Upcoming technology transformations of the next five years, according to IBM

ibm-logo-board-635.jpg
Technology stalwart IBM on Tuesday predicted classrooms getting to know students and doctors using DNA to customize care are among five big changes on the horizon.
IBM said that its annual forecast of five ways technology will change lives in the coming five years was "driven by a new era of cognitive systems where machines will learn, reason and engage with us in a more natural and personalized way."
And while software evolves to "think" in ways similar to the human brain, computing power and troves of data kept handy in the Internet "cloud" will enable machines to power innovations in classrooms, local shops, doctors' offices, city streets and elsewhere, according to the firm behind the Watson computer that triumphed on US television game show Jeopardy.
"Over time these computers will get smarter and more customized through interactions with data, devices and people, helping us take on what may have been seen as unsolvable problems by using all the information that surrounds us and bringing the right insight or suggestion to our fingertips right when it's most needed," IBM contended.
Predictions for the coming five years included "classrooms of the future" equipped with systems that

10 Upcoming Technology That May Change The World -3

9. Parallella

Parallella is going to change the way that computers are made, and Adapteva offers you chance to join in on this revolution. Simply put, it’s a supercomputer for everyone. Basically, an energy-efficient computer built for processing complex software simultaneously and effectively. Real-time object tracking, holographic heads-up display, speech recognition will become even stronger and smarter with Parallella.

The project has been successfully funded so far, with an estimated delivery date of February 2013. For a mini supercomputer, the price seems really promising since it’s magically $99! It’s not recommended for the non-programmer and non-Linux user, but the kit is loaded with development software to create your personal projects.
I never thought the future of computing could be kick-started with just $99, which is made possible using crowdfunding platforms.

10. Google Driverless Car

I could still remember the day I watch the iRobot as a teen, and being skeptical about my brother’s statement that one day, the driverless car will become reality. And it’s now a reality, made possible by… a search engine company, Google.
While the data source is still a secret recipe, the Google driverless car is powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras inside the car, a sensor on the vehicle’s top, and some radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car. Sounds like a lot of effort to mimic the human intelligence in a car, but so far the system has successfully driven 1609 kilometres without human commands!

“You can count on one hand the number of years it will take before ordinary people can experience this.” Google co-founder, Sergey Brin said. However, innovation is an achievement, consumerization is the headache, as Google currently face the challenge to forge the system into an affordable gem that every worker with an average salary could benefit from.

5. Eye Tribe

Eye tracking has been actively discussed by technology enthusiasts throughout these years, but it’s really challenging to implement. But Eye Tribe actually did this. They successfully created the technology to allow you to control your tablet, play flight simulator, and even slice fruits in Fruit Ninja only with your eye movements.

It’s basically taking the common eye-tracking technology and combining it with a front-facing camera plus some serious computer-vision algorithm, and voila, fruit slicing done with the eyes! A live demo was done in LeWeb this year and we may actually be able to see it in in action in mobile devices in 2013.
Currently the company is still seeking partnership to bring this sci-fi tech into the consumer market but you and I know that this product is simply too awesome to fail.

6. SmartThings

The current problem that most devices have is that they function as a standalone being, and it require effort for tech competitors to actually partner with each other and build products that can truly connect with each other. SmartThings is here to make your every device, digital or non-digital, connect together and benefit you.

With SmartThings you can get your smoke alarms, humidity, pressure and vibration sensors to detect changes in your house and alert you through your smartphone! Imagine the possibilities with this.
You could track who’s been inside your house, turn on the lights while you’re entering a room,

Google Multiple account login

Till now only single Google account login was possible at any time in a Browser.If you had set the “remember the password” option and are lazy like me to enter the password every time you want to check your mail,you might be using Firefox,Chrome,Safari,and IE for all your different GMail accounts.I always found it cumbersome to open my different GMail account on different Browsers and use one different browser for each of my GMail account .
Google has now enabled the option of signing in to multiple Google accounts simultaneously from the same browser.This option can be enabled by going to the Google accounts page and enabling the option : “multiple sign-in”. If you don’t see the option, it should be soon available.

Laptop Battery Tips

Optimizing laptop battery usage is very important to increase the battery life and performance.
Following are the Top tips to optimize the laptop battery :
  • Buy smart: Look for notebooks with low power consuming processors like the Intel’s “CULV” “Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage” processors or AMD processors with “cool & Quiet” feature.
  • Dim screen brightness: Choose an environment with adequate lighting—less brightness means you’ll drain less power from your battery.Use the Function key (Fn) available in most of the laptops to dim the brightness.
  • Run your applications wisely: To get the most from your laptop, even when multitasking on the go, run resource intensive applications just when actively using them. Then make sure to close the applications you aren’t using.Running Video on the laptop will consume the battery very fast.Avoid to run video almost all time.
  • Close unused applications: Programs will still use power while sitting idle.Also some unrequired background processes can  be closed using the task manager.Stop such processes from starting at

