TODAY’S COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY

Computers were once looked upon as a unimportant piece of technology “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers” – Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, 1943, “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home” – Ken Olsen, President, Chairman and Founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977, now inventors have been trying to perfect and improve the core operating functions of the computer. Computers that were initially built for calculation purposes has now led us into the twenty first century of portable laptops, handheld PDA’s, desk tops, robotics (self-cleaning vacuum, robot toys, etc), animated films, GPS Systems, world wide web, and so much more.
As our technology continues to advance rapidly, I wonder what inventions will created in the near and distant future? Will desktops become obsolete and replaced by another form of technology? Will newer advances in electronic technology replace the need for paper? One thing that frightens me a little is computer technology replacing the need for human interaction. For example, the use of cameras in traffic lights, radar equipment to detect speed without a police officer ever pulling you over, GPS devices to track you where ever whenever, machinery replacing labor in the construction fields, and so many other areas that have been taken over the by the computer. Will these advances in technology eventually control us and replace people in the work field? These are questions we need to ask ourselves as we move into the next century.

Ericsson promises 42Mbps HSPA demo using multi-carrier technology

Leave Ericsson alone for five seconds, and it goes and makes the technology it was just bragging about seem archaic. Just in case Telstra's 21Mbps Next G network seemed a bit -- how do you say, sluggish? -- Ericsson will be showcasing a new approach that enables peak downlink data rates of 42Mbps at Mobile World Congress. In order to achieve such tremendous speeds, it will rely on its so-called multi-carrier technology, which is the next (or is that next-next?) generation of HSPA. The secret? It allows users to "receive data simultaneously on two frequency channels," which doubles the data rate in the coverage area of an HSPA network and on the cell edge. The best part of all this isn't that you can one day look forward to crushing your cable modem with a wireless USB stick, it's that "one day" will be ready to happen before the dawn of 2010. Huzzah!

Eee pc slim laptop! Small wonder delivers big hype

Slim computers generally run your wallet over $2,000 a pop. Get ready for a wonderful new computer that weighs 2lbs (six and a half by nine inches and 1 inch thick) and costs exactly the same as the iPhone.
Made by high-end laptop maker Asus, the Eee PC is a slim, full-fledged computer. Eee PC has a respectable seven-inch screen, and sacrificing a thick and heavy hard drive it instead features 4GB of flash memory. Now, this little guy can't replace your super computer, but it's Linux-based OS makes it easy to create both open-source/free and Windows Word docs. There's built in wi-fi, so your Eee can play with it's bigger computer friends.
This little tiny, eeeny, elegantly pearl-colored guy is perfect for your purse, and if you still want to make calls there's alway Skype and the new Skype phone. You've got some options for a business person on the run, who's trapped in their Verizon, Team Mobile, Sprint, etc. contract, waiting for an iPhone or next generation iPhone.
For me, it's a close tie, but to be clear, this small wonder is going to deliver big hype in the coming weeks!

Computer Mediated Communication

Computer mediated technology has opened up a whole new world of privacy concerns. There are hackers that can access computers anywhere and get sensitive information. Employers can Google applicants to check their personal lives to see if they are what they think is a "good" fit for their company. Privacy concerns even turn into anonymity concerns where anyone can pretend to be someone else. CMC offers digital trails everywhere for those who know how to find or record them. This includes at the workplace, the library, on your cell phone, e-mails, instant messages, chat room discussions, forums and other digital communication mediums.
"Much of the media coverage surrounding young people and online social networks has focused on the personal information teens make available on these networks. Are they sharing information that will harm their future college or job prospects? Or worse, are they sharing information that puts them at risk of victimization?" (Lenhart and Madden, 2007). This question posed by research specialists is heavy and infers a plethora of negative consequences for choosing to share the wrong information or to make one's online profile public. There have already been stories of men who have tracked down under age girls to commit illegal acts and identity thieves who buy and sell sensitive information online (Sullivan, 2008). Privacy laws are still trying to be adjusted to help fight against such crimes, but digital criminals can be hard to track. One study discusses how, "too much bad privacy, such as ‘imposed modesty, chastity, and domestic isolation' ... prevents exposure of the spousal and child abuse" (EPIC, 2004). The problem is that protecting privacy online is becoming increasingly more difficult and more impossible to guarantee (Sullivan, 2008).
Other concerns for privacy online include those related to the US government, among others, data mining information about its citizens (Müller, 2007). In "Would You Mind Being Watched by Machines? Privacy Concerns in Data Mining,” Müller contents that either artificial intelligence is breaching privacy by understanding what it is tracking or the person who inevitably otherwise must be analyzing the information is breaching privacy (2007). His ultimate conclusion is, “The more sophisticated defenders of data mining suggest that its problem lies in how it is used: ‘One of the principal reasons for public concern about these tools is that there appears to be no consistent policy guiding decisions when and how to use them’ (DeRosa 2004, vii). I have tried to show that any use violates a right to privacy – unless it is authorized by the person concerned” (Müller, 2007). With all of the options for CMC to be tracked, there still seems to be some illusion of privacy though in some way all information online is vulnerable and recorded somewhere. Perhaps the future of CMC will find a way to solve these issues and give a realistic expectation of privacy online that if afforded in homes.

