Intel contra-ataca tablets com ◄ULTRABOOKS► 31/05/2011

A Intel anunciou hoje, 31, durante a Computex, uma nova classe de notebooks mais leves e finos, denominados “Ultrabooks”. A tecnologia é uma estratégia adotada para aumentar a competitividade dentro do setor, após a surpresa causada pela popularidade dos tablets.

A empresa disse que eles “irão combinar o desempenho e recursos dos notebooks atuais com recursos similares aos dos tablets, com uma experiência de uso segura e ágil”. A Intel espera que o novo produto corresponda a 40% das vendas de notebooks. Os preços devem ser bons e acessíveis para grande parte de consumidores para que não fique limitado a um nicho específico.

A primeira safra dos aparelhos chegará às lojas para as compras de fim de ano. Mas é necessário tempo para que os sistemas evoluam. Os processadores são baseados nos da Intel Core, terão menos de 20 mm.

Coreanos criam tablet que dispensa eletricidade e baterias

Os tablets têm grande potencial para ser o protagonista de uma era digital. As pranchetas que ganharam fama com o iPad pretendem alcançar o mercado de maneira a substituir parte do acessórios e livros usados tradicionalmente. Diante disso, três designers coreanos desenvolveram uma versão ecologicamente correta do computador.

O trio formado por Jun-se Kim, Yonggu Do e Eunha Seo desenvolveu um iPad do futuro. O conceito não utiliza os sistemas de eletricidade convencionais ou baterias e é alimentado pelo toque, ou seja, ao invés de tomadas a pessoas precisam apenas tocar na tela para que ela funcione, tarefa simples já que os tablets utilizam tecnologia “touchscreen”.

A tecnologia é possível graças à piezoeletricidade, que é a capacidade que alguns cristais têm para gerar eletricidade ao serem pressionados. Assim os criadores colocaram uma camada de filme piezoelétrico na superfície do tablet, que ao ser pressionado torna possível a visualização das funções do computador.

Temporada de furacões no Atlântico será menos ativa que a de 2010		Mon, 30 May 2011 12:02:45 -0300
A temporada de furacões do Atlântico que começa nesta quarta-feira (30) indica que será menos ativa que do a de 2010, mas os Estados Unidos, Caribe, América Central e México devem preparar-se diante da previsão de risco mais destrutivo das tempestades e ciclones. Durante os seis meses da temporada, até 30 de novembro, espera-se a formação de 12 a 18 tempestades, das quais entre seis e dez poderiam se transformar em furacões e entre três e seis seriam de grande intensidade com ventos superiores aos 178 km/h, conforme a Administração Nacional de Atmosfera e Oceanos dos EUA (NOAA). "Constantemente digo às pessoas que o número de tempestades não significa muito. Utilizar as previsões para determinar se devem preparar-se ou não é que o errado, sempre é preciso preparar-se", disse à Agência Efe Bill Read, diretor do Centro Nacional de Furacões (NHC). Ele lembrou que na temporada na qual o furacão Andrew arrasou o sul do estado da Flórida em 1992, "só se formaram seis tempestades". "Andrew", de categoria cinco - a máxima na escala de intensidade Saffir-Simpson de um a cinco -, foi o primeiro sistema em agosto daquele ano em uma temporada pouco ativa e que deixou 23 mortos nos EUA e Bahamas, além de danos superiores a US$ 26,5 bilhões.

The manager of most of the electricity in the Pacific Northwest is running such a surplus of power from hydroelectric dams that it put wind farms on notice Friday they may be shut down as early as this weekend.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) - Google Inc. is throwing $55 million to the wind in California.


The Mountain-View-based Internet search giant says it's partnering with Citibank to help finance the Alta Wind Energy Center wind farm in the Tehachapi Mountains.


The Los Angeles Times reports Google and Citibank are each plunking down $55 million.


The Kern County wind farm will generate 1.5 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power 450,000 homes through Southern California Edison.


The Alta Wind project is being built in phases. Segments are already generating 720 megawatts of energy and another 300 megawatts goes online by the end of the year.

4.2 Earthquakes Shakes Hawthorne

HAWTHORNE, Nev. (AP) -- Another series of small earthquakes shook Hawthorne on Friday, including one that registered a magnitude 4.2

Mineral County sheriff's dispatcher Samantha Corwin says the 12:45 p.m. temblor prompted no phone calls to the department and caused no damage. She says she felt "kind of a rocking motion ... like a swing."

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake was followed over the next hour by six quakes between magnitudes of 1.2 and 1.7. Each was centered about eight to nine miles southwest of Hawthorne.

Scientists at the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno say there have been about 10 quakes of magnitude 4 and greater so far in the sequence of thousands of smaller temblors.

The laboratory is monitoring the activity 150 miles south of Reno.

Millions of Europeans and Asians at risk from 'deadly tremors in unmapped earthquake zones' | Mail Online

Millions of people in Europe, the Middle-East and Asia are at risk from deadly tremors which can strike out of the blue in unmapped earthquake zones, scientists warned last night.

Attention should be focused on these regions, which lie within the interior of continents, instead of well known earthquake 'hotspots', according to two leading experts.

They stress that 'interior zone' earthquakes kill far more people than those in recognised danger areas on continental edges such as Japan and California.
