Samsung N510 mini-notebook
Further news on the 11.6” Samsung N510 mini-notebook has been revealed today.
Netbook Choice has discovered there are more models of the Samsung N510. Not only is there the N510, but also a N508 and N510 model. No details on what specs they have though. I would guess a model without ION would be in there. Netbook Choice suggests a model with a smaller 10-inch display.
Netbook News Italia has discovered that the N510 will be using the ION LE chipset which is designed for Windows XP and DirectX 9. (The regular ION supports DirectX 10 and works with Vista/Windows 7)

ASUS Disney Netpal
Well Disney fans, you’ve waited patiently and now you shall be rewarded. Not with a Mickey Mouse branded gadget, but with the ability to pre-order the “Magic Blue” and “Princess Pink” Netpal netbooks. You’ve been waiting for two months after all.

Try to contain yourself until it arrives.

World Of Warcraft Themes Blackberry
World of Warcraft has a huge fanbase. The kinds of fans that are actually into tech as well. So it makes sense to have a World of Warcraft Today theme for the BlackBerry Curve. WoW fans can now get in-game graphics and icons on their communications devices, and probably helpful reminders about any guild raids they may have planned.
Just when you thought you could get a gamer out of the WoW universe for a few minutes, something like this comes along and pulls them back in. Sure, it’s not like you get to play on your iPhone, but the theme certainly gives BlackBerry that in game feel. Horde and Alliance themes can’t be far behind.

Applle Mac Folder
It’s like a Mac and a folder in one. The Mac Folder. Not all that different from any other laptop really, but you probably want Apple to make one very soon. The UI has been redesigned to work like the interfaces seen on the iPod Touch and iPhone.
You’ll also get a multi-touch screen and it’s uber thin. But what’s with those huge keyboard keys? They look big enough for grandma to use. After she calls you and asks you how that is.
So do you want one? Or pass?

Lg XCanvas home theater
The latest XCanvas home theater from LG looks pretty futuristic and is available in two different varieties. The HT964TZ (5.1ch) and HT564DG (2.1ch) come in the unique form of a glass of champagne with a red wine color.
Both models support only DVDs with LG’s state of the art upscaling technology. No price on these yet, but just look at them, they are sure to be an expensive non-Blu-ray option. Currently they are only available in Korea.
Why would they not support Blu-Ray? Oh well. I guess they just love them some DVDs.

Mercury skate
I have seen the future of skates and its name is Mercury. It’s finally skating weather for those of you who enjoy it, but all that vibration due to crappy roads and sidewalks takes away from the experience, doesn’t it?
Maybe designer Pouyan Mokhtarani will make it a more pleasant experience with these skates that look like they are still scorching hot due to arriving from the future. Springs and airbags in the shoes could make skating feel as smooth as ice skating. Judging by the looks of these skates, skating may even be like flying.
I can’t even skate and I want to wear them

Lego film projector
This tiny LEGO movie theater is awesome. It actually features a working, very tiny movie projector. The projector works at 24 fps, so it may not be good picture quality, but Lego minifigs have a different eyesight than you have. It’s nicely detailed. Even the seats are numbered. Make sure you check out the video below.
The builder, Ricardo M. Oliv, did an awesome job. Now all he needs is full length movies and he can sell tickets to other geeks who can sit their minifigs in the seats with a miniature popcorn and soda.

Glassy cell phone Concept
Tokyo-based designer Mac Funamizu is at it again. This time he has come up with a concept design for a phone that Wonder Woman would love to have in her invisible jet. The Glassy Glassy cell phone concept.
The entire phone is transparent until you turn it on. That’s when the screen and keypad light up so you can press the buttons accordingly. It’s sure to get lost easier and blend into its surroundings. Where the battery is, I have no idea. Hopefully, its stronger than glass.
And it will be a fingerprint magnet for sure.

