Sharp,
the Japanese manufacturer known for TVs and displays, seems urgently
need an investment of money, and that would make the company appear to
be Qualcomm, who as such has decided to invest no less than $ 120 billion in Sharp.
This is not only to become the largest shareholder Qualcomm Sharp, but
actually save the company, who already mentioned that there is a chance
the possibility of breakage.
As reported by Reuters, Qualcomm now begin working with a subsidiary of
Sharp, Pixtronix, to develop a new generation of screens. Besides, both sides may also cooperate to develop new processors.
Qualcomm will give immediate relief to Sharp investing $ 60 million by
the end of the year, but has not yet decided when will the rest of the
money investment.
Things started to go wrong for Sharp few months ago, when sales in
China and Japan fell more than expected, but now thanks to this new
investment the company will not have to close, and also develop new
technologies and wide screens evidently processors reach the public, so
apparently Everybody.
Today everyone joins twittesfera and last celebrity who has joined has been several hours ago Pope Benedict XVI. Your account is @ Pontifex (Pontifex means pope in Latin).
As announced, the Pope sent his first tweet on 12 December, when
celebrated in many parts of the world the Virgin Guadalupe Day.

This is probably one of the best inventions of recent years.
Probably we all have happened that we can not find our keys when we get
out or we have lost something important that we urgently need.
According to my grandmother, you have to put a glass upside down so
that things appear, but I personally prefer to use a more modern method
and not so superstitious.
I'm talking about StickNFind. What is StickNFind? It is a round sticker whose size is a bit larger than a fingernail and can be detected via Bluetooth.
Simply place it in our keychain, necklace on our cat or any object not
want to lose sight, to track the sticker then just use a smartphone or a tablet that has Bluetooth.
The StickNFind has its own batteries that need to be changed once a year or so.
Since touch screens were introduced, won both friends and enemies. There are people who just do not like writing a text message, an email or the like using the touch screen of your smartphone . For these cases, we now have a solution: it has been developed a new type of touch screen that when touched feels like a real keyboard.
Kyocera is the company that created it. When we touch a button on notice that she feels like a keyboard key authentic. How is that possible? Because the display uses piezoelectricity
to create a small high speed vibration which will give us the feeling
that we actually touched something and not just the smartphone screen.
Do you think this type of technology is beneficial?
You may not like it much the appearance of those phones that have a built-in projector, but it's still great to have this feature available. For these cases there are alternatives like the Samsung EAD-R10, a fairly compact mini projector that fits in your pocket and you can carry anywhere.
The EAD-R10 is designed to be compatible with devices such as the
Galaxy line S2, the Note, the Galaxy Player and can even connect to our
PC. Thanks to him we can enjoy games, videos, photos and more in a larger size which offers the display of a smartphone and a nHD resolution.
The EAD-R10 Samsung measures 116 x 60.4 x 11.2 mm, making it slightly smaller than a S3, to give us an idea. It costs $ 221 dollars.

Scientists have developed a new type of light bulbs that are likely to be the replacement of existing fluorescent light bulbs that are used in homes and commercial spaces.
A team at Wake Forest University
said on Monday that have created a new type of bulb that is twice as
effective as modern and also has none of the negatives of these. These new bulbs are based on a technology
electroluminicente polymer that emits a soft white light, so that the
environment will not have to get the yellow glow of some fluorescent
bulbs (or if some blue LEDs).
To develop these new bulbs, the team had to resort to nanoengineering,
creating a model of three polymer layers are joined using a
nanomaterial. When the material is stimulated, creating a smooth shine and pleasant white light.
Is planned to go on sale next year.
We all know
that every time you get a new generation of processors it is more
powerful than the last, and in some cases also achieved an improvement
in terms of energy consumption of chips. For Intel Core processors, may consume less energy comes earlier than expected.
Intel plans to reduce its water consumption by modern Core processors, better known as Ivy Bridge, which some are used in most PCs and Macs on the market. While Intel planned to reduce energy consumption in the next generation, called Haswell, now it seems there was a change of plans.
All indications are that the new version of Ivy Bridge processors will also be more friendly devices laptops such as laptops and tablets, and mainly the latter.
The power to create tablets with Intel Core processors without
sacrificing portability or battery life leaves the door open for the
creation of a greater number of hybrid models, ie notebooks that can be
used as tablets.
