iPad 2 in the spring !

IPad 2 will support FaceTime  video talks.

According to Asian suppliers of  Apple,the renovated iPad  will be delivered in the second quarter of 2011, suggesting the release of the tablet in the spring. 

DigiTimes claims that iPad 2 will have full compatibility with FaceTime. All components are tested for 9.7-inch display, which puts an end to rumors of a smaller size of the new generation iPad.

FaceTime currently is used in the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch.

This Video system should be an open standard. This means that in the long term should appear on other devices as well.
Conversations will be conducted only between FaceTime customers.

Future smart cars alone will call an ambulance

Intelligent cars

Soon cars will be free to communicate with emergency services in case of accident. They will give information about how serious is the crash and how many victims there are in it, reported BBC.
Such projections were presented at the symposium "The World of the Future", organized by the British Institute of Microelectronics Research.
Delegates at the conference spoke about the changes that may occur in the surrounding of man kind thanks to the massive deployment of tiny sensors and processors.


"The car will likely become most computerized object, which will be in our disposal," said Steve Wainwright, head of the European department of the Freescale Semiconductor.

Nowadays, according to Wainwright average car is 25-30 electronic control devices and expensive models - up to 80. These micro elements are responsible for the work of many in-car systems - stability, distribution of power, safety and more.

As pointed out by the specialist, they increasingly complement driver habits, especially with the development and dissemination of technologies such as radar systems and attack warning.

"The perception that we drive our car better than 10 years ago, is probably due to the fact that we get more help from electronic gadgets in the car itself" Wainwright said at the conference "The World of the Future".

Rapid response

Paul Barney, expert of the company SBD, dealing with automotive market research, agrees that the cars of the future will be able to send data about its location and amount of passengers in order to accelerate the arrival of aid services.
Smart systems will become indispensable when the world starts seriously shifting from gasoline engines to hybrid and electric ones,Barney added.
Only smart sensors are able to accurately determine the distance you can overcome by taking the car, the remaining battery charge, and analyze information for the location of the nearest filling station may increase the demand for such cars, says expert.

Road safety

Steve Wainwright of Freescale Semiconductor believes that the increasing deployment of computers in cars can make driving them more safer and cleaner.

He said in the U.S. has a range of radio frequencies for communications between vehicles but Europe still consider such a possibility.

The opening of such communication channels may give rise to electronic grouping columns, cars moving on a particular route in order to speed up traffic on highways and in cities.

Facebook denies rumors for the release of its new phone

On Sunday  TechCrunch.com citing a source familiar with the project, said that Facebook secretly develops software for mobile phone, and negotiate with a third party to build the hardware.

A spokesman for the company hastened to deny having said that the company "does not make phone", but her current projects are" highly integrated with some manufacturers". "We think that any attempt would be good, especially if it is social, so deeper integration into those platforms would be a good start," added the spokesman.

TechCrunch.com says that Facebook intends to integrate the list of contacts and some basic phone functions, but this can only happen if they take control of the device.  

In May the company launched software designed for users with limited Internet access.

"The key is that when working on integration with mobile phones, people want to call it a Facebook phone, because it sounds attractive, but this is not what we do," added the social network.

Internet Explorer 9, with faster graphics

Microsoft announced that it will present the beta version of Internet Explorer 9, competition in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, which among other improvements will have improved graphics acceleration. In his blog Microsoft described the advantages of full against partial acceleration. The company says that the beta will have full hardware acceleration of everything, including text, images, backgrounds and HTML5 video and audio.

Microsoft is referring to the demo in which a laptop with two IE9 are running the HTML 5 HD view using "very little of processor power," while "other browsers use all CPU resources while running only one video.

From Mozilla immediately defended: "They are wrong, Firefox has all four acceleration which they describe."
