New batteries based on an entirely new type of nanomaterial are claimed to charge more than 40 times faster than today’s lithium-ion batteries.
The high-power rechargeable lithium (Li)-ion batteries developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute would have applications in electric automobiles, as well as laptops, mobile phones and other portable devices.
The new material, dubbed a ‘nanoscoop’ because of its ice cream-cone shape, can cope with extremely high rates of charge and discharge that would cause conventional electrodes to rapidly deteriorate and fail.
It can be charged and discharged at a rate 40 to 60 times faster than conventional battery anodes, while maintaining a comparable energy density.
“Charging my laptop or cell phone in a few minutes, rather than an hour, sounds pretty good to me,” says Professor Nikhil Koratkar. “By using our nanoscoops as the anode architecture for Li-ion rechargeable batteries, this is a very real prospect. PA3451U-1BRS Battery Moreover, this technology could potentially be ramped up to suit the demanding needs of batteries for electric automobiles.”
Batteries for all-electric vehicles must deliver high power densities in addition to high energy densities, Koatkar said. Today, supercapacitors perform power-intensive functions such as starting the vehicle and rapid acceleration,PA3728U-1BAS Battery with conventional batteries delivering high energy density for normal cruise driving and other operations.
Koratkar says the invention of nanoscoops may enable these two separate systems to be combined into a single, more efficient battery unit.
Most batteries in today’s portable electronic devices are deliberately designed to charge very slowly,PA3399U-1BAS Battery in order to protect the battery from stress-induced damage.
The Rensselaer team’s nanoscoop, however, was engineered to withstand the buildup of stress. Made from a carbon nanorod base topped with a thin layer of nanoscale aluminum and a ‘scoop’ of nanoscale silicon, the structures are flexible and able to quickly accept and discharge lithium ions at extremely fast rates without sustaining significant damage.
The nanoscale size of the scoop is also vital since nanostructures are less prone to cracking than bulk materials,PA3534U-1BRS Battery according to Koratkar.
“Due to their nanoscale size, our nanoscoops can soak and release lithium at high rates far more effectively than the macroscale anodes used in today’s Li-ion batteries,” he says.
“This means our nanoscoop may be the solution to a critical problem facing auto companies and other battery manufacturers – how can you increase the power density of a battery while still keeping the energy density high?”

A lot of the critical technology trends that dominated the business world in 2010 will continue to accelerate in 2011 while several new trends will develop enough momentum to become significant.
Based on my conversations with IT leaders and tech vendors and my daily observations of the latest developments in the industry, here are my top five tech trends that businesses should keep a close eye on for the year ahead.
5. The enterprise warms to Apple and Android
In 2010, a surprising number of enterprises embarked on iPhone deployments after an extended period of internal testing and convincing Apple to update iOS to improve security and IT manageability. PA3451U-1BRS Battery This even included a number of companies in the highly-security-conscious financial services industry, which has previously been a BlackBerry stronghold.
The iPhone testing also opened the door for enterprise iPad trials and deployments. That momentum will likely continue in 2011, since BlackBerry — the enterprise smartphone incumbent — has done little to erode the iPhone’s massive usability advantage.
Ironically, the iPhone/iPad breakthrough will also open the door for many enterprises to experiment with Android smartphone and tablet deployments as well, since like the iPhone Android also connects through Exchange ActiveSync and Google has been making similar modifications in security and manageability to please enterprise IT departments. PA3728U-1BAS Battery Plus, Android phones are available at steeper discounts and devices such as the Motorola Droid Pro offer hardware keyboards to accommodate BlackBerry veterans.
4. The shrinking private data center
It would have been easy to add cloud computing to this list, but that term has become such a widely-used cliche that it doesn’t have much meaning. It’s also part of a larger move to resources delivered over the Internet that transcends just one trend and actually touches many different aspects of today’s IT departments.
One of the most direct consequences of the cloud is that IT departments are shrinking their private data centers as they move to purchasing some of their apps through third party companies that deliver them over the Internet (e.g. Salesforce.com).
A couple other factors are also driving data center consolidation and shrinkage. PA3399U-1BAS Battery The distributed server movement of the 1990s is clearly over as companies are buying bigger (but far fewer) server boxes and then using virtualization to divide them into as many logical servers as they need.
The next stage of this trend will come in 2-3 years when some businesses move toward renting server capacity on demand rather than running their own servers at all.
