Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

Recently intel has introduced many exciting feature to their Intel microarchitecture, one of such powerful technology is Intel Turbo Boost Technology which enables processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.

This technology provides a dramatic performance improvement in both multi-threaded and single threaded workloads along with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology). Intel Turbo Boost Technology is only activated when the Operating System (OS) requests the highest processor performance state which means the amount of time a processor spend on Intel Turbo Boost Technology state is almost depend on the workload user needs and the operating environment.The maximum frequency of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is dependent on the number of active cores.

several upper limits of boost technology are:
* Number of active cores
* Estimated current consumption
* Estimated power consumption
* Processor temperature

according to intel,it says that when user demand additional performance,

"the processor frequency will dynamically increase by 133 MHz on short and regular intervals until the upper limit is met or the maximum possible upside for the number of active cores is reached. Conversely, when any of the limits are reached or exceeded, the processor frequency will automatically decrease by 133 MHz until the processor is again operating within its limits."

Cisco MXE 3000 Series (Media Experience Engines)

The Cisco Media Experience Engine 3000 is a media processing platform which automates the media production process.According to Cisco, with a single,streamlined workflow, you may

•Choose your input media from file.

•Apply preprocessing to prepare the input media for encoding.

•Encode input to produce high-quality streaming video in popular formats.

•Encode input to produce broadcast server-compatible video in several other popular formats.

•Distribute the media output to multiple destinations via copy, FTP, and HTTP post.


The ability to automate the streaming media workflow and reuse the video knowledge of others in the form of a saved set of tasks and instructions has given a great power over other products.

Basically, Cisco MXE 3000 is able to perform following specific tasks:

•The Cisco MXE 3000 transforms analog and digital media to enable:

Distribution of content in any format for playback on broadcast, Web, or portable wireless equipment

Content workflow between heterogeneous components

•Integrates many 3rd party codecs into well-defined workflows:

Automate encoding into different formats

HP introduces new battry for Laptops

HP technologies has planned to offer a new power efficient battery for their existing notebooks, which charges much faster than the regular battery and it is expected to last tree times longer !!

IBM collobaration with latest World Community Grid project

IBM and researchers from Harvard University are working together to invent a inexpensive and efficient solar cell base on the organic materials. Such effort will require huge computational power due to thousands of organic materials available and each of such material has to be analyzed for various combinations.The principal investigator and a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, at Harvard. "It would take us about 100 days of computational time to screen each of the thousands of compounds for electronic properties".

Therefore researches has decided to get the support of World Community Grid which enables harnessing the power of hundreds of thousands of idle PCs exist around the world.The solar power project is the latest for World Community Grid, which harnesses the power of more than 410,000 members and more than 1 million computers.Yet with World Community Grid's free computing power, augmented by cloud computing, the project is estimated to complete in two years what would have taken 22 years to run on a regular scientific cluster."

Google TO-DO List - Never miss tasks again!!

Google has come up with another cool feature… a TO-DO List which is something that I was thinking last few weeks (amazing !!). As the Google convention, the current version of the TO-DO List is available in the Lab section named as ‘Tasks’. Once you enable, it will appear under the Contact menu in your Google interface.

Google has included number of handy tools (as you can see below), where you can even create separate lists, adding dates, filtering and more. Thus you don’t have to even click on a button to save your task, Google will auto save them on behalf of you.

Another cool feature of this tool is to; it has given you the option to add your emails directly to your TO-Do list. You can find this option under ‘More Actions’ menu.

Beware of Koobface - Still in Action.....

While the owner of a website can take steps to ensure that there is no security holes to sneak worms into their websites, there is absolutely no guarantee way from preventing malicious code running on client computers from abusing stolen website credentials. This is an exact practical problem has been facing by the facebook authority for recent months and it became absolutely critical with the actions of most recent computer worm called “koobface”.

The koobface worm, originally detected by the Kaspersky Labs in August, has been again increasingly spreading on Facebook in recent week. As of Kaspersky, this how it works :

“The messages and comments include texts such as Paris Hilton Tosses Dwarf On The Street; Examiners Caught Downloading Grades From The Internet; Hello; You must see it!!! LOL. My friend catched you on hidden cam; Is it really celebrity? Funny Moments and many others.

" ... include links to http://youtube.[skip].pl. If the user clicks on this link, s/he is redirected to http://youtube.[skip].ru, a site which purportedly contains a video clip. If the user tries to watch it, a message appears saying that s/he needs the latest version of Flash Player in order to watch the clip. However, instead of the latest version of Flash Player, a file called codecsetup.exe is downloaded to the victim machine; this file is also a network worm. ”

It simply says that you are misguided by a bogus chain letter (in almost all cases, the sender is pretended to be one of your friend) asking you to install a latest version of software and instead of making your computer more secure, your computer become another zombie (your computer will be controlled by a remote person without your knowledge) in the internet. At the moment it installed, it will start reading your cookies and start sending infected messages to your friends and thus it also preventing you to searching in well-known search engines (google,yahoo) and directs you to less-known search engines.

Currently thousands of facebook users are already affected by this worm, however Facebook still fails to guarantee to protects the personal information of 120+ million of its users. Some of the Facebook responses are

1. deleting content generated by the worm (Facebook says they have “again contained” it) and spammy chain letters
2. posting updates on the status of security issues to the Facebook Security Page and publishing best practices for users
3. blocking Wall posts that contain links to known phishing sites
4. improving its automated systems to automatically detect abuse on the site more quickly
5. pursuing many of the perpetrators

How you can survive ?

As you may have now understood, koobface is really hard to recognize directly (since worm appear to be a message received from one of your friend). Therefore it is advised not to share your passwords with others and to never open unexpected mails even if they come from your friends. Thus, Facebook recommends always use latest anti-virus software which we already know since our childhood :).
