An Interview Of The Inventor Of Cell Phones On C-SPAN
Many people have ditched their land-line phones for cell phones. Land-line phones have became unnecessary as people are on the go more. Also, some people want to save themselves some money by ditching their land-line phones and only using their cell phones as the main telecommunication devices. As cell phones have becoming the prefer telecommunication devices, we all need to know who is the inventor of the cell phones. His name is Martin Cooper. At 80 plus, Mr. Martin Cooper seems witty and well spoken and full of wisdom about the telecommunication industry as he demonstrates on C-SPAN. Check out the YouTube’s C-SPAN video where Mr. Martin Cooper is interviewing by the reporters on cell phones, telecommunication industry, and so forth.
Newspapers Fail To Engage Readers
Source suggests that newspapers do not engaged readers enough and in turns have allow readers go elsewhere. Blogs and other online publishing techniques have ways for readers to be engaged such as commenting system, and it shows that readers have came back often to the same articles to check on comments and replies.

Internet Addiction, South Korean Couple Raised Online Child Starved Real Life Child
Usually I would like to promote technology such as Internet, but here today I have to say that we humans do have to stay away from the Internet when matters in real life require our daily attentions. Why? Internet addiction is very much real. Just like anything else we humans could be addicted to as we humans have the potential to be very obsessive on certain things, and Internet is just not a certain thing since it’s quite addictive. Although you could argue only in a rare case like the South Korean couple who were so addicted to the Internet, played virtual online game to raise an online virtual child, and had their real child starved to death; in reality, anyone could be addicted to the Internet if one is not so careful and be considering about one’s moderation. Sometimes, it’s impossible to get off the Internet due to one’s job, but one needs to get off the Internet when the job is over to tend to real life matters. The South Korean couple is a perfect example of how we should not be so addicted to the Internet, or else our real life could be in jeopardy.
No, Not Yet, Long Live The Desktops
CrunchGear has a post on how desktops could be dead in three years, and the thought of seeing desktops fading away is scary. Why I think desktops would stay around for much much longer? Unless the laptops could do away with the overheated problem as well as the desktops could and could be as strong as the desktops, I have no reason to believe that the desktops could be a dying technology. You could make the argument that people nowadays spend more times on smart phones than on desktops, hooking up into the cloud computing networks as most smart phones do, and some smart phones carry the whistles and bells that could be found on the desktops, but in reality the same argument could be argue for the smart phones is not that different from the argument we could argue for the laptops. Laptops haven’t replaced the desktops for years, why the smart phones would be the desktops’ killers? I doubt so very much. Unless the smart phones could be as strong as the desktops and stronger than the laptops, I see there is no way that the smart phones could do away the desktops — as of now these hardware are not the same and not competing against one and another. When I say strong, it means I talk about the horsepower behind a machine, the capabilities a machine could provide.
When come to business, I couldn’t see how the desktops would be dead as many business applications had been working so well with the desktops that may stick around for a lot longer. IE6, are we talking about you? In addition, the cloud computing is not 100% stable and cost savings. You could take my word on the cost savings as a grain of salt, because the costs are not constant and could always change depend on the market’s demand and various factors that I don’t need to bother with in this article. Why? Cloud computing although is not a new technology, but recently many people and companies have implemented cloud computing through either private networks or public networks, but I had read some news that were mentioned about various hiccups that these recent cloud computing networks have experienced (security issues, etc…). Yes, cloud computing is just like any other computing, because it’s computing — which means it could go bad just like any other computing environment. Sure, you could argue that cloud computing is more stable since its network layout has a better network-redundancy, but I could only see that if only if you get the cloud computing right, then you could say cloud computing works, but we also have other known working technologies such as load balancing, clustering, and so on that have been around for years and have been known for working superbly; I could say cloud computing is just another competitive technology in which it’s competing against the others that I had mentioned. It’s just that the cloud computing is the thing that we all fixate on for now.
Why am I talking about cloud computing and related technologies although I’m trying to make the argument about “long live the desktops?” It is because some people tend to have the idea that everyone would be better off when one is hooking into a cloud computing network, do away one’s desktops to go for a thin-client type of desktops, but aren’t we all already hooking up to the Internet and yet our desktops still cheerfully existed? To me, the Internet is just another cloud computing environment but a much more encompassing one, and yet the Internet is a very dangerous place when it comes to security measures. There is a saying, and my way of wording the phrase could be off, but here it goes, unless you have buried your computer how many feet under the ground without any wireless activity and any Ethernet connection (Internet connection), then that is the only way you could be safe from the computer viruses, computer worms, and all other known dangerous security holes due to the vulnerabilities from software and operating systems.
To say more of the same… For cloud computing and smart phones, you could always be online; I doubt that anyone could argue that the cloud computing is going to be 100% secured, and 100% online is a dangerous thing. At least I know that when a desktop user intimately knows about the computer security, he or she could safeguard about his or her computing security matters better than cloud computing users such as smart phone users. It’s just because that you have more controlled over your desktops than you have over your smart phones since it’s you who’s calling the shots for what could be install on your desktops. It’s not so with the cloud computing. Cloud computing is an environment where one’s data be among many, and when a computer virus has gone wild, it could be that everyone who is hooking into the same cloud computing network could find their data expose to an unknown evil entity.
I could go on and say that maybe one day, cloud computing could solve all security problems and would be the safest computing environment among all, unfortunately it’s only a fantasy for now. In regard to computing security, I couldn’t see how desktops at least in security measures could be outdone by the thin-clients that are connected to the cloud computing networks. The argument about one only needs smart phone is ridiculous, because I still love how powerful a desktop could be, and I doubt that there is a smart phone in the current market could be as powerful as an average desktop. Plus, smart phones have small screen sizes that make the viewing of videos not nearly as pleasurable as how you would view a video on a regular monitor. Maybe when one day smart phones could just send the data over to any nearby HD monitor regardless of screen sizes, but until then I still prefer a desktop over a smart phone whenever I’m not on the go. I’m not straying off the main point at all when I talk about viewing videos on a smart phone and a desktop comparison, because we are talking about how desktops could be dead due to smart phones and other various technologies.
