HDD Sales Will Increase This Year, Despite Prices | Technology news

Even if the HDD market is expected to have more problems this year, with rising prices and all, IDC estimates that the opposite will occur.
Not that those responsible for these storage devices will not go through difficult times, of course, but analysts still believe in the general level of navigation for the year will increase.
The percentage is estimated at 7.7%, although this is true, it will not be due to the interest of consumers as it will be for both the natural disasters of 2011.
The earthquake in Japan (March 2011) and floods in Thailand (fourth quarter), shipments fell 4.5% last year.
As such, even if prices are high across the hard disk (and will remain so even after the fall in April), analysts are optimistic from that perspective.
Meanwhile, hard drive vendors use this mess as an opportunity to the standard price reset after the "erosion" that began in 2009.
"In many ways, the HDD industry will jointly press the" Reset "button. A reset of the structure of the HDD industry should enable the participants remaining HDD industry to reduce prices slowly drive the current level with a rate that has value to customers while at the same time sufficient funds are available to new HDD technology needed for the hard drive capacity, performance, reliability, energy consumption and improve security to develop, "said John Rydning, Vice- president of research, hard drives at IDC.
"However, the growth in the long term can only be achieved if the other participants storage and storage solution providers with a wide range of products for a wide range of markets."
Cleaning and repair of factory buildings will be flooded in the first half of 2012, which means that the supply level before the flood of components and complete assemblies will not return until the third quarter of this year.

IBM Power 7+ Pictured | Technology News

IBM is still the king of the pack as they are for the last ten years. They were the first to market with a really great module MCM "bubble memory" back in the 70s, a server design using their immense Power5 MCM architecture in 2003, and now they are back with new packaging technology.

On Friday, a camera of Charlie Demerjian from Semi Accurate made ​​IBM eyes new baby, completely exposed.

The chips represented here are part of the POWER7 + new family and they are, from left to right: four P7 + CPU die to an intervention without a lid, four P7 + CPU die with organic packaging, even without a lid, and right, an unspecified said current stacked with and without the heat spreader.

No one else can now demonstrate such technology on a large scale, so that IBM is again at the forefront of the design of silicon integrated circuits.

It is said that the joints between an active part of the inclusion of large amounts of ERAM communicating over a very large bandwidth.

“The Hunger Games” Is Third Biggest Opening Ever in the US | Technology News

They do not call it the most anticipated film of 2012 for nothing: "The Hunger Games" is the official opening of the third largest U.S. always, extrapolation of $ 155 million (€ 116, 9 million) in the weekend.
The figures cited by Box Office Mojo shows that the "hunger" is the third most popular film will be released in the U.S., after "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" and "The Dark Knight."
The total cume is $ 214.3 million (€ 161.65 million) in its first weekend, but insiders believe that the things to come, because the film is not even in most areas.
While setting a new record for opening the third largest in the U.S., the film also marks a new stage for Lionsgate: "The Hunger Games" has surpassed "Fahrenheit 9/11" in the domestic sales of the first week.
"It is remarkable that he debuted at the top of the Twilight movies, and he overcame Alice in Wonderland ($ 116.1 million / € 87.5 million) for the highest debut ever for a non-suite," Bom reports.
The comparison is not arbitrary, because for the release, "The Hunger Games' is often referred to as" the new Twilight "in the sense that it is designed as a future franchise as successful as the saga of vampires.
Chances are it will be even greater. The fact that it targets a wider audience will certainly contribute to the "Twilight" to overcome.
"The film has an incredible influence on the Saturday - it fell 25 percent to 51 million [€ 38.4 million], which second all time behind Spider-Man 3 (state at $ 51.3 million / € 38.69 million) , "the same movie-oriented e-zine says.
"This suggests that the demand for The Hunger Games is through a wide range of viewers, and it's not only rooted in the nature of the rabid fans who pressed the front-loading openings for the latest Harry Potter movies and Twilight "BOM says.
Also good money to the American box office this week, "21 Jump Street," "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax 3D", "John Carter 3D," "courage," "Project X", "A Thousand Words," " Baby October "," Safe House "and" Journey 2. "

Colorful GTX 680 iGame Kudan Graphics Card Pictured | Technology News

Although it has been several days since the official launch of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, there seems no way to stop the rain templates.

On the other hand, it's not so much a report on a new video card, but a rumor about a model that has yet to occur.

Like Galaxy, colorful develops a particular iteration of the Kepler-based graphics card.

It will be called GTX 680 iGame Kudan and use of the best air cooler that the company has in its collection.

IGame called Kudan (hence the name of the card) cooling solution is actually modular, allowing owners to change somewhat.

The radiators can be treated independently (VRM and memory can be covered with their own) and even the color can be changed (a pastel set is included).

