pocket Pc

A small computer that literally fits in your palm. Compared to full-size computers, palmtops are severely limited, but they are practical for certain functions such as phone books and calendars. Palmtops that use a pen rather than a keyboard for input are often called hand-held computers or PDAs.

Because of their small size, most palmtop computers do not include disk drives. However, many contain PCMCIA slots in which you can insert disk drives, modems, memory, and other devices.

Palmtops are also called PDAs, hand-held computers and pocket computers.

160 Mp camera

When we first spotted this new cam from Seitz, our jaws hit the floor and rebounded a few times. No, it's not the highest megapixel count we've seen, but this megalith of a camera shoots at 160 megapixels to create a native 6 x 17-cm image, is packed with an ISO range from 500 to 10,000, a read-out speed of 300MB per second, and a shutter speed of 1/20,000th second. So the next question is, how are you going to store such huge image files (nearly 1 GB per uncompressed full panorama), certainly not on your off-the-shelf 16GB SDHC card, nor the upcoming 64GB CompactFlash cards -- but rather via gigabit Ethernet to Seitz's "state-of-the-art computer system", which translates to a decked out Mac mini. So what will this much imaging power cost you? 45,500 Swiss francs ($36,266) for the "mobile version" and 42,300 Swiss francs ($33,715) for the "studio version", and we're assuming that the Mac mini is included for that price. However, given that this camera isn't quite what you'd front for a down payment on a Swiss châlet, the 6x17 Digital surely must be affordable to average working-class Zürich banker set, no? You can catch a glimpse of this bad boy at the upcoming Photokina expo in Germany, or can throw down some serious Swiss coinage now to pre-order this gargantuan cam, which won't become available until early 2007.

Acer Ferrari 5000 dual-core AMD laptop

Acer's Ferrari-branded notebooks have always favoured AMD-made engines, and the very latest model, the 5000, features the latest Turion 64 X2 twin-core processor. This fifth-generation Ferrari laptop brings yet more features, as well as higher performance, but like the titular sportscars, you'll need quite deep pockets to be able to buy one...

But there's no question you get a lot of laptop for your lolly, whether you're a Ferrari fan or not. In the UK, for example, you'll only be able to buy the top-of-the-range model.

The design is the most striking part of the Ferrari 5000, and people will definitely be glancing at your notebook if you own one of these. The lid is made from carbon fibre, to reduce the weight but still provide protection for the screen. The screen itself measures 15.4in and is a shiny model with a native resolution of 1,680 x 1,050. It looks very good during indoors use, but the coating can get very reflective if you park it in bright sunshine.

The processor is the top-of-the-line 2GHz, 512KB L2 per core Turion X2 TL-60. It also has a thermal profile of 35W which makes it the hottest mobile processor from AMD. The Ferrari 5000 was actually running quite hot, even when it was sitting idle on the Windows desktop. It's well ventilated, but the air coming out of the vent on the right hand side was hotter than I expected. No white smoke when you rev it up, at least. Acer's power management software seems to bypass AMD's Cool'n'Quiet power management system. You can set up your own custom profiles, but by default the Ferrari 5000 will run at full speed when connected to a wall socket, hence all the extra heat produced.

The processor is paired up to 2GB of 667MHz DDR 2 memory configured in dual-channel mode. This is something that previous generation of mobile AMD processors haven't been able to support due to the usage of Socket 754. Not so with the S1 socket used in the Ferrari 5000.

It's worth noting that the HyperTransport bus is still running at 1.6GHz rather than the 2GHz that the CPU's desktop counterparts operate at, which means that the Turion X2 parts aren't quite comparable to a desktop Athlon 64 X2 processor with the same clock speed.

