Converting moving traffic into electricity
MagKinetics unveil a patent pending technology for converting moving traffic into electricity. They believe this practical and logical technology has the potential to solve a large portion of the world’s energy crisis. They are confident that if they can continue working with Physicists and Engineers to develop the technology further, this technology will lower Green house gas emissions, create unlimited electricity, create thousands of jobs and eliminate the need to alter the landscape as other renewable technologies require.
The implementation of the technology for generating electricity is “built into the road itself.” “Without any modification to the traveling vehicle, driving options or personal freedoms, our technology can be used to produce clean, efficient, and substantial electrical energy from merely driving in the normal course,” said the inventor and business partner co-founder, Mark Nejmeh.

Probabilistic Chips- COMPUTER SCIENTISTS ARE GREAT
Computer scientist Krishna Palem explains how permitting a small amount of error in computation could result in computer chips that consume much less power than today's designs, without compromising user experience.

Krishna Palem is a heretic. In the world of microchips, precision and perfection have always been imperative. Every step of the fabrication process involves testing and retesting and is aimed at ensuring that every chip calculates the exact answer every time. But Palem, a professor of computing at Rice University, believes that a little error can be a good thing.
Palem has developed a way for chips to use significantly less power in exchange for a small loss of precision. His concept carries the daunting moniker "probabilistic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology"--PCMOS for short. Palem's premise is that for many applications--in particular those like audio or video processing, where the final result isn't a number--maximum precision is unnecessary. Instead, chips could be designed to produce the correct answer sometimes, but only come close the rest of the time. Because the errors would be small, so would their effects: in essence, Palem believes that in computing, close enough is often good enough.
__TR10: Modeling Surprise
TR10: Modeling Surprise
M. Mitchell Waldrop
Eric Horvitz, head of the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research, talks about surprise modeling.
Combining massive quantities of data, insights into human psychology, and machine learning can help manage surprising events, says Eric Horvitz.
Much of modern life depends on forecasts: where the next hurricane will make landfall, how the stock market will react to falling home prices, who will win the next primary. While existing computer models predict many things fairly accurately, surprises still crop up, and we probably can't eliminate them. But Eric Horvitz, head of the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research, thinks we can at least minimize them, using a technique he calls "surprise modeling."

| Who: Eric Horvitz, Microsoft Research Definition: Surprise modeling combines data mining and machine learning to help people do a better job of anticipating and coping with unusual events. Impact: Although research in the field is preliminary, surprise modeling could aid decision makers in a wide range of domains, such as traffic management, preventive medicine, military planning, politics, business, and finance. Context: A prototype that alerts users to surprises in Seattle traffic patterns has proved effective in field tests involving thousands of Microsoft employees. Studies investigating broader applications are now under way. |
Horvitz stresses that surprise modeling is not about building a technological crystal ball to predict what the stock market will do tomorrow, or what al-Qaeda might do next month. But, he says, "We think we can apply these methodologies to look at the kinds of things that have surprised us in the past and then model the kinds of things that may surprise us in the future." The result could be enormously useful for decision makers in fields that range from health care to military strategy, politics to financial markets.
__VoIP Tools: Softphones & Hardphones, the basic differences. ALL FOR FREE
When talking about VoIP, you should know what are Softphones and Hardphones. Basically, they are devices that accepts your voice/audio inputs and delivers outputs as well.
Softphones are those VoIP software applications provided by your VoIP service provider. For instance, we can have Skype, Talkety, and Gizmodo as softphones. Other that the mentioned softphones, we have XLite by Counterpath . I have tried using XLite when I was required by our office to do private calls using our SIP networks . Well, we now know that Softphones are software; allowing you to make VoIP calls directly from your desktop screens. Of course, you need speakers and microphones to do the call. Once you are connected to a TCP/IP network, then most probably you can have that Softphone worked and start making calls.
Hardphones are like the regular landline phone set we have; the physical phone with dialing pads and a small screen. They are sometimes referred to as IP Phones. They are usually connected to some devices like router, hub or specialized modem. Some notable sellers of hardphones in the market today are Skype Phones, Netgears WiFi Phones, Broadcom IP Phones, Polycom, and Vonage V-Phone. In addition to that, there are many independent sellers of IP Phones in the market for you to choose from. Try also to ask your ISP provider if they have VoIP service bundled with any of their plans, maybe they have their IP Phones as well.
More likely, you now know what’s the basic difference between the two and in simple differentiation: softphones are software-based while hardphones are hardware-based. Easy!

New York Times Company Launches ShifD, a Mobile/Web/Desktop Application for Storing Personal Information
In its first introduction of a consumer technology solution, The New York Times Company has launched the beta version of ShifD. The application, which is accessible on the Web, various mobile devices and on the desktop of Adobe Air, allows users to save links, notes and places. Users can update and retrieve data through all these platforms.
Above is our interview with Times developers Nick Bilton and Michael Young, who created ShifD. We taped this piece earlier this week at the Times headquarters.
The product is getting its industry debut later today in San Francisco at the Adobe Engage conference where Bilton and Young will present. The conference will be a major introduction of Adobe Air. I will be there.
ShifD was developed by the New York Times research and development department, the group which creates new functionality for the NYTimes.com and other company sites.
An early version of ShifD was introduced at the BBC Yahoo Hack Day in London in June, where the two won first prize. At the time, Duncan Riley at TechCrunch called it a "Clever Mobile App from the NY Times." Here's a Q&A with two. (The earlier version involved an RFID chip, but doesn't now.)
Is the Times taking on Google or the smaller companies in the space? Probably not, not immediately at least. Michael Zimbalist, who heads R&D at the Times characterizes the beta launch is an "experiment."
It will interesting to see how this develops.
__Adobe Introduces Digital Rights Management for Flash
Flash, the ubiquitous Web plug-in that has driven the success of YouTube and the vast majority of online video has one big limitation: its files are not protected from being saved, mashed or republished.
Apple's QuickTime and Microsoft's Windows Media Player have robust security protocols.
Since Flash has been mostly streamed and not downloaded -- you see it then it's gone, the issue of digital rights management has not been an issue.
In a giant development in our industry, Adobe is introducing downloadable content with the new Adobe Media Player. Set for launch next month, the new platform will allow users to download Flash files to the desktop.
Will this new devlopment best Apple and iTunes? Not sure about that, particulary as downloadable Flash videos will only work on the computer and not on the iPod.
But, surely rights management will be critical in getting premium content creators to use the Adobe Media Player. Today, the company is expected to announce a major initiative.
Other companies have DRM products for Flash, but this is the first time Adobe has unveiled its own solution.
To get the download on the new Adobe rights management system, I spoke with Laurel Reitman at Adobe in San Francisco earlier this month.
__Adobe Flash on Phones Started in Japan Five Years Ago: It's All About Rich APP's and Cool U.I.'s
There's been quite a lot of buzz over the last day over the licensing of Adobe's Flash Lite 3 to competitor Microsoft for use in mobile handsets running the new Silverlight multimedia platform.
While the Adobe software enables viewing of Flash video players on phones, the immediate value of Flash Lite to Silverlight is its rich application environment for games and customized user interfaces. This rich, interactive environment is the promise of the new Microsoft platform.
To explore what the Adobe platform brings to the mobile world and how it has grown, I interviewed Brian Frank, a member of the Adobe mobile team in San Francisco earlier this month.
Brian explains how Flash became ubiquitous on mobile phones in Japan starting five years ago, far before there was any online video on phones.
