A new technology assessment function in US

A new report from the Science and Technology Innovation Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars defines the criteria for a new technology assessment function in the United States.

The U.S. Congress set a global precedent in 1972 when it created an Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), but then reversed course in 1995 by shutting down the OTA. In the meantime, 18 European Technology Assessment agencies are flourishing and have pioneered important new methods, including Participatory Technology Assessment (pTA).

By educating and engaging laypeople, pTA is unique in enabling decision-makers to learn their constituents’ informed views regarding emerging developments in science and technology.

The Internet and social networking capacities make it possible to organize such an endeavor on a distributed, agile and open basis, harnessing collaborative efficiencies and supporting broad public engagement.”In the 15 years since OTA was closed, TA has progressed significantly in Europe.

It is time for the U.S. to institutionalize a serious, continuous and nonpartisan capability to assess the broad social, ethical, legal, and economic impacts of emerging science and technology in areas such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, and earth systems engineering,” said David Rejeski, who directs the Wilson Center program.Founding partners in ECAST include the Science and Technology Innovation Program at the Wilson Center,, the Boston Museum of Science, Arizona State University, ScienceCheerleader, and the Loka Institute.

Study: Mobile market to grow in the fourth quarter by up to 15 percent

Study: Mobile market to grow in the fourth quarter by up to 15 percent

It is the first increase since the third quarter of 2008. The increasing competition, driving down the average price. Nokia remains the market leader in front of Samsung and LG.

According to ABI Research, global mobile phone market in the fourth quarter of 2009 grew by 15 percent over the previous year. Overall, the manufacturers have sold 336.5 million mobile phones. It is the first increase since the third quarter of 2008.

comes to a similar conclusion Strategy Analytics, attesting to the mobile phone market in the fourth quarter of 2009 with 324.4 million units sold, an increase of 10 percent. Between October and December 2008, the sales had amounted to 293.8 million units.

Increasing competition between providers in the fourth quarter had a negative impact on the average, the ABI Research. He had fallen 2 percent to $ 117.55.

Nokia and Samsung increased their market share, according to analysts in the final quarter of 2009 from 20.5 percent to 37.7 respectively. The third-largest mobile phone manufacturer LG Electronics was 10.1 percent. Sony Ericsson and Motorola lost share, however, and now proceed to 4.3 or 3.6 percent.

Despite positive results in the fourth quarter of 2009 mobile phone market has shrunk by 4.5 percent to 1.153 billion units.

Worldwide personal computer shipments business improved

Worldwide personal computer shipments increased more than 20 percent in the first three months of 2010 from the same period a year ago, a sign the PC business is on firmer ground after one of its shakiest stretches ever.

That could indicate that many kinds of technology companies, not just ones that sell PCs, will report stronger-than-expected first-quarter results as Intel Corp. did Tuesday.In China, consumers flocked to deals offered around the Chinese New Year holidays, which helped push up Lenovo n100 battery PC shipments 45.4 percent in the country, according to Gartner.

Mikako Kitagawa, an analyst at Gartner, said businesses spent more freely as the overall economy improved. She also said Windows 7, Microsoft Corp.’s newest PC operating system, will push companies to replace computers faster in the second half of 2010 and the beginning of 2011.

Gartner said PC shipments rose 27.4 percent. IDC estimated shipments grew 24.2 percent. The two groups calculate the figure using slightly different methods.Acer’s shipments grew faster than HP’s or Dell’s in the quarter of IBM thinkpad X60S battery . Analysts from both groups said HP and Dell have had a hard time matching Acer’s low prices.

The holiday period of 2008 and the first half of 2009 marked the industry’s worst stretch in several years. But then consumers’ interest in “netbooks” — tiny, inexpensive, low-powered laptops — and other cheap portable computers helped drive a turnaround, beginning with a tiny increase in shipments during the third quarter of 2009.

the murky nature of the Internet

Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander, who is the Obama administration’s nominee to take on additional duties as head of the new Cyber Command, also said the U.S. should not be deterred from taking action against countries such as Iran and North Korea just because they might launch cyber attacks.

Alexander’s answers reflect the murky nature of the Internet and the escalating threat of cyber terrorism, which defies borders, operates at the speed of light and can provide deep cover for assailants who can launch disruptive attacks latitude d610 battery from continents away, using networks of innocent computers.

t’s unclear, Alexander added, whether or not those actions have deterred criminals, terrorists or Dell inspiron 1526 battery nations.In cyberspace, he said, it is difficult to deliver an effective response if the attacker’s identity is not known.Those guidelines require that the reaction be deemed militarily necessary and in proportion to the attack.

