Re: How would I do the successful Toshiba AC100

Hi all

I post my ideas for improvements here, maybe someone Toshiba reads this.
The original blog post is here:
http://soltesza.WordPress.com/2011/05/09/how-i-would-make-the-Toshiba-AC100-successful/

Please feel free to contribute here or on the blog.

-------------------------------------------------

The AC100 is first Toshiba attempts to create an ARM-based netbook (a smartbook) chipset Nvidia Tegra2 successfully.
Although the AC100 resembles an adequate hardware design, it became only
success. Some of the reasons may have to do with the primary
operating system, Android ([see my previous article on this subject | http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/toshiba-a100-smartbook-with-android-but-why/]), but more can be attributed to the fact Toshiba design decisions.

Since these machines are now available in my country of origin (Hungary)
at very attractive prices (~ US $250, some people seem to be)
trying to get rid of him, shortly after the purchase) I can't bump into
That's all the time. Sinc [view post | http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/2011/05/09/how-i-would-make-the-toshiba-ac100-successful/] e
I'm a fan of gadget, I always have my trembling hand see these prices
and I need to cool down before proceeding to an impulse purchase - I'm sorry
thereafter.

What I could click on the button "buy"?

* Memory more *.

First of all, 1-2 GB of RAM instead of the meager 512 MB the AC100
hosts. Why the hell I tried Toshiba sell a netbook with 512 MB of RAM when
ALL Atom N450 netbooks seemed to come with 2 GB at this time here?
This amount of RAM would slap Ubuntu on the machine and not
worry about running out of memory when loading of OpenOffice. Ubuntu has
been demonstrated on the AC100 and looks like even catchy. (see this [site dedicated to Ubuntu on the AC100 | http://tosh-ac100.wetpaint.com/]). Toshiba could easily put 2 GB of RAM in the machine without significant cost increase.

* OS or Android Office *.

Put 1 to 2 GB of RAM in the AC100 would open the door to use a
appropriate, based on the netbook desktop OS that can take advantage of the
form factor. They should use Ubuntu, because that could be fixed up
This material at any time (especially if they're buying tips
from Canonical).

I don't think Android needs to stay on the machine but if
Toshiba still think it is a good idea for any group of users, what they
could do the AC100 dual-booting, or better yet, to run two operating systems
parallel (2 GB of RAM would do that quite possible). Android would be
be the light and easy operating system on the device, but the user could at any time
switch to a full Ubuntu desktop with an icon of the Android launcher and start
using OpenOffice or another decent desktop software. The
paravirtualization developed by B-labs would be a [instant solution | http://armdevices.net/2011/04/04/android-virtualization-on-ti-omap4-processors-dual-core-cortex-a9/] for this problem and would be future proof machine for a possible Windows8 scenario later.

* Battery more *.

The 8 hour duration of the AC100 is pretty decent, but more
battery time is always welcome. The speaker has a LOT of free/empty
the space under the keyboard because of the ultra compact nature of Tegra2 and
its support circuits. Toshiba should again take advantage of the
form factor and add one or more additional battery bays home under the
a keyboard that could extend the duration of 16 to 24 hours. (Of course,
they would make the unit but much more weight since these batteries
would be optional, this decision is up to the user. A 24 hours
running with a 3-battery arrangement would make the AC100 extremely
seeking a large set of users. It is acceptable that the
batteries are charged in the series (so the charging process is longer)
While Toshiba doesn't have to switch to a more expensive diet.
(Although the power issue is probably not a serious cost
Factor).

* What else *.

Of course, there are many things to be improved (more USB
ports, high-resolution screen... etc) but I have tried to make things
that require a smaller redesign so that could be an improved version
faster implementation.

According to me, the AC100 line could be really successful and Toshiba to take the necessary steps to get there.

Thanks for your interesting ad. :)

    Is there any script task or program that I could create in the ESXi host for this? Or, is there a free tool I could use to do? Please keep in mind that I use a free ESXi and I do not have anything but the free one.

    Thank you.

  • How would correspond to the background of an image texture after the removal of first plan?

    Campbellskull copy.jpg

    So, as you can see, in this photo, I erased the man's head with the pen tool, and I put a skull in its place. There are a few empty spaces where the guy head has been, however, and I would like to fill the white spots with a realistic texture matching blue background. It looks like something that can be easily done in photoshop, but I don't know how to do. suggestions?

