Fujitsu Brings Lifebook S2210 to U.S.

Fujitsu may not be a big name in the U.S. computer marketplace, but the company is a leading computer manufacturer worldwide and sometimes brings products to the North American market which stand up to some scrutiny. The company’s latest notebook offering is the LifeBook S2210, a sleek 4 pound notebook which boasts either a DVD/CD Combo drive or dual layer DVD burner, a 13.3-inch LCD display, an ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 1150 graphics controller (with up to 256 MB of video memory), 40 to 100 GB of hard drive storage, and anywhere from 512 to to 2 GB of RAM (maxing out at 4 GB)—all powered by a 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2. At pre-configured prices ranging from $1,299 to $1,979, the LifeBook S2210 offers an interesting combination of features and portability.

Also on board the LifeBook S2210s: three USB 2.0 ports, a mini S-Video output, external video, gigabit ethernet, a four-pin IEEE 1394 port, support for Memory Stick Pro/SD media cards, one Type I/II PCMCIA slot, 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, an optional biometric fingerprint reader, and a Trusted Platform Module. Power users will want to check out the optional port replicator which busts out serial, parallel, DVI-D, and PS/2 ports along with four USB 2.0 ports, Ethernet pass-thru, a security lock, and DC power. Users can swap out the optical drive for a second battery; Fujitsu says a single six-cell battery should offer about 2.5 hours of operation, while a dual battery setup will run up to 4.5 hours.

The U.S. government has placed trade restrictions on Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., China's largest chipmaker, on allegations of connections to the Asian country's military.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration was reportedly looking into adding SMIC to the Commerce Department's entity list, where it would join fellow Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE, with the Defense Department working with other agencies over the matter. Sources claimed that the government was scrutinizing ties between SMIC and the Chinese military, with the chipmaker denying the alleged connections.

The U.S. wastes $161B worth of food every year. A.I. is helping us fix that

“[When you see pictures of food waste] it just blows you away,” said Stefan Kalb, a former food wholesaler. “I mean, shopping cart after shopping cart of food waste. What happens with the merchandisers when they walk through the store, and they’re pulling products that have expired, is that they’ll put it in a shopping cart and just roll it to the back. It's almost one of those dystopian [movie] pictures … cartons of milk just piled up in a grocery cart. The ones that didn’t make it.”

If you’re an everyday consumer, the chances are that you don’t know exactly what Kalb is talking about. When you or I go to the grocery store, we do not have to walk past enormous piles of wasted food to reach the store. There aren’t huge bins at the end of every aisle filled with expired pots of hummus or salad that’s started to wilt. That would be a total downer. Based on what we see, supermarket shelves filled with a greater number of food products than ever, it’s easy to think that there isn’t a problem at all. Except that there very much is.
