(1) There is a very small spot of dimmed pixel, not really annoying once you get used to it. (ii) Some asshole dropped the power brick before, the casing is slightly cracked but structurally safe, solid and no issues with it.

Manual Driving Will Die Soon

kingster113 — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 04:39:50 +0800

GM's TapShift technology shows why automatic transmissions may soon replace manuals

QUOTE

The 2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1 - the most powerful production Camaro ever - will make use of the latest iteration of TapShift technology. This automated transmission option allows drivers to move through gears using paddle shifters. The updated 2012 TapShift system creates faster shifts, that make the automatic Camaro quicker to 60 mph ( 96.5 km/h) than the manual version. While the transmission choice for a muscle car as fast and powerful as the ZL1 would traditionally have been obvious in the past (manual all the way), GM's updated TapShift technology makes a strong case for the automatic.

On the latest episode of Top Gear (US edition), the boys went head to head in a muscle car competition pitting the Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro against each other. Co-host Tanner Foust took a lot of ribbing for the flamboyantly colored, automatic-equipped Camaro he arrived with, but was able to upset the pack with a win in the first challenge, despite having the handicap of an automatic transmission.

While the fact that Foust is the host with the deepest resume of car racing credentials certainly helped, the automatic transmission isn't the anchor it once was ... and it's only getting better. In the new Camaro ZL1, the six-speed paddle-shift transmission delivers a 0-to-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds - a tenth of a second faster than the manual transmission.

GM explains that the upgraded TapShift system released this year includes a software algorithm update that boosts tap response times by as much as 60 percent over the outgoing TapShift. This algorithm predicts shifts based upon the current gear, throttle, torque and speed. It then stages hydraulic pressure in the clutch for the next gear, reducing delay for the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 up-shifts by 200-300 milliseconds.

Newer automatic transmissions with manual modes are becoming so convincing, in fact, that a Porsche engineer predicts the 911 will lose its manual transmission in less than a decade, even though Porsche just designed a new seven-speed manual for the 2012 911. Michael Schätzle, project manager for the new 911, told Automobile magazine this week that the manual has no more than "one or two generations" left to live. He said that 78 percent of global 911 buyers already choose Porsche's seven-speed PDK automated transmission over the manual option.

Other European exotic carmakers have already eliminated manual transmissions on some cars. The new Aventador LP700-4 will be sold exclusively with Lamborghini's new automated seven-speed single-clutch transmission. Lamborghini plans to phase out the manual transmission option on the entry-level Gallardo, too, and we certainly don't expect to see it on its third model. Ferrari has also eliminated manual options in models like the 458 Italia and FF.

Chevy anticipates up to 50 percent of ZL1 buyers will opt for the automated transmission - about the same as percentage of US buyers that go PDK in the Porsche 911. The Camaro ZL1 Coupe will go on sale this spring as a 2012 model. On the other end of the gearbox, it features a 580-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine. The convertible version will hit the market this summer.

In addition to the ZL1, the automated manual transmission with upgraded TapShift will be an option on other cars like the 2012 Corvette. The video below shows the TapShift system in action on the ZL1.

SOS MOTOR

So what do you think? I always hear people say drive manual cuz more power and better control over performance. So now automatic tech advancing to make manual obsolete.

China woman marah you

kingster113 — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 19:52:34 +0800

and your friends were standing beside this brand new Mercedes (duno wat model, but the design is quite nice) and admiring the interiors, no touching or whatsoever.

Then comes a China woman (young student, about 20+) comes yelling rudely at you!

China-woman: 你们在我车干什么？！！！ (What you all doing near my car?!!!) <-- very loud yo.

So how would you react? And after that you got to know her father is some rich dude in China.

A Must Read if you're interested in Design

kingster113 — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:44:26 +0800

I dunno how many of us in this section of the forum come across Smashing Magazine. But it has one of the best written articles regarding the design industry. Anyone of you who's interested in the design field should keep it bookmarked as to me, a web-designer, totally helpful.

Well, the point of this thread was to introduce you guys to this article:

Web Design Criticism: A How-to

Even if you're not a web designer, you would benefit from reading this article. It's quite long, but each point made by the author is a definite help for designers over here. I'm sure many of you have come across countless times when you need to provide feedbacks regarding an artwork. But let's be realistic here, most of the time it's either we don't bother to spend full time reviewing it or we just simply (like the article calls it) gut out our reactions; like "cool", "damn nicee", "it sucks"... Which obviously doesn't help the artist at all.

Hope this benefits enthusiasts and artists around here.

*The part where he talks about the Facebook redesign is totally true. Confusing at first, efficient when you get used to it.

Anyone seen this or own it?

Could just pure use of electricity and no other form of burning fuel be used to propulse a vehicle? Or even a spaceship perhaps?

WTA Adobe PS CS3

I'm in need of a legitimate copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 itself only. Where can I get it? I'd been trying to look for it but could only find CS4. Price is not an issue.

Where to buy Adobe Photoshop CS3?

kingster113 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 04:19:06 +0800

Does anyone know where can I get Adobe Photoshop CS3 Retail version? I don't want CS4.

Do You?

kingster113 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:01:17 +0800

I'm very curious, does anyone of you, keep the gifts (whether they are hand-made gifts or bought gifts, as long they were precious to you during the relationship) from your ex(s)? I used to make hand-made stuffs for my ex gf, and she gets very excited when she gets one. Even now after we break up, my 2 previous exs still keep those artworks with them.
?
So the entire question is, why do you still keep them? And won't you actually think about all the sweet stuff and go sad when you look at the gifts? Guys and ladies, answers~ It doesn't really have to be hand-made gifts.

Intel's 1.73GHz Core i7-820 QM mobile CPU

kingster113 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:22:53 +0800

From Engadget:

QUOTE

The middle child of Intel's forthcoming new family of mobile performance parts, the i7-820 QM clocks in at 1.73GHz when things are relatively calm, or it can Turbo Boost its way up to an enviable 3.06GHz when your multitasking life demands it. The PC Pro crew have snatched one from Intel's presumably still warm hands, and have given it a benchmarking run to find out if it extends the Core i7 legacy of dominance into the mobile space. Their conclusion? "It's very, very fast." They couldn't avoid gushing about the dynamic overclocking and efficiency improvements relative to Intel's older generation of quad-core laptop procs, but battery life tests showed you'll still want to keep a power outlet nearby. Read link below should furnish you with more info, should you require it.

Need a PC Racing Wheel

kingster113 — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:11:08 +0800

I'm planning to buy a racing wheel fo myself. I need you guys to recommend me a reliable one. I don't need the high end models cuz I'm kind of low on budget; but it's still subjected to changes of the price deemed needed to be higher.

Budget, around RM300.

Force feedback is not neccesary. Just need something to get me playing racing games. I need the ones with pedals or whatever it should be called.
Thanks.