Interestingly, Acer is using the ATI Xpress 1150 chipset in the Ferrari 5000, which features integrated graphics among its features. But fear not, as Acer doesn't use the integrated graphics core but an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB of dedicated graphics memory. A further 256MB of system memory can also be allocated to graphics duty if need be thanks to ATI's HyperMemory technology. The core of this specific Mobility Radeon X1600 is clocked at 500MHz while the memory is operating at an effective frequency of 980MHz.

upcoming window

Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) will be the next iteration of Microsoft Windows, an operating system produced by Microsoft Corporation for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs, netbooks^[1] and media center PCs.^[2] Representatives of Microsoft estimated in 2007 that Windows 7 would have a three-year development time frame following the release of its predecessor Windows Vista, but that the release date would ultimately be determined by product quality.^[3]

Unlike its predecessor, Windows 7 is intended to be an incremental upgrade to the Windows line, with the goal of being compatible with applications and hardware with which Windows Vista is already compatible.^[4] Presentations given by the company in 2008 have focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup,^[5] and performance improvements. Some applications that have been included with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, most notably Windows Movie Maker and Windows Photo Gallery, will not be included in Windows 7, but will instead be offered separately as part of the freeware Windows Live Essentials suite

PlayStation 3

he PlayStation 3 (officially marketed PLAYSTATION 3,^[5] commonly abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment, and the successor to the PlayStation 2 as part of the PlayStation series. The PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

A major feature that distinguishes the PlayStation 3 from its predecessors is its unified online gaming service, the PlayStation Network,^[6] which contrasts with Sony's former policy of relying on game developers for online play.^[7] Other major features of the console include its robust multimedia capabilities,^[8] connectivity with the PlayStation Portable,^[9] and its use of a high-definition optical disc format, Blu-ray Disc, as its primary storage medium.^[10] The PS3 was also the first Blu-ray 2.0-compliant Blu-ray player on the market.^[11]

The PlayStation 3 was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan,^[12] November 17, 2006 in North America,^[13] and March 23, 2007 in Europe and Oceania.^[14][15] Two SKUs were available at launch: a basic model with a 20 GB hard drive (HDD), and a premium model with a 60 GB hard drive and several additional features^[16] (the 20 GB model was not released in Europe or Oceania).^[17] Since then, several revisions have been made to the console's available models

Xbox 360

he Xbox 360 is the second video game console produced by Microsoft, and the successor to the Xbox. The Xbox 360 competes with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

A prominent feature of the Xbox 360 is its integrated Xbox Live service that allows players to compete online and download content such as arcade games, game demos, trailers, TV shows, and movies. Major features of the console include its Windows Media Center multimedia capabilities, mandatory support of high definition in all games, movie rentals and game downloads from its online marketplace and the ability to watch HD DVD movies with an add-on drive.

The Xbox 360 was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information divulged later that month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The console sold out completely upon release in all regions except in Japan,^[3][4][5] and, as of January 5, 2009, 28 million units have been sold worldwide, according to Microsoft.^[1] The Xbox 360 is currently available in three configurations: the "Arcade", the "Pro", and the "Elite" console, each with its own selection of accessories.

Air Guitar With Infra-Red Strings to Become Christmas Best-Seller

A toy was developed for air guitarists who feel that there's something missing. The Guitar Rock Star is a gadget that features invisible infra-red strings that one can strum.

The toy's head and neck look just like the ones on a real guitar. Air Guitar uses a laser technology, so those who enjoying playing the role of a rock star could play along with 8 songs that are pre-recorded in the device.

The Guitar Rock Star is available for 15 pounds. It includes an input and output jacks. Thus one can hook the invisible guitar up to headphones or speakers. The toy has already been called Christmas best-seller.

"Everyone has the chance to live out their dreams as a rock legend this Christmas. All they have to do is turn on Guitar Rock Star, grab the electronic guitar neck, finger the frets and strum the infra-red strings to play," said Martyn Ayres, from toymakers Tomy.

This device is the latest invention in computer games, being accompanied by Guitar Hero and Rock Band. It is worth mentioning that Guitar Hero hit the market in 2005 and over 21 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide. In 2007 MTV Games launched Rock Band. In order to complete the band the company added toy drums and a mic to the guitar and bass.

World's First Computer-Controlled Heliostat System for Heating and Lighting

A company called Practical Solar managed to create the world's first heliostat system that is controlled by a computer. With its help the sunlight provides enough energy for heating, lighting and other purposes.

The computer-controlled system takes advantage of the solar light even when it doesn't reach your house directly. One can install the heliostat system using only hand tools. The entire hard work is performed by the high-tech tracking technology software. The program regulates the focus and the angle while the sun moves.

