There are professional who like to buy a camera for a price of 39000 Rupees.Yes it is a Digital camera with a whole lot features packed into a sleek designed camera.It gives you a 8.3 mega pixels resolution and 3 inches for display.I don't remember the brand but the features that they have loaded into this device was really astonishing.
But there is something on our side to loose other than the price, it is the fact that the set takes around 1 second to take a snap , but still it is of course a good thing to compromise for a spectacular snap. This one will be the ideal choice for those who reall need high quality on their side.

Telescopic pixels
what is this telescopic pixels, anyway? It was the name uttered by the guys in the Microsoft research lab.They say that it is possible to build huge LCD screens at low price but at the same time with high definition and resolution.
Currently there is a rapid improvement in this field of monitors but, it is been found that there is a lot of loss of light due to the design of these LCD screens.The researchers had found that using a special mirror it is possible to rectify the issue and it is possible to use all the light to the pixel.

To define the Universe
Institute of Computational Cosmology (ICC) was working on an super computer that actually does the process of solving mysteries in our universe. This is actually been started at later part of 2001 aided by Britain’s biggest supercomputer based the University of Durham. This machine records data from billions of observations on the cosmic objects spread all across the universe. Thus obtained data from observation was then processed at ultra speed to predict the formation and evolution of galaxies. The supercomputer result was then compared to cosmic theories to find an reasonable explanation for the evolution of our universe. To say about the components of the supercomputer, it consists of a cluster of 128 Ultra-SparcIII processors, 24 processor SunFire mid-frame servers, 112 GB RAM and 7 TB of storage, such immensity allow it to perform 10 billion operations per second, which would take most human beings around a million years of continuous calculation to complete!
Wacom Cintiq
.bmp)
A digital drawing board, stylish and elegant, with 1.3-inch touchscreen LCD and a resolution of 1600 x 1200. You can draw right on the screen with pressure level upto 1240.The pen as got three standard nibs,
1) felt nib and
2)stroke nib
Touch strips help to easily scroll and zoom like mouse scroll. It comes with eight customizable buttons and two layered screen,
One for glare and the other to give a paper like texture.
It is also possible to place rulers, and other measurement tools on the screen itself like a drawing board. It is for those thriving artists out there who could spare 2400$.
Diet pills for dieting and health.
Apart from survival, diet plays an important role in maintaining good health. Less food consumption leads to deficiency diseases, while too much of it results in obesity.
Finally, diet pill is a valuable solution for every one who suffer a lot due to abnormal bodyweight and its effect.
Sony's Qrio
Its bot Qrio, sony's humanoid pet to say shortly.Been developed as a competitor to asimo and aibo. Apart from walking with stable steps,it can dance, kick a football, and adapt to irregular terrain. Can also understand human sentences and respond by voice or body gestures.
It is able to recognize individuals by memorizing and using specific data to identify each one of them. With the capability to locate the direction of sound.
Also it could sense its environment by three dimensions. The walking by obstacles is avoided.
With a male look it will be fine to call "He is QRIO" rather than "It is QRIO".
Let's wait to see when this 7 Kg of little entertainer hits the market.
High end motherboards...
What does make a mother board to be called as high end?
Lets see..
1. Dual-core support
2. Fastest memory
3. Increased SATA ports
4. supporting two graphics card
5. Overclocking support
6. Fire wire...
Dual-core processors as the latest to be in latest would do. The memory support should be dual-channel. Currently, DDR memory at 400 MHz and DDR2 at 888 MHz were available.
Unlike the usual four SATA ports try to get more no of SATA as possible,as one port can connect only one device. The SATA II with a data transfer rate of upto 300 MBps is to be compatible, such Mb's also support older SATA versions.
In mere future single graphics card that you currently have may not be sufficient in order to fulfill your quest you should try putting another one, so a Mb that support SLI is preferrable.
FireWire, a port used to connect digi cams with the Mb.
Advanced overclocking is much sought by gamers, who like to get all that their system have. Other than this few networking needs like Wi Fi, dual gigabit and bluetooth services should also be included.
GPS - Getting Poised or Suspended
Lot of complaints, either as funny commercials or as serious discussions seem to cripple around about the GPS usage in automobiles world wide.
A driver recommends his car's GPS to guide with an alternate route to his home,with an thought of avoiding the long traffic in the usual route.The GPS accepted his request and came out with an new route,which the driver started obeying thinking,he will be in home a lot earlier than usual.But after half an hour travel through sloppy roads of hills,he found himself at the top of a cliff!!
Similarly many real incidents were been reported, some are really funny to hear like driving into a hotel or lake as going by GPS guidance.
These things explains us with the flaws that needs to be taken care immediately in order to use the technology with ease and atmost comfort, as far as concerned every one needs 100% defectless product or services from their vendors.
Also it opens the eyes for all of us about an area which needs development in major scale in order to cater the future development needs.

