Google Release New Stable Version Of Chrome 7

Google recently released a new stable version of its Chrome browser. Version 7.0.517.41 includes hundreds of bug fixes, an updated HTML5 parser, the File API, and directory upload via input tag, Google said. The release is available in the stable and beta channels now for windows, Mac and Linux. The main focus was the hundreds of bug fixes, Jeff Chang, a Google product manager, wrote in a blog post. "We've also included a few other things that may be for interest to developers, such as full AppleScript support on Mac OS X four UI automation and implementation of the HTML5 parsing algorithm, the File API, and directory upload", Chang wrote."Also, if you choose to block sites from setting any data in your browser's content settings for cookies, you can now use a new dialog for managing blocked cookies in bulk." Google also addressed possible autofill?autocomplete profile spamming and crashes that occurred on shutdown with Web Sockets, among other things. The update a part of Google's july pledge to publish an new stable version of Chrome about every six weeks - about twice as often as previous releases. Last month, Google released Chrome 6, which extended Chrome's JavaScript speed lead and pared down and already trim design.

Nokia Siemens Networks Works to Improve Device Battery Life

Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) says that it has successfully conducted the world's first call using a network technology known as "continuous packet connectivity" (CPC).

Once incorporated into an operator's HSPA+ network, it's claimed that CPC will enable 3G users to enjoy significantly longer device battery life.

According to NSN, CPC can mean up to 100 per cent longer battery life when devices are used for data applications, and up to 50 per cent during voice calls. During extended HSPA data sessions, there are typically long periods of idle time between transmissions of data packets, during which a device continues to use its battery. CPC uses the "discontinuous transmission and reception" method to shut down the device's transmitter and receiver during the idle phases to reduce power consumption. NSN adds that it has no effect on the actual data rates experienced by the end-user. HSPA+ is also known as Evolved HSPA and has been developed by the 3GPP standards group. It enhances basic HSPA technology and provides data rates up to 56Mbps on the downlink and 22Mbps on the uplink.

A Car With the Speed of 1000 mph will have Intel inside

The 1000 mph Bloodhound Super Sonic Car (SSC) will feature Intel atom processors as part of its engine control and display systems. The SSC is being developed to run at 1,050 mph and will attempt beat the land speed record in 2012. Intel says that "the processors, similar to those used in netbooks, haven been specifically designed for use in industrial and automotive applications and were chosen for their power saving and performance prowess".

Bloodhound Super Sonic Car (SSC)

Three atom processors will manage the calculation behind the car's propulsion system which features the largest hybrid rocket ever designed in Europe and a jet engine from a Typhoon fighter aircraft. Each atom chip will be checking the others calculation to guarantee there are no errors. Another processor will be used to relay this and other status information, stored on an internal SSD chip, back to the driver, on the cockpit displays.

Four other processors will be used as part of the controls systems that will enable driver wing commander Andy Green to keep the car on a smooth trajectory during its record breaking attempts. He will be using winglets on the car to control both lift and down force in real-time, and his inputs will be translated by the control systems so that they can adjust the stability accordingly. Intel adds that its Atom processor run at speeds of 1.6 GHz allowing for lightening fast response time during the mere seconds it will take for SSC to travel each measured miles that are part of it s land speed record attempt.

Ericsson paves the way to SMARTPHONES for all…

ST-Ericsson says that they developed a Linux- based platform which manufacturers could use to produce smartphones with a wholesale price of less than €100.

ST-Ericsson specializes in semiconductors and claims to have developed a highly-integrated and very power-efficient platform, which promises make smartphones affordable for the mass-market. Designed to run Linux-based operating systems such as Google's Android, the 'U6715' platform can support typical smartphones features such as navigation, web browsing, video streaming, email, Wi-Fi, a five megapixel camera, a touchscreen and more. It also includes a 4G HSPA modem capable of delivering downlink speeds of up to 7.2Mbps.

Equipped with a 1000mA battery, ST-Ericsson also claims that smartphones based on the platform can play music for up to 40 hours and provide a talk time of up to seven hours on a 3G network on a single battery charge, or even remain on standby for up to 25 days.

A million UK homes to get fiber broadband by 2014

In what's being described as the UK's largest ever fiber to the home initiative Fujitsu telecommunications Europe will connect up to one million properties to i3 groups Fibrecity Broadband network within the next four year.

In July, Fujitsu began rolling out the fiber optic network to 68000 homes in Dundee Scotland by 2012, every home and business across the city is expected to have access to broadband up to 1Gbps, the i3 group has pioneered the use of building low cost fiber optics infrastructures in existing ducts in the scwer networks to bring super fast connectivity to homes and business known as the FS system, its claimed that this and other innovative methods enable the i3 group to lay fiber optic cable quicker and more cost effectively than traditional civil works.

In May, Fibrecity holdings which is already enabling home in the southern coastal town of Bournemouth to benefit from super fast connectivity services, announced it also plans to develop networks in Derby, Halton, Nottingham, Plymouth and York. Further cities under consideration for networks include Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol and Ipswich.

World's Youngest Microsoft Certified System Engineer

While many kids of his age love watching cartoons or playing video games, nine-year old Marko Calasan likes to unwind with books on systems administration and systems engineering. Courting fame is nothing new to young 

Marko Calasan, who won recognition as Microsoft certified whiz kid at age 6 – when he was crowned as the world's youngest Microsoft certified systems administrator. In December 2009, at age nine, he became the youngest Microsoft certified systems engineer. Hailing from Skopje, in Macedonia, Marko already works for a non-profit organization as a systems administrator remotely marinating their office network. Popularly referred to as the 'Mozart of Computers' by the local press. Marko dreams of becoming a computer scientist. Born to IT professionals, Marko enjoys solving complex computer engineering problems and voicing his views in online forums for computer professionals during leisure hours.

Taxi's get you from A to B while you surf

Pioneering London taxi firm green tomato cars is offering Wi-Fi to passengers in its environmentally-friendly cabs. The company operates a taxi service using more than 100 Toyota's Prius cars which feature hybrid engineers that combine electric and petrol power.

Following a three-month trial, Green tomato will now install Wi-Fi in all of the cars using. The service will be offered free of charge allowing all passengers to connect to the internet using netbooks, laptops and handheld devices. Green Tomato co-founder, Tom Pakenham, says: "Many customers spend a considerable amount of time in taxis – it seems only sensible that we enable them to make the best possible use of this time."

The company says it is no stranger to using the internet to enhance its services. In September 2009, it became the first private hire taxi company to take bookings via Twitter.
