Technology helps reinvent cell phone ads Notme

In these days technology is everything. Having a computer, Internet connection and of course a mobile phone brings you the world. Advertisers thought that investing in ads for cell phones will be a gold mine. And indeed it is, as long as they keep spam off their ads, and instead bring to users important offers from retails shop or restaurants near them.Brands like Nokia Corp. and McDonald's Corp. knew how to read and render the trend of these mobile phone markets. The brands added interactive ads on cell phones, taking advantage of the device's ability to know where you are.Laura Marriott, executive director of the Denver-based industry trade group Mobile Marketing Association said that better handsets and faster networks mean "more brands utilizing mobile devices for more advanced marketing and advertising initiatives."The biggest market for cell-phone ads is Japan where 98 million people have mobile phones integrated with Internet capabilities.By 2011 revenues from advertising in this segment for Japan is expected to by $1 billion, last year they had $328 million that according to an April report Dentsu Communication Institute Inc.A spokeswoman from Southeast Asia's largest operator, SingTel, Tricia Lee said. "Our customers are fully aware that they will be receiving the ads, and from our initial findings, they aren't disturbed by them at all. We also found that a relatively large segment of customers are willing to try mobile advertising provided they receive something in return."

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Teen trades hacked iPhone for new car Notme

Buddies of George Hotz, the teen that hacked the iPhone, should take their words back. They didn't thought when they said that he lost his summer doing nothing that the curly haired teen would prove them that it wasn't all for nothing. Now he traded the unlocked iPhone for "a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones."Hotz reached a deal with CertiCell, a mobile-phone repair company based in Louisville, Ky., founded by Terry Daidone and offered him a consulting job too.He said he will be sending the three iPhones, "unlocked if they wish," to the online collaborators who helped him unlock the device.Hotz posted the news on his blog http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com, and wrote that Terry Daidone, the founder of CertiCell, a mobile phone repair company, contacted him and offered to make a trade for the modified iPhone.A spokesman for CertiCell, Jake Ducey confirmed the arrangement and said the company thought snapping up the piece of cellphone history would stir up publicity and business."We've been pretty much blowing up ever since it happened," he said.Terry Daidone said in a statement on the company's website: "We are keenly interested in having Mr. Hotz assist our engineers in developing solutions to other software-related challenges, including software updating, reflashing and memory elimination of repaired and or refurbished cellular handsets."

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Nokia is taking Apple head on Corina Ciubotaru

Guess who's trying to become a threat to Apple's domination of the music business? Well, believe it or not, it's Nokia. The Finnish company has announced the release of a new type of phone, called N81 last week and through its online service Ovi it will provide users with music, movies and other stuff they might be interested in. Nokia has already signed deals with the four big labels in the U.S. (Universal, Sony BMG, Warner Music and EMI) to distribute their music through the new service, and it is the only company other than Apple who has managed to do this. If this move is a success, Nokia is on its way to expanding its area of dominance, though Apple is hard to beat. iTunes is the biggest music selling site and iPod has dominated the MP3 players market ever since its release, not to mention the iPhone which was a hit also. Now, Nokia came up with a range of phones costing between $300 and $750, with 8 GB of memory and a sleek design. A song purchased from Ovi will cost one euro, whereas one on iTunes is 99 cents, or $1.29 without DRM. They're trying to beat Apple with their own weapons, as well as at their own game and they're basing their optimism on the fan base, because the Finnish company has sold over 100 million devices in the second quarter alone. It's gonna be fun to watch this battle of giants and in the competition, consumers will probably have the most to gain, as at least one of the companies will eventually start to offer various perks.

WikiScanner, if you want to know who writes what you read by Corina Ciubotaru

Ever wondered who writes Wikipedia articles? We can all edit them, but most of us don't bother to, so the job is left to a significant few. If you want to thank them, criticize or just find out their names, a guy called Virgil Griffith has the solution. It's called WikiScanner and it's got everyone's attention recently after it proved that some companies change the content of articles to suit their needs. It seems it's a fashion and they're all doing it, from The House of Representatives and The Senate to CIA to Diebold. The CIA is a bit more discreet than private companies, making minor adjustments in the most varied Wikipedia entries, while Diebold has erased parts of an article containing criticism in regard to their voting machines, and so has the Church of Scientology. The software compares the editor's IP address to a public list of companies that own certain IPs. We can't know for sure which employee is in charge with setting things straight in every firm, but it's a good way to end suspicions and have some evidence for future allegations. Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales is also a fan of the WikiScanner and he should be, because it's normal that people know who wrote the articles they take for granted. If anybody can edit a wiki, everyone should be able to get information in regard to the writer and decide if they are trustworthy. If it's meant to be transparent, it should be transparent all the way.

