The Most Common Touch Screen Technologies

Andrew Pakula — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:57:30 +0000

One of the most common questions we receive with regards to touchscreens is which technology is best? Well it really depends on the application so here is the skinny on the main touch technologies available from Stealth Computer.

The four most common touch screen technologies include resistive, infrared, capacitive and SAW (surface acoustic wave). Each technology offers its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Resistive and capacitive touch screen technologies are the most popular for industrial applications. They are both very reliable. If the application requires that operators can wear gloves when using the touch screen, then we generally recommend the resistive technology (capacitive doesn’t support). Otherwise the capacitive technology (better optical characteristics) is more often recommended.

Stealth.com continues to offer Windows XP Pro

StealthWarrior — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:29:34 +0000

Many of the tier one PC manufacturers and retail outlets will be discontinuing their offerings of Windows XP at the end of this month, June 30^th 2008.

Under Microsoft’s Windows life-cycle policy, Systems Builder like Stealth Computer will be able to offer WIN XP license until Jan 31, 2009

Windows XP Home and Starter editions will still be preloaded on ultra-low-cost PCs through June 30, 2010, or one year after the launch of the next version of Windows – whichever comes first, the company said.

In the meantime there’s been much speculation about Windows 7 as Vista sales and upgrades continue to be lower than anticipated.

VelociRaptor, the Worlds Fastest Hard Drive from WD

StealthWarrior — Thu, 08 May 2008 17:19:24 +0000

Over the years Stealth Computer has integrated WD or Western Digital Raptor hard drives into some of our high performance machines. Customers that perform video/audio editing, code compiling and other disk intensive applications easily benefit from the performance gains.

Western Digital is back with a new, ground-up design dubbed the “VelociRaptor.” The drive has a pretty unique and rugged appearance. It is a 2.5 inch drive integrated into a cast metal 3.5” enterprise class mounting frame which acts to dissipate heat. The marketing folks at WD are calling it “the world’s fastest SATA hard drive”. They claim the 300GB drive to be 35% faster then its previous fastest model.

Specs: 10,000 RPM, SATA 3 GB/s interface and a 16 MB cache

We have not had the opportunity to get our hands on one of these babies yet however they are expected to ship later this month.

There’s a fly in the ointment as Microsofts XP Service Pack 3 is delayed

StealthWarrior — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:55:35 +0000

Yesterday Microsoft announced it is delaying the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 due to a newly uncovered glitch.

Microsoft said there is a “compatibility issue” between the XP service pack and Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, a retail chain management program for small and midsize businesses.

Microsoft has finalized the code for release for SP3 last week and had planned to make it available starting April 29^th..

“In order to make sure customers have the best possible experience, we have decided to delay releasing Windows XP SP3 to Windows Update and Microsoft Download Center,” the company said in a statement.

The delay is expected to be a very short one; however it does add to the list of delays experienced as far back as 2006.