3. IT consumerization marches on
Last year, I had IT consumerization as No. 5 on my list of trends to watch. For 2011, it’s only going to accelerate as more employees choose to use their own tools rather than the ones provided by their companies, and more IT departments support worker-owned devices as a cost-saving mechanism that can reduce or postpone hardware purchases.
The other factor that will impact consumerization in 2011 will be the spread of multi-touch tablets. The growing legions of workers with iPads and Android tablets will want to use these devices for work and many IT departments will make room in their employee policies for these devices using similar guidelines to those for workers who use their personal smartphones to access corporate apps and data.
2. Desktop thinning
I will not predict that 2011 will be the year that thin clients replace a lot of desktop PCs. PA3534U-1BRS Battery That false promise has been proclaimed for over a decade but has only become a reality in a few niche industries and never gained mass acceptance. It’s not going to happen this year either.
However, we are going to begin to see a lot more companies experimenting with desktop virtualization. By taking the company’s standard software image (the default OS configuration and all of the company apps) and putting them on a virtual machine, the IT department can enable a new level of flexibility that appeals to both IT administrators and workers. The virtualized desktop is hosted on a server and can be accessed from a company PC (even an old underpowered one), a worker’s personal PC, a thin client device, and even some tablets and smartphones. While the end user controls the access device, IT has complete control over the software and settings in the virtual machine. With the rise of IT consumerization, the appeal should be obvious here.
We could also see a surprising number of companies run large-scale experiments with Google Chrome OS systems, which are little more than bootable Web browsers. The number of enterprises that are already considering this and starting to test it might surprise you. We’re talking about big names like American Airlines, Kraft Foods, and Virgin Airlines. Google’s partnership with Citrix and the fact that it is strongly considering an enterprise version of Chrome OS are indicators that the company sees a lot of potential for this product in the business market.
1. Business units absorb more IT
The biggest trend of 2011 will be the continued decline of the traditional centralized IT department. More companies will continue to align their IT professionals with individual business units rather than in a central services group. The demand for corporate-savvy IT professionals who can serve as business analysts and project managers will continue to grow.
Meanwhile, many of the technical roles in IT — from server administrators to help desk technicians to network engineers to software developers — will get outsourced to companies that specialize in those areas. Keep in mind, that “outsource” in this context doesn’t necessarily mean “off-shoring” to another country. In many cases, local companies or at least local branches of larger companies will be the beneficiaries of this shift in IT labor. It’s simply a matter of companies sticking to their core competencies, and for most companies IT is not a core competency. This is especially true in small and medium organizations, but plenty of big companies are thinking along the same lines.
In return for giving up some control, these organizations will get 24/7/365 service and a fleet of IT professionals with more specialized skills at their disposal. This doesn’t mean that there will be a net loss of IT jobs in the market, but many of the jobs will shift from individual companies to service providers that work for lots of different companies. Again, the exception to the rule will be business analysts and project managers who will be able to bridge the gap between IT expertise and practical business solutions.

In Time’s Person of the Year 2010 article on Mark Zuckerberg, one fact shouts out to me above all others: 1 in 4 Web pages in the United States is now viewed behind the walls of Facebook.
I enjoy Facebook and would be happy spending a quarter of my Web life there, if I could leave Facebook for the other 75%. But even if I log out completely, most of the Web’s most popular sites are tied to Facebook, through Share or Like or Connect buttons. Facebook is not just another Web site: it is a service that “Facebookizes” every Web site it touches, making me bring all of my friends with me, like luggage. It’s disconcerting being on a Web site that I’m used to browsing anonymously, and seeing my friends’ faces there. And so I have a holiday wish: Facebook, let me dance if I want to, let me leave my friends behind.
For the last twenty years, we’ve enjoyed One Web that is united through the common policy of letting us be whoever we want to be, wherever we go. One Web allows us at times to be cooler than we are in real life, aspirational, anonymous, and/or fanatical about a particular subject. And that is why the Web is wonderful.
Over the last five years, Facebook added a new hat to the One Web haberdashery, by giving us the ability to be a person who is a friend online with the people we have known in real life (as well as people we’ve never met). In 2010 Facebook added Instant Personalization, with the explicit goal of letting us be our Facebook selves everywhere. But in so doing, we have lost the On/Off button: I love being my Facebook self some places, but how do I turn it off on-the-fly?
This presents an opportunity for Facebook to give back to the Web: please let us take off our Facebook hats whenever we want by replacing the Connect button with an On/Off button that lets us see clearly whether we are being Facebookized on any given page of the Web.

