Pilot Use iPad for Flight

iPad replace paper flight data charts in order to save millions dollar of  American Airlines flight. Data charts are usually available in printed paper form. But the pilots no longer need to store lots of data of paper weighing up to 16 pounds, because they will soon use the iPad.

American Airlines was running a test program that contains the application iPad aviation charts. Without paper, this airline will be able to save the cost of millions of dollars.
The first iPads testing will be conducted on a flight between Los Angeles and Tokyo and Shanghai. This method has previously been applied to Alaska Air in May.
U.S. aviation administration institutions previously called the iPad as a single class of electronic devices that can be used in aviation pilots. They also have approved the use iPad tablet.
This is contrary to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which said the existence of any portable electronic device can endanger the flight.

Raspberry Pi, The cheap computer for kids only $25

Raspberry Pi, the cheap computer for kids  that have long awaited is finally soon enter the production stage and marketed immediately. This computer has a mission to inspire children to be technology literate.

Computer named Raspberry Pi uses a similar Arm processor found in the phone. Additionally, this computer will operate using the operating system (OS) Linux.

Video game veteran David Braben claimed to have an idea to make Raspberry Pi is currently thinking about how to inspire young people to begin his career in the tech world.

Computer Raspberry Pi test version is already selsesai and was checking stage. For mass production will be conducted in January 2012. "If a satisfactory test version, we will make this computer a large scale in more than one factory," he said.

The computer Raspberry Pi itself will be made ​​two versions, namely model A for U.S. $ 25  with no network connector and Model B for U.S. $ 35  which have an Ethernet socket as quoted by the BBC.

Hackers Steal Apple, Microsoft and U.S. Government Data in stratfor website

Anonymous Hacker group again make a trouble. This time the group claims to have successfully hacked the Stratfor website, the company that has clients such as Apple, Microsoft and a number of important institutions of  the United States government.

Stratfor itself is one company that offers consulting services about the tactical and strategic intelligence, security analyst at a company, and demographic politics in some countries.

It is said that companies from the United States that have very few clients are kept confidential as the U.S. Defense Department, U.S. Army, Air Force, law enforcement agencies, security contractors, and leading technology companies like Apple and Microsoft.

Quoted from AFP on Monday (12.26.2011), Anonymous hacker group claimed to have managed to get thousands of critical data owned by companies that use the services of Stratfor, including Apple and Microsoft.

It was also proved by trying to expose some evidence like a screenshot of the data, as well as special links Stratfor refer to the actual client is strictly confidential.

Ironically, a group of hackers who stuck out his name in the scandal sites 'whistleblower' WikiLeaks says that Stratfor does not encrypt data on its users, allowing you to easily read.

Claremont, Processor with Super Power Save

Intel introduces some future computing concepts in day-to-3 Intel Developer Forum 2011 at the Moscone Center West, San Francisco (15 / 9). One of them is Claremont.

The presence of two days ago Claremont enough to invite attention, mainly because of the power saving capability.

As demonstrated two days ago, the Near-Threshold Voltage Processor is able to work only with the supply of power from solar cells the size of a postage stamp. A new circuit developed Intel Labs allows transistors to work at the turn-on voltage (threshold).

But this is not thought to slow the processor works. In the light workload conditions, power consumption is decreased up to 10 milliwatt, but their performance improved immediately when needed. In a guided demo that Justin Rattner (Intel CTO), the processor code-named Claremont is able to run the game Quake with Windows OS.

As disclosed Intel CEO Paul Otellini, Claremont yet to be realized. But it is quite possible if the Intel integrated circuits near-threshold voltage in the range of its products later. In addition to pressing the power consumption five times lower, the ability of this kind can support the always-on features on a variety of computing devices.

On the memory, power efficiency is done by Hybrid Memory Cube. Configuration memory chips stacked up to form a cube and use the interface is very efficient so as to save power up to 7-fold, without interrupting the data transfer process. Collaboration between Intel and Micron will be very beneficial to the server cloud, ultrabook, television, tablets, and smartphones.
