Data Transfer Through Laser Faster

The researchers recorded a new record for data transfer using a laser with a speed of 26 terabits per second. With speed like that, all library collections of the U.S. Congress can be transmitted by fiber optics in 10 seconds.

The way used is the so-called fast Fourier transform (fast Fourier transform) to record more than 300 different colors of light in lasesr rays, each carrying its own information.

Various efforts to improve the speed of data transfer is increased in recent years by using light-based communication technologies. Previous technology using optical fiber as the Wiggles record data by using one color of light that transmit optical fiber.

The new approach was then performed using a number of other ways to increase the speed of data transmission. A number of measures that included what is called the use of orthogonal frequency (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing).

This method uses a number of different data with different light colors, and everything is sent via optical fiber simultaneously. The recipient uses a laser device to capture this light signal.

Wolfgang Freude, researcher with the transfer of data from the Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany, said the trials with higher speed as well they have done. "Experiments with 100 terabits per second has been done," said Freude told the BBC.

"The problem is sending this data requires not only a laser but the laser 370, and it was very expensive. So you can imagine, requires some 370 kilowatt laser power," he added. For that reason, Profeser Freude and colleagues studied how to send data by using only one laser.

Last year, Professor Freude shows the steps to transfer data at 10 terabits per second. Freude recognize how that is done today is more complicated but he believes this step can be used as demand for faster transmission of data triggers a variety of innovations.

Google Advisor, Financial Advisor Tool from Google

Google launched a new tool to find and compare financial products called Google Advisor.

Google Advisor is intended as a financial comparison tool, helping users to measure the number of mortgages, credit cards, savings accounts and others, by providing a list of appropriate financial instruments. Similarly, as quoted by Mashable, Friday (20/05/2011).

For mortgages, Google provides data such as monthly payment, payment and contact address. For credit card, Google Advisor also provides a data type of card, rewards, annual payments, and others.

Google Advisor itself also is not a search engine, but a comparison engine that has a lot of filters.

Google has long wanted to enter the field of financial sector. For example, in March last, Google bought the site from the UK BeatThatQuote price comparison for USD61, 5 million. Because of that, many say that Google's similar to BeatThatQuote Advisor.

Analysts predict that this service was the beginning of a series of Google tools for the financial sector.

The project is interesting not only because of the size and scale of the largest, but also in advanced technologies applied in this project Wind Farm.

3. Offshore Wind superhighway

Google's total investment in this project are unknown, but estimated at least more millions of U.S. dollars. The project is still associated with the utilization of wind energy, but was off the coast. The possibility of clean energy produced in this project is 6,000 MW which is equivalent to 60% of total wind energy is used in the U.S.. The project will be able to serve at least 1.9 million households.

4. NextEra Wind Energy Resources Project

In May of 2010 ago Google officially has spent 38.8 million dollars in the project NextEra Energy. Energy sources are still the same, namely the wind and is expected to generate 169.5 MW of energy and can illuminate at least 55,000 households. Project site is located in a wind-rich areas in North Dakota. This effort is the next project from Google in the reduction of fossil energy.

Google has agreed a deal to purchase renewable energy generated from wind sources by NextEra Energy. The amount of renewable energy are also produced by this wind is 114 MW. With a very long contract agreement Google helps companies wind energy producer in terms of development and finance to develop renewable energy. The agreement is then updated again, that in July 2010, Google re-buy 100.8 megawatts of clean energy from NextEra Energy produced by other wind energy projects by NextEra Energy. The location of this new project in Oklahoma

6. Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy somewhat less well known compared with wind energy projects have been the focus of Google. However, Google does not hesitate to invest 10 million U.S. dollars more for a geothermal project in October 2010 that then. In such investment is 481,500 U.S. dollars grant for Southern Methodist University to see the potential of geothermal energy in the vicinity of West Virginia. And in fact the money was paid for in West Virginia there are a lot of potential for geothermal.

In West Virginia alone there are currently coal power plants that generate energy for 16,350 MW. However, if the area of ​​geothermal energy was recovered by 2%, will be able to produce clean energy for 18,890 MW.

7. Germany Solar Power Plant

Besides the U.S., Google is also investing in Germany with 3.5 million euros spent to build a solar energy project that will generate electrical energy at least 18.7 MW. The project is located near the city of Berlin and was recorded as the largest solar energy projects in Germany and will be able to illuminate at least 5,000 households.

Microsoft Buy Skype 7 Billion U.S. Dollars ?

Step further, Microsoft officially became the owner of the Internet telephone company Skype Technologies. The plan, Microsoft will announce an agreement to buy it on Tuesday (05/10/2011) this.

Nokia Will Buy Microsoft ?

News about the possibility of division bought mobile / cell phone Nokia by Microsoft to spread on the internet since last few days. Eldar Murtazin, a blogger who had berkasus with Nokia, re-create sensational news because, according to sources in which he gained Nokia, Nokia will soon be bought by Microsoft in the coming days.

Murtazin reports Nokia will begin negotiations to sell their phone unit to Microsoft in this week. Murtazin said the two companies want to close the deal by the end of 2011 and they are in haste to quickly finalize the deal.

The news of this spread quickly Murtazin. Businessinsider.com Murtazin questioned this claim as Nokia and Microsoft recently agreed on using the Windows Phone for the latest Nokia smartphones. Moreover, the agreement only a few months. In addition, Nokia mobile phone division is the largest revenue contributor to Nokia for this. Nearly 66 percent of revenue derived from Nokia this division so that if the division is sold, Nokia will provide for losses.

But this news can not be left just as famous for its accuracy Murtazin news they provide, including when he said that there are Symbian ^ 3 on the Nokia N8 almost the same with Symbian series before.

Bgr.com reported as he obtained from Murtazin that negotiations will begin next week and results will not directly observable by the public. If both companies agree, this will be completed by the end of 2011.

Actually, if this news is true it is not surprising since Nokia was founded in the 1800s as a paper company and moved the core business several times before developing the first mobile phone that changes direction with their mobile phone division would sell in line with the legacy of this company.

This news immediately responded by Nokia spokesman, Mark Squires by tweet on Twitter and say, "We typically do not comment on rumors. But We have to say That Eldar's rumors are obviously getting less accurate with every passing moment."

Rumors are dihemburkan Murtazin may be just a rumor because Nokia market value of not less than 32 billion U.S. dollars, a very large number of course. However, there is always a good reason to support the truth of this rumor. Moreover, Nokia is the former CEO of Microsoft.

As is well known, Microsoft has a Windows Phone as a mobile phone operating system and is already quite long. Yet somehow this operating system does not seem to get reception in the market. Eldar Murtazin himself said that Microsoft's operating system is already failing.

Microsoft is also working with several vendors such as HTC cell phone but license revenue earned from such cooperation is very small, perhaps only 15 U.S. dollars per phone. Revenue amounted to was too small to enterprise class Microosoft. Now, if Microsoft can buy Nokia and integrating software with hardware as well as that conducted by Apple Inc. of course, Microsoft will gain quite a bit of revenue from this business. This is what may encourage Microsoft to buy a Nokia, do not just enough to give WP a license to use Nokia. By having all of them (Nokia) Microaoft could expect increased sales and profits of course.

Looking at the track record Murtazin because once berkasus with Nokia, this could be considered offensive to many times from Murtazin against Nokia. However, many people who believe in the information provided by Murtazin so the news will be bought Nokia by Microsoft could be a truth in some time to come.