Meade ETX-LS brings the night sky a little closer

Meade are a well known name in consumer telescopes, recognised for using computer technology to make telescopes easier to use.
That technology reaches a peak in the new ETX-LS, which combines GPS and optical sensing technology to optimally align itself in 3 minutes, anywhere on the planet.
Once you’re looking at an object in the sky the telescope will work out what you’re looking at and if it knows about it, give you information through the built in speaker. It will even present related video on a connected TV.
For the uninitiated, here’s why auto alignment is cool: we are sitting on a ball of rock moving through space and spinning at 1000MPH. If you try to use a telescope to look at the sky you’ll find that it very quickly moves (remember we’re spinning) and you have to readjust the telescope to keep the sky still.
Motorised telescopes can do this adjustment automatically but they need to be told where they are on the earth so that they can work out which direction to move in.
So the ETX-LS can work out where it is automatically using GPS, fine tune itself by recognising the sky, find anything you want to look at automatically, keep track of it for as long as it’s over the horizon and also (if it’s a well known object) tell you something about it. Pretty neat!

Latest W200 Wrist Computer Gadgets

This is W200 wrist computer gadgets are providing new more advance technology and whole part of body this W200 wrist computer gadgets is very conceptual and based on latest technology. And Evan Ackerman is said:
Was the Zypad WR110 not quite feminine enough for your cyclopean curves and purple hair? Here’s a wrist computer that could enhance both your productivity and your mojo. The Ridgeline W200 from Glacier laptop is a wrist wearable computer does the trick, with sleek arm-hugging curves and a magnesium alloy case that’s a comfortable 10 ounces.
Now, I have to say, this thing looks an awful lot like the the Zypad WL1000 from back in 2006. Like, an awful lot. But at least it’s got mostly up to date specs, with a 3.5″ color touchscreen, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and various wired interfaces, running either Linux or Windows CE. As you might expect from its sporty and rugged form factor, the W200 is designed for people who want to get lost in the middle of nowhere without actually getting lost in the middle of nowhere. The batteries are hot swappable so that you’ll never lose your position, and the computer uses tilt sensors to tell if you’re actually looking at it, and if not, it powers down to idle.
I can see for myself use individual of these, for confident. Not since it’s in every way sensible or everything… No, presently so that citizens can notice me use it and say, “wow, that guy has a wrist computer, he must be awesome.” Via

Microsoft lets slip new computer mouse tech

What could this possibly be? If Microsoft is to be believed, they are really close to changing mouse technology forever. Of course, I’m talking about the kind that is usually mentioned in sentences with the word “Microsoft” not the furry kind that created our world in The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
First, their hardware page put up a glowing, blue image with the words, “9.9.08 Say Good-bye to Laser.” Then, the next thing anybody knew, an image is discovered on the German Amazon.com for a new Microsoft mouse with (lo, and behold) blue glowing… something instead of lasers on the bottom of it. The theory is that the new tech is some sort of technology that allows the mice to work on more surfaces than lasers can, which worked on more surfaces than trackballs could.
Microsoft has made a few innovations in the mouse segment over the years, lest we forget the IntelliMouse and any mouse that used the PS/2 format. Microsoft was also the first company to introduce a scrollwheel and the first to use optical technology instead of a trackball. Can you tell that I’ve been working on PCs steadily since I was four?
If information about this product becomes official before the September 9th date, we’ll be sure to let you know all about the mouse and whatever Microsoft is planning to call their blue light.