If people are now believed, will not waste his colorful best cooling on a board of reference specced.

Unfortunately, if we can not say with certainty that the factory overclocking will be involved, we do not know how much faster than the shares of the GPU, shaders and memory function accelerates.

We assume that it is not in the range of 2 GHz, but that's fine, because buyers will get everything they need to improve the performance of their own tune.

Speaking of which, the colorful GTX 680 iGame Kudan get a digital 8-phase VRM can be increased with a homer in four phases, through a daughter card attached to a modified SO-DIMM.

The daughter card at the rear of the product, parallel to the plane of the printed circuit board.

People familiar with the company will know that only sells colorful video controllers in Asia and Europe, so U.S. citizens will need to seek alternatives.

Reference specifications for the Kudan want to leave in the dust, here where we covered the official launch of the invention of NVIDIA.

Stanford University Hacked Again, 978 Users Exposed | Technology News

A number of 978 sets of records were released from the servers at Stanford University, after a hacker known as GreyerSting successfully identified a SQL injection vulnerability in the forum of the official institution computer.

"I just get bored and saw the vulnerability and decided to exploit," said the pirate.

The data dump contains the full name, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses and other details.

Readers may recall that the site of Stanford University has also been hacked and defaced on 16 March. At the moment, the security researcher Shadab Siddiqui provided information that the weaknesses that have affected the site demonstrated.

It is not clear whether in the meantime Stanford team information on the issues that we reported, because they have not responded to our emails, but it is clear that some dangerous gaps do not exist yet on the site.

Grandma Smashes Her Face into Apple Store, Sues | Technology News

Paswall is one of the few people worldwide who donate AOT much care for iconic all-glass Apple OSA stores.

And she has every reason to think that way after walking into a shop, glass door of the participant nose broken in the process.

Mrs. Paswall was the return of an iPhone in the store in Manhasset, New York in December last year. If they go to the store, entered the participant, the glass door and Mrs. Paswall suddenly.

In Australia, news.com.au OSA, the octogenarian literally hit her face against the door and broke his nose.

She went on to sue Apple for $ 1 million, claiming that the Cupertino tech giant would have had to find that on the glass so the elderly can be the difference between the building and to the thin air.

"Apple wants to be cool and modern and the nature of the architecture that appeals to the technology crowd," said his lawyer, Derek T. Smith "But they must realize the danger that this high-tech modern architecture installation in some people."

"The defendant was negligent in allowing ... a clear, transparent glass wall and / or door to exist without adequate warning," said the costume.

"There were no marks on the glass or inadequate," said Smith. "My client is an octogenarian. It is clear, but she sees no glass."

"The stereotypical Apple customer is someone who is Gen-Y or a teenager or student, but they must realize that the older generation are their customers, too," he added.

According to MacRumors, Mrs. Paswall request for $ 75,000 in medical expenses and damages for negligence to $ 1 million.

Double-Slit Experiment Carried Out with 114-Atom Molecules | Technology News

Physicists from the University of Vienna in Austria to announce the completion of the major iteration of the famous double slit experiment (DSE). They managed to very large molecules consisting of a 58 or 114 atoms to use, while replicating the study centuries old.
The SPD is one of the most important basis for quantum mechanics today. It was first performed in the 1800s by the English scientist Thomas Young. The goal was to determine if light is composed of particles or waves.
He noted that the photons act as both particle and wave, a discovery that has contributed to the development of principles such as quantum entanglement and superposition. The latter means that a particle can be simultaneously in two states (namely, waves and particulates, as opposed to particles or waves).
What the team has recently UV duplicate experiment with photons of Young, but very large molecules. The researchers were intrigued when they discovered that the same interference patterns were known scale of molecules observed not only with subatomic particles.
"In some ways it's a bit surprising, because these are very complex and flexible molecules, they change their shape as they fly into the machine, 'expert says Markus Arndt.
"If you talk to the community, maybe 50 percent say it is normal because it is quantum physics, and the other 50 percent would be really scratching their heads, because it is quantum physics," adds the researcher, a leader in new project.
Historically, Young experiment showed that light is a wave, a. Search disagree with the beliefs 17th and 18th centuries, but Albert Einstein showed in 1905 that light is a particle, and thus the concept of wave-particle duality is born, reports LiveScience.
In 1961, the German physicist Claus Jönsson determined that the interference patterns caused by light from the DSW is not exclusively to photons, but may be achieved by using electrons. This also caused a revolution in physics.
"Seeing the experience of two slots, it's like watching a total eclipse for the first time, a chill runs through you and primitive hairs on your arms stand You think this thing is true wave and particle. the foundation of your ability to move and sway, "said Alison Campbell.
She has an appointment as an astronomer at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. Details of the new study appearing in the March 25 online issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology high.
