Futuristic concept of mobiles

The idea of this concept was to exploit the internet ability in a mobile device. Touch screen, built in camera, scanner, WiFi, google map (hopefully google earth), google search, image search? all in one device. See a building through it, it will give you the image search result right on the spot.


Choose a building and touch a floor and it tells you more details of the building. You can use it when you want to know a car model, an insect name, what kind of food is served at a restaurant and how much, who built a bridge, etc. With detail informations like that, this gadget might only be used by secret service agents. Very futuristic concept.

world's thinnest QWERTY keypad mobile

One of the less known but innovative mobile maker Neoi has claimed that their 906 series is the World’s Thinnest QWERTY Phone.

If this is true, then I am quite amazed at what Neoi packed into a device that looks more like a calculator than a cellular phone. To give you an idea of its size, the 906 is the size of a credit card.

This Tri-Band GSM/GPRS phone has a TFT display with 262K colors. Not only does it have a QWERTY keyboard, but it appears to have some other buttons that serve as shortcut keys of some kind. Other features include an audio player with an FM radio. The 906 can also record audio, and the camera is capable of recording video footage.

As for memory, the 906 comes with 512 MB built-in memory, plus an expandable Micro SD Card for up to 8GB of extra storage space. It is Bluetooth Compatible, and USB bi-directional. The company has said that users “will get more Applications as they evolve in beginning 2009″, and Neoi is very proud that this is “the world’s first micro-sized Java2Me Handphone”.

Sadly, it is not known when the 906 will be coming out, as the site doesn’t seem to give a release date or a price.Am waiting for that!!!

HT-$12 The Holodomor Truth

The Holodomor Truth:

Holodomor or Golodomor is the great Soviet famine of 1932-1933 affected most major grain-producing agricultural areas of the Soviet Union, including Northern Caucasus, Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.

The communist government led by Joseph Stalin seized tonnes of grains from common people and exported them to the west and other European countries in order to maintain the rapid developments due to industrialization or the industrial revolution. This aggressive policy of the communists led of the death of around 6-8 million innocent people due to poverty and hunger during 1932-33.

Holodomor or Golodomor as it was previously called means great hunger or mass hunger there by it got its name. Many people especially by the Ukrainians considered Golodomor as genocide. But the European politicians viewed this differently by agreeing that the famine in the Soviet Union was not an attempt to destroy the Ukrainian nation, but an ineffective economic policy of the Communist governments of the Republics of the Soviet Union.

Viktor Yuschenko, who assumed power in Ukraine in 2004, wanted to gain popularity to this issue and to attract the world he changed Goldomor to Holodomor so that it can be sound like holocaust. But this time also the EU rejected this as an act of genocide which was a defeat for Ukraine.

LED Blow On-Off Candles

The LED Blow On-Off Candles are solid wax (except for some electronics) and feature a natural-looking, flickering light just like normal candles, but they have a couple of extra techno enhanced powers. Regular candles will blow out if you blow on the flame, but these LED candles will also blow on. All you have to do is use the master on/off switch on the bottom, and these candles will turn on and off with just a puff at the “flame”. Even better, each candle has a switch to select either a cool blue flame, or a more realistic yellowish flame. From the proper distance and height, these candles will fool everyone into thinking they are the real thing; they are a fantastic way to put candles where it is too dangerous to have open flames.

Music headphones can interfere with heart devices

As the world gonna reach a stage that people cant survive without mobile phones, ipods,etc. I certainly don't think people should overreact to this information. Headphones contain magnets, and some of these magnets are powerful, but it's smart to keep small electronics at least a few inches from implanted medical devices, and not let someone wearing headphones lean against your chest if you have one.

Multimedia In Education

In Education, multimedia is used to produce computer-based training courses (popularly called CBTs) and reference books like encyclopedia and almanacs. A CBT lets the user go through a series of presentations, text about a particular topic, and associated illustrations in various information formats.Edutainment is an informal term used to describe combining education with entertainment, especially multimedia entertainment.

Learning theory in the past decade has expanded dramatically because of the introduction of multimedia. Several lines of research have evolved (e.g. Cognitive load, Multimedia learning, and the list goes on). The possibilities for learning and instruction are nearly endless.

Multimedia artist

Multimedia artists are contemporary artists who use a wide range of media to communicate their art. Such media range from installation art, to rooms containing found objects or other material, to kinetic sculpture, to sound and visual effects.