Many Skype users unable to make calls by Notme dfsfs

Thursday, millions of users of the popular computer program were unable to log in. Users from Germany, Brazil, Vietnam and United States all faced problems and reported difficulties in logging on.The company declared: "Our engineering team has determined that it's a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours." Rumours were saying that Skype was the victim of hacking or that the system crashed, but Skype denied those speculations reporting that the problem was "a deficiency in an algorithm within Skype networking software. This controls the interaction between the user's own Skype client and the rest of the Skype network."Today users from Europe, Asia or United Stated were able to log in to the free service and make long distance calls.Skype said that "even though it is too early to call out anything definite yet we are now seeing signs of improvement in our sign-on performance."With a total of 220 million of accounts and almost 5 or 6 millions of users connected to the service at the same time, Skype is a revolutionary computer program founded by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, which uses peer-to-peer technology to connect phone calls, instant messages and videos between its users. Skype can run on computers using Windows, Mac OS X, PocketPC orLinux.

I`m juicy,are you?

Check this out and stare: juicycampusdotcomYeah, my reaction was quite the same.Like who would do that. Who would have founded such a website. Foremost what for?!I mean college is the hell on earth anyway, at least for the most of us. No it`s not better than highschool, and it`s never gonna be better if you are on the other side. I`m talking about outsiders here.They woke up everyday scared what this day is gonna bring them again - they`re used to it though. In the end its the same everyday. Humiliation, insults, this weird laughing everytime you pass.It`s different for the elite though. They have fun. They are good looking, rich, own an expensive car and going from one event to another. For them life is just a big party. All they talk about is fashion and boys / girls. Who hooks up with who, who is making out with who, who was the most drunk one last night, who`s cheating..- they know all the juicy details. And if they don`t know, they make them up.Getting some action in their boring lives.Honestly I would expect this from a pre-schooler but not from a college guy. We`re not in the kindergarden anymore, I don`t care if that blond hot chick from the UCLA lost her panties last night, I don`t wanna see some pictures of drunk folks, lying on the floor in their vomits, and at last I care who is the sluttiest girl on the Northern or who the sexiest guy in Vandy is. And I`m surely not interested to talk about it cause I have a way better things to do.My life is juicy as well but I`m keeping it for myself not willing to share it with the whole world.

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: It is all about being in touch by Barbora Misakova

The hottest news from the technology world are about so called Android smart phones. These phones should be based on Google's Android operating system which has various kinds of applications. Android includes for example e-mails, SMS program, calendar, maps, browser, contacts etc. but the point is that Google went so far that they announced competition when anyone of users around the world can win $100.000 when anyone of them design the best mobile application. Well I think I don't have to say that Gphone, as is this Google phone called, will have success. Google's competition is still running and not only common users are fighting about the price. Also various companies are racing who will be the first one with smart phone running Android. Every time when someone came with new idea or device, people are whooping and expecting some brand new features. And I am not surprised. Todays world is all about connection and about being in touch. But technology is not only about phones. Various kinds of high-tech toys are surrounding us. We need to send and receive e-mails, sending SMS, making and receiving calls, we want to watch videos during traveling back home, some of us like reading online books through mobile phones or they just want to browse on the Internet while they are waiting at the doctor's ambulance. This is just that entertaining part of it. But what if your friend has just broken his leg and you don't know what to do? What if you see that police is needed somewhere? Technology is not only about entertainment, it is about immediate steps. All this and much more offer Telecom companies such as SigEx Telecom. Opinions on the impact of technology on today's life are various, but the truth is that lot of Telecom companies such as SigEx just enable us easy, quickly and so effectively use our time. Sometimes just single mobile phone can save someone's life. Of course this is an extreme example, but people should realized that all devices connected on the Internet are not dedicated only for entertainment. It is about working social networks and communicated people.