One Web is as old as the Web itself: The 1993 New Yorker joke was that on the Internet no one knows you’re a dog. But now you can’t go anywhere without people knowing your pedigree, where you went to obedience school, and the status of your latest puppy love.
What’s wrong with that, you ask? Well, I don’t know how you roll… but I personally spend a lot of my time on the Internet doing things that I’m not ashamed of in principle, but don’t want broadcast to my mom, former schoolmates, and coworkers. Mostly I’d just bore them to tears because almost nobody I know gives a rat’s ass about my obsessive love of Logan Couture of the San Jose Sharks, Showtime TV shows like LOOK, or photos of panda babies. But also… I admit that I waste a lot of time on the Web when I “should” be doing other things. If you put together all the time I’ve spent just looking up song lyrics, watching videos of kittens, and studying cupcake recipes—all perfectly innocent and life-affirming activities, I might add—some small-minded people might think badly of me.
So imagine that every time you looked at any Web page, Facebook could tell all your friends what you were looking at in real time. Would you be OK with that? From a technical point of view, Facebook could do it right now. They have the data from a large percentage of the top websites; they just aren’t exposing it yet. When we talk about the benefits of anonymity, for the average person it amounts to their boss not knowing how much time they’re spending on fantasy football or shoe shopping at work. (Vibram Five Fingers for the win!)
In Facebook’s march to a billion users by 2012, Facebook seems to be everywhere we Web users want to be. Someday soon more than half our Web page views could be on the Facebook-Enhanced Web (FEW) instead of the rest of the World-Wide Web (WWW) that Tim Berners-Lee gave to the world so we could roam it freely like pandas in the bamboo forest.
Remember, the WWW consists of millions of websites, of which Facebook is now the world’s third biggest by unique users. However, if we measure by Web page views, Facebook is bigger than the next 99 websites combined, so the FEW is already huge.
We the Web users have chosen the FEW over the WWW for what seem like good reasons: Facebook promises us a spam-free, porn-free, crime-free world where we can do everything with people we know in real life. Who wouldn’t want that?
Proponents of a stable Web, for one. Facebook has spread its seed all over the Web now—with Facebook Connect and Share and Like buttons everywhere—so much that when Facebook goes down, the Web goes down. Facebook has bequeathed the WWW a single point of failure.
Note that Facebook did this without being closed: they have APIs, and buttons, and export mechanisms. They’re not closed; they’ve just redefined open. I’ve made my peace with the idea that Facebook will be the biggest service on The Open Internet; what we all should want to avoid is a future where Facebook is the Web. That would be as lame as spending eternity in a 1971 Ford Pinto with all of your friends.
Reliability issues aside, there’s a deeper principle at stake here. Facebook has divided the Web into two: the Web with Facebook (your friends), and the Web without Facebook (people cooler than your friends). Our friends are who we are interested in, but they are not what we are interested in.
All the time we spend looking at repetitive posts and photos from people we already know, could be spent instead on the Web meeting new people who are interested in the same things we are. In other words, making cooler friends. Ambient Findability, as I like to call it, means that what (and who!) we find changes who (and what!) we become. Enabling that is what has always made the Web great.
So, in the spirit of One Web and Ambient Findability, I’m asking Facebook on behalf of all Web citizens to give us the benefits of being able to just look at things online without being tracked by you. Give us the option to treat Facebook like every other part of the Web, whenever we want, and I assure you it will benefit us all.
Give us an easy one-click way to truly and totally disconnect from Facebook Connect whenever we want. I’ll still spend just as much time on Facebook, I promise! But now I won’t have to see my friends’ faces every time I look up a restaurant review on Yelp, read the news on the New York Times, or wait for external modules to load on TechCrunch. It’s just an option, and an option confers value… I’m sure the vast majority of users love Facebook Connect and will continue to use it. But having the option to return the rest of One Web to its pre-Facebook status—useful but not fundamentally social—would be the best gift that Zuck could give back to the Web.

Over the last half decade, Apple has radically changed what $299 can buy, with major advancements in the processor power, efficiency, connectivity, size, weight and quality of its iPod music player.
Five years ago, PABAS115 Battery Apple had just released the 5th generation iPod, the first capable of playing full motion video. It was offered in 30 and 60GB versions, costing $299 and $399.
