Goggle is planning to introduce a new innovative storage service in near future. Many experts view this future as the “Virtual Hard Drive” from Google. An article recently published in the November 27 issue of the ‘Wall Street Journal’ explained various facts about strong probabilities of such an innovation by Google.
The ‘Wall Street Journal’ cited few people’s accounts who are closely related with this information, put forward a claim that Google is close to announce an innovative service that would help users store all their word-processing documents, digitized music, video clips, and photographs on servers.
This service will most probably facilitate users to shift their digital data on to the Google’s servers. This ‘Internet Cloud’ approach of Google will also provide a specifically dedicated ‘search tool box’ in order to facilitate users to reach at their own data. The facility will be extended from multiple computers and all handheld devices with a password. This will be a new approach as the user will be able to access its own data from anywhere. In fact it will break traditional set up that compelled user’s accessing through their machines only.

The critical shortage of interpreters has hindered efforts to “win the hearts and minds” of the Iraqi and Afghan people, defense experts say. This shortage in the required number of military interpreters in Iraq and Afghanistan has necessitated an invention of a new technology developed in Orlando. It is helping U.S. soldiers to counter insurgents and communicate with locals.
Vcom3D has developed a translation device that plugs into an iPod. , Officials acknowledge that the system is no substitute for human interpreters, however, it could work much better than any other translation gadget soldiers have used so far.
This device is a dubbed version of the “Vcommunicator,” the handheld, iPod-based device that is loaded with more Middle Eastern voice files. It has megabytes dedicated to mission programs like vehicle checkpoints, interrogations, patrols and raids.

Once again, military technology does it. What it was initially supposed to be was a way to protect soldiers from chemical attacks, and now ways have been found to apply it to our everyday lives. In this technologically advanced era, portable electronics that store our important data is being used at increasing rates in increasing amounts, and protecting these tools is becoming more important.
These small items proved difficult to protect before this technology came about as they had to remain small and the traditional bulky waterproofing methods was simply not viable. This new technology, known as ion-mask, creates a protective layer over virtually any material that is just nanometres thick and it works even with the intricate parts of the electronics that are the circuit boards and processors without causing any damage. This form of protection is achieved via the means of an ionised gas, or “plasma”.

The technical foundation of the internet was laid the foundation stone by Vint Cerf during the early 1970s. He has drawn the entire attention to one of the principal agencies building development with going across various difficult tasks.
After sowing seeds for streamline operations and giving off the international rebellion Cerf is getting down from the post, Chairman of the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers which is to take place this week.
He concluded by saying with his humorous attitude that “My sentence is up”. He has struggled a long way in building up the organization as it is today. He also thanked those who lend out a helping hand during the battles to come across with a stable and powerful organization.

Customer response to the Apple’s iPhone is so strong, there are a lot of predatory re-sellers taking advantage of the opportunity already. The company was quick to note this and they immediately imposed a ban on all purchases using cash. They are relying on using credit cards as a way to screen those who are looking out to re-sell the gadgets for a quick and nice profit. Hopefully it will stem the number of those who are preying on late buyers this coming holiday. The sales projections are seriously strong on this prospect that the company is estimating a major number of those who initially purchased the innovative gadget were actually intending to re-sell the products.
The company is trying to provide everyone an equal opportunity by limiting the amount of phone purchase for every person to about two only as compared to the previous limit of five units per person. The move might be too late though as there are about more than a million units already sold since its launch from June. Only time will tell how much has been accumulated by unscrupulous re-sellers.

The long time problem that the curators of the world famous “Last Supper” by Leonardo the Vinci faced might be probably reduced significantly thanks to modern technology. The curators noted that they can now significantly reduce the number of visitors to the internationally acclaimed work of art because of the high degree resolution digital form of the painting they have created. To be exact, the range of the pixels used was in the level of 16 billion as compared to the usual high grade 10 million pixel digital cameras. In simple layman’s terms, you can now view the image from any desktop connected to the internet to a degree that it looks like you were there a few inches away from the surface of the painting itself.
As an added convenience, experts can analyze further Leonardo’s work without having to worry about the dust and pollutant they might bring to the artwork’s surface if they are to study it for very long periods of time. Things like the traces of the drawing before the original image was put down can now be viewed like never before.

Microsoft has recently purchased 1.6 % stake in Facebook for $240 Million. A surprising fact here is that Facebook, about 3 ½ years old, doesn’t have annual revenues of even $200 Million.
This is believed to be Microsoft’s response to Google’s recent major acquisitions of YouTube and DoubleClick Inc. However, it turns out that the other side of the coin has a lot to do with Microsoft internet advertising plans. Also, this investment by Microsoft just goes to say that social networking – dating, friendship, photo sharing, etc. is valuable and is here to stay.
It’s amazing to note that Facebook, which started in a dorm room in Harvard University, has been valued at $15 Billion, thanks to Microsoft. One more important thing to note here is that Facebook is the second largest social networking website, after MySpace, which was acquired by News Corp. a couple of years ago, for $580 Million.
Microsoft is relying on Facebook’s reach and popularity, which it believes can help them sell more ads online, something Google is better than them at. In June 2007, online advertising revenues of Microsoft stood at $1.84 billion, an annual rise of 21 percent. During the same fiscal year, Google’s online advertising revenues rose to $13.3 Billion, a good 64 percent rise.
