Intel’s new SSD is the 6Gbps 510 series

We knew that Intel would release some new SSD, sooner or later, and it turns out today was the day. The company unveiled the DSS series 510 with a 6Gbps fast interface to allow maximum flow in the latest motherboards of today, such as packing Intel chipsets own point of Cougar.

In its press release pointed out that Intel's 510 series is capable of reading data over 500Mbps and wrote more than 315MBps, that significantly higher rates compared to older products. The 510 does not seem as fast as we heard the first reports of the second generation SSD based SandForce (chipsets used as SandForce SF-2200), but Intel is just behind the writing speed. Intel has focused more on reliability and brand recognition with its SSD therefore should not be a problem if you (again), do not offer the fastest products on the market.

new units are built on Intel's 34nm companies, MLC NAND architecture. The big change with the 510 is using a Marvell controller instead of internally developed by Intel.

The transition to 6 Gbps SATA III will eliminate an important bottleneck flow SSD, although users will have a new motherboard to take advantage of it. Still, they are updated (and they need new motherboards, flawless sand bridge) you should see a significant increase in transfer rate compared to older products. older consumers Intel SSD X25-M a ceiling of sequential read / write speeds of 250Mbps and 100Mbps.

510 ship 120GB SSD and 250GB 1000-unit prices of most of the $ 284 and $ 584. Everyone makes a three-year warranty.

PlayStation 4 in Progress

Sony held a conference for its investors and resolve thedifficult question of why these turbulent PSN hack, the costs of research anddevelopment have increased recently.

Masaru Kato, Chief Financial Officer and Executive VicePresident, Sony has answered the question. He said that while the PS3 has a lotof life left in it is already in progress "for the future from thebeginning." He also said that he cannot discuss, which means that you havenot even heard anyone mentioning a successor to the Sony PS3 in the nearfuture.

It confirmed that Sony is already working on the PlayStation4. It's good for their competitor in the console space is planned.

E3 next month, you can expect Nintendo to reveal Wii 2 Thereis also a rumor that Microsoft is planning to steal some thunder from Nintendoalso inform the next Xbox during the show. If this happens, you can expect toappear on both consoles this holiday season next year.

Regardless of what Microsoft is doing, the Wii 2 should bemore powerful than the PS3, that is, from 2013, Sony has sold a device that canbe disarmed. Advantage of Blu-ray is also lost as the Wii 2 is scheduled forBlu-ray.

With PS4 in development+ Sony may opt for its launch windowcarefully. Normally, the company operates in a cycle of 10 years for eachconsole, which means the PS4 should not be expected before 2016. However, Sonymay have its hand forced if both Microsoft and Nintendo launch next year. Ifthey do, the PS3 is very old in 5 years.

Motorized tricycle goes 18 mph using just a couple of Electric Drills

The average motorcycle can be up to 100 mph. This plan barely twenty. The average bike has two wheels. This is three. The average motorcycle is powered by a compression internal combustion gasoline engine gobling extreme power. This? E 'powered by a pair of 18-volt electric.

I expect you to get to rub your eyes. Yes, I actually wrote this. Meet EX truck.

This concept car designed by Nils FEVER consists primarily of bicycle parts changed. The acceleration is due to two 18-volt drillswhich are able to accelerate EX with a maximum of one mile per volt, or 18 miles per hour.

This is not a practice round. A tricycle with two front wheels, the vehicle depends on a lightweight bridge EX up on the handlebars, as they are, open arms. For cornering, the driver simply tilts his body is responsible for the EX only used for braking and throttle control.

The exercises are exercises EX electric phlegmatic Bosch, which makes this bike, like your average Beamer, a German motor vehicle. They do not have much power, however, if there is something that the makers of the need to skimp on metals EX was to cover the frame.

Instead, all the wire-frame skeleton, are so light that you can not go half speed respectable EX ... although, unlike the mean motion, do not scrape off half your meat, if you go to escape during the race.

According to its makers are EX Apart from the fact that not a word we still get their points and they are right "eccentric.": This is definitely a bike for the eccentric really. This does not mean that this is not the stuff fine on three wheels, we've seen in months, though.

Powermat NFC Wireless Charging mats

In practice objects equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) chips can contain tags filled with information, this could be either text or web url’s for example. When another NFC device (i.e. a smartphone) comes into close proximity to the latter it can read the data on the tag.

The problem with NFC in my opinion is that in terms of the mobile community it has not had much chance to take off, especially with phones like the Nexus S which as most people will know is currently the only Android handset to feature said technology.

However, Powermat seems to think there is some long-term potential with it as they have developed an antenna that supports contactless NFC and combined this with their own wireless charging technology. According to Powermat Chief Executive Ran Poliakine such a product should help drive the adoption of NFC whilst boosting Powermat sales in the process.

Poliakine also believes that we will cease to use wired power cords for gadgets in the not to distant future (10 years). However, phones that are compatible with Powermat’s new, NFC-enabled silicon have yet to launch, but once they do Poliakine states that you will be able to purchase small items from retailers with a simple swipe of your device.

Panasonic Cancel Jungle Handheld Gaming Device

The world of portable gaming devices have been particularly active in recent times. Nintendo launches 3DS many countries, Sony has given us the first details of the PSP 2, and there's a new Pokemon game out a couple of days.

