Apple TV Content Disappearing Issues Solved

Apple TV users may be relaxed as the engineers have solved the issue by which the movies and TV shows were disappearing from the Apple TV. Now such TV content disappearing issue was fixed by the installation of firmware 3.0.1 in their systems. Now, Apple has advised its users to get the firmware installed to see the re-synced content on the interface. Earlier, though the content wasn’t wiped out, yet it wasn’t visible on the interface. There had been large scale unhappiness among the users who had faced the similar problem on their Apple TVs. They had complained to the company about the abnormalities. They couldn’t re-sync their large volume of data stored in their TVs. To the users’ delight, the content disappearing issue was solved with the release of the new 3.0.1 update. The software update will help the users to sync and display a large amount of data without any problem.

How to protect Your Virtual Privacy - A Closer Look At Digital And Internet Security
All the details of your personal life, such as grocery purchases and pizza topping preferences, are collected every day -- online and by club and discount cards from the gym, department store and supermarket. Though this data seems innocent enough, when it's put together it can tell a whole lot about your health, finances and behavior. That information, a Tel Aviv University researcher reminds us, could eventually be used against you. Dr. Michael Birnhack of TAU's Faculty of Law and Prof. Niva Elkin-Koren from the University of Haifa recently completed a comprehensive study on information privacy laws in Israel and found compelling reasons for lawmakers everywhere to take notice. "Our research from Israel can serve as a case study of the shortcomings of a comprehensive data protection program," says Dr. Birnhack. "It's not just sites like Facebook and Twitter that should cause concern," he continues. "It's all the trivial things that are collected about us that we're not protected against." So take care.

Computer Memory: New Material Could Dramatically Boost Data Storage, Save Energy

North Carolina State University engineers have created a new material that would allow a fingernail-size computer chip to store the equivalent of 20 high-definition DVDs or 250 million pages of text, far exceeding the storage capacities of today's computer memory systems. Led by Dr. Jagdish "Jay" Narayan, John C.C. Fan Family Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and director of the National Science Foundation Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures at NC State, the engineers made their breakthrough using the process of selective doping, in which an impurity is added to a material that changes its properties. The process also shows promise for boosting vehicles' fuel economy and reducing heat produced by semiconductors, a potentially important development for more efficient energy production. Working at the nanometer level -- a pinhead has a diameter of 1 million nanometers -- the engineers added metal nickel to magnesium oxide, a ceramic. The resulting material contained clusters of nickel atoms no bigger than 10 square nanometers, a 90 percent size reduction compared to today's techniques and an advancement that could boost computer storage capacity. Information storage is not the only area where advances could be made. By introducing metallic properties into ceramics, Narayan says engineers could develop a new generation of ceramic engines able to withstand twice the temperatures of normal engines and achieve fuel economy of 80 miles per gallon. And since the thermal conductivity of the material would be improved, the technique could also have applications in harnessing alternative energy sources like solar energy. The engineers' discovery also advances knowledge in the emerging field of "spintronics," which is dedicated to harnessing energy produced by the spinning of electrons. Most energy used today is harnessed through the movement of current and is limited by the amount of heat that it produces, but the energy created by the spinning of electrons produces no heat. The NC State engineers were able to manipulate the nanomaterial so the electrons' spin within the material could be controlled, which could prove valuable to harnessing the electrons' energy. The finding could be important for engineers working to produce more efficient semiconductors. Working with Narayan on the study were Dr. Sudhakar Nori, a research associate at NC State, Shankar Ramachandran, a former NC State graduate student, and J.T. Prater, an adjunct professor of materials science and engineering. The research was sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Nanotechnology To Make Man Immortal

A futuristic scientist from America has predicted that man can become immortal within 20 years by means of nanotechnology and better understanding of the body mechanism. Ray Kurzweil, who is famous for his predictions which he had made on technologies about 10 years back, has written in The Sun ,"I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogramme our bodies' stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nano-technology will let us live forever." The 61-year-old, who has been praised by Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the smartest futurist on Earth said," We are living through the most exciting period of human history. Computer technology and our understanding of genes - our body's software programs - are accelerating at an incredible rate.” According to him, nanobots, which are blood cell-sized submarines, are being tested in animals. He said that these will soon be used for the destruction of tumours, for the unblocking clots as well as performing surgeries, without leaving any scars. Ultimately, nanobots will have the potential to replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively, he added. According to his theory called the 'Law of Accelerating Returns', mankind will experience a billion-fold increase in technological capability for the same cost in the next 25 years.

JournE Toshiba Touch Multimedia Tablet Unveiled

Toshiba announced its first touch-screen mobile device, JournE Touch, on Thursday, in an international consumer electronics trade fair. The device was launched at Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA), Berlin. The launch of Toshiba’s touch-screen came as a surprise, as people were expecting the company to announce its first Blu-ray disc player instead. The JournE Touch has a seven-inch screen, is half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound. It also has integrated Wi-Fi and Windows CE. Toshiba executive Marco Perino said that Touch can be used “when you want to access the Internet without booting your PC.” Perino also promoted Touch as a choice over smartphone, which he said “is not so practical because the keyboard is not the right size.” According to reports, JournE Touch is “purely for accessing the Internet or sharing content to other devices around the home.” Toshiba said that the new phone would be introduced in Europe by the end of 2009. It would be released in other regions in early 2010. It would cost 249 Euros, or roughly $360. At this price, Toshiba’s Touch would be cheaper than its competitor Apple’s device.

Google Translate Adds Nine New Languages

Google Translate service now includes nine new languages, was announced on Monday by the company. The nine new languages are Macedonian, Malay, Swahili, Welsh, Afrikaans, Belarusian, Icelandic, Irish and Yiddish. This takes the total number of languages in the translation service to 51. Like other Google Translate updates, these changes will also take place in other Google services where machine translation is used. It will include Google Friend Connect, Google Talk, Gmail, and most recently Google Docs. The changes have not yet been made in any of these services. Google had released the alpha version of Persian translating for the Iranian presidential elections in last June. The company has noticed that the Persian translations along with the new additions will not be as accurate as the most widely used languages. The Company feels that the new languages will take some time to come up to same level in terms of quality like the German, Spanish and French translations which were first to be introduced in the translation service.
