The Use of Nano Technology

Very cool stuff as we exploit this revolutionary technology.

WiMAX Bigger than Xohm

1. CES: WiMAX is bigger than Xohm

Although the main point of a panel discussion yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was to provide the audience with an update on Sprint Nextel's Xohm WiMAX network, the conversation quickly veered to the uncertainty of Sprint's commitment to Xohm. When asked about the departure of former CEO Gary Forsee and the uncertainty of new-CEO Dan Hesse's views on Sprint's Xohm network, Barry West, president of Sprint's Xohm Business Unit, would only say that Xohm is proceeding on schedule and that Sprint is currently in its budget process and will provide further guidance later in the quarter. However, West added that the WiMAX ecosystem has progressed to a point where it is now beyond Xohm, meaning that he doesn't believe the fate of WiMAX rests on Xohm's future.

That viewpoint was backed by other panelists including Motorola, which is a Xohm vendor partner. "We are out to globalize the technology. Xohm is important to help launch WiMAX but that's not where it ends," said Fred Wright, senior vice president, cellular networks & WiMAX at Motorola.

West did, however, hint at how Sprint is planning to charge consumers for access to the Xohm network. He said that the key is to treat the person as a customer, not the device. "We may charge you for multiple devices but not linear. We may reach a point where you have a certain number of devices and we won't charge you more. We will see service rates that are similar to what people are paying for Internet access now," West said. -Sue

P.S. In other Xohm news, ThinkEquity's Robert Ferguson believes that Sprint will renew its relationship with Clearwire during this quarter. Ferguson says that yesterday's announcement by Sprint of its relationships with Amdocs, SwapDrive and others reaffirms its commitment to Xohm. He believes that the advantages to the Clearwire deal are too great to pass up.

How To Watch Satellite & Cable TV On Your PC FREE - Tips

by: Tony Pescatore

Today you can get instant access to watching satellite TV on your PC but is it all as good as they say. These are how to watch satellite & cable TV on your PC FREE - Tips

NEGATIVES:

For some shows I watch such as my favourite live sport show you have to get it set up 10- 15 minutes beforehand otherwise you not going to get as good of a feed.

As this is not a paid TV cable or satellite service there is buffering involved which means you might have to wait under a minute or two before you can watch a particular program.

Depending on the speed of your computer, if it is a dial up I probably wouldn’t advise you to consider this.

POSITIVES:

Over 3000 STATIONS on your PC or Laptop for a one time low fee. That means you can stop paying for high-priced cable or satellite services! Watch LIVE Games (even the games that are not shown elsewhere) - With this software!

There are no subscriptions needed and no recurring charges and the picture is DVD quality.

The choices you get are sports such as ESPN, news, movies, music, weather, kids channels, educational, shopping, clips plus radio stations and much, much more. It works anywhere in the world with no need to buy extra hardware equipment or a PC TV card because the TV channels are streamed through your internet connection. You just need an Internet connection.

Watch TV in English, Spanish, German, Arabic, French, Italian, Russian, Dutch and more. You may also browse world TV by regions or by country name you do this by choosing a country and watch there TV programs from that country so many to choose from.

They will be adding many more quality stations in the near future such as ESPN 2, MTV USA, HBO, Playboy TV, Pay Per View, + many more.

There is a forum, which helps you out if you have any questions.

MY CONCLUSION: Satellite TV for your PC is solely I believe up to your computer if you have dial up I wouldn’t recommend it. Otherwise if you don’t mine waiting for the buffering to watch your program and also a one time low fee to watch satellite TV on your PC then its forever free instead of paying recurring charges to watch on your TV this is the way to go.

Create Your Own Digital Library

by: Jelaine Macaraeg

The moment you got your first digital camera, your view of the world has totally changed. You always seem to see something beautiful or artistic in your surroundings, worthy of being captured in pixels. You experiment quite a lot and keep on loading your pictures in your computer. Until one day, you thought of working on a project. You’re sure you have the kind of picture you need – you knew you have it somewhere in your hard disk… in one of those folders… You can’t run a search for it though because you pretty much use generic filenames like Flower1, Flower2, Flower 3 and so on. Uh-oh! Looks like it’s high time for you to organize your digital photos!

Microsoft has something that can help you do that. It’s called the Microsoft Digital Image Suite 9, which actually consists of two imaging applications – MS Digital Image Library 9, which serves as your database of digital images and MS Digital Image Pro 9, which is a photo manipulation program.

A lot of people may like it’s familiar Explorer-like interface – the left pane being the folder pane, while the right side of the window is the image browser, showing thumbnails of your images.

The good thing about Digital Image Library 9 is that you wouldn’t have to transfer your photos from their current location. Instead, it scans your hard disk and locates folders it considers photo folders, afterwhich you may deselect folders that are not appropriate. The images may then be sorted according to date or keywords. From here, you may double-click on a photo to bring it up in a full-screen view and use the basic controls for zoom, fit to screen, rotate and print. You may also select multiple photos for slideshow, the speed of which range from 1 second to 1 minute.

Oftentimes, pictures taken with a digital camera contains metadata. These are information about the photo, such as shutter speed and the date and time the photo was taken. Digital Image Library 9 allows you to add these metadata with captions and keywords to easily categorize and later on identify images. Another nifty feature of this application is that it even allows you to rate your photos! From the preview pane, simply click on how many stars, the highest being five, you wish to assign each photo.

If you wish to do some retouches on an image, simply click the edit button and Digital Image Pro 9 launches and opens the selected image. This application has a lot of quick-fix features such as the Red Eye tool and the Smart Erase, which caters to novice retouchers and home users who don’t want anything complicated.

Being the all-in-one application that it is, Microsoft Digital Image Suite 9 comes with tons of mats, frames and templates for creating professional photo projects such as scrapbooks, photo albums, calendars and postcards. You may also get Microsoft Photo Story, an add-on to the suite that lets you turn your photos into video. Simply choose which photos to include then add some narration if you have a microphone and add music and zooming effects.

About the author:I like to read anything that contains words in the old English form, though I can’t understand it. You know, the King James Version of the Bible with words like thou, thy, thine, wilst, etc. The words used are different. The construction of the sentence is different, too, which makes sentences sound artistic. I also like gothic metal, a music genre, because most of the lyrics contain such words. It is not only the words that fascinate me; it’s the hidden meaning it contains. It’s like an abstract painting; you don’t get the real picture until you see through it.

Internet TV Software

Lately I have been looking at some applications that would utilize wireless broadband service especially 4G category.


The application to mention here is Internet TV. These are basically applications that act as a guide to Internet broadcast from the various Television providers. The advantage with these are that you can find stations from all continents which is not likely with Cable TV.


The general search term I have seen for these are Satellite TV on PC or similar phrases.
You can find more information on these applications on my tv over internet blog.


Imagine having this capability on your Iphone device with WiMAX or LTE technology.