Can your dog make you understand by that bow wow....
Yes.. Software development as contained itself into the attempt of bridging the translation gap not only among various languages among humans world wide,But also between homo sapiens and Canis lupus familiaris, Wondering about the name? Well it is the Generic name for dogs.
Scientists at ELTE University have designed a software that identifies the meaning for every kind of sound made by dogs,It's not in the verge of perfect finish.Still this software could understand the cause of barks, yaps, howls and growls more accurately than human ears could do.
What may be the use of such an dog-deciphering software? May be it could buildup the centuries of relationship between human and dogs strong and versatile, also this could bring the picture of involving more such experiments in mere future extending to other animals that comrade with us in this planet.

Black berry Pearl 8120 Vs IPhone
For Bussiness applications its really not needs to say about Blackberry configuration as it is been molded fully for that purpose while Iphone has features covering entertainment at all scales widely.
In Pearl 8120 the 2.2-inch display may be less sufficient, but still bright enough to get your work done, Here in Iphone, the 3.5-inch display fits the entire length of the phone with sharp, crystal clear and excellent colour reproduction.
The 8120v is with a pseudo-QWERTY keypad ”two letters per key” but Iphone needs one.
Pearl 8120 easily handle mostly used files types like DOC, LS, PDF, etc while apple concentrated the way music is being delivered.
In Iphone Playing around menus is fun just it needs to filch your finger up or down to scroll any list and swipe it left or right to move left or right.One button for exiting all applications,sounds great whereas in Blackberry a roller ball at the center is for all navigation between menus,Quite charming.
Video playback and Image management is fully accomplished in a very elegant manner for Iphone while pearl doesn’t wear much ammunition in this area though.
Moving to internet browsing Iphone renders zooming pages and switching between layouts, while Bb uses WIFI for GPRS and internet browsing in its own way.
To conclude, Iphone is the best phone viewed and Pearl 8120 is an excellent business device with just one shortcoming that is with high speed internet.
Knol
Google has announced the launch of a new project called Knol, which aims to be a repository of the world’s information. Each topic or page on the Knol is called “a knol” .
This borrows from Squidoo which is another management site. Google won’t act the editor in any way, and there will be nothing like an official knol for each topic. It aims only to provide the tools and the server space.
Knol, currently in beta version is open to users by invitation only. Google will also host ads on each knol.
The point to note is that authors will get a significant share of the revenues .There is a danger that driven by ad revenues, there might be a proliferation of knols on commercial topics like microprocessor architecture , fashion design,etc.
There is also another argument, that because editing rights are locked, knol might contain some biased viewpoints, or that they might contain outdated information. But still there are certain arguments in favour of this new model. Since authors will no longer be anonymous, they might keep their knols objective and updated. But then again, knols can be searched by search engines, and there are fears that Google may screwup its algorithms so knols feature at the top of search results.
Play any game disc in Xbox or PS2.
It is a long time dream for many of us that"Is it become possible to play my favorite game in XBOX or PlayStation".Now I could assure, this is possible, with a small chip called mark chip I am now able to play any game in my new XBOX irrespective of the disc type and without any compatibility issues.This simple upgrade enhances my gaming experience and at the same time I now got the freedom of choosing from a lot of collections out in the market.I not sure that it also works for PS as I don't have one.But still my friend who uses PS2 accepts that it works very well for PS also.
Magitti.
I'm sure that you would like a cell phone that tells you what you can do with idle time? and if you are walking around a new place?
Currently PARC is working on a program called Magitti, it uses what it knows about you to recommend activities that you can enjoy in your vicinity.
It gives a list of things to do in the area. In the first attempt , this list won’t be more personalized to your likes,but it’ll be able to tell which recommendations are more likely abide your interest in further usage.
Consider, if you’re a traveling buff, you will find historical landmarks at the top of your list. Also it edits its recommendations based on the time and day,as you wont like to go swiss during deep winter.
Magitti uses GPS facility to grasp the choices you make, and to find more about your destination using an online database. Entirely speaking a virtual responder, guide, and database useful for the whole in general.

