The impacts of Patent Dispute between Apple and Samsung!

Friends, if you are ardent followers of giant Apple and Samsung like me, you might be wondering about the firm shifting of orders for memory-chip initiated by Apple. Is it the impact of patent dispute that is reflecting into their mutual trade relation which has turned bitter?

If we are all sure of it, then of course, we can say it will escalate their rivalry into more intense. Earlier, Samsung enjoyed the providing of its services to Apple but mutual allegation to one another about the copyright that created a patent dispute has all of sudden caused bitter in their trade relation. Now the Newspapers headlines across the globe would be full of their competition for market place and patent dispute comprised of the copyrights violated by Korean company Samsung of copying the design and feels of iPhone and iPad tablet, the products of Apple. Making it more tit for tat, the Samsung Company put strong accusation saying Apple has illegally violated its telecommunications patents.

Now the interesting thing is to see who can dominate the Smartphone market globally, although the recent survey says Samsung has a slight edge over Apple. On that account perhaps, Apple is resorting to different marketing tactics and one of those under process can be considered the September-12 planning of discussing new products for which the company has dispatched invitation to the media. Amidst of the discussion it is also being buzzed Apple would launch new iPhone, a recent product.  

How long their locking of horns can go? What possible consequences would it provide in the markets all over the world? However, I do feel it would be interesting to watch them creating competitive devices that would be more cost effective and user’s friendlier in an attempt to overtake one another!

Soon You are going to find your Thought dictating the Computer!!

Schalk shows a demonstration on how a computer algorithm can track the volume of music a person is listening to from brain waves.

A new revolutionary development in the world of technology is about to transform your dream of running your computer with your thought process without commanding with your hands. As per the paper ‘Man-Computer Symbiosis, published by one of the computer genius called J.C.R. Licklider which had outlined his long dream of the possible invention of an interactive computing leading to the development of graphical user interface.

Last week in the conference of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Emerging Technology, another scientific genius gave his possible suggestion saying the time is not very far when people will be able to command computer and get it responded without touching a keyboard or a mouse or even speaking. He even further added as, "What I'm here to tell you is that this is not science fiction. This is an emerging reality,"

Schalk, the scientist, reasoned the slow interface as the root cause of the problem when it comes to human-computer interaction; as humans have to translate their thoughts into digital commands for making computer understand and functions as per direction or command.

In order to possibly bring it into reality the researchers who have been assigned the roles, are burning their midnight oil working with brain’s alpha waves comprising of neural oscillations with frequency around 8 to 12 Hz for rich syntactic representations creation which can be used for communicating with computers.

For convincing elaboration, Mr. Schalk had also displayed a video revealing the ways how with the use of attached electrodes to the human brain surface the computer games can be controlled by test subjects. In another demonstration it was shown how the patient shot monsters in the video game Doom using his thoughts. Using the joysticks for movement of the gun forth and back, the patient had used only his own thoughts that enabled gun shoot accurately. The genius scientist had also displayed how a computer could tell the distinctive difference of a person thinking of the sounds, "Ah" or "Ooh."

The third demonstration consisted of the detection of sound level of the music listened by a person that had been tracked moment by moment. "We're about that close." "To being able to play back the music just by listening to the brain," Schalk further added with much conviction.

See through the Walls with the New Technology!!

If you have a secret desire to see through the walls, what’s happening inside, you have pleasant news that your desire is no longer to be a distant dream any more. A huge advancement made once again by the scientists after investing their tireless efforts that have been fruitfully resulted in the form of a new technology which will help you see through the thick walls. The great landmark in the technology world have been created by the two innovative scientists, MIT’s Lincoln Lab researchers Gregory Charvat and John Peabody whose creativity can now enable you to look through the walls to the things or activities taking place on other side.

The device with an antenna comprising of an array arranged in two rows is consisting of eight elements at the top followed by thirteen elements for transmitting and certain computing equipment that entirely heaped into a movable cart. This advanced technology will be of highly friendly for many military operations if made available specifically "urban combat situations", says Charvat, project leader to a Lincoln Lab statement. 

This technology stood constant with the intended result after testing for several times through solid, eight-inch-thick concrete walls. Initially, the function of the radar remained as usual like any other and waves with certain frequency emitted by transmitters remained towards the target. It was found that every time the walls being hit by waves the concrete got blocked more than 99 percent got through; it looks some efforts are still to be invested signifying it as the half battle.

Getting the bounce by waves from any targets, they have to get through the wall in order to reach the receivers of the radar. The moment receivers of radar get hit, the signal becomes 0.0025 after reduction in certain quantity.

However, as per the Charvat the loss of signal from the wall is not at all the greater challenge.
"[Signal] amplifiers are cheap," he says. The main challenge lies in obtaining speed, resolution and range which are must to get it fully operational in real time. "If you're in a high-risk combat situation, you don't want one image every 20 minutes, and you don't want to have to stand right next to a potentially dangerous building," Charvat further adds.

In this 21^st century it will be a historical landmark if it becomes truly operational; its
beneficiaries must be the military communities as they will get this technology more helpful in fighting  battles. Gregory Charvat and John Peabody must be complimented for their great revolutionary invention.
 

