Since U.S. laws make it difficult maintenance of a normal strip club with girls dancing on the table, the club owners begin to think about using modern technology. For example, the company Digital Illusions has opened the world's first strip club with extremely holographic women. Club Lolita's Cantina began work on July 22 in Las Vegas. Owners of clubs have already anticipate when the holographic technology can be translated as musicians, entertainers and other artists appearing on stage and demanding exorbitant fees. Nothing to be done, high technologies continue to raise the level of unemployment in developed countries - that's up to strippers have arrived.

Image via CrunchBase April 8 scientists and engineers from Hewlett-Packard have demonstrated their achievements in the development of a new type of non-volatile memory - so-called memristor. According to them, memristor-based devices may soon replace conventional flash memory. Their advantages are obvious: Memristors much simpler than common today semiconductor transistors. In addition, they are capable of storing information in the absence of electric current and, moreover, can be used both for processing and storage. This universality can seriously reduce the price of electronic components. The theoretical basis for the creation of the memristor was developed in 1971 by Professor Leon Chua, University of California. But it took 37 years before in 2008 in a California laboratory Hewlett-Packard created the first working example of the memristor. Develop it was a group of researchers led by Stan Williams. Report on the experiment was published in the journal Nature. In this paper, in p...

When building the data center (DPC) of the company these days is increasingly looking at this recently unimportant aspect, as the energy efficiency of computers working in it. And the news media published last week suggests that even large and apparently distressed companies are paying much attention to energy efficiency. In general, attention to energy conservation, of course, did not arise by itself. The fact that the cost of the equipment used for DPC was so high that the cost of energy consumed, in comparison with this, Merkle. Today, technology has become less expensive, in time as electricity, by contrast, shows a tendency to increase prices. So in the long run, profitable companies to overpay for a more energy-efficient equipment, as repeatedly overpay for increased consumption of electricity. Hewlett-Packard has decided to appear to be an example of the company, the most concerned about is efficiency and environmental friendliness of its technologies: a new data center, called ...

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...

Further financial crisis that shake the planet and, above all, the USA, yet not too seriously addressed the IT-industry. But, of course, its consequences have seriously reduce the pace of development and computer and telecommunications industry. For example, revenues fall manufacturers of thin clients - their main clients just been bankrupt financial giants. But there is another, very serious and not all measured, the consequences. At the place collapsed «elephants» IT-business will present «moski», that is, those who are the current giants of competitors, actually, and do not believe. However, this is the future of the case, even quite close. Google first and foremost Andy Rubin - creator of a mysterious OS Android and director of the mobile unit Google - said that the first smartphone based on Android is in the final stages of development and will soon be presented to the public. In addition, Rubin said that the income earned from the sale of applications for the platform Android, wi...

Studies at the university, many successful people remember as a solid five years doing nothing. At the same time, many of those who studied at the Institute of the fine, now, at best, go down to the former slacker and truant. This fact has long been known and is not paradoxical. But in a world of information technology today, several other realities ... In general, there is nothing illogical that the one who used to twist off and examinations, is more likely to unscrew and in life. For most technical specialties way zazubrivaniya anything that requires teachers to know - is, strangely enough, the path of least resistance. However, not for me to tell you about this - I think most of the readers of "Computer news" either already has a diploma of higher education or have a pleasure to stay in it. Now let us look towards the IT skills of Belarusian universities. People are learning a lot, and most of those who are learning, linking their future that is information technology. Thi...

Environment us nature, society, the universe - it is chaos or did something orderly? Can you describe or explain all the key number of formulas and algorithms? In fact, there is no necessary in qualitative assessment, which need to get rid of uncertainty. The very same uncertainty arises in the absence of the necessary number of data and relationships? If you are an experienced player in the chess situation on the board looks quite deterministic, that is predictable, because while he appreciates the many chess indicators, it all looks for Beginners uncertain. Even more, some of the indicators that you want to evaluate, and not even he suspects. But there is another side issue. For its turn to discuss literary classics, namely, the product of MA Bulgakov "Master and Margarita". The situation with Berlioz and Annushkoy, which shed oil. At the terminology AI in terms of higher forces both characters on the law can be regarded as agents who do not even know about the existence of...