    In addition, some advice on the adequacy between the effects of light on the skull with the lighting of the man with the original image? and suggestions on how to fill in his collar/neck region? I have no idea what I would do here, lol. Thank you

    There are actually a few ways to approach it, what the guy said on the clone stamp works, or you can use the tool of selection on the exposed upper half of the wall, copy and paste it on a layer underneath where yah erased and fidgit with her until yah got an appearance gross as it corresponds to the rest of the image (may require turning) , or crush the selection and if you don't mind a bit of unprofessionality, then use the clone and smudge to try to smooth out the lines a bit after collpasing the background layer and the copied each other, segement (not the best way, but if it's just a picture of joke for a message board that does not need to be large ", it will do the job.) You can always keep a copy of the background however, incase yah live upwards and it smudges too and it is impossible to cancel.

    In regard to the collar and the neck, I would search the Internet a bit to find a neckbone and put it in a layer under the bottom layer and the skull, making sure to choose a darker picture of a neckbone to make regarder watch in more shade, then do a search for clothes and get some clothes shown without that person in them (generally good options for images lying around are goods in sales.) Cultures that and put it under all those layers, shrink and expand, the need for yah (preferably a reduction to avoid pixelation) then take a selection tool and make a selection of the part of the neck, go to the magic selection tool, click on the white area of the layer, then do a reverse selection, it should give you a copy of the General form also long that yah had erased the "excesses" of the yah photo took, open a new layer between the back of the shirt and the bones of the neck, drag the layer selection a task and color, oh black and put it, a lower opacity (maybe 60%?), you'll get what appears to be a "shadow" is the look of the neck bone lower and raise as much as yah need to so it seems that the light source comes from the same region and maybe fill a little below the skull so the skull seems to have a shadow as well. It might be good to put this on a different layer so that the shadow will overlap the bones of the neck, as well as the shirt.

    With respect to the skull. No real easy way to adjust the skulls of shading too close I can understand my experience, although you might try turning, or play with the brightness and contrast functions to make it more "on the photo,"

  • How would you define your industry sales promotion?

    Sales promotion continues to become a term very Council.  In the tech space it seems to be common around what sales promotion is in fact, other industries are trying to define.  Promotion sales includes reseller partners (that is to say the manufacturing and life sciences), internal and external advisors (wealth management, IE), agents (IE asset management)?  In addition, enablement will exceed supporting partner/Advisor/agent and include also allow the internal organization manage the recruitment of these resources?

    How would you define the sales promotion, and how did you put it into practice?

    Not sure that I even an answer to the question again... need her more ruminating.  But as someone who has a background in marketing in the technology sector and now it feels like the term sales promotion has become synonymous with marketing consultant fighting to not bring the 'golden' son fast enough or often enough.  The tools are powerful and what we as traders can provide these days is very different than even five years ago, but it seems that the 'Hunter' in sales is spent (particularly in small businesses) and was replaced by one or the other team of telequal who is really just taken stakeholders and call them to transmit a way (of sale) or the other (back to marketing) or by a team that wants to only call entering lead and very strongly censored conduit.  Despite the engagement of leaders in the industry such as lead scoring Sirius is used rarely, or not at all, and when he is he has been transferred to provide the speed of do not have the quality of the leads.   Scoring lead was swapped so far of his intention, that he can't spend perhaps the highest quality leads without any cables that respond to anything.  Somewhere, lead quality became lost and quantity has led to a passing cables fire hose back, so assume sales marketing can only produce volume and not the quality and the cycle starts again.

    I think that now it's time to redefine the sales promotion.  Provision of tools for sales, it is a single component, of agreement and mutual understanding around what feeds the process, the agreement on an advance of what is, for trigger points that move from one stage in the cascade to another, ALS and feedback on both sides around what works and what is not form the backbone of successful activation.  After that the process and tools are in place a robust feedback loop must be built, something that allows two parties to share (systematically) how things work in the field.  Somewhere in the middle of this loop, it goes beyond just sales and marketing and even involves the product teams to help them better understand how the features and functionality of the products they design are really vibrate with customers.  This feedback beyond the sales and marketing of the teams then form the basis for business enablement, truly enabling the success of the product and the company as a whole.
