10-inch Acer Aspire One D150 – in Asia and the U.S.

Rumors about the new Acer Aspire One with 10-inch screen runs a long time ago. Now information about the new compact laptop from Acer is fully confirmed, and there are not only photos devaysa but specifications, pricing and date of sale – so that there is to say, the new Aspire One is already sold – a few days ago, the company officially announced the start of sales in Asia and USA!

10-inch Acer Aspire One D150 - in Asia and the US

For example, in Japan, Southeast Asia – and in winning political correctness – consumers will soon be available to model Acer Aspire One D150. The laptop is based on the 1.6-gigagertsevom Atom N270, but its cost of 350 dollars. Recall Other specifications desyatidyuymovogo Acer Aspire One: 1 GB of RAM, Integrated Graphics Intel GMA950, chipset 945GSE Express, module WiFi (802.11b / g), a universal card reader, webcam Acer Crystal Eye, built-in stereo speakers and 6-element battery. 10-inch LCD screen Aspire One D150 is a resolution of 1024 × 600 and a characteristic «glass» surface CrystalBrite.

When netbuk reach our country and how much will that cost – not yet entirely clear.

PCMOS-processors consume 30 times less power and are 7 times more efficient conventional CMOS

Scientists from the University of Raysovskogo (Rice University), Texas, at the International Conference on monolithic integrated circuits announced that within the walls of the university, the first test processor that works on the basis of the probabilistic approach.

PCMOS-processors consume 30 times less power and are 7 times more efficient conventional CMOS

Chip PCMOS (probability-based complementary metal-oxide semiconductor – complementarity of metal-oxide semiconductor-based probabilistic approach) is not on the basis of binary logic (and / or), as all current processors. Due to the fact that this processor is not necessary for accurate answers to their inquiries, the power consumption of 30 (!) Times smaller than that of conventional chip CMOS, and the rate of increase of about 7 times.

A particularly noticeable increase in productivity in those tasks which are allowed to prevent a large error. These tasks include, for example, image processing or data encryption.

According to researchers from the University of paradise, such processes can be successfully used in mobile devices.

Technology, work on which is also involved Nanyangsky Technological University (Nanyang Technological University), Singapore, is currently under construction.

As Professor Krishna Palem (Krishna Palem), the development will be commercially implemented in the next four years.

Toshiba this week will introduce a new chip memory FeRAM

Today, the Tokyo company Toshiba announced that it has created a new prototype of ferroelectric RAM.

Years of hard work led to another success: the prototype has a capacity of 128 Mbps (in 2006 this figure stood at only 64 Mbps) and speed of information transfer 1.6 GB / sec. According to the company, such chips significantly enhance the performance of computers near future.

New FeRAM chip will be presented at the International Conference on monolithic integrated circuits (ISSCC 2009) this week.

Google’s growing. Soon it will be to collect data on consumption of electricity in your home.

Knowing the particular predilection Google to search for alternative energy sources should not be surprised tomorrow release an online application PowerMeter, which will collect data on the use of your home appliances and provide tips for optimizing the regimes of their work.

Endeavor, certainly worthwhile: Few people will refuse the opportunity to save money on energy use. However, there are several different kinds of problems. First, it is notorious reluctance of many people to share personal information by anyone, much less with the giant company. But with this, the problems seem to be less likely, because for years the existence of millionyy Google users are accustomed to rely on the Internet giant to e-mail, schedule, search history and more.

Google's growing. Soon it will be to collect data on consumption of electricity in your home.

It is more difficult to be with the «iron». Hypothetical data on consumption devaysom energy needs as a transfer. Assume that the computer would not be special problems, but the appliances to the outside world is provided. In this situation Google much depends on whether the producers want to build on its technology related chips.

If all «srastetsya», and money for the introduction of «intelligent» Technology in the USA will be implemented correctly, soon the whole world are waiting for significant changes.
