QUOTE The technology behind Google's great results As a Google user, you're familiar
with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right
results for every query as quickly as it does? The heart of Google's search technology is
PigeonRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin
at Stanford University. PigeonRank System Building upon the breakthrough work of B. F. Skinner,
Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the re...

QUOTE Overview: Surface is essentially a Windows Vista PC tucked inside a table, topped
with a 30-inch reflective surface in a clear acrylic frame. Prices will reportedly be $5,000 to
$10,000 per unit. However Microsoft said it expects prices to drop enough to make consumer
versions feasible in 3 to 5 years. Surface is a 30-inch (76 cm) display in a table-like form
factor, 22 inches (56 cm) high, 21 inches (53 cm) deep, and 42 inches (107 cm) wide. The Surface
tabletop is acrylic, and its interior frame is powder-coated steel. The software platform r...

I have read in the news paper, a local news here in the philippines that during the convention at
singapore, Bill Gates says "New technology soon to be implanted in the human body, but I will not
try this experimentation in myself.." Is it possible the somebody is working to implant computer in
the human body? Wow,,, very interesting, but do you think this will help us? if the computer is
inside our body, what does the computer do? maybe instead of using our mind the computer will think
for you... ha ha ha... that will makes us a robot... If this will happen, if bill g...

I know that you can get streaming TV on three now, but in a few months, how about having FREEVIEW on
your mobile phone? NOKIA are planning exaclly that, and providing you are in a freeview reception
area (90% ish?) you can watch it on the move. Amazing technology really! Whats your ideas?
whats next on a mobile phone? Satalite Dish ? FULL internet access ? DAB Digital Radio? Who
knows!...

I have seen on You tube some have placed small wireless video cams on RC airplanes. Does anyone here
fly RC planes or jets? Years ago, I did some storm chasing and spotting, and have always loved
tornados. With all the storms in the middle USA now a days I have had some crazy thoughts of mixing
chasing and Radio Controled air planes. I have searched all over the net, and still are to find
anyone that may have thought about are doing this. Been to a few weather forums and nobody has a
clue. I had thought that maybe here someone would be able to point me to the right pers...

This is not about computer but it is still electronic. Has anyone have seen the Anti-Crash
Technology in RC planes yet? It uses sensors to "sense" the ground-and-sky orientation of the plane
so newbies crash less often. I just have my plane today it ACT works awesome. It's like an
autopilot system preventing me from crash and burn!...

Sony patents 'real life Matrix' Obviously the news report has been hyped up to a large
extent, but this patenting is ridiculous. QUOTE The patent - based only on a theory, not on
any invention... I mean, how the hell can you patent a theory...? Does that mean I could go
off and make a patent on something currently in development and yet not fully developed and have
exclusive rights to the technology or what? And does that mean they have exclusive rights to that
technology? (I think so, but then, I'm not an expert in IP law) Anyway, this is ...

I really despise high school students that can learn real computer skills in their school; part
because my school's computer program is crap. Anybody can use the computer better than the
computer teacher, and most of us don't even get a computer class. The result? Half of my
classmates doesn't know how to use Excel or Powerpoint. Most of them hardly know what Photoshop
is. Technology is progressing at a really high rate, and it is becoming a big part of our lives.
You're basically disabled if you can't use a computer. So why doesn't high school ...

The marvels of technology surprise me to this day. Like my new MP3 player for example. It's a 1
gig, and it's smaller than my index finger. Or my newest phone, is like half the size of my old
one, with a camera, more features, and four times as much space for downloads. iPods are mildly
annoying in their marvel. They're tiny, but hold so many songs. Like the iPod nano, which holds
1, 2, 4 or 8 gigs depending on the generation. The marvels of technology amaze me. It makes me feel
old not just to remember cassette tapes, but to own a cassette player and cassett...

Here it is, the new BLU-RAY disc, the next generation of optical media that should replace DVD's
on the market. Some movies are already being sold at DVD and BLU-RAY format, although prices here
in Europe still are around 300€ to 500€ for a table BLUE-RAY reader, more or less the same a DVD
player costed when it arrived at the market. Some laptops are coming with BLUE-RAY too although they
cost around the same amount. I would like to hear your opinion about this new technology and for
those who don't know it yet here I post a link for your information: BLU-R...

Hey guys have you heard about OLED? Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) technology An OLED is
an electronic device made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When
electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. This process is called
electrophosphorescence. Even with the layered system, these systems are very thin, usually less than
500 nm (0.5 thousandths of a millimeter). When used to produce displays, OLED technology
produces self-luminous displays that do not require backlighting. These properties result in thin,
very ...

Cryogenics are the future, with the power to freeze ourselves we can sleep and not age one bit, we
can also wake up thousands of years into the future, we won't have to listen to loud noises and

like. You have an incurable virus so freeze yourself and wait for scientists to find a cure.

QUOTE A 13 year old Vietnamese boy was arrested yesterday for allegedly strangling an 81 year
old woman to death. According to the local police, Dinh The Dan "confessed that he needed money to
play online games and decided to kill and rob the woman". The woman, Mai Thi Mau lost her life for
100,000 dong (around Rs. 244). After strangling her with a rope, Dan buried her in a pile of sand in
front of his house. The saddest part is that is that he won’t even go to prison!

well, i sure that you recently heard about LCD and Plasma monitors, but .... do you know whats the
diference between them, well, its HUGE and you must be very careful if you are going to buy one of
these: QUOTE 1- Life span, the number of viewing hours a monitor provides before dimming to
half brightness, is one of the biggest advantages LCD has over plasma. Though the numbers vary among
the different brands, plasma displays generally offer around 20,000 hours, while LCD sets last for
up to 50,000 hours. Point for LCD QUOTE 2- One of plasma technology'...

Nikola Tesla was one extraordinary man. The city of Buffalo was once his play ground for his ideas.
But due to many undocumented feuds with Edison (yes the very one) Tesla's contribution to
electricity world went less than well notice... that is until now. Tesla worked on transmitting
mass volts across the distance without the aid of clumsy wires. Let's face it, the power poles
and loosely hung black wires across your block are just an eye sore. But Tesla's methods were
quickly overshadowed by Edison's quick and easy solution--run wire grids to provide e...

Hi, I'm looking for advice. I'm looking to get a new laptop. It will replace my current
desktop. Bascially it will primarily be used around the house, and occasionally for travel about
7-10 times a year (including at airports, on planes, etc). I got my last laptop back in 1999 so its
been a while. I'm looking at: Dell XPS M1710 (GeForce Go 7950 GTX) or Alienware Aurora
mALX I have looked at cnet and both of the vendors sites, but i'm still not sure. Does
anyone have any suggustions? the cnet review hinted that the mALX may loose position wi...

http://www.physorg.com/news7746.html A chip inserted into a patient's brain can allow him or
her to control a robotic arm just by thinking. This has enormous implications, seeing as the first
test patient is a paralytic, but he has been able to draw and use a computer with this arm. It works
by reading the activity of neurons then sending the data to a computer. Some scientists believe that
this will lead to an era where all we will have to do is think to accomplish most tasks-including
communication. I for one think that this will just make the obesity problem in...
