Videos and tutorials for everyone.

You people would have heard about Ipad recently being announced by Apple. It is expected to be the breakthrough in the E-Business works especially helping you to read documents and ebook just like you do as in the normal paper copy.It also supports many multimedia features like Videos , Internet , Music , FM etc.Ipad is undoubtedly the next generation ebook reader but before it rolls out in market there is another product ,Adam, termed as Ipad killer, is rolling out at same time as of Ipad. Designed by an alumunus of National Institute of Design India, Makarand Kulkarni, Notion Ink’s Adam is another tablet PC. Here are few comparisons of why Adam has edge over Ipad.

1)Dimensions:

Measuring 6.3 x 9.8 x 0.6 inches, Adam weighs around 770 gms. Adam has two versions, one is 12.9mm and the other is 11.4mm in thickness. Both versions are slimmer than iPad which is 13.4mm in thickness.

While Apple’s iPad measures 9.56 inches in height, 7.47 in width and 0.5 inch in depth. iPad weighs 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg), the 3G version is 0.1 pounds heavier.

2)Display:

Adam boasts of a 10-inch Pixel Qi transflective display, a capacitive touchscreen capable of recognizing six simultaneous points of contact. Pixel Qi’s technology offers two different modes: full colour LCD for indoor use or in a low-power reflective mode that actually gets brighter when more direct sunlight falls upon it.

iPad has a 9.7-inch LCD colour screen. The device uses iPhone’s multi-touch technology, Apple’s Magic Mouse, and the company’s trackpad technology found in some of the company’s laptops.

3)Camera

Adam supports a 3 megapixel swivel auto focus camera. This implies that the device will support video calling.

However, Apple’s iPad lacks camera. Lack of camera being widely seen as a negative in iPad as the device is said to be placed somewhere between a smartphone and laptop.

4)Video Output

Adam has HDMI-out and 3 USB ports, and can output video at 1080p resolution.

However, there is no facility for HDMI output in iPad. This means users will not be able to view HD videos on a large TV screen even if they have downloaded the same from iTunes. The Apple device can playback at 720p HD video.

5)Processor

Adam is powered by Nvidia Tegra 2 chip which runs at 1GHz and acts as both a CPU and graphics card in one. It will run on Google’s Android OS.

iPad runs a version of the iPhone’s operating system. The iPad has a 1GHz chip that is custom designed by Apple.

6)Memory

Adam will come in 16GB or 32GB versions.

Apple iPad will come in 16, 32 and 64GB versions.

7)Multi-Tasking

According to Adam creator Notion Ink, the Tablet will support multitasking. This means the device will be able to run several applications in parallel.

However, there is no multitasking option in iPad’s OS. This means for example users can’t listen to FM while they surfing the Web, or switch back and forth between Facebook or Twitter, or write an email while talking on a VOIP call.

8)Flash Support

Adam offers support for Flash, video standard used for viewing websites. However, iPad doesn’t offer support for Flash.

This means users will encounter those `big, empty video boxes in the middle of a page’ while surfing on the pages which require Adobe Flash. Youtube will be supported just like in iPhone but no Flash games. In iPhone 3GS too when users browse through Web pages with Adobe Flash, it displays empty spaces with missing icons.

9)Connectivity

Adam packs WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, a pile of sensors and accelerometers and GPS.

Apple iPad supports both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The WiFi antenna supports 802.11 a/b/g/n. The device also packs GPS.

10)Memory Card Slot

Apple’s iPad doesn’t offer SD card slot which means users cannot expand their memory.

Adam which comes in 16 and 32GB storage options offers SD card slot.

11)Battery

According to Notion Ink, Adam will be able to play music for up to 25 days, 16 hours of internet browsing and play high definition video for 8 hours. According to reports, Adam integrates two breakthrough power saving components that promises twice the battery life of Apple iPad.

iPad offers battery life of up to 10 hours. The standby time is approximately a month.

12)Applications(Apps)

Notion Ink has planned an App competition offering $1,000,000 prize money for the best Adam-compatible app.

Apple’s iPad can use virtually all the over 140,000 apps currently available for the iPhone. However, iPad will let you download applications only from Apple’s AppStore. iPad doesn’t allow users to download any apps other than from the App Store.

