Yet these are based on rumors of unfavorable financial performance of one of the leading manufacturers of smartphones based WebOS. It is difficult to say whether Lenovo intends to seriously address the promotion Platform WebOS. But we know that the Chinese computer giant has long cherished "smartphones" ambitions. Therefore, industry experts are inclined to believe that Lenovo just wants to use the experience and market share of Palm, to increase its presence in the smartphone market.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created the most accurate clock in the world: they are based on an innovative method for quantum spectroscopy atom of aluminum-27. The technology allows to capture the transitions between the levels of the quantum state of an atom with a frequency 8,6-18, that is, those hours do not exceed the per-second error for at least 3.7 billion years. They are more than two times more accurate than the previous version of the most accurate clock, designed by the same group of scientists and a half years ago. The new record has an error of less than the standard second, that is, in a sense, these hours rather than time itself. One second standard SI equals 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation of an atom of cesium-137. With the advent of the new hours can be adjusted and this, and other fundamental constants. The study has a particular practical value. For example, global positioning system, the more accurate the clock on the satellite GPS, t...
