Volvos elbil krockad i Detroit | Motor. 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). Resultatet talar för sig självt: alla elektrisk huvudkomponenter som batteri, kraftelektronik och högspänningskablar är oskadade efter krocken. Krockprov med Volvo C30 Electric – frontalkrock med stolpe i 48 km/h. "Vi visar det här eftersom det oerhört viktigt inte bara för dem som redan åker i en elbil, utan också för dem som funderar på att skaffa en. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Stories from the Gulf. 20 nya processorer i 500 datorer. 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.
Det innebär exempelvis att de stationära modellerna nu är knäpptysta eftersom de inte drar någon ström alls i viloläge. Bland de nya modellerna märks Esprimo E900, P900 och superkompakta Q900 som dessutom är Fujitsus tredje serie med stöd för usb 3-standarden. Bland de bärbara nyheterna märks Lifebook P701 med en skärm på 12 tum och vikt på 1,5 kilo. 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. The other solution is to use a portable USB hard drive. What If the Data is Corrupted or Drive Fails? For starters--buy two.
What If My Laptop Bag Gets Shot with a 12-Gauge? SoundCloud - January News. Is MiFi the future of wireless internet -- or a fad? | KAJ18.com. Jan 6, 2011 9:44 PM by CNN Wire Staff 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. Some families have found this especially effective for staying connected on road trips or in hotels that don't offer free Wi-Fi.
AT&T introduced its first MiFi device on Wednesday. Telecoms have been hot and cold about which connectivity methods to promote. MP3-länkar som M3U (32 kbps) - Direktlänkar - Support. CES: Smart Grid, Smarter Home 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.

You only have a couple of websites open on your screen and yet the data activity light of the modem / router is constantly blinking indicating that one or more programs are actively uploading or downloading data from the Internet . How can you easily find out which programs on your computer are accessing the Internet and what websites are they connecting to?
Find Which Programs are Connecting to the Internet You have quite a few options. If you are on Windows 7 or Vista, you can use the built-in Performance monitor utility to see a list of all running processes that are currently accessing the Internet. Tech-savvy users may also use the netstat command to get similar information. What makes TCPEye a bit different is that it also lists the websites / servers that the programs are communicating with and the location (country) where those servers are located. If you notice an unwanted connection or a suspicious entry in the TCPEye log, just right click to end the process. Documentary Videos | Free Documentary Videos Online.
The Gloves Are Off: Google Chrome Browser Will Drop Support For H.264 Video Codec. In the world of online video, there is a battle brewing over the next dominant standard for online video, especially on HTML5 Web pages. Today, Google took the gloves off and declared that it will soon stop supporting the H.264 video codec in its Chrome browser. Instead, it will only support open-source technologies such as its own WebM initiative (with its VP8 codec) and the open-source Theora video codec, which is used by Firefox. You could see this a mile away.
Google announced the WebM project last May, along with other partners Mozilla and Opera (Apple, which relies on H.264 in its mission to squash Flash, was conspicuously absent). The H.264 codec is owned by the MPEG-LA consortium, and may in the future require a license. In a post today on the Chromium blog, product manager Mike Jazayeri gives the following explanation for why Chrome will no longer support H.264: But how can Google justify dropping support for H.264, but not Flash (which also uses H.264 for video)?
