Stunning High-Speed Liquid Photography

noreply@blogger.com (Amarjit Singh) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:32:00 +0000

It takes great skill (and good high speed photography equipment) to create such frozen-in-time compositions, revealing the inherent energy, the dynamics of flowing water and the beauty of it all! Some artists substitute water with more viscous liquids, producing even more lava-lamp-like effects. But often just playing with coloring and light is enough to make an effective picture. In this article, we will try to cover a large variety of stunning high-speed liquid photography.

Danger Bomb Clock gets you up and going with a bang

noreply@blogger.com (Amarjit Singh) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:35:00 +0000

Need a little extra prodding or hours of cajoling before you get out of bed? Need to dress in time, avoid wolfing down your breakfast and causing near-death encounters trying to catch the last morning shuttle to work? Then, here is an exciting new option for you to wake up with a bang: literally!
The Danger Bomb alarm clock works on a simple principle for arousing sleepy-heads: it scares you awake! Have not heard of that one yet?
Not quiet a bomb, but aspiring for explosive power status, the Danger Bomb alarm clock lets out a powerful array of continuous explosion sounds that need to be disabled physically by following a light-up code (which is reset every morning) and by unhooking the correct wire! A whole new perspective to getting an incentive to wake up every morning on time is not it not having to defuse a bomber-type alarm clock that yells for attention?

Latest from Kingston – 128 GB Flash Disk

noreply@blogger.com (Amarjit Singh) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:10:00 +0000

Kingston Technology First to Market with a 128GB Capacity USB Drive

Kingston Technology Europe recently announced the release of the Kingston DataTraveler 200, the world’s first 128GB USB Flash drive.

The Kingston DataTraveler 200 provides users with the option to password protect their data, as well as giving consumers and business users the flexibility to carry vast amounts of data with them at all times.

“The DataTraveler 200’s immense 128GB storage capability lets users store as much data as 182 music CDs or up to 27 DVD movies. Business users benefit as they can carry around large databases or files whilst they are out of the office,” said Jim Selby, European Product Marketing Manager, Kingston Technology.

“The password protection facility helps safeguard data and requires no admin rights, making the DataTraveler 200 a terrific solution for the home or office.” The Kingston 128 GB USB Drive arrives just short of a decade after Trek Technology and IBM launched their first USB Flash Drives commercially. IBM's USB flash drive became available in late 2000 and had a storage capacity of 8 MB.

USD 80000 per Song Download

noreply@blogger.com (Amarjit Singh) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:09:00 +0000

A US woman has been ordered to pay $1.92 million for downloading 24 tracks from the Kazaa file sharing site - $80,000 per song. The original trial awarded over just over $9000 per song in damages to the record companies but instead got awarded close to ten times more in a retrial. The funny thing in this case is the fact that a much lower settlement offer was on the cards but seemingly refused. The mother of four children against whom the penalties have been secured is defiant in saying there is no way she can ever pay that much and that the record companies will have a hard time getting it from her. She downloaded 24 songs from Kazaa.

As ridiculous as this sounds and as wrong as online piracy is, the record labels themselves are not entirely without fault here. The Compact disk is outdated as a music distribution medium in the Internet age. Yes, many online music shops have come of age, but their pricing (we are talking about legal ones here) models are still structured to compete with compact disc and DVD. You have to ask what the logic is in that. Rest of the Story Here

OS in a browser

noreply@blogger.com (Amarjit Singh) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:34:00 +0000

They may not be quite ready for prime time but web-based operating systems are starting to look the part.

As high-speed bandwidth becomes increasingly commonplace, more and more software is being migrated from the desktop to the Internet. Instead of being installed on each and every desktop that requires it, applications such as Google Docs and soon Microsoft Word, will be hosted on the Internet and run by users in their browser.

But, as far as hosted software goes, individual applications "in the cloud" is just a start. Now there are a growing number of operating systems - entire operating systems - that are being made available through a browser. While many of these are still in their formative stages, a couple stand out as good examples of what is possible when bandwidth is big enough to run an entire operating system remotely.

G.ho.st (http://g.ho.st)

G.ho.st, or the Globally Hosted Operating System, is a free, full-featured virtual operating system that has all of the tools most users would expect in a desktop without actually having to install the OS on their computer. With a free account G.ho.st includes basic tools such as an email client, word processor and notepad as more advanced tools such as a multimedia player. The office suite component of G.ho.st - such as a word processor and spreadsheet application - is provided by another well-known online office suites: Zoho Office and Google Docs. Users can set up their login details for these services and use them seamlessly from within G.ho.st.

Most users will feel at home with G.ho.st as it has a feel not unlike Windows even if the window decorations are slightly different. The operating system even includes a wide selection of Flash-based games to while away the boring parts of the day. Documents created can be stored in the "Ghost drive", a repository of files that can be accessed from anywhere.

A limited guest account is available to test the system but most features require an account which is free.

EyeOS (http://eyeos.info)

EyeOS, an open source project, is available in two versions: one hosted on the Internet and the other available as a download to be installed by users themselves. The quickest way to get a sense of EyeOS is to visit the eyeos.info hosted version, create an account and login.

EyeOS is very streamlined and runs suitably quickly over most Internet connections. Unlike G.ho.st, which appears to include every possible application imaginable, EyeOS is significantly stripped down and because of that is a better performer than G.ho.st. And yet, despite it's relatively sparse appearance, EyeOS still has a healthy collection of applications to choose from.

The office suite applications, EyeDocs and so on, are streamlined applications and are not full Microsoft Office replacements but are more than adequate for for creating documents and simple spreadsheets. Despite being web-based the applications are quick to respond to commands and although there is some lag on opening documents, once they are open editing is speedy and easy. EyeOS also includes support for common keyboard shortcuts which makes editing documents very quick.

Besides an Internet-hosted version, EyeOS is also available as a download which can be installed on a local webserver and shared among multiple internal users. The locally-hosted version of EyeOS is noticeably faster than the Internet-based one and is an interesting option for a company that wants to streamline application support. The download to install EyeOS is just over 3MB in size and includes all the basic applications.

EyeOS also includes a mobile edition of the desktop which can be accessed using most Internet-enabled phones. The mobile interface is streamlined even further and is designed so users can access their documents quickly.

Web-based operating systems may not yet be commonplace but G.ho.st and EyeOS are showing what is possible and what may become more common in years to come.

Roll Up Waterproof Keyboard

noreply@blogger.com (Amarjit Singh) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 08:22:00 +0000

Writing endless essays and dissertations, not to mention cranking out interminable spreadsheets can discombobulate one mercilessly. Or, to use contemporary parlance, do one's head in. So it's no wonder that one should seek a distraction now and again. Like making a cuppa. Watching telly. Or doing all manner of diverting activity. Anything, in fact, but real work.

Now, a device has been invented that is the distraction. And shocking pink it is, too. This frankly astonishing keyboard is bendable, cleanable, droppable and, most importantly, typable. Think of it as your flexible friend, able to roll up and go anywhere, with silent keys for extra stealthy late-night typing and a fabulous back-lit pink for making extra-fluffy finger puppets on the ceiling.

Best of all, there's no complex installation process or software needed for typing on the go. With pure plug and play technology at its heart, you're off and glowing in no time. In short, it's pure girly QWERTY joy in silicone form - practically indestructible and a fetching shade of the pinkest, bubblegummest pink imaginable. Another giant leap towards the seamless woman-machine interface.