The 30GB model boasted 14 hours of audio playback or 2 hours of video. Apple had just lined up the ability to buy TV shows in iTunes, PA3534U-1BRS Battery starting with one broadcast partner: Disney. Episodes cost $2 and delivered half-VGA resolution of 320×240, which filled the iPod’s 2.5″ screen. Apple had also recently added support for Podcasts within iTunes.
Fast forward to today, and Apple’s latest media player offering is the iPod touch. It similarly comes in 32 and 64GB versions at the same $299 and $399 prices. The difference is that these devices aren’t slow hard drives; they’re full screen computers with fast flash memory. There’s also an 8GB version for $229.
The 32GB model delivers 40 hours of audio playback, or 7 hours of video. Apple’s iTunes now offers full movies and rentals at VGA resolution of 640×480.
The iPod touch screen is not only larger, at 3.5 inches, PABAS067 Battery but now delivers a Retina Display resolution of 960×640. It’s also a capacitance touch screen that can be used to navigate the interface directly, rather than using a touch-wheel controller.
iPod is the computer
Originally conceived as a pod that could take music to go, Apple’s iPod is now a full featured computer itself. It runs a scaled down version of Mac OS X named iOS, offering not just media playback but also email, web browsing, and the ability to run custom apps.
iTunes has transformed from a music store with some videos for sale into being the world’s most popular way to buy music and movies, as well as the world’s largest and most popular mobile apps market. There are over 300,000 apps available for the iPod touch, ranging from games to art tools to GPS to productivity apps.
The iPod touch isn’t just more powerful, it’s also smaller. Five years ago, the iPod was .43 to .55 inches thick and weighed 4.8 to 5.5 ounces. Today’s iPod touch is roughly the same size, but only .28 inches thick and weighs just 3.56 ounces.
There’s a lot more inside however. And a lot less; there’s no mechanical hard drive to wear out, for example. The iPod touch can record voice memos via a mic-integrated set of headphones or its built in mic. It also has a 720p HD video camera that takes good point-and-shoot photos. It supports Apple’s new FaceTime video conferencing, with both front facing VGA and rear camera support, as well as third party VoIP with video apps such as Fring and Skype. It also includes Bluetooth and WiFi wireless networking.
iPod for play and work
As a mobile gaming machine, the latest iPod touch provides six axis motion control with its accelerometer and gyroscope. It offers four times the screen resolution of Sony’s PlayStation Portable and a far better display than Nintendo’s DS. More importunely, the iOS library of games range from free to a few bucks, compared to the relatively expensive mobile games on dedicated players that can really only play games.
In addition to being a mobile games machine capable of causing anguish at Nintendo and Sony, the iPod touch has also turned into a serious business tool. Apple began using the device to replace mobile terminals in its retail stores last year, and other retailers are also building mobile point of sale programs around it.
Corporate, government and military programs have also adopted Apple’s iPod touch, with third parties giving it the capability to do everything from monitoring equipment to editing documents to performing field training and foreign translation. Apple itself has turned the iPod into an enterprise friendly device in partnerships with Microsoft (to deliver secure push messaging for Exchange Server), Unisys (to deliver security apps for business customers) and others, customizing the iOS platform to support corporate proxy servers and VPNs from a variety of vendors.

According to a new report, Apple is also striving to improve the iPad’s screen to reduce smudging and glare.
As rumors persist about a CDMA-ready iPhone being released in the near feature, PABAS115 Battery so begins increased speculation that Apple is also readying a second generation iPad that will be compatible with the 3G network favored by Verizon. DigiTimes is reporting that the iPad 2 will be available in three versions: a Wi-Fi only model, a UMTS model, and a new CDMA version. (Of course, it’s certain that the UMTS and CDMA models will both have Wi-Fi connectivity as well.)
The first and current iPad model only supports wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi and the 3G UMTS network that’s used by AT&T. Both Verizon and Sprint rely on a CDMA network to provide customers with wireless connectivity. PABAS067 Battery Verizon currently sells the iPad bundled with an external MiFi hotspot that allows devices to connect to Verizon’s 3G network indirectly through a Wi-Fi signal.
According to the report, about 60 to 65 percent of shipped iPads are 3G models, PA3534U-1BRS Battery indicating a consumer preference for more broadly available wireless connectivity.
The DigiTimes report also suggests that Apple is making efforts to make the iPad 2′s screen last prone to glare and smudging — both criticisms of the current iPad model — to appeal to heavy readers who may be tempted by Amazon’s Kindle.
