Sony Nextep Computer Concept for 2020 by Hiromi Kiriki & Yanko Design - StumbleUpon In 2020 We Can Wear Sony Computers On Our Wrist Our present need for internet connectivity is so profound that secondary devices like the Nextep Computer are bound to happen. Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible OLED touchscreen. Earmarked for the year 2020, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility, make the concept plausible.

Switzerland Switzerland In June 2011, we spent a week in Switzerland, flying into Geneva, with an initial stop in Montreux, followed by a picturesque stay in Wengen, located above the Lauterbrunnen valley. The alps provided a stunning backdrop to explore the area. During our stay in Wengen, a small village that is accessible by train or foot, the main sound heard was cow bells.

untitled 2011-08-18 IBM Unveils Cognitive Computing Chips ARMONK, N.Y., - 18 Aug 2011: Today, IBM (NYSE: IBM) researchers unveiled a new generation of experimental computer chips designed to emulate the brain’s abilities for perception, action and cognition. The technology could yield many orders of magnitude less power consumption and space than used in today’s computers. In a sharp departure from traditional concepts in designing and building computers, IBM’s first neurosynaptic computing chips recreate the phenomena between spiking neurons and synapses in biological systems, such as the brain, through advanced algorithms and silicon circuitry. Its first two prototype chips have already been fabricated and are currently undergoing testing. Called cognitive computers, systems built with these chips won’t be programmed the same way traditional computers are today. To do this, IBM is combining principles from nanoscience, neuroscience and supercomputing as part of a multi-year cognitive computing initiative. Why Cognitive Computing

How To Find Product Key Of Any Software » Product Key Finder Tips How to find the product key of any software that you want..?? A product key is a unique identification number or code, used in software like operating systems and games, to prevent counterfeiting and piracy. This is a specific software program. For the most part, a product key operating system is an insignificant number, but when you need to re-install your OS, suddenly the product key becomes the code harder to find. Find Product Key Of Windows 7 A product key Windows 7 is needed to activate the system, format the Windows 7, or in the event of a system crash, re-installing Windows 7 on your computer. How to find the product key of Windows 7 The product key number for Windows 7 is a alphanumeric pattern of 25 characters, divided into 5 groups of 5 characters each. * The product key used to activate the 32-bit or 64-bit editions of Windows 7 * Product keys are also unique to the version of Windows 7 (Ultimate, Premium, Basic, 32 or 64 bits).

Cybertecture Mirror of the Future It's hard to believe that the Cybertecture Mirror by Hong Kong-based founder James Law is actually real. The reflective mirror features programmable applications using a digital display, and is decked out with stereo speakers, WiFi, IP41 waterproofing, and fog-resistant glass. The Cybertecture Mirror can be used in an active or passive mode, controlled via its remote control and/or smartphones. It interacts with users by delivering useful information and can even monitor your health through its peripheral sensor pad. According to Engadget, Wen Wei Po reports a 60,000 HKD ($7,733) price tag and a very ambitious expectation that two million Mirrors will be sold over the first three years.

14 Wild Ideas Many Worlds , Medicine Useless , A.I. via Common Sense , Cryonics , Uploads , I'm in Sim , Fast Growth , Growth Stops , Colonize Galaxy , No Aliens , Aliens Came & Left , Private Law , Futarchy , No One Honest . by Robin Hanson , Oct. 18, 2001 A wild idea is one that many people think is obviously quite unlikely. I'd say at least a third of these wild ideas are likely true. (Parenthetic links are to more of my writings .) Many times each day, your mind permanently splits into different versions that live in different worlds.

Physicists Build the First Quantum Interface What's the Latest Development? Physicists at the University of Innsbruck have taken an essential step toward creating quantum computers, which may prove vastly more powerful than today's chip-based technology. By creating a network that interfaces between a single ion and a single proton, in a way that is both "efficient and freely tunable," the physicists have created the first link between quantum processors and optical information channels. What's the Big Idea? Unlike classical information, quantum data cannot be copied without being corrupted, thus physicists must find a way to transfer the data between matter and light using entanglement, "the quantum property in which the state of one particle depends on the state of a second."
