Something about Google Weave












Google Wave is the new creation of the holding of Mountain View. this new tool was presented at the annual conference in San Francisco as the revolution of modern communications, it is intended to replace the e-mail and change the way we work.

Created by the same programmers of "Maps", Wave is a hybrid that brings together in one e-mail, instant message, and all existing solutions for video and audio sharing. Using Wave, users can exchange text, images, videos, music and chat, all in real time and can do so in a group. There is also the possibility (as is done with a tape recorder) to rewind the conversation - even after days - and see what was discussed and add new content or make changes to those already published.

Wave is a new tool in the service of those who intend to collaborate online. Chat, email, social networking and other instruments combined in a single interface, so finding synergies between them can develop the unique value of the communicative "waves" unleashed.
Here's the Developer Preview at Google I/O 2009. Enjoy!

New poster for TRON Legacy




Any geek who defines himself as such, understands the world of TRON, the 1982 film by Steven Lisberger, with Jeff Bridges.

TRON is considered the first science fiction film that has as its reference point, the virtual reality
. All the scenes inside the computer were filmed in black and white, colored and once completed. Among the leaders of the film are the beginning of his career, Tim Burton. In the film are also cameos of characters in the game (eg Pac-Man) and Disney (eg Mickey Mouse).

In Tron, the focus of the story is Flynn, scheduler software for video games, in the fight against ENCOM, a powerful information technology company whose director, Dillinger, has passed for its programs in fact created by the young technical which is also an admired champion of videogames. While sitting at the terminal in search of the code, Flynn was observed through an electronic eye on the evil MCP, which - seeing that the efforts are establishing the intruder a danger too great - drives a powerful laser beam that the poor immobilises Flynn , digitizes the piece by piece, and recomposes in the form of energy within the integrated circuits that make up his universe. The human discovers to his great surprise that the programs created by him and his colleagues have created a new race of beings whose existence consists in executing the orders they are given by the program running. In the case of video games, these virtual beings must fight relentlessly, playing there on the challenges proposed by the game itself .....

For the new chapter has been a wait of 28 years .....

Directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, writers of Lost, the film should arrive in cinemas in 2010. 300 million dollar budget.

The soundtrack has been entrusted to Daft Punk, and I do not believe that someone could do better :)

In the new Konami game will be a gameplay slower than Pes 2009, giving more value to the strategies and steps that are essential for scoring. The online game server will be based on the system of PES 6. Will also disappear the Konami ID. Competitions UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League will be present also in the way "becomes a myth" and "Master League".

The Konami has stated that there will be many more stages including the famous Anfield Road. The public will be fully 3D and images circulating on the network you can see a grassy renovated and better than Pes 2009.

EU Invests on Internet Mobile

The EU invests on the Internet mobile, to make it faster. From January next year about 18 million euros of the EU budget is already allocated to research on mobile fourth generation Lte (Long Term Evolution), informs the European Commission. Lte allowing a speed of Internet access via mobile phones up to a hundred times higher than the current third-generation networks.

now, what is LTE, from www.wikipedia.org.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the last step toward the 4th generation of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks. Where the current generation of mobile telecommunication networks are collectively known as 3G, LTE is marketed as and called 4G. Most major mobile carriers in the United States and several worldwide carriers have announced plans to convert their networks to LTE beginning in 2009. LTE is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) which will be introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8. Much of 3GPP Release 8 will focus on adopting 4G mobile communications technology, including an all-IP flat networking architecture.

LTE could allow data transfer rates to and from mobile devices between 15 and 100 times faster than 3G networks.

LTE provides downlink peak rates of at least 100Mbit/s, 50 Mbit/s[1] in the uplink and RAN (Radio Access Network) round-trip times of less than 10 ms. LTE supports flexible carrier bandwidths, from 1.4 MHz up to 20 MHz as well as both FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) and TDD (Time Division Duplex).

The goals for LTE include improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum and reformed spectrum opportunities,[1] and better integration with other open standards. The architecture that will result from this work is called EPS (Evolved Packet System) and comprises E-UTRAN (Evolved UTRAN) on the access side and EPC (Evolved Packet Core) on the core side. EPC is also known as SAE (System Architecture Evolution) and E-UTRAN is also known as LTE.

The main advantages with LTE are high throughput, low latency, plug and play, FDD and TDD in the same platform, improved end-user experience and simple architecture resulting in low operating expenditures. LTE will also support seamless passing to cell towers with older network technology such as GSM, cdmaOne, W-CDMA (UMTS), and CDMA2000.[1]
