This is what ebook readers should have been years ago (Sony tried with the PRS-700 but it didn't catch on back then). It makes it so you can easily and comfortably read in any lighting conditions from direct sunlight to the dark of night. There's no question the frontlight is nice addition to the Kobo ereader. It could stand to have a slightly lower minimum brightness setting, though. The lighting appears mostly white in tone and is noticeably brighter than the Kindle Paperwhite and Nook Glow at the highest and lowest brightness settings. The brightness of the light is adjustable with an on-screen slider bar, and unlike the Kindle Paperwhite, the frontlight can be turned off completely by pressing a button along the top edge of the device. Kobo tries to hide the shadows with a black bar on screen, but there's an option in settings to turn the black bar off and I think it looks better without it because the shadows are hardly noticeable. The screen is a tad brighter at the top and there's a subtle line of shadows at the bottom of the screen. It doesn't have the large shadowy areas like the Nook Glow and there's no weird discolorations like with the Kindle Paperwhite. But it is the most evenly lit frontlight ebook reader I've seen. Like other frontlight E Ink ebook readers, the Kobo Glo's lighting isn't perfectly uniform over the entire screen, especially when compared to something like a tablet. The Kobo Glo uses the same technology as the Kindle Paperwhite and GlowLight Nook Touch with small LED lights built into the frame and a light layer over the screen to distribute the light. The FrontlightĢ012 is the year of the frontlight ereader so it's not surprising to see Kobo release a frontlight-equipped ebook reader of their own. It's not like it's as fast as a tablet of anything, but when you are used to the slower 800 MHz processor it's a noticeable improvement. Kobo decided to use a faster 1Ghz processor with the Kobo Glo and that was a good choice because it provides a noticeable speed boost over the Kobo Touch and Kobo Mini. It must have something to do with the layer used for the frontlight. Head-on you can't really notice it, but side-by-side the Kindle's screen is sharper and clearer. Speaking of dingy, the screen has sort of a rough and dirty appearance when viewed at an angle, whereas the Kindle Paperwhite looks really clear. And instead easily wiping away with a cloth they mostly just spread around and make it look dingy. The only problem with it is it shows smudges. Like Kobo's other ereaders, the Kobo Glo is covered in a soft texture front and back that feels rather pleasant to the touch. If anything the text looks a little darker without the frontlight layer. For instance, the Sony PRS-T2 with the standard E Ink screen is just as easy to read. Text is a little sharper and clearer, especially smaller text, but the high resolution screen certainly doesn't give enough of a reason to be a deciding factor over another device. The high resolution screen is a nice upgrade, but in all honesty the difference is hardly noticeable in real life. The memory is still the same too at 2GB, and there's a microSD card slot for cards up to 32GB. It still uses an infrared touchscreen and doesn't have any physical page turning buttons. The Kobo Glo brings some upgrades over the Touch, including the frontlight, a new higher resolution 1024 x 758 E Ink Pearl screen, and a faster processor. Price: $129 at Powell's Books, Indigo, WHSmith Kobo Glo Video Review Overall, the Kobo Glo has some annoying quirks and a few deficiencies, but it's still one of the better choices for a dedicated ebook reader. The high-resolution screen and better frontlight beats out the GlowLight Nook Touch too. It doesn't have quite the ease of use as the Kindle Paperwhite, nor some of the advanced features, but it has a lot more font settings, a more uniform frontlight, no annoying advertisements, and it supports Adobe ePub for ebooks from a variety of sources, making it a solid alternative to the Kindle. The Kobo Glo is the sleeper pick of the year. Frontlit ereaders tend to have slightly grayer text than non-frontlight ebook readers and subtle shadows near the LED lights-the Kobo Glo is no exception.No landscape mode for ebooks (PDFs have it).Lots of wasted space when reading, needs option for fullscreen mode and removal of spaces between paragraphs.Kobo's overall approach still isn't nearly as polished and streamlined as Amazon with the Kindle Kobo isn't as easy to deal with and learn for newbies and non-techies.Noticeable speed boost with the 1 GHz processor.It feels well-built and comfortable to hold.

