Back in January I wrote about the "inconvenient truth" of trying to : there's not enough juice. My recommendation at the time was Digital Innovations' ChargeDr, a USB dongle that allows tablets and other devices to charge more quickly. It works (quite well, in fact), but it's a $30 solution. If you fancy free workarounds instead, check out . This free utility promises to charge iPhones, iPods, and iPads up to 50 percent faster using your PC's existing USB ports. That's a pretty lofty claim: software that can boost the effective power output of hardware? It sounds almost impossible, but I'm here to tell you: it works.
Google is hoping to make it easier for developers to integrate SMS or voice communications in applications running on the company’s App Engine platform. Working with Twilio, Google has created native Python and Java libraries for working with Twilio APIs. The integration allows developers to start building and adding voice and SMS features to their apps straight away, the company . The integration shows how far the industry has come thanks to cloud-based communication services, according to Twilio. “Five years ago, if you told your IT department you needed to build and scale a communications app in a week, they’d laugh—maybe even quit. Today, we have cloud-powered tools that allow developers and entrepreneurs to do this in a matter of days,” the company .
Since the dawn of personal computers there have been predictions of an all-digital future where paper was little but a distant memory. Decades later, it seems like we’ve made progress toward the “paperless office,” but the Utopian vision is still a long way off. in 2011, conducted a study to find out how things are progressing on the road to our all-digital documents future. The study is based on data gathered from an online survey among 1051 U.S. managers who draft, send or sign contracts and agreements at small, medium and large companies. ?" uncovers some interesting results. Just over half of the respondents, 51 percent, believe that digital workflow makes filing and managing documents easier, and 61 percent say that working digitally cuts costs. Nearly a third even feel that digital workflow gives them an edge and helps them win business.
left before ever-shrinking transistor sizes smack up against limitations imposed by the laws of thermodynamics and quantum physics. That day of reckoning for the computing industry may still be a few years away, but signs of the coming Moorepocalypse are already here. Just ask chip maker AMD. The company's Chief Product Architect John Gustafson believes AMD’s difficulties in transitioning from 28-nanometer chips to 20-nanometer silicon shows we’ve reached the beginning of the end. . "We've been waiting for that transition from 28nm to 20nm to happen and it's taking longer than Moore's Law would have predicted...I'm saying you are seeing the beginning of the end of Moore's law." A processor’s nanometer measurement tells you the size of the smallest transistors on a given chip. if a replacement technology for silicon isn’t found.
The whose prices have also been falling. Here's a list of the deals through the Microsoft Store: Also keep in mind that these are “Microsoft Signature” devices, meaning that they ship without any pre-installed bloatware.
During a recent trip I stayed at a hotel offering free Wi-Fi—always a nice perk. Just one problem: the network was terrible. The connection speed reminded me of my old dial-up modem, but without the consistency. Needless to say, it was impossible for me to get my work done, and that was a problem. Fortunately, I'm a Boy Scout when it comes to tech obstacles: always prepared. When faced with flaky hotel Wi-Fi, I try one or more of these six fixes: If you can't get or stay connected, it might just be a router issue. Call the front desk, tell them you can't get on their network, and ask them to reset the hotel router. Wait 5-10 minutes and then try again to connect. .