Is it the Development of Technology that’s snatching the Jobs of People in USA?

The relationship between man and technology is getting sour in one of the richest countries in US. Gone are the days when people used to enjoy inventing new advanced technologies; today it turned into a great setback as the recession hit America is facing another challenge. Most of the people falling unemployed are cursing the advanced technologies which are allegedly taking away the major job opportunities of people. Earlier, more investment in technology was considered to open new opportunities as more man powers would be needed to run them but sadly, it looks derailed as the recent reports say technologies are the major factors of job crisis in USA.

In the last couple of years it has been found USA is struggling to control unemployment because of the widening gap of man and technologies. They totally mistook the improvement in technology sector would avail various jobs in the market but ironically it was not to be so. Most of the people have begun raising their eye-brows suspecting a change in the structure of labor market. In the past, there was no single evidence where the technology revolution had any negative impact over the balance of job markets.  

"Labor and capital are out of sync," said Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. "It seems be a growing and strengthening trend... (and) suggests there is this longer-term structural change."

The labor market in US indicates something wrong about the economic system of America which is all about displacement of jobs from the country rather than the disappearance. Everybody would arguably agree that the development of technologies led to the shift of various jobs relating to engineering to various developing countries where there is a plenty of low costing labor force than US. Therefore, the advancement in technology sector has brought a strong challenge before the country as the technology which reduces the work force because a simple machine can do the work done by ten people which had led to the ouster of labors having no role to play in the organization. However, in order to make a balance the economy must grow at tremendous pace to meet the challenge of bringing stability in the job market in US.

Has the Indian Institute of Technology lost its Charm?

With the global market trend fast becoming more like a playground where thousands of contestants participate in the competition making the market ambience full of competitive spirit, this competitiveness has resulted both the negative and positive impacts. The recent survey by experts says they have found a declining trend in the quality equipped by students of Indian institute of technology, a reputed Indian technology institution. Whatever the markets demand from the new entrants into the job market, these skills are not found in the students which means the quality of education in the IIT doesn’t stand with the reputations it has earned so far. The mismatch between the demand and supply in the information technology world that has been found is making ugly waves everywhere creating new queries and suspicions regarding the educational system provided in the country.

No matter how brilliant the students are with good academic records around but once they jump into the job markets it has been found their academic excellence works no better. It is a subject of great concern for all; otherwise soon we are going to see our reputed institution losing its earned worldly reputation and charm across the country.
The blame game has begun which is being thrown to various private coaching institutions which is said to have polluted the smooth running of the system by feeding so called “spoon feeding”.

The entrance into this highly reputed institution is so tough that most of the students work so hard that they lose out all their energies becoming mentally fatigue; even getting into it the work pressure or load given is so heavy that students remain fully dried or out of ideas that adds more pressure driving them slowly into mental depression which result the negative impact on their work ethics. The toughness of the entrance has really worked bad that the potential and creative students find themselves derailed and their potential and creativity get lost on the way.
The students themselves are to be blamed as per the teachers of the institution saying today’s students are more engulfed by laziness; do not work as much as they are required to do so which is against the institutional law that have been tightly following a particular study procedure thus ensuring fruitful outcome from the past. In addition to it, the lack of vision in students is believed to be also contributing to their declining quality acquisition. Majority of students after firm study for three or four years divert their minds in various fields like civil services or management looking the attractive packages and facilities is also a major factor.
If the authorities of the institution want to restore the old charms and maintain the same standard they have to urgently find out certain solutions before it gets too late.

Technology for a Good cause once Again

Once again people from around the world can witness what the technology can do when it is combined with a good cause. It is a pleasant surprise for all the technology lovers that amidst the darker side of technology use, we all can see it working for good cause for the entire human society. People from different corners of the world participating in the noble event on 24^th March called as ‘Race for the Cure Los Angeles County’ can take pride for their good cause with various self created shirts or purchased ones symbolizing their noble acts displaying their personal message to the people. People who are more socially active for good cause usually become more firm at his work if his or her noble work is recognized. Apparently, once again the best opportunity for all who want every bit of theirs contribute for good cause should immediately join the noble Race.

This is the race which will reflect a lot of personal touches as most of the people participating in the race have somewhere deep determination to fight against the father of all diseases called ‘Breast Cancer”.  The Good Threads based on Los Angeles is also responsibly trying to associate with this cause; it even launched the original technology specifically for it which will also come very handy to all the participants, leading to many Charity Organizations for raising donations, promulgating awareness and for entire proceedings of the events. This technology can also avail various merchandises to the participating people who can bring out their genuine personal stories and experiences indicating their root connection with the cause. For instance, Brandon Hance, the CEO and founder of Audiolife says "I was inspired to create GoodThreads when I saw my mom go through the hassle of creating her own shirt to honor my aunt Carol who passed away from breast cancer last year."  

Over the years the Los Angeles County has provided a lot of funds to various noble causing programs whose donation ranges today around $ 9 million and has created a new chapter in the book of Philanthropy.
