Recently a group of researchers from Stanford University has developed a new way of combating snoopers at ATM machine when someone entering the security password for authentication. The new innovation, known as EyePassword allows the users to enter password by using eyes only. In this way, there is almost impossible for third party to snoop the security password intentionally.
Nowadays we have been talking of Duo Core, Quad Core or even many more cores for the power hungry hyperthreading and multi-processing. However, there is always design and cost constraint in putting more cores into the same die. In order to break the boundary, Tilera Corporation has came out with the proof of concept design, known as TILE64 which integrates 64 cores on a single […]

There are more router products being manufactured based on the new wireless technology, known as 802.11n. It is a revolution from 802.11g wireless technology with some enhancements such as MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out) that can aggregate the throughput further beyond the maximum bandwidth with current 802.11g technology. In order to set a benchmarking standard, octoScope has recently conducted test cases based on few available […]
Hard disk plays an important role as an element in boosting PC performance. With the increase speed of processor with Duo or Quad cores, the need of getting a high performance hard disk is crucial to prevent it from becoming a bottleneck that slows down the whole PC performance. In viewing of this, here it comes with a new revolution of SSD (Solid State Drive) […]
Nokia, the world largest cell phone manufacturer has recently announced that its original battery could overheat and potentially pose danger to consumers especially during charging mode.