If the rumors are true, production should ramp up by late January and the iPad 2 should be released sometime thereafter in early 2011. Earlier this week, DigiTimes reported that Apple’s Chinese manufacturers have been instructed to produce a CDMA compatible version of the iPhone also be released sometime in 2011.

While Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) seems to be rethinking its whole Google TV approach and IBM (NYSE: IBM) is now predicting that we’ll have holographic 3D phone calls by 2015, I’m looking forward to another bang-up year for Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL).

I’ve got a handful of easy predictions, some likely predictions, and a couple wishful-thinking hopes for magical new products from the geniuses locked away on the Apple campus in Cupertino.
These first five are so likely they can’t really be called “predictions”:
1. Two Words: Verizon iPhone
Verizon lovers have been holding candles in hopes of seeing a Verizon-compatible iPhone since the original iPhone was announced nearly four years ago. It very well could be the No. 1 iPhone rumor of all time, but this time I actually believe it, and it has nothing to do with the supposed lapsing of AT&T’s (NYSE: T) exclusive contract.
Here’s why: Android-based phones have been picking up steam, many of them are damn fine phones, and while the version, upgrade paths and manufacturer-added interfaces and features work to fracture the Android experience even while spreading Android to the wind, it’s high time for Apple to compete across more than one cellular service provider. Verizon is the obvious choice, either with an old-school CDMA phone or 4G option.
The question is, when? There’s plenty of hope for the first quarter, but Apple could easily wait for its developer’s conference in June, which would be in line with its yearly announcement schedule.
2. iPad 2 Cometh
Despite the naysayers, Apple’s iPad tablet has been a runaway hit. It seems to be performing better than anyone’s expectations, happily bringing the Apple experience to newcomers while eclipsing pesky little netbooks.
I’ve scratched my head over the iPad several times this year, but the big iOS 4 touchscreen has been growing on me.
What can the next generation promise? A set of dual-sided cameras, of course, to make the units more versatile while offering up another platform for FaceTime video conferencing. Other rumors point toward more robust speakers, a USB slot, and a refined form factor. More storage would be nice, but I doubt Apple will drop the price points.
3. The New Mac App Store Will Be a Raging Success
Just in time to steal some attention from the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show, Apple will launch its new Mac App Store on Jan. 6.
Just like the App Store for iOS devices, the Mac App Store will make it easy for consumers to discover, install, and update applications for their Macs. There are plenty of reasons this will drive new sales and customer satisfaction for Mac owners, the biggest of which is making Mac application discovery easy.
Some developers are uneasy about Apple’s foray into Mac App distribution, citing a fear of Apple control, censorship and the need to take a pesky 30 percent cut of their profits. While developers can offer free apps, they can’t provide demos or trial versions through the Mac App Store. For applications that depend on users getting a taste of what the application can do, this is a big deal.
Fortunately, developers can offer demos or trials from their own websites, and as near as I can tell, a Mac App Store would remain a win even for these sorts of developers: In the store, their application is more likely to be discovered, which is the first step toward buying it. If consumers aren’t aware that it exists, trial versions matter little.
Plus, it’s not clear how Apple is going to handle (or recommend that developers handle) its existing customers. For instance, if I own an application already, do I have to buy it again through the Mac App Store in order to get all the nifty Mac App Store benefits, like easy installation and update notices? Sounds like it. So developers have to navigate some tricky waters around old-school upgrade pricing, managing customer expectations, and finding new distribution routes for new sales.
I’m guessing Apple will recommend that developers lose the old upgrade pricing methods of software sales and instead offer new versions for sale.
Here’s how this might work: There’s no way that Apple is going to sell us iWork ’11 just once and then offer us free updates via the Mac App Store forever. No, Apple will offer iWork ’12, which is sort of an upgrade, but not really. Apple treats it like a new generation of product: There’s no cut-rate upgrade pricing, just the full retail price for the new generation. Kind of sucks. But if this model works, it seems to drive the cost of original acquisition down while pushing the upgrade costs up. For some developers, these issues will force them to rethink how they do business and if they want to work with the Mac App Store at all.
Despite all of these tricky currents Apple will need to work out with its developer partners and community, the Mac App Store will open in 90 countries, and it’ll be a raging success.
4. The Lion Will Roar
Apple has already offered up a sneak peek of Mac OS X Lion, its eighth generation of the Mac operating system. Unlike the previous version, Snow Leopard, Lion will offer up some significant new features for end users, including some new tools and metaphors for working with applications.