13)Price

The Adam is expected to cost about $325.

iPad’s 16GB version of the basic Wi-Fi model will sell for $499. A 32GB version will cost $599, and a 64GB device will be $699. The 3G models won’t be available until April. Those will range in price from $629 to $829.

The only BIG difference between iPad and Adam could be the research expenditure done on them before development. And undoubtedly , iPad stands way ahead of Adam in research done.

Hey people,

Most of you must be knowing what forex is, in general .When we talk about forex we generally talk about trading currencies and doing stuffs related to it. Even i wondered whether doing forex was as easy as trading in stock exchange.Let me tell you that in forex there are hell alot terms to be learnt and you really require much brain for ,so called,forexing . You require to do loads of calculation in order to make profit out of it where as if we talk about stock exchange trading , we require to research and have knowledge about shares . In fact , these two are pretty much different from one another . Let me tell you honestly if you compare good trader in forex to good trader in Stock exchange , there is a 90% chance that the forex trader would earn more. Well this may sound a bit strange(Before, even if felt it strange) because the liquidity of forex is much more than that of stocks . Also , the forex is open 24X5 i.e. 24 hours on weekdays , where as Stock exchange open generally for 8-10 hours .

These all were the reasons which inspired me to go and checkout the forex and do some miracles which I have been doing during stock trading. Best thing about forex is that the online brokers provide a demo account. Now ,
Q.What is demo account?
Ans. Demo account is the account provided by the forex broker to the user in which the user can trade in the forex market but with virtual money i.e. you don’t have to submit any money to the broker to trade in the forex market. This feature given by the forex brokers is very important for the beginners . They can trade live online with virtual money and get to know the ups and downs of the market. How to use the features of broker. In demo account , everything is original except for the money..

For Beginners:

I referred and learnt alot from websites BabyPips & ForexFactory . I would recommend you to go to these websites and see the tutorials . They have arranged it in very nice way.If you don’t like the content(which is unlikely to happen) you may google for forex lessons !

Let me warn the beginner/newbies that forex trading is very very risky!You require to invest large amount in it in order to gain the appreciable amount of profit ,but remember if you can get profit out of it so there is a big chance of having loss as well,actually a BIG LOSS!So do trading in demo account for atleast 3-4 months, get to know the different currencies , their plus points , their minus points and ,if possible, try and make notes of it. Once you are experienced , go for a live account invest some good amount and be ready to face the consequences , there’s right saying “No Pain , No Gain” .

Now my experience , I have not much experience of Forex trading , so right now i am confined to demo accounts only . Recently i opened another demo account in ZuluTrade( though you can open in any broker website) . They have good user interface and we get $50,000 Equity initially to do the virtual trading. You can call it my luck or my learning speed that from the very beginning I started to to make profit . And let me tell you the profit was not small it was huge.

I made profit 1100 pippets in first 4 days only!!!Let me tell you 1100 pippetes were approximately equal to $12000 but again let me tell you that i was trading with $50,000 virtual equity , which anyone hardly trades . Though the profit % was still good . Again after seeing such good progress i tried to see how much best i could earn in 1 day and honestly speaking , after seeing the profit for the day I was extremely delighted I earned profit of 2000 Pippetes in just ONE DAY!That makes around $20,000 profit in a day! I was cursing myself why didn’t i open a live account but anyways you never know what can happen in future .

.

I am now not trading currently due to some personal reasons but i would surely trade in near by future and that too with live account. I fell that i still need to learn much more in forex trading before going to the live account .

So again let me tell you people that forex trading isn’t easy at all , it requires pretty much of skills of humans , so learn forex , do demo trading for 3-4 months and then only go for live account .

Michael Jackson the singer was also Michael Jackson the billion-dollar business.

Yet after selling more than 61 million albums in the US and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, the “King of Pop” died Thursday at age 50 reportedly awash in about $400 million in debt, on the cusp of a final comeback after well over a decade of scandal.

Michael Jackson died at the UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

“It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known,” his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.
The moonwalking pop star drove the growth of music videos, vaulting cable channel MTV into the popular mainstream after its launch in 1981. His 1982 hit “Thriller,” still the second best-selling U.S. album of all time, spawned a John Landis-directed music video that MTV played every hour on the hour.