It is important to distinguish between multimedia art and mixed media art works. Within the visual arts, mixed media tends to refer to work that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media - such as certain works of Jane Frank which merge painting and sculpture , for example. A work on canvas that combines oil paint, newspaper collage, chalk, glass, and ink, for example, could be called a "mixed media" work - but not a work of "multimedia art." Multimedia art implies a broader scope than mixed media, as in creations combining visual art media with elements usually considered the proper domain of (for example) literature, drama, dance, film making, or music.

Multimedia artwork also frequently engages senses other than sight, such as hearing, touch, or smell. A multimedia artwork can also move, occupy time, or develop over a span of time, instead of remaining static (as does a traditional painting or sculpture). Another frequent trait of multimedia artworks is the use of advanced technological means, such as electronic or computer-generated sound, video animation and interactivity.

Nevertheless, in contemporary terms, opera or even movies would not properly be considered "multimedia art." A work of multimedia art is usually on a smaller scale than an opera or a movie, much less tradition-bound, and typically created entirely by a single person (rather than the collaborative effort of opera or moviemaking). A multimedia work also usually does not require performers. If human performers are used, they are usually ordinary, untrained people, doing nothing requiring any advanced or traditional training, as opposed to trained singers or actors. Multimedia artwork is often presented in a curated museum or gallery setting, in which the piece is understood to be an extended form of visual art. The creator of a multimedia work of art is typically someone with a formal background in visual art.

DNA Strands as Fibre Optic Cables

DNA strands can be easily converted into tiny fibre optic cables that guide light along their length. Optical fibres made this way could be important in optical computers, which use light rather than electricity to perform calculations, or in artificial photosynthesis systems that may replace today's solar panels.
Both kinds of device need small-scale light-carrying "wires" that pipe photons to where they are needed. These wires build themselves from a mixture of DNA and molecules called chromophores that can absorb and pass on light.
The result is similar to natural photonic wires found inside organisms like algae, where they are used to transport photons to parts of a cell where their energy can be tapped. In these wires, chromophores are lined up in chains to channel photons.

Incredible New Military Robot

Meet BigDog, a mechanical mutt that does more than snare Frisbees and irrigate fire hydrants. It totes hundreds of pounds of gear so soldiers won't have to, and it will never spook under fire. BigDog's body is a steel frame that houses a one-cylinder gasoline engine driving a hydraulic system, a computer, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that uses a fiber-optic laser gyroscope and a suite of accelerometers to track its movement and position. These devices function together with the legs to create BigDog's precision gait.

Each of the robot's aluminum legs has three joints that the computer can reposition 500 times a second using hydraulic actuators. The joints are fitted with sensors that measure force and position, and the computer cross-references this data with information from the IMU to determine where the legs have to be to keep the 'bot upright and moving in the right direction. By regulating the flow of hydraulic fluid to each joint, the computer precisely places each paw.

And the robo-rover has eyes: It sports a stereo camera and laser scanner mounted where the head would go, if it had a head. Although these don't currently influence navigation, the next BigDog will use them to read the terrain ahead and spot obstacles.

PalmTop Nuclear Fusion Device Invented

The nuclear reaction that powers the Sun has been reproduced in a pocket-sized device, scientists announced today. Researchers have for years tried to harness nuclear fusion to power the world. But its cousin, nuclear fission -- the breaking apart of atoms -- is the only method so far commercially viable.
The latest invention is not in the same league as efforts to build complex commercial reactors. The new device creates a relatively small number of reactions, and requires more energy to operate than it produces.
But the configuration is so small and simple that its creators think it may inspire unforeseen applications.

Multimedia Messaging Service

Multimedia Messaging Service, MMS for short, is a cellular telephone standard for sending messages that include multimedia objects (images, audio, video, rich text). MMS is an extension of the SMS standard, allowing longer message lengths and using WAP to display the content. Its most popular use is sending photographs from camera-equipped handsets, although it is also popular as a method of delivering ringtones as well. The standard is developed by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), although during development it was part of the 3GPP and WAP groups.

MMS messages are delivered in a fashion almost identical to SMS, but any multimedia content is first encoded and inserted into a text message in a fashion similar to sending a MIME e-mail. MMS defines a subset of MIME content formats in the MMS Message Encapsulation specification. The message is then forwarded to the carrier's SMS store and store and forward server, the "MMS relay". If the receiver is on another carrier, the relay forwards the message to the recipient's carrier using the Internet.

Once it reaches the correct MMS relay for the receiver, the content is extracted and sent to a temporary storage server (often the same process as the relay) with an HTTP as front-end. An SMS "control message" containing the URL of the content is then sent to the recipient's handset to trigger the receiver's WAP browser to open and receive the content from the embedded URL. Several other messages are exchanged to indicate status of the delivery attempt.

