Dark Angel (TV series)

Dark Angel is an American biopunk/cyberpunk science fiction television series. It was created by James Cameron and Charles H. Eglee and starred Jessica Alba in her breakthrough role. The series chronicles the life of Max Guevara, a genetically-enhanced super-soldier who escapes from a covert government military facility as a child. In a post-apocalyptic Seattle, she tries to lead a normal life, while eluding capture by government agents and searching for her genetically-enhanced brothers and sisters scattered in the aftermath of their escape. The series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, at Lions Gate Studios.

The show premiered in the United States on the Fox network on October 3, 2000. The high-budget pilot episode was Cameron's television debut and was heavily promoted by Fox. The first season, which was shown on Tuesday nights in the U.S., received mainly positive reviews and won several awards. Alba's portrayal of Max also received mostly positive reviews. For the second season the show was moved to Friday nights, received some criticism for new plot elements and suffered from a ratings drop. It was subsequently cancelled. The storyline was continued in a series of novels; a video game adaptation was also released after the show's cancellation.

Ultra-mobile PC

An ultra-mobile PC (ultra-mobile personal computer or UMPC) was a small form factor version of a pen computer, a class of laptop whose specifications were launched by Microsoft and Intel in spring 2006. Sony had already made a first attempt in this direction in 2004 with its Vaio U series, which was however only sold in Asia. UMPCs are smaller than subnotebooks, have a TFT display measuring (diagonally) about 12.7 to 17.8 cm (5 to 7 inch screen), are operated like tablet PCs using a touchscreen or a stylus, and can also have a physical keyboard. There is no clear boundary between subnotebooks and ultra-mobile PCs.

The first-generation UMPCs were simple PCs running Linux or an adapted version of Microsoft's tablet PC operating system. With the announcement of the UMPC, Microsoft dropped the licensing requirement that tablet PCs must support proximity sensing of the stylus, which Microsoft termed "hovering".

Second-generation UMPCs use less electricity and can therefore be used longer (up to five hours) and also support Windows Vista.