“The ratings were three or four times what they were normally every time the video came on,” said Judy McGrath, the chairman and CEO of Viacom Inc.’s MTV Networks. “He was inextricably tied to the so-called MTV generation.”

Five years later, “Bad” sold 22 million copies. In 1991, he signed a $65 million recording deal with Sony.

Jackson was so popular that The Walt Disney Co. hitched its wagon to his star in 1986, opening a 3-D movie at its parks called “Captain EO,” executive produced by George Lucas and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The last attraction in Paris closed 12 years later.

One of Jackson’s shrewdest deals at the height of his fame in 1985 was the $47.5 million acquisition of ATV Music, which owned the copyright to songs written by the Beatles’ John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The catalog provided Jackson a steady stream of income and the ability to afford a lavish lifestyle.

He bought the sprawling Neverland ranch in 1988 for $14.6 million, a fantasy-like 2,500-acre property nestled in the hills of Santa Barbara County’s wine country.

But the bombshell hit in 1993 when he was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy.

“That kind of represents the beginning of the walk down a tragic path, financially, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, legally,” said Michael Levine, his publicist at the time.

He settled with the boy’s family, but other accounts of his alleged pedophilia began to emerge.

When he ran into further financial problems, he agreed to a deal with Sony in 1995 to merge ATV with Sony’s library of songs and sold Sony music publishing rights for $95 million. Then in 2001, he used his half of the ATV assets as collateral to secure $200 million in loans from Bank of America.

As his financial problems continued, Jackson began to borrow large sums of money, according to a 2002 lawsuit by Union Finance & Investment Corp. that sought $12 million in unpaid fees and expenses.

In 2003, Jackson was arrested on charges that he molested another 13-year-old boy. The 2005 trial, which ultimately ended in an acquittal, brought to light more details of Jackson’s strained finances.

One forensic accountant testified that the singer had an “ongoing cash crisis” and was spending $20 million to $30 million more per year than he earned.

In March of last year, the singer faced foreclosure on Neverland. He also repeatedly failed to make mortgage payments on a house in Los Angeles that had been used for years by his family.

In addition, Jackson was forced to defend himself against a slew of lawsuits in recent years, including a $7 million claim from Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the second son of the king of Bahrain.

Memorabilia auctions were frequently announced but became the subject of legal wrangling and were often canceled.

Time and again, however, Jackson found a way to wring cash out of high-value assets, borrowing tens of millions at a time or leaning on wealthy friends for advice, if not for money.

Al Khalifa, 33, took Jackson under his wing after his acquittal, moving him to the small Gulf estate and showering him with money.

In his lawsuit, Al Khalifa claimed he gave Jackson millions of dollars to help shore up his finances, cut an album, write an autobiography and subsidize his lifestyle, including more than $300,000 for a “motivational guru.” The lawsuit was settled last year for an undisclosed amount. Neither the album nor book was ever produced.

Another wealthy benefactor came to Jackson’s aid last year as he faced the prospect of losing Neverland in a public auction.

Billionaire Thomas Barrack, chairman and CEO of Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm Colony Capital LLC, agreed to bail out the singer and set up a joint venture with Jackson that took ownership of the vast estate.

Barrack was unavailable for comment Thursday, but referred to the singer in a statement as a “gentle, talented and compassionate man.”

A final piece of the financial jigsaw puzzle fell into place in March, when billionaire Philip Anschutz’ concert promotion company AEG Live announced it would promote 50 shows in London’s O2 arena. Tickets sold out, and the first show of the “This is It” tour was set for July 8.

Jackson, who has won 13 Grammys, hadn’t toured since 1997. His last studio album, “Invincible,” was released in 2001.

But the opening date was later postponed to July 13 and some shows moved back to March 2010, fueling speculation that Jackson was suffering from health ailments that could curtail his comeback bid.

His death, caused by cardiac arrest according to his brother Jermaine, raised the question whether an insurer would refund money to ticket-holders. AEG Live did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Jackson was practicing for the concert in Los Angeles at the Staples Center with Kenny Ortega, a choreographer and director of the “High School Musical” movies, who has worked on previous Jackson videos like “Dangerous” in 1993.

“We had a 25-year friendship. This is all too much to comprehend,” Ortega said in a statement. “This was the world’s greatest performer and the world will miss him.”

