Sony Accelerating Production of Larger OLED TVs
2008-05-25 10:17:00 Sony is accelerating their production of larger OLED TVs. Why? OLED TVs are obviously better than traditional TVs due to their lower power while high output, meaning brighter, better pictures. There’s also Samsung, who is working on their own OLED TVs. The question will remain which big TV manufacturer will win the race. The competition might ...
Robotic sailboats and accelerating change
2008-05-14 04:27:00 The Microtransit Challenge. This is a testament to Moore's law. Ten years ago this was 100% science fiction. Five years ago someone could talk about it. 2006 they held it on a lake. This year its across the Atlantic. ...and it's at hobby prices. One of the entrants, the Pinta, cost the competitors Ł2,500. Umm...you could build it in your garage if you had the programming chops. Big deal you say, it's just a glorified model sailboat. Well yes and no. Yes they look like simple little sailboats but they've got: Solar power, automated sensors, GPS positioning and course navigation software. They obviously have a much simpler algorithm than the DARPA Grand Challenge cars, but still need to get from point A to point B. Also this technology will be a boon to climate science. At Ł2,500 a pop you can make hundreds and send them out into the oceans and go anywhere and report back anything you can imagine. A mobile science buoy....

Accelerating Change and what it will be like in ten years.
2008-04-25 20:50:00 Charlie Martin makes some fairly straightforward "in-the-box" predictions about the power of computing coming in the next ten years. Even so there are some remarkable facts buried in the article. What Will Your Next Computer Be Able to Do? We haven?t talked about networks much yet, but the same kind of rule applies to them as we?ve applied to computers: the total speed of the network at the house should go up by between 16 and 32 times in ten years. My cable modem: 8 gigabits a second, at least in theory. My home network in 2018: 128 gigabits a second, or call it 12 gigabytes a second. That?s a whole HD movie in around 5 seconds.

The collapse of the United States is accelerating: Oil in Euros vs. US doll
2008-04-24 13:54:00 In the last eight years implementing the plans for the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) designed “to promote American global leadership” has backfired. To accomplish PNAC’s goals, all threats needed to be eliminated. From the onset, the United Sates earmarked two countries as mortal enemies: Venezuela and Iran. With Venezuela, it is well documented that the CIA attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government of Chavez. And with Iran, the United States continues to use it as a scapegoat for its failures in Iraq. These cold war tactics however are proving to be US’s undoing. (more…)

The ethanol backlash is accelerating; even the cows aren?t happy
2007-11-28 20:57:00 How many E85 pumps do you have nearby? Odds are, not very many. Meanwhile, production of ethanol continues to climb and more corn is being consumed for fuel production. That's driving up prices of grain for livestock feed. All in all almost no one is happy. In spite the fact that people are starting to realize that corn ethanol is clearly not a panacea, there may actually be an upside to this. Perhaps the increased price of feed grain will encourage more livestock producers to get them off the feed lots and go back to grazing cattle on grass like they were meant to. That would probably help reduce the incidents of toxic E Coli and methane emissions. Cattle aren't supposed to eat grains, anyway, and can't really digest them properly. [Source: Wall Street Journal]
Why light bulbs are accelerating global warming and mercury contamination
2007-11-28 18:21:00 Why light bulbs are accelerating global warming and mercury contamination: "Unfortunately, very little has changed about the light bulb since the turn of the 20th century. The device still wastes 95 percent of the electricity it consumes. And thanks to a deliberate design by manufacturers to encourage repeat sales (i.e. they are deliberately engineered to burn out), light bulbs still burn out after about 1,000 hours, requiring consumers to toss them into the garbage and buy new ones. (It's true: Light bulbs were invented in 1991 that last 60,000 hours, but companies refuse to mass produce them, since repeat sales of light bulbs would plummet. The bulbs sold to consumers today are designed to self-destruct.)"

ARRRGH!!! The Law of Accelerating Returns can be annoying!
2007-10-08 16:08:00 I spent all weekend formatting and reinstalling my computer so I have a nice clean system to begin the huge complicated task of editing my first feature documentary ‘Racing Heart’. I took great pains to ensure the cleanest install of XP I’ve ever done. I defragged the hard drive after every program I installed. I also very carefully optimized the settings after each install. It is all done and it IS the best and cleanest install ever. The puter is running much faster but there is just one hitch. My computer is a little antiquated. I installed Adobe’s editing software, Premiere 1.5, because my processor doesn’t support the SSE2 instruction set, which all of the new chips do. Premiere Pro 2 and 3 need that instruction set or they won’t even install. My camera is a newer camera (Canon XHA1) and isn’t supported by the old editing programs. I can’t preview or capture any video! ARRRRRR!!! What is an independent filmmaker to do? It’s...