Cutting down costs and saving energy use are the two main advantages of a heliostat, which can be used to direct natural sunlight in through a window. You can also use a number of heliostats in order to reflect natural lighting into a room.

When there's bright sunlight outside, one heliostat generates visible light that is equal to forty 100-watt incandescent light bulbs. In addition, the sunlight can cover an entire room in contrast to a limited range of a bulb. With the help of two heliostats one can generate about 600 watts of solar thermal energy. If a thermal receiver is added to accumulate heat then there will be enough energy to light up the house during the night.

With the help of individual heliostats you can have several targets, meaning that a heliostat can be used for a variety of tasks in different times, during different seasons. You can change the targets on demand or automatically with the help of timer function. It is worth mentioning that one heliostat uses less that 1/3,000 of the energy it generates. One driver box can control 200 heliostats.

Scientist Developed Formula for the Perfect Penalty Kick

Experts managed to come up with a formula for the ideal penalty kick in soccer. Specialists at Liverpool John Moores University analyzed hours of footage in order to explain what makes a shot unstoppable.

They say that the speed of the shot should be not less than 65mph and the player must have a run-up of 5 to 6 paces starting from the edge of the 18-yeard line. In addition, the soccer player has to approach the ball at a specific angle, and namely 20 to 30 degrees.

The ball must cross the goal line at 0.5 meters below the cross bar and the same distance inside either post. According to the researchers, the formula ensures 100 percent success.

To be able to create the formula for the perfect penalty kick, researchers used Sky Sports HD cameras, which were mounted at the back of goal nets. With their help the team managed to study spot kicks, reports The Sun.

Professor Tim Cable, director of sport and exercise sciences, stated: "Many factors make up a 'perfect penalty'. But we've finally nailed the key elements."

Koenigsegg CCX

The Koenigsegg CCX is a mid-engined roadster from Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg. The CCX has been engineered to comply with the U.S. regulation and market demands^[2] and is an evolutionary design that replaced the Koenigsegg CCR.

CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupe X; the X commemorating the 10th anniversary, (being the Roman numeral for ten), of the completion and test drive of the first CC vehicle in 1996.^[2]

The CCX was first unveiled on February 28, 2006 at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show although its existence was announced earlier.^[3][4] A derivative known as the CCXR is available, the difference being that CCXR's engine is tuned to run on biofuel. The different fuel and tune allows the CCXR to produce 25% more power than the CCX.
On March 19, 2009, Koenigesegg announced, via the Cars UK ^[26]site, that production of the CCXR Edition will be limited to just four cars, and that of the CCX Edition to only two. This was partly in response to the decline in the world economy, but also because Koenigsegg are now committed to an environmentally responsible future, as demosnstrated by the Quant, which was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009.

Pagani Zonda

The Pagani Zonda is a mid-engined sports car produced by Pagani in Italy. It debuted in 1999 and continues through the present, with production proceeding at roughly 10 cars per year. As of September, 2008, 95 Zondas had been built. Both 2-seat coupe and convertible versions have been produced. Construction is mainly of carbon fibre.

Some early Zonda engineering was done by Formula One champion, Juan Manuel Fangio. The car was originally to be named for him, the "Fangio F1", but the name was changed upon his death in 1995, renamed after an air current above Argentina.

2009/2010 Pagani Project C9

The Zonda successor, initially referred to as the Zonda R, is believed to have larger air intakes and a wider front grille. According to EVO, this new Pagani supercar will feature a M275 AMG twin turbo V12 along with a brand new sequential gearbox provided by ZF.

iPhone

The iPhone is an internet-connected multimedia smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a flush multi-touch screen and a minimal hardware interface. The device does not have a physical keyboard, so a virtual keyboard is rendered on the touch screen instead. The iPhone functions as a camera phone (including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to an iPod), and an Internet client (with email, web browsing, and local Wi-Fiquad-band GSM with EDGE; the second generation also adds UMTS with HSDPA.^[9] connectivity). The first-generation phone hardware was

Apple announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007.^[10] The announcement was preceded by rumors and speculation that circulated for several months.^[11] The iPhone was initially introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007, and has since been introduced worldwide. It was named Time magazine's "Invention of the Year" in 2007.^[12] On July 11, 2008, the iPhone 3G was released. It supports faster 3G data speeds and Assisted GPS.^[9] On March 17, 2009, Apple announced the iPhone firmware version 3.0, due to be released in summer 2009

