Why and when use the VPN service or virtual private network?

Thursday, 2 December 2010

VPN is the short form of virtual private network which is a service that can be available for you using the present network technology. VPN service can provide a good security and let you transfer data over internet securely and keeps your information private.
This is good for online transaction with sensitive financial pass-code and data since VPN service can makes the communication confidential by blocking the sniffing and spoofing from the third party and malicious attackers.
There are several VPN protocols which are used to make the VPN working. As an example
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security ) , when IPV6 in windows are enabled by the admin then
the vpn service become active for the domain users. Another implementation of secure socket layer (SSL) which makes the data encrypted. SSL is very important when making a transaction over net since your network may not filtered by all ports and sniffer can use them to get your data.

If you want to use the VPN technology then you can Buy VPN Accounts at VPN Master.
Their service is very fast because they maintain their member with limited number for each
of their server which allow user to access internet with smooth speed. And they have many ip's
from US region and also UK, Canada and Germany if you need IP other than US. You can
almost access any site you want, so no worry about blocked site you could not access before.
Their data encryption even prevent your ISP from spying you, and also you can use password
and credit card information in the internet safely with their service.

VPN is useful for an organization for they can reduce cost by avoiding many leased lines, and communicate between their office computer securely and access the internet without loosing their private information.

VPN are normally implemented for a business or organization but it can be reached to the individual by make them connected in the server individually. So a person can look for a server to use their service for use for accessing the internet. It is also useful when a user is limited to use internet for the restricted ip in his area. Or need security for his online communication.

Zero powered LCD writing tablet called Boogie Board.

Wednesday, 10 February 2010

Everyday we are destroying trees on point of producing papers for the purpose of writing and educational requirement. But we may not need of papers for writing purpose anymore or for writing in education centre. Know how? Its all came from the idea of  US based screen manufacturer who released their innovative LCD writing tablet which is called Boogey Board which can be used for writing on its screen like a slate board. On the other hand it will use less power, they says it Zero power LCD Tablet. Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet gives a BRIGHT future without using paper and power. It will keep the pace of official or educational writing on the other hand.


Boogie Board has a electronic Ink display with a flexible panel. This writing board offers a reflective layer that does not Y any backlight resulting in zero power consumption.
In point of fact this writing pad is a pressure sensitive screen. So depending on the force applied by user it produces the thickness, deep or bright effect on the LCD board.
Even though Kent Display declare Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet as a zero power consumption device, but it merely requires a wrist watch battery to wipe the screen. The big deal is each tiny battery can used to wipe the screen for 50,000 times.
For writing on the LCD Tablet you can use its provided stainless steel stylus, finger, plastic stick etc. Another thing that makes its appeal is, it is only weighted 4.2 ounce with dimensions of 8.8 x 5.6 inches. Since the entire Writing Tablet is made of plastic, Boogie Board assure you the durability that will stays with you for years.
Although it is best suited for kids you know but in other hand it is suitable for every one of any age or profession to use  of this zero power consuming writing tablet and help saving papers and trees for a smart and better environment in our age. And the Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet are available for only USD30 which makes it widely affordable.

Running Humanoid Robot of Toyota, now faster in the robotics industry.

Friday, 5 February 2010

Science and technology is upgrading with brand new ideas day by day. Not an exception in the automakers and robotics industry. As we seen Honda’s ASIMO robots and so on. Now Toyota also developed few robots with their innovative ideas and technology. Their humanoid prototypes hopes to demonstrate new function with better capabilities common to our daily life. Toyota’s new humanoid robot is 130cm tall and weighs 50Kg, its stands like human with more than one joints in the legs and have seven degrees of freedom allowing it to run at an average speed of 7 km/h. As a comparison, their rival – ASIMO’s highest speed is only 6km/h. with the aim of achieving this,Toyota researchers had to build up new real-time methods for balance control. These methods give a safety for this running robot to remain in balance if it stand a race of 100 meter and if it goes dirty. So it will apply its balance control in motion.

Scanner pen: light and easy smart portable scanner.



In this era of technology, we don't like to wait to see and grab new gadgets and device when it releases in the industry. We try to do everything with less time and trouble and make our work more productive and make the job easy.

Now the Computers , Mobiles , and their related device has more option and can solve a wide range of task. But also we look other facility like portability , lighter machines and device that require less space and can carry easily and of course which work faster for saving our time and give more output.


