Light Peak

Well, USB 3.0 is around the corner and… Hold on one minute please…

“HEY USB!! I TOLD YOU TO KEEP LOOKING AT THE WALL IN THAT CORNER!! I WON’T LET GO OF YOU UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE!!”

Anyway, as I was saying… USB 3.0 is around the corner and so is SATA/600. And now, INTEL is working on their new “Light Peak” concept that is literally some infrared lights pew-pewing through a long fibre-optic cable (Probably as long as longcat) with crap load of stuff you can attach from keyboards and mice to storage network devices.

This baby can do 10Gbps data transfer both ways at the same time (Just like a doggy-door) and can go up to 100Gbps with some controller upgrades.

According to INTEL, “Light Peak” would be ready to ship sometime during 2010.

Internet Explorer Six has passed away

On March 1, 2010, everyones’ most despised favorite browser passed away after almost a decade of loyalty and hard work. some might hate it for it’s lousy CSS support while others might loath it for it’s rather abundant security holes. but now is not the time to speak harshly about our late browser.

A funeral was held yesterday in Denver. where people came to pay their last respects to the beloved browser. Funeral attire was encouraged and teeshirts were made available.

Some might argue that ie6 is still running minimized in their task bar. but in reality, they are just in shock and aren’t prepared to let go. good bye old friend, you shall be dearly missed.

LALALALA!!!!

I was linked to this video from a friend and I have a feeling that this video is going to be the next “Rick Roll” mem on the net. He’s a famous Russian singer from the 60’s. Don’t know his name. But if you were to see the video and listen to the song you’d probably understand how I feel. I’m practically cracking up especially from 1:47 and onwards of the video. I had to stop it otherwise I’d faint. This would probably make a bloody LOL e-mail to send your colleagues at work. Speaking of LOL. I think that’s what he is saying throughout the whole song!!! Oh and for some reason the look on his face creeps me out. Looks like PEdo bear.

Microsoft’s portable surface

Yes, Microsoft Surface can’t be installed anywhere due to cost and size. So Microsoft Research are coming up with an alternative solution.

To make things short, it’s a combination of a projector and a camera. Not the first to come up with this concept (Light Blue Optics was there first and this is almost identical to that), but it’s nice to know that Microsoft is researching things and expanding their interests.

I’m still waiting for their Screen Concept to be out in the market.

STYLO

It’s been five years and now they are back. The  Gorillaz, with their new album Plastic Beach. Their current song that’s floating around youtube is Stylo. I liked it because it sounded really weird and retro. I’m not a big fan of these guys but if you like weird beats/ retro give this one a listen.

Music Video: STYLO