The netbook docking stations of CES 2009

Several of the companies showing off netbook-related products at CES 2009 weren’t demonstrating new computers, but accessories to extend the functionality of these low power laptops. Good Way Technology and Glory Mark Electronics are two Taiwanese companies offering docking stations that add audio, video, and USB connections to notebooks and netbooks.
The Good Way DU2771/DU2781 docking station offers a 4 port USB hub, an Ethernet port, a VGA or DVI output, mic and headphone jacks. It supports vido resolutions of up to 1680 x 1050 and will allow you to either clone your netbook desktop on a larger display or set up an extended display with separate content showing on each screen.
Good Way is an ODM, which means you may see this docking station show up under a different brand name. A Good Way rep told me the docking station typically retails for between $160 and $180. The company also sells a line of USB hubs, USB VGA and DVI adapters, and data migration cables for syncing files between your computers.
Glory Mark, meanwhile is pushing its GDS-5120/GDS-5160 docking station which adds a DVI port, a PC to PC link, 4 USB ports, and 5.1 channel audio to notebooks. The GDS-5120 supports monitors with display resolutions up to 1400 x 150 pixels, while the GDS-5160 supports screens up to 1680 x 1050 or 1600 x 1200. Glory Mark also makes a line of tiny media player boxes, USB hubs, and flash card readers. A Glory Mark rep at CES said the docking station retails for around $120 to $150.
Honestly I’m not convinced most netbook users need these types of docking stations. Most netbooks come with 2-3 USB ports and if you need more you can pick up a cheap 4 port USB hub for a few bucks. And most netbooks also have a VGA out port. If you have a monitor that needs a DVI connection you can usually find an adapter for much less money than one of these docking stations.

For the same price I paid for my new Apple iPhone, I could have paid for a new 8.9 Netbook. (I had to pay full price for my new 16GB 3G iPhone because my contract with AT&T was not up for renewal. I’m not bitter…)
The new sleeves are available in three color options and two sizes. Get your UltraPortable Sleeve today by visiting the Mobile Edge website!

James Bond computer technology may soon replace mouse with interactive gloves

London, November 24: The computer technology shown in science fictions like Minority Report and James Bond flicks are drawing closer to reality, with a Los Angeles-based company designing a system that can consign the mouse to history.
John Underkoffler, chief scientist at Oblong Industries that has created the technology, says that the new technology called G-Speak may fundamentally change the way we interact with computers.

Amazing Invention - A Complete Computer in a 160mm ball

Today’s technology is at its peak point beyond what we could ever imagine. New inventions and innovations are emerging on daily basis. No one would have seen such amazing thing before. Our imaginations have dressed into reality and today it has become possible to have a whole computer in our pocket all the time. This ball computer has taken the computer technology to new horizons.
You may have seen many other inventions of this kind but what is unique in it is that when it is closed no one is able to guess that this ball contains a whole computer inside it. When you will open you will find a complete set which includes display screen, virtual keyboard and a mouse.
This is known as E-Ball which is designed by Apostol Tnokovski. He was aiming to create the smallest PC in the world when this idea comes in his mind.
It is shaped like a sphere because in its designer’s opinion this is the best shape in nature and it captures everyone’s attention.

Rear Projection Displays / Display Grids

Rear projection is mostly used in situations with short projection distances. Under such circumstances different parts of an image are produced by individual displays arranged in a grid to show the larger image.Lens specifications are usually indicated by the ratio of projection distance to screen width. Multiple projectors are often advantageous because in order to achieve the same level of brightness as that of multiple projectors, single projectors need wide-angle lenses and a powerful light source. As screen size is increased the “hotspot effect” becomes more apparent.Thus, most people prefer to use display grids when large screens are required. Each projector is installed on a special rack behind the screen while the control, the signal source, signal receptor and format conversion equipment are installed behind the screen on the two horizontal sides or below the projector rack. This enables maintenance of the equipment without disturbing the projector.

