Remember those eccentric ASUS Android tablets at CES? Yeah, it's all a bit of a blur for us as well, but turns out both the Eee Pad Transformer and Slider prototypes just made it to the BETT (British Educational Training and Technology) Show in London this morning, so we decided to wander along to get our hands dirty again . Sadly, the Transformer had a bit of a rough ride from Vegas and remained dormant, but we were still able to admire its sturdy keyboard dock with great key press travel. And in case you've forgotten, said dock is also an external battery that doubles the juice up to 16 hours.

L'association de service à domicile (L'ADMR d'Uzès), a été créée en 1990, par Marie-Blanche Vezon, pour les familles avec enfants en bas âge surtout, ainsi que pour les personnes âgées. Les débuts ont été très difficiles, car il y eut peu d'aide financière aux familles et encore moins aux personnes âgées. Maintenant, l'équipe de bénévoles uzétiens de l'aide à domicile, bien implantée dans la localité, connaît les habitants, les institutions et l'économie. C'est cette équipe qui cerne les attentes, qui trouve la réponse adaptée à la demande, qui obtient les meilleurs financements, qui recrute les salariés et organise leur travail.

Volvos elbil krockad i Detroit | Motor | SvD
Volvo har krocktestat en C30 Electric i frontkrock på samma sätt Euro NCAP gör – förskjuten så att 40 procent av förarsidan träffar barriären. Hastigheten är 64 km/h. ”Vi är först i världen med att visa hur en säker elbil ser ut efter en krock”, förklarar Volvo Personvagnars vd Stefan Jacoby vid en presskonferens idag måndag, 10:e januari. Med en orangefärgad kraschad C30 Electric vill Volvo visa att det går att bygga eldrivna bilar där både batterier och högvoltskablar är helt intakta även efter en kraftig frontalkrock. Bilen har körts med 40 procent av fronten in i krockbarriären med en hastighet på 64 km/h (45 mph).New findings could lead to new treatments for the 95 percent of Parkinson’s cases with no known cause Just 5 percent of Parkinson’s disease cases can be explained by genetic mutation, while the rest have no known cause. But a new discovery by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center may begin to explain why the vast majority of Parkinson’s patients develop the progressive neurodegenerative disease. This week in The Journal of Neuroscience, the researchers demystified a process that leads to the death of brain cells ““ or neurons ““ in Parkinson’s patients. When researchers blocked the process, the neurons survived.

We have to respect the bounty we have to conserve it, all the while enjoying it. Because something like a failed blowout preventer could change all of that in an instant. Wendy Wilson Billiot, owner of Wetland Tour and Guide Service and Camp DuLarge, talks to her 14 year-old son, Seth Billiot, about the changes in their lives after the BP oil spill. Recorded in Chauvin, LA October 12, 2010.

20 nya processorer i 500 datorer - Computer Sweden
Den främsta nyheten i andra generationens Intel Core-processorer är att dessa fått inbyggda grafikfunktioner vilket ska innebära en rad förbättringar för video, 3d och multimedia. Som exempel på detta nämner Intel att man kan konvertera ett fyraminuters videoklipp i hd-kvalitet till en Ipod på endast 16 sekunder. Totalt kommer Intel med 20 nya processorer i serierna Core i7, i5 och i3. Bland de första leverantörer som står klara med bärbara och stationära datorer med nya Intelprocessorer märks Fujitsu. Företagets produktchef Bo Lennström uppger att samtliga tolv nya datorer får mer prestanda samtidigt som de blir mer energieffektiva.
Protecting Data on Portable Drives - PCWorld Business Center
It is almost mind-boggling how much data can be stored on a portable drive or USB thumb drive. As convenient as it is it to be able to carry 1TB of data in your pocket, though, portable drives are also easily lost or stolen, and gallivanting about can take its toll on the data. It is important to protect the portable drives and the data they contain. For mobile workers, smaller PC form factors such as netbooks provide lighter weight and longer battery life, but generally have smaller hard drives than desktops or larger laptops. Cloud storage solutions such as Box.net and Syncplicity offer a means of storing data for easy access, but that access relies on being connected to the Web, and comes with potential security concerns of trusting sensitive data to be stored on the Internet by a third-party.

San Francisco, California (CNN) -- Two prevailing theories for how we will access the internet in the future hinge on the success of small plastic gadgets called MiFis. The devices, many of them smaller than a smartphone, are similar to the wireless routers in many homes except they don't need to be plugged into anything. They connect to a cellular carrier's data network. Once the battery is charged, a MiFi can be taken anywhere, and it provides a Wi-Fi signal to computers or iPods in a nearby vicinity. In one of those future scenarios, each family would have their own one of these gadgets. This can be more economical than subscribing to separate data plans for each cell phone and tablet you buy.

Twitter beta-tested a spine. On Friday, it emerged that the U.S. government recently got a court order demanding that Twitter turn over information about a number of people connected to WikiLeaks, including founder Julian Assange, accused leaker Pfc. Bradley Manning, former WikiLeaks spokeswoman Birgitta Jonsdottir and WikiLeaks activist Jacob Appelbaum. The request was approved by a magistrate judge in Alexandria, Virginia, where a federal grand jury is looking into charges against WikiLeaks related to its acquisition and publishing of U.S.

CES: Smart Grid, Smarter Home - Technology Review
It's been quite a while since appliances had any prominence at a high tech show: images of women immaculately dressed in evening gowns while demonstrating the magic of microwave oven technology at the 1964 World's Fair spring to mind. When LG discussed its new technology for fridges and washing machines alongside its smartphones and Internet-enabled TVs at its press conference on Wednesday, there were actually some sniggers from the audience. But after many years of producing essentially commodity products, appliance manufacturers are gearing up for a rejuvenated market as electrical utilities begin to roll out smart meters and homeowners are encouraged to install or upgrade to appliances that can communicate with these meters.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Archeologists have unearthed the oldest wine-making facility ever found, using biochemical techniques to identify a dry red vintage made about 6,000 years ago in what is now southern Armenia. The excavation paints a picture of a complex society where mourners tasted a special vintage made at a caveside cemetery, the researchers reported on Tuesday in the Journal of Archaeological Science. "This is the world's oldest known installation to make wine," Gregory Areshian of the University of California Los Angeles, who helped lead the study, said in a telephone interview. Carbon dating showed a desiccated grape vine found near a wine press was grown around 4000 BC, his team reported.
