LG reveals X-Note Z330 Ultrabook, claims it cold boots in ten seconds -- Engadget

LG reveals X-Note Z330 Ultrabook, claims it cold boots in ten seconds -- Engadget: "Not to be confused with the bulkier P330 13.3-incher we saw last month, the new X-Note Z330 looks to have toned up to gain membership to the mwah-mwah Ultrabook clique. It's a mere 14.7mm (0.58-inches) in thickness, 1.21kg (2.67 pounds) in weight and sports a solid state drive to help it boot up in under ten seconds. What's not so Ultrabookish, however, is the price: the Z330 has been announced in Korea starting at ₩1,700,000 ($1,500) for the Core i5 variant with 4GB RAM, a 120GB SSD and a fairly usual range of connectivity, including HDMI, USB 3.0 and Intel WiDi for streaming content wirelessly to your HDTV. Opting for a Core i7 and a 256GB SSD will add a hefty ₩900,000 ($800) on top of that. We've duly prepared a rant about value for money, but we're going to save it until there's an official US price tag instead."

Download Original Thumbnails for any YouTube Video

Download Original Thumbnails for any YouTube Video: "YouTube is one of the most popular and most linked to sites on the Web. Generally, when you link to a YouTube video, you are stuck with the default thumbnail originally chosen by the video’s creator as your linkable icon. Sure, you could watch the video and try to capture the perfect screen shots, then resize them to thumbnail size, but that takes time and effort."
