Software - Power Point Tips

Are you puzzled when using PowerPoint sometimes? In this article, I will list some small PowerPoint tips. Maybe they are all common, but practical ones. Hope these tips will make you convenient in your work and life.

1. How to Resize Pictures

You can size pictures in PowerPoint by clicking the picture with the mouse and dragging it to a new size. If you don't want to "stretch" the picture (keeping the horizontal aspect ratio the same) but enlarge it, hold the Crtl key when changing the size. You can also click the corner of the picture and enlarge it and the aspect ratio will remain the same.

2. How to Use Scanned Photos in PowerPoint

In Microsoft PowerPoint, you may want to add your own scanned photos into a slide to spice up your presentation. But very large pictures can slow down you slide show when they start to load. Even if a picture takes only a few seconds to load, it can throw off your entire presentation, as well as your timing. Recommend using smaller sized photos to help your slide show run exactly how it should.

3. How to Use Graphics with Text Efficiently

While working in Microsoft PowerPoint, you may decide to use text over graphics. This can either make or break your presentation, depending on how well you select your font and color. When working with text and a full color, it can be very difficult to pick the right color and font style. However, when working with a picture that only contains a few colors, text on top of it can spice up the slide�s appearance.

4. How to Record a Narration in PowerPoint

You can record a narration into a PowerPoint slide easily. Do this:
* Go to the Slide you wish to add a narration to.
* From the Insert menu select Movies and Sounds.
* Click Record Sounds.
* When ready, click the Record button (the red circle).
* When finished recording, click the black Stop button.
* Click OK.

5. How to Add a Background Sound to a PowerPoint Slide

To add a background sound to a PowerPoint slide, follow this:
* Open the Insert menu.
* Select Movies and Sounds.
* Click Play CD Audio Track.

6. When Using AVI files with Presentations

Using an AVI file with a presentation may spice it up, but it can also ruin it. Make sure to keep your AVI file normal size. A movie playing that is viewed too big will not have anywhere near the quality that a smaller viewed movie will.

7. How to Convert Your PowerPoint to DVD

You can use Windows Movie Maker, but you may not be able to keep the animations and sounds in your presentation. Another choice is to use a professional tool to help you do this easily. Here I recommend the Wondershare PPT2DVD. With a high conversion quality, you can do it easily.

Some great videos have been put online parodying Microsoft’s “Windows 7 was my idea” adverts from last year. The videos feature a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader and Chewbacca. The videos are very professionally made with excellent costumes and a very effective green-screen process. When Microsoft launched Windows 7 they wanted to make it known.

Gadget - World's Most Expensive Camera

When you hear the phrase “most expensive camera in the world,” you probably imagine a super high-tech digital camera—maybe one used by NASA to take pictures of Mars or the moon or some cool camera capable of going underwater to extreme depths.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
The first cameras used the daguerreotype process, pioneered by Jacques Mande Daguerre, to form images. A daguerreotype image is achieved by producing a direct image onto a polished silver surface. Unfortunately, a daguerreotypist couldn’t produce copies by means other than daguerreotyping the original and the process was obsolete within a decade.

1839 Susse Freres daguerreotype camera
In May 2007, a daguerreotype camera dating back to 1839 became the world’s most expensive camera when it sold at auction for €576,000—about US $775,000 at the time. The camera, designed by Frenchman Susse Freres, was housed in a sliding wooden box frame and was also believed to be the oldest commercially manufactured camera in the world, heightening its appeal to collectors.
In May 2010, another daguerreotype camera will go under the hammer and possibly become the most expensive camera in the world. Undocumented since 1839, this camera was built by Alphonse Giroux, brother-in-law to Daguerre, which may make it the oldest camera ever built. It was even signed by Dagguere, which can only increase its value to enthusiasts.

1839 Alphonse Giroux daguerreotype camera
The Camera will be on sale at the WestLicht Auction in Vienna—the same auction that sold the Susse Freres daguerreotype in 2007—where bidding will open at €200,000. It is expected to fetch between €500,000 and €700,000—that’s upwards of US $978,000.

World Most Expensive Product: Intel Atom Z670 to Tablets

I do not believe are numerous doubts approximately the success of the tablets on the market, But yet a set of pie to be distributed and all applicable stakeholders, from hardware producers to makers of operating systems, are conscious of it. Bets Google and Apple are clearly the winning horses, but we must not forget that Microsoft is planning his way. The Redmond, as is traditional in operating systems, betting in the initial instance by X86 architecture, hand in hand Intel.



Intel readies its newest gadgets accessories development with in the family Atom known as intel oak trail with the internal title Z670 for higher performance model. It is comes with the cost tag at $ 75. This cost signifies a worth greater than the prior Atoms, and more costly than other alternatives “Intel does not.” The most significant comparison we can build the most extended chipset in the market for tablets: Nvidia Tegra 2.






The prominent dual-core based ARM Cortex-A9 is priced approximately $20 for producers, and balance power/autonomy is complicated to defeat for the Intel options. In short, three times more costly, So we believe Intel actually wants to lot the new processor prices to be competitive in the market, memorize that the hand of Windows 7, also involves the payment of license.

If we deem that in addition we have Nvidia Texas Instruments and Qualcomm welcoming the rest of tablets on the market, Intel space is shrinking, not to mention Nvidia’s intentions with Project Kal-ElWith four cores before year’s end. The most famous qualities of the Intel Atom Z670 are its 1.66GHz, 512KB of cache and a thermal design power 5W TDP so guys what you think about new pc gadgets accessories?

Intel oak trail is not merely the hardware that is emerging as perfect for use tablets and netbooks Windows 7 operating system, also referred to products Meegan they have to go to market. We remind you that Intel is also developing Medfield, A platform-oriented smartphones. Besides Meegan in version 1.2 we anticipate that in the future shall sustain Google’s operating system in its recent versions, as they are turning to Intel processors. This is world most expensive product.

What is extraordinary is that this leak had been reported formerly that the cost would be near to $ 25, A very competitive cost for a chipset based on x86 architecture, low power consumption. For with the use of Meegan, an operating system which does not have to pay license could put affordable products on the market. It looks that the last accounts shall go somewhat higher.