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Downplayed importance of cell contend by Zuzana Krskova

"The consumers will actually demand the content, and they'll demand a better experience. And it will force both of us to figure out the economics around who gets how much,"said Jeff Zucker, NBC Universal CEO during the conversation called "The future of Mobile Technology".Zucker thinks, that there should be payed much more attention to the well-hyped mobile media opportunity. Also SigEx Telecom shares the same vision of this fact. Telecom is needed for existing social networks and filling a gap between being connected and interacting and bringing together various means of communicating.Zucker's vision is the re-creation of the PC story using the mobiles, with applications, that are beyond our imagination. SigEx is also trying to develop its technology to be as most effective, as possible.He thinks that the Internet in mobile phones is more powerful than in PCs, because of GPS technology. It allows for example local advertising, and he added, that he thinks that if advertising is working so good on Internet, why should it work as good, or even better on mobile. Mobile phones are very important in our lives, and SigEx is also realizing it, by allowing cheap international phone calls to high definition video rooms or advanced SMS. So, the goal of both, Zucker and SigEx Telecom is to improove possible ways of mobile communication."You can not actually complete a phone call in California," he said, "So it's hard to get terribly excited in Hollywood about movies on the phone yet. The network itself is so appalling."

Cell Phones in Panama

I always thought of Panama as a third world country. Country where you make a vacation, in a wonderful shiny hotel resort with all facilities you can imagine - so it`s really unnecessary to go somewhere outside the resort. Because outside the resort is the world not that shiny anymore. The people are very poor and the crime rate there is very high.So I was quite surprise when I read the article about the cell phone boom in Panama.Imagine you walking down the street in Panama as you see some panamian guy standing on the corner in some shady clothes, very thin, cause he probably doesn't get a proper food, BUT he talks to his fine Motorola Razr mobile phone. Where he did get that? Either he didn't eat for weeks just to afford the phone, or he is a drug dealer and has the money from his selling business or he just have stolen it. Many explanations are possible..Or maybe he just simply bought it.In Panama there are 2 mobile operators fighting on the market: Moviestar and Cable & Wireless. Many stores in the city offer cell phones for discount prices, convenient talk programmes and cheap pre paid cards. But don`t expect any of guarantees you`re used to get back at home. But if you just wanna make couple of phone talks for about 20 $ it`s the right thing for you. The people there are obsessed with cell phones. Which refers to a fact that communication is a very important part of human nature. Face to face communication, sending e-mails, diverse social networks, phone calls - all that we need to stay in touch with the rest of the world.

Wired to the World

SigEx Telecom is the best growth placement in France supported by Sigex Ventures and SigEx Ventures Euro Fund a company and also the most efficient tax reduction placement with the highest return on investment. Having multiple functions, it is also a global telecom carrier providing users with the cheapest calls to their friends and colleagues around the world, because telecom is complementary to existing social networks, connecting and interacting and bringing together various means of communicating, from advanced SMS and cheap international phone calls to high definition video rooms. Understanding that the basic purpose of social networks is to enable online communities to actually interact, SigEx Telecom offers something completely new and exceptional by adding in a third dimension: e-content. Through this dimension all that it is stored on our smartphones, computers and digital cameras or camcorders will be available to share with anyone in the world we want to. All that we store on the LivingSpace account will reside there for as much as we want to, without the fear of losing it. The digital e-content also includes music and movies that we have purchased and that we want to view anywhere in the world, either on cell phones in the train or at a friends' house. It is a good strategy considering that over 30 percent in Italy, Spain and Britain use their phones to send or receive photos and videos into account, while in email usage Spain and Britain have only 9 percent. Just trying the LivingSpace people fall in love with it and then they start interact continuously, thus SigEx Telecom drives more traffic to our advanced social telecom networks. It makes it easy to be a part of many communities by sharing or joining the networks that reflect your real-life communities and get to learn more about the people who work, live, study or play around you. Don't take my word for it, try it!

Make your clients content

Well if you think smart phones are everywhere and revolution of these handy devices already started, I have to tell you, you are wrong. I have just read a short article about new types of mobile phones manufactured by Nokia and Samsung and I tell you those will offer you much more fun than these "smart" phones we know now. At the Mobile World Congress these two world-wide corporations announced they are preparing new, and I take a liberty to add, very hot handsets which will enable you except listening to music and playing games also watching videos and even whole movies!There is no surprise that in production of mobile phones producers are still trying to bring something new. Honestly it is mainly because they hang back when we compare their services with companies offering communication services. As there is still more companies offering new applications and services and some of them also devices, corporations producing mobile phones need to fight hard to retain their position on market of social networks. SigEx Telecom is one of those corporations which knows how to achieved on this field.When the age of people longing for quick, easy and entertaining way of communication comes, only those who can react immediately and are able to make the best offer will be successful. On the possibility of watching and also uploading and sharing videos through online TV broadcasting companies producing mobile phones react with the same weapon & watching videos and movies through your mobile phone whenever you are. While Samsung at the congress showed off its F490, mobile phone with 3-inch by 2-inch screen dedicated for watching movies, Nokia doesn't hesitate and in near future will come with its N96 & video-oriented mobile phone with 2.8-inch screen and 16GB storage capacity which can be expanded to 32GB.When corporations such as SigEx Telecom started with their offers of making and receiving calls to and from landlines and also mobile phones, companies producing mobile phones had to think hard how not to lose their position on this field. That's why most of them prepared and manufactured mobile phones which allow to its clients to read and send e-mails, faxes, reading news and blogs on the Internet. If this is a real war or it is only hard ambition of big number of companies to achieve is hard to say. However the point is that people want to be in touch, communicate with anyone and anywhere they are and honestly clients don't care who will provide this services as long they make the clients content.

