Copied from http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/22/new-wir...ter-than-fiber/ QUOTE New wireless
"WiFiber" tech faster than fiber? Virginia startup GigaBeam set their sights high with their
new wireless system: they're taking on fiber. They dub the tech "WiFiber," and are positioning
the product as a replacement for fiber optic pipes in situations when they're too expensive, too
harmful to the environment, or just too slow to deploy, and they're claiming one gigabit per
second speeds to sweeten the deal. WiFiber operates in the 71-76, 81-86, and 92-95...

Google had just published another new service, it is called google web accelerator, it's an
accelerator for your web surfing, so you can save time surfing the internet, it looks a very great
service when you look at it generally, but for the first time google made a very bad service, it
does nothing new than the old accelerators, to make it appears like a very good brand service they
put a warning that this service is only for broadband ADSL internet connections, not for dialup
internet connections, as they didn't test it for dialup, in fact i did, i tested it...

Brazil. The Google owners were having some business meeting with the local Google group, but they
were also relaxing on the sandy beaches. But something went wrong when they went to a restaurant.
The restaurant was for rather rich people, since it was quite expensive. After finishing the dinner,
the Google owners wanted to pay, but their credit cars got rejected! /biggri...

After a LONG wait, Google finally has managed to round-up it's online office suite by adding in
a basic Presentation creator. However, contrary to all earlier speculations - they haven't named
it Presently . Rather this new app doesn't have any distinct name at all other than being
refered to as Google Presentation. Features Microsoft PowerPoint files less than 10 MB can be
imported and exports take the shape of HTML files with images. Themes and layouts of slides can be
modified - but there aren't too many available options. As it is with Google D...

Just when you thought that Google is running out of ideas for their products, something unexpected
was introduced - a new search engine! I am sure everyone is confused - why would Google make
such a move when they already have the most popular search engine in the world (Yahoo! fans,
face the truth)? The answer is actually quite simple - but this is just my opinion - innovation.
Even though it is so widely used, we must admin that Google's search engine is a bit
old-fashioned. Unfortunately, they can't just upgrade it all of a sudden, as I am sure it wou...

Microsoft has released a new development platform (I think it is) called Microsoft SilverLight. It
is supposed to bring rich, interactive, streaming media into a cross-browser, cross-platform
environment. (Personally, I think they are ignoring Opera). The development team is working hard to
get this running on Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. They are adding support for "major,
leading browsers" quickly and efficiently when possible. Macintosh users (for Mac OS X) can also
download this application which is under 2MB in size. You can download SilverLight 1.0 Beta ...

QUOTE Ventures into online machine based translations haven't met with much success so far -
at least not to a degree that can be called phenomenal. While smaller words / phrases / sentences
translate fine, the translator engines perform rather pathetically when it comes to large chunks of
text. Translation engines have been around since the early 90's, when AltaVista came out with
its famous Babelfish . In general, the online translators are pretty good and are able to convey
the essence of the translated text. However, translator engines fair miserably ...

Human cells are producing energy constantly. Nanotechnology is capturing that energy to do useful
things. Last year the University of Georgia had made great strides with it by using zinx oxide

nanotechnology....

Google's at it again and this time with a much-needed patent search engine. It sports the same
minimalistic interface that's a trademark of Google and allows you to perform fulltext searches
on a database of over 7 million patents and view the details of each patent along with all the
drawings / sketches. The scanned pages of the original patents are displayed in a PDF-like format
with the ability to zoom in/out Apparently it uses the same underlying technology as Google Book

success since IBM already sells a business focused search product called OmniFind that allows
businesses to search through internal documents. You couple this with the Yahoo search platform and

Google's feed reader has undergone a major facelift. Thank God that the developers realised
that the old scrollable interface just wasn't practical enough for users with lots of feeds.

expanded view shows the entire post) * Simplified sharing functionality (just click on the share
link, and add snippets from blog posts to a public page. You can share that page with yo...

partner will be shown the same set of images and asked to provide as many labels as possible to
describe each image you see. When your label matches your partner's label, you'll earn some
points and move on to the next image until time runs out. After time expires, you can exp...
