Intel’s Thunderbolt Technology Doubles Data Transfer Speed

Intel’s Thunderbolt Technology Doubles Data Transfer Speed:

Intel took the stage at the National Association of Broadcasters conference (NAB) this week to show off its Thunderbolt technology, a new I/O protocol capable of transmitting data with up to 20 Gbps throughput.

What´s more, the new interface is capable of these speeds in both directions. In a demonstration at NAB, Engadget reported Thunderbolt was running at 1,200 Mbps. The speed isn’t quite the promised 20 Gbps, but it is faster than anything else out there. USB 3.0 promises to transmit up to 10 Gbps by 2014, up from a current speed of 5 Gbps, All Things D reports

Intel says Thunderbolt currently has about 200 licensees. Among those licensees is PROMISE Technology. The company showcased fast storage solutions using Thunderbolt at NAB this week. Included in its lineup of Thunderbolt products is the Pegasus R4/R6 and Pegasus J2.

“PROMISE is very excited to showcase the Pegasus R4/R6 and the Pegasus J2 on Windows at the NAB Show 2013,” said James Lee, CEO of PROMISE Technology, in a statement.

“The incredible throughput and ease of use of Pegasus are helping creative professionals on both Mac and PC work much more efficiently and there is no better stage than the NAB Show to demonstrate how PROMISE’s storage solutions with Thunderbolt technology can accelerate and simplify even the most demanding digital media workflows.”

Intel supports its licensees, and the demo of PROMISE storage solutions was as much of a showcase for PROMISE as it was for Intel.

“Thunderbolt brings incredible performance, flexibility and simplicity to professionals in the media and entertainment industry,” said Jason Ziller, Intel’s director of Thunderbolt Marketing, in a company statement. “The Pegasus J2 and Pegasus R4/R6 help highlight what is possible for creative professionals, whether they are working on Mac or PC.”

While there are numerous uses for Thunderbolt that take advantage of the speed, one key benefit is the ability to display and transfer 4K video simultaneously, Mashable says. The 4K TV standard, also called UltraHD, is on the marketplace. Adoption of the sets has been slow because the price is still high, but also because there is currently very little content for 4K televisions. Thunderbolt’s ability to send and receive video at speeds exceeding 4K means more options for delivering 4K content will likely become available, including streaming from a computer.

The Thunderbolt protocol was introduced in collaboration between Apple and Intel in early 2011. The standard is available for all current Apple computers with the exception of the Mac Pro tower. To date, adoption of Thunderbolt under the Apple Mac portfolio has reportedly been slow.

Future plans for Thunderbolt, which Intel has codenamed Falcon Ridge, expect to improve adoption of Thunderbolt protocols for devices for both PC and Apple markets. Advanced Thunderbolt hardware under the Falcon Ridge blanket will be available in the next generation of chipsets and in products by the end of the year. Intel expects to see a growing proliferation of these products throughout 2014.

Google DNS VS Open DNS

On 3 December 2009, Google launched its Public DNS service. Google Public DNS is a free Internet name resolution service similar to the free version of OpenDNS. Both Google DNS and OpenDNS are designed to speed up and help secure the Web browsing experience by leveraging a fast worldwide network of DNS servers.

What's the difference between these two services? As of now, OpenDNS is the more established product, having existed for four more years than Google's and offering more options for setup and control. Which one is faster, or more secure, can be debated. The primary and secondary public IP addresses of each differ, obviously:

OpenDNS IP: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Google DNS IP: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Women Uses More Text Messages

Women uses more text messages than men: Survey Study

Women are twice as likely as men to use emoticons in text messages, according to a study by a US university.

The emoticons, which began as happy and sad faces, have developed into dozens of other expressions, and have become hugely popular in text messages and email.

The study by Rice University used Smart phone data from men and women over six months and analyzed 124,000 text messages, the Daily Mail reported.

Texting has become one of the most popular forms of communication. In 2012 alone, it is estimated that eight trillion text messages will be sent out across the world.

In the Rice University study, all of the participants used emoticons, but they did not use them very often. Only four percent sent all of their text messages containing one or more emoticons.

The study confirmed previous research that women are more emotionally expressive in non-verbal communication.

The authors also found that while women may use emoticons more than men, the men used a larger variety of emoticons to express themselves.Participants in the Rice study texted a wide variety of emoticons, the Daily Mail said.

A total of 74 different emoticons were used, but the top three emoticons - happy, sad and very happy - made up 70 percent of the total emoticons sent by the participants.

10 Reasons Why It is Awesome to have a Bong Boyfriend

Bengalis aka Bongs are prominent for many things, so much that we sometimes wonder what would we be without them, especially the men. While, most of my Bong female friends aren’t much interested in a Bengali boyfriend/groom for themselves, here I’ll tell you why it is just awesome to have a bong boyfriend -

1. He’s got your back in his own unique ways

He isn’t muscular like the Punjabi munda next door nor canny like the others but packed with all the righteousness in between, you will always feel safe in his company. No wonder, he’s always got your back in his own distinctive style making you go “Awww..” each time.

2. He’s liberal, modern and worldly wise

Plan your trip to an unknown location and he might actually tell you the culture, tradition, and history of the place. Oh yea, he is that cosmopolitan – familiar with at least one foreign language.

3. He has a doting mom which comes as a double bonus

You will never feel the guilt of neglecting your beau once in a while as he has the best mom who dotes her kid so much.

4. He will sing for you

He will sing for you and that too in a perfect tune – Whether it is “All Shook Up” of Elvis Presley, or “Tum Ho….” from the Ranbir starrer Rockstar. But, chances are when he sings a Hindi song he might forget the lyrics.

Myth Debunked - Even if he is a die-hard fan of Hollywood movies he secretly likes Bollywood films and music too. Also don’t be surprise to see  instruments such as guitar, tanpura, tabla, violin at his home which he played back in school days.

5. He’s opinionated and there starts the fun

Since he has an opinion on almost everything, you will love having a healthy debate with him on anything and everything.

6. He’s lazy which actually makes your life easy

Being lazy himself, he will never be behind your back to complete or finish any work that he had given to you – no matter how big or small it was. So, life is at ease in his company.

7. He’s a Foodie and always up for food

Oh that doesn’t mean you’ll have to stay glued to the kitchen while he watches his football match but it does mean indulging in a gourmet affair or haute cuisine every now and then. Don’t be surprise if he takes you on a holiday to Darjeeling only to indulge in those authentic Momos and Thupkas.

8. The “Dada” factor

Even the hottest girl of his college/office calls him “dada” – doesn’t that make you lucky when compared to other girls who waste half of their time in dealing with their archetypal girlfriend insecurities.

9. He is delightful and entertaining

There is a general misconception that Bong guys are all about books, theatre and football only. Perhaps, they have never seen him after he gets drunk. While many others might be a menace after getting heavily drunk, he is only funny and entertaining.  Besides, he might be terrible while dancing with you at a disc or in a party, but nothing can beat his bisorjon or dhunuchi dance. He simply rocks there.

10. He loves non-violence

Your Bong Boyfriend will never beat up your brother, but will logically explain you how and why he is right. Gentle and inoffensive, he will stand by you always in the matters of love – just make sure you pronounce the right name of that veteran German novelists name.

Lastly, he is as sweet as mishti doi just like his daaknaam, fiery as a chilly (just try telling him that Tamilians/UPite are clever than Bengalis) but mostly easy going and fun loving smart guy who knows how to bring a big smile on your face with those random surprises .