High DefinitionWorld

Maybe you haven`t realised it yet but the whole world seems to be turning to digital.I got my first cellphone when I turned 15, because I went to a boarding school-far away from home, so if something happens I can let my family know. It was just an emergency instrument. The only thing u could have done with it was call someone. Oh and play snake-which gets boring by the time. I still remember how it looked like. It was quite big, and heavy, no camera included, no colour. Now, 7 years later,i s the cell phone the reason to live. Your whole life is depending on that small 5x10 cm thing. It`s not only for calling 911 anymore. You can do everything with it..Make phonecalls, sending text messages, e-mails, pictures, videos, listening to music, even download to music from the internet, pay your bills, shop, play games.It`s really cool for young people, it`s also very useful for businessmen and that kind of people. Makes the life easier.But what about the older people? People born around the 1950`s?I mean me from the young generation, I have many of problems to withstand the technology. I`m constatly confused when I buy a new cell phone, cause they have so many functions and features and I honestly don`t know what for and how to use them. I suppose thats how the whole senior generation feels.Shreveport is the third largest city in Louisiana - "the next great City of the South", according to the motto on their homepage.The higher authorities there intend to change from analog service to digital.Especially older people have special cell phones for emergency cases.They can`t receive or make calls they just can call 911.So there`s a big concern what will happen to this people,cause with the change it may happen that they won`t be able to call 911 anymore.Voluntarily entering the modern world?

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: My, Myself and ?@&!$ by Kamila Moravcikova

If you are living in United States and being called O'Xyz, Al-Xyz or D'Xyz or having a space in your name or another for English unusual symbol it can be pretty difficult sometimes as computers and computer systems don't recognize apostrophes, gaps or hyphens. In the world where you don't have to do almost anything because we have technologies and devices that allow us to lead much more comfortable and convenient life, it's such a big deal when your name is not plain, apostrophe/gap/hiccup/whatever-free.Actually, it's much more worse in Europe I guess. Just think how many nations and nationalities with specific languages and rare alphabets and different grammar you can find here. And being from Slovakia, having Slovak name with all that special letters I know what the Americans are complaining about. Even in my passport there is not the right version of my name to make it a little bit easier for others. Once I cross the borders of my own country, I am not myself anymore. All over the world the computer keyboards vary from country to country. And in the most of countries the letters necessarily required for my name to be right written just miss. I have seen so many forms of my name! Some characters are missing, and some are brand new (such as $@& etc), making my own last name indistinguishable even for me, its proud owner!And it's not only about losing myself, it's about permanent fear of not be allowed to board the plane, of being requested to pay for something I have already paid, all of that just because of the wrong transcription of my name.

Japan communication satellite in the Space by Sandra Stoklaskova

When ordinary people want to communicate through the Internet, they go to the mobile operator's shop and buy data card or visit their telecommunication and there appoint all necessary steps, than wait couple of days and gain access to the Internet. But most of them do not know, how much of exhaustive work stays behind it.Years of bothering and improving technologies constitute today also an success of Japan's space agency , who have launched experimental communication satellite into Space on Saturday. The aim of this satellite, known as "Kizuna", is to provide super high-speed Internet access across Asia, but mainly in Japan and in Southeast Asia.The Kizuna was carried by the Japan-developed rocket H-2A, that was launched from the Space Centre on Tanegashima island off the southern tip of Kyushu Island.The development of this satellite cost Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency-JAXA- approximately $340 million. It includes two large multi-beam antennas, which are separated from the rocket. Kizuna is expected to facilitate super-high speed data communications of up to 1.2 Gbps. According to the JAXA, this parameter makes it the fastest in the world. The agency also assume it to have a life cycle of five years and it is hoped to begin transmitting and receiving data in July, after passing on-orbit tests.Kizuna is not intended for commercial use. It is as advanced and reliable, that students sitting in one classroom could communicate together without any time lag. This satellite will allow communication even when a ground-based network is affected somehow.

