50 Competitor is Ready to Compete with Ipad

IPad success inspired many companies to concocting a similar product. This is emphasized by the ARM microprocessor company. They said that this year the market will be flooded with similar tablets to tens of species.

"The first tablet to be released in the second quarter (2010), and in the third quarter you'll see more," he said Roy Chen from ARM as detikINET quotes from Computer World, Friday (12/3/2010).

Although the tablet computer that would flood the market mostly China-made result, but companies in other countries also do not want to lose it. Still according to ARM, the number of devices that will rival the tablets iPad will be around 50 devices, including HP and Dell's output.

ARM also estimates there are 10 telecommunications operators who will join the world to enjoy the waterfalls of this business competition with product bundling

Cotton Yarn can Supply Power for Mobile

Cotton yarn can be a conductor of electric current for power supply for various electronic devices such as mobile phones. How does it work?

This new breakthrough developed at Cornell University in collaboration with a number of universities in Bologna and Cagliari in Italy.


Juan Hinestroza, assistant professor of Fiber Science and Apparel Design and his colleagues developed a technique to coat the cotton fibers with nano particles conducting electricity.

"Instead of regular cable, we use cotton conductive to conduct electrical current. So this conductive cotton became part of the clothing," Hinestroza said.

Hinestroza claim that they have developed technology that allows cotton remain flexible, lightweight and comfortable, although the current conductor.

"The technology exists but has been conducting fibers become stiff and heavy. This new technique makes the thread remained friends when woven, sewn or knitted," Hinestroza added as quoted from Cellularnews, Thursday (11/3/2010).

A student Hinestroza, Abbey Liebman, inspired by this technology. He also made an outfit that uses solar panels to supply power electronic devices such as mobile phones and MP3 players via a USB charger is placed at the waist.

New Atom Processor from Intel?

Intel reportedly was preparing processor Dual-Core Atom for netbooks. If true, the netbook will be capable of graphics and a more capable processor.
The News was obtained from the French site called PC Impact, Thursday (11/3/2010). Based on these rumors Intel was preparing a netbook processor called the Atom N500.

Previously, Intel's Atom processor has been made a double on the nettop brains, called the Atom 330. If the rumors are true, then the advanced version of the Atom 330 will also be present. His name D510 Intel Atom.

Not yet clear whether the two types of these new processors have a 45nm or 32nm architecture. However, Dual-Core Atom for netbooks will have a memory controller and integrated graphics. This would make netbooks more 'run'.

In previous years, Intel is quite successful with the atom processor. The problem is when will the 'new brain' be released?

If Intel to launch dual processors for netbooks brain this year, automatically he will fight with the products of single-core Atom own. Atom class processors because AMD's, not too 'achievement' and ogled the vendor.

When Intel assault with products such brain-double, AMD may be even more focused on the ULV. We'll wait the two rivals battle it.

Bing, Start to Pursue Google

Bing, search engine from Microsoft increasingly showing its fangs in order to compete with Google. During nine months in a row, Bing continued success in increasing its market share the United States.

Based on recent data from comScore, market share Bing became 11.5 percent in February, up from 11.3 percent rate in January. This is the ninth month climbed Bing position.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's new partner in the search field, Yahoo, has decreased. Their market share fell to 16.8 percent from the previous 17 percent. Another search engine, Ask. com and AOL each pocketed 3.7 percent and 2.5 percent of the market.

However, Google's performance was still impressive. They are still very dominant with a market share of 65.5 percent from 65.4 percent previously.

Microsoft did make Bing to undermine Google. Even as quoted from AFP , Thursday (11/3/2010), Microsoft held a promotion worth U.S. $ 100 million to advertise Bing.

Although still very much in comparison with Google, increasing market share Bing continuously indicates that search engines are beginning to accept the public.
