The science of making electronics out of plastic has recently taken a huge leap forward with the creation of the first working computer CPU chip – processor – made entirely from plastic. While it may sound like an un-natural combination electricity and plastic can work and the scientific types at the IMEC nanotechnology centre in Leuven, Belgium have produced a simple demonstration circuit. Plastic chips will drive computing power into every corner of our life, this is the second revolution in computing, where even the cheapest of products can have a computer embedded in it. β★β READ MORE

Paul Baran died at his home in Palo Alto, California. Saturday March 28 2011 of complications from lung cancer. Paul Baran was a co-developer of packet switching, the foundation of the Internet. “Paul wasn’t afraid to go in directions counter to what everyone else thought was the right or only thing to do” Vinton Cerf, a vice president at Google and longtime friend of Baran. Baran was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation in 2008. A year earlier, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio, joining the likes of Thomas Edison. Baran received many accolades late in life for his pioneering work, but he was anxious to widely distribute the credit M★S READ MORE

Amazon’s attempts to transform itself into a digital media company are starting to light up the cloud. Amazons most recent release Amazon MP3 along with it’s CloudDrive Internet storage service are a two punch combination. Beating Google to the Web Based MP3 player must have given them some satisfaction. . Think of it as a web based iTunes with-out the need to sync. So what is brewing in the clouds, will it be a thunderstorm, will the big boys compete for our storage and listening needs. This may well be what cloud computing is really all about. The strange thing is all of these services make our music more accessible by storing it on the other side of the world β★β READ MORE

On April fools day - April 1 – 1976, the 2 Steves, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs created a little nugget called Apple Computer. From the first 500 Apple I’s through to the Macintosh of the mid 80′s, Apple rocked the world of personal computing. Apples first real foot in the door was with business applications. Machines like the Amiga and Atari specialized in gaming, the Apple II was the A in Applications. Visicalc the first ever spreadsheet was released on the Apple IIe. Later on applications like Photoshop, Pagemaker, Logic Audio gave it a distinctly professional market. This application centic nature also led to the education market which would become one of their main stays for many years. This first golden period also saw the release of first Apple II and the Macintosh and even though there were unable to speak to each other – no networking – they were brothers who shared the market until the early 90′s – 1993- when the Apple II was phased out ♡DD READ MORE

There is one massive difference between small and large business, aside from the obvious, size. Large business must have a robust and keen complaints department. Right about now we reckon Groupon is expanding it’s workforce via that very department. Groupon it seems is upsetting the galaxy of coupon fiends, a group of people more than happy to b_tch and moan about being misled or mistreated. Forums like groubal and complaints board have pages filled with Groupon complaints. From frothy mouthed rants about use by dates to credit card fraud. Seems Groupon is upsetting the coupon cutting brigade ♡DD READ MORE
