To prove that
life can exist even in the most inhospitable conditions, a group of
British researchers are ready to start making a hole depth of 3km on a glacier of Lake Ellsworth in Antarctica. If all goes as expected, will commence operations on the 12th of this month.
There are almost 3700 subglacial lakes in Antarctica and Lake Ellsworth is one of them. The main objective of this research is to find living organisms that carry millions of years under a thick layer of ice.
If this is successful, scientists could get more clues about the
evolution of life not only on Earth, but also on other planets.
Researchers will be the South Pole to the month of January, ie spend the holidays of the year away from their families.
Both the CES 2013 as the MWC 2013
will take place in the months of January and February, respectively, so
in those periods of the year we will surely see a lot of new
smartphones of all types and sizes, and insurance can also browse
supersmartphones those that we love them all.
One of the insurance companies that will present new Samsung devices, and one of the phones that could be made aware that time is one known as Samsung SCH-S960L. Obviously that's the model number, not the name by which we know him later.
This smartphone is an Android 4.1.2 with pretty decent specifications, as it has a CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.5GHz and its screen has a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels.
Considering that today's best smartphones use four cores, this small
surely fall in the category of mid-range phones, which is not bad.
Do you think the Samsung SCH-S960L will be a completely new device or perhaps a variant of an existing one?
The term "cheap" and quad-core smartphones are not two things that we see going hand in hand very often. Most mobile Android devices from Sony are using dual-core processors, while major competitors like Samsung and HTC launched quad core terminals earlier this year. The good news
is that by 2013, is likely to start making Sony mobile quad-core and
also that they be sold at prices below what the competition offers.
How is this possible? If we look at the current high-end phones, most of them have one thing in common: quad-core Snapdragon, Samsung or Nvidia. Sony's idea is to use less known chipmakers such as MediaTek, a company that usually produce processors for Chinese terminals.
It is believed that the specifications of the new smartphones from Sony
include MediaTek MT6589 processor 1.2GHz quad-core, GPU PowerVR SGX544
one, HD resolution screen and a 13 megapixel camera. Of course not all models are equal, there will be differences.
Will Sony succeed with these new phones?
ASUS is a name that everyone knows. At least not where it concentrates a major world markets tablets: U.S.
In that nation, and most of the rest of the globe, the best known manufacturer of tablets is obviously Apple , who since being released iPad ranks first in the charts. ASUS has proven to be a company that produces products quality, but is it enough to reach the apple?
Unfortunately not, at least not in the next year.
ASUS known to want to compete directly with Apple for first place is
something crazy, so we have decided that in 2013 will have to settle for
the silver medal, a task that will not be easy, as the company will
have tough competition from Samsung and Amazon, who are located in the second and third place respectively.
As the developer of the famous ASUS Nexus 7 no doubt that you have the capabilities and technology to succeed and get on the podium, but we must not forget that the competition will not crush without war before.
Do you think you achieved ASUS become a recognized brand in the market for tablets?
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.
The Vatican also announced that it will use the hashtag # askpontifex questions to make the Pope.
Many people have already started using the hashtag to ask questions
pranksters and most likely the December 12 draw lots of them.
The Catholic Church already has an official YouTube channel and Twitter seems to be the place to take your new cyber crusade.
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?
