3D Chips - Skyscraper(3M & IBM’s initiative…)

In the world where technology is growing at rapid pace and beyond our imagination it’s really tough to stay calm if our work is delayed, even by a second. Every now and then we get to hear the word “COMPACT” for our personal computers. Some one reduces the size of the chips or some one replaces the Hard Disk with Flash drives. Solely for the reason of staying ahead of the competition and giving something new and innovative to it’s people. Realized that the time is very near when we have reached a point of approaching the physical limits of these processes.

But then this happened:

3M & IBM, the Tech Giants have came up with a unique Glue that allow them to stack chips up to 100 semiconductor layers. Now that’s koool. But what’s Superkoool, is that

“This Glue will not only stack these chips electronically, but also dissolve the heat generated during operation”

"Today's chips, including those containing 3D transistors, are in fact 2D chips that are still very flat structures," explained Bernie Meyerson, a vice president of IBM Research, during the press conference. "Our scientists are aiming to develop materials that will allow us to package tremendous amounts of computing power into a new form factor – a silicon skyscraper. We believe we can advance the state-of-art in packaging, and create a new class of semiconductors that offer more speed and capabilities while they keep power usage low – key requirements for many manufacturers, especially for makers of tablets and smart phones."

  

Mr. Timothy Prickett Morgan of Theregister.co.uk has explained the concept really well:

“The idea is to take components that are often separate on a system – processors, main memory, networking and other peripherals – and etch them all onto chips and then stack them up in a 3D array, rather than solder them onto a motherboard and wire them together with metal stripes in a 2D array. By going 3D, the wires between components can not only be shortened - cutting the time those components need to exchange signals and potentially requiring less energy to send a signal.”

Unique Idea From Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales

Read full...
"The idea and initiative of thinking for so many volunteers is so koool...
Don't forget to visit the link provided below"


I'm a volunteer.

I don't get paid a cent for my work at Wikipedia, and neither do our thousands of other volunteer authors and editors. When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but I decided to do something different.

Where your donation goes

• Technology: Servers, bandwidth, maintenance, development. Wikipedia is the #5 website in the world, and it runs on a fraction of what other top websites spend
• People: The other top 10 websites have thousands of employees. We have fewer than 100, making your donation a great investment in a highly-efficient not-for-profit organization

Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. It is a unique human project, the first of its kind in history. It is a humanitarian project to bring a free encyclopedia to every single person on the planet.

Every single person.

If all of Wikipedia's 400 million users would donate $5 each, we would have 100 times the amount of money we need. We're a small organization, and I've worked hard over the years to keep us lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.

To do this without resorting to advertising, we need you. It is you who keep this dream alive. It is you who have created Wikipedia. It is you who believe that a place of calm reflection and learning is worth having.

This year, please consider making a donation of $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can to protect and sustain Wikipedia.

Thanks,

Jimmy Wales

Wikipedia Founder

Apple’s iCup(Imagine)

iCup as the name suggests, a special cup to be featured in Apple’s elite list of products.

The uniqueness in iCup is that we can cool or warm or heat any drink inside the cup. All we need to do is simply connect the iCup with your notebook. Don’t have notebook, well no problem. iCup can be connected to any device that has USB connectivity support.

So it doesn’t matter where you roam around either to park, library or offices you get the mobility and an opportunity to work uninterruptedly.

Some good Features of iCup:

ü  Heatproof body that we can touch and hold while being connected to notebook

ü  A Heat filter

ü  Durable base

ü  A Heat coil

ü  Compatible with any platform: can keep it on desktop, tables, besides laptop etc

ü  Gravity based storage methods

ü  Aluminum casing

ü  Wireless access with tip and sip interface

ü  Mobility

Check the Apple’s logo on the iCup. It has three different colors blue, orange and pink. It’s actually a heat indicator that shows us the inner temperature of the iCup. So Blue stands for cool, Orange for warm and Pink for hot. Now that’s koool!!!

Apart from these features it also has a displaceable handle that can easily fit to any small area and its changeable upper portion allows us easy washing.

Waiting for STELLA(Constellation Camera)

STELLA designed by: Seung-Kwon Kim, Seung-Ju Kim & Zhong-fa Lie

Constellations can be defined as “a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern in the sky”.  Its tough to capture constellations through regular phone/cameras. Even if we are able to capture them, its tough to create a WOW effect that STELLA can do. Well, don’t believe me check these images and I bet you will say WOW!!!

Its very well written in the image “Our kids should be grown with dreaming as much as they can. Dreams and inspirations are sometimes conceived by gazing at the stars but at this rate, our children and the future generation cannot enjoy this privilege anymore”

I agree!!!

 So, using STELLA we can easily save the images of those constellations we say right now in the sky

Once, done with capturing those constellation images, we can use STELLA’S projector function and project it on bedroom ceiling or roofs or walls. Now that’s koool. So on a starry night you capture the mesmerizing skies, switch-off the lights and then project it to your bedroom ceiling to create a WOW effect!!!