But commanders have clear rights to self-defense, he said. He added that while “this right has not been specifically established by legal precedent to apply to attacks in cyberspace, it is reasonable to assume that returning fire in cyberspace latitude d630 battery , as long as it complied with law of war principles … would be lawful.”

He repeatedly stressed that any U.S. response to a cyber attack must be authorized by the president and must conform to international law and guiding military principles. The three-star Army general laid out his views on Cyber Command Dell latitude 131l battery and the military’s role in protecting computer networks in a 32-page Senate questionnaire. He answered the questions in preparation for a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday on his nomination to head Cyber Command.

Noting that there is no international consensus on the definition of use of force, in or out of cyberspace, Alexander said uncertainty creates the potential for disagreements among latitude d600 battery nations.Alexander echoed other experts who warn that the U.S. is unprepared for a cyber attack. He said the first priority is to make sure the nation can defend its networks, which are now a “strategic vulnerability.”

IBM is also releasing AIX 6 Express

IBM plans to ship three Power7 blades on June 4. The new processor crams eight cores onto each chip, compared with two for the Power 6, though IBM can disable half the Power7 cores in order to sell it in lower-end configurations.

The blades will be able to accommodate 128GB of memory per server, double that of the Power6-based systems, he said. IBM is positioning the new products as general purpose servers for running back-end applications and databases Lenovo r61 battery , and says the extra memory footprint makes them well suited for virtualization and server consolidation.

Customers can slip the Power7 blades into an existing chassis alongside Power6 and x86 blade servers, Sibley said. Customers who buy the four-socket blade can’t turn on the other cores at a later time, however. IBM permits that only on its higher-end systems.

IBM is also releasing a new edition of AIX 6, called AIX 6 Express, that will carry a lower entry price and be limited to four processor cores per image and 8GB of memory per core.

It’s designed partly to provide a lower entry point for smaller customers, Sibley said. It is also for customers consolidating several smaller AIX workloads onto a larger machine. Those customers sometimes don’t need a version of AIX that scales to the maximum core count Lenovo n200 battery . And while the Express edition is limited to four cores, customers are allowed to run it within a partition on a larger server, he said.

Customers will be able to run AIX 6 on top of the new OS, something IBM has not enabled before. That means they’ll be able to upgrade a server to AIX 7 but still run existing applications on the older environment Lenovo t400 battery . IBM says the OSes are binary compatible, and that AIX 6 applications will run fine on AIX 7. “It’s more of a business process issue,” Sibley said.

Finally, IBM announced Rational Developer for Power V7.6, which it said would give AIX users “a modern, Eclipse-based development environment that supports C/C++ and COBOL development, and is also tightly integrated with Rational Team Concert for Power Systems for improved application lifecycle management.”

The Solar Impulse aircraft successfully completed its first test flight

The Solar Impulse aircraft, a pioneering Swiss bid to fly around the world on solar energy, successfully completed its first test flight in western Switzerland on Wednesday.”Today for Solar Impulse it’s an incredible milestone of Dell latitude e6400 battery . It gives us confidence for the next flight and for the next missions,” he added.

The high tech prototype had lifted off into blue skies at a speed of just 45 kilometres per hour (28 miles per hour) after running a few hundred metres down the runway at Payerne air base shortly before 10:30 am .After 87 minutes, the plane descended gracefully back to land.The Solar Impulse prototype had briefly taken off inspiron 5100 battery for the first time in December for a controlled 400-metre hop about one metre above the runway, but a full flight had been delayed for weeks until weather conditions improved.

“Everything worked as it should. The flight was very successful. We were able to fly the programme as planned and we are safe on the ground again,” said Scherdel.Following Wednesday’s test, the 70-strong team which had worked seven years on the Dell inspiron e1405 battery project is expecting to carry out other test flights to refine the prototype aircraft.

Organisers added that the te”The success of this first flight allows us to envisage the further programme with greater serenity,” he said.am will also construct the actual plane Dell inspiron 1526 battery that would undertake the world tour in five stages by 2013, and not 2012 as previously announced.The aircraft’s slender long wings are covered with about 12,000 solar cells that fuel its 400 kilogramme battery packs and the electric motors.

The prototype, which is slightly smaller than the plane that will undertake the round-the-world flight, has a wingspan comparable to that of an Airbus A340 airliner but weighs as little as a family-sized car at only 1,600 kilogrammes (3,527 pounds).Borschberg said the first inspiron b130 battery test flight was primarily aimed at testing the complex aircraft’s behaviour in the air.