IBM cuts Sun Micro offer to $9.50 a share: source

An IBM spokesman declined comment. The companies have not confirmed talks, but a source told Reuters on Thursday that the deal price had been negotiated down to $9.55 share and that a deal could be announced some time next week.
The deal is seen as a way for IBM to bolster its offering of computer servers, storage equipment and software as competition heats up with rivals like Hewlett-Packard .
The latest offer price represents a 91 percent premium to Sun's $4.97 close on March 17, a day before talks between the two technology companies were first reported.
The deal would be IBM's largest acquisition to date, and analysts say it will likely face intense antitrust scrutiny in the United States and Europe because it will give IBM a substantial lead in high-end business computers.
Some also say that Sun's software assets will help IBM compete more efficiently as large technology companies like Cisco Systems Inc seek to offer customers a comprehensive set of products including computer hardware, and Web-based software.

Intel Classmate 2

Intel's Classmate 2 was never intended for manufacture by Intel; the PC was simply a reference design provided for OEMs. Well, the first one is here: meet the Computer Technology Link 2Go PC.
Computer Technology Link has the presumptive first manufacturer of the Classmate 2 for some time now. The final unit specs are the same as the demonstration model we've been playing with since the Intel Developer Forum—and which, in a later incarnation, we found quite palatable at CES—barring the replacement of the 802.11n wireless card with a b/g unit.

HP TouchSmart IQ816

The goodThe good: Largest screen among mainstream all-in-one PCs; unique touch-based interface; public TouchSmart development kit could expand touch software library; convenient expandable hard-drive bay.
The badThe bad: Weak audio output; performs like a $600 desktop; non-VESA-standard wall mount.
The bottom lineThe bottom line: No other all-in-one PC can offer touch-based input or an LCD screen as large as that of the HP TouchSmart IQ816. It's hard to deny that those features make this a compelling desktop for families with a place to put it. Weak performance hinders its suitability for work, and it's not the best digital entertainment center, but we recommend this system to anyone looking to get in early on the touch-computing experiment.

WhAt Is CoMpUtEr ?

A computer tower, also known as a computer case, is the enclosure that holds many components of a personal or office desktop computer. A computer tower can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can also be made from a wide range of materials including steel, plastic, aluminum and more. The sizes of a computer tower range from small mini-towers to medium sized mid-towers and all the way up to full-size towers, depending on what the computer is being used for and how powerful it is.
There are several computer components that can be commonly found in the computer tower of a home or office computer. Typical components include the motherboard, hard drive, power supply, optical drives and floppy drives as well as other parts. The locations of these components within the computer tower is usually dependent upon the size or shape of the tower itself, but they are also found typically in the same places on the tower for the sake of convenience. For example, the CD, DVD or floppy drives can usually be found in the front of the computer tower for easy access, while the power supply is usually located in the back to keep the cords out of the way.
A computer tower can also contain many built-in features that work with the components inside. The most obvious of these is that most towers need to have a power button embedded in the front to turn the computer on and off, but there can also be buttons and knobs used to control fans and other components inside the tower. A computer tower can also contain USB, firewire and other types of ports that connect to the motherboard as well as a variety of lights and sensors to tell the computer user information such as internal temperature and processor speeds.
Typically, a computer tower is designed specifically around the type, or form factor, of motherboard that it is housing. The main types of form factors are called ATX and microATX, the latter of which is much more compact. In some models of home computers known as all-in-one computers, the tower and components of the computer are built in with the monitor of the computer, making them even more compact than a typical desktop computer.
The shape of the typical computer tower is rectangular, and more generic versions will usually come in the color beige. This, however, has become less common with the home computer as many more options are available to buy a computer tower with a more unique look, and someone can now buy a computer tower in many different colors, shapes and sizes. Of course, the larger a tower is, the more components a user will be able to fit inside. In a practice known as case modding, some people even customize their computer tower so that it is completely unique. A tower that has been modified in this fashion can have any number of lights, fans, artwork, see-through walls, internal cooling systems, or other unique attributes that are limited only by the owner’s imagination.

