The real age of the universe

The NASA Astromer recently has recalculated the age of the universe based on the finding of the quantum wall paper which they believe was the matter created at the near point to the big bang. Essentailly speaking, they would have found the edge of the universe- give or take a miilion years from the big bang ! it may be a tiny matter of the big bang itself but it is enough for the astronomer to established the age of our universe.

Our universe is about 13.7 billions years old.

Give yourself a second life!

Secondlife is an interesting place to be virtually! Secondlife is a cyberspace equivalent of real life living. It allows you to do almost anything virtually in your second life. You can buy a piece of land with real dollars and build your own estate, you can go shopping for items to add to your new home or if you so choose you could build your own furnitures or everything else and start selling and earn Linder dollars that you could used to buy things from the others population. SecondLife is free join so why not give it a try - click the links below to join.

Wii First Impressions - user account

I lined up bright and early on Sunday morning to get myself a Wii. A (very speedy) drive home later, and I was ripping through the Wii packaging to get it setup.

Tribute to James Kim

James Kim has found death on the a stranded road, full details

James Kim was the Tech TV gadget guy that I come to love, I watch his show regularly when we could receive the receptions. James and his co- host would show new gadget and answer question from the viewer live on TV. I always find his show interesting and funny - James you would be saddly miss.

Nintendo Wii Hardware Review

I just find great review on wii so check it out!!!

It’s easy to make fun of things because they’re different. When Nintendo released the DS, just like the jug-eared schoolboy who’s parents couldn’t afford trousers that fit, a lot of people stood laughing and pointing.
But Nintendo hasn’t been around all this time without managing to learn a few things in the process. With the courage of their convictions the DS has gone from strength to strength and in the process transformed from its original John Merrick design into the handsome, sleek showstopper of the DS Lite (which if you really need a comparison is someone like... oh I don’t know, let’s say Brad Pitt).

AJAX Web Tools, Releases Beta Version Of Photoshop CS3

Adobe Previews AJAX Web Tools, Releases Beta Version Of Photoshop CS3— Adobe Systems introduced a beta version of Adobe Photoshop CS3 software, the next release of the world standard in digital imaging. Also introduced is a beta release of Adobe Spry framework for AJAX, a designer-focused solution for adding the interactive power of Ajax when developing rich, dynamic web-sites.

An Introduction to AJAX and Taconite

An Introduction to AJAX and Taconite
— Taconite is a framework that simplifies the creation of AJAX-enabled Web applications. It's a very lightweight framework that automates the tedious tasks related to AJAX development, such as the creation and management of the XMLHttpRequest object and the creation of dynamic content. Taconite can be used with all modern Web browsers (Firefox, Safari, IE, Opera, and Konqueror, to name a few) and can be used with any server-side technology, including Java EE, .NET, PHP, ColdFusion or any language that lets you return XHTML.

Blind me - transistor clocking 845 gigahertz!!!

Wow, I can't imagine how fast would this equate to? Rendering at the blinding speed!!!!

Wow! wow! wow!

World's fastest transistor approaches goal of terahertz device!!!

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have again broken their own speed record for the world’s fastest transistor. With a frequency of 845 gigahertz, their latest device is approximately 300 gigahertz faster than transistors built by other research groups, and approaches the goal of a terahertz device.

Made from indium phosphide and indium gallium arsenide, “the new transistor utilizes a pseudomorphic grading of the base and collector regions,” said Milton Feng, the Holonyak Chair Professor of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Illinois. “The compositional grading of these components enhances the electron velocity, hence, reduces both current density and charging time.”

With their latest device, Feng and his research group have taken the transistor to a new range of high-speed operation, bringing the “Holy Grail” of a terahertz transistor finally within reach. Faster transistors translate into faster computers, more flexible and secure wireless communications systems, and more effective combat systems.

In addition to using pseudomorphic material construction, the researchers also refined their fabrication process to produce tinier transistor components. For example, the transistor’s base is only 12.5 nanometers thick (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter, or about 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair).“

By scaling the device vertically, we have reduced the distance electrons have to travel, resulting in an increase in transistor speed,” said graduate student William Snodgrass, who will describe the new device at the International Electronics Device Meeting in San Francisco, Dec. 11-13. “Because the size of the collector has also been reduced laterally, the transistor can charge and discharge faster.”
