Keyboard & Mouse from Bamboo

william — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 01:39:29 +0000

Green technology is a theme that might be appropriate to reference the creation of a keyboard and mouse products made from bamboo. The results of this innovation is a computer input device of a computer mouse and keyboard using a wireless connection, where there is almost no plastic materials in the component manufacturer, but using bamboo as a replacement.

Bamboo plants is an option to replace the plastic or the like because this type of tropical plant species are resistant to moisture and has a strong texture so it is not uncommon to find the bamboo used as furniture or home furnishings, and some houses are only built only with bamboo.

Back to our topic about computer device of this bamboo. On the keyboard there are as many as 108 features a button layout QWERTYAS equipped with some shortcut keys. At the bottom there is a membrane keypad for standard switching mechanism and is connected with receiver / micro USB receiver (2.4 GHz wireless).

For the mouse, also uses the same wireless connection with the keyboard, while the use of bamboo in almost all parts of the mouse, not only on the upper side of the mouse, but also on the bottom and the two main buttons. To scroll wheel (scroll) to be the only non-bamboo material for exterior physical appearance, but using a type of artificial rubber that offers the convenience of turning under your fingers.

For the symbols function keys on the keyboard and mouse do not appear in printed form or as commonly arise on other devices, but the uniqueness of the bamboo are all symbols and functions on the device directly over the media carved bamboo. It can add depth artistic experience for its users.

The keyboard appears with a weight of 1020 grams and measures 465 x 160 x 25 mm, while the mouse weighs about 69 grams and measures: 57 x 94 x 35 mm. Both devices are sold in a combo package price of U.S. $ 89.

Scientists Create Processors From Plastics

william — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 14:08:43 +0000

LONDON – What would happen if the processor that had been made with silicon, modified from unused materials? A group of scientists in Europe have used 4000 plastic, or organic transistors to make a microprocessor out of plastic.

The chip size of two inches and built on a flexible plastic foil and medium, which was mentioned as an alternative to silicon. According to Jan Genoe in nanotechnology center IMEC in Leuven, Belgium This chip can be cheap, environmentally friendly and flexible.

From the test results indicate that this new chip does not have the power such as supercomputers and processor in general. The chip can only run a simple program of 16 instructions. This should be hardcoded into the second foil etched with plastic circuits can be connected to the processor.

Launched by Tech Eye, Monday (3/28/2011), the processor is running at 6Hz and the only force able to process information in the eight-bit pieces at most. It is slightly slower than the PC in the era of the 1980s, or indeed not too quick.

However, the chip is very thin so that components can be printed onto it like ink. More work is needed to make organic transistors to smaller sizes as well. But if there is a team to manage it, it will be possible to have an organic gas sensor, gas pipe wrap to report any leaks with a flexible microprocessor to clean the noisy signal.

It is possible in the future, the processor-based plastic would be an option to substitute silicon. This of course will be environmentally friendly and cheap, of course.

UEFI Technology Make Booting Time Just in Seconds Count

william — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 03:56:01 +0000

Get ready to say goodbye to the BIOS and now welcome his successor, UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). The new technology is what would reduce the time booting a computer drastically.

Reportedly, UEFI will be invested in the latest generation of computers. With this technology, the computer can be lit only in seconds. Investigate a calibration, UEFI apparently this software is developed from the BIOS as well.

Reported by the Telegraph and quoted on Tuesday (10/05/2010) BIOS technology that is used to boot up the computer since 1979 admittedly slow. This is one reason why the computer takes a long time when first turned on.

Conversely UEFI, specifically designed to meet the needs of modern computer and immediately became the leading technology that is present on many computers. And do not forget, UEFI allows the computer to live and die only a few seconds.

“At this time, takes 25 to 30 seconds to boot before seeing the first bit of the sign on the OS. With UEFI, could more quickly,” said Chief Mark Doran UEFI forum. But unfortunately Doran did not mention how fast it takes.

“This is not the instant-on, but it is far better than the conventional technology that can handle the BIOS,” he added.

It is said by him, UEFI is a system that better able to adapt, to cope with a keyboard and peripherals connected to different ports, and can be used to support the touch screen and the latest generation of gesture interfaces.

The experts predict, will begin to enliven UEFI computer market next year. Yes, it’s no surprise that experts predict will be very interested UEFI. The reason, many computer vendors are working hard to cut the boot time on their computers. One of them is Google, which immediately slid Chrome OS is rumored to be making a computer can be lit in a short time.

Mysterious code ’19790509 ‘in Stuxnet

william — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 03:43:49 +0000

Stuxnet Virus since last September, has become a hot discussion of computer security experts the world. Stuxnet known to threaten a number of computers in a number of countries, especially Iran.

A computer virus is touted to take over and control the Iranian nuclear project remotely. The virus, called Stuxnet have different levels of sophistication with these other viruses, according to the researchers may be made by an organization that supported by the government of the United States and Israel. Is it true that Israel was behind the virus?.

The mystery of who is behind the development of the virus is gradually revealed. Previously, Frank Rieger Head GSMK technology, encrypted mobile phone maker, indicated the virus codes associated with the Jews. Because it contains a number of codes such as ‘Myrtus’. These words refer to the Book of Esther in the Old Testament story in the scriptures.

Hufftington, Sunday (03/10/2010), launched a report which strengthens the case that Stuxnet indeed associated with Jewish groups. Security research groups from Vancouver, Canada now finds code 19790509 in the language contained in the virus.

Then what is the meaning of that number, according to their number when reversed will indicate a date, ie, 09-05-1979 or May 9, 1979. Date for the Jewish community in Iran is a date that is considered historic.

On that date, the leadership of the Jewish community in Iran as well as prominent Iranian businessman Habib Elghanian, sentenced to death by Iran’s current ruling government.

“On May 9, 1979 is a historic event Habib Elghanian executed by firing squad in Tehran. He was the first Jewish people and encouraging the exodus of 100,000 people were members of the Iranian Jewish community outside the country,” the report said.

Elghanian Iranian government sentenced to death for alleged corruption and alliances with countries that are considered enemies of Iran. Elghaian often make contacts with the Zionist state of Israel.

Until now, this is not yet known if the motive for the attack Stuxnet virus is related to the revenge of the Iranian Jewish community. But investigators strongly suspect the attack associated with it. “This is just speculation,” wrote the researchers report. (Ugo)