Also, as part of a 2022 legal settlement, Intuit agreed to send out $141 million in refunds to customers who were tricked into paying in years past.ĭespite this, TurboTax remains hugely popular - it’s an annual go-to for millions of taxpayers and even produces viral commercials. The announcement came after a 2019 ProPublica investigation that found Intuit coded its Free File page so it was hidden from Google search results. In 2021, the tax preparation software company discontinued its participation in the IRS Free File program, a partnership between the government and various tax filing services giving eligible taxpayers the ability to prepare and submit their federal tax returns at no cost.Īt the time, TurboTax’s parent company, Intuit, cited limitations and “conflicting demands from those outside the program” that led it to withdraw from IRS Free File. Tax season is upon us, which means millions of Americans will once again flock to TurboTax to file - and doing so will come at a cost for many of those taxpayers. The company has 50 employees as of September 2021. Australia's quantum technology is projected to generate more than $4 billion in revenues and 16,000 new jobs by 2040, as per the report. The quantum communications and cybersecurity market is expected to account for about $16 billion globally. The company will implement a planned geographic and sectoral expansion strategy as the world starts to reopen around 2022, he mentioned.Īustralia's national science agency CSIRO recently released a report on Australia's quantum industry in which it forecasts an $86 billion global market size in the quantum industry by 2040. QuintessenceLabs deferred its growth plans to 12-15 months due to the uncertainty caused by a global pandemic, Sharma said. In parallel, QuintessenceLabs is developing partnerships in Japan and India, Sharma noted. that is also an ideal location for its EMEA headquarters, Sharma said, adding that it is in discussions with several U.K. In the first half of next year, QuintessenceLabs plans to set up an office in the U.K. is the second-largest cybersecurity market and somewhat similar to Australia in terms of market dynamics, legal systems and business culture, according to Sharma. over the next two to three years, Sharma said. is by far the largest cybersecurity market, QuintessenceLabs will continue to grow its team in the U.S. in 2013 with an initial team of three people to make a more significant commitment to the U.S.Īs the U.S. The Australia-headquartered company opened an office in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, focused on strengthening data protection across participating agencies, Sharma told TechCrunch. In the last year, one of its significant achievements was making the approved products list for a $2 billion program run by the U.S. The company sells its product to global corporations, Sharma said. "We have spent more than a decade getting the technology right and preparing for commercial adoption," Sharma said. The market for this type of technology was small when QuintessenceLabs started in 2008, and it took time to mature and bring it to a commercial level, he said. QuintessenceLabs uses quantum physics to build data security tools and has developed qStream, a quantum random number generator (QRNG) that provides encryption keys with full entropy, which means they are truly random, Sharma explained. QuintessenceLabs will use the Series B funding to expand its customer base, including private and public organizations in financial services, cloud providers, government agencies and defense sectors globally, CEO and founder of QuintessenceLabs Vikram Sharma told TechCrunch. The latest funding was led by Main Sequence and TELUS Ventures, with participation from Mizuho Financial Group-backed InterValley Ventures and Capital Property Group. The startup has now raised $25 million in a Series B round to enhance its security in quantum solutions. T o increase data security, Canberra, Australia-based quantum cybersecurity solution provider QuintessenceLabs safeguards sensitive data through its quantum random number generators and advanced data access control software. As computing power increases exponentially, the ability to secure our data against brute force and other types of attacks gets more complicated, with the scale and sophistication of cyberattacks continuing to challenge companies' ability to implement effective data access control and encryption. The ‘radical persuasion’ of ‘The Feminist Mystique’ provided a new vocabulary for second-wave feminism and women’s liberation, as it spoke to housewives who felt ‘trapped’ within their suburban domestic spheres. Through the examples of the anti-feminist movement, opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment, and the governmental disregard for two reports that explored the subordinate position of women: ‘American Women’ and ‘A Simple Matter of Justice’, this essay will demonstrate that ‘traditional’, patriarchal attitudes persisted far beyond the 1960s, into the 1980s.ġ963 was a particularly significant year in the context of the US women’s rights movement as it saw the publication of Betty Friedan’s seminal work ‘The Feminine Mystique’. Focusing primarily on the 15 years that immediately followed the 1960s, this essay will argue that whilst the WRM had a profound impact upon the way in which many women both understood and valued themselves as members of society beyond the domestic realm, the extent to which it ‘changed’ attitudes across the United States must not be overstated. However, to truly determine the extent to which the women’s rights movement of the 1960s ‘changed’ attitudes as such, we must look beyond the decade in question. As argued by Nusbaum, for the first time, women in vast numbers ‘looked critically’ at the subordination that they had suffered for so many years, and through a vast array of tactics, they began to fight back. Moreover, it was in this political climate that the women’s rights movement gained huge momentum. The occasion of an escalated civil rights struggle, the war in Vietnam and the sexual revolution provide a few examples that are responsible for the omnipresence of social atavism at this time. Green puts forward that 1960 ‘kickstarted’ a decade that ‘uniquely lends itself to study as a self-contained entity’. Furthermore, when studying this era, we must understand that the sixties were one of the most ‘colourful, complex and eventful periods in American History’. One only has to observe Kennedy’s nationally televised, 1962 proclamation that ‘the primary responsibility of women’ is ‘in the home’ to understand that such discriminatory legislation was endorsed by high politics, and thus influenced the contemporary attitudes of many in the US into the 1960s. Of course, the experience of women in the post-war era was inevitably multifaceted, yet regardless of race or social class, according to the constitution in 1960 men and women were not equal. As put forward by Bird and Green, ‘fifties trends’ of ‘white flight’ suburbanization, the ‘cult’ of motherhood underlying the baby boom and the patriarchal expectation that women were pre-destined to become ‘homemakers’ persisted at the close of the 1950s. In assessing the impact of the Women’s Rights Movement (WRM) of the 1960s on attitudes towards women, it is necessary to acknowledge the social position of American women at the beginning of the 1960s.