Upgrade or Buy a New Computer

Nowadays, computer technology is moving forward in a rapid pace. It takes different computer manufacturers a few months before they release something new into the market. That’s why if you bought the latest computer 2 or 3 months ago, there’s a chance that it’s obsolete by the time you read this. There’s always something better coming up, and you’re left with the decision of upgrading your PC or buying a whole new PC to replace your old one.
Choosing between upgrading and buying a computer takes a lot of decision making. For others, replacing current PC components or adding new ones will do the trick. But for some individuals, buying a new computer altogether will be a more beneficial route.
If you have minor problems with your current computer, and if you want to extend the life of your PC without breaking the bank, your option would be to upgrade your PC. Buying computer components and upgrading your PC is a lot more economical and cheaper than buying a new PC altogether.
However, there are some things to keep in mind when upgrading your computer. If your computer has been with you for more than two years, simply upgrading your computer might be a problem. When it comes to upgrading, compatibility is always an issue. Buying new components and adding them to your 4 or 5 year old PC just wouldn’t work, and if it does, it probably will be inefficient and uneconomical.
Computers that are three or four years old wouldn’t be able to support the new technology that is being released of today. It will be useless to install new components into an outdated PC.
If that’s the case, when is it okay to upgrade your PC? If you’ve had your computer for one or two years, then upgrading is a good option. Getting the right upgrades can help you experience more sophisticated computing without spending too much.
Today, buying a new computer is not as expensive as it was years ago. If you plan to upgrade your PC the high-end way, then you’ll be shocked to find out that the cost of upgrades will be somewhat similar to purchasing a new PC. If this is the case for you, buying a new computer altogether will be your best option. This way, you don’t have to stress yourself on which parts or components to buy. All you have to do is plug the new PC in and voila – you have your new and up to date computer working.
Those are some things to think about when deciding between upgrading and buying a new computer. If your 1 or 2 year old PC needs minor tweaking, upgrading it will be a good option. It extends the life of your PC without requiring a huge investment. But if you have a 3 or 4 year old PC, or if the cost of upgrades is too much, buying a new PC altogether is the more reasonable option. Also, if you plan on running applications that require fast systems on your PC, a new computer will do the job more quickly than upgraded PCs.

ECS GF9300T-A Brings You a Higher Level of Video and Gaming Realism

Taipei, Taiwan, 15th Oct, 2008 –Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS), the world’s leading motherboard, barebone system and notebook manufacturer, is pleased to introduce a brand new motherboard; the GF9300T-A - Targeted at multimedia and mainstream gaming desktops. The motherboard is not merely the first CUDA-ready board of the Black Series products, it still carries very useful functions including GeForce Boost, Blu-ray HD video playback, DirectX 10, Motherboard Intelligent Bios(MIB) and others to meet the higher performance but energy saving requirements. This product the GF9300T-A motherboard will put a smile on faces of many users and gamers in particular.
To offer a good entertainment experience for users, the GF9300T-A motherboard carries a bunch of features. Not only does this new board have support for 65nm and 45nm Core2 Duo/Quad processors, but it also supports GeForce Boost technology for getting an extra 70% graphics performance and simultaneous analogue (VGA)/digital (HDMI) output. In addition, the motherboard features NVIDIA PureVideo technology which has the excellent support for Blu-ray/HD video playback and DirectX 10. On top of that the board’s CUDA-ready IGP can be used for PhysX. That means users can use a discrete graphic card as a video card then the IGP as a physics card for hardware acceleration and bringing a lot of realism for the heavy resource intensive games. Another particularly noteworthy feature for the GF9300T-A is adding a heatsink to its mosfets. The heatsink helps dissipate heat from the mosfets while keeping the system cooler and more stable adding to the longevity and durability of the components.
The GF9300T-A board features one X16 PCI Express 2.0 graphics slot and also supports Geforce Boost technology allowing an integrated GPU to combine forces with the discrete GPU to enhance overall performance. The new motherboard also has four DDR2-800 memory slots, a pair of X1 PCI Express slots, three PCI slots, an IDE connector and an external SATA Port as well as six SATA ports with RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 functions. It goes without saying that GF9300T-A is a pretty good choice for heavy gamers and multimedia users on a budget.

New Computer Technology When is Enough, Enough?

