Be skeptical if the price sounds too low to be realistic. Use the internet to do some comparison shopping also check out stores in your area. “Brick-and-mortar” stores and price comparison sites may be good for reality checks.

    Refuse to provide personal information. There should be no reason to give out your social security number or driver’s license number to the seller. Be cautious when responding to special offers (especially through unsolicited e-mail). It may be a smokescreen to get your personal information. Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your own country. It is almost impossible for law enforcement to help you recover from a foreign scam.

    Use your credit card when paying. The safest way to purchase items via the Internet is by credit card because you can often dispute the charges if something is wrong. Make sure the transaction is secure when you electronically send your credit card numbers. Look for a lock icon on the browser’s status bar or a website URL that begins “https:” (the “s” stands for “secure”). Don’t trust a site just because it claims to be secure. Before using the site, check out the security/encryption software it uses.

    Consider utilizing an escrow or alternate payment service. Be suspicious of an online escrow service that cannot process its own transactions and requires you to set up accounts with online payment services. Legitimate escrow services never do this.

    Consider whether the item comes with a warranty, and whether follow-up service is available if you need it. Many sellers don’t have the expertise or facilities to provide services for the goods they sell. If this is the case with your seller, be sure you’re willing to forfeit that protection before placing a bid. Email or call the seller if you have any questions. Wait to bid until you get straight and satisfactory answers.

    Consider reserving a separate credit card, stored-value card, or bank account to use just for your online transactions. If the online payment service cannot recover the loss from the seller, it might try to recover its loss from you, using the credit card or bank account information. A separate account limits your exposure.