For this case now you can think some thing new in the place of flatbed scanner we use at home and office. Now you for scanning the text documents and converting them with OCR is easier and don't require to carry your scanner with you or doing those task sitting only at your office or home. Now as a replacement and alternative you can now have the ability to do the scanning task on your way at your study or in library and office and home as well with the pen scanner that is so tiny and portable. And it will fill-up your demand in better way and can be handy in some cases.

Pen Scanner has released for some years already but new versions are updating by new tweaks, hardware and software. Often time pen scanner work like highlighter pens, that means you roll its tip on one line at a time and then roll on the next line and so on. Its look handy for some one, who likes to collect few lines from magazines or newspaper or quotation from a book etc. But it may feel boring when you scan a full page.

The new released pen scanner can serve better, its scanning eye is 9 inch rounded blue plastic rod is not at the tip, it’s a fully flat edge. You will just take the flat edge on the line parallel that’s all.

If your pen scanner consists of built in 8 megabytes then it can hold 100 page of black and white text or 2 full page of coloured text. But you can extend the storage with MicroSD memory card if you need. Later on you can plug it in the computer and finalize the document captures. When you connect the pen scanner then it will be recharged and ready again to scan around 40 or more pages with the charge of the battery.

Later on snapshot of your documents that you store as TIFF format can be converted to editable text if you convert them with optical character recognition software(O.C.R),


Another release of pen scanner is IrishPen 6, they offer some smart feature such as: Instantly enters text numbers and images into any application. This scanner pen also works like highlighter, simply slide it over printed information, what you get is real and editable text right at your cursor.

Korean housemaid robot can do household works at your home

Tuesday, 2 February 2010

Have you ever imagine a robot walking inside your house, going to your kitchen and doing your household chore with its robotic hand? Well you don’t have to wait any longer to see that in real in the age of technology and science.

Because in Korea, scientist at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology made a domestic robot that can wash cloths and do the laundry and even make your food and heat up in the microwave machine. They name this robot “Mahru-Z”. It is a humanoid robot which moves and work like human with arms and legs. And the size of this robot is also close to human. It can rotate head and has a visualization functionality to “see” objects and identify them and make decision what to do with it. This visualization system is three dimensional so more reliability and improved for detecting object for working with less error. Its weighted only around 120 pounds. It uses 6 fingers though to fill the requirement of doing job in robotic arms to reach more functionality like human. For ability of moving and rotating the hand and elbow it can do the work of good laundry job , such as picking up dirty cloths throwing them to laundry machine and then pushing the button to complete the washing and make the laundry job done.

Another strength of Mahru-Z is that it is autonomous, as it can navigate rooms unattended using its visual sensors, and pick things up on the way.'
Mahru-Z could also work in tandem with its fellow maid robot, Marhu-M, an earlier KIST creation that moves on wheels, as both version of these robot machines can be remote controlled through a computer server so the task are can be reliable and improved in future.
Mahru-Z is the result of KIST's long time research on "cognitive humanoid" robots, a key project at the institution. These projects cost about 4 billion won in currency of Korea (about $3.5 million) per year.

Can we say iPad a computer or not ?

The Apple’s iPad has the touch screen feature, and it has a loads of media supported feature and has created more expectation for us, but can we say this a new generation computer. It created a critical doubt to us right? Because we know windows 7 os is going to give us touchpad functionality. As it giving the thought to call it a keyboard less Laptop.


It has capability of presenting power point presentation. And its likely similar net-book. In smart-book and net-book we have seen that for supporting the device the less required OS Such as Linux OS with preinstalled application has been used instead of XP operating System. Where this iPad can use a customized version of Windows 7 and iPad os integrated with it. So when it will able to customized tablet OS then it can become a much smaller tablet iPad likely to smart-book and Net-book. And few more apps, such as word suit, power point suit integrated with this iPad can take it into more advanced stage. As it is much smaller and smart looking so it will draw much attraction to the next generation. And its far more than a media player only that has been thought by us in past. You can read news and web page with scrolling feature just flicking your finger up and down. Send e-mail with built in keyboard feature. You can create album and share your photos. You can enjoy media such as HD Movies and TV Shows. Play youtube videos. iPad runs almost 140,000 apps from the App Store. Everything from games to business apps and more. And feature like calendar maintaining, keeping a vast number of contacts , making notes etc.