You’re most likely in love with technology - always looking for a new intrusion protection product to play with or another border-gateway protocol. What you have to realize is that your small business clients aren’t experimenting with new computer technology and so you shouldn’t be wasting your time investigating it.fujitsu-zero-watt-001 New Computer Technology When is Enough, Enough?
New computer technology is a distraction you can’t afford. It’s easy to get caught-up with keeping-up, but, no one is paying you for your raw technical knowledge. They aren’t paying you for knowing the latest new computer technology, they are paying you for knowing the technology they are using.
If you’ve been in corporate IT for a long time you’re way ahead of the average small business anyway. The average small business is going to be at least six to twelve sometimes even 18 months behind the new computer technology you see in the average enterprise IT shop.
In the early stages of your business, you have to put learning new computer technology on the back burner. Adjust your priorities and put 90 percent of your R&D on the back burner for the next three to six months. Concentrate on finding paying clients. If those paying clients start demanding skills with new computer technology, that’s when you invest your time and energy.
The Bottom Line on New Computer Technology
You’re in the business you’re in because you love new computer technology. Unfortunately, in the business building stage you can’t afford to spend your time learning, you have to spend your time doing - and getting paid for doing it. New computer technology isn’t being used in the majority of clients’ applications anyway. Put your passion for new computer technology on hold for a while and be passionate about finding steady, paying customers.

Microsoft Surface, Future of Computers

Bill Gates will manage one of the highest-profile transitions in American business history and computer technology. Before stepping down as chairman of Microsoft (currently $300 billion company that he co-founded over 30 years ago) and moving on to philanthropy, Gates will head a few more high-tech projects and hopefully achieve his goal of bridging the physical and virtual worlds. A secret covert project code named Milan and is 5 years in the making was top secret until recently being unveiled to the public at the Wall Street Journal conference. The project involved transforming an ordinary tabletop into a brilliant, interactive surface with effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch, and physical objects. A revolutionary aspect of Microsoft Surface is its natural interaction with everyday objects and technologies with an intuitive touch-sensitive 30-inch tabletop with nothing but your fingers. No more computer mouse, keyboards, or wires. The multi-touch interface allows the user to have hands-on control of photos, music, maps, and more. The coolest feature I liked was the photo resizing and stacking that is similar to Macintosh’s Apple iPhone’s zoom gestures.

The Intel Atom™ processor will be the name for a new family of low-power processors designed specifically for mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and a new class of simple and affordable Internet-centric computers arriving later this year. Together, these new market segments represent a significant new opportunity to grow the overall market for Intel silicon, using the Intel Atom processor as the foundation. The company also announced the Intel Centrino Atom™ processor technology brand for MID platforms, consisting of multiple chips that enable the best Internet experience in a pocketable device.
The Intel Atom processor is based on an entirely new microarchitecture designed specifically for small devices and low power, while maintaining the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo instruction set compatibility consumers are accustomed to when using a standard PC and the Internet. The design also includes support for multiple threads for better performance and increased system responsiveness. All of this on a chip that measures less than 25 mm², making it Intel's smallest and lowest power processor yet.1 Up to 11 Intel Atom processor die -- the tiny slivers of silicon packed with 47 million transistors each -- would fit in an area the size of an American penny.

These new chips, previously codenamed Silverthorne and Diamondville, will be manufactured on Intel's industry-leading 45nm process with hi-k metal gate technology. The chips have a thermal design power (TDP) specification in 0.6-2.5 watt range and scale to 1.8GHz speeds depending on customer need. By comparison, today's mainstream mobile Core 2 Duo processors have a TDP in the 35-watt range.
"This is our smallest processor built with the world's smallest transistors," said Intel Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Sean Maloney. "This small wonder is a fundamental new shift in design, small yet powerful enough to enable a big Internet experience on these new devices. We believe it will unleash new innovation across the industry."
With personal computing increasingly going mobile and the computer industry rapidly developing new classes of products to connect the next billion people to the Internet, the Intel Atom processor offers customers the unique ability to innovate around the new low-power design. In addition to the MID opportunity, Intel believes the demand for a new category of low-cost, Internet-centric mobile computing devices dubbed "netbooks" and basic Internet-centric desktop PCs dubbed "nettops," will grow substantially over the next several years. The Intel Atom processor is perfectly suited to meet these new market segments.
Intel said the Intel Atom processor also has potential for future revenue opportunities in consumer electronic devices, embedded applications and thin clients.
Intel Centrino Atom Processor Technology
The Intel Centrino Atom processor technology brand represents Intel's best technology for MIDs. Formerly codenamed "Menlow," Intel Centrino Atom processor technology includes the Intel Atom processor, a low-power companion chip with integrated graphics, a wireless radio, and thinner and lighter designs. Together, these components are designed to enable the best mobile computing and Internet experience on these new devices.