Logitech Harmony 1100 universal remote control
I talked about the Logitech Harmony 1100 universal remote control back in February when we learned that the slick tablet style remote would sell for about $500. Today we are going to take a hands on look at the Harmony 1100 and see if the touchscreen beauty is worth all that cash. If you are in need of a universal remote for your complex home theater and those cheap, checkout line remotes can’t handle your gear, this may be just the product you need. Read on for all of the details on the Logitech Harmony 1100.
Features & Specifications
The Logitech Harmony 1100 is a rectangular remote with a 3.5-inch touchscreen and a backlit screen and keys. Dedicated keys for channel and volume along with other functions are integrated and the remote supports RF devices with an optional RF Extender. Power for the remote comes from a rechargeable lithium ion battery and a charge station is included. The Logitech Harmony 1100 can control up to 15 devices, including home automation gear and programs via a USB connection to your PC
.
In Use
The first thing most people notice about the Logitech Harmony 1100 is the price. At $499.99 MSRP, it is not cheap and is not something that the average person with a DVD player and a cable box will want to buy. The Logitech Harmony 1100 is a remote for the home theater and home automation enthusiast that needs a remote that is easy to program for lots of components and makes using a complex home theater easier — something the Logitech Harmony 1100 offers in spades.
Programming the remote is very easy and requires software to be installed on your computer and a USB connection to the computer. The software works with Windows and Mac computers. To program the remote all you need to know are the brand and model number of your components. You enter the brand name and model into the software and the software programs the remote for the device; you don’t have to enter any numerical codes.
Once you program your devices (up to 15 of them) into the Logitech Harmony 1100, the real beauty of the remote is ready to happen. Where the remote really pays you back for the hefty investment is in the activities that you can set up. Anyone with a home theater using multiple components that require several inputs to be changed on the TV, receiver, and cable box knows that while you might be able to run the system, your spouse or a visitor is hopelessly lost.
The activities set up of the 1100 lets you set up simply one-button macros to do everything for activities you would do with your home theater like watch TV, listen to music on the radio, listen to a CD, play a game and any other task your home theater will do. You go through an easy to follow set up process where the software asks you what components your activity uses, what inputs need to be used, and what components will control the volume. Once programmed all you (or a visitor) needs to do is point the remote at the home theater and press one button for the activity. The inputs will be changed automatically and in a short time, you are ready to do whatever you wanted without having to use more than one remote or change anything manually.
One thing you will quickly notice if your wife and kids are like mine is that they often stand right in front of my home theater while the remote is doing its thing. This results in the remote thinking that you are on the right input, but you may not be. This is easy to fix with a help button on the remote. You press it and the remote walks you through a set of questions that will find what exactly is wrong. Once you find the problem, for instance the TV is on the wrong input, you hit the button telling the remote that the input is wrong and it will change the inputs until the right one is selected then you press yes the problem is fixed and you are golden.
You may find that some of the functions for your components are not automatically installed on the Logitech Harmony 1100. This can be fixed easy enough if you have the stock remote thanks the ability for the 1100 to learn commands simply by aiming the stock remote at the 1100 and pressing the appropriate button.
The large touchscreen of the remote is customizable with icons for specific channels and a customizable layout. The rectangular form factor can take a bit of getting used to and thanks to most functions being controlled by touchscreen buttons you will always be looking at the remote when you are using it. Most users learn the placement of buttons on normal remotes and can operate components without looking at the remote, this won’t happen with the 1100.
Pros
* Looks cool
* Automates tasks common to your home theater
* Easy to program
Cons
* Expensive
Verdict
Overall, the Logitech Harmony 1100 is fantastic for users with complex home theaters and home automation gear. The remote is expensive, but it’s cheaper than most other remotes in the same capability class from other manufacturers. If you want an easy to use remote that makes using a complex home theater easy for the non-enthusiast, it’s easy to justify the asking price for the Harmony 1100.

nokia e97 concept phone
Sexy, slim and sleek. This concept Nokia E97 by Fabien Nauroy gives new meaning to those words. It’s full of incredible attention to detail. The concept has a full keyboard in the “AZERTY” layout, with a small LCD screen just above the keyboard.
The most interesting part is the pull-out LED screen that can operate as a storage device, and make file and picture sharing a bit retro to balance out the modern. The idea is that you pull out a picture or a webpage and pass it around the old fashioned way.

Mogo Mouse For Notebook
One of the things I dislike most about notebooks and especially netbooks is the track pad. Most netbooks have the track pad so close to the keyboard that I end up hitting the track pad with the palm of my hand while typing.
That means I like to have a notebook mouse with me at all times. One of the coolest mice for notebooks is the Mogo Mouse that stores in the PC Card slot. The catch for netbooks is that the little machines lack a PC Card slot.
Mogo has announced a new mouse for netbooks that includes a low profile holster to keep the mouse on the top of the netbook. The mouse is powered by a rechargeable battery good for up to 10 hours of use per charge. A full charge takes 30 minutes and the mouse uses Bluetooth to connect to the netbook.