On tap is Launchpad, a new home for all of your Mac apps; system-wide support for full-screen apps, which takes a nod from the iOS operating model where a single app takes all of your attention; and Mission Control, which unifies Expose, Dashboard, Spaces and full-screen apps into what Apple is describing as “innovative new view of everything running on your Mac.”
Will all this — and indubitably a few more to-be-revealed gems — be enough to spark widespread Mac users to upgrade? Definitely. Besides, as Snow Leopard and the many iOS predecessor versions have already proven, Apple has done a great job of educating (and maybe training) its customers to upgrade their operating systems.
5. iPhone 5 Will Keep the Form Factor
This summer, we’ll see a new generation of iPhone. Maybe it’ll be called “iPhone 5,” or maybe something new with a new moniker. But will we get a sleek new design? I doubt it.
The design of the iPhone 4 seems to be holding strong. I just had a buddy bet me that his Android phone was thinner than the iPhone 4. When we set them next to each other on the table, you should have seen his face: my iPhone 4 was so noticeably thinner that I didn’t have to say anything at all (his phone was noticeably lighter, though). Either way, it doesn’t matter if other phones become thinner; the dual-glass design of the iPhone 4 can survive another year of use, just like the iPhone 3G and 3GS lasted.
In addition to manufacturing benefits, another generation with the same form factor will no doubt please case and accessory manufacturers, which is also important to the success of the iPhone ecosystem. All of these case manufacturers are also promoting the iPhone when they promote their cases. It’s a nice snowball factor. Will we finally get color? How about the elusive white iPhone 4? Maybe. It would give Apple CEO Steve Jobs a nice opportunity to be ironically humble in front of the world.
As for me, I’m hoping for Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities that will let me wave my iPhone at a retail check stand to make purchases. In addition to making wallet-filled jeans pockets a problem of the past, I won’t have to touch the buttons that hundreds of other customers touched before I got there. No more cold and flu season? Not hardly, but I’m hoping.
Somewhat Likely In 2011
Beyond the obvious, there are several other interesting activities, rumors and opportunities afoot for Apple in the coming year — though they are hardly the kind of things to bet your house on:
6. MacBook Pros Will Get the Wedge
When Jobs introduced the new MacBook Air in October, he mentioned that the new pint-sized laptop represented the future of the Apple notebook line. While he didn’t go into detail, what might this mean?
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are a good place to start. Despite a relatively slow processor in the MacBook Air, the use of super-fast SSDs give the units a snappy feel. In 2011, SSDs might finally arrive at such a price/capacity point in MacBooks that Apple will sell more SSD-based units than old-school spinning platter hard drive units. Along the way, the new MacBook Pro form factor will switch over to svelte MacBook Air wedge.
The pixel density of the 13-incher is the same as the 15-inch MacBook Pro, so it’s not unreasonable to expect even denser screens making their way up the line.
The craziest prediction of all, though: 2011 will be the year that MacBook Pros lose their DVD/CD drives. I’m not sure that Apple will do this, of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised. With Apple’s intense focus on streaming content and buying movies, I’m guessing that we’re far more likely to see the DVD drive disappear altogether before we ever see, for example, a Blu-ray drive.
Oh, and what about a touch-based MacBook that can be either a tablet or a traditional notebook? While I would love to see a magical device like that, I believe it will hinge on iOS-like applications being available for Mac OS X Lion. I’m hoping, but I’m more likely to bet on that one in 2012.
7. 2011 Will Be the Year Content Comes Together
In delivering the iPad, Apple was widely expected to either “save” or revitalize the print publishing industry. Magazines and newspapers, specifically, have been struggling to various degrees with shifts to digital content consumption, no doubt about it. The iPad was supposed to offer radically new kinds of magazines.
The problem is, it’s hard to create jaw-dropping content on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. There need to be tools, ads and payment system. Then there’s the issue with subscribers — magazines, for instance, like to know their subscribers intimately, while Apple’s App Store tends to err on the side of protecting the subscriber data.
Meanwhile, how can a newspaper that’s barely scraping by invest in iPad (or even Android-based) content delivery?
One thing I’m certain of: Apple and media companies around the world are actively trying to figure all of these issues out. Perhaps the biggest one we’ll see in the near future is Rupert Murdoch’s not-so-secret sort-of-secret effort to launch a brand-new iPad-based newspaper. News Corp. (Nasdaq: NWS) has reportedly hired journalists just for this project, possibly dubbed, “The Daily,” which is supposed to be multi-media heavy and, you know, hit your iPad on a daily basis. It might launch as soon as mid January. More importantly, it may usher in the ability for publishers to push a subscription feature so they can deliver one app but collect subscription-based revenue without constantly pestering their subscribers to act.
