LTE (Long Term Evolution)

3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data. It is based upon GSM/EDGE and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System/High Speed Packet Access (UMTS/HSPA) network technologies. The standard is maintained as a project of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), operating under a name trademarked by one of the associations within the partnership, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

The goal of LTE is to increase the capacity and speed of wireless data networks utilizing cutting-edge hardware and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques that have recently been developed. Its wireless interface is incompatible with 2G and 3G networks, and so it must be operated on separate wireless spectrum.

Features of LTE include an all-IP flat network architecture, end-to-end QoS including provisions for low-latency communications, peak download rates nearing 300 Mbps and upload rates of 75 Mbps, capacity exceeding 200 active users per cell, the ability to manage fast-moving mobiles, and support for multi-cast and broadcast streams.

IPv6 Fundamentals

O'Reilly Webcast: IPv6 Fundamentals - Keys to Avoid Common Transition Mistakes

There is so little operational expertise with IPv6 that the risk of mistakes managing the migration from v4 to v6 is high, which can cause problems. And the quality of the implementations with v6 stacks will be problematic simply because they are new. This session with leading O'Reilly authors and IPv6 experts helps you get prepared to successfully manage the transition, identify when and how to get started and avoid mistakes.

This webcast addresses: * IPv6 Fundamentals * Addressing some common IPv6 myths * What enterprise IT teams need to know about getting ready for World IPv6 Day * Handling IPv6 with DNS * Managing the transition from IPv4 to IPv6

Apple Stimulates Religious Experience...!?

Looks like the Bible has some competition from Apple. That's right, an experiment by British neuroscientists revealed the tech giant's products stimulate the brain similarly to religious imagery. According to The Register...

"...the neuroscientists ran an MRI scan on the brain of Alex Brooks, the editor of World of Apple, who claims that the Jobsian cult is 'definitely' on his mind 24 hours a day. They discovered that photos of things like the iPhone and the iPad make certain parts of his brain all tingly."

A blogger for CNET ponders over the meaning of such Apple-theism.

"...there is surely one deep and significant philosophical question to ask on this fine Friday: are people becoming religiously devoted to products such as Apple's because religion has failed them?"

But a writer for Computer World spews blasphemy -- questioning the legitimacy of the experiment, which was conducted for a BBC documentary on 'superbrands.'

"Obviously, this isn't real science. It wasn't a controlled experiment. No comparisons were made about whether Heinz beans or Adidas sneakers, for example, are stimulating the same parts of the brain as that stimulated by religious imagery. So this MRI scanning is as much stunt as it is truth."

In any case, The Guardian says Apple's divine status is undeniable, saying...

"This suggests that the big tech brands have harnessed, or exploit, the brain areas that have evolved to process religion... A meeting with the Bishop of Buckingham, who reads the Bible using his Apple iPad, appeared to back up this assertion."

BBC's Alex Riley decided to experience the Jobsian cult by visiting an Apple store opening.

HTML5@Wikipedia

HTML5@Wikipedia: HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web, a core technology of the Internet. It is the latest revision of the HTML standard (originally created in 1990 and most recently standardized as HTML4 in 1997) and currently remains under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML4, but XHTML1 and DOM2HTML (particularly JavaScript) as well.
