The computer giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) has officially announced that it will cut 29,000 (up 2,000 people) Global HR – equivalent to 8% of its total number of employees (implemented from now until the end of 2014) as part of efforts to restructure the company, the plan is expected to save HP from 3 to U.S. $ 3.5 billion operating costs. The move stems from the dismal financial situation during the past years, together with growing pressure from Lenovo. “We are implementing the medium-and long-term plan to turn the company HP became a compact, efficient and better for customers, employees and shareholders,” said CEO and chairman HP Meg Whitman. Also in fiscal 2014, HP expects to save $ 3.7 billion, including $ 3.4 billion is due to downsizing and cost U.S. $ 400 million was recorded through closed some offices, the company’s data center.   According to statistics from Gartner, HP is currently the world’s largest computer maker’s with 13.06 million units sold in the second quarter – down about 12 percent from the same period last year, but they are in danger of being surpassed Lenovo in the future. Estimates, Q3 2012 HP will reach U.S. $ 1.7 billion and profits in the future array of research and development of its products continue to get stronger investment.   Source: CnetAnh: Reuters

Note II larger screen but holding medium. Note II design is like a big room S3 and S3 within the same interface but add SNote features as well as equipped with SPEN. Compared with the Note early, obviously Note II nicer and smoother. Preliminary tests, the camera also clearer, the case of low light, high ISO is pushed to remain without vibration. SNote popup and Video Popup can play at the same time shows the power of the processor 4 as well as the machine. Basically Note II is a worthwhile upgrade for anyone who owns Note I and of course those who do not like the screen to Note I and Note II is the same as the screen is too big for a mobile great phone but a mobile device. Note II not just S3 in shape but materials created Note II is similar to S3. The strongest in the four corners of the Note II significantly reduces the volume of air, the distance from the edge of the screen to the edge of the machine decreases also makes us a Note II is more compact but screen size to more. Another factor that makes us a new Note compact than it is the second screen on the Note rate should be higher than the longer but more narrow width. This will help us to hold the camera more comfortable on your hands. Samsung continues to use plastic and a traditional telephone. All what we feel is from the screen and operating system as well as brought about by the power configuration but hardware and materials of Samsung is still the same, still need to be upgraded.     Galleria.loadTheme (‘/ js / Tinhte / Galleria / themes / folio / galleria.folio.min.js’);$ (“# Galleria_1861168683”).

Bill Moggride, the first design to the computer screen connected and can be folded over the keyboard (which today is known as a laptop), died at age 69 after a long fight with the disease cancer. Throughout his life, Moggride pursue objectives should outline the human design, always use the center of the product, he always wanted to change the way people work with a computer clumsy and passive. The result is one of the first laptops were born – Grid Compass, but still heavy weight and large size, but the design can be folded open, it has become a prerequisite for subsequent laptop .   Grid Compass, laptop shell, use the Intel 8086 processor, screen resolution 320×240 is used quite popular in some places such as the U.S. Space Agency (NASA), U.S. Army, and in particular it is equipped on the space shuttle Discovery in 1985. By design so typical and extremely reasonable Grid – company where working Moggride – has been granted a patent related to the Grid Compass, but it was acquired by Tandy Corporation in 1988.   Grid Compass was the most expensive laptop in the world, was first introduced in April 1982, it sold for $ 8150! (Ie U.S. $ 170 million – if the current exchange rate).   A few pictures of the Grid Compass:      Galleria.loadTheme (‘/ js / Tinhte / Galleria / themes / folio / galleria.folio.min.js’); $ (“# Galleria_1208063134”).

In the field of robotics, to actually admit that despite trying many, we are also very difficult to perfectly mimic some functions of a living organism. Besides, the investment costs incurred to research such a robot is also very high. Therefore, many scientists think the other direction, instead of making the robots, their approach towards biobot, ie trying to control living creatures according to their own. And indeed, this approach proved to be very promising when recently, the scientists at the University of North Carolina (North Carolina State University – NCSU) has successfully developed a new technique that allows to use electronic communication to remote control cockroaches is very accurate but very cheap compared to manufacturing robots.Developed by Tahmid Latif, a graduate student at NCSU, and Professor Alper Bozkurt, the new interrupt controller works by attaching a chip SoC (system-on-chip) contains a transmitter and receiver signal Cheap wire available on the market on the back of a simplified (Madagascar species). Small size and lightweight at only 0.7 grams, this chip also contains a microcontroller to monitor the communication between the electrodes implanted under the skin and tissues of cockroaches to avoid the control of destruction of nerve cells them. In addition, the microcontroller is connected to two antennae and a special organ called cerci in the lower abdomen of cockroaches. After attaching all the electronics on the back of cockroaches, all you need to do next is sitting remotely and send wireless commands to the chip, and therefore cockroach control.Underlying principle, the scientists said they took advantage of cerci parts. This is the act of detecting motion in the air to signal the interrupt can know the enemy is approaching. By using a cable with cerci, scientists stimulated this part makes cockroaches frightened and ran away.Nervous system of the cockroach abdominal cerci at the rearMotion problem has been solved, the remaining problem is to control the direction they run. By injecting a small amount of charge on the nerve cells indirectly through one two antennae (connected with parts mounted on the back), the scientists make them think that the beard of his encounter obstructions should be avoided, and so we turn in the opposite direction (if injected into the left beard will turn right and vice versa).To demonstrate, the scientists have returned to one of their experiments, you can watch this very interesting video below. This study was also presented at the conference “Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society” 34 th in the United States. You can download the PDF of the study here.Applications, this research opens a new direction for the use of cyber smart sensors get wedged into areas difficult to penetrate or malicious, such as searching for victims in case of collapse or earthquakes. This method really proved both effective and cheap, just simpler than the method of manufacture / use of traditional robot.It is known that, in a previous work, Prof. Bozkurt has also developed a similar manner to control the moth species using electronic devices implanted under the skin.Please see relevant videos (clips L is left, R is right):Source: NCSU