Brazil accelerating biodiesel production
2007-09-30 01:57:00 Brazil, our big ethanol friend has decided to repeat its alcoól success with biodiesel. For 2008, the country had plans for a mandatory 2 percent biodiesel blend into all diesel pumps in the country. Nevertheless, although oil production has already increased enough to raise the bar to 5 percent, which had been the plan for 2012, the Brazilian government expects to raise the percentage in time for 2010. According to Brazil's Government spokesperson, Marcelo Baumbach, and the União Brasileira do Biodiesel (Urabio), the biodiesel sector plans have been accomplished. They're now talking about a mandatory 8 percent blend in a few years' time. Although ethanol seems to be the fuel of choice for Brazilians, diesel is actually the most-used fuel in the country, with about 650,000 barrels per day. Most of it is imported, so swapping this for locally-produced biodiesel is surely good for the country's economy. Brazil has developed an official "Social fuel" seal which recognises...

Accelerating Change: Planetariums.
2007-09-27 19:08:00 Just an example of accelerating change. There were rooms and devices in history that could be categorized as planetariums dating back to the 13th century, but the first true planetarium was created in Munich in 1920. [ref. linky] [wikipedia] That planetarium used a metal dome with holes poked in it to project the lights onto a domed ceiling. This technology remained largely unchanged for 60 years. Since then we have seen rapid change. With computer processing power increasing continuously it is now possible to provide dynamic content up onto the dome. I went to a local planetarium last year and the experience was more like a trip through space than a lecture from an instructor. It was remarkable. But it doesn't stop there. We now have sophisticated programs available to everyone for free that exceed the capabilities of ANY planetarium that was built before the year 2000. Stellarium [linky] is only the most sophisticated example. ...

Accelerating Change: Hearing loss a thing of the past
2007-07-27 01:59:00 Here is a great article about a person with lifelong hearing loss. Through his life he has repeatedly purchased and used hearing aids and been uniformly dissapointed. Each one has been little more than an amplifier of sound, which doesn't really solve the problem. Recently he got a modern cutting edge model. And then humming. And I asked, what?s that? I turned to the audiologist who said, the humming is the light fixtures overhead. I looked up and it occurred to me that the world was opening up in waves around me within this tiny office. I could hear the secretary a room away on the phone and the printer printing and a phone ringing behind me, and I knew right were it was. Wow! Right now I hear the refigerator running on the other side of the office. And I can make out the highway sounds in the background...just. This guy has NEVER heard the background sounds of life. Until now. Go read the whole thing.

Accelerating Change: Telescopic Power
2007-07-09 22:36:00 So everyone talks about the increasing computer speed and power, Moore's Law as it were. But there are many technologies that are following a similar path. One that may not have the same visibility in the press is telescope power. There has been a rapid increase in telescopic abilities lately. We have seen the number of extra-solar planets discovered go from 1 (which was huge news) to tens to many more than that in just a few short years. Now comes word that NASA researchers have demostrated that they have the technological capabilities to detect an EARTH SIZE planet. This is a remarkable development. [linky] Even the vaunted "Futurist" looks like he has underestimated accelerating change when he stated last October: [linky] I believe that increasingly more powerful telescopes will ensure that we discover the first genuinely Earth-like planet in another star system by 2011, and that by 2025, we will have discovered tho...

A Tip for Accelerating Your Forex Education
2007-06-19 03:00:00 I teach a lot of traders and at the beginning they all have the same question...How long will it take me to learn this? How much time can I expect to spend on my Forex education.You know there is no answer to this. There are many variables to this answer, but it really comes down to the qualities needed to overcome most obstacle -- patience, determination, persistence and perseverance.I know, yeah but..Yeah, we have all those qualities, but we still want to accelerate the process. My recommendation is to live at the razor's edge. If you have traded Forex for any time you will realize that the difference between profit and loss is literally a razor's edge. With experience comes minor tweaking of our trading process until we have found consistency. Consistency gained through Forex training.It's kind of like baseball (my favorite trading - sports analogy). If you are a .320 batter your baseball career you will most likely be elected to the Hall of Fame and bestowed major acco...