Still the matter opposed to it are it is flat and horizontal, and if a docs station is attached with it then it stays also horizontal instead of just vertical like other desktop that reminds us the old computer style. Lately when it has been released there are another lacking about its platform is, you will have no freedom installing apps like firefox or even flash or any other pc based software. So you will be limited to do certain task only rather than the varities of options you do in real computer, but I'll say that it is not bad for specific task for few specific needs.
But the screen size and huge storage than any other hand held phone or itunes it really drew an attention to integrate a new iPad OS version that can make us thinking to compared it with a new doors of laptop or Net-Book. Now it’s your turn to say if it is a next generation laptop or just an iPad that are giving a little bit of computer service.

Robotic Arm; opening door in the medical and science invention.

Sunday, 31 January 2010

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), running a team of over 30 contracted organizations similar to a virtual corporation, has another. The two groups were in a friendly competition throughout the first two-year phase. The new limb prototypes, already in clinical trials, are modular marvels of engineering that recommend far more movement— which can be said degrees of freedom in engineerspeak— than today’s artificial body parts, which normally have only three possible movements. The goal is an artificial human body parts with the same size, weight, and clumsiness as a real arm. That means as many as 25 degrees of freedom working in conjunction, so the patient doesn’t have to choose to involve in bending an elbow and manipulating fingers but can actually do both at once. maybe more miraculously, as both DEKA and APL enter the next phase of DARPA’s Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 (RP 2009) program, the limbs can interface directly with an amputee’s nerve endings through targeted muscle reinnervation.


This is a method developed at Northwestern University and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago to let nerve signals motivate unused muscles to control an artificial hand and fingers. There are more option for a person who lost his hand closer to the wrist, announced by APL group. And if the person got no muscle then it goes to peripheral muscle itself. APL places injectable myoelectric sensors (IMES) into the flesh to look for the electrical movement in a muscle contraction and uses it to control the prosthetic arm wirelessly. IMES should go to the FDA for approval soon. APL is hoping to see a handy body limb system within two years.


DEKA calls its artificial limb design the “Luke Arm,” after Luke Skywalker, who gets a fully functional artificial hand in The Empire Strikes Back. Patient comfort is a major plan goal for DEKA. The researchers discovered that a number of amputees don’t even use their prosthetics as the limbs hurt to wear. They create constant stress because they’re attached so tightly. The Luke Arm has a dynamic socket that can adjust, fitting tighter when the user is lifting something and extra support is needed, but looser if the person isn’t using the limb. Eventually, these new body parts could interface with the brain itself, a goal that both DEKA and APL are working toward. Getting way from the motor cortex of the brain might be the only option for an amputee for a person that has a spinal injury as well. The initial goal, though, is a neural interface strategy, such as IMES, that’s modestly invasive. DEKA’s project manager, calls complete, intuitive brain control the researchers’ holy grail. He says there’s even the potential for eternally attaching a prosthesis to the patient’s skeletal system.
Needham gives a lot of credit to DARPA and Colonel Geoffrey Ling, the manager of RP 2009, for making this project, which will benefit not only soldiers but also anyone with a lost arm. “DARPA stepped up and made resources obtainable to make this happen. We appreciate them having the idea to do that,” Needham says. Harshbarger says APL’s aim for its artificial limb is to have it settle into a developed cycle similar to those of digital cameras or phones. “Every couple of years, a new generation comes out with new capabilities, more pixels, more courageous, but the price sets about the same.” He wants these new limbs to cost no more when produced and fitted than an artificial limb expenses today. That’s not small potatoes: $75,000 worth to $100,000 worth by the time a clinician fits the prosthesis. But the much higher level of performance brought about by the new science will at last formulate it feel like money well utilized.


And we give thanks to science as it is taking us forward day by day.

Existence in the innovative Cloud

Everybody is talking on cloud computing. Nevertheless what is it, who is competing for this, and what will it mean to the everyday users?

The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet, depending on the cloud drawing used to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the original infrastructure it represents. Usual cloud computing providers distribute common business applications online which are accessed from a web browser, whereas the software and data are stored on servers.


Cloud computing is placed to take over the world, or at least possibly reinstate Microsoft Outlook.
The cloud concept is simple: It’s a way to access your data and apps from anywhere, via the Internet (or “the cloud”).

In general, cloud computing customers do not own the physical infrastructure, instead avoiding capital expenditure by renting usage from a third-party provider

Yet everyone from Gartner Group to Google has a slightly different take on cloud computing: It can be whatever thing from storing and sharing documents on Google Docs to manage your entire company
operations using a remote, third-party data center. Some imagine it as a way to compute without operating systems, or pesky local client programs, and with minimal hardware needs (just a basic client machine).
Basically the function is to construct of the hardware from the service, as of the location of the servers is not as important as easy access to the data. Perhaps cloud technology will have a trace in every business that does IT within the next five years.