Successful sellers' strike? by Barbora Misakova

When you monitor what is happening and how are some stories developing, you can see how one thing can influence another and that another. It is probably one month ago when I read about eBay and some innovations they were preparing. Analysts and some users that time claimed it was not a good step from eBay and it will have a big impact on its sales and number of users. eBay didn't listen and now it looks analyst were right. This online auction and shopping website has probably a big problems with those super innovations they applied - their auction listing dropped and thousands of sellers are protesting. Ebay adopted some changes which disadvantage especially sellers & they changed its fees for putting new items on the eBay web site and also prevent to sellers comment back to the buyers for fear of negative comments. Some analysts believe that strike which started Feb. 18 caused the drop in auction listing about 13 percent; the others just say that drop of selling items doesn't have to be connected with strike. If the drop is or not caused by this strike isn't as important as the fact that big number of sellers already ended their sales on eBay and go to other auction web sites such as iOffer or Amazon. While eBay argues about the results of statistics and claims that third-party statistics shows the boycott has had no impact on its listings, still more sellers are decided never come back to eBay. One of them, Nancy Baughman even said that if eBay's listings total "falls below 12 million, we have made a pretty good impact." Till eBay admits strikers are in right and have a power to cause serious problems to its online auctioning it can be already late. Valerie Lennert who belongs to boycott organizers spread her message in a anti-eBay video she put on youtube. And it seems it works & video has been viewed 140,000 times. The protestors try ever possible way to show their dissatisfaction with the eBay steps and so the created also a page on MySpace. I don't know what about you, but I am really curious how this all will end up.

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Encyclopedia of life published online by Zuzana Krskova

Scientists released first draft on Encyclopedia of life, which contains every available information about all living organisms on the Earth.Authors are planning to have detail information about all 1.8 million known animal species and plants after the completion of the project. They also have already set up 1 million placeholder pages. Each specie will have its own web page in an online archive. It will also include photographs, genetic information and distribution map."Identifying species correctly is critical. Cataloguing species and monitoring concentrations of known species or their appearance in new locations is vital, for example, to monitor the impact of climate change," said Graham Higley, head of NHM's library and information services.On Tuesday were released first 30,000 pages focused on fish, amphibia, large mammals and birds. "This is a great event," said Lord Robert May, a former president of the Royal Society who is an adviser to the project."It will help us to sort out all the different species and create a single consistent database."Help for researchers was also Wikipedia and its revolutionary use of software, that aggregates vast amounts of data from different sources. Also helpful were The Natural History Museum of London, the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and the Smithsonians Institution in Washington. In this project were used about 2.5 million pages of ancient academic journals and all the pictures, drawings and photographs were scanned into computer. It is also possible, that encyclopedia will include links to video clips taken from TV programmes.The Encyclopedia of Life is one of projects, that are trying to record a life on Earth, driven by the knowledge that many species are near extinction. There are many reasons like habitat destruction, climate change and exploitation.

Men of honor by Claudia Sonea

Who do you think you can blame for not being able to access YouTube Web site and see your favorite videos? Well, the entire blame falls on Pakistani Internet service providers that blocked the popular site across the world at the weekend when they restricted local access to the site, according to YouTube statement on Monday. Many users around the world could not access the site for about two hours due to a routed traffic created by erroneous Internet protocols. YouTube was blocked by Pakistan because it was running material insulting to Islam, a Pakistani industry official said on Sunday. An anonymous official said that this initial order to restrict local access might have inadvertently affected users around the world. Meanwhile, everyone in Islamabad on Sunday that tried to access YouTube received a generic error message saying the site was unavailable. All is well, that ends well. YouTube removed content deemed insulting to Islam and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority on Tuesday lifted the prohibition. They said that the interdiction was necessary in order to avoid unrest in the overwhelming Muslim country of 160 million people. The material most probably had to do with the publications of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad from Danish newspapers in 2005 that sparked widespread anger and deadly protests in several Muslim countries, including Pakistan. Furthermore, last Tuesday, in the eastern city of Multan city 150 students staged a rally, burning Danish and U.S. flags to express anger over the reprinting of the cartoon. That proves you just can't joke with a man's faith and beliefs. It is a good thing that YouTube removed the insulting material and did not continued to broadcast it. A fair deal after all among honest people.

