Now the chip maker giant Intel is blessing its customers by offering a minimum spectrum of 30 MHz per operator. Also the word is around that the license for the Wi-Max technology should be allowed to acquire enough spectrum, in order to have a successful business model with a minimal fee. Isn’t great

Wi max can be understood as a networking system that can cover a 30-mile radius with broadband access. For fixed, portable, nomadic computers and mobile, the company seems to be geared up to launch Wi-Fi and Wi-Max enabled chip in mid next year.

Google will soon update its profile by adding video conferencing to its kitty. This will be done with the help of the software from the Swedish firm Marratech.

Unlike other times, where it overshadows the company completely by overtaking it, this time Google seems to be ‘liberal’ as it is eyeing only the software and not the entire group.

As a company, we thrive on casual interactions and spontaneous collaboration,” wrote Douglas Merrill, VP Engineering on the Google blog. “So we’re excited about acquiring Marratech’s video conferencing software, which will enable from-the-desktop participation for Googlers in videoconference meetings wherever there’s an Internet connection.” The software is desktop-based rather than being a hosted service.

This inking of the pact delivers vibes that it will bring Google into close competition with the likes of Cisco’s WebEx, Adobe Connect and Microsoft Livemeeting.

The company said it could have memory-on-processor technology by 2009 for use in servers, supercomputers and other machines.

IBM has discovered a way to connect chips inside products ranging from cell phones to supercomputers. This assures prolong battery life in wireless devices and speedy data transfers between the processor and memory chips in computers.

Through this manufacturing technique, the long metal wires used to transfer information between chips no more exists. As a part of the technique, two chips are sandwiched on top of one another and the distance between them is measured in microns or millionths of a meter, held together by vertical connections that are etched in silicon holes that are filled with metal.

Known as “through-silicon-vias,”, the  vertical connections allow multiple chips to be stacked together with greater information flow between them. Company’s three-dimensional approach creates the possibility of up to 100 times more pathways for information, and shortens by 1,000 times the distance that information on a chip needs to travel.

“This is a big step, this is a really historic move,” said David Lammers, director of WeSRCH.com, a social networking Web site for semiconductor enthusiasts and part of VLSI Research Inc. “This has been studied to death, but it’s the first time a company is saying, ‘We can connect two chips in the vertical direction.”

“We are continuing to innovate _ now we have a new degree of freedom to get more functionality out of chips,” said Lisa Su, vice president for semiconductor R & D at IBM.

Thai Government is going to ban You Tube video because now days mostly peoples are posting insensitive videos on Internet and in this googole is aiding the Thai govt. by providing them technical suggestion.

Now you may think that what is the reason for the banning of You Tube in Thailand then the answer is that last week Thai blocked all You Tube videos after a You Tube Video which showed feet over the Thai’s kind head and grffiti scrawled on his face was posted on Internet.
