Of the five antennas available, the three exterior we can see in pictures are responsible for transmitting a signal 5GHz, ensuring immediacy in communications. But that's not all, because TP-Link TD-W8980 also has four Ethernet output connections, tickets LAN / WAN and ADSL, two USB ports with multiple functions for installing storage services in the cloud or network printers.

Domain, Hosting and Server. What are they?

 

Sometimes we make a break in terms of gadgets and technologies and we directly especially a small, clear explanation of some of the concepts used in internet but not in everyday life.
Many of you probably will have made your first steps on the Internet and at least you will have your profile on social networks and your email account, right? But many people have taken the step to create a blog or website, which exposes daily concerns, information or whatever you feel like talking at that time.
 But how many of you have seen grow your project and have tried to take a step forward and turn your simple blog to Blogger or WordPress or other online platform of a more sophisticated with more options and upgrades and amenities for visitors?
But it turns out that not everything is so simple and you have been thinking about concepts we do not understand or do not know how to explain. Today I will clarify four concepts that will constantly appear when you begin your project.
These concepts are: Domain, Hosting and Server.
When we ask for domain: we know that is the name of our project extension, ie the mark with our website to be known. For example, Google.com, Wikipedia.com ....
Hosting: To give you an idea of what it means, hosting imagine a hotel where each room is saved in a web page, then to hire a hosting will give us a little space where we can create and manage our website. The advantage is that we should hostings manage the host, this ensures the company where service contracts. Instead the hotel can this gap and everything works perfectly, but instead if there are many rooms in use, the service will become worse and if we need our service works quickly maybe we go to another hotel or hire more stars Dedicated server.
Server: The servers, in Castilian servers, are at first glance, powerful computers dedicated to the customer and this ensures that all the system resources used one customer having 100% of the resources available for the use we want .
Course, hire a server has its drawbacks and the main one is that we have to devote to maintenance or hire some extra service to do it for us, in any case, more expensive to hire a hosting. We shall have the right system safe from hacker attacks (hackers), daily update in the system, backup and see that the system works 100%.
Well with these three concepts clear, I think I can decide what services you need for your project.

Aerogel graphene, the material world's lightest

The airgel, also called solid smoke and discovered in 1931, eventually became the world's lightest materials. Since air is composed by 96%, it is easy to see why it is extremely light.

Last year, the aerografito took first place thanks to its density of only 0.18 mg/cm3. It was very well received and acclaimed but his reign was short lived, as in these days, the graphene airgel became lighter material world.

A team of scientists from Zhejiang University has taken credit for the discovery of this substance, which is made ​​from coal "lyophilized" ie, freezing and drying. Graphene Aerogel is the name we have given to the new material, having a density of only 0.16 mg/cm3.

What most excites scientists not be the lighter material of history, but its spongy nature, allowing it to absorb about 900 times its own weight in oil and water.

Currently the research team is looking for new uses for the substance.

North Korean 3G service cuts

They say that good is short, and it seems to be true. North Korea is the country with more restrictions in the world. Even the Internet is saved. About a month ago, was released in North Korea a 3G network, and two days ago it was deactivated .

When the 3G connection was available, it appeared that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea finally begin to be more open and less strict. Even in the month of January began allowing visitors enter with mobile phones in the country, which was a novelty, and it is allowed even international calls. And in February, as we noted, was enabled Internet access via a 3G network Koryolink company.

The 3G network brand lasted a very short time. The service was cut without any explanation, since neither the North Korean government and the telecommunications company have made statements.

Tourists can still make international calls, but it is likely that this "service" will soon also be put offside.

What do you think of the actions of North Korea on issues relating to technology and communications?

No one is quite sure what it is that Facebook will announce on Thursday, but the chances are not great.

Do you think it will be a smartphone or perhaps a new application? Or maybe something else?Give us your opinion.

Rumors indicate that HTC is one of the first companies to show interest in a Windows tablet 7 inch, plus the device can make calls.

Did you know that most laser pointers are illegal?

Legend has it that there was a time when laser pointers were used mostly to mark blackboards and similar things. Today, pointers are used mainly to distract cats and other activities as point them to the cinema screen or annoy a goalkeeper during a football match. There are even some that can leave us blind in an instant and / or burn skin.

At least in the U.S., much of the laser pointers are illegal because it exceeded the power limits allowed. A study reveals that 90% of green laser pointers over the limit and 40% of the red pointers do too. Overall, only 25% of the pointers can be considered legal .

Why is so important the whole thing? Because these small devices can really leave us blind, not to mention the various legal matters that can be given as to target them to the aircraft, which was banned last year.

We must be careful when using one of these. Remember to use it only to guide a PowerPoint or similar tasks.

This optical fiber transfers data at nearly the speed of light

The optical fiber is very rapid, indeed, is faster than any other type of connection when data is transferred. At the University of Southampton , UK, has been created an optical fiber unusual. It is a hollow fiber having air inside and is capable of transferring data at nearly the speed of light . More precisely, fails to reach 99.7% of that speed.

To give us an idea, this transfer rate is about 10 terabytes per second. Exactly, 10TB / s, ie about 1000 times faster than the best optical fibers found in the market today.

You probably already have heard before about the hollow optical fiber cables. The idea has been around for a while but always detected data loss when wires must make a curve. People at the University of Southampton has managed to minimize the loss of data and has a transfer at lightning speeds.

We should not get excited yet. This connection will be available to us recently in several years.Initially is expected to be used in data centers and governmental and scientific supercomputers.
