Written by admin on February 16, 2008 under News, Technology | 1 comment

It is almost eight years now that the technology has enabled to create specific “Wi-Fi Hot Spots” and their popularity is growing exponentially. Companies are making new strategies to monetize the concept in more creative ways.
A new phase of “Free-Zone” is all set to launch and this will replace the existing $20 a month rental model with a completely “rent for Free” model. Companies would soon be offering “Wi-Fi” services for no cost and it is expected that such approach will motivate customers for buying goods and services.
Companies like “Starbucks” have now decided to make a transition from its present “Wi-Fi for money” approach to the “Wi-Fi for free” and expects to lure its customers and other people to shell out more money on other goods as well.

Columbus has taken twenty-three years in the making. Columbus is a primary contribution of European Space Agency. The NASA scientists were at the elation while seeing their successful Atlantis lift off with Columbus space mission.
Cape Canaveral — shuttle Atlantis moved into its orbit with Europe’s gift to the international space station. Atlantis with its seven-man crew safely started from launch pad at 2:45 p.m. Rain and thunderstorms remained off though the sky was cloudy at launch time.
Columbus is designed with 23 feet long and 15 feet in diameter. It is a pressurized laboratory that can increase the space station’s research capability. The module weighs 22,700-pound; it was built in Italy and outfitted in Germany.

Written by admin on February 07, 2008 under News, Technology | 1 comment
For the first time, the Ericsson’s technology would be finding a place with a laptop this year. Ericsson has entered in to a partnership with the Lenovo in order to facilitate the laptop users with a ‘DSL-like experience’. Lenovo, the PC maker’s ‘ThinkPad Notebook’ computers will now have an embedded HSPA mobile broadband module enhancing the user applicability of the machine.
HSPA, the ‘High Speed Packet Access, is a typical ‘high-speed cellular technology ‘that is capable of enhancing the peak download rates up to 14 Mbps. With this technology, at the same time, the peak upload rates could also be enhanced up to 2 Mbps. In technology realm, it is also known as the ‘High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).
Looking to the increasing trends towards the uploading rate among the users, Ericsson went on to make a differentiation with the ‘HSDPA ‘and preferred this as HSPA only. The reason behind this shift, the company says, it was necessary as the “uplink is becoming just as important as the downlink”. Now days, people are more inclined to upload loads of information from their own computers to various servers and this is approaching fast to reach up to an almost equal level with the downloading.

Web Trends
The latest web trends must be at the finger tips of the web developers. Otherwise how would they remain at par with other equally sharp minds which are vying for a share in the internet pie? The only way to be sure that their finger is on the right button, they have to rely on the available market statistics regarding the common browsers, their display resolutions and the most common operating systems which are in use the world over.
But before we jump into muddy cesspool of statistical data, here is a word of caution. It is said that lies are of three types: lies, white lies and statistics! I am in no way insinuating that statisticians are liars. What they provide in the form of tables and charts of data collected from reasonably reliable sources are all true and factually correct. What is debatable is the interpretation of that data.
