Additionally, Linux servers which most often run a platform of Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python have become very popular with web developers and in turn many businesses have websites and systems run on this software. In fact, IBM has chosen Linux to be the operating system on their Sequioa supercomputer due to be unveiled in 2011........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/3-2010/a-high-tech-handrest.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/3-2010/a-high-tech-handrest.html Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:42:00 GMT University of Utah engineers developed a computer-controlled, motorized hand and arm support that will let doctors, artists and others precisely control scalpels, brushes and tools over a wider area than otherwise possible, and with less fatigue.

Take for example the recent introduction of G4 Bluetooth by Cardo Systems. These little devices are basically designed for bikers so that they can converse with each other while riding on the same bike or on different bikes.

But sometimes, the more choices there are, the more confusing it is to actually choose the right provider. If you don’t want to spend much or to spend at all on a hosting provider, then you might be looking for something like a free hosting package. Although, there are a lot of web hosts who offer free hosting, not all of them are quite nice neither for your website nor worth your time. Some web hosts actually put annoying ads, even pop-ups on your site in exchange for the free service they provide. Your site may look very unprofessional and you’re not even going to get any share from it either. And others are just simply not capable enough of providing you a good and reliable hosting........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/stitching-together-lab-on-a-chip.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/2-2010/stitching-together-lab-on-a-chip.html Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:42:00 GMT Researchers in Australia are reporting the first use of ordinary cotton thread and sewing needles to literally stitch together a microfluidic analytical device microscopic technology that can transport fluids for medical tests and other purposes in a lab-on-a-chip. The chips shrink room-sized diagnostic testing equipment down to the size of a postage stamp, and promise revolutionary applications in medicine, environmental sensing, and other areas.

As such, as hard as it is top believe, one company believes there will be a market for those individuals who wish to make a grilled cheese sandwich on their way to work.

There are no laws on the books about driving and cooking sandwiches so why not? The Road Pro 12-Volt Sandwich Maker let"s anyone with a car become a quick-order chef.

A new Tel Aviv University tool could either confirm your suspicions or better yet, set your mind at rest. Prof. Eyal Ben-Dor and his Ph.D. student Dr. Sandra Chudnovsky, of TAU's Department of Geography have developed a sensor called "Dust Alert" - the first of its kind - to help families and authorities monitor the quality of the air they breathe. Like an ozone gas or carbon monoxide meter, it measures the concentration of small particles that may contaminate the air in your home. Scientific studies on "Dust Alert" appeared recently in the journal Science of the Total Environment, Urban Air Pollution: Problems, Control Technologies and Management Practices........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/leica-m9-digital-rangefinder-camera-introduced.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/leica-m9-digital-rangefinder-camera-introduced.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:17:14 GMT I recently said that some of the latest P&S digital cameras were mimicking the appearance of rangefinder film cameras of the ......... ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/dual-simulation-improves-crash-performance.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/9-2009/dual-simulation-improves-crash-performance.html Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:59:50 GMT Crash tests often produce startling results. A new simulation process which factors in deformation during production as well as preliminary damage can predict the results of a crash test more accurately than ever. There are components that save lives: if a car rolls over during an accident, the 'B-pillar' plays a key role. It forms one of the connections between the floor and roof of the vehicle and is designed to prevent the passenger cell from deforming too much. The materials from which the B-pillar is manufactured therefore need to meet very exacting requirements: to save fuel they need to be ultra-lightweight, yet at the same time need to be tremendously strong and must not break. Yet what does the optimum component actually look like? With the aid of countless experiments, simulations and crash tests, the auto industry has been getting nearer to answering this question. Now Fraunhofer scientists are providing further impetus to development........ ]]> http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/8-2009/rumors-of-a-bmw-electric-scooter.html http://www.blogspan.org/blogs/permalinks/8-2009/rumors-of-a-bmw-electric-scooter.html Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:59:50 GMT Unnamed sources at BMW report that a new electric scooter could debut at an upcoming motorcycle show sometime in late 2010 and put in production in 2011, according to Spain’s Solo Scooter website.

No more digging dead McNuggets out from under the spacebar, or wiping old rancid Mountain Dew stains from the numpad, just drop the whole dang thing into the sink and give it a good scrubbing. Lovely. It’s also dishwasher safe, and anti-bacterial, which puts it one step ahead of Windows Vista, eh? ......... ]]>