Bots at present.....
Kismet
Its a robot that communicates with humans socially, understands human feelings and react properly.It learns like an infant and shows feelings.
Like a infant it needs a environment for learning, if it is under stimulated it feels bored,and when over stimulated it shows fear.
Cog
It's a project being developed to get a bot with a three-year old infant IQ . Interestingly its torso was learning since 1993. Now its in a crawling-infant stage.
Another thing to note is, unlike other bots it makes eye contact with humans while others can't even differentiate between humans and objects.
Asimo
First ‘robo sapiens’ as to rightly say . A 1.2 m tall astronaut like bot developed by honda.
It can climb stairs, look out for corners and even turns the light on/off. But was blind, deaf and dumb , it can only be remotely configured.
Aibo
A pet bot,with a Memory Stick that dictates its behaviour. it can also controlled by PC or mobile device. It identifies its owner and can recharge itself.
Shortly, an entertainer in nature developed by sony electronics.

Hi speed Optical Networks
3D-Photonic Crystal Add-drop Filter, yet another new slot added to technology. It is developed by a team led by Rana Biswas, which enhances transmission through multiple channels along optical fibres.
This can be rightly said as a milestone in the development of optical networking and communication to eliminate various hinders involved in optical transmission links, resulting in flawless data transmission for the Internet and other fibre-based telecommunication systems.As sai d by Biswas,
“There are up to 160 wavelength channels travelling through an optical fibre at the same time. That means a lot of dialogue is going on simultaneously”.
Biswas, also explained that as information is transfered over multiple channels, it is necessary to periodically drop individual wavelength channels. At the same time, able to add data streams into the empty wavelength channels.
It is also said that when data is transferred along multiple channels it becomes necessary to receive only one signal at a point.
Web getting updated.
For the cause of being able to adapted to the new technology that evolve each day,Every software is being updated, while every hardware is being upgraded.
The same now goes to internet, Web 2.0 in the verge of updating our current internet.It aims in providing the end user with what he actually needs?
This system will be able to direct the user to appropriate website by optimized search using user feedback(input). So there wont be a need to open several search result pages.
This is not the only thing as to highlight, there is a whole lot of features to add, I hope presenting them in another post very soon, after I get a detail knowledge about them.

Watch with MP3 and flash memory.
A multi-purpose watch to say with MP3 player, voice recorder and inbuilt memory of 512 MB size.
MP3 playback is excellent with the earphones supporting a lot. Four equalizer settings. The ear phones seem large and its unique, so it wont be possible to replace it with your favorite one.
Separate batteries for MP3 player and watch. Easy to connect to PC by the USB port.
The voice recorder has an inbuilt microphone. The %!@ MB can be used like a thumb drive.
Though the playback lasts for 5 hours, Rs 4,125 is high as there is no FM Radio or video.
