| Google's New Search Engine: Videos! - Posted by xskater |
|
Google has released the BETA version of its video search but its not what you might think. It is a search engine for tv programs rather than a video version of its image search.
Video Search: http://video.google.com/?sourceid=gvd&subid=us-et-about [quote](from http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2005/01/google_video_se.html) Google Video Search  Google launched video search tonight and doing a quick Google Video Search for TiVo shows you that it's pretty good at pulling out all the mentions of the company in the 24 hour news cycle. Lots of little news shows showing up in the screenshots. It goes beyond simply search through transcripts and actually shows screengrabs of when the words were mentioned. Does this mean Google has a Myth or TiVo farm somewhere in the Bay Area, sucking down every single channel's video to index for the search engine? I can't wait to see this new thing grow -- hopefully someday soon all that video will be one click away to view. Maybe they could even become an iTunes Movie Store and sell shows/movies too?[/quote] |

| VoIP creates problems for using 911 - Posted by Anonymous |
|
Since VoIP (Voice over IP) has come in the picture, lots of people have left the analog lines, and stepped up to digital telephony. Now there seems to be a problem with VoIP.
Phones on an analog line can be traced, as well as cellphones. However, when you are a VoIP customer, you cannot be traced by the 911 emergency service. So what happens when you're in trouble? That's right. Nothing. Nobody shows up after you have made your distress call. This seems to be quite a problem. Already, the state of Texas has filed a lawsuit against a company in that state. Texas claims the company has misled them by giving them incomplete information. Read more about this here |

If you like your home's interior clean and white, this might be quite a nice add-on for you. If you can only find a grey/silverish or black pair of headphones, then this might be the one you're actually looking for.
Enjoy!! |

| Intel Readies 64-Bit Pentiums - Posted by Phate |
|
Battling back against AMD's increasingly popular Athlon 64 processor, Intel is poised to bring 64-bit computing to its desktop CPU lineup when it unveils its P4 6XX series. The processor family could be announced as early as later this month.
"The 6XX is a follow-on product to the Pentium 4 Prescott family," says Willy Agatstein, general manager of Intel's reseller products group. "It has an 800-MHz front-side bus, 2 MB of on-die Level 2 cache and EM64T technology. In addition, it has a number of enhanced power-management features, which allows you to get the latest performance, but be able to do it at reduced power." Interestingly, the 6XX parts won't be Intel's first 64-bit Pentiums, though they will be the first to be broadly available to resellers and consumers. Last summer, Intel quietly began shipping to IBM an OEM version of a Pentium 4 Prescott processor equipped with 64-bit instruction-set extensions. The device was used in an IBM BladeCenter blade server. Though the new 6XXs will have a beefier cache to boost performance, folding in the 64-bit capability wasn't much of a technical challenge. More than a year ago, at an analyst's meeting for the business community, Intel president Paul Otellini revealed that Intel was building its 64-bit instruction-set extensions into all its Prescott-class processors, but that it wasn't turning the feature on. Otellini said it was holding off on enabling the extensions until Microsoft was ready to release a 64-bit version of its Windows XP operating system. The 64-bit release of Windows XP still isn't officially available, but it appears to be wending its way toward shipment. A second beta version was recently made available to developers by Microsoft. Though Microsoft and Intel aren't commenting, talk has been circulating that this will be the final beta before an imminent official release. Compared with some previous processor rollouts, Intel appears to be soft-pedaling the 6XX. That could be because it doesn't want to overemphasize 64-bit instruction-set extensions, since competitor AMD kicked off that category nearly two a years ago when it debuted its AMD64 architecture and companion extensions. These are implemented in AMD's Opteron server and Athlon 64 desktop processors. Intel's extensions, which were first used in a Xeon server processor and are called EM64T, are compatible with AMD's extensions. According to Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research in Cave Creek, Ariz., the extensions won't be a big differentiator. "It's going to be a moot point, because most likely by midyear both companies will be offering complete coverage in the [desktop] performance segment," he says. "It is a significant advance, however. It's not going to get used a lot initially. It's much more important for establishing an infrastructure for when the applications will be using it a year or two down the road." The Intel 6XX processors are single-core devices. Intel's first multicore CPUs are expected to be announced later this year. |
