Today a user using the internet has a tough time downloading a file of 100MB. But the time is not far away when net users all around the world will be able to download or send files easily up to the size of 10GB. MIT researchers have developed means to make the internet 100 times or even 1000 times faster.

According to Vincent Chan, an electrical engineering and computer science professor at MIT, replacing electrical signals inside the routers (that direct traffic on the internet) with faster optical signals will make the internet 100 times, if not 1000, times faster. This will also reduce the amount of energy it consumes and will make high speed data access a lot cheaper.

Usually routers convert incoming fiber-optic signals into electrical signals and store it in the memory till the time they are processed. The electrical signals are again converted back to optical signals so that they can be sent back. This is a lengthy and costly process that also eats up a lot of energy. So Chan and his team at MIT developed technology they call as flow switching that will eliminate all these conversions.

Many analysts are of the opinion that this could prove expensive to replace current routers, but again a speedier internet could be a huge achievement in the world of technology that can help industries flourish better.

The latest Audi-R8 is a striking car with matte gold finish that has already hit the roads of Dubai. The rich and the famous of Dubai are making a rush for this golden wonder and is quite unlike the bright chrome mirror finishes that most super cars offer. Onlookers will not get blinded with a brilliant reflective surface but instead can have a closer look at its rich matte finish, which sets this car apart from all other GT machines.

The rich color of gold and the superb matte finish has even made the black Audi R8 look dull. This latest sports car was also spotted in Moscow, Russia. Some of the noteworthy features of Audi R8 are mid-mounted V8 FSI engine, quattro permanent four wheel drive and Audi space frame aluminum body. The engine can deliver almost 420 HP and sprints the car from 0 to 60 mph at 4.5 seconds and can go up to 187 mph. The exact price for the golden makeover is not yet known, but the look definitely outshines all other black and gray cars.

Though gold lovers may not get to drive a car made of gold but they have a possibility of driving a golden car with this remarkable golden Audi R8.

IIT Team develops world’s cheapest laptop @ $35

Posted by admin On July - 24 - 2010

Research team at the Indian Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Sciences developed the world’s cheapest laptop that will cost only $35. India’s human Resource Development Minister, Mr. Kapil Sibal has already given the green signal to start mass production of this remarkable touch-screen computing device.

Talks are already going on with global manufacturers to start mass production of this latest and strikingly low cost computing gadget; the target audience being mainly students.

Sibal also told a news conference that technology has reached such a stage of development that today the motherboard, its chip, the processing, connectivity etc, including memory display and all other requirements can be met at a mere cost of around $35.

This advanced computing device has everything you can possibly ask for such as internet browsers, PDF readers, video conferencing and has enough flexibility to incorporate any other facility or components as per individual requirements.
This is a Linux based computing device that will hit the market by 2011. Sibal further confirmed that after its introduction to higher educational institutions the price may be further dropped to $20 then eventually to $10.

Eliminate all those unnecessary sounds from your surroundings which create a hindrance while talking on a mobile phone. The CeBIT fair on Tuesday July 20th 2010, witnessed the introduction of ‘silent sounds’ a new and advanced technology that transforms lip movements into a computer generated voice for the listener at the other end of the phone.

This remarkable device developed by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology aims to read each and every lip movement and transform them into sounds. This sort of a device is particularly helpful for people who have lost their voices. Apart from this any other user can take full advantage of this innovative electronic device that will allow them to make silent calls without bothering others. This handset will decipher the movements of your mouth by measuring muscle activity and then concert them into sound or speech exclusively for the listener.

This technology apart from providing a great help to people who cannot speak, is also a means to provide security, where you have to share something urgent and confidential over the phone and do not want anyone to eavesdrop. Another noteworthy feature is that this device is universal and can translate any language spoken into the language of the listener. Good news for office goers also! KIT scientists confirmed that they are also working on technology to be used in an office environment.