It is only added the moment the carrier gas leaves the column. Detection in GC remains unique in analytical chemistry because of the large number of customized detectors. But using it effectively means understanding the tradeoffs between selectivity, ease of use, and sensitivity. In other words: make-up gas does not play a role in the chromatographic process in the column. The electron capture detector (ECD) for GC is still used relatively unmodified today. In this particular case the function of the make-up gas is not to provide more gas but to improve the detector ionisation yield. An electron capture detector ( ECD) is a device for detecting atoms and molecules in a gas through the attachment of electrons via electron capture ionization. If helium is preferred as carrier gas for the column, simply using a make-up gas such as nitrogen or argon/methane will generate the expected detector sensitivity. Today, nitrogen (cheaper and universal) is often used as make-up gas for an ECD instead of the more specific argon/methane. Science Astronomy and Astrophysics (AP) Biochemistry (BC) Ecological Sciences (ES) High Energy Physics (HE) Inorganic and Physical Chemistry (IP). Methane reduces the electron energy by collision without ionizing the methane and avoids interference effects such as component ionization. For this reason some percentage of methane (5%) is added to the make-up gas argon (the most sensitive gas for an ECD regarding its ionizing capability). This can be achieved by introducing an inert gas into the ECD cell that collides with the rapid electrons and in that way slowing them down. Abstract: The objective of this thesis is to expand the utility of the photodetachment-modulated electron capture detector (PDM-ECD) for the study of gas-phase. The electrons emitted by the radioactive foil move too fast to be captured by the analyte molecules. This explains why the (linear) dynamic range of the ECD is often limited.Īctually, the mechanism of operation of the ECD is slightly more complex. Since it concerns very small holes, the background current should not be too high. This change in the background current is registered as 'holes' in the background. When there are electro-negative components present in the carrier gas, the background current is reduced because these components capture electrons. A current is produced between two electrodes in the detector supplied with a potential difference and this is monitored as a continuous background current. The electron capture detector (ECD) is a selective detector for electro-negative compounds, especially halogens.Ī (beta-ray) radio active source which can ionize the carrier gas is located in the detector. The compatibility of other third-party NTFS for Mac software has been found to be waiting. iBoysoft NTFS for Mac software has been critically examined by reviewers and shown to be completely 100% compatible with the new macOS Big Sur and Macs processed by M1 chip. This means that you are left with just a few options when it comes to choosing NTFS for Mac Big Sur software, which allows you to seamlessly read and write NTFS files on your Mac. However, with the Big Sur, not every NTFS for Mac software has been shown to perform. The simplest way, one that is chosen by several thousand Apple users the world over is using a credible third-party NTFS for Mac Software. List of 3 Ways you Write NTFS Files in macOS Big Sur The thing you need to know is that if you have an external hard drive, which is in the NTFS file format, you cannot use it interchangeably on your Windows and Apple systems simultaneously. The same would also have been inconsistent with Apple’s philosophy of promoting cross-platform functionalities. NTFS or New File Technology System is proprietary software owned by Microsoft.įrom 1993, it has been the chosen file system for maintaining, reading, and editing data on external hard drives, pen drives, and memory cards.įor Apple to start using the same in the new macOS Big Sur would mean paying a hefty license fee to Microsoft. On news MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or Mac mini with Apple silicon M1 chip, some people even can't see their NTFS files on Mac even though NTFS drive can be opened. You still get the same read-option, but no writing is allowed. The same has been carried forward to the new macOS 11, Big Sur. While the macOS allowed for reading the files, any editions, renaming, deleting of files was not allowed. Older Apple macOS users will attest to the fact that you cannot write NTFS files on your systems. Why You Cannot Read-Write NTFS Files to MacOS Big Sur? In this article, we are going to help users to enable NTFS Read-Write Support in macOS Big Sur. However, one thing, which still has evaded users of macOS Big Sur is the non-compatibility with NTFS Files. The macOS 11 Big Sur will also be available for older MacBook Air and Pro who have the Intel Chips. Together with the at-home developed new M1 Chip, it promises to set performance and efficiency benchmarks. It promised a great interactive and engaging experience for users. The new and improved macOS 11, has been released under the Big Sur name. The older macOS seemed dated and did not provide a user experience similar to the ones on iOS.Īpple took note of the demand and released what is its biggest update for over 20 years! For a very long time, Apple users had been requesting the developers for an update to the macOS. |
