Google Scribe
Every week google has discover something new about web applications to cover all the type of peoples. Now google labs offer the possibility to write up and choose best words to write in english stories and letters in english. This named as scribe. You can get this facility from the URL http://scribe.googlelabs.com. If you need this facility first you must visit the url. When you start typing a letter the suitable words are shown from the dropdown list, so that you can choose the appropriate word. Here you can type the sentence as usual in in wordpad, also if you got the word in dropdown list, you type the number which is given opposite to the word. The lot of time is saved through this also you can get to know the new words.
seaswarm robot to clean up oil spills
Using a cutting edge nanotechnology, researches at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a robotic prototype that could autonomously navigate the surface of oceans to collect surface oil and process it on site. The system called Seaswarm, is a fleet of vehicles that may make cleaning up future oil spills both less expensive and more efficient than current skimming methods.
The seaswarm robot uses a conveyor belt covered with a thin nanowire mesh to absorb oil. The fabric, developed by MIT’s visiting associate professor Francesco Stellacci, can absorb up to twenty times its own weight in oil while repelling water. By heating up the material, the oil can be removed and burnt locally and the nanofabric reused.
VoIP vs PSTN
When somebody refers to “traditional” telecom as against VoIP, he is likely to be referring to dear old PSTN! Our nation’s telephone network, and that of most others for that matter, works over what is known as the public switched telephone network or PSTN. Some also call it the plain-old telephone service (POTS)!
There is nothing so plain about it though. It is a worldwide network of telephone lines, fibre-optic cables, microwave transmission links, cellular networks, communications satellites and undersea telephone cables. This network is interconnected by switching centres that enable telephones across the world to connect each other using a uniform numbering system. The whole setup is based on circuit switched networking–that is, a circuit or channel is established between the various nodes and terminals before the users communicate, as if the nodes were physically connected with an electric circuit. The PSTN is a reasonably tech-savvy, digital system that include mobile as well as fixed telephones.
However, with the growing popularity of internet protocol(IP) based networks, especially the internet, varied methods, tools, protocols and standard have emerged to enable the transmission of voice and multimedia content over these networks. Essentially, voice over IP or VoIP is a bundle of technologies that enables IP based networks to be used as communication networks too. While PSTN is circuit-switched, VoIP is packet-switched. It sends voice or multimedia as data packers on an IP network.
VoIP got its big break in India
VoIP remains subject to several regulations by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). There was a time when it was seen as completely illegal, but now authorised service providers are allowed to provide VoIP services to the public. The legality of VoIP remains a big question in several countries because there is no regulatory framework, no uniformity in services and standards, and no way to clearly differentiate information services from telecommunications!
A few years ago, VoIP got its big break in India when the TRAI gave its approval for the logical partitioning of PSTN and closed user group (CUG) networks. Standards such as the session initiation protocol (SIP) also emerged to enable integration of legacy or hybrid systems with newer IP based ones. As a result, companies could merge their voice and data networks and reduce their investment therien.
TouchMagix sensor
TouchMagix hardware comprise of a high-end PC, a projector and its proprietary TouchMagix sensor. The sensor feeds signals to the PC software, which recognises human gestures/touch and generates an XML feed on loopback interface.
Touch magix is also available in two versions: MotionMagix and MagixTouch. MotionMagix is gesture sensing product that recognises free space movements, like the movement of a hand, and converts the hand location/movement into coordinates for the application to use and perform the action as per instructions. It has two sub-categories called MagixFloor and MagixWall.
MagixTouch, on the other hand, creates multi touch-interactive displays using optical touch technology.

HRP-4 "slim athlete"
Looking like a “slim athlete” the HRP-4 weights only 39kg (86 pounds) including battery. That’s about 4 kg less than HRP-4C, which made of its appearance last year at a bridal fashion show in Osaka, as well Fashion Week in Tokyo.
HRP-4 stands nearly 1.5 metres tall and has 34 moving joints, with seven in each arm, as well as fingers that can move precisely than earlier HRP models.
The robot has been developed by bridge builder Kawada Industries and National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology(AIST).
Panasonic DMC-GH2
A true hybrid, halfway between photography and video. While this was already the letter of his predecessor, strengthens the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 the same idea with a long list of new features. Armed with a new 16-megapixel Live MOS, a touch screen that boasts the fastest contrasting approach of the moment, even the AVCHD format advocate for sequences of 1920 x 1080 24p and 50i points provide by its flow 24 Mbit / write s data . Despite the increased resolution is a classic in the renewal of a model, Master of the Four Thirds System and Micro Four Thirds always be cautious in this respect. Therefore, the jump 12 to 16 megapixels with the newly announced Lumix Panasonic DMC-GH2 especially unique in this catalog.
With an intuitive touch control, the new DMC-GH2, the autofocus system lightspeed world’s fastest AF to take about 0.1 seconds to take snapshots at a very sharp focus. Key components, including engine have sensor and image processing for even better performance was improved by the camera at the time of capture stunning images in high resolution, with a beautiful gradation, and high sensitivity. A shot from the touch-control, which was very popular in the DMC-G2 for its ease of use is also present.
Panasonic DMC-GH2:
A special button on the top of the DMC-GH2 located allows the user to immediately start recording video during capture photos without making additional settings. The new Lumix can watch movies in high definition Full HD 1920 x 1080 with a surprising 50i, doubling the sensor output to 25p/24p 50p/60p. It also supports native 1080/24p mode at 24 Mbps, the highest in the AVCHD format.
New sorting function for Gmail
Google introduces a new sorting feature for its e-mail service to help users gain control over the flow of information.
The Gmail inbox is now offering a view that shows the most important news first.
An algorithm evaluates specific properties, such as whether a user is reading e-mails from a particular sender, and if they respond. The mail can also be assessed for an important new manual on the Plus / Minus “button.
“Says this is an adaptive function,” Google Stefan Keuchel.
That is, the “Priority” Inbox “will learn over time and fine-tuning themselves. Messages that are rated as less important not disappear, but simply return to normal in the Inbox. Users can also return to the Classic view at any time.
Google is advertising, improve the system as one that efficiency. A six-month internal testing showed that users need the 6 percent less time to process their e-mail messages, said Keuchel.
He also made assurances about the protection of privacy: information about the contacts is especially important to use Google exclusively for the new function.
