Tech List

2010 seems to have brought about a variety of improved technologies. Take for example the smartphones. Here is list of the major ones on the market:

• Sprint HTC EVO 4G
  
• Verizon HTC Droid Incredible
  
• Google Nexus One
  
• Orange Nokia N8
  
• T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
  
• T-Mobile HTC HD2 Windows Mobile device
  
• Verizon Palm Pre Plus
  
• Apple iPhone 3GS
  
• Motorola Droid from Verizon
  
• RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700
• Samsung Epic 4G
  

Each smartphone has their good and bad sales points. Overall these smartphones will be the most remembered in my opinion.

TVs have also gotten extremely thin, slick, 3D, High Definition, and fun ports on the sides of them. Here is a small list of the best TVs in my opinion:

• Samsung C8000 series
  
• Panasonic TC-PVT20/25 series
  
• LG PX950 series
  
• Vizio XVT3SV series
  
• LG LX9500 series
  
• LG LE8500 series
  
• Sony XBR-HX909 series

Some of the Tvs are plasma, LED, LCD, and HDTV. They all have their ups and down, but a far cry from bulky TVs systems.

Desktop computers are becoming more powerful than ever. Here is a small list of the best in my opinion:

• HP TouchSmart 310
  
• Origin Genesis
  
• Maingear Shift Gaming Desktop PC
• Dell Studio Slim
• eMachines ET1161-03
• Gateway DX-4200-11
• HP Compaq 6005 Pro Small Form Factor PC
• Lenovo IdeaCentre K220
• Micro Express MicroFlex 82B

It seems like RAM GBs are going up, high quality video and audio, and an assortment of external ports to use. I still remember as a kid waiting for minutes for the desktop computer with Windows 95 to start up. Now with new technology it is mere seconds (well at least for Windows 7).

It seems this is the beginning of the Tablet PCs, but only two come to mind for me. The Ipad and the Samsung's Galaxy Tab.

SQL

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. This hidden computer language is what makes Microsoft Access work. Database Administrators use this language everyday they work with SQL Server. SQL can manipulate anything in computer databases.

If you have Microsoft Access, you can see it in the view tab. One of the options is SQL, and in that view you can see the basics of SQL data manipulation. (Note this is when you create a Query).
