The 9 Best Gifts All Techies Want

Much like trying to buy a new camera for an experienced photographer, the chances are they know exactly which piece of kit they want, and wouldn’t be truly satisfied if you got them a different brand or model. But, that’s not to say that it’s impossible to buy for them, or that you should just leave them off your Christmas shopping list altogether – we’ve some great ideas to try and help you out.

How do you program a computer with 10 terabytes of Ram? 3D Printer Buyer's Guide. Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone. SAMSUNG is hard at work on a smartphone with a plastic display capable of being rolled up, according to a patent filed by the technology giant.

Samsung is building a revolutionary ROLL-UP smartphone

Samsung’s love for devices that can be folded, twisted, rolled or otherwise manipulated is nothing new. Well, the South Korean company has recently filed yet another patent application pertaining to the field but, in a first, this patent is all about the interaction side of the screen twisting. As per the patent, the folding or rolling action — depending upon the device in question — should do one of several possible things, nearly all of which are concerned with triggering interaction with at least one other application. The potential uses of this, are of course many and varied. A Guide to Buying Your First Laser Cutter. If there’s one tool that’s coveted by Makerspaces more than any other, it has to be the laser cutter.

A Guide to Buying Your First Laser Cutter

These high-precision machines can produce both functional and beautiful items. Their versatility allows anyone with access to one to quickly go into production with his or her designs. Go to your local indie craft fair and I bet you’ll find laser-cut jewelry. Craft stores are stocked full of laser-cut scrapbooking items. Even big-box stores are not immune to the awesomeness of laser-cut items, offering laser-cut window curtains, holiday ornaments, fixtures, and more.

The power of the laser cutter comes from its ability to cut through a wide range of materials with high precision. Building structures with laser-cut parts has become a well-defined practice. Google Says Its Quantum Computer Really Works - "It's 100 Million Times Faster Than PC" If you follow the developments being made in the world of quantum computing, you must have heard the name of D-Wave systems.

Google Says Its Quantum Computer Really Works - "It's 100 Million Times Faster Than PC"

This controversial company calls itself the first company to make commercially available quantum computers. Two years ago, NASA and Google bought a D-Wave 2X quantum computing system and the internet giant seems pretty satisfied with it. Google has said that it has proof that D-Wave 2X really uses quantum physics to solve complex problems. Google's quantum computer is 100 million times faster than your laptop. Google has been sharing more details about its quantum computing project, which it runs in partnership with NASA.

Google's quantum computer is 100 million times faster than your laptop

The tech company says its mammoth D-Wave 2X quantum computing machine has been figuring out algorithms at 100,000,000 times the speed that a traditional computer chip can, and that could make a huge difference in the processing power at our disposal in the future. In quantum computing (closely linked to quantum mechanics), quantum bits (or 'qubits') can simultaneously hold values of 1, 0, or both, rather than being set to 1 or 0 as traditional electronic bits are.

The qubits are tiny particles suspended in temperatures just above absolute zero, and as more qubits are added, the available processing power goes up exponentially. Big data problems, such as weather forecasts or chemical analysis, could be dealt with much faster through the power of quantum computing. That's an impressive figure, but we're not quite in the age of quantum computing just yet.

This new 'skyscraper' chip could make computers run 1,000 times faster. Engineers in the US have invented a new computer chip that replaces the silicon in conventional chips with nano-materials that can be stacked, changing the landscape from a resource-heavy single-storey layout to a more efficient ‘skyscraper’ approach.

Their new multi-layer chip, called N3XT, is designed to break data bottlenecks by laying processors and memory chips on top of each other like floors in a skyscraper, rather than side by side. "When you combine higher speed with lower energy use, N3XT systems outperform conventional approaches by a factor of a thousand," says one of the researchers, H. S. The Qwerkywriter Bluetooth Keyboard » Review. Monster RAM: Here's Samsung's New Crazy 128GB RAM Chip. Your WiFi Router Has a Superpower You Didn’t Know.

The electrical engineers from the University of California has found a way by which the number of people in a room could be calculated by the WiFi power measurement.

Your WiFi Router Has a Superpower You Didn’t Know

This reminds me of the mobile spying technology used by Batman and Fox in the Dark Knight movie. “Our approach can estimate the number of people walking in an area, based on only the received power measurements of a WiFi link,” said Mostofi, a professor from the University of California. With this approach, we don’t need any WiFi enabled electronic communication device to count the people. WindChill - A Food Preservation Unit.

Google’s Project Vault: A Secure Computer On A Micro SD Card. Google’s Project Vault is something equivalent to these security measures and aims to protect user’s important data. Talking of the analogies, the usual SIM card is something that is already present in a phone and protects stuff important to carriers. The Vault houses an ARM processor running ARTOS – a secure operating system focused on security and user privacy. It features NFC chip and antenna to ensure the correct authorization.

Watch: This new type of 3D printing was inspired by Terminator 2. This new 3D printing technology looks like science fiction. But it's entirely real — the scientists who created it took inspiration from the futuristic liquid metal in the movie Terminator 2. Joseph DeSimone and the other University of North Carolina scientists who describe the technology in a new paper published today in Science call it "continuous liquid interface production.
