London, Sept 27: Florian Seiche, HTC (High Tech Computers) chief, the designers of Google's G1 phone, has claimed that with its high-tech features, the new phone could make the personal computer obsolete.

Florian Seiche, whose company designed Google's answer to the iPhone, believes the personal computer will soon join the ‘dodo’.

Seiche insisted that the phone is set to transform the way we think about the internet, and could even kill off the PC.

Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin launched the G1 phone amid a frenzy of excitement in New York this week.

London, Sept. 27 : The personal details of 50,000 current and former RAF servicemen have been stolen from a military base.

It has been quite sometime, since two giants, Samsung and Armani have been working together to create unique gadgets. Earlier they worked together to create an LCD TV and a mobile phone. And recently, the two informed about their joint venture, under which they have created the M75500 mobile phone, also called the Night Effect. 

This handset holds a very slim candy bar like appearance and is engraved with Emporio Armani’s name with blue, red and green enlightening light to attract everybody’s attention at night. 

New Delhi, Sept 26 : Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) today celebrated its 66th Foundation Day with great enthusiasm.

Union Minister for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences Kapil Sibal gave away the CSIR Young Scientist Awards 2008 and the CSIR Technology Awards 2008 at a function organized in New Delhi today to mark the occasion.

In his address, the Minister called upon the scientific community to bring science out of laboratories in the form of solutions to the day-to-day problems of the people.

Washington, Sept 26 : Getting away with Wi-Fi "dead zones" in large wireless networks that cover whole neighborhoods or cities can take a toll on your pocket. But now, thanks to a new technology, the whole procedure can be cheap and easy – without any dead zones. 

Usually pre-deployment testing turns out to be so costly that majority of WiFi providers simply build their networks first and fill in the gaps later. 

However, it’s still not easy, because of the paucity of inexpensive techniques for mapping out precisely which areas lack coverage. 

Washington, September 26 : Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have opened the door for significant improvements in the fuel efficiency of cars and aeroplanes by solving a century old engineering problem regarding how fluids—such as gasses and liquids—move. 

The researchers say that their new mathematical and experimental work can help predict where the airflow around a vehicle cannot keep up and will detach from it, a phenomenon scientifically known as aerodynamic separation.

Fluid flows affect everything in our world, from blood flow to geophysical convection, and, thus, engineers constantly seek ways of controlling separation in such flows to reduce losses and increase efficiency.
