Acer reported loss for the second quarter in a row, as the Taiwanese company struggles with sagging PC sales and the rise of tablets.

Acer’s net loss for the third quarter totalled NT$1.1 billion (US$36 million), lower than the company’s second quarter loss of NT$6.7 billion.

Revenue for the quarter fell 30 percent year on year, to NT$117.3 billion.

Acer, formerly the world’s third-largest PC maker, has fallen to fourth place in the market since the end of last year, according to research firm IDC. IDC said the company saw total shipments in the third quarter fall by 20.6 percent, with sales of mini-notebooks also declining.

The company’s struggles come as growth in the PC market has slowed, with shipments falling below analysts projections. a decline in spending brought on by wider weak economic conditions has caused consumers to look at other devices over the PC, according to IDC.

While most of Acer’s sales come from laptops, the company hopes to reverse its financial decline by selling tablets. Acer has previously said it expects to sell around 7 million tablets this year, with officials anticipating it will help improve revenues.

However, competition in this market is fierce: Market research firm Strategy Analytics reported Friday that Apple still held two-thirds of the tablet market in the third quarter, leaving Acer and other manufacturers of Android tablets to share 27 percent, or 4.5 million units, between them. the remaining 6.7 percent or so was composed of tablets running other operating systems, including Windows and QNX, the OS used in the BlackBerry PlayBook.

New USB to HDMI Adapter Makes it Easy to Connect a Computer to an HDMI-enabled Monitor or Display, through USB

Product allows non-HDMI enabled computers to output HDMI video and audio to any HDMI display including televisions, monitors and projectors

StarTech.com, a leading manufacturer of hard-to-find connectivity parts has announced the release of the USB to HDMI Adapter (USB2HDMI) – a convenient multi-monitor solution that enables users to connect an HDMI-capable display to a Windows or Mac-based laptop or desktop computer, through a USB 2.0 port.

the adapter is a cost-effective solution for adding a secondary monitor or several monitors (using multiple adapters), without having to update the computer video card, or even open the computer case. the adapter offers practical, scalable technology that could be utilized in many environments, including business and home applications. As a solution for enterprise or SOHO business users, the adapter makes it easy to add multi-monitor configurations for the sake of improved employee productivity, while home-users/end-users could benefit from the adapter’s use as a cost effective way to connect their home computer to an HDTV, for watching videos, viewing photos, or simply using the Internet.

"We discovered that people were looking for an easier way to output video and audio from their non-HDMI enabled computers to an HDMI display" said John Mardinly, Senior Product Manager for StarTech.com. "As is the case with many of our other USB adapters we offer, this adapter allows older computers to be used with today’s cutting-edge technology."

the USB to HDMI Adapter offers the following features:

• Support for 1080p display resolutions (1920 x 1080), 720p video playback recommended
• USB-powered – the adapter draws power from the host USB connection, with no need for an additional power supply/adapter
• Supports the Windows Aero® interface in Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Supports 2-channel (stereo) audio

On this day in 1981, Microsoft bought what was to become MS-DOS from Seattle Computer Products. SCP has developed the system under the name QDOS. everybody knows MS-DOS stands for Microsoft Disk Operating system, but that’s actually a neat bit of corporate whitewashing from bill Gates and co.–QDOS originally stood for Quick and Dirty Operating system.