New twists on old favourites

New computer technology has allowed criminals to indulge in old favourites like fraud, but on a massive scale. A classic example of this is when you receive an email from someone unknown who has a tragic story about how they have access to millions of pounds, and they need to secretly remove it from a particular country because they are under surveillance. All you need to do is send them your bank details and they will transfer the money to your account and give you half of it. Too good to be true? Of course it is, but the fact that thousands of these fake emails can be sent every day means that just once of twice some poor recipient will give the details, and the criminals can now steal that persons identity and money. This has extended to scams where people are told they have won a lottery they never entered, or receive an email supposedly from their bank saying that they need all the customers personals details again 'just to check the system'.
In fact this kind of computer fraud has been recognized by the ig Nobel prize panel: a kind of spoof of the real Nobel prizes that aim to make people both laugh and think about research, science and technology. The prizes are for "achievements that cannot or should not be reproduced." and the Nigerian scammers won theirs for their contribution to literature! The full citation is: "The Internet entrepreneurs of Nigeria, for creating and then using e-mail to distribute a bold series of short stories, thus introducing millions of readers to a cast of rich characters - General Sani Abacha, Mrs. Mariam Sanni Abacha, Barrister Jon A Mbeki Esq., and others - each of whom requires just a small amount of expense money so as to obtain access to the great wealth to which they are entitled and which they would like to share with the kind person who assists them.

Lenovo Launches Convertible Tablet PC

Lenovo has announced the ThinkPad X60 Tablet, a new convertible tablet PC—with two new screen choices and other Lenovo features, such as dynamic screen rotation.
The ThinkPad X60 Tablet offers new, combined MultiView/MultiTouch screen features in a convertible tablet PC, giving users the ability to compute more naturally, whether working in the field or in the office.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet's new 12-inch MultiView indoor/outdoor, anti-reflective/anti-glare display, helps increase viewability in multiple environments. This screen choice comes combined with the new MultiTouch feature that allows users to move the cursor with their pen or finger, making interaction with the ThinkPad Tablet PC a natural fit.
"A recent campus-wide survey revealed that over 90 percent of the student body believes that computer technology enhances his or her learning experience," said Philip Lombardi, director of academic computing and media services at Bryant University. "Of the students surveyed, we discovered that more students would prefer to use a tablet over a traditional notebook PC because of its light weight and ease of use in taking notes. In the past year, a group of first year psychology majors have been using Lenovo Tablet PCs to administer surveys and collect data as part of a pilot program. Our goal is to extend this technology to more students in various majors to provide them with a PC solution that best complements their academic experience."
The ThinkPad X60 Tablets come equipped with Lenovo's patent-pending Active Rotate function. With Active Rotate, the screen immediately orients to the user, no matter which direction it turns. The ThinkPad X60 Tablet's design also focuses on improving more traditional tablet features like navigational tools and the pen. Now a redesigned navigational dial lets users move easily in four directions, and it even remaps keys so 'up' is always 'up' as the user changes orientation with Active Rotate. Also, a new, more natural and durable pen resumes from suspend mode automatically when a user removes it from its cradle. An enhanced digital microphone repositioned on the front bezel enables accurate voice recognition and rounds out the ThinkPad X60 Tablet's sensory improvements.
"The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC marries the best aspects of notebooks and pen-based devices," said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president, Notebook Business Unit, Lenovo. "With new screen options, hardware capabilities and an improved sensory experience interacting with the Tablet, the new Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet is packed with the innovation our customers want."
The ThinkPad X60 Tablet's design also includes more memory, a larger hard drive and longer battery life than Lenovo's previous Tablet PC. The ThinkPad X60 Tablet also prepares people for the next generation of wireless connectivity with select models offering 802.11n technology2 as well as an embedded WWAN card. ThinkPad X60 Tablet users are also ready for the next operating system with many ThinkPad X60 Tablet models shipped Windows VistaTM Capable and some VistaTM Premium Ready.

