Are your kids addicted to technology? Most probably yes

Desi Mind Meld .1 day ago

Saw a documentary once in which they showed how kids in some country were so addicted to technology that they did not have any social life outside. They did not go out to play, did not interact with other kids to make friends, and did not eat their lunch/dinner on time. Most of the time they were either on some gaming console like Xbox, some computer, or some tablet. In one kindergarten, kids had poems about the Internet. And this was the most freaky part, some of them had to go to a rehab where they were not allowed to use any technology or gadgets. Scary.

Research In Motion Loses $147,200,000 in Patent Verdict. All is not well for RIM

Desi Mind Meld .1 day ago

Just got a BBM - All is not well. Research in motion (RIM) may have to shell out a whopping $147.2 Million in patent litigation fine. Unless they can get this verdict overturn, this will surely break RIM's back. RIM is fast loosing its market share to +Android and iPhone. Its stock has fallen by more than 70% in past year. Dark days lie ahead for them.

In the day and age of innovative cool gadgets and of customers with purchasing power, RIM has to work harder to regain the lost ground or at least hold on to what they have by staying relevant. However, after reading interview of Mike Lazaridis, Co-CEO and founder of Research In Motion with PC Magazine at CES 2011, it seems that RIM is not as concerned about the competition. It is also not clear whether RIM's strategy is to stick with its core enterprise, business, and government customer base or expand into larger consumer user base especially in non-US or European markets such as Indian Subcontinent, etc.

RIM's devices are increasingly irrelevant for general consumers and with iOS now providing secure exchange support, enterprises may just adopt non-RIM options as well. In short, RIM is sailing through some troubled waters and a big storm is yet to come.

NASA's Pleiades Supercomputer gets 14% faster

+NASA has improved its flagship Pleiades supercomputer computing power by 14% to 1.24 petaflops or a quadrillion calculations per second.

To put this enormous number into perspective, if everyone in the world did one calculation per second for eight hours a day, it would take about 370 days to complete what this supercomputer can calculate in 60 seconds.