Window ubuntu

Ubuntu, (pronounced [ùbúntú], or "Ooh-boon-too"^{[citation needed]}), is a computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux. Ubuntu's goals include providing an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease of installation. Ubuntu has been rated as the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop, claiming approximately 30% of desktop Linux installations in 2007.^[2]

Ubuntu is composed of free and open source software distributed under various licenses, especially the GNU General Public License (GPL) so that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Ubuntu is sponsored by the British based company Canonical Ltd., owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Instead of selling Ubuntu for profit, Canonical creates revenue by selling technical support. By keeping Ubuntu free software and open source, Canonical is able to take advantage of the talents of outside developers in Ubuntu's constituent components without developing the entire operating system itself (which is based primarily on current Linux kernels).

Canonical endorses and provides support for four additional Ubuntu-like operating systems: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, (a subproject and add-on for Ubuntu, designed for school environments and home users),^[3] and Ubuntu JeOS (pronounced "Juice", a stripped-down version of Ubuntu optimized for virtual appliances).^[4]

Canonical releases new versions of Ubuntu every six months and supports Ubuntu for eighteen months by submitting security fixes, patches to critical bugs and including minor updates to programs. LTS (Long Term Support) releases, which occur every two years,^[5] are supported for three years on the desktop and five years for servers.^[6] The current version of Ubuntu, Intrepid Ibex, was released on October 30, 2008, and the upcoming version, Jaunty Jackalope, will be released on April 23, 2009. The version after Jaunty will be Karmic Koala, which will possess several advanced features like Eucalyptus.

Next Generation Games to be Controlled by Your Emotions

Moving the objects in a game with your thoughts only may not be a dream anymore. Emotiv Systems' technology takes a huge step to create a software that will use emotions and thoughts turning them into game moves.

Computer interface experts are the first to change the way computer and people interact. The founders of Emotiv Systems claim they designed innovative interface that interprets human thoughts, expressions and sub-conscious emotions to convert them to manipulations with software.

The interface is able to "read your mind", like detecting your facial expression or your mind actions. With the hep of space-age headset and software, computer can interpret your brainwaves transforming them into actions in a game.

Nam Do, co-founder and CEO of Emotiv Systems, said that this innovation is a breakthrough that will take human-computer interaction to a considerably higher level, making it as lifelike as possible.

Emotiv Development Kit (EDK) was released for game developers who could perfect virtual gaming world by applying the ultra-high tech. EDK can detect and proceed dozens of thoughts that will allow gamers play without touching the keyboard or a controller.

Today's games become more and more sophisticated, requiring interfaces that will be more intuitive thus making the gaming experience more vivid and realistic.

Latest Invention - New Exoskeleton from Honda

In 2008 scientists managed to invent the first robotic exoskeleton. A number of these devices have already been sold. One of the most advanced robotic exoskeleton was the full-body HAL robotic suit, which represented the latest invention of the Japanese company Cyberdyne.

Though several robotic exoskeletons went on sale, the technology still remains far from mature. The majority of strength-boosting suits use electrodes in order to estimate the electrical activity in the muscles of an individual. The gained data is used to make sure that the suit indeed helps a person by moving in the same direction but with greater power.

According to the officials from Cyberdyne, HAL is able to increase the strength of a person by two to ten times. However, this system may have certain problems related to the calculation and translation of electrical activity in a person's muscles. This mainly refers to the confusing electrical signals provided by several muscles moving simultaneously in one part of the human body.

Scientists Developed Flexible and Transparent Display

According to a new research published in "New Journal of Physics", there will soon be a new technological revolution in the field of screen displays. Researchers from Sony together with Max Planck Institute for the first time presented flexible optically assessed organic light emitting displays that work on red or IR-A light upconversion (UC).

Soon it will be possible to buy computers that can be folded and stored in a pocket. People will also have the opportunity to use newspaper display technology, which will allow uploading daily news to a handy display device.