I’m not a WOW player, but this PC case with WOW art on it looks pretty damn sweet, featuring some Orc artwork. The translations make it difficult to figure out, but this is either a retail case or a PC case mod that will cost you $299. If I was an uber WOW geek, I would snag this one up quick and brag to all of my guild mates about it. Then they would have no choice but to make me guild leader. One day it will happen. One day.

Sophisticated, Toyota Robot Can As Running Man
As is known, that the Asimo humanoid robot made by Honda last year, imposing a robot that has human-like behavior, such as walking and running. However, now a research conducted another not far from the development of robot Asimo.
After the Honda, Toyota now turn to make the perfect complement to the research level is very advanced robot that can even go to the game, beyond the ability robot Asimo Honda has ever made. Prototype humanoid robot made Toyota, is one of the partner robots that have been developed by a vendor of automotive giant, the body has a structure with high-130cm and weight 50kg. Meanwhile, for the foot robot has 7 degrees angle-free and can run at speeds average 7km/jam. While for the Honda Asimo can only be run with maximum speed 6km/jam.
Researchers from Toyota deliberately develop balance control method in real time for the newest robots. This method is believed Toyota can help provide balance when the external pressure, such as when people in a position to encourage, but for the robot is still in a slower speed.
In a video (youtube.com / watch? V = sv35ItWLBBk) demonstrated that Toyota, a robot can take a step every 340ms and not berkontak with the land for the next 100ms. Although the humanoid robot from Toyota's look interesting, but only limited ability berlarinya on a flat surface, and only handle the external pressure that is still slow. However, the Toyota will still be developing and refining the humanoid robot.

Review Asus ENGTX 275 by DetikInet
Asus ENGTX 275 is one of the graphics using the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) 200 GT is not the GTX 275. Asus membandrol price is higher if dibandingakan with other brands that use the GPU a similar, but with various features that accompany this product pantaskah the gamer?
Expensive price, performance?
Not without reason Asus determine their price graphics card a bit more expensive of the range graphics card similar, they try to make a quality product with above average products. Really so?
To prove it detikINET try a little play with the Asus ENGTX 275. From the body that are implied bongsor a graphics card that sangar. The use of PCB and the black fan leads with similar color display graphics card make this more 'sinister'.
Graphics card is our 'punishment' with the system based on Intel Core i7. Clearly seen that this graphics card enough to run all-out game, even in full HD resolution though, as another graphics card with a similar GPU. However, a series of tests done, that this product is performing slightly above the other brands.
Bongsor fan that is located on the back of the graphics card this seems sufficient to dispel the heat caused by the GPU. Moreover, users will benefit with the distinctive sound of the fan heningnya it.
Bonus
Indeed, the performance and the sales package offered by Asus can be said a little better than other brands, but whether the price is reasonable?
This is of course back to the user whether the advantages are quite reasonable with the amount of money that must be redeemed.
As consideration, the large number of differences obtained during the benchmark will not feel too when users are playing game indeed.
In the sales package, Asus provides a bonus game Warfighter Ghost Recon Andvance, S-Video cable, HDMI and DVI Dongle. CD and some other supporting applications.
For users who want to have it, must be willing fish in the pocket a little more. The membandrol ASUS graphics card in this price range with USD 305, the price that can be said is quite expensive for a graphics card based GTX 275.