Upgrade by Claudia Sonea

Have you heard about the latest thing from IBM? They are set to launch on Tuesday a more energy-efficient machine suitable to compete with high-end computers from rivals such as Hewlett-Packard Co and Sun Microsystems Inc (JAVA.O) that it is in fact an update of its powerful mainframe computer. You probably remember that the last update took place in 2005 and this new one although features an all-in-one computing framework for processing volumes of data for customers such as banks, insurers and retailers like all other older models, it is how International Business Machines Corp recounts more power-efficient and secure, dealing two main concerns as data-center energy costs soar and security threats mount. The new machine is called System z10 and starts at just under $1 million. What will you get? A 50 percent faster machine than the predecessors, the z9, up to 70 percent more computing capacity and according to IBM a more energy efficient computer. The z10 machines have the computing power of 1,500 standard business server computers, but are smaller and 85 percent more energy-efficient than such a server cluster. IBM's core product and a long a reliable source of revenue was from software and services required to run them, but now they are focusing on mainframes as the company moves to higher-profit technology services and software. The company expects a lot from the new mainframes, especially due to late losses they had fourth quarter: mainframe revenue fell 15 percent (customers waited for the new model before upgrading), from hardware fell 3 percent to $21.3 billion, accounting for 22 percent of IBM's total revenue of $98.8 billion, Chief Financial Officer Mark Loughridge said on a conference call with analysts in January. HP, Dell Inc (DELL.O) and Sun Micro represents real competition with less expensive server computers, whose top-line server computers cost more than $250,000 and perform many of the same functions as IBM's mainframes. But David Gelardi, vice president of industry solutions for IBM's systems and technology group, said in an interview that even though it is more expensive, it pays off and will definitely be a product to be proud about. What can I say more? Give it a go!

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: Communication from and to New York researched by Sandra Stoklaskova

Two months ago began a project of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, called New York Talk Exchange (NYTE). Researchers started monitoring a huge amount of electronic streams, which flew to and from New York. They rely on information provided by AT&T, which is one of the largest providers of communications services in the world. This project is not based on collecting gossips, information about individuals, their e-mails, messages , conversations, or to protect national security, emphasize researchers. The aim is to build a census that shows, neighborhood to neighborhood, New York's Internet and telephone links to different cities all over the world. In addition, they want to show how those connections change over time."Our cities and the globe are blanketed with flowing bits of digital data, and looking at this data, we are able to better understand the physical world," said Carlo Ratti, member of team from MIT.AT&T Laboratories collects data on e-mail messages, phone calls, cyber-phone connections and browsing the Web and then they transfer them to MIT in Cambridge, where the data are processed and consistent, analyzed."This fast communication that links the world has made globalization much more intense and much more visible. It gives you a very valuable footprint of the extent to which a country is involved in global communication," said Nayan Chanda, expert for globalization. Moreover he added, that these information could be very interesting form demographers, and people studying economics, telecommunication and business.Very unfamiliar fact was found out by this project, that global talks use to appear at both the top of the economy and its lower end.

Robots invading by Claudia Sonea

Why are we playing with technology? Beats me, but Japan is leader in this area and the robots they create are unique and tend to be more and more intriguing. The bad part is that they start to replace more and more people at work, like there was already a high rate of unemployment. The latest desire is to create robots capable of expressing human emotions. In Japan robots do all kind of works, even cook sushi or plant rice. Due to the fact that 65 percent of the population is elderly, Japanese government is trying to fill the gap of the working force with robots and it is for no surprise that funded all kind of projects and related efforts- nearly $10 million between 2006 and 2010, but with high expectations to return in great earnings. Also the Japanese people have their mind set on this kind of creation, how you could observe from their anime cartoons. The robots are natural seen even by the Japanese culture and they are just as well a revolution in the industry, where Japan leads with over 370,000 robots registered as working in 2005. Eimei Onaga, CEO of Innovation Matrix Inc., a company that distributes Japanese robotics technology in the U.S. promotes robots as increasing productivity and be less expensive by comparison to the labor force, but for the US economy in danger of recession it would not be a good idea. In Japan you could find robots working in hospitals (Wakamatsu, 190 miles north of Tokyo), as receptionists, home helpers, and so on and so forth. They expect for robots to become 15 percent of the Japanese work force and they try to improve it. For example Junichi Takeno of Meiji University together with his other colleagues created a rubbery robot face that would present six basic expressions: anger, fear, sadness, happiness, surprise and disgust. At Osaka University they are developing a child-robot to mimic the emotions of a child. From the famous Tamagotchi to robots replacing human workers, the Japanese have long evolved and their interest seem to head that way, but they might be banging against the high price of such a creation like Sony and its dog-robot Aibu. Stay connected and see the development, but be careful while you are not paying attention you might hit the sack and be replaced by a gizmo like those presented above.