There are several advantages that all organic upconversion displays have over traditional devices currently used for projection displays and televisions, and namely these multicolor UC displays are see-through and bendable. In addition, they use ultra low excitation intensity (red or infra-red) and they don't have speckles. These devices show fast response times and an almost unlimited viewing angle. They also represent multilayer displays and their size is limited only by the dimensions of the substrates

The announcement about OLED display screens came in 2006. However, due to the fact that the company faced several problems linked with the size, resolution and configuration of the organic compounds, Sony did not come to the market with the design of its gadget. The new technology developed for optically excited organic emissive displays is clear from this problem, which is why it provides opportunities for additional applications.

In conclusion the researchers stated: "To the best of our knowledge we demonstrate for the first time a versatile color all-organic and transparent UC-display. The reported displays are also flexible and have excellent brightness."

GeForce 200 Series

he GeForce 200 Series is the tenth generation of NVIDIA's GeForce graphics processing units. The series also represents the continuation of the company's unified shader architecture introduced with the GeForce 8 Series and the GeForce 9 Series.

The GeForce GTX 280 and 260 are based on the same processor core. During the manufacturing process, GTX chips are binned and separated through defect testing of the core's logic functionality. Those that fail to meet the GTX 280 hardware specification are re-tested and binned as GTX 260 (which is specified with fewer stream processors and a narrower memory bus). In late 2008, in order to create more parity between the GTX 260 and the competing HD 4870, Nvidia re-released the GTX 260 with 216 stream processors up from 192. Effectively, there are two GTX 260 cards in production with non-trivial performance differences.

As of June 2008^[update], the G200 is the largest commercial GPU ever constructed. It consists of 1.4 billion transistors covering a 576mm² die surface area built on a 65nm process.^[1] To date, the G200 is the largest CMOS-logic chip that has been fabricated at the TSMC foundry.

Windows Vista

Windows Vista is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media center PCs. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename "Longhorn."^[4] Development was completed on November 8, 2006; over the following three months it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide,^[5] and was made available for purchase and download from Microsoft's website.^[6] The release of Windows Vista came more than five years after the introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, the longest time span between successive releases of Microsoft Windows desktop operating systems.

Windows Vista contains many changes and new features, including an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for software developers to write applications than with the traditional Windows API.

Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.^[7] One common criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 a company-wide "Trustworthy Computing initiative" which aims to incorporate security work into every aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft stated that it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 above finishing Windows Vista, thus delaying its completion.^[8]

While these new features and security improvements have garnered positive reviews, Vista has also been the target of much criticism and negative press. Criticism of Windows Vista has targeted its high system requirements, its more restrictive licensing terms, the inclusion of a number of new digital rights management technologies aimed at restricting the copying of protected digital media, lack of compatibility with some pre-Vista hardware and software, and the number of authorization prompts for User Account Control. As a result of these and other issues, Windows Vista had seen initial adoption and satisfaction rates lower than Windows XP.^[9] However, as of January 2009, it has been announced that Vista usage had surpassed Microsoft’s pre-launch two-year-out expectations of achieving 200 million users by an estimated 150 million

Latest Invention - New Exoskeleton from Honda

In 2008 scientists managed to invent the first robotic exoskeleton. A number of these devices have already been sold. One of the most advanced robotic exoskeleton was the full-body HAL robotic suit, which represented the latest invention of the Japanese company Cyberdyne.

Though several robotic exoskeletons went on sale, the technology still remains far from mature. The majority of strength-boosting suits use electrodes in order to estimate the electrical activity in the muscles of an individual. The gained data is used to make sure that the suit indeed helps a person by moving in the same direction but with greater power.

Vulture - Unmanned Aircraft

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of United States is working to develop an unmanned aircraft that is able to stay in air for a period of 5 years at a time. It is one of the most recent inventions of world.
Officials of DARPA has revealed that this aircraft will be known as VULTURE due to its Persistent Pseudo-Satellite Capability . It means that this aircraft will be able to fly over a single area, communicating or performing analysis for years at a time.

Basically Aircraft operates just like satellites, but the major difference is that these are not regulated by orbital mechanics. You can understand Vulture as a Pseudo-Satellite, which operates in the stratosphere and not in the low Earth orbit. This would provide a 65 dB upgrading in communications capability and will increase on board sensor resolution.
