i remember reading about this too. it still needs those complex commands to function properly though. so the matrix scenario is still far away
still a wicked idea..i mean...its been around with nanotechnology....but this is somewhat on a larger scale...
this i find quite interesting and i wouldn't mind getting somthing like this: IRam Speeds Windows XP Start Up New add-in card uses DRAM-based storage to help systems boot up in just seconds. Sumner Lemon, IDG News Service Thursday, June 02, 2005 Taiwanese hardware maker Giga-byte Technology has stumbled upon a faster way to boot up PCs based on Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. Advertisement Giga-byte's IRam is a PC add-in card with four DDR DRAM (double data rate dynamic RAM memory) slots that's designed to be used as a PC drive. Because the IRam uses DRAM rather than a hard disk to store information, data can be retrieved from the drive up to 60 times faster than is possible with a hard drive, according to Giga-byte, which showed the board at the Computex exhibition in Taipei this week. The IRam was originally designed for video and editing applications where users require fast access to very large files, but the company soon realized that the IRam had other potential applications, says Tim Handley, a marketing account manager at the company. Quick Start For users who are tired of sitting around and waiting for their Windows-based PCs to boot up, they can install Windows on the IRam and use that as the drive to start the system more quickly, Handley says. When the card is used in this way, starting Windows XP is a matter of seconds, rather than a minute or more, he says. The IRam can also be used by gamers, who want to reduce the time required to access stored data, he says. The IRam holds up to 4GB of DRAM in four memory slots. The card fits into a standard PCI slot, which provides power, and it uses a SATA (Serial ATA) connection for data transfer. Unlike DRAM-based main memory, the IRam card doesn't lose data when the PC is switched off, says Thomas Chang, a product manager at Giga-byte. As long as the PC is plugged into a socket, a very small amount of current continues to run through some parts of the system, including the PCI slots. This provides enough power to make sure that no data is lost, he says. If the PC is unplugged, the IRam has an on-board battery for emergency power that can last up to 12 hours, he says. The IRam will be available in July and will be priced at around $60 without DRAM. Computex runs through Saturday. For more coverage of Asia's large

i thought the psp2 hack was cool...hey..i'm sure we can make our own ari con jackets..ahaa...n about that keyboard...i like it for the cool factor...but i don see it gettin big....
i actually see the keyboard getting very large. i would get one just so that i wouldnt have to carry about a full size keyboard. thumbpads dont to it for me
i'm still a bit iffy on it...i mean...obviously this thing won't be used out doors...n u'll need a very flat surface......it just doesn't have that portable effect for me..however....there is a bluetooth mini keyboard that folds up to the size of the pda itself....that i can see my self getting....although it is somewhat pricy...then there are the infrared keyboards.....
ok....so this is interesting news i think..seems as thought the future macs will now be using intel chips...i wonder how big this is..hmph.... also..came upon this nifty site...look through it..mite find sometin to keep u busy... http://www.hackaday.com/
Lets see what we have today: -New AIM cleint "triton" is out in beta for testing. AOL users i assume should be interested in this. I have personally never used AOL. -WinMobile 2005 is out. This is essentially the new OS for pocket pc. (actually it was out for like a month or two). brb....back -new standard:UMA-Unilicensed M obile Access: new hybrid wireless technology from Kineto Wireless Inc. to develop mobile phones that can pass a call from a cellular network to a Wi-Fi network without interrupting the connection... The new technology, known as UMA for Unlicensed Mobile Access, is designed to provide better call quality indoors, where cellular signals turn weak and short-range Wi-Fi signals go strong. Essentialy, go from cellular netwotk to wifi and vice versa without user noticing any difference. Think of the minutes we'll save with this! A cell with wifi, skype and a free access point n boom, VOIP!
Well then, it seems windows longhorn has been renamed to Windows Vista and a beta 1 promised to be out by august 3rd. However, this version is only for IT professionals. It seems that the public will be gettin version 2. Now, are we all going to upgrade? I don't think i will for a while as xp pro is serving me well for now.
Google going into the wifi business and possibly free wifi hotspots..hmph... Below, quoted form brightnad.com and engadget: "A magazine is speculating that Google is gearing up to offer free Wi-Fi service across the United States. Om Malik, in a recent article in Business 2.0, points out that Google is buying up unused fiber-optic cable all over the U.S. Of course, this bandwidth will be used to carry Web traffic to Google servers, but Malik points out that it could be used for other things, too. The thing that really makes Malik think that this company plans to offer nationwide Wi-Fi service is the fact that it's already offering such a service in San Fransisco, which could easily be a test run for a much larger program. The Google-sponsored hotspot is being managed by Feeva, and this company says it also intends to offer free Wi-Fi in other spots around the U.S. However, it won't say if Google will be involved in these. Google is also keeping mum about its plans for Wi-Fi. If this project does happen, it will most likely be advertiser supported. Feeva has software that is capable of pinpointing the position of each of its users, allowing location-specific advertising. So, for example, someone on a street corner surfing the Web on his handheld would get an advertisement for a restaurant right across the street. In his article, Malik also talks about other uses Google might have for its fiber-optic cable network, like searching video and audio files, as well as VOIP. "
Firefox Argh...as much as i love using it, i might be looking for another alternate browser. Man, i knew firefox was a resource hogger (mem usage, 47800k), but now its just starting to annoy me. I'm currently looking into other browsers: -opera (mark, how does this stack up with resources) -Avant -Maxthon -etc For those of you who use firefox, any thoughts on this?