To Paul Revere by Claudia Sonea

Have you ever been to Boston? There is an historical monument and also a religious one, the Old North Church at 193 Salem Street. All history and literature lovers remember the verses from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, "One if by land, and two if by sea" related to Paul Revere, an American silversmith and a patriot in the American Revolution, who on April 18, 1775, together with Robert Newman and Captain John Pulling used the steeple of the church to warn to Charlestown Patriots across the Charles River about the movements of the British Army, thus preceding the Battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolution. The pair of incandescent lanterns that commemorates the signals of Revere's warning was replaced by compact fluorescents (lit only for Patriot's Day) and they might be replaced once more by the light-emitting diodes, known as LED, that are already installed to illuminate ceiling vaults. There are 18 strips of LEDs that illuminate graceful the white ceiling. Ed Pignone, executive director of the Old North Foundation of Boston and the visitors of the church agreed that all the work was done with extreme carefulness, thus the LED donated by Philips Solid-State Lighting Solutions doesn't spoil the historical monument that is more like a living proof of what once had happened. For the time been LEDs are more expensive than fluorescents, but they are more efficient, converting electricity directly into light. It will be something futuristic and the church really needed the improvements and that is why they reanalyzing its state and what needs to be done to restore it. If you pass by, don't be indifferent try to help with even a small amount to something that counts so much for you as individual. George Orwell says in '1984' that whoever owns the past, holds the future, you could be that one.

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: What have you done? by Claudia Sonea

I absolutely adore Wikipedia and often used it in my research. Since its launch on 15 January 2001, the online encyclopedia editable by anyone, it has grown to become one of the most popular web sites with millions of articles written in hundreds of languages and accessible from anywhere in the world. If in the beginning its founder, Jimmy Wales was praised, now he's the target of many accusations of extorting the donor-supported Wikimedia Foundation for his extravagant expenses. Everything started long before Wool, but now only he is put forward as the accuser. Who is Wool? A person that has a blog in which he brings all kind of allegations to his former employer, Wales. Two years ago although he was an important employee, Wool resigned and started a crusade against Wales and his abuse of the Foundation money. However, Wool added that if indeed the foundation credit card was taken away to Wales in 2006, than there is no reason to believe that he still lives the vida loca. Among the expenses there are mentioned the $30000 in receipts that he owed to the Foundation, a $1,300 dinner and so on and so forth. In the support of Wikipedia's founder comes Sue Gardner, executive director of Wikimedia, Brad Patrick, the lawyer cited by Wool as covering the mess of Wales, also Florence Devouard, a Wikimedia board member, stood up for him and denied the allegations stating for the Associated Press that he was just slow in paying his debts in. The truth lays somewhere in the middle and it might worsen after the issue with breaking the Wikipedia conflict of interest rules in order to please his former lover, Rachel Marsden (after the break up she posted embarrassing correspondence between them and sold his clothes on eBay) and his own too. I know this might make you think twice when you donate money, but despite everything, Wikipedia is still a wonderful thing that helps people all over the world and presents so many things that we ought to know.

Birmingham schools among the firsts by Claudia Sonea

You have heard of bad management of cities by their councils but Birmingham's City Council overcomes all expectations. The local schools face many problems like funding shortages and less and less pupils coming to school, however Birmingham's City Council thinks more important is for them to get laptops that they won't even use because schools lack wireless networks and there aren't enough technology workers to train teachers. Probably you know the One Laptop Per Child Foundation, a nonprofit organization created in 2005 in order to provide children from developing countries new opportunities, access to an educational software. Usually the green-and-white "XO" laptops are sent to countries like Brazil, Rwanda, Mexico and they worth $200 a piece. Birmingham's City Council just decided to materialize a $3.5 million which involves 15000 of the mentioned laptops to get to schoolchildren and this way they entered in the history as the first US city acquiring the laptops supported by organizations like eBay, AMD, etc. It might be a good thing, but the laptops that have Linux as operating system might turn off users due to the more appealing Windows. Thus they will invest another $500000 to solve all the technical issues for the new machineries that will be heading to in grades 1 through 8. Virginia S. Volker, Birmingham school board member, although is enchanted by the idea of providing pupils with laptops, thinks that is a rushed decision and that many other things should have been solved before applying such a plan. Irresponsible or not, bad management or not, it is too late to change anything because the children are about to get an XO and will have the opportunity to get something for free. All that is left, is for them to enjoy their gift.

