I won this RAM as from Kingston Technology Canada - 1 x HyperX 8G Plug and Play (kit of 2) -
thank you Kingston Technology Canada for my price and fast shipment...
RAM arrived properly packed in the antistatic case ( case is good to keep laptop ram or regular size pc ram - good idea to preserve environment with less plastic
if production line get changed from pc ram to laptop ram or Vice versa )
I opened my laptop put Ram -in - it immediately recognized the memory and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bits... -Installation was a breeze (as long as you have the tools to open the bottom of the laptop, of course)...
I did not believe my eyes laptop loaded up OS really fast, and after I could run XP in virtual environment really fast
I did notice performance and loading up to 55% faster - had improved productivity. I now can work with all of my memory eating applications open without problem, and I've noticed great improvement in web surfing and just general use of the computer. I am VERY pleased! - When I opened Photoshop Elements 9, the response almost jumped off the page! What a difference! Every action snappy and swift. An amazing difference.
less heat under laptop - as with Kingston quality Ram - I suspect it got good heat dispersion (Kingston Technology on the outside the RAM chip -heatsinks) in the Ram area.
Not one lockup/freeze or problem of any kind. Programs are faster in general and I don't worry about closing applications any more.
I can't recommend the Kingston Technology RAM high enough...

Dimensions: 7-3/8″ x 9-1/8″

This is a good little book as a reference when dealing with the after effects and investigation of a security breach in your companys network. I would recommend this book as a manual for a network security admin or a student in the field of the forensic IT.
The book provides a good overview of the security topic and is up to date. Keep in mind the book is written from the point of view of a Cisco employee; nevertheless, the author gives the reader a manual and practical guide on how to setup and run a security incident response team. The book gives true to life examples and training to help in a job in network security

This book is right on the money: well-organized and written in easy-to-understand language. Each question and answer is fully explained. SOA implementation is not an easy or simple to understand process, but the authors allow the reader to feel comfortable with SOA. The structure of the book captured and kept my attention, to the very last question. I would highly recommend this book to any CTO or IT college student. This book is a great and informational read, whether for technical or non-technical readers. Disclosure: The publisher of the book provided a free copy for this review. I would like to thank you Melanie at ITKnowledgeExchange.com for sending me this book
This is an excellent, well-written, easy-to-read and -understand operational guide with practical tips and ideas for a new generation of IT manager. New ideas and technology quickly change concepts in IT systems management, and this book is up to date on the current ideas and technology. It would be a great desk reference for IT managers.
Even students, future IT managers, would benefit from using this as a text book, as it offers real life examples relevant to the IT systems management and mainframe environment, including legacy systems. I trust the most important benefit of this book is that it will help reduce your IT operational costs and, if properly comprehended, will give the reader the ability to use new technology to manage IT systems more efficiently and effectively.

For Dimension please take a look at the pick where AVN80X is in the middle between two smart phones… Front of the AVN80X
Back of the AVN80X
I connectedAVN80X to my network via SAPIDO Wireless 3 in 1 Pocket N+ Broadband Router (RB-1602), logged in and configure.
AVN80X have very easy to use simple user interface and it do works well with Safari, Opera and IE9... Remind me of my first router install, simple and easy.
AVN80X do support both ActiveX and QuickTime format, as with all IP camera's video
Do get a bit of lag but it around but in my opinion it less than one second barely noticeable…
In my company corporate security environment I testedAVN80X (as extra add on to our layer of security) with Ipod touch 4th gen and Android based Smart Phone
easy simple Apps install (Check (monitor/streaming) + Control theAVN80X ) for Ipod Touch and smart phone.
I like the quality of the pictures and videos/audio
I can control the digital PTZusing my fingers. Also I could clearly hear the audio, so I have a fully functional - mobile HD video/audio- surveillance system in the palm of my hand.
if the option DPTZ spark your interest you could see more on YouTube AVTECH introduction for EagleEyes on mobile device.
I tested and monitor my Co. cubical area when I was away (to see who is using my pen) and I did try it on my family and family pets Detection & Tracking and assess control for the front door pet door sensor.
I could see theAVN80X automatically locate the brother face in the frame, zoom in, and follow it. - good safe option to monitor guest or family member even under low light condition the quality of the picture and video pretty good as Live MOS Sensor - - gives you an extremely clear and detailed picture. - The quality of the picture was great even in a low-light setting. Even with out any light in the room -AVN80X built in White LED on the front produces an enough light that can illuminate objects in total darkness at least twenty feet or more in front of it.
I did try to enabled Digital Smart Zoom, this feature did allow me to leave the controls, and the AVTECHAVN80X could zoom in on the dog movements as motion got detected…(also I used the option with pet door sensor attached to the back of theAVN80X)
Also you could use it as security camera with remote monitoring plus option to attach compatible sensors to monitor door/or windows opening away from the camera viewing angle… (Excellent option for Home/Corporate Security)
Myself as visual person I would like to mention few options I really like:
LED Status Indicators – gives me visual ability to check the current Internet &LAN connection status easily
SD Slot (micro SD)
PUSH VIDEO, 5-sec Event Video Call – excellent for today’s world emergencies
External I/O Devices Support – as sometimes event do happens away from the camera viewing angle but you could still hear the audio and call police if need it…
On the final note: AVN80X IVS 1.3 Megapixel Network Camera by AVTECH is good home or corporate security solution for anyone… I do recommend it as a best IP camera total security solution at the present time...
In the future I would like to see upgrades at lease 2 Megapixel or more, option to order camera with Kevlar fibber body and shatter proof glass dome for military applications.
The Price of theAVN80X IVS 1.3 Megapixel Network Camera by AVTECH will be announced soon ( I think it would be around $200 - $240 USA more or less but do not quite me on the price) – if you interested please keep checking
Few years ago it would cost you at least $1000 or more... (ButAVN80X IVS 1.3 Megapixel Network Camera by AVTECH you could get it for much more less but with more user friendly futures)
I won this RAM as from Kingston Technology Canada - 1 x HyperX 8G Plug and Play (kit of 2) - 
from Newegg.ca -
