Toshiba ha appena presentato il nuovo processore Quad Core HD integrato nei nuovi notebook Qosmio F50 e Qosmio G50 che saranno disponibili in Europa, Medio Oriente ed Africa nel terzo trimestre dell’anno.
Basato su architettura Cell, il processore Quad Core di Toshiba è un coprocessore high-performance, il cui scopo è alleggerire il peso di elaborazione dei dati video in alta definizione provenienti dalla CPU e dalla GPU. Questo garantisce una maggiore potenza di elaborazione dei dati e la conversione di video da standard ad HD sarà un gioco da ragazzi.
Quattro sono le applicazioni principali del Toshiba Quad Core HD Processor:
- Upconversion: la conversione dei video a definizione standard in formati ad alta definizione.
- Transcoding: elaborazione rapida dei video HD più pesanti ed editing ad alta velocità.
- Face Navigation: la funzione “Face Navigation (Toshiba Index Viewer)” riconosce e registra i volti così come appaiono sullo schermo e li organizza in un semplice indice di ricerca che può essere utilizzato per selezionare le scene con personaggi specifici.
- Gesture Control: supporta l’interfaccia gesture-based: i semplici movimenti delle mani registrati dalla webcam, integrata nel PC, possono essere utilizzati per controllare la riproduzione video.
“Il processore di Toshiba Quad Core elimina i principali problemi, semplificando la gestione e la creazione dei contenuti HD, anche se si lavora contemporaneamente con applicazioni multiple”, ha dichiarato Thomas Teckentrup, General Manager Toshiba Computer System Division, Europa.
Il nuovo processore di Toshiba integra la codifica e decodifica in alta definizione H.264 e MPEG2 dei 4 processori SIMD RISC a 128 bit, ognuno da 1,5 GHz in un engine broadband. Due drive HDD garantiscono, inoltre, una capacità di storage fino a 640 GB. Non sappiamo, però, quanto l’utilizzo così massiccio di queste funzionalità incida sulla durata della batteria.
Scrupulously Elaborated Fraud Scheme Taints Japanese Corporations

It is known there are many hidden obstacles on the way to success in business. One chooses to overcome them legally going through thick and thin, others prefer to speculate upon a fraud scheme to tear out some money. For instance, the Russian Federation allows the latter to prosper and not to be accused of their heinous deeds since the Russian legislation is used selectively and corruption has become a norm of life.
In our case, representatives of Toshiba Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation LT, Inc. (http://www.mclogi.com/) have been working successfully in partnership for many years in Russia. Nevertheless, they, Mr. Naohiro Baba and Mr. Koichiro Natsume, had decided to snatch a large sum using Mr. Vadim Danilov and his clients.
Mr. Danilov was convinced by Mr. Baba that he had been registered as an official Toshiba trader – the Ninth Wave operating from the UK. In addition, Mr. Danilov was declared that NANA Eurooppa OY (NANA Europe Ltd.), and NANA Baltic OY were his sub-dealers, as well as all the companies which had been invited by Mr. Danilov to Toshiba’s Conference also become his sub-dealers. So, Mr. Danilov worked hard believing that his current position is a real one and promising future promotions.
To his luck, Mr. Danilov had uncovered the scheme while checking fake invoices and seeing asset misappropriation in bills. Moreover, the Ninth Wave (faked trader of Toshiba) was responsible for delivery and sale of broken appliances already covered by insurance company. As a result, he started finding out the data with Mr. Baba and Mr. Natsume but they preferred to fade away from Russia and kick back Mr. Danilov leaving him in debts.

Nowadays, Mr. Danilov had been obliged to return “the funds received” from Toshiba Corporation. He has been struggling for his rights and compensation for material and moral damages for 33 months.
Scattered Trust of Highly-Motivated Employee
By David Schneider david_lawyer@walla.com
If you open Moscow Yellow Pages, you would be surprised how many foreign companies have their offices in Moscow. Although the international financial crisis has caused the collapse which has never occurred since the Great Depression, the Russian Federation is still considered as a quiet harbor.
Amongst the transcontinental companies there are a considerable number of Japanese corporations such as Toshiba and Mitsubishi. Though the latter are thought to be well-known for their successful in retailing of high-quality products worldwide, there have been cases which must be interesting to investigating institutions. We are going to take Mr. Vadim Danilov’s employee fraud case including asset misappropriation, money laundering, and kickback scheme.
The story goes Mr. Vadim Danilov was hired by Mr. Harry Fujimaki to work for Toshiba Corporation (株式会社東芝 Kabushiki-gaisha Tōshiba) as a general logistics manager in Russia. The event occurred in 2004. In the course of two years Mr. Danilov had been “employed” in other areas such as, a certification specialist, customs broker, trader, promoter, etc. Mr. Danilov worked effectively and honestly thinking that he was a team player contributing to Toshiba’s profits.
Moreover, Mr. Koichiro Natsume, an executive manager of Toshiba Corporation in the CIS, declared him a Toshiba Official Trader at the Conference at the Imperial Park Hotel, Moscow, 2006. In addition, Mr. Natsume declared that Mr. Vadim Danilov was officially registered by Toshiba Corporation as Toshiba’s Official Trader named “the Ninth Wave” in the UK. To conclude the announced procedures, Mr. Natsume issued to Danilov’s Ninth Wave an invoice which was paid to a TCMS official account at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Singapore Branch.
Furthermore, there were other financial transactions during 2006-2007-2008 years, executed by Mr. Vadim Danilov between clients and Toshiba Consumer Marketing Singapore, SMBC Singapore branch account.
After all the payments were completed, Mr. Natsume vanished somewhere in Japan. Toshiba Corporation managers in Russia, Japan and Singapore refused to explain to Mr. Vadim Danilov how those payments had been used.
Toshiba Corporation & TCMS, insist that Mr. Vadim Danilov has no evidences and the corporation declares now that Mr. Vadim Danilov had never had any relations with Toshiba Group Companies.
Nowadays, the Toshiba staff has been running away from Mr. Danilov for 33 months. The Metropolitan Police Department of Tokyo also refused to investigate the accident and explained to Mr. Danilov that he had no right to bring in an action against a Japanese citizen. It seems to be a confrontation between David and Goliath but David had had no backup…
