By Missy Ryan and Charles Abbott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A shaky economy and the Iraq war may dominate President George W. Bush's State of the Union address on Monday, but the lame-duck leader is also expected to mention farm legislation and pending trade deals that are bread-and-butter issues for America's farm economy. The State of the Union, which will be broadcast around the world, has in the past been a platform to send messages to foreign capitals on pressing issues like national security. The 40-plus-minute speech also gives the president a vehicle for speaking to a more local audience on issues that normally do not make the headlines, like agriculture. "That means taking credit for the recently enacted expansion of renewable energy, laying down a marker on expectation for farm policy, and pleading for action" on trade deals, said Gary Blumenthal, an analyst at World Perspectives. The speech comes as Bush and Congress square off over the farm bill, the $286 bil

A QUT medical physics researcher has devised a new non-invasive diagnostic technique that can help in quick and painless detection of surface cancers. The technology, developed by Jye Smith from QUT's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences, is currently employed by gyms to calculate body composition. Smith has developed this new diagnostic technique using bioimpedance spectroscopy to diagnose cervical and skin cancers. Bioimpedance measures the electrical characteristics of biological tissue and is used by gyms to calculate amounts of lean tissue, water and fat. "It has only recently been applied to biological tissue to determine healthy, cancerous or dead cells. It offers the possibility of a simple device that can be run over the surface of the skin or internal organ that can quickly, cheaply and accurately record changes in cellular structure that point to cancerous changes," said Smith. He also said that the bioimpedance technique tran

We have a problem of non-uniform surface finish values on the stem of engine valves after centerless grinding. The requirement is 1.8 Rz max but it varies from 1.8 to 2.4 Rz in the same valve at 4 places across the circumference. The grinding wheel used is A100.
I have just bumped into this technology of Microsoft and it really AMAZED me.Surface is a 30-inch touch sensitive table. I have watched several videos about this great product and it simply excites me. You can transfer files from your digital camera to your cellphone without plugging them to a computer. You can even buy stuff from the internet in a jiffy. This piece of equipment costs more or less $10k a unit.This is a video from PopularMechanics.comFor more information, please visit Microsoft Surface's website here
Wallstrip published a great newscast heralding, with some disbelief, that Microsoft's stocks had just reached a 5 year high. The video is worth the watch and I followed it up with my less than glowing opinion on the mega-corporation's current path.So according to stocks Microsoft is doing quite well and it is apparent that part of that success is a result of their high sales of Vista. Unfortunately for Microsoft, I can say with relative certainty that a significant percentage of Vista sales were forced upon new PC buyers and many would switch back to XP if they had a chance. In fact Dell even switched back to offering XP products after they received a myriad of complaints that Vista-only PCs were becoming the norm.Additionally, Computer World UK posted an interesting article that cited "most IT professionals are worried about Vista and that 44% have considered non-Windows operating systems, such as Linux and Macintosh, to avoid the Microsoft migration."In short, it seems that a conside
Luxology, the creators of modo 301, have licensed Pixar's Subdivision Surface Patents. "Luxology is a key provider of outstanding software for 3D content creation," said Rob Cook, Vice President of Advanced Technology at Pixar. "We are very pleased to have licensed these Pixar patents to Luxology for use in its products, and we look forward to seeing those enhanced products arrive in the marketplace." says the official press release. The terms of agreement haven't been disclosed to the public and when the technology will reach Luxology products is still unknown. You can read the full press release for all the details here.

Será isto o futuro? lol... Para aqueles que pensam que sou um anti-Microsoft, aqui fica um vídeo de um produto da Microsoft que futuramente poderá ser comercializado, que merece alguma atenção...P.S.: Eu não sou por ninguém...e não... não recebo comissões destes ou daqueles... Apenas prezo pelos bons produtos... Aqueles que me satisfazem e me dão mais garantias são, obviamente, aqueles que merecem mais elogios da minha parte... Por outro lado... aqueles que me dão dores de cabeça infindáveis merecem, por conseguinte, a minha crítica... hihihi...
Forget about the keyboard and mouse. The next generation computers will be hands-on. Microsoft, has presented via popularmechanics.com a top secret project, codenamed Milan. This technology is called “surface computing” and uses multi-touch technology to interact with the user, or users. The beauty of multi-touch technology is that, unlike traditional devices such as the cursor [...]

Il nuovo progetto di Microsoft è qualcosa di unico da ammirare... la prima volta che vedi Surface ti fa stropicciare gli occhi, ma non siamo in un sogno. Via il mouse, via la tastiera, tutto si fa con il tatto che rendono estremamente semplice l'interazione tra uomo e macchina.In sostanza sarebbe un tavolino completamente computerizzato costituito da uno schermo touch-screen. Lo schermo è di 30 pollici che opera con un'edizione speciale di Windows Vista, retroproiezione e sensori infrarossi. Inoltre dovrebbe riconoscere alcuni oggetti che vengono appoggiati su di esso.Lo stato del progetto è abbastanza avanzato e una prima versione uscirà entro la fine dell'anno, ma non sarà in commercio al pubblico prima del 2010 data dalla complessità e anche perchè il costo di questo oggetto si aggirerebbe sui 5.000-10.000 dollari.L'aspetto che sorprende di più è il fatto che, appoggiando ad esempio un cellulare, si potranno trasferi
Microsoft announced their new surface computer today (actually yesterday- it’s after midnight) at the D: All Things Digital conference in San Diego. Be interesting to see what sort of applications can be made to utilize this new technology.
In a press release issued by Microsoft Tuesday, the announcement of the first commercially available surface computer was made.Expected to be released late this year, Surface will first appear in places like Casinos and hotels.“With Surface, we are creating more intuitive ways for people to interact with technology,” Ballmer said. “We see this as a multibillion dollar category, and we envision a time when surface computing technologies will be pervasive, from tabletops and counters to the hallway mirror. Surface is the first step in realizing that vision.”Surface also has the ability to recognize physical objects equipped with id tags. Examples noted in the press release include usage in restaurants. When a patron sets his wine glass down on the table, Surface could automatically bring up information about the wine they have ordered and display photos of the vineyard from which it came. The retail industry could also see a practical application. When a product is placed on the
