160Mbps is a peak theoretical number of course, but still, it should be significantly faster that any consumer connection when it comes out. At the moment, only Mineapolis and St-paul residents can benefit from a 50 Mbps offer that could eventually reach 160Mbps. It doesn’t come for cheap ($150 per month), but I guess that there is a good niche of customers who would sign up.

It always bugs me to see that we’re in @#$^ Silicon Valley and that I am stuck with a 6Mbps DSL connection and a 16Mbps cable one.

Plasma screens coming to your cellphone very soon

Written by admin on Saturday, April 5th, 2008 in Gadgets and Devices.

AT&T’s new mobile TV service won’t just get new phones on the next update to its handset lineup, but possibly new Panasonic cellphones with low-voltage plasma technology under the hood as well. Details about this move were revealed by the consumer electronics product maker in a recent press conference, where it announced a few revamps to their telecom and HDTV divisions.

Mark Balsama, a Group Manager of the Communications Systems Division, says that these new cellphone plasma displays will “rival OLED displays for brightness, contrast and thinness, and can be manufactured for much less money.” For much less money, eh?

Next big thing: floating wind turbines at sea

Written by admin on Saturday, April 5th, 2008 in Gadgets and Devices.

Several companies are hard at work trying to solve this problem: high winds exist out at sea where building wind turbines is most difficult.  The apparent solution?  Floating wind farms.

By building these units on shore then towing them out into position, the hope is less resistance from wealthy land owners concerned about their views and more energy derived from nature.  These floating wind farms are anchored into position by chains to steel anchors on the ocean floor.

Another benefit to harnessing the wind far from land is engineers can go back to the more efficient but more noisy 2 blade propeller.  The 2 blade lost out to the 3 blade years ago and is now poised to make a comeback.  I know you’ve all been closet 2 blade fans.  Ha, fans.  OK, sorry.