Lenovo T400S
Lenovo ThinkPad complete range of families with the most throw model thin. Although berdesain slim, advanced laptop series T400, T400s, called a power which makes it not damaged if hit-or at diinjak though.
Azis Wonosari, Business Development & Technical Manager Lenovo India explains, it is because there is a kind of roll Cage aka robust framework that wrap this product.
In a video demo, held at the offices of Lenovo, in Wisma BNI 46, Jakarta, a worker trying to turn the laptop. And after 'torture' is this laptop still be switched back.
Here are 7 benefits of other resistance banting Lenovo laptop T400S:
1. Have a new keyboard design, with the 'escape' and 'delete' to be larger at the top.
2. Touchpad already support multi-touch. So if you want a live-image zoom finger the withdrawal the iPod Touch and iPhone.
3. Has two display ports.
4. While connectivity is 3 pieces, ranging from broadband which has been inject so that the user enter the live card, and have Wi-Fi and LAN.
5. Already using the LED display, so that the claimed low mercury.
6. 2 megapixel camera. This is the first ThinkPad using the 2 megapixel camera size.
7. 2 mikrophone have, on the right and left webcam, and reduce the noise dikatakanmampu alias noise.
View from the abilities, of the target market of T400s also not from the 'normal' but premium.
Asus Xonar D2X
If viewed in terms of sound quality and features offered, the sound card that has been integrated in a motherboard now this is good enough can be said. Instead of them may even have been issued messmate Dolby Digital sound.
But for those who 'care' about the quality of the sound, indeed mandatory to use a separate sound card. Moreover, for those who want to make it as a PC-entertainment center at home.
For that purpose, Asus has claimed one of the sound card is quite good quality. The name of this product is Asus Xonar D2X.
Impressed Mewah
Impressions from the nascent luxury packaging disertakannya. White-box-sized large enough in which sepaket containing equipment ranging from 4 pairs of RCA cables, MIDI, modular, to support various applications such as Cyberlink Power DVD and Cakewalk Studio.
This is not how, kemewahannya the detikINET feel when holding the sound card interface that is using the PCI-Ex 1X is. Black and attached in sekujur body, mixed with gold on each port to impress' luxury 'product.
Moreover, each port will be issued a different color when it is operated, the more value for the appearance. In addition, each a different color will help users when connecting the speakers to the sound card.
Yet Qualified Voters' Loyo '
If the ASUS Xonar D2X has a nice appearance is seen, then how about the sound quality?. Of course it is a main beam for a sound card, and it can be said ASUS Xonar D2X is able to make its users terlena boom in the beautiful music.
No wonder if the sound card is powerful enough to handle digital music files. Section, if more ditengok in fact use the ASUS Xonar D2X Audio Processing Unit (APU) Oxygen HD CMI8788 chip which is a powerful C-besutan media.
But whoa, the name C-Media indentik course with the onboard sound card. However, the chip can be ascertained that this is very much a quality as compared with variants onboard sound card anywhere.
Time to try it, detikINET use this card to play the saxophone wave song with Kenny G Forever in Love which sounded so beautiful and menghanyutkan, John Scofield begitupun vocal with the songs I Do not Need No Doctor.
But it is proportionate reversed when users listen to songs from the Rock band cadas Korn or Slipknot. Voters even seemed that the 'loyo' and less' nendang '.
Okay, for music files, Xonar is said to be able to stroke in users. But how the performance to watch Content High-Definition (HD) or play games?
To optimize accordingly, detikINET use a 5.1 speaker support Dolby Digital as the output pair ASUS Xonar D2X. Result, the sound card is powerful enough to play HD content atapun game.
However, to get the optimal sound settings a bit if needed users to use the RCA cable output. The problem is, the initial (default) with the RCA cable akan impressed 'bury' the bass sound produced.
As a result, the default application settings via this card is to be done to 'lift' the bass boom. However, if the optical cables that do not need to be done.
Overall, the price of around USD 175, ASUS Xonar D2X can be said to be able to change the computer into an entertainment center which is quite adequate. Of course, it also needs to be offset by the device that supports the speaker.

