EnerJ: A software solution to reduce CPU load by 90%

aaaaaEnerJ a project of University of Washington aims to bring down the CPU loads, temperature and power consumption by 90%. And rather than a physical cooling solution, they aim to do this by an open-source software which will manage how calculations are done on CPU. aaaaaThis software breaks all the instructions to CPU into two parts: one that require high precision calculations and other which is not so crucial. And separate voltage levels are maintained to reduce the power used by less crucial instructions. This allows them to do a power saving of around 50% right now. But EnerJ team hopes to increase this by 90% after optimization. This solution will be released as open source code for the world later this summer. aaaaa[via Gizmag]...

Syria Shuts Down Internet Service To Contain Revolt

Someday the full story of the Internet's role in the Arab Spring uprisings will be known. For the moment, the most visible part of that story is that Syria has shut down the Internet in its country. As protests continue to escalate against the regime of President Bashar Assad, the Internet has been the means by which information has been received from, and delivered to, the outside world. But now, according to the Internet monitoring firm Renesys, about two-thirds of all Syrian networks became "unreachable" from the Internet early Friday morning. 'A Tipping Point' Renesys said 40 of 59 networks were withdrawn from...

UN report: Internet access is a basic human right

By Nidhi SubbaramanAccess to the Internet, especially during times of political unrest, is a basic human right, says a report released by the United Nations today.a"Facilitating access to the Internet for all individuals, with as little restriction to online content as possible, should be a priority for all States," says the report, published on May 16 by Frank La Rue, a "special rapporteur" for the UN's Human Rights Council.a"... The unique features of the Internet, which allow individuals to spread information instantly, to organize themselves, and to inform the world about situations of injustice and inequality, have also created fear among Governments and the powerful," La Rue said in a press release.aThe report urges states to avoid or amend any laws that...

Google can now guess when you want images

GoogleaBy Rosa GolijanUp until recently, searching for pictures on Google meant that you had to actually maneuver your mouse over to a little "images" button either before entering a query or after seeing a few thumbnails on the results page. Well, no more of that! Google can now just guess when you want images.aGoogle made some small tweaks to the Google Image search results in order to make our lives easier:a Analysing your search query for “high image intent”, [Google] will now know when you’re searching for images and display a larger grid of images in the results without you having to head into the Image Search section.a Additionally, taking inspiration from last year’s revamp of Google Image Search, the row of image results at the top of many results pages will now...

Schmidt: Microsoft is not innovative enough

aaaaaMicrosoft have been continually criticized for its stagnant drive towards innovative products, and joining the list today is former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. aaaaaAt the D9 conference, Schdmidt snubbed Microsoft by excluding it from the ‘gang of four’ high tech companies that were moving towards innovation and growing exponentially as a result. These companies include Amazon, Apple, Facebook and of course, Google. aaaaa“Microsoft is not driving the consumer revolution in the mind of the consumers,” Schmidt said. “They’ve done a very good job of getting [customers] locked in on the corporate side.” aaaaa“Typically, tech companies eventually become boring and middle aged,” he added, nothing that Microsoft’s legacy products, such as Windows, Office, and Xbox,...

Microsoft to acquire Nokia’s phone business for $19billion

aaaaaThere are endless possibilities if this goes through. BGR reports that according to industry insider Eldar Murtazin, Microsoft has struck a deal to purchase Nokia’s mobile phone business for $19 billion. The iOS and Android devices have hard struck Nokia’s business, and Microsoft’s Windows Phone is far from success. Nokia confirmed in February that it would adopt the Windows platform for its smartphones in the very near future. This decision stands true to the vision of former Nokia CEO Pekka Kallasvuo, which believed the company to transcend to a software and services company, much like IBM. Both companies have reached a deal to collaborate on the creation of new smartphones, which will roll out sometime next year. The deal is etched to close...

WHO Report on Carcinogens Adds To Cell-Phone Worries

The World Health Organization's declaration that cell phones are among a group of possible carcinogens has added new fuel to growing worries about the dangers of electromagnetic devices increasingly glued to the sides of our heads. The United Nations agency cited 31 scientists from 14 countries. The report contains no new research showing that heavy exposure to mobile phones' microwave-like radiation can eventually cause brain tumors, but cited studies that merit caution. Proof of a link to cancer has been elusive, since many doctors agree that long-term study is necessary and mobile phones have only been widely available...

AMD Unveils Windows-Powered HD Tablet Platform

Advanced Micro Devices unveiled a new semiconductor platform for Windows-based tablets Wednesday. Like its larger rival Intel, which announced its own Windows tablet platform Tuesday, AMD is pinning its hopes on Microsoft being able to make a comeback on the operating-system side of the tablet space currently dominated by Apple's iOS platform for the iPad , iPhone and iPod touch. Though Windows-based tablets were unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show last January, those first-generation products were unable to gain market traction.
