Wireless LAN - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices using some wireless distribution method (typically spread-spectrum or OFDM radio), and usually providing a connection through an access point to the wider internet. This gives users the mobility to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network

Wireless network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that is wireless, and is commonly associated with a telecommunications network whose interconnections between nodes are implemented without the use of wires.[1] Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented with some type of remote information transmission system that uses electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, for the carrier and this implementation usually takes place at the physical level or "layer" of the network.

Google Buzz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Google Buzz is a social networking and messaging tool from Google that is integrated into the company's web-based email program, Gmail.[1][2] Users can share links, photos, videos, status messages and comments organized in "conversations" and visible in the user's inbox.[3]
  • Buzz enables users to choose to share publicly with the world or privately to a group of friends each time they post.[4] Picasa, Flickr, Google Reader, YouTube, Blogger, FriendFeed, identi.ca and Twitter are currently integrated. The creation of Buzz was seen by industry analysts as an attempt by Google to compete with social networking websites like Facebook and microblogging services like Twitter.

Multi-core processor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • In computing, a processor is the unit that reads and executes program instructions, which are fixed-length (typically 32 or 64 bit) or variable-length chunks of data. The data in the instruction tells the processor what to do. The instructions are very basic things like reading data from memory or sending data to the user display, but they are processed so rapidly that we experience the results as the smooth operation of a program. Processors were originally developed with only one core. The core is the part of the processor that actually performs the reading and executing of the instruction. Single-core processors can only process one instruction at a time. (To improve efficiency, processors commonly utilize pipelines internally, which allow several instructions to be processed together, however they are still consumed into the pipeline one at a time.) A multi-core processor is composed of two or more independent cores. One can describe it as an integrated circuit which has two or more individual processors (called cores in this sense).[1] Manufacturers typically integrate the cores onto a single integrated circuit die (known as a chip multiprocessor or CMP), or onto multiple dies in a single chip package. A many-core processor is one in which the number of cores is large enough that traditional multi-processor techniques are no longer efficient — this threshold is somewhere in the range of several tens of cores — and probably requires a network on chip.

UN-Connecting the World - Home Page - 0 views

  •  
    "The internet has changed the lives of people around the world. It has never before been easier to acquire various types of information and to reach people around the world by entering social online networks, such as Facebook. However, the infinity of the internet also leads to information overflow. Likewise, the majority of social online networks address private people, oftentimes leaving the opportunities from which the professional world could benefit unused. Thus, modern web tools which filter information and social networks that enable people to easily communicate, network and share knowledge with each other in the professional context are a tremendous help.

Outsourcing the future | ASU News | The State Press | Arizona State University - 0 views

  • But students would be thrown if they received a term paper back that said, “Graded in India.” Unfortunately, this is a developing trend in university classrooms. Professors at various universities around the country outsource workers in India, Singapore and Malaysia to grade students’ papers.
  • “[Outsourcing grading] is occurring in large online classes,” Archambault said. “Universities are increasing online programs for a variety of reasons, including the flexibility to students, and it allows students in remote areas to take classes. But the university also is able to offer larger class sections and save money on overhead costs.”
  • We should not run education like a business. Cutting corners by allowing anonymous individuals to grade students’ papers and relying heavily on online classes is not a recipe for success.

Microsoft Windows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Microsoft Windows is a series of software operating systems and graphical user interfaces produced by Microsoft. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing interest in graphical user interfaces (GUIs).[2] Microsoft Windows came to dominate the world's personal computer market, overtaking Mac OS, which had been introduced in 1984. As of October 2009, Windows had approximately 91% of the market share of the client operating systems for usage on the Internet.[3][4][5] The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 7; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008 R2; the most recent mobile OS version is Windows Phone 7.

Napster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Napster was an online music peer-to-peer file sharing service created by Shawn Fanning while he was attending Northeastern University in Boston. The service operated between June 1999 and July 2001.[1] Its technology allowed people to easily share their MP3 files with other participants, bypassing the established market for such songs and thus leading to massive copyright violations of music and film media as well as other intellectual property. Although the original service was shut down by court order, it paved the way for decentralized peer-to-peer file distribution programs, which have been much harder to control. The service was named Napster after Fanning's hairstyle-based nickname. Napster's brand and logo were purchased after the company closed its doors and continue to be used by a pay service.