LCD ASUS LS221H
ASUS LS221H
ASUS does not spare superlative epithets in the description of this monitor and also points at specific advantages of the LS221H over the competition. These refer to its exterior design mostly: it claims to be the world’s slimmest 22-inch monitor and has a glossy black case, a leather-trimmed front panel and a protective sheet of glass. Sounds appealing, but let’s see what this monitor really is.
Specification
The monitor is based on a 22-inch TN matrix with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a native resolution of 1680x1050 pixels. That’s all quite normal for a modern LCD monitor. The viewing angles are specified to be 170 and 160 degrees wide horizontally and vertically, respectively. But you should keep it in mind that they are measured according to a relaxed method. Therefore, 170 degrees of a specified viewing angle are going to look quite different on IPS and TN matrixes, for example.
The manufacturer declares two contrast ratios for this monitor. The static one is 1000:1 and the dynamic one is 4000:1. The static contrast ratio refers to the monitor’s ordinary operation mode whereas the dynamic contrast ratio refers to a special mode in which the brightness of the backlight lamps is being adjusted automatically depending on the currently displayed visual content. The latter mode is meant and suitable only for movies. Certain manufacturers declare only the bigger number of the two in their product specs, which is somewhat misleading.
The LS221H has a specified response time of 2 milliseconds (GtG) which means that it has a fast matrix with response time compensation. The RTC technology has one downside, though. It may provoke specific visual artifacts that show up as white trails behind moving objects. You will see below if these artifacts are strong on the LS221H.
Design and Ergonomics
In my opinion, the leather trim and the black lacquer surface are by far not the most remarkable feature of the monitor’s exterior. In nearly every other monitor the LCD matrix is sunken into the front panel of the case, the plastic bezel being 2-3 millimeters above the surface of the screen. In the LS221H the protective glass covers not just the screen but the entire front panel. The LCD matrix is pressed tight to it from the inside, creating an impression that the screen is flush with the surface of the monitor’s case. Although not very conspicuous from a distance, this effect looks original and beautiful when you are close, making the monitor even slimmer visually than it really is.
ASUS says the glass has a Mohs hardness of 9. The Mohs scale goes from talc (hardness of 1) through diamond (hardness of 10) and characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. The hardness of 9 corresponds to corundum (also known as ruby or sapphire). If calculated in absolute values, corundum is twice as hard as topaz (8) but diamond (10) is four times as hard as corundum. For comparison, ordinary glass has a Mohs hardness of about 5, and the protective glass of the LS221H is eight times as hard as it.
I did not try to scratch my sample, but according to ASUS, this monitor will resist steel (a Mohs hardness of 7) and sandpaper (8). I guess parents of little children are going to appreciate this feature.
The monitor’s exterior is restrained but not boring. The design of the protective glass leaves a very nice impression. Then, ASUS’s designers have done a good job with the chrome elements. The horizontal silvery strip does not irritate your eye with too much glitter but also prevents the front panel from being a dull black smudge. The monitor is indeed trimmed with brown leather below the chrome strip. Although it is advertised as one of the key features in the LS221H design, it is not much impressive – just different from other monitors in color and texture. You cannot even tell that it is leather rather than just quality plastic from a distance of 1 meter and more.
I guess the biggest spoiling elements in the design of this product are the shiny stickers under the buttons and in the top left corner. They do not agree with the premium status of the LS221H (a good thing must be an advertisement in and of itself without any stickers) but you can easily tear them off.
To sum up, this monitor is meant for people who prefer an exterior design that is stern, original, and not too fanciful.
The monitor is indeed slim, although I wouldn’t bet that it is the slimmest model in the world. At least it does not make some special impression when viewed in profile.
The stand allows to adjust the tilt of the screen only.
The back panel of the case is empty save for the ASUS logo. The connectors are integrated into the stand, making it non-detachable. However, you can wall-mount the monitor by folding its stand parallel to the screen and attaching a VESA-compatible mount to the stand’s bottom.The ring-shaped stand has multicolored integrated LEDs that are shining when the monitor is turned on. Their color depends on the currently selected Splendid mode. This highlighting is not too bright but has no practical value, either. You can turn it off in the monitor’s menu.

