AAXA Technologies Inc, a global leader in pico projection technology has unveiled the updated version of the brightest battery-powered pico projector on the market. The P4-X now includes a mini-HDMI digital input allowing high-definition digital video and audio sources to be connected. The portable mini-device now packs more functionality than before while still maintaining the diminutive form factor that enables the P4-X to fit comfortably in a pocket. The heart of the P4-X is the high-brightness optical engine incorporating 15,000 hour LEDs, Texas Instrument’s DLP technology and AAXA’s Vibrant-Color technology. The P4-X’s high-brightness optical engine is capable of delivering 80 lumens in DC power mode and 60 lumens in battery mode – almost double the battery brightness of most pico projectors. Operating time is 75 minutes on a built-in lithium ion battery or unlimited when plugged into a wall outlet.

J:  What made you want to defect?

P: I wanted to fulfill the things I dreamt of. Also, I wanted to make my family happy by working in business in China.

J: How did you defect? What route did you take? How long did it take you? Who helped you? How much did bribes cost? Did you use technology (ex. cell phones, internet, walkie talkies, satellite phones)?

P: In the summer of 1997, I walked 50km from my home to a border city of China and North Korea. I spent the night there and I swam across the border the next day around 2 PM. It took me about 10 minutes to cross the border and from there, I walked to the city of Hwaryong in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. I stayed up until 10:00 a.m. the next morning without sleep or rest. On my way there, I hid on the side of the road

Good decision. The harder choice, however, is which one do you buy? There’s a near-infinite number of boxes that will plug into your TV and stream Netflix — including some you might already own. Making matters even more difficult, most of the options are very similar at first blush. Prices have come down to the point that most set-top boxes are extremely affordable, so you now have to choose based on what you want to watch, and what you want to do with your box.

If you want to watch Netflix, the world is your

What Perian Does — Described by its developers as a Swiss Army knife of video playback, Perian has long been among the first pieces of software I install on a new Mac. Out of the box, a Mac can play video through Apple’s QuickTime Player, which handles .mov, .m4v, and .mp4 files quite happily. Unfortunately, QuickTime Player throws its hands up in despair when asked to play .avi and .mkv files, which are common on the Internet, not to mention a host of more unusual formats.

This is where Perian comes — or, rather, came — in. Installed as a preference pane, Perian offers little in the way of configurable options. Instead, it simply operates in the background, quietly and transparently enabling QuickTime
