| Dunnigton 6 Core Chip Peta Flop Computing Capability | | 2008-08-18 18:07:04 | | The Dunnington 6 core microprocessors from Intel are the next in line to be released to the consumer market. Users of the Dunnington microprocessors will own a piece of Peta flop level computing technology. The Peta flop computing technology, a computer that calculates a thousand trillion flotation points per second, exists in Intel’s lab demo of a powerful peta flop computer that utilizes Dunnington microprocessors.Don't you think that it's only part of Intel's marketing strategy?It seems that from a marketing point of view, Intel is using its research & development arm to show consumers the full capability of its microprocessors. It is unlikely that an individual home user will be buying like 60 or more pieces of Dunnigton microprocessors to build a peta flop home computer. Nonetheless, the appeal of it exists, & people will go like “You know, I own a 6 core Intel microprocessor that has peta-flop computing potential!” One must admit that it is a very appealing prospect | | By: internet executive log | | |

| | Freedom of Computing While Walking | | 2008-05-14 06:42:19 | | Having a laptop means freedom of computing. Or is it really? You go out of the house & bring the laptop with you. You only power it up when you are comfortable sitting down in a coffee shop, office space, & etc. In other words, you have just made your desktop computer more mobile. It’s not true mobile computing. In my opinion, computing freedom means having a laptop strapped to your chest & being connected to the internet wherever you are; even while walking.

Industry sources point out that Microsoft conducting tests for technology which will enable Web hosting service providers to offer the Office suite via an emerging technology called application streaming. Such a development means that Microsoft, with the huge data centers, will also start to stream Office directly to its customers as well. Microsoft is already beta-testing a low-end Office bundle, code-named Albany, that it will offer on a subscription basis. Microsoft's cloud computing concept Live Mesh platform - is whereby all of our data and applications are stored on the internet as opposed to on the PC.

| | Unethical Employee & Script Kiddie in the Computing World | | 2008-03-04 05:30:55 | | Company’s especially large corporations should be on the alert for the unethical employee. The person is an employee that accesses their company’s network illegally for illicit reasons. It could be to gain top secret information to later sell it to the company’s competition or use some critical information to exert revenge on one’s previous employer in the future.A Script Kiddie is more often than not, a silly teenager who uses prewritten hacking & cracking programs to try to do harm on a computer or computer network. They probably want to do harm but because of their lack of technical skills, are a minor threat to computer security. Nonetheless, their actions can prove to be irritating & annoying hence probably deserving of some level of punishment from authorities. | | By: internet executive log | | |
| | Yahoo! Uses Distributed Computing to Speed up Search Index Processing | | 2008-02-26 04:18:56 | |
After wading through the official blogs http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000521.html
on this subject, which mainly deal with the fact it is the world's largest
Hadoop installations, I've got a few interesting facts from the SEO point of
view.
The Webmap (which is the database that feeds their algorithm)
now generates in a third less time
than it did before
It keeps track of roughly
1 trillion links
It uses 10,000 Linux cores (which doesn't mean 10,000 computers
or even 10,000 processors, as processors are multi-core, but I guess it
makes a nice round number)
So hopefully that's some information that
might actually be of use when talking to someone non-technical or if you have a
need to discuss it with a client.

| | Portable Computing Then and Now | | 2007-12-02 18:12:00 | | Released in April 1981 by the Osborne Computer Corporation, the Osborne 1 is considered to be the first true portable computer - it closes-up for protection, and has a carrying handle. It even has an optional battery pack, so it doesn't have to plugged into the 110VAC outlet for power.While quite revolutionary, the Osborne does have its limitations. For example, the screen is only 5" (diagonal) in size, and can't display more than 52 characters per line of text. To compensate, you can actually scroll the screen display back and forth with the cursor keys to show lines of text up to 128 characters wideThe two pockets beneath the floppy drives work great for floppy disk storage, although the Osborne modem also fits perfectly in the the left pocket and plugs into the front-mounted "modem" port.Osborne 1Introduced: April 1981Price: US $1,795Weight: 24.5 poundsCPU: Zilog Z80 @ 4.0 MHzRAM: 64K RAMDisplay: built-in 5" monitor53 X 24 textPorts: parallel / IEEE-488modem / serial portStorage: dual 5-1/4 inch, 91K drivesOS: CP/M Fast forward 25 years and , we ultra-portable VAIO UX Premium Micro PC.

| | 5 Considerations To Computing Your Car Insurance Premiums | | 2007-07-09 19:47:00 | | By Justin KohHave you ever wonder why car insurance costs vary from one car insurance company to the other? This is due to the different type of computation factors that car insurance companies use to derive the car insurance cost. Based on the answers that you replied to the car insurance company, they will add or discount the cost before arriving at a final price for your car insurance. Thus, it is important for you to shop around first before you commit yourself to a particular car insurance company as different companies take a different view of the various high risk factors. We will look at some of the factors that car insurance companies take into considerations.1. Having a clean driving record.Without a doubt, car insurance cost would increase if you have been convicted of a driving conviction. Thus, it pays to be a safe driver so that unnecessary costs won't be incurred.2.
