Western Digital Boosts Record Breaking Storage Medium
Posted by admin in Computer Hardware on March 28th, 2009
Good news to all enterprise users, Western Digital has announced their latest massive network storage device. Called the ShareSpace NAS, Western Digital came up with a device which has a gigantic storage capacity of 8 Terabyte (TB).
Not just is the storage space increased, Western Digital has also improved the transfer speed of data in this device. Traditional speed would take hours to transfer a 8 Tb worth of data into this device, this the engineers of Western Digital innovated a DLNA media streaming capability in this device that transfers data to and fro this device and any computers with a data transmission speed 30% higher than normal ones.
Western Digital claims that their latest ShareSpace NAs is not only a compelling for small business organizations, it can also serve as a digital media enthusiasts ultimate storage device who can have unlimited contents to store and share.
ShareSpace NAS is an astounding piece of gadget squeezing mammoth sized space in a relatively small portabella PVC casing. Western Digital made this possible by indulging four flexible bays which allows to slot in four of 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Green hard drives, thus making up a maximum of 8 TB storage capacities.
Just storage device, how is it unique?
To people very surprise, the ShareSpace NAS is not just a storage device; it is also tuned into numerous capabilities.
Western Digital has included a small footprint 4 bay storage system that takes up a little space providing plenty of data storage space. It is also built in with GigE connectivity which transfers data in the rate off o1 GB per second when used in any GigE network. The disks in the device come with data protection and high speed data execution with the RAID 0/1/5 capabilities fitted in it.
This amazing device also works remotely. It has a built in e-mailing system. The device has self monitoring function in itself that detects and manages the drives and the system health, if any fluctuation in the system gets out of control, it readily sends an email to its owners and inform about specific problems.
The device is also fitted with iTunes server for centralized sharing of music. Microsoft Active Directory is service support is also seen in the device. The device is compatible with any computers with a plug USB drive in the front mounted USB 2.0 port along with a push button o automatically transfer the data to and fro the device. These makes the device truly user friendly to use. The device also has automatic and continuous network data transfer backup system including a lenience to back up three computers running simultaneously. This device is also fitted with Western Digital’s unique MioNet remote Web access service that lets the user’s aces to other drives anywhere in the world.
As mentioned earlier, this is a device of Western Digital’s GreenPower technologies. The system in this device is equipped with a self cooling architecture and power saving mode and consumes at least 30% low power than any other conventional devices and stay reliably cool and quiet.
Compared to the explosion of technologies its buyers will get while fetching this product, the purchase price is relative microscopically small. It is more than a technology, it is dream device anyone would like in their homes.
HRP-4C fashion Model Robots Beats All Beauties
Gone are the days when people thought science and fusion were two different fields. With technology ever raising one foot upper each second, scientists came up with a new invention. Some humanoid female robots are created which looks exactly like a woman, and not just any woman but a woman anyone would die to go on a date with!
United States will be treated with these high passionate human fashion model robots within a few years that will be able to do any task human orders t to. However, these sorts of walking, talking and understanding humanoid fashion robots have already gained existence.
But the sad news is that these fashion model robots have showed some unexpected cat walks, which is definitely not called a modern fashion. Though these female robots comes with electrifying and heart crunching exotic faces, the catwalks they performed was a too clumsy for them to be acceptable by the fashion industry. Thus, their appearance is in standby at the moment until stuffs get fixed up again.
These Japanese fashion models are industrially called HRP-4C which are developed directly from the Japan National Instate of advanced Industrial Science and Technology. Each of these artificial beauties come fitted with 30 motors in their body which are 62 inched tall and weights amazingly only 95 lbs. These buy ties also comes with 8 motors in their face, which allows them to perform any orders off facial movements and expressions like anger, surprise or love.
Though these robot models are packed with enough technology that peoples have never thought of before, these technologies does not meet a fashion industries demands. These models are said to lack some liveliness for which they will be reconstructed to be a better one.
The world is just a few years behind getting these beautiful model robots running on full demand in the market. These robots will not be a useful tool in everyone’s house, but be one of those so beautiful ladies in the world that peoples will apparently forget about the next Miss Universe Contest ever after.
Fit the GreenBox in Your Car If You Are an Environmentalist
GreenBox is a technological breakthrough; it is an innovation that is of a value for both humanity and the environment. Reports amazingly confirms that three fisher buddies from the Wales as finally developed an equipments that is fitted underneath the car to replace the normal exhaust pipe with a new exhaust pipe that has a GreenBox embedded in it.
The GreenBox is made to be able to capture the carbon emissions from the car. This captured carbon is then sent for processing, in the GreenBox itself, to convert the gas into useful bio fuel using some genetically modified microorganism algae. This machine is name GreenBox because it is able to lock down all the culprits of the global warming such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and all thus poisonous gases stat are eliminated form the car exhaust pipes. For a car that fits this GreenBox has almost all of their carbon emission excluded (at least 95% of them) and leaves only pure water vapor to be emitted from the exhaust pipes.
The three fisher men from Wales mistakenly came across to make a new innovation while experimenting techniques with carbon dioxide which helps to boost the growth of fish farming. Over two years of researches and tests carried out in carbon dioxide for the microorganism growth, this fisherman’s finally came up with a positive result of and say that the global warming gas cabin dioxide increases the algae growth. In fact, they even found out that these algae which feeds on carbon dioxide engulf around 90% to 95% of the gas around them.
