Code Name "Light Peak"

Light Peak is not the name of any James Bond movie well its the code name of the new technology by Intel which revolves around data transmission rates.


we all know that Copper wires are used to send the data at a speed which less than the rate at which Optical fibers send the data.
Definately Optical fibres are very easy to send huge amount of data at a very brisk pace .
But with quality comes the Cost.Yes Optical fibre communication is costly.However they are extensively used in the connecting the different backbones in the internet.

Intel with its new technology "Light-Peak" aims at sending the data at the rate of 10GBPS.
yes Light peak is a new High speed optical cable technology.
It has the potential to transmit the data starting upto 100GBPS.
cool isn't it one can copy the entire blue ray disk in a matter of 30 seconds.
From Intel :"Light Peak also has the ability to run multiple protocols simultaneously over a single cable, enabling the technology to connect devices such as peripherals, workstations, displays, disk drives, docking stations, and more."
They'll be integrating these features in the pc motherboards and sony is also showing +ve signs for a collabration.
We can expect these light peak components by 2010.
with this technology by intel we can sure expect that the optical communication will no longer be used in the backbone networks it will someday be part of all the mobile devices,handheld devices etc.

Sixth Sense

Pranab Mistry's Sixth Sense  is  now going to be open sourced.
Recently at the ted Conference where he demonstrated this  software using a piece of paper he stated that  he will be making it open source.

What is this Sexth Sense??
Its a wearable device with a projector that is used for interaction with our environment.
In very simple words , here to interact with the applications present inside the laptop or within the phone , he uses a projector and interacts with the environment .
ex: within the area covered by the projector he swirls his finger in the air so as to form a @ symbol .
The result of that operation would be that the projector sends that to a software which recognises it to invoke a email client.

The Highly Hyped Droid is out and guess what it will be giving a good competetion to the Apple . The reviews team tells that it fails in achieving what it told at the time of promotions.
Apple market will not be affected that much by the Droid but since its new release the first few months will be a hit for Droid because of good advertising .
Not Even that Droid will be first phone which will be having Andriod 2.0 OS

Twitter Lists

Twitter lists ,one of the new ingredient that the twitter team has added to twitter.
What is it?

A very easy way to manage the people you follow.
Why Twitter List?
we all know that Twitter has grown enormously and tremendously only because the range of connectivity it allows, the very easy way to communicate with the people .We all loved this simplicity and that was the reason it grew up very fast .
But as it grew  it became difficult for the people to handle their friends list.Some users have 60K followers and the people they follow are also quite big in number and so with that big number it is very difficult for a user to keep track with all of them .
And yes there was this problem which the web community saw and they started working for a solution.
The Solution
The solution to the problem was to categorise the people in the followers list and that we now call as  Twitter list.
Now you can very easily create a list (group) specific to a interest .
eg: you are following  all the IT companies in twittier
Just create a new list  and give it a name  say Companies and then add the companies you follow to the list.
Now, when ever you want to see only the updates for the companies you  follow ,instead of searching them in you  home page  just click on the list and Voila  only  the tweets from your companies list will be shown.

Isn't that amazing you have created a tidy room out of a untidy one :D

not even that  every list you create can be public and private
Public in the sense that any body intrested in your follow can just click on that list and he also follows all the list items .
private  means no body  can see it.

Another good feature is that every list you create  has a url so directly you can access the latest tweets of  list .
so  since the lists posses a url you can integrate those tweets specific to list into your blog as well.
the Advantages goes on and on.
Seismic desktop has released its new version and it completely supports Tweeter List!
This is how you can create a Twitter List
