Google opens new laboratory, the Measurement Lab (M-Lab’s nickname). It is intended to provide tools to users allowing them to measure their speed connection to the Web.
In partnership with the Open Technology Institute of the New America Foundation, Planet Lab Consortium and researchers from several U.S. universities, the Internet firm has developed this platform to provide measurement tools to Internet users and a place of exchange for developers of these utilities.
Today, three applications will work. They can “help users diagnose problems that could weaken their speed and whether BitTorrent is blocked or slowed by their ISP,” explain Vint Cerf, co-inventor of the TCP / IP and Stephen Stuart engineer in a message published on the official Google blog. (more…)

The classics never die. Put in terms of mobile telephony, which are well advanced for the new terminal, there is always a gap for a phone in a lifetime, to talk and little more. Perhaps SMS.
The Nokia 6700, Nokia 6303 and Nokia 2700 phones are the new signature Finland. Since then check are far fewer phones for emerging countries and low-profile, only that they are free in the race for touch screens or keyboards sliding complete.
The Nokia 6700 for example, noted for his camera of 5 megapixels and GPS. HSPA is a phone capable of reaching 10 Mbps of data download. In ideal situation clear. Its market price, free, will be about 250 euros.
The Nokia 6303 low-resolution photos from your camera to good 3.2 megapixels, and takes a good GPS or 3G connectivity. The screen stays at 2.2 megapixels.

EVGA GTX285 FTW its fate (For The Win) Edition and the big feature of this card is its operating frequencies, simply the highest in the market for this type of card!
The core is then clocked at 720 MHz to 648 MHz against the standard map, as the shaders spend 1476 MHz to 1620 MHz memory while it is good to 292 MHz from 2480 to 2772 MHz!
The secret of this card is without doubt an operating voltage higher, probably 1.2 V 1.15 V against the original which would explain certification also attractive.
Do not forget that despite this factory overclocking rather convincing, EVGA will allow you to go further …
Indeed, the software EVGA Voltage Tuner “which is apparently imminent exit, you will no more and no less than change the operating voltage of GPU card on the fly as did Gigabyte on the card you NX88GT512HP .

If you were waiting for mobile handsets with Android, it seems that finally, the MWC 2009 we will bring more of a surprise, as the General DSTL1 Mobile (I had not heard in my life).
The DSTL1 is a terminal with a touch screen manufactured by Sharp and resolution 3-inch WQVGA (400 × 240 pixels, which I consider adjusted), Marvell PXA 310 processor 624MHz, connectivity triband GPRS / EDGE (900/1800/1900MHz) and Wi-Fi (802.11b / g). Acceptable features, which at this point falls short in the data connection.
Likewise, the DSTL1 integrates a 5MP camera with autofocus, LED flash and lens Sharp, along with 4GB of internal memory and supports microSD cards up to 8GB, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR and FM radio, which complement the features of this terminal. Battery life (1200mAh) is simply bad, with 4 hours in conversation and 150 hours standby.
The best thing about it is potentially DSTL1 come standard with the Android operating system (the current version runs a mobile Linux distro with Kernel 2.6) and with support for two SIM cards (which I’m not sure that Android supports today) . For now, the Android DSTL1 to be announced in mid-February, during MWC 2009. Meanwhile dream. (more…)
