AI: the worthless past

The AI has been going wrong for long; it's to correct the path. The software models have offered little over more than 40 years, and its time to consider a real solution; a hardware one . Click the title for details

Software Research

Software is lagging and it takes a hardware firm to trigger it; Intel manycore products (up to 100 so far; breaking the TFLOPS performance barrier of a single chip) will push the software makers and the academia to explore ways of making use of huge number of cores on a chip and figure out new applications.

IBM Unveils Biggest Brain Simulator Yet

Scientists and engineers at IBM revealed yesterday that they have created the largest brain simulation on a supercomputer to date. The number of neurons and synapses in the simulation exceed those in a cat’s brain; previous simulations have reached only the level of mouse and rat brains. The cortical simulator, called C2, runs on Dawn, a Blue Gene/P supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Please pay attention to number 6 .... isn't this great?!!!! can Apple do that? their OS package has been light for long and they screwed up every chance for reduction

Google 10^100 project

Google has started the voting process to give 10 Million US Dollars to the winning idea, click the title to read about the project and vote for one.

Please do your part and vote ... it is easy

The only 2 major choices ...

I thought switching to Apple would solve my computing problems ... turned out just another choice

802.11n Wi-Fi standard finally approved

It took the IEEE 7 years to approve the new standard in wireless networking, and it is not a draft anymore.

Maybe this is why some countries don't have standards and don't even believe in standards; it is a time consuming process. It seems that the Americans, British, French, German, Japanese and ... don't care about time

Khalid Bin Al Waleed (Abu Suleiman)

This is what Khalid Bin Al Waleed (Abu Suleiman) has said before he died, and his statement was written on his tomb
I am just wondering what any Muslim Chief of Staff today would dare write on his tomb, let alone the rulers

MS Vista ...

Using my Wi-Fi at KSU, I surf too fast; if I need a file, I would rather get it from the Internet, because my hard disk under MS Vista is a bit slower

My dreams come true

Kindle from Amazon ....


Back in the year 1992, and while working on my Ph.D. at UAH, the idea of a technology replacing the hefty books came to miy mind, it was something like this little fellow with some era-specific difference; like wireless data connections, as it was not invented or even visioned at that time, and the missing things like colors and annotations and copy/patse functions ... which must be coming soon.

TURKEY ... thanks

لندعم المنتج التركي، ولنقدر لتركيا المسلمة موقفها الشجاع في الوقوف إلى جانب الأهل في فلسطين، والذي برز في اكثر من موقف كان منه موقف السيد رجب الطيب اوردغان في دافوس، حيث وجه صفعة قوية لرئيس الكيان الصهيوني. كذلك موقف الوفد تركيا الإغاثي الذي كان أول الوفود التي وصلت الى غزة بعد إنتهاء العدوان

لنقف ضد محاولات الصهيونية والغرب وأتباعهم للنيل من تركيا التي كانت وستظل إن شاء الله قلعة من قلاع الإسلام