With all this you would be forgiven for forgetting, a new handheld device, developed by Panasonic called the Jungle. It was announced in October last year and should focus exclusively on allowing players to play MMO and other online games out of their PCs. He was actually going to a Pocket PC gives you access to popular games like World of Warcraft on the go.

I was skeptical at the time, and now it looks like Panasonic has made the jungle is not viable. The Japanese firm has decided its new strategy that focuses on technology and environmental health means gaming equipment was not worth pursuing further.

Where Humans Dare Not : NASA’s Spidernaut robots will go

While the robot pictured made above may seem scary to those individuals who experience from arachnophobia, in fact it’s one of the next additional car programs (EVR) that NASA is operating on for upcoming space-borne development tasks. Properly known as “Spidernaut” for its arachnid creativity, it appears like its real-life version enough that we believe the fact we did not want in order to match the element in a black street.

Built by groups at the Jackson Place Middle, Spidernaut has been created to fix the exclusive issues that the next technology of space trip existing. With programs still in the operates at NASA to deliver a manned car to Mars and other beautiful vacation spots, the business recommendations for the tasks contact for automobiles that are either too huge or too weak to be created here on Soil. NASA’s option is to deliver several payloads into space to develop space channels that will become space-docks. These channels will be the holding details for the development of the automobiles required to aid human being life during extensive inter-planetary trips. To help with the developing procedure, Spidernauts will be used to do function that would either be too risky or would need a stage of management that would be challenging for a person being in an area fit.

Spidernaut straddling

The experts at NASA liked the concept of using an arachnid-inspired EVR for the benefits its eight feet would provide for space-borne development. Using Spidernaut is valuable because its eight feet will be able to propagate the bodyweight of the EVR out while journeying over components that are in development and the capability to straddle elements like solar arrays and telescope showcases while accomplishing servicing. This will allow the EVR to function on said components without putting them in threat of being broken by Spidernaut itself.

The Spidernaut even has the capability to make its own web, just like a actual examine, for use in journeying between two components. Using space tethers, the EVR can make a assistance program that will allow it to examine around to the different places it needs to go. The addition of this capability is genuine professional on NASA’s aspect as this assistance program will be able to move and respond but not separate, generating it suitable for the afflication of space.

Right now there is one operating magic size in Dallas that is being designed for upcoming tasks, and is being used as the time frame for other EVR’s being designed for different requirements.

Apple HDTV heading our way

If you thought that there was no hope for an HDTV from Apple, think again. Blogs buzzing today with rumors that Apple TV HD can actually become a reality by the end of 2011. So what Apple fans into a frenzy? Wall Street analyst Brian White Ticonderoga Securities reportedly told investors to expect Apple to launch a "Smart TV" at the end of the year. We're a bit dubious, but whites may actually be on some thing.

White was ranked as one of the leading analysts in the category Electronics Industry by Forbes in 2009, so the guy does not have credibility. He says that HDTV is not just another version of Apple TV, but the real "television product in all respects to the consumer." We heard these rumors for a while 'time, but White said that Apple is "moving faster than a slower pace than the market expected."

It is rumored that television costs about $ 2000. In addition to obtaining a clean and sleak characteristitcly Apple, which will offer the same quality screen, or better, as does the 27-inch iMac from Apple.

What we like to see in HDTV from Apple? Obviously, it would require an HDTV connected to the Internet and offer HDTV transmission applications offer many features now a days. But let's see Pandora replaced by iTunes, or two applications of live music?

There was talk that the TV offers a package that allows users to unleash all content on iTunes, allowing you to listen to TV shows, movies and music to your TV for a fixed rate. AirPlay integration with Apple appears to be a fact.

Would probably include an HDTV Apple plenty of IPAD and integration. If you already use your iPad to stream Netflix, Time Warner Cable, Hulu, and other multimedia applications, there will certainly be a way to connect to your TV. The possibilities of a relationship-IPAD HTDV Apple is really infinite.

KINECTS adapted to detect disorder symptoms in children

The motion controller KINECTS is no stranger to the medical procedures were reported in January that slowly unfolding in the operating room for surgical care. But now researchers at the University of Minnesota, Microsoft KINECTS sensors once more as a way to measure disorder symptoms in children.

The team, composed of a number of researchers from the Minnesota Medical Association, Science, Engineering and Education / School of Human Development, received an amount of $ 3,000,000 National Science Foundation grant to use in their research KINECTS. Were seeking to observe and analyze the behavior and movement abnormalities in children. These models could indicate possible behavior problems such as OCD, autism and attention deficit disorders.

Traditionally, these observations made by people via video recordings of patients. But one of the leading researchers in the project believe KINECTS based system could take the subjectivity of the process. This could result in significant savings of thousands of dollars compared to other diagnostic methods and conventional procedures. In some cases, the system KINECTS may eventually reduce costs up to $ 100,000 and also prevent the need to place sensors intrusive for the child.

Open-source PC operating systems and Microsoft KINECTS official SDK which was released earlier this month (spring for a non-commercial use) is to help researchers to adapt technology to their needs. But it will be another six months before their system is ready for testing.
