Intel and Yahoo are planning to make television more user friendly. Both have decided to add online capabilities into TV programs.Intel senior vice president Eric Kim said that they are working on "Widget Channel".
This channel will use computer programs for adding online features to television shows and advertising. Twitter, Toshiba, Samsung, eBay, CBS, Blockbuster, and Disney-ABC Television Group and some other companies are developing Widget for Yahoo and Intel.
Intel has developed “system on a chip” which will be used in electronic devices like set-top boxes and digital TVs. Yahoo will provide software support for the desktops and phones. Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance and Flickr will be provided by Yahoo’s Widget.
Washington, August 21 : Scientists have suggested that planting just three rows of trees around poultry farms can cut nuisance emissions of dust, ammonia, and odors from poultry houses.
As part of a research by scientists from the University of Delaware in the US, the findings indicate that some of the emissions can almost be cut by half.
According to George W. Malone from the University of Delaware, trees also provide farms with the added benefit of reducing energy consumption.
Washington, August 21 : Archaeologists digging near the town of Cioroiu Nou, in Dolj country in southern Romania, have come across a Roman fort that might have been the capital of the province of Dacia Malvensis.
“We’ve made some important discoveries. We’re almost certain that we’ve unearthed the capital of Dacia Malvensis, something archaeologists were searching to find for hundred of years,” Mihai Fifor, director of Oltenia Muzeum, told the local press agency NewsIn.
Dolj country is located in southern Romania and almost two millennia ago it was part of the Roman province of Dacia Malvensis.
Washington, August 21 : A team of researchers in the U. S. has come up with the fastest quantum computer bit, which exploits the main advantage of the qubit over the conventional bit.
The team—comprising experts from the University of Michigan, U. S. Naval Research Laboratory, and the University of California at San Diego—has revealed that the use of lasers helped create an initialised quantum state of the solid-state qubit at rates of about a gigahertz, or a billion times per second.
Washington, August 21 : A Purdue University researcher has invented a tiny device called a monolithic comb drive, which may be used as a high-precision "nano-positioner" for such uses as biological sensors and computer hard drives.
Jason Vaughn Clark, an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, insists that the motorized positioning device he has created has twice the dexterity of similar devices being made to boost the performance of biological sensors and computer hard drives.
The researcher says that his design may make it possible to improve a class of probe-based sensors that detect viruses and biological molecules.
