Who will control the internet? Humans or machines or something else?
2012-01-04 08:28:00 I believe that Time is invented by humans, events arediscovered by nature or god or something. Our human world based on both time andevents. Our brain is well-trained for both time-based and event based world. Everydaytasks that we are doing either based on time or event. If we want to design asystem based on time or event or hybrid means then we should understand their properties.Following are the properties of time - Time is a regular, repetitive one, more proactive,high cost, need to know everything in advance, low runtime overhead, anythingthat is not completely known cannot be handled at all, assumes periodic world, inflexible? can only handle what is completely known before, deterministic ? knownbeforehand which activity running when etc. Even based systems has followingproperties - flexible ? not completely known activities can be added easily, widelyused in many systems, simple constraints, high runtime overhead, limitedpredictability etc.Humans typically support more toward...

Machines are becoming intelligent, I am fooled by information overload, Hel
2011-12-22 12:57:00 Today, five billion people have cellphones. Two billion people using the Internet. That is, too manydevices, too many people produce/consume information. The everincreasing amount of information available to us is mind-blowing.According to EMC, there are presently 800,000 petabytes (one millionGB) in data storage. And according to the University of California,American homes consume nearly 3.6 zettabytes (one million petabytes = one zettabyte) of information per day. It?s expected to grow,EMC expects a 44-fold increase in data storage by 2020.If I turn around, Data/Informationis all around me. I am stuck on the information overload. My emailinbox, text messages, Social network feeds, RSS feeds, updates,ebooks, notes, todo's etc My brain throwing me in a infinite for loopwhere I am not able to focus on a given task at hand. The more theinformation its hard for brain to manage it but its good for machinesto learn better if it gets more information. I am becoming aninformation-consum...

Machines of War: Blackwater, Monsanto, and Bill Gates

I’ve always said everything is not what it seems. There is ...
More Jobs Lost to Machines: The Demise of Check-Out Clerks
2010-10-14 17:32:00 More jobs are being lost to self-service machines as workers struggle to make money in this economy. Have you noticed lately that there are more self-service machines at the check out line in stores like CVS, Fresh & Easy, and Jewel Foods? No longer are the store clerks standing behind the counter ringing up your items, rather they are nowhere to be seen meaning less jobs in the service sector. I walked into my local CVS store a couple of weeks ago and was greeted by four self-service machines instead of store personnel. The store had been reworked to accommodate these machines in the continuing effort to reduce costs for the company. People were standing in line trying...

McAfee Update Causes Windows XP SP3 Machines to Fail Worldwide
2010-04-21 22:34:00 I imagine that 21st April 2010 will be a day that McAfee will remember for sometime to come and probably one they would much prefer to forget! The antivirus vendor issued its daily security update DAT5958 at 06:00 PDT (GMT-7), but by 13:00 BST (GMT+1) the update was wreaking havoc on many corporate networks in the United Kingdom, let alone the rest of the world! The update affected Windows XP machines with Service Pack 3 applied, falsely detecting the svchost.exe file as Win32/wecorl.a. The vendor’s VirusScan product essentially prevented the svchost.exe file from running, causing Windows to endlessly reboot in many cases. McAfee acted fairly quickly by pulling the affected virus definition file (DAT5958) from their download servers, preventing more customers from becoming involved in what must be one of the worst update issues to impact corporate networks for some time. They released DAT5959 to replace the affected virus definition file at around 10:15 PDT (GMT-7). ...
CTA approves more ATM machines across system
2010-03-16 13:00:00 The late Illinois Sen. Everett Dirksen once famously said: "A million dollars here, a million dollars there, pretty soon you're talking about real money."The quote comes to mind upon learning that the CTA has contracted with a few more banks to provide ATM machines more properties. The deal approved by the board last week will earn the agency about $1.3 million over five years in new revenue. That's on top of the contracts approved at the February board meeting that will net the CTA nearly $5 million over five years. This contract increases the number of ATM locations on CTA property from 77 to 97. The machines will be installed by this summer. "This addition to last month's ATM contract...

Men and Machines
2009-10-12 18:53:00 Developments in computer technologies, in the past decades, have had their impact on human life in more than one way. But where this increasing interaction between human beings and computers is leading and how is it defining the focus of research in the field are some of the valid fields of study that are likely to make difference in human lives in future.The emergence of information technology (IT), the availability of the web, and the user friendly designs are rapidly increasing the use of computers. Despite odds like literacy, availability (and reliability) of phone connection and affordability, the use of computers is significantly increasing in Pakistan as well. E-mail, real-time text correspondence and voice exchange are already popular asides from word processing and spread sheets. But in Pakistan, most of the new concepts are still untested, which makes any analysis inconclusive.In developed world, concepts, such as video communications, virtual discussion groups, and forums...

What's it Worth: Singer Sewing Machines
2009-09-21 23:44:00 Carmen Gutierrez asks about her 1956 Singer Model Sewing Machine. John Walcher explains there are just thousands of old sewing machines on the market:Singer was one of the largest manufacturers of sewing machines and therefore many of them are still readily available. The children's models are more desirable to collectors, especially with the original box. Children typically did not take care of their sewing machines like adults, which cause better condition examples to bring a premium. Overall, there are many factors that will take into account when determining the total value for your piece: the condition, whether or not it has the original case, if it is a table model or built into a sewing stand, etc. The typical range...
