You think the coolest way to play music is through your iPhone? Better think again!
A self-running record player shaped in the form of a red sphere will soon get its place in the music scene. Ok, futuristic or fictional as it may seems but hey, if you like to play classical drama music then pump that energy high cause music hovering in the air.



A Korean designer rhea jeong has sent an images of her 'void' LP player. The record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control
system that carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. The red sphere contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record, bringing the music to life.

I know levitation of object is only possible (???) in paramagnetic ones and if this gadget gets its way then let me spin my head up high with it.

Web developers and web designers’ alike love to fancy out how fast their internet connection, and so the faster the speed is – the faster the work done. But relying on our sole broadband speed connection doesn’t fit the job for our clients end, who and most don’t have such broadband connections.

How do we measure up our download speed in order for both developer and clients have the same benefit of the doubt?

Use Google’s Page Speed Tool, the latest tool for measuring how well optimized your pages are and where there’s any room for improvement. Yup, this tool seems like a competition for Yahoo's YSlow.

Anyways, to use Page Speed, ironically, its only available for FireFox with Firebug add-on installed, it’s quick and easy after you have downloaded and installed Page Speed.

Look at the speed test of my site (image below), it provides me with some suggestions on what I could improve on in an easy-to-analyze fashion.



Hoping web developers and web designers’ are interested, Google also offers a Web Performance Best Practices guide that explains how and why Page Speed makes certain recommendations.

A GPS device in shoes is now into development specifically for Alzheimer patients. The GPS device is built-in into shoes that could track down seniors who suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Patients sometimes called “Wanderers”, as they keep wandering around in dangerous places such as the bus stop that could lead into a car accident.
 
Question is…”Isn’t Alzheimer patients forget to wear their shoes?”

An assistant professor at George Mason University, Andrew Carle, who served as an advisor on the project, said Alzheimer's victims tend to remove unfamiliar objects placed on them but getting dressed is one of the last types of memory they retain.

The shoes are being developed by GTX Corp., which makes miniaturized Global Positioning Satellite tracking and location-transmitting technology, and Aetrex Worldwide, a footwear manufacturer.

The technology is so proficient that it can provide the location of the individual wearing the shoes within 9m (30 feet), anywhere on the planet!

Once a wanderer crossed a programmed boundary then an alert is sent to a cell phone, home or office computer.

The device will help authorized family members, friends, or caretakers reduce their stress and anguish by enabling them to locate their loved ones instantly with the click of a mouse.

Although AMD is crowned as the late-boomer for upgrading their products, this could be the right time they unveil their new processor - ahead of schedule.

Better yet, they recently bring out the world’s first six-core server processor! This processor chip has up to 34 percent more performance-per-watt over the previous generation quad-core processors  in the exact same platform for a two-, four- and eight-socket servers. Over the next few weeks, systems will begin to creep out from Cray, Dell, HP, IBM and Sun Microsystems, and support from motherboard and infrastructure partners will follow suit. Also of note, HE, SE and EE versions of the six-core AMD Opteron processor are planned for the second half of 2009.

This is indeed the best time to upgrade – the new AMD has a six-core processor in a very low-cost with power-efficient DDR2 memory architecture. And the chip should be available to consumers by the end of this month.

I think it’s better late that sorry eh? Great Job AMD!