Computer Technology

A complete history of computing would include a multitude of diverse devices such as the ancient Chinese abacus, the Jacquard loom (1805) and Charles Babbage's ``analytical engine'' (1834). It would also include discussion of mechanical, analog and digital computing architectures. As late as the 1960s, mechanical devices, such as the Marchant calculator, still found widespread application in science and engineering. During the early days of electronic computing devices, there was much discussion about the relative merits of analog vs. digital computers. In fact, as late as the 1960s, analog computers were routinely used to solve systems of finite difference equations arising in oil reservoir modeling. In the end, digital computing devices proved to have the power, economics and scalability necessary to deal with large scale computations. Digital computers now dominate the computing world in all areas ranging from the hand calculator to the supercomputer and are pervasive throughout society. Therefore, this brief sketch of the development of scientific computing is limited to the area of digital, electronic computers.Each generation is characterized by dramatic improvements over the previous generation in the technology used to build computers, the internal organization of computer systems, and programming languages. Although not usually associated with computer generations, there has been a steady improvement in algorithms, including algorithms used in computational science.

Advancement in Computer Technology

Today the hardware in computers and other devices has changed significantly; we went from having a “spacious” 1mb hard drive to 250 GB of space. The graphics have also taken a giant leap for our computers, no longer are we confined to little dots but our 256mb graphic cards allow us to explore a virtual world in 3d. The sound has also changed from 4bit to 32 and pretty soon 64bit; we went from beeps to actually words. Finally the speed of our beloved computers has also increased from mere kilobytes to gigabytes of rams.In such a short period of time we went from what we used to call “advanced” technology to today’s much superior devices. So if you guys are like I am, there is one question that strikes our mind, what’s next? Well I would love to say that we will be able to put on our virtual glasses that will allow us to explore the virtual world as if we were in it, but this is not likely, sorry guys; however, these sorts of glasses are being constructed but its unlikely they will come out any time soon.What we can expect to see is an improvement in our Text-to-speech and vise versa programs after the 64bit sound card is released allowing the computer to understand our voices much clearly, also we should soon be seeing more “dept” in our computer as you may know that the most our computers can run on 32bit resolution, it is expected that Microsoft is like to bring out a 64bit resolution with there next version of windows. Also the speed and graphics are to increase a lot more, already some games look as they are almost real, and soon they will look real. I am not certain exactly what marvel the computer hardware’s will hold in the future, but one thing is certain it will be something to forward too, and once again the next generation will be mocking the so called advanced technology we have today.

Can Computers Beat Human Programmers? Part 1. Gaining processing power

Can computers compete with us, human programmers, in the near future? The short answer is yes - if computers will gain enough processing power, become intelligent, could effectively interact with humans, build useful programs and… still be interested to serve humans.Computers take over more and more people jobs and areas considered exclusively human. Deep Blue beat the human best chess champion Garry Kasparov, it is not possible to win checkers against computers, they create drugs, carry 70 % of foreign currency trades and will do 50% of stock trades in 2010.But to become better than a human programmer, a computer should compete with very powerful processing machine - our brains

Brain computer interfaces to produce smart artificial limbs that interact with your brain!

What have the scientists taken today’s computer technology to? It’s somehow quite beyond our imagination. Some researchers have claimed that they’ve managed to produce some computer interfaces that can be part of your body and interact with your brain. This new computing technology is called invasive BCI, which has now taken BCI a step further for integrating into human body to replace lost body parts.The invasive BCI is a great invention that can replace the lost parts of your body, such as lost limbs and even lost memory! Of course, you’d argue that artificial limbs have been available for ages. But the invasive BCI is different from the conventional artificial limbs which are made simply plastic imitations of the originals and they’re so called dead, which don’t interact with your brain. The BCIs can be used to produce artificial limbs built with silicon chips that can respond with pulses from the brain, which works exactly like the real limbs.
