50 cent & 200 million dollars

50 cent is making a deal that is 400 million times his value, he would have made 400 millions dollars if his name was "buck",

Amazing computing power; 10 PFLOPS

A supercomputer with 80,000 processors to peak 10 PFLOPS, based on the Fujitsu's Sparc64 VIIIfx processor, an eight-core, 2.2GHz chip built on a 45-nanometer manufacturing process. Click the title for full article

Mars, what is next ...

The ChemCam will fire a laser from the rover toward rock and soil targets up to 9 meters away, vaporizing materials from a 1 millimeter area and analyzing the atomic composition of the targets' surfaces. The vaporized material, a plasma of hot gas made of free-floating ions and electrons, will be analyzed by the onboard spectrograph.

ATM Technology, the good, the bad and the ugly

We are all aware of the good here; can get money on the spot with ease, and the bad is almost known too as we all drain our accounts fast, but the ugly is that somebody else will do that for you! ... click on the title to see how to protect yourself against high-tech theft

How do you know this picture was in the stripe ? Las Vegas, Nevada - USA

CNet ...

I like CNet, and i have been a fan for over a decade, I dont buy until I check the reviews both of teh Editors and teh Customers. But the truth is that they always get me in a dilemma; in every review they make you appreciate it and hate it at teh same tiem; like this notebook has a great performance and great batter life and great screen colors but stupid touch pad they nobody can work with! are you going to but then? i am lost, really

The USA Code

Because teh USA has a solid code, look what a racial statement of a boy in shopping at Walmart has done to teh whole country at avery level. A lot more than this happens everyday in a very place in the .... and people dont even notice. Click the title for the story

Browsing fast ....

With higher browing speeds and freedom to do that from everywhere, the world looks smaller and smaller everyday

Bill Gates

Genius, rich and philanthropist ... I agree that I often times used bad words against him (only for windows ealier than 7), but I truly respect him; he is devoting his time and wealth to help people; mostly in Africa, from vaccines to circumcision that reduce AIDS spreading rate.
I wonder why our rich are stupid money dumpsters; if it is up to me, i would appoint him King of Egypt.

Made in China ? ! ..... YES

W e always ask: made in China ? ! as a gesture of saying: what ?
Now China is building a petascale supercomputer with home-grown processors, this how nations plan for the next generations. The Arabs, who once lead the world in science and innovations, can hardly build small scale computers, we only buy what others make, so the Hadeeth Shareef hits us as we eat form what others grow and wear what others make, and hence we are of no good. The 4 PFLOPS daemon will be ready by mid 2010 and will host around 12,500 cores (782 chips with 16 core each). Click the title for more.

Apophis might hit us ...

Apophis is an asterid with nearly 270 meter diameter flying around us with a 1in 37 chance to hi the earth in 2029. What do you think you should do. NASA says chance to hit the earth is so slim and getting even slimmer. The Russian space Agency is thing of a space rocket to knock it off course, just like Hollywood's "Deep Impact" .

Fastest Train

China has announced a claim of hosting teh fastest train network, top speed of 395 km/ and average of 355 km/h, while japan's average is 243 km/h and France's is 277 km/h. Spain is a country know of holding a record but teh news do not state theirs. Click the title for full tstory

Faces ....

Look at the picture and try to locate the faces, how many do you see? normally, you can locate up 9 in seconds. If you find up to 11 then you are doing good and if you can find the 13 faces, then you have a good sense of seeing (some claim that seeing 11 means smart and 13 genious ... dont know what this has to do with that)

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.

Brain Simulation

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.

Wndows 7 ...

Microsoft Technet newsletter says

Here are some interesting facts about Windows 7:

1. Millions have provided input on what they want to see in an operating system.
2. Windows 7 saw the largest beta testing program in the history, with 8 million testers worldwide.
3. We received product instrumentation and usage data from millions of PCs in more than 200 countries.
4. Tens of thousands of people have signed up to host a Windows 7 Launch Party.
5. 27 new TV ads were developed for Windows 7 across the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany and Australia.
6. Weight reduction of new Genesis Windows 7 packaging: 56 percent.
7. Percent improvement in Windows 7 Ecometrics score over Windows Vista: 50 percent.
8. Windows 7 is available at more than 45,000 retailers around the world

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
