FCC: 100Mbps to 100 Million by 2020


While the United States is a pioneer in the development of the Internet and high-speed Internet service was, and the speed has not increased significantly in recent years, many, especially technology enthusiasts, and he hoped . Tuesday, FCC Chairman pointed out that the government and identify the scale throw problem.They the attempt being made to return "the goal of 100 megabits per second in a broad national level would see a much higher speed for the vast majority of the United States later later in 2020.

Broadband for all is not the only problem is that the FCC put its weight behind him. The President also highlighted the fact that almost 14 million households, almost exclusively in rural areas, without the possibility to register for access to broadband Internet. To examine how the spread of the Internet, the Center for the benefit of close to it is a glaring gap to close. One way the FCC wants to pay a high rate of transition through the implementation of the fund over 8 billion U.S. dollars for improvements to help generate,. It is still unknown, which may take the form of actual premiums claim.

The HP TouchSmart 600 is the premium version of the third generation of HP TouchSmart allow each and everyone in computers. From the material point of view, refines and improves its predecessor. There are many reactions of consumers went into designing this new model, some characteristics, such as video, which allows you to use the TouchSmart to 23 inches and the remote control to the game, a direct consequence of these observations. Of course, for greater clarity and a feeling remained the same as any other generation.

Lenovo Unveils New Multitouch LCD, Desktops


Lenovo has introduced three new products at CES capacitive cool two new all-in-one 24-inch multi-touch screen. Provides impressive low-end C310 IdeaCentre two fingers multitouch PineTrail nettops equipped than five hundred dollars. Verify our hands on video!
Chinese giant OEM really stepped up his game, especially with regard to the development of new products. They finally realized that it must be fixed, it seems fairly strict conservative position in the commercial area, at least here in America. It's like waking up Dell was a few years ago, before you concerningly downward trend in progress.
Additions of a new pattern is IdeaCentre A300, Lenovo (a little cheating) is thinner in every one in this industry because it does not depend on the real part of the desktop. However, he broke the pieces, with 1080p 21.5-inch LED display sitting on a lighted background, away from the depletion of the Center.

Laser Beam Computer Chips


Built by researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Intel is the engine of the first hybrid silicon laser using silicon electrical standard. This breakthrough addresses one of the major obstacles for the production of low-cost, high-speed silicon devices photons for use in computers and the surrounding areas in the future and data centers.The researchers were able to combine the properties of indium phosphide light with light - the properties of silicon chip in a hybrid. When voltage is applied, light generated in the indium phosphide in the silicon waveguide with a continuous laser beam that will be used, it can be of the optical drive other silicon devices. Based on silicon laser could lead to wider use of photonics in computers because the cost can be reduced by using techniques of high volume silicon manufacturing.
"This could bring low-cost, terabit-level optical data pipes" on computers in the future, and help to make possible a new era of high-performance computing applications, "said Mario Paniccia, director of the Photonics Technology Lab at Intel. While still far from being commercial product, we believe dozens, even hundreds of lasers can be integrated hybrid silicon-silicon optical components with the other on a single chip of silicon.
"Indicates a joint research program with Intel, such as universities, industry and work together to make the state of science and technological progress," said John Bowers, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. " By combining UCSB's expertise with Indium Phosphide and Intel's expertise in silicon photonics, we have a new structure of the laser method that is used to bond the chip, wafer or die micro-level and can be be a solution to a rule to display a large-scale optical integration platform of silicon. This is the beginning of a silicon chip optical high-integration, which can be produced in large quantities and at low prices. "Technical details
While normally used for mass production and affordable digital electronics today, can be used to detect, modulate and even amplify light, but do not generate effective in the light of the way silicon. In contrast, Indium Phosphide-based lasers are commonly used in telecommunications equipment and wireless. But the need to put together, individually and in point, he made them to remain expensive and in large quantities at low prices, and the computer industry.
For the hybrid silicon laser involves a new design recruitment indium phosphide-based material for light generation and amplification while using the silicon waveguide to contain and control the laser. The key to making this instrument is the use of low temperature, oxygen plasma - electrically charged atom of oxygen - to create a thin oxide layer (roughly 25 atoms thick) on the surfaces of materials.
When exposed to heat and pressure together, the oxide layer acts as a "glass-glue" merger of articles in two single chip. Devices when voltage is applied, light generated in the Indium Phosphide-based passes through the oxide "glass-glue" layer of the waveguide and the silicon chip, where it is contained and controlled, and the establishment of a hybrid silicon laser. Waveguide design is critical in determining the performance and specific wavelength of the hybrid silicon laser.