The particular type of cloud computing that the business world could take advantage of requires massive server cluster farms and super fast network bandwidth. It also requires that companies be standing by to transfer their data to a third party. A few small companies, among them Zoho.com (which offers business
apps, such as word processing and task lists) and Box.net (which supplies online file storage) have recognized themselves as SaaS (software as a service) providers, with varying degrees of success. But SaaS is mainly a race between Google and Microsoft to provide advertiser-supported cloud applications to customers.

Depending on the SaaS provider, data can be encrypted from point to point, and as services are Web-based, they’re very simple to patch. For example, Google can take action to a new security threat devoid of customers even being aware of the problem—or the fix. But

end users fundamentally would have to entrust their data to an outside entity, So that the company
is working to allay the fears that make trust hard to achieve. “Google is investing huge amounts of capital and hard service equity to ensure that it can protect data better than someone can do themselves. “Cloud computing will be additive. Usage style will change, and users will observe primarily to the cloud for most of the things they revolve to their PCs for today.”

Yet others aren’t as optimistic about cloud computing. Forrester Research analyst cautions that it’s not quite ready for prime time. Add to that the privacy, network bandwidth, and political hurdles yet to address, and it looks as if cloud computing will have to drop down to earth a bit more before it can enjoy
widespread adoption by both consumers and businesses.

The framework is in an early phase of development—it’s almost experimental, rather than a trustworthy and trusted computing paradigm. Ironically, even though Google is battling to dominate the cloud, some of its apps, such as Google Earth, still cache a incredible amount of data locally to speed up operations. —Source Internet & Magazines

The 256-Processor Foldable Laptop

Saturday, 30 January 2010

In 2020, only techies will care about the technology in their laptops. Most users will by no means even think about it, as laptops will comprise so much processing power in addition to the Internet cloud will offer so much storage. What will issue is style. Here’s the vision of Lenovo’s Howard Locker, Master Inventor and Chief of Strategic Technology.

> Bendable, thin slate folds up to slip into pocket.
> Screen functional outdoors.
> 6G, always-on, wireless connectivity reaches 550 Mbps.
> Thin, light battery lasts 5 to 7 days.
> 256-core processor is fundamentally a data center cluster on your lap.
> Touch screen and voice recognition; virtual keyboard with tactile feedback
    for serious content creation.
> Thin, light, 300-pixel-per-inch OLED screen rolls out to any size you want.
> Very light, strong material, even better than titanium. Entire system weighs half
    a pound.

I just love it and so jealous to get it before anyone have it and in short I can tell that in the run of modern pace it is absolutely perfect to grab this foldable laptop quickly for anyone whoever see this, don’t you also think that?

Google Presents Nexus One Phone


Google reveals its new Nexus One smartphone on January 5, in a straight challenge to heavyweight Apple's iPhone handsets.

The Internet giant allocated the touch-screen device, the culmination of partnership with Taiwanese electronics titan HTC, a 'superphone' that marked the next step in the evolution of its Android software.

It offers all the possible service it can give with the support of latest technology of smartphone. And broke the benchmark of previous service that was available in super smartphone so far. It came to a debut for all in the Google Headquarter in mountain view, California.
This smartphone is thin and feels good in hand and the design looks so sophisticate that anyone would love to have it.

Nexus One handsets are no thicker than pencils and no heavier than keychain Swiss Army knives, said by Google engineer Erick Tseng.

Nexus One smartphones are built similar to the Android 2.1 software which runs Droid smartphones that newly hit the market with innovations like 3D graphics, according to Tseng.

The handsets feature new speech command capabilities that allow users to use while running email application, text messages or Internet search queries.

Nexus One devices have capabilities provide turn-by-turn spoken driving directions from a Google mapping program.

Google launched its own online store at google.com/phone where the Nexus One will be sold.

"This is really a Google phone," said Interpret analyst Michael Gartenberg.

Nexus One smartphones will be available in the Google-hosted Web store for 529 dollars with "unlocked," condition means simply without ties to a telecom carrier.

Many Android phones that are sold in the market have some barrier or some conditional issue. One of the ways to avoid mediocrity is throwing away the conditional issues and tuning it for your comfort.
