Mimo sevens : Mini USB

Gossshhhhhh look at these cute Displays . These are rocking. Look at the variation in the technology for the past few years. These 7 inch usb monitors from Mimo look

There are two models, both with the same 800x480 pixel resolution -- the $200 740 which has a touchscreen, a webcam, a mic and audio in/out connections and the 710, cheaper at $130 but lacking all those extra features. Both can be used as portrait or lanscape mode

If you say why should we buy this , only thing i can say that is "its just an another cool gadget at my desk" They're also ideal for all the crufty little notification windows you have on your standard desktop.

Sony Security Searches for a Vein : ' Morfia '

We have seen high-fi Gadgets for authentication which were visualised in some hollywood movies like Mission Impossible and Minority report or Total Recall. In these movies we seen some gadget authenticating Eye-Retina or scanning whole body .

But now Sony is making it reality.

This is very advanced authentication system as far as my knowledge concerned. Now Sony has announced it has developed a compact, finger vein authentication technology that it says will be available in laptops and mobile phones later this year.

This authentication has an interesting name "Morfia" which is expected to have higher accuracy when compared to other authentication systems.

Sony's rival Hitachi has had its finger vein authentication products available since last year, while Fujitsu offers a palm scan technology for both computers and general building access systems. That said, most users are probably still entering passwords to unlock their computers, even if biometric scanners are available on their machines. Why?
It shows that the existing are still unreliable and not compact.
But Morfia from sony is fast in response and accurate too which can be mounted even into mobile devices. It uses the CMOS sensor that digitally captures scattered light inside the finger veins.

Sony claims false rejection rate for the technology is less than 0.1 percent and processing time for identification takes only about 0.015 seconds using a personal computer CPU and about 0.25 seconds using a mobile phone CPU.

Well we need to have a keen look at the future as these technology makers are bringing it to reality which were fictuos before 5 years or 10 years. Hope technology wont take over the Human Race as shown in the movies. Ha ha ha ........

Rs 500 laptop by Indian Government

Hello my dear gadget freeks of india. There is some hot news for you guys here. As of now you might have seen exceptional laptops with some awesome features and jazzy looks but even the price looks jazzy ha??????
Now in India, can any one guess it , you will be getting a laptop for just 500 bucks man this is cool but we need to wait n see what's all the features encorporated with that laptop.

According to my information, The Indian Government is all set to display the Rs 500 laptop on 3 February 2009 in Tirupati, at the launch of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology.
This was developed by students of Vellore Insiture of Technology,scientists at Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, IIT Madras and Semiconductor Complex, a public sector undertaking.

Well when you look at the memory it is lesser than a memory which is alloted with mobiles now, it is only 2GB and has wifi, fixed ehternet, expandable memory but to what extent they haven't mentioned. and The most interesting thing about this laptop is " consumes only 2 watts for power".

Way back in 2005 at the world summit on the Information Society held in Tunis, Massachussets Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Nicholas Negroponte, unveiled a $100 laptop computer but this was desinged for Students in the developing world. But india strikes back with the new laptop which can turn around the market of laptops.
Many companies were struggling to break the sub-$100 notebook but India is ready to showcase a notebook that costs only 10$. sounds good to us but threatening for the laptop makers like sony,dell etc.

Google: "This Site May Harm Your Computer "

Google shocked its users.There was a strange thing happened on internet on last Saturday. Our favorite search engine Google was shocking the world with a strange message. When ever you hit Google there was message thrown saying that

" This site may Harm your Computer. "

This last for an hour and disappeared after that. when inquired, Google said " this was clearly an error and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused for our users."


Actually Google uses this message for warning the users if the site is known to install malicious software in the background. They maintain list of such sites and pop up the message when needed.

"Google periodically update that list and released one such update to the site that morning. Unfortunately (and here's the human error), the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs. Fortunately, thier on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file. Since they push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. PST and 6:40 a.m. PST and began disappearing between 7:10 PST and 7:25 a.m. PST , so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes".
