Newsbeat's Jonathan Blake takes a look at the robots of the future Experts predict that an ageing world population and continuing global military conflicts will be the two main drivers of robot design and function in the coming years. Speaking at the Robo Business 2009 Conference and Expo in Boston, Tandy Trower, the general manager of Microsoft Robotics, noted that in the next 40 years, the number of pensioners - those aged 65 and over - is set to increase by two billion worldwide.
With that ageing will come the need to help families and other caregivers cope with decreased mobility and chronic diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Mr Trower said that robots could have a "profound impact" when it comes to helping seniors communicate with family members and each other, or reminding someone to take their medications. This is not as far away as you might think, judging by some of the robots wandering around the Expo. Mr Trower noted that the Japanese might beat them to it. Robowar. Will the UK get a sizzling summer? The Met Office is forecasting a barbecue summer after two summers of rain. Given the shortcomings in past summer forecasts, how much credence should we give this one? Remember the summer of 2007?
On 11 April of that year, the Met Office chirped: "The summer is yet again likely to be warmer than normal. There are no indications of a particularly wet summer. " We, the consumers of British weather, got downpours and floods. When assessing that summer's stats, the forecasters concluded: "The UK mean temperature was average. In April 2008, the Met Office projected: "Summer temperatures are likely to be warmer than average and rainfall near or above average. " That didn't prepare people for one of the wettest summers on record, with high winds and low sunshine.
In both instances, meteorologists failed to predict the movements of the jet stream - the high-level wind that races round the world 10km above the Earth's surface.

Posted by CS6 News in Adobe CS5 News, Adobe InDesign CS5Jul 22nd, 2010 | 3 responses In the world of modern technologies digital magazines tend to replace print editions. This trend has become even more topical with introduction of the Apple iPad and development of tablet devices in general.
Many digital magazines are created with Adobe InDesign CS5 software and additional publishing technologies. Now Adobe announces the future Digital Magazine Solution which is going to enable publishers to create immersive content for magazines that can be viewed across multiple platforms including the Apple iPad. These new technologies, including tools for creating advanced interactivity (360° image rotations, image panning/zooming, among others), and bundling digital magazine layouts into the new “issue” format for consumption in the Digital Content Viewer, will be available for download at Adobe Labs later this summer.