Although we know that it is possible to heat the gold nanoparticles with light to eliminate tumor cells, now, researchers from Northwestern University in the U.S., have quantified how these particles can be designed especially to optimize your photo-response when exposed to infrared light . The work, published in Nano Letters reviewed, will be pivotal in the future development of nanoparticles for cancer treatment.

Nanoparticles of noble metals generate heat when exposed to light. This heat can be used to destroy localized cancer cells without harming healthy surrounding tissue. The gold nanoparticles are ideal candidates for a photo-therapy because their optical properties can be tuned in the near infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Moreover, they are bio compatible and safe, and their surfaces can be modified with antibodies directed toward specific receptors of tumor cells.

However, until now researchers have paid little attention to how you should design nanoparticles to achieve the photo-response more effective. As the director of the team, Teri Odom, nanoparticles have been tested as therapeutic agents based on their availability, rather than seeking to measure properties optimized.

“Our work seeks to identify the most important structural parameters for the design of nanoparticles of noble metals that may lead to a photo-optimized,” he said to nanotechweb.org. To do this, we evaluate how different sizes, shapes and thicknesses of pyramidal nanoparticles influenced the photo-response. ”

Comparing the amount of heat generated by four types of pyramid gold particles in solution when exposed to light of a near infrared laser, the team found that particles with structures thinner and more acute tips produced the greatest amount of heat . These particles would be best for the photo-therapy. To ensure that differences in geometry were the only ones responsible for the observed temperature rise, the researchers compared the absolute quantity of gold present in each set of particles.

“The results provided a simple platform to identify the most important structural features in the design of photo-nanoparticles for the treatment of cancer,” said Odom.

Scientists are now investigating the response of photo-nanopiramides in vitro using cells from breast cancer. To do this, first, the functionalising nanopirámides with antibodies that attack cancer cells, and then are irradiated with a laser of near infrared light to remove the cells.

Nanoparticles to carry genes that destroys tumors :

Nanotechnology has been used first to destroy cancer cells with a package of genes in tumors hunters “directed with great precision. The technique, which does not affect healthy cells, could offer hope to people with difficult to treat cancers, which is not possible to use surgery.

The study, conducted in the United Kingdom, was published online in the journal Cancer Research. Although time has only been tested on mice, researchers hope to conduct human trials in two years.

The genes wrapped in microscopic nanoparticles that were absorbed by cancer cells but not healthy for his neighbors. Once inside, the genes stimulated the production of a protein that destroys the cancer.

The researchers say that this technology could be especially relevant for people with cancers that can not operate too close to vital organs. And expect to be ultimately used to treat cancers that have spread.

The principal investigator, Dr. Andreas Schatzlein, Faculty of Pharmacy of London, said: “The gene therapy has great potential to create safe and effective treatments for cancer, but to introduce genes in cancer cells remains one of the main difficulties in this field. ”

“This is the first time that nanoparticles have managed to target tumors selectively so, what constitutes a great step forward in the field,” he added.

“Once inside the cell, the gene involved in the particle environment cancerous recognizes and is activated. The result is toxic, but only harmful to cells, leaving healthy tissue intact,” said Schatzlein.

Traditional Chemotherapy indiscriminately eliminates cells in the affected area of the body, causing side effects such as fatigue, hair loss or nausea. It is hoped that gene therapy has fewer side effects, attacking only the cancer cells.

According to Dr Lesley Walker, of the nonprofit Cancer Research UK: “These results are very encouraging and we look to see if you can use this method to treat cancer in people.”

Ain’t this Information pretty excellent and pretty relieving for the Cancer patients??

NanopartículasLa word “nanotechnology” is used extensively to define the science and techniques applied to a nanoscale level, that is extremely small measures “nanites” that can work and manipulate the atoms and their molecular structures. In short we take the possibility of producing materials and machines from the rearrangement of atoms and molecules. The development of this discipline is based on proposals of Richard Feynman (outline – history of nanotechnology).

The best definition of nanotechnology that we have found is this: Nanotechnology is the study, design, creation, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials, functional devices and systems through control of matter at the nano scale, and the exploitation of phenomena and properties of matter at the nano scale.

