TechNews - Reversible USB Type-C connector - tech|
| (hx) 09:08 PM CEST - Aug,16 2014 |
- Reversible USB Type-C connector finally ready for production -
A
newly designed USB port and cable is about to make its way to
upcoming PCs, Laptops and mobile devices. The USB 3.0 Promoter Group
today announced the completion of the USB Type-C spec which will allow
new devices to have far slimmer USB cables and connectors. The
connector will also support SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps (USB 3.1) and USB
Power Delivery up to 100W.
- Microsoft pulls security patch after reports of BSOD and
system crashes - According to Microsoft's support website, the
security update had various issues and it could cause Windows not to
boot in some cases; the company has stopped distributing the update
through Windows Update as well as its website.
The kernel-mode security update KB2982791 has a total of three known
issues according to Microsoft's security bulletin which includes the
locking down of the fonts folder in Windows, incorrect rendering of
system fonts on Windows 8, 8.1, 8.1 RT and Server 2012 R2 with August
update and system crashes which have been reported by users.
Microsoft has provided the steps to remove the update from the computer
over at their
support website and affected users should follow them if they are
unable to boot to Windows successfully. The company has also provided
the steps to gain access to the fonts folder which will be left locked
even after removing the update manually.
- Millions of PCs Affected by Mysterious Computrace Backdoor - Nearly
every PC has an anti-theft product called Computrace
embedded in its BIOS PCI Optional ROM or its unified extensible
firmware interface (UEFI). Computrace is a legitimate, trusted
application developed by Absolute Software. However, it often runs
without user-consent, persistently activates itself at system boot, and
can be exploited to perform various attacks and to take complete
control of an affected machine
- Microsoft Debuts Entry-Level Nokia 130 Handset - Microsoft
today announced the Nokia 130, a simple, inexpensive handset meant

the Series 30 platform and includes a 1.8-inch screen, stereo headphone
jack, Bluetooth 3.0, and support for memory cards up to 32GB. According
to Microsoft, the Nokia 130 supports both video and audio playback, and
includes an FM radio. The phone has a flashlight, but no camera. The
Nokia 130 will reach select markets this quarter. Pricing is expected
to be about $25 and it will be sold in single- and dual-SIM variants.

- Nascar driver Tony Stewart hits and kills racer in sprint-car
race - A
driver has died after being struck by a NASCAR star's car following
a collision on a race track in New York state. Veteran NASCAR driver
Tony Stewart hit young racer Kevin Ward Jr, who was walking on the
track after they collided on the previous lap. Ontario County Sheriff
Philip Povero said his department's investigation is not criminal and
that Stewart was 'fully co-operative' and appeared 'very upset' by what
had happened. A video of the incident posted on YouTube shows
20-year-old Ward, wearing a black helmet and firesuit on the dimly lit
track, leave his vehicle, which had spun into the wall at the side of
the track, apparently to protest with Stewart. Ward is shown pointing
in the direction of Stewart as he completes his next lap, gesticulating
angrily as other racers pass him. The racer then steps into the
oncoming traffic before he is suddenly struck and flung 50ft along the
track. The video showed Ward standing to the right of Stewart's
familiar No 14 car, which seemed to kick out from the rear and hit him.

One can say decades are marked in technological achievements where one achievement is the foundation for the next. The 60s, the transisitor, the 70s the mainframe, the 80s the PC, the 90s networking, the 2000s telecommunications. In the early 2000s, several optical components companies tried to R&D data, address, and control signals on bi-directional buses - to make an optical interface between chips. Miniturization of leds/lasers onto chip wasn't there yet but the concept could radically change board design and processing efficiency. Today, if chips become optical internally and matched with optical interfaces, you're likly looking at the next tech advancement, then quantum computing. Deus Ex here we come. |

At this point I think it's all about cost but I'm all for Deus Ex tech. I believe NASA is already in the mix and going to test a prototype optical cpu anytime now. |