Even more… As of now, I doubt that the cloud computing networks could offer all the software that the various desktops have been carried, and until then I couldn’t see how the smart phones that are depending on the cloud computing networks could carry as many whistles and bells as the desktops. In conclusion, I have to say I doubt the desktops would be dead.
openSuse Faces Uncertain Future As Private Equity Firm Offers To Buy Novell
It’s unclear how profitable Novell as a tech company, but Novell is quite important to certain people who have interested in Linux (Operating Systems). openSuse is a Linux operating system that Novell has developed over the years and released for everyone to use for free of charge (open source). The future of openSuse is unclear as Yahoo has released a news article on a private equity firm known as Elliott Associates which has offered to buy up Novell; the change of the management party could lead to the changes of the objectives and goals of the company. An author here claims that Novell’s involvement with Linux has only brought in 20% revenue for the company, and the possibility for a major shakeup in Novell’s Linux department could be high. The author fears that Novell could very well end up just like many other business ventures that Elliott Associates had involved with. Elliott Associates in the pasts had acted similarly to vulture fund which breaks distressed company apart for sales to make greater profits.
Google Acquires Picnik
Although Picnik has been around since 2006, I have never heard of this online service until I heard about Google has acquired Picnik. So what’s Picnik? Picnik is an online service that allows you to edit photos in a web browser. Although I have never tried it out yet, but around 40 million people visit Picnik a month to edit photos. It shows that when a good online service exists, people flock to it in abundance. Picnik works nicely with online users who have accounts with Picasa, Flickrs, Facebook, Photobucket, Myspace, and others. Picnik has a blog post describes how exciting it’s for the Picnik’s crew to be acquired by Google. Also, the blog post suggests that Picnik’s service stays the same, but may be more capable than before as Google has fat wallet and vast expertises to invest and improve Picnik’s service. It’s unclear how much money Google has spent to acquire Picnik. It’s also unclear how Picnik would be a valuable asset for Google.
Newspapers Aren’t Dead, Just About To As Internet Overtakes Print In News Consumption
Even two years back when one looked at how the social media trend grew toward the clouds, one could pretty much got it right by predicting that the Internet could eventually replace many forms of traditional media. Today, I read a post on Arstechnica, and the post discusses that the Internet has overtook the newspaper industry in news readerships. The post also has some useful information for website owners who have news contents or similar contents. For an example, many Internet users who got their news from various news websites, but they also use interactive buttons such as <post to Facebook> to spread the news to other social friends. It seems such a method is quite useful for website owners to get new web visitors. Although those new web visitors might be one time visitors, but the minority of those people who may visit through the interactive buttons could be the additional long term web visitors.
Nonetheless, it seems I had stray off the main topic, and the main point of this post is that — duh, anyone could have guess that the people choose not to use newspaper and rather get online for news. If you ask why, there maybe more than one answer, but one could guess a very persuasive incentive for people to switch to online from newspapers is that it’s way more fun to browse online news than reading the newspapers. Especially, social network websites such as Facebook allow online news to spread like wildfire, and people who had never interested in reading news may hook onto the whole online news reading trend. Let not forget that online advertisements work and quite profitable for advertising providers. Internet would have not be the choice for people to flock to if it wasn’t profitable for everyone; Internet would have been a flu, and online news would have been a failed experiment, and the newspaper industry would not have been in the state that’s in now.
Open Source Promotes Piracy?
I don’t think I could write anything better than what already had written here and is available for you to chew on, and it’s all about the people/organization disguising themselves under the copyright law/intellectual property law (intangible assets) claim that open source promotes piracy. No matter how I look at this, it does sound very wrong to me. The first thought came up in my mind was that if I had came up with anything, it’s always my right and mine alone to allow my intangible assets such as software to be distribute however I wish. For an example, I could distribute my software under open source licenses, or I could charge a fee and slap on an IP license. It’s not right for one group to claim something that everyone does is wrong, and only that group is right. After all, no one group has the right to all intangible assets of all other groups. It’s not like open source has not made any sense, but open source is something that makes sense — even Microsoft has gave in to open source and contributes some of its resources to open source movement (although nothing major but still…).
Cisco Says Hello To 1Gbps Broadband To Not Let Google Be The Only Guy In Town
Not only Google wants a faster America when it comes to broadband, because Cisco does too. It seems as if Google is competing against AT&T, Verizon, and others when it announces that it is building 1Gbps broadband network for consumers, but in my opinion, Google wants to see a faster broadband standard in America. Why? Google is all about the Internet, and a faster Internet could help Google in the long run. Imagine Google could deliver more bandwidth intensive programs over its YouTube such as HD videos, other futuristic applications, and so on.
Cisco is a little different although it’s announcing that 1Gbps broadband network for consumers is also in the work. It seems Cisco wants to provide the 1Gbps broadband capability to its business customers such as AT&T, Verizon, and others. This makes Cisco not a competitor to the major Internet Service Providers, but as a friend. In Google case, it does make Google appears as a competitor to the Internet Service Providers.
Nonetheless, whatever the case, it’s about time that the American people get to experience a faster America in term of broadband. Although it’s not important as the health care topic which has caused ripples throughout America, broadband is still important since it’s powering businesses and homes and creativities and innovations. For your information, America is way behind in broadband speed when America is compared against Europe and Japan. Source.