After the three has came up with such a great finding, they have opened a company called Maes Anturio Limited and have approached several local car agencies for support that includes the world class car makers Toyota Motor Corp. and general Motors Corp.
However, the car makers are still silent. It is because if the GreenBox is sponsored and materialized into the cars exhaust pipes, the owner of the GreenBox should replace and fill up their cars every day with the gas and empty it in a bioreactor. The bio reactor can then use the captured gas from the box to feed the algae, which will then be turned into fuel.
Nevertheless, researches are stile on its way on how to make the three fishermen’s great finding a successful one.
BMW Promising Serious Gadgetry In 2009
The 2009 BMW 7 series is ready equipped with some super scientific instruments that has the ability to spot you or your dog passing the rood, and to your very surprise, the instruments will spot you even before you get to see the car coming.
BMW is a German originated luxury car that is renounced globally for its break though and stand alone technologies for safety and to-the-edge artifacts features to reduce all the road fatalities and volatilities. The 2009 7 series BMW is a fifth generation automobile take swelled the FLIR ( Forward Looking Infrared) technology an inch higher with the world’s first Pedestrian Recognition System.
The vehicle is engineered with some second generation HUD hardwires that scans the roads up to 300 meters front and notifies the driver of any lively pedestrian on its way. The HUD system is programmed with certain algorithms which captures human body shapes like the body trunks, heads, arms and moving limbs and send alert signals to the driver that someone is on the road up front.
Nevertheless, the 7 series BMW HUD is also tuned with Night Vision technology in which it has a passive infrared scanner. The scanner recognizes body heat signals by humans and can spot pedestrians located in the dark at a distance.
The iDrive display console is placed centrally in the interior which not only gives the BMW an electrifying in modern interior, but it is placed in such a manner than the driver cane easily take a look at it without getting distracted while driving. This iDrive displays the road ahead along with the images produced by the Night Vision system which highlights the pediatricians shape or any other heat source present in the path of the vehicle. Reports tells that the Night Vision FLIR is tuned with such accuracy that it even detects temperature difference at 0.05 degrees, due t this the Night Vision software’s can translate the signals into many more color sand shades such that the driver can accurately figure out what is in its way.
The FLIR is also highly advanced with strong algorithmic codes such that it allows the Night Vision technology with mechanism where it can notice any abnormal movements with respect to the shape and heat of the object. The mechanism can also warn the driver in advance if it senses something is possibly coming near to the cars path.
With all these facilities, the engineers of BMW just can’t have enough. The FLIR is also furnished with a technology that senses any hard objects on the way that can possibly hit the car. If an object appears on the route of the car, the sensor predicts there are chances of collision and the HUD system highlights the object with shades of yellow triangle and alerts the driver that’s something is wrong in the way. The driver gets flashes of signals of those yellow triangles on the iDrive display console being still 300 meters away from that object.
The 2009 BMW 7 series sis too much equipped with safety tools for its drivers. However, its creators say that the second generation HUD Night Vision system was much more economical to manufacture than the first generation one, and thus they are proud to come with such a handy source of technology up front to the world.
Google Launches Operating System for Your Desktop
What is the breaking news in the computer world is that Google is coming up with its own operating system by this year’s end. Though Microsoft has always been in the rush delivering something the world has never seen or used before, Google is trying to set a new record having its own contender for desktop operating system called the ANDROID.
The Google operating system was first found to be as a Linux based mobile phone operating system, but the fact is now this operating system will be running on your desktops, perhaps. Founders of start-up Mobile-facts Matthäus Krzykowski and Daniel Hartmann discovered last year that Android has two product policies fitted in its code. The policies are the instructions in an operating system aimed for specific users. The Androids two instructions are phone and MIDs (mobile internet devices). The MIDs are nothing but the netbooks what we use now.
However, the light beings to darken sometimes when we talk about just because the program says it do the job does not actually mean it will exactly create a difference. For example we all know how well vista ran on Vista Capable PCs, but now we know what the disaster Vista is.
But Matthäus Krzykowski and Daniel Hartmann made it very sure before they set out Android in the market. They had it checked very well in netbooks to see how stuffs go on. Amazingly after four hours, they have finally compiled Android is an Asus Eee PC and then they reported that the net book was running good and was fully up. They say they have got all the necessary hardware’s running good like the graphics, sound and wireless card for internet. Android get the desktop running in full speed.
Does Android need an Android Powered PC? Eventually Yes.
An interview with the Chief of Asus Eee PC Samson Hu said that Asus has assigned its engineers to develop an Android Based PC by the year end. But the major drawback is that the Asus chief has not yet decided weather to ship such a product. In this current economy, it is very doubtful to expect any company to waste money in engineering projects without shipping the products. Most say Android makes sense for Asus, but Android just shows willingness to back a Linux maverick on Asus, that is not enough for the Asus chef to ship such a product globally.
As per applications, a wide array of open source software will be available, already that some of the Google products that include Chrome Web Browser and al the Goggles web based application are running on high demand. You can bet that these applications are going to work best in the Android operating system.
If Android hits the market, it would not be just Asus alone adopting it. Most say Android would be much cheaper and more profitable, thus it will be running successfully all over if it successfully meets peoples demands. The coming December will be a time world will be experiencing a difference. Not just Asus selling Android based netbooks, but at least a number of brands adopting Android. The business has to be smart and that Android needs to make smart moves to make a difference.
