Info CORPORATE – Notícias – CEOs querem uma TI que se adapte às mudanças

Info CORPORATE – Notícias – CEOs querem uma TI que se adapte às mudanças: “SÃO PAULO – Um estudo realizado pela IDC descobriu que os CEOs brasileiros querem que a Tecnologia da Informação de suas empresas consiga se adaptar às mudanças.
A pesquisa foi realizada com 187 CEOs, vice-presidentes de negócios e decisores de TI de empresas brasileiras, argentinas e mexicanas.

ASUS UFOTO UF735: Style Minus The Substance – Gizmo Watch

ASUS UFOTO UF735: Style Minus The Substance – Gizmo Watch: “Digiframes are becoming hot living room and work table accessories by the passing day with them flaunting plenty of functionality in addition to their primary function of displaying photos. Recently, we had Fidelity Electronics coming out with a digital photo frame that had a humongous memory of 80 GB to catch the consumers attention. Not to be outdone, ASUS has announced it’s UFOTO UF735 digiframe that can double up as your PC’s secondary display. Apart from this little bit of gimmicky innovation and it’s ravishing looks, the UFOTO has pretty much the same specifications as the other basic digital photo frames in the market. Read that as MP3 support, a 128MB memory, a headphone jack and lest we forget, it’s main function of displaying digital images. On the whole, the ASUS’s UFOTO UF735 looks more like a gimmicky digital photo frame than something that has enough substance for us to stand up and take notice.

Is It Really Possible To Build A ‘conscious Machine’ ? – Gizmo Watch


Is It Really Possible To Build A ‘conscious Machine’ ? – Gizmo Watch: "How would you build a conscious machine? Well to begin with I’d get Life Insurance and then take my brain and put it in a jar and freeze my body. Then hundreds of years later wake me up and transplant me into an IronMan. Yes, I partially got that idea from the movie IronMan and from Futurama. I’m still going to do it though. But more to the point, Christof Koch and Giulio Tononi both have good points of in their articles that they wrote on consciousness and robots. Strictly speaking, I do not believe we will be able to “evolve” machines into having a conscious self because in the first place we have to give them that consciousness so, actually they are only conscious of what you tell them. So, if you tell them 2+2=5 then to them, that is the answer. But in reality it is 4, but do they know any different? The whole way to go about this is in an adverse way and giving them their own room to evolve naturally and adapt."

SanDisk Comes With Enriched Data Storage SSDs For Sub-laptops – Gizmo Watch

SanDisk Comes With Enriched Data Storage SSDs For Sub-laptops – Gizmo Watch: “We are familiar with sub-laptops and their advantages. Here is some good news for the users of sub-laptops. They will now get enriched data storage solid-state drives (SSDs). SanDisk Corp., the noted flash memory-based data storage cards maker, has launched its enriched storage-capacity SSDs for notebooks. The data storage capacity of these SSDs varies from 4GB to 16GB. It is compatible with both Linux and Microsoft Windows XP OS. Built in line with SanDisk’s Multi-Level Cell (MLC) and Single-Level Cell (SLC) flash memory, the SSDs provide a tremendous read speed of 39Mbytes/s and a streaming write performance of 17Mbytes/s. One of the greatest advantages of these SanDisk pSSD (Parallel ATA Solid State Drive) is that they don’t require a hard disk drive, but can store both the operating system and application data for the netbooks. SanDisk is likely to launch the drives in August.

UK Researchers Develop Self-replicating Robot – Gizmo Watch

UK Researchers Develop Self-replicating Robot – Gizmo Watch: “researchers have developed a unique robot that can replicate its own parts and create 3D plastic objects. Known as RepRap, this wonderful machine is the brainchild of Dr. Adrian Bowyer from the University of Bath. RepRap works like a printer. However, it does not squirt ink on to paper. It uses additive fabrication technology to print thin layers of molten plastic, which then solidify to make three-dimensional objects like door handles, sandals and coat hooks. The robot can also create its own 3D-printed parts.”