In addition, I’m hoping that CBS and NBC will join ABC and Fox and start letting consumers rent their shows in HD via Apple TV (and iOS devices). The new 99-cent rental model that Apple introduced in September is simply awesome. Where $1.99 can be too much to swallow for a show you only want to watch once, $.99 is quite friendly. This fall, I rented the entire first season of “Castle,” which caught me up on the series nicely (and I would not have bought each episode for $1.99). Plus, I watched the cult-hit “Firefly” all via renting the episodes. The rental model, by the way, also gives you 48 hours to view the show once you start watching it, and that’s fantastic — 48 hours is much more customer-friendly than the measly 24 hours we get with movie rentals.
I’m hoping that we’ll see more customer-friendly features for consumers willing to pay for content in 2011.
8. MobileMe Will Be Amped Beyond Belief
There’s a convergence of factors all pointing to something great with MobileMe in 2011: Apple has been building a massive new data center in North Carolina, and it’s going to be used to serve up something; the new Apple TV lost its hard drive and is now all about renting and streaming content; iPods, iPads and iPhones can download content directly, and they can also stream content; and Apple bought LaLa.com for a reason, and maybe that reason is to let us store music and content in an Apple “cloud” instead of on our hard drives (think about #6, where MacBook Pros might trade massive hard drives in favor of smaller, faster ones … where will we store our video of the future?).
One day, our iTunes libraries will be stored in Apple’s cloud, and when that happens, our household devices will all more easily share and stream that content. As long as everyone has fast and reliable Internet bandwidth, this is a distinct possibility (despite my personal preference for local storage). Besides, this sort of model may also enable Apple to woo more content providers into allowing Apple to deliver it if they believe Apple can protect their intellectual and copyright property.
9. Apple TV Will Run Apps
The new Apple TV runs a form of iOS, which means Apple has some appy plans for it.
There’s some interface logic to figure out, some methods for sorting out which apps run, and some confusion over how some or all apps might be effective on a big-screen TV. But still, Apple will eventually deliver apps to our HDTVs somehow, sometime and maybe even in 2011. Maybe Apple will outfit a trackpad to work just for the Apple TV.
10. iOS Will Get New Form Factor Devices — a New Size iPad?
We’ve seen some rumors of a possible 7-inch iPad, and while it might be called an iPod rather than iPad, it would offer up some interesting holes to fill.
The first hole is for a larger-than-iPod gaming experience that’s not quite as expensive or intimidating as an iPad — how many parents want to turn their kids loose with an iPad for game playing in, say, the kitchen over a tile floor? A smaller, more hand-friendly alternative could be compelling.
Plus, while iPods and iPhones can already control your Apple TV, might a new form factor iPad become the perfect companion to the living room? Or might it become the perfect companion to your vehicle’s dash — turn-by-turn GPS with a bigger screen, anyone?
All-in-all, while we might not see Apple introduce any truly surprising new hardware products in 2011, the evolution of Apple products — including the software and content consumption models — will be most impressive in 2011. I’m definitely looking forward to it.
MacNewsWorld columnist Chris Maxcer has been writing about the tech industry since the birth of the email newsletter, and he still remembers the clacking Mac keyboards from high school — Apple’s seed-planting strategy at work. While he enjoys elegant gear and sublime tech, there’s something to be said for turning it all off — or most of it — to go outside. To catch him, take a “firstnamelastname” guess at Gmail.com.

We have seen before where they come from the virus and ways you have of getting infected. Even with all the care in the world, always possible that our antivirus we play a trick by failing to recognize a threat.
In cases like that sometimes one must roll up, be patient and try to fix the mess himself. Obviously, the first step to stop a virus is detected and find it. We’ll see how.
Suspected infection
First of all you have to have reasons to know if you have a virus on your computer, especially if you have a virus and has not said anything.
An easily recognizable symptom is the appearance of pop-up ads, And that you loading pages than those who are trying to view. Technically this would not be a virus but adware / malware, but try to simplify these terms equally.
The extremely slow internet browsing can also be a symptom, though not as clear as the previous one and which is caused by other reasons as well. In any case, if you notice that your connection is acting as though you were using more than you actually use, no evil will suspect you.
A Excessive reading hard disk is no reason to suspect otherwise, as some viruses spread by the hard disk looking for files to infect.