Multimedia

Multimedia is media and content that utilizes a combination of different content forms. The term can be used as a noun (a medium with multiple content forms) or as an adjective describing a medium as having multiple content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only utilize traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video and interactivity content forms.

Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia (as an adjective) also describes electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is similar to traditionalmixed media in fine art , but with a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application.

ZON Multimédia

ZON Multimédia is a Portuguese media holding company, whose main assets include a satellite, cable operator and ISP (TV Cabo) and a movie distributor (Lusomundo) and a virtual carrier of mobile phone services. Its services include cable television, cable internet and VOIP. ZON Multimédia (formerly PT Multimédia) is the spun-off media arm of Portugal Telecom. ZON Multimédia produces several premium channels for the TV Cabo platform, which include Sport TV, TVCine, MOV and a shareholding on SIC Notícias. Lusomundo is also the home-video distributor of Walt Disney Pictures and Paramount Pictures releases in the Portuguese market, alongside of launching several independent and European titles.
TV Cabo was founded in 1994, and was the second cable operator to be founded in Portugal (the first was the regional Bragatel, which was acquired by TV Cabo in 2007). TV Cabo is the sole cable provider in many areas of the country, which leads to its monopolistic position.

Diamond Multimedia

30Diamond Multimedia is a company that specializes in many forms of multimedia technology. They have produced graphics cards, motherboards, modems, sound cards and MP3 players, however the company began with the production the TrackStar a PC add-on card which emulated Apple II computers. They were one of the major players in the 2D and early 3D graphics card competition throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.
Graphics Cards
Speedstar
Diamond's earliest line, now defunct, was the Speedstar series. The line typically consisted of the cheaper, value-oriented chips in low-cost implementations. Some were actually just lesser ISA port versions of their very powerful PCI port siblings, like the Tseng Labs ET4000, and thus their throughput was reduced, a deciding factor for VGA graphics speed at the time.

Cancer Chemotherapy

Normally, your cells grow and die in a controlled way. Cancer cells keep forming without control. Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can stop these cells from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects.

During chemotherapy you may have no side effects or just a few. The kinds of side effects you have depend on the type and dose of chemotherapy you get. Side effects vary, but common ones are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, pain and hair loss. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy, so most side effects gradually go away.

Your course of therapy will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal and how your body responds. You may get treatment every day, every week or every month. You may have breaks between treatments so that your body has a chance to build new healthy cells. You might take the drugs by mouth, in a shot or intravenously.

Major characteristics of multimedia

Multimedia presentations may be viewed in person on stage, projected, transmitted, or played locally with a media player. A broadcast may be a live or recorded multimedia presentation. Broadcasts and recordings can be either analog or digital electronic media technology. Digital online multimedia may be downloaded or streamed. Streaming multimedia may be live or on-demand.

Multimedia games and simulations may be used in a physical environment with special effects, with multiple users in an online network, or locally with an offline computer, game system, or simulator.

The various formats of technological or digital multimedia may be intended to enhance the users' experience, for example to make it easier and faster to convey information. Or in entertainment or art, to transcend everyday experience.

Artificial Intelligence

AI, or artificial intelligence, is a division of computer science that explores intelligent behavior, learning and adaptation in machines. The idea of automating tasks that currently require intelligent behavior is the basis for most research in the field of artificial intelligence. Providing solutions to real life problems through the production of artificial intelligence software or machines is the ultimate goal.

Artificial intelligence systems have many practical uses in business, from organizing operations to investing in stocks. Many of these applications are made up of networks similar to the neurons in a human brain, which are known to do extremely well in pattern recognition.

The attacks on 9/11 have brought about much renewed interest and funding for artificial intelligence research. New research in threat-detection, including machine vision research and data-mining, is aimed at helping to solidify our nation’s security.

Multimedia Usage

Creative Industries

Creative Industries use multimedia for a variety of purposes ranging from fine arts, to entertainment, to commercial art, to journalism, to media and software services provided for any of the industries listed below. An individual multimedia designer may cover the spectrum throughout their career. Request for their skills range from technical, to analytical, to creative.

Commercial

Much of the electronic old and new media utilized by commercial artists is multimedia. Exciting presentations are used to grab and keep attention in advertising. Industrial, business to business, and interoffice communications are often developed by creative services firms for advanced multimedia presentations beyond simple slide shows to sell ideas or liven-up training. Commercial multimedia developers may be hired to design for governmental services and nonprofit services applications as well.

