Leading American IT-company decided to "chip in" to help the national economy - not without benefit to itself, of course. Total plans to collect about $ 3.5 billion, this money will be invested in the U.S. IT-developers, as well as an increase in the number of jobs in the IT-industry. The economic crisis has seriously undermined the U.S. position as a world technology leader, capable of creating innovative products and solutions. In 2009, Intel and Newsweek conducted a poll which showed: only a third of Americans believe in the fact that their nation will remain a technological leader in the race for the next 30 years. Realizing that the situation must somehow be corrected, the largest U.S. IT-companies, including Intel, Cisco, HP, Dell and others, have launched a joint initiative. It is the declared goal - help the U.S. economy. Assistance will be implemented in two ways - the largest producers are investing in local developers $ 3.5 billion, and in parallel - will incre...

Staff research division of IBM said that they were able to develop the last element of the set, which is required for the construction of fundamentally new - optical - computer chips. In such circuits signals between transistors and cores will be transmitted through the light pulses. So far, IBM is not specifically advertise the fact that a large group corporation engaged in applied scientists silicon photonics - the science that is examining ways to transfer data within computer systems using light pulses. But now the press office of IBM proudly told the world: scientists have created a corporation nanophotonic avalanche photo detector - a miniature device, capable of extremely high speeds to convert light pulses into a binary code. It is based on all the same semiconductors. Spillage on the photodetector of a light pulse, in his material released several carriers, which then release the other carriers - is cascading effect. As a result of the original signal is multiplied many ti...

The earthquake in Chile, a magnitude of 8.8 points the Earth's axis shifted by about 2.7 milliarksekundy, ie 8 cm and the length of Earth days decreased by 1.26 microseconds. These are the modeling results conducted by NASA experts. This is not so much when compared with the more powerful 2004 earthquake near Sumatra, a magnitude 9.1 points. Then night fell by 6.8 microseconds. With the help of instruments is practically impossible to fix these microscopic changes, but they can be a high degree of reliability model. In strong tectonic shifts change the distribution of mass in the volume of the globe, which affects the rotation of the planet. According to NASA, the displacement of the axis - is not the only consequence of the earthquake. For example, a small island of Santa Maria near the second largest Chilean city of Concepcion could easily rise to two meters above sea level. At least, as a result of past earthquakes, he was raised. Submit Footage Clips to Shutterstock and m...

As is known, in late February, the EU began antitrust investigation against Google, launched by small companies, close to Microsoft. It turns out that this is not an isolated case. The Wall Street Journal cites evidence of so-called "proxy wars", that is a global campaign, which was organized by Microsoft against Google smallest third of firms and, at first glance, unrelated to each other cases. Such "competition" of affairs is becoming more and more, they start in individual countries and towns of the United States, but, surprisingly, against Google, they serve the best-paid lawyers from law firms, and sometimes the "former" top lawyers Microsoft, is now supposedly Leading independent legal business. For example, a small business firm in Ohio against Google is famous Charles Ruhl (Charles "Rick" Rule), the former head of the Antimonopoly Committee of the Ministry of Justice. According to analysts, in the near future we can expect that many small...

Last week, Skype and Nokia solemnly announced a Skype for Symbian - free software application, which can now download and install any owner of the Nokia on S60 5 th edition. Thus, carriers are transformed into ordinary Internet service providers, and the super-profits on roaming will soon have to forget forever. It is known that release of the program took place on 15 February, but the last event is a landmark in the light of the confrontation with all Nokia mobile operators worldwide. Release any Skype software has the right, there can not do anything, but now running almost "criminal" in his trademark soft-store - such operators are unlikely to forgive the Finns.