Last but not least, if your friends will warn that they’re sending messages e-mail or instant messaging that you never sentIt is certain that you are infected.
Processes
After initial suspicion, you must make sure that something is wrong with your Windows. You have several ways to check. The first is to analyze the active processes.
Since Windows, starting the Task Manager (Control + Alt + Del or right click on the Taskbar) you can see in the tab ProcessesEverything that is currently loaded.
The idea is to look for processes that should not be there. The problem is that most times you will not know whether a Windows process is normal or not, although you can always find more information on specialist sites such as Google or ProcessLibrary.
If you prefer, you have at your disposal an array of applications with which to analyze the processes running. For example Process Explorer, Backed by Microsoft, Security Process Explorer, Which shows visually the reliability of each process or System Explorer, A true all-in-one that will be very useful in the analysis and removal of viruses.
Active Connections
If you have not managed to make it clear none of the above, the active connections on the computer are sometimes a clear indication that some type of malware is active.
For a list of active connections, or who were active not long ago, you have to open a command window (Start / Run / cmd.exe) and type “netstat”. A window like the following.
As was the case with the processes in Task Manager, the main difficulty lies in interpreting the data. For our purpose we must ignore local connections (localhost or machine name) and those that are casued by programs that know.
For example, advertising can be included in the Messenger window or Firefox for updates for your extensions. To minimize the noise is better to close all possible applications before running “netstat”, especially P2P programs.
Some malware can be recognized because they make a lot of connections to try to expand the internet or act as “zombies.”
Windows Boot
Windows automatic startup is one of the stops required for almost all viruses and malware. Check what is starting with Windows is simple. Without any additional tools you can do from the Menu Start / Run / msconfig.
It remains difficult for a novice user to distinguish between normal items which are not. Once again, Google comes to the rescue and ProcessLibrary, Discussed earlier.
Sometimes, however, it is really easy to find the malware and not too well camouflaged to avoid being recognized by antivirus, use self-generated names like aebdfcehu.exe, bueghefa.exe, abdubfgb.exe …
But, as is not always so obvious, there are tons applications designed to analyze Windows startup. For example, Autoruns, Which is really complete, so much that it overwhelmed a bit. System Explorer, Which we have spoken and Startup OptimizerThat shows you visually the usefulness or otherwise of each element are other options at your disposal.
And so far this first part of the series on removing viruses manually. In the next installment will leave aside the diagnosis and we fully turn over the task of removing these pesky tenants of our computers.

It was announced by Google Last week, the new smartphone Nexus. The phone goes to the challenge ‘iPhoneEspecially with regard to the performance / price ratio. Indeed, the cost of production of Nexus has been estimated by the specialist firm iSuppli, of only 120 €: an analysis of expected costs 30.50 dollars for the faster processor processor Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD 8250 1 GHz, $ 41 for the display and management module for Samsung 3.7-inch touchscreen, 12:50 dollars for the built-in 5.0 megapixel camera, 8.20 dollars for the trasmettirore Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Nexus One will be manufactured by the Taiwanese HTC. The performance will certainly be high, but the iPhone wins on the amount of memory: 16 GB integrated, compared with 4Gb card on the smartphone Google. The operating system, is of course Android. Very interesting also the presence of the GPS receiver, which allows the integration in this device all the functions related to satellite navigation, thanks also to Google Maps.
In Europe, the Nexus, will be distributed by Vodafone, as announced by this company, which plans to market the product initially in the UK before moving to the rest of Europe. Finally, rumors about a possible version of this product aimed at companies, one speaks of a Nexus Two, which would have a QWERTY keyboard, perhaps a slide.

The issue of Internet addiction can be taken in jest or earnest. In this case choose the former.
Probably the most widespread addiction prototype is that of a young person is always connected to the messaging programs, several social networks. Always abreast of the latest news that appear on the internet because it has more skill as a tracker to the Google search engine. Usually the key to detecting the addiction is the monkey, in this case anxiety or irritability when no Internet connection available.
Sometimes they think also the typical passion for games, who spends hours and hours in front of the computer. Everyone can keep in mind many profiles of addicted to the Internet but almost never coincide with yourself.
There is a review adictosainternet may reveal indicators of addiction. It’s a bit heavy, it can take half an hour of time, but is serious and is well made.
I encourage you to participate and share the results with us, as I said before in a relaxed atmosphere. I advance that although I spend many hours a day at the computer the test says I’ma very normal:)
