PictBridge is an industry standard from CIPA for printing images from digital camera to printer. Created in 2003.
CIPA = Camera and Imaging Products Association
SLR stands for single-lens reflex. Meant to offer better WYSIWIG photography. SLRs were apparently initally developed for large-format photography.

What is Intel Core2 technology?
http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/core2xe/index.htm
The Intel Core2 is built using a technology called Micro-FCPGA (Flip Chip Pin Grid Array). In this architecture the die (small block of semiconducting material) faces downward on top of the CPU with the back of the die exposed. This is to allow the die greater contact with the heatsink.

What is DLNA-certification?
A lot of laptops these days have the sticker "DLNA certified". What does this mean?
DLNA is the Digital Living Network Alliance. DLNA compliance enables your laptop to be used as a digital media server.

What is an Ingress Protection rating?
An IP rating (or IP code stands) for "Ingress Protection Rating" which classifies the level of protection electrical appliances have against intrusion of solid objects, dust and water.
The standard aims to provide more information than simple "waterproof".
The first digit indicates the amount of protection against solid objects.
The second digit indicates the protection of the equipment inside against various forms of moisture.
e.g. an IP65 halogen shower light will have a protection-versus-solids rating of 6, which indicates its dust-tight, and protection-versus-moisture means protection from water projected from a nozzle. IP67 would mean protection against immersion in water, and 68 would be complete continuous immersion in water (but submersion depth and time must be specified).
