Next Generation E Paper Technology.

E-paper technology is designed in such a way to mimic the appearance of ordinary paper.   E-paper consists of thin electronic display, unlike ordinary display it reflects sunlight that gives the readers a much more legible text to read.  Electrophoretic display: E-paper technology consists E-ink suspened  between two transpare nt electrode layers. E-ink capsules are made of titanium oxide which are optically reflecting, when voltage is applied some particles move to viewing side of the paper thus causing the reflection of light it appears white  If the particles move to the rear side of the display dark colored moves up front and hence it appears black,thus alternating the voltage a pixel is formed and hence the image.   Further different types of colors can be obtained by placing suitable color filters color filters above the spheres Electrowetting: Electrowetting displays consists of water and oil interface, when no voltage is applied oil is above wate

Five easy steps to create slide show in HTML!!

1. Create six HTML pages and name them frame1.html, frame2.html, frame3.html, frame4.html, frame5.html and frame6.html. Add your own text to the pages. 2. Then within the web page that will be linking to the slideshow (index.html for example), create a link that states something like this: View Our Slideshow (note that this hyperlink is linked to frame1.html) 3. Open frame1.html and add the following meta tag code below between the head tags. Note that the URL we specified is directing the refresh to page2.html after 12 seconds: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="12;url=frame2.html">  4. Then open frame2.html and add the same code in the same location taking care to edit the refresh to frame3.html. Do this on each of the six pages you created in step 1. In frame6.html (or the last page) you can have the slideshow refresh redirect your visitor to another page on your site by simply editing the page name in the http-equiv code of step 3.  5.

Increase your internet speed by 20%

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc. You can get it back, Follow the Procedure : Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes. This opens the group policy editor. Then go to: –> Local Computer Policy   –> Computer Configuration    –> Administrative Templates     –> Network      –> QOS Packet Scheduler       –> Limit Reservable Bandwidth. Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab i.e.” By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.” So the trick is to ENABLE Reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%. It works on Win XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and as well as Win 2000.

Best CEO--Youngsters rule..

Mark zuckberg sails past Larry page in a survey conducted the Glassdoor firm for the best CEO. He out ran Larry page by quite some distance, zuckberg had a near prefect score of 99% approval rate to Larry's 95. Yet another set back was Amazon's chief Jeff Bezos ranking 16th and Apple's Tim Cook 18th place. This explains the success of facebook. The hardcore environment of the company and its motto "move fast and don't be afraid" are self explanatory, for their monumental success. Its sad that only one  female CEO on this list — Sharen Turnet, the CEO of Victoria’s Secret. Though Marissa Mayer, who’s doing an admirable —  job of rescuing Yahoo, wasn’t eligible for the list, since she’s a first-year CEO. If she had been included she would have an approval rate of 87%,which would place her at 32nd in the list.

IBM'S VISION OF THE FUTURE(2018) Sight: A pixel will be worth a thousand words Recognition systems can pinpoint a face in a crowd. In the future, computer vision might save a life by analyzing patterns to make sense of visuals in the context of big data.  In industries as varied as healthcare, retail and agriculture, a system could gather information and detect anomalies specific to the task—such as spotting a tiny area of diseased tissue in an MRI and applying it to the patient's medical history for faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment. Robyn Schwartz Associate Director, IBM Research, Retail Analytics Hearing: Computers will hear what matters Before the tree fell in the forest, did anyone hear it? Sensors that pick up sound patterns and frequency changes will be able to predict weakness in a bridge before it buckles, the deeper meaning of your baby's cry or, yes, a tree breaking down internally before it falls. By analyzing verbal traits and

java is not secure!!

Here is an eye opener, take a look guys!! java and java script not the same........... java is not secure beware!!!! What Is Java? Java  is a programming language that developers use to create applications on your computer. Chances are you've downloaded a program that required the Java runtime, and so you probably have it installed it on your system. Java also has a web plug-in that allows you to run these apps in your browser.  Java is not, however, the same as JavaScript. In fact, they   don't have a ton of similarities   besides their names.  what is java script?? JavaScript is generally used within HTML documents (like web pages) rather than as standalone "apps" that run inside them. This can be a bit confusing since Java also runs in your browser, but they are quite different. A large number of web sites use JavaScript; very few require Java. With that in mind, we're only going to discuss Java here. That's the really insecure one that'