Talk, talk, talk... by Claudia Sonea

Cell phones give dependency. You cannot even imagine a life without such a smart object that gives you the opportunity to get in touch with people anywhere at any time. There are still issues like signal and carriers, but generally they are perfect for a modern life with people living in the fast lane. Even a study conducted in US show that residents switched the dependency from landline phones to cell phone from which they cannot part. Two years ago their answer was different, still the change only reinforces the belief that time is passing and things progress at a high rate. Cell phones are usually preferred due to its messaging capabilities, its camera features, games and the access to the Internet. From those confessing to be mobile phone addicted, 48 percent are under 30 and the study was conducted on more than 2000 people. Also 58 percent use it for text messaging, while 15 percent use the camera. Landlines phones lost their leadership from April 2006 and ranked forth this time. The study was conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, a Washington-based researched center who deals with issues, attitudes and trends shaping the USA and the world. Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky, was the one coming up with the idea of a wireless phone in 1902, but only in 1983 was approved the first cell phone created by Motorola DynaTAC. Who would have thought 28 years ago, that mobiles will be a trend, a drug, an indispensable accessory? Of course now it all seems normal and for nothing in the world neither the Europeans, nor the Americans or Asians would give up to such a technology.

Chris Cantell Discusses Technologies: What have you done? by Claudia Sonea

I absolutely adore Wikipedia and often used it in my research. Since its launch on 15 January 2001, the online encyclopedia editable by anyone, it has grown to become one of the most popular web sites with millions of articles written in hundreds of languages and accessible from anywhere in the world. If in the beginning its founder, Jimmy Wales was praised, now he's the target of many accusations of extorting the donor-supported Wikimedia Foundation for his extravagant expenses. Everything started long before Wool, but now only he is put forward as the accuser. Who is Wool? A person that has a blog in which he brings all kind of allegations to his former employer, Wales. Two years ago although he was an important employee, Wool resigned and started a crusade against Wales and his abuse of the Foundation money. However, Wool added that if indeed the foundation credit card was taken away to Wales in 2006, than there is no reason to believe that he still lives the vida loca. Among the expenses there are mentioned the $30000 in receipts that he owed to the Foundation, a $1,300 dinner and so on and so forth. In the support of Wikipedia's founder comes Sue Gardner, executive director of Wikimedia, Brad Patrick, the lawyer cited by Wool as covering the mess of Wales, also Florence Devouard, a Wikimedia board member, stood up for him and denied the allegations stating for the Associated Press that he was just slow in paying his debts in. The truth lays somewhere in the middle and it might worsen after the issue with breaking the Wikipedia conflict of interest rules in order to please his former lover, Rachel Marsden (after the break up she posted embarrassing correspondence between them and sold his clothes on eBay) and his own too. I know this might make you think twice when you donate money, but despite everything, Wikipedia is still a wonderful thing that helps people all over the world and presents so many things that we ought to know.

Birmingham schools among the firsts by Claudia Sonea

You have heard of bad management of cities by their councils but Birmingham's City Council overcomes all expectations. The local schools face many problems like funding shortages and less and less pupils coming to school, however Birmingham's City Council thinks more important is for them to get laptops that they won't even use because schools lack wireless networks and there aren't enough technology workers to train teachers. Probably you know the One Laptop Per Child Foundation, a nonprofit organization created in 2005 in order to provide children from developing countries new opportunities, access to an educational software. Usually the green-and-white "XO" laptops are sent to countries like Brazil, Rwanda, Mexico and they worth $200 a piece. Birmingham's City Council just decided to materialize a $3.5 million which involves 15000 of the mentioned laptops to get to schoolchildren and this way they entered in the history as the first US city acquiring the laptops supported by organizations like eBay, AMD, etc. It might be a good thing, but the laptops that have Linux as operating system might turn off users due to the more appealing Windows. Thus they will invest another $500000 to solve all the technical issues for the new machineries that will be heading to in grades 1 through 8. Virginia S. Volker, Birmingham school board member, although is enchanted by the idea of providing pupils with laptops, thinks that is a rushed decision and that many other things should have been solved before applying such a plan. Irresponsible or not, bad management or not, it is too late to change anything because the children are about to get an XO and will have the opportunity to get something for free. All that is left, is for them to enjoy their gift.