Now Download Gmail and Google Calendar Data to Your Local PC

Now a days emails contains some of our most critical/precious data along with the other non-critical but important messages . One email service that has become default email for most of the people is Google’s Gmail . It is free , it  is fast , it is more reliable , it’s user interface is clean , the ads are not cluttered , it has so many features/options , and it is connected to all other Google services . There are number of these features that people prefer to use GMail email service in comparison to Yahoo Mail or MS Outlook (the new online version) or any other company’s email service .
Gmail download
With so many people using it , Google till date had not provided any official option to download all the email data for backup or exporting to other email tools like Outlook desktop .  There are some 3rd party tools/apps available for this but they are not much reliable and are not so easy for a non-tech guy to use . But now Google has announced that you can download your GMail data and also the Google Calender data to your local computer in an archive file  (following other services data is already available for export/download : Google Contacts , Google Drive , Google Voice , Google Hangouts , Google Plus , Youtube , and Orkut)
This new feature to export Gmail and Calendar data is now available in Google’s Takeout service.
Having access to your data and being able to take it with you is important, especially if that data contains precious memories like old love letters, your first job offer, or that 100-message thread discussing the merits of various cat videos. Starting today we’re rolling out the ability to export a copy of your Gmail and

Backup , Backup , Backup – What/Where/How to Backup PC/Mobile Data

backup
What is backup?
  • With backup , we understand storage of that data which is useful for us and which is hard to get all over again. Data which is ,if lost , will leads to irreparable damage. For e.g. if document related to tax is lost or any business document or a paid program which can not be downloaded again etc., it will cause a damage which cannot be undone. So to avoid such situation, it is required that we have a backup of all important data.
  • In general rule of thumb (also called Platinum rule of backup) we must have three copies of important data, the original,a backup of original and a backup of backup. And these backup should be placed in different locations, basically one online and one in hard drive or laptop or external hard disk , so that it can be easily available whenever you need it.
  • First thing which we have to know what all we need to backup. Basically its our choice, if we want we can create backup of everything, but is it worth backing up everything? like things which we can get

New Google rules do not miss out!

Google keeps changing its rules to ensure it maintains dynamism and at the same time allows the newbie to have a crack at competition laying out a fair playing round for everyone once in a while.
New Google rules do not miss out!
Google has changed its ‘Terms of Service’ to permit it to plaster users' names, photos and lots of other personal information all over relevant advertisements that pop up on various websites.
The new rules are applicable only to those users who are over the age of 18. Google announced these changes to its Terms of Service and mentioned that it will take effect only after November 13, 2013.
What will this change do? Users' profile names and uploaded pictures will be served up together with content such as reviews and other information that they share online, advertisements, comments they post, or who and what they follow.
The content will be shared and visible only with and who the people are following or have befriended on various social networks and only their names and pictures is what they will have access to see.
A fuming John Simpson the privacy project director of Consumer Watchdog said, "Basically, both Google and Facebook want to turn their users into unpaid pitchmen for advertisers. At this point, we are assessing the situation."
Google is being a little cautious while doing this as it is giving users an option to opt out and is overlooking minors. While on the other hand, Facebook has a similar thing; have included 13-17 year olds as well.
It could be said that Google is being extremely sensitive to the privacy concerns of their users. After all, Google has most of the information out there and those companies it works by having "a worldwide license to use, host, amass, replicate, adjust, create derivative works, communicate, issue, publicly perform, publicly present and hand out such content."

Mitigating climate change? Guiding responsible research in geoengineering


Geoengineering, the use of human technologies to alter Earth's climate system – such as injecting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere to scatter incoming sunlight back to space – has emerged as a potentially promising way to mitigate the impacts of climate change. But such efforts could present unforeseen new risks. That inherent tension, argue two professors from UCLA and Harvard, has thwarted both scientific advances and the development of an international framework for regulating and guiding geoengineering research.

NASA rover finds conditions once suited for ancient life on Mars


Analysis of a rock sample collected by NASA's Curiosity rover has shown that ancient Mars could have supported living microbes.

Scientists identified sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon – some of the key chemical ingredients for life – in the powder Curiosity drilled out of a sedimentary rock near an ancient stream bed in Gale Crater last month.

"A fundamental question for this mission is whether Mars could have supported a habitable

New results indicate that particle discovered at CERN is Higgs boson


The ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have presented new results that further elucidate the particle discovered last year. Having analysed two and a half times more data than was available for the announcement last July, they confirm that the new particle is looking more and more like a Higgs boson, the particle linked to the mechanism that gives mass to elementary particles.

It remains an open question, however, whether this is the Higgs boson of the Standard Model of particle physics, or possibly the lightest of several bosons predicted in some theories that

World's largest radio telescope is operational after 30 years


After 30 years of planning and 10 years of construction, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) has become fully operational in northern Chile.
The $1.5bn project was inaugurated at an official ceremony attended by 500 people including the President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera. This event marked the completion of all major systems of the giant telescope and its formal transition from a construction site to a fully-fledged observatory. ALMA is a partnership between Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. It was originally conceived as three separate projects in Europe, the USA and Japan in the 1980s, but merged to one in the 1990s. Construction started in 2003.
"One of our many natural resources is Chile's spectacular night sky," said Piñera. "I believe that science has been a vital contributor to the development of Chile in recent years. I am very proud of our international collaborations in astronomy, of which ALMA is the latest, and

World's largest concentrated solar power plant opens in Abu Dhabi


After three years of construction, a major milestone has been achieved for renewable energy in the Middle East, with the opening of a 100 megawatt (MW) solar power plant.

concentrated solar power plant

The Shams solar power station is located near Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With 258,000 parabolic trough mirrors, covering 2.5 sq km (0.97 sq mi), it generates up to 100 megawatts (MW) of power, making it the largest station of its kind in the world. It will offset 175,000 tons of CO2 per year – the equivalent of planting 1.5 million trees or taking 15,000 cars off
