Android-x86 for PCs Finally Coming Also

If you hear the name of Android, it's not wrong if you immediately remember that it is a mobile operating system that is besutan Google recently was widely into the public conversation and started many ogled by the manufacturers of telecommunications equipment.

This time it comes with a different view, Android is now present as the x86 platform, which means that allow us to run this operating system in Asus Eee PC netbook, and also can run on a platform 32-bit x86.

A group of developers called the 'Android-x86'. Indeed the news itself has begun terendus by them since several years ago after creating several improvements which allow Android to run on x86 platform.

The purpose of this project itself is to provide a complete solution for Android-based Eee PC the first time and then provides solutions for common x86 platforms as well.

So far, this team has successfully tested this operating system which still use the Android 1.6 (Donut) on some models like the Eee PC 701, 701SD, 900, 900A, 901, 904HD, 1000, 1000HE, 1000HD, 1005HAG, S101, T91 ( VESA mode) and Eee Top 1602C.

This operating system reportedly also working on the Lenovo ThinkPad x61 Tablet. All the machines mentioned above size resolutions seem to run 480 or 800 × 1024 × 600 with i915 driver. Apparently this will also work on Linux Kernel 2.6.29 with KMS is enabled.

The next plan is to support an external monitor, improve bluetooth support, including power management, support multi-touch touchpad, 3G and GPS support also later. Hmmm, could be likely later this Android will make a great couple for the Eee PC. Well, we'll see their work later.

Prototype Robot Mahru KIST-Z For a Robot Assistant Skilled Households

Do you have a domestic assistant in the home, who usually do all the homework for you? It is not rare that the family accidentally pay someone to do the cleaning because of outside activities are not allowed to do everything themselves. But even after a domestic servant was also a human being should be treated well, do not let the grief of a home workers from those countries again because employers are rude and not berkeprimanusiaan.

Perhaps it was also encouraging researchers to replace a set of tasks of a domestic servant in the household assistant robot. Looks like this is not a bad idea. Robots are specially designed by a computer program and not have their own instincts. So all is set by programs that have been embedded in the chip.

So Be Mahru KIST robot, this is not the initial prototype of the next prototype but Mahru M, this time performing with a shorter size than before is 4 feet 3 inches and weighs approximately 55 pounds, this Z Mahru robot seems to have designed the arm more skilled. In a demo shown that the robot Mahru-Z and Mahru-M has now been able to bring us a cup of tea, we get bread from the toaster and menyuguhkannya us.

Both robots are already equipped with 3D Object Recognition technology, which can recognize 3D objects in completing their tasks. Seems Mahru own generation will continue to grow over time. But perhaps this is the beginning of which will have a robot that will bring us a cup of tea and bread in the morning for our breakfast. Hmmm, interesting is not it?

Well, if you're interested in seeing this Mahru robot action, please see the following video:

Stealth aircraft

Stealth aircraft are aircraft that use stealth technology to interfere with radar detection as well as means other than conventional aircraft by employing a combination of features to reduce visibility in the visual, audio, infrared and radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Development of stealth technology likely began in Germany during WWII. Well-known modern examples of stealth aircraft include the United States' F-117 Nighthawk (1981-2008), the B-2 Spirit "Stealth Bomber", the F-22 Raptor, and the F-35 Lightning II.While no aircraft is totally invisible to radar, stealth aircraft prevent conventional radar from detecting or tracking the aircraft effectively, reducing the odds of an attack. Stealth is accomplished by using a complex design philosophy to reduce the ability of an opponent's sensors to detect, track, or attack the stealth aircraft. This philosophy also takes into account the heat, sound, and other emissions of the aircraft as these can also be used to locate it.Stealth is the combination of passive low observable (LO) features and active emitters such as Low Probability of Intercept Radars, radios and laser designators. These are usually combined with active defenses such as Chaff, Flares, and ECMStealth aircraft are aircraft that use stealth technology to interfere with radar detection as well as means other than conventional aircraft by employing a combination of features to reduce visibility in the visual, audio, infrared and radio frequency (RF) spectrum.
