Level Of Difficulty at Work: 1.5 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: 10min here.. 15min there
Technews..
Intel introduces the Rosedale system-on-a-chipset today. For a new type of wireless networking called WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave(!?) Access). Regular 802.11b or g networks say they go 100 yards indoors and 300 outdoors. I can go two houses down or across the street and still be online, which is cool. But with WiMAX the range is a 31 mile radius and flowing at 70Mbps. Now match that with vDsl (whenever that appears in the US) and you can actually use most of the speeds (up to 55Mbps / 19.2Mbps+). After that you know the whole nation will go wireless and then file sharing / swapping will be beyond madness! Estimated time in which it becomes affordable, 2006..
31 miles.. all you need is to plop one on mount sutro, then on mount diablo, tam, and any other mountainous region and EVERYBODY can go wireless.. Well, you'll need to buy the gear though..
Samsung busted out a cellphone in which it's alpha waves instead of microwaves, the SCH-S350. It's supposed to help the brain out instead of frying it. (Wireless networks, Cordless phones, and Microwaves operate at the 2.4 Ghz range) We'll see if that one does any good.
For you Futurama fans and freaks. This german dood made a PC case that looks like Bender. Silly Germans!
Oh ya and speaking of cellphones, I guess thi guy lived by the cellphone and died by the cellphone.. Too bad they don't sell this tombstone at Costco. You coulda got the casket and the tombstone all-in-one deal!