About Nehalem Microarchitecture?
Alternating new manufacturing process with the development of new microarchitectures allowed Intel to avoid delays with new processor launches. That is why a year from the announcement of Penryn processors we are ready to talk about processor innovations again: the launch of CPUs with Nehalem microarchitecture is getting closer day by day.
Taking into account how important this event actually is, we decided to split our review of this long-anticipated solution into several parts. Today we are going to talk about the technological and architectural peculiarities of Nehalem microarchitecture and in a few days we will offer you analysis of Nehalem performance in real applications and discussion of its other practical features.
General Principles of Nehalem Microarchitecture
Before we get acquainted with a promising Nehalem microarchitecture, we would like to say a few words about the reasons for its arrival. Although they have been working on it for a long time, Intel hardly intended to announce CPUs based on it only for the sake of sticking to their own “Tick-Tock” schedule. It seems that even though Core microarchitecture has been extremely successful, there is something about it that doesn’t quite satisfy the microprocessor giant any more. And these reasons are not superficial. Core processors have a lot of advantages, sell very well and are way ahead of the competitor’s solutions.
It turns out that a serious drawback of Core microarchitecture that makes Intel very unhappy is their non-modular design. Being a continuation of the mobile Pentium M CPUs, Core 2 microprocessors were initially designed as dual-core semiconductor dies. When they started making multi-core Core 2 and Xeon solutions later on, they discovered several drawbacks of this approach. Quad-core and recently released 6-core processors on Core microarchitecture were simply composed or several dual-core dies that had difficulties communicating with one another. Separate cores exchanged data through system memory, which resulted in serious delays caused by limited processor bus bandwidth.
Another bottleneck surfaced in multi-processor systems. Although Intel had already solved the problem of sharing the system bus between processors by launching new chipsets providing an individual bus to each processor, the performance of these systems would often be limited by insufficient memory bus bandwidth. We could see this problem even in Skulltrail platform targeted for computer enthusiasts, not to mention high-performance workstations and servers.
In other words, increasing the systems performance by adding more processor cores to CPUs and more processors to the systems would have sooner or later brought Intel to a dead end, despite the fact that contemporary Core microarchitecture seemed very successful overall. That is why Intel is working real hard to switch to new Nehalem microarchitecture that solved the above described structural problems in the first place. Nehalem’s key peculiarities that immediately catch your eye are integrated memory controller and new bus with point-to-point topology called Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) that not only connects the processor with the chipset but also connects directly several CPUs with one another.
All these innovations remind us of the AMD processors’ structure: a few years ago AMD discovered the advantages of integrating the memory controller into the CPU and connecting the CPUs with one another in multi-processor systems. However, even though Intel is currently the one catching up, Intel CPU cores have been offering higher performance since the launch of Core microarchitecture.
Nehalem’s second important innovation is the modular CPU design. In fact, the actual microarchitecture consists only of a few building blocks that will be used to form a processor at the final design and production stage. This set of building blocks includes a processor core with an L2 cache, L3 cache, QPI bus controller, memory controller, graphics core, etc.
The appropriate blocks will be put together within a single semiconductor die and presented as a solution for this or that market segment. For example, the Bloomfield CPU we are going to discuss fairly soon consists of four cores, an L3 cache, a memory controller and one QPI bus controller.
Server processors with the same microarchitecture that should be announced in early 2009 will have up to eight cores, up to four QPI bus controllers for multi-processor systems, L3 cache and a memory controller. The upcoming budget Nehalem processors scheduled to come out in H2 2009 will have two cores, a memory controller, a graphics core and DMI bus controller connecting the processor directly to the South Bridge. These are far not the only possible modifications. We referred to them to illustrate how flexible Nehalem microarchitecture is.
New principles in platform and processor design are certainly a significant but far not the only innovation arriving with the new Intel microarchitecture. A lot of changes have been made to the main part of a CPU: its computational core. Although Nehalem processor cores may be regarded only as enhanced cores with Core microarchitecture, they still support a lot of new technologies and boast numerous improvements. They provide Nehalem processors with higher “pure” performance. Among important innovations we should mention SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading), which is similar to Hyper-Threading technology that allows processing two computational threads simultaneously in a single core. We should also point out support of new SSE4.2 instructions, more efficient branch prediction algorithms, larger internal buffers, more efficient and faster cache-memory.
Summing up everything we have just said, let’s once again list the major distinguishing features of the new CPUs from Nehalem family:
* Two, four or eight cores;
* More advanced computational cores than those of Core based processors;
* SMT technology that allows processing two computational threads simultaneously in a single core;
* Three levels of cache-memory: 64KB L1 cache per core, 256KB L2 cache per core, up to 24MB shared L3 cache;
* Integrated memory controller supporting several DDR3 SDRAM channels;
* Monolithic design: the CPU consists of a single semiconductor die;
* 45nm production process;
* Possibility to integrated a graphics core into the CPU;
* New QPI bus with point-to-point topology connecting the processor with the chipset or the processors with one another;
* Modular structure.
Now that we have briefly discussed the general concept of the new microarchitecture, let’s take a closer look at the individual parts of the CPU based on it.