Multimedia Fusion

Multimedia Fusion, often referred to as MMF, is a software authoring tool mostly used for game development or prototyping. The program is created by Clickteam who bought the rights to the name "Multimedia Fusion" from IMSI. This program was the latest in the Klik series of development software (until early 2007 when Clickteam introduced Multimedia Fusion 2 and The Games Factory 2), and included an extensive list of features as well as bug fixes. The program uses a "point and click" programming language much like a table (the Event Editor) to program an application. Recently four bonus packs were released, introducing some new objects with new features, such as alpha blending per pixel, named variables and isometric grid.

A new version of Multimedia Fusion, Multimedia Fusion 2, was released on June 30, 2006. It is available in three different varieties: The Games Factory 2, Multimedia Fusion 2 and Multimedia Fusion 2 Developer, with more features being in the latter versions than the former.

Categorization of multimedia

Multimedia may be broadly divided into linear and non-linear categories. Linear active content progresses without any navigation control for the viewer such as cinema presentation. Non-linear content offers user interactivity to control progress as used with computer games or used in self-paced computer based training. Hypermedia is an example of non-linear content.

Multimedia presentations can be live or recorded. A recorded presentation may allow interactivity via a navigationsystem. A live multimedia presentation may allow interactivity via an interaction with the presenter or performer.

Multimedia In Entertainment And Fine Arts

Multimedia is heavily used in the entertainment industry, especially to develop special effects in movies and animations. Multimedia games are a popular pastime and are software programs available either as CD- ROMs or online. Some video games also use multimedia features. Multimedia applications that allow users to actively participate instead of just sitting by as passive recipients of information are called Interactive Multimedia. In the Arts there are multimedia artists, whose minds are able to blend techniques using different media that in some way incorporates interaction with the viewer. One of the most relevant could be Peter Greenway who is melding Cinema with Opera and all sorts of digital media. Another approach entails the creation of multimedia that can be displayed in a traditional fine arts arena, such as an art gallery. Although multimedia display material may be volatile, the survivability of the content is as strong as any traditional media. Digital recording material may be just as durable and infinitely reproducible with perfect copies every time.

Multimedia Computer

A multimedia computer is a computer, that is optimized for high multimedia performance, enabling rich multimedia experience.
Early home computers simply lacked the power and storage necessary for true multimedia. The games for these systems, along with the demo scene were able to achieve high sophistication and technical polish using only simple, blocky graphics and digitally-generated sound. The Amiga 1000 from Commodore has been called the first multimedia computer. Its groundbreaking animation, graphics and sound technologies enabled multimedia content to flourish. Famous demos such as the Boing Ball and Juggler showed off the Amiga's abilities. Later the Atari ST series and Apple Macintosh II extended the concept; the Atari integrated a MIDI port and was the first computer under $1000USD to have 1 megabyte of RAM which is a realistic minimum for multimedia content and the Macintosh was the first computer able to display true photorealistic graphics as well as integrating a CD-ROM drive, whose high capacity was essential for delivering multimedia content in the pre-Internet era.
Multimedia capabilities weren't common on IBM PC compatibles until the advent of Windows 3.0 and the MPC standards in the early 1990s. The original PCs were devised as "serious" business machines and colorful graphics and powerful sound abilities weren't a priority. The few games available suffered from slow video hardware, PC speaker sound and limited color palette when compared to its contemporaries. But as PCs penetrated the home market in the late 1980s, a thriving industry arose to equip PCs to take advantage of the latest sound, graphics and animation technologies. Creative's SoundBlaster series of sound cards, as well as video cards from ATi, nVidia and Matrox soon became standard equipment for most PCs sold.
Most PCs today have good multimedia features. They have dual- or single-core CPUs clocked at 3.0 GHz or faster, at least 1GB of RAM, a 128 MB or higher video card and TV Tuner card. Popular graphics cards include Nvidia Gforce or ATI Radeon. The Intel Viiv platform, and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition are some of today's products aimed at multimedia computing.
More recently, high-performance devices have become more compact, and multimedia computer capabilities are found in mobile devices such as the Apple iPhone and Nokia Nseries, featuring DVD-like video quality, megapixel class cameras, fully capable browser, music and video players, podcasting, blogging, as well as e-mail, instant messaging, presence and internet call (VoIP) functionality. Multiradios help to offer broadband wireless connectivity, including for instance WCDMA/HSDPA and WLAN/Wifi. Devices are also increasingly equipped with GPS receivers and maps applications, providing new capabilities for location-aware services. The Nseries devices are also expandable, allowing for the addition of multiple applications and multimedia content.