When handling the matter so minuscule scale of atoms and molecules, shows entirely new phenomena and properties. Therefore, scientists use nanotechnology to create materials, devices and systems with innovative and inexpensive unique properties

We are interested in, rather than its concept, which is potentially within the set of current research and applications whose purpose is to create new structures and products that have a large impact on industry, medicine (nanomedicine), etc. ..

nanoparticulasEsta new structures with atomic precision, such as carbon nanotubes, or small instruments inside the human body can be incorporated into a new era, as stated by Charles Vest (former president of MIT). Advances in nanotechnology protagonizarían this knowledge society with a multitude of developments with a great impact on their social and instrumentation business.

Nanoscience is linked in large measure from the 80′s with Drexler and his contributions to “molecular nanotechnology”, ie the construction of nanomachines made of atoms that are themselves able to build other molecular components. Since then Eric Drexler (personal webpage) is considered one of the most visionary on this issue. Already in 1986, in his book “Engines of Creation” made the promises and perils of molecular manipulation. Currently chairs the Foresight Institute.

nanotubosEl father of “nanoscience” is considered to Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate in Physics, who in 1959 proposed to manufacture products based on a rearrangement of atoms and molecules. In 1959, the great physicist who wrote an article analyzing how computers work with individual atoms may consume very little energy and amazing speeds.

There is a strong consensus that nanotechnology will lead to a second industrial revolution in the twenty-first century as announced a few years ago, Charles Vest (former president of MIT).

nanotubosSupondra many advances in many industries and new materials with extraordinary properties (developing materials stronger than steel but with only ten percent weight), new software components unbelievably faster or molecular sensors capable of detecting and destroying cancer cells in dedlicadas parts of the human body as the brain, among many other applications.

We can say that much progress in nanoscience will be among the technological breakthroughs that will change the world.

Camera is one of the best way to keep the memory of the old time. One can anytime take picture and just print it or keep it in computer so to keep safe his/her old memories.

Digital camera is one of the best creation done by the scientist’s.It was Steven J. Sasson who gave the final result by developing the complete Camera.In 1975 he began to start the research on the project which was given to him by his supervisor at eastman Kodak Company.He set about building the digital circuitry from scratch, using oscilloscope measurements as a reference.

In 1972 Texas Instruments introduced the first film-less electronic camera. In 1981 Sony released the Mavica ,the first electronic still camera. Mavica recorded the still images to a mini disc, that could be read by a video recorder.

The true Digital camera arrived in 1986 it was a still camera.The Image sensor could record 1.4 million pixels and produce 5 x 7 photo print.However the camera was not used by many people because very less people could afford it as it was too costly at that time.

As the time passed , the advancement in the cameras took place at a very faster pace.Also , their prices started to reduce .

Since the mid 90s , the cost of Cameras has reduced to a significant amount , so that it can be afforded by the common man. The advancement in technology has has been rapid and so is the reduction in price.Nowadays, a person can afford more than 1 camera in a family.Also the cameras have started to come in the latest Mobile Phones which has even increased it’s popularity.

Commonly known as LED(Light Emitting Diode), it is actually a p-n junction diode which is capable of emitting light. A LED operates like a regular p-n junction diode.
Diodes have to be forward biased for current transfer.

What makes a LED different from a regular diode is the semiconductor material which is used to form the p-n junction regular diodes which are generally made of semiconductor materials like Silicon or Germanium; whereas LEDs are made of materials like Gallium arsenide (GaAs) compounds and Indium(III) phosphide (InP) compounds.

In a regular diode, when current flows, energy is thrown off in form of heat. In light emitting diode, an electric current passing through the diode causes the light in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to be emitted.

LEDs can emit lights of different colors. The color of the light emitted usually depends on the semiconductor material used to fabricate the p-n junction in the diode. For example, Gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) is used to make LED that emit red light and Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) for blue LED.
You would have seen several electrical devices that use LED. Using LEDs to provide visual indication in displays is very common. Some times many LEDs are packaged together to form numeric display. You even would have seen these displays on your microwaves or your washing machines for setting timers.
As LED of the higher power is developed and optics for LED evolves, LEDs are being used increasingly to replace incandescent lamps and area lighting. They are used for the UV-based water purification system as well.

I hope the article was informative. Please do comment and let me know.
