This christmas season , click team have tested some of the coolest gadgets around,
Sonos music system
Flip mino
Vuzix OLED video glasses
Sonos Music System
Once you have downloaded music onto your MP3 player,
you will find it hard to play it around the house,
but now Sonos music system will allow you to play it in several rooms,
just place a white box in each room and you can stream tracks wirelessly to
different rooms.
The wireless controller features a good-size colour screen and gives you access to all your music, and it is one of the few non-Apple things to feature a scroll wheel.
Flip Mino
Its a clever budget cam with 60 minutes of recording time.
While this is not the highest-spec camcorder around, it works well in low light and is certainly great for capturing short clips for sites such as YouTube.
it makes sense that the resolution is only 640 by 480, and the internal memory is 2GB.
Video Glasses
The Vuzix OLED Video glasses, plugging the glasses into a iPod and making yourself comfortable you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the image.
These are first video glasses to make use of OLED which is reflected in the superior quality of image they pump out (pretty good contrast ratio, which makes all the difference).
The only draw back is, well, you could not call these glasses stylish.

Virtual world with real purposes
There is a new creation, 'virtual berlin' which allows a person to be in two places at the same time, as 20km of the city has been replicated into an online world.
At the end of 2008, 50'000 buildings in the german capital are expected to have been copied into the virtual world.This may be a rather strange idea especially for people who are so used to have their feet on the ground.
"While Second Life and others worlds offer some stylised versions of cities - Twinity uses the 3D mapping data currently used for things like satnav and Google Earth," said Jochen Hummel, the chief executive of Metaversum - owner of Twinity
The closest thing to wandering around the globe is through 3D mapping applications such as google earth that give a snapshot of places.

Harnessing the power of 'clouds'
A computer bought only a couple of years ago cannot handle the very latest software, but worry nomore there could be an answer to the problem only if you are connected to the internet.
'The cloud is the latest buzzword doing the rounds in the tech world.'
as the world starts to store more and more media in digital form , documents photos music or videos.. moving it into the cloud offers unparalleled flexibility.
Its not a new idea just a new name, many companie are getting excited, the cloud offers storage and prcessing power that can be accessed anywhere any time.

How biometrics could change security
Recent losses of personal data has increased the want for better security by governments and companies,biometrics is all about using measurable biological characteristics, eg. fingerprint or iris pattern to identify an individual.Now even the smallest thing as the way somebody walks can be used to identify someone.
Researchers at the University of Southampton have won funding from UK and US governments to establish this form of biometrics.
They claim their gait recognition system is 99% accurate when identifying people.

Sporting nanobot to inspire kids
In Zurich a team of developers have invented a tiny football playing robot to spark young peoples interest in nanotechnology, and hopefully this will lead to inventing medical treatments.
Its about the width of three hairs, its made out of nickel and its powered by magnetic fields, it plays football with an even small ball a 'nanoball' and is able to dodge microscopic "defenders" before scoring into the world's smallest goal.
"It's hopefully the start of a long-term competition in trying to make nanotechnology and microtechnology that can get kids excited in the classroom about this stuff," said professor Bradley Nelson.

In south africa, the popularity of mobile phones is helping to tackle HIV and aids in the nation,
project Masiluleke will send one million free text messages a day to push people to be tested and treated.
In the country every year, Approximately 350,000 people die of Aids-related diseases, the United Nations estimates that there are six million people living with HIV in South Africa today.
"South Africa is the epicentre of the global HIV epidemic," said Zinny Thabethe, an HIV activist who is part of the project.

'Keyboard sniffers'
Computer criminals could soon be looking at what people are typing by analysing the electomagnetic signals prodced by every key press.
The security researchers have invented four attacks that work on a wide variety of computer keyboards, the results led the researchers to declare keyboards were "not safe to transmit sensitive information".
The EPFL students tested 11 different keyboard models that connected to a computer via either a USB or a PS/2 socket. The attacks they developed also worked with keyboards embedded in laptops.

Details on how to hack oyster cards revealed online
The world's most popular smartcards have been hacked, details have been published online, the cards are used in building entry systems and are used on londons travel network.
Sensitive data stored on the Mifare Classic chip is protected by a unique number that acts as a key. When the chip, or a card bearing it, is placed near a reader it transmits and receives information based on its key. The security of the system depends on the key remaining secret.
In March Prof Jacobs and his colleagues discovered a flaw in the chip's design which makes those keys easy to calculate and copy.

Plagiarism
The use of internet has increased student plagiarism , students today usually find out information through the internet and then will interpret it as their own.
Its very common, that students will find out answers on the internet and will just copy and paste it.
They believe that noone will notice, but they do, also its so obvious when somebody starts speaking normal then they start coming out with some big words, its just so obvious its not their work.

SMS BANKING
SMS banking is a technology-enabled service offering from banks to its customers, permitting them to operate selected banking services over their mobile phones using SMS messaging.
SMS banking services are operated using both push and pull messages. Push messages are those that the bank chooses to send out to a customer's mobile phone, without the customer initiating a request for the information. Typically push messages could be either Mobile marketing messages or messages alerting an event which happens in the customer's bank account, such as a large withdrawal of funds from the ATM or a large payment using the customer's credit card, etc. (see section below on Typical Push and Pull messages).
Another type of push message is One-time password (OTPs). OTPs are the latest tool used by financial and banking service providers in the fight against cyber fraud. Instead of relying on traditional memorized passwords, OTPs are requested by consumers each time they want to perform transactions using the online or mobile banking interface. When the request is received the password is sent to the consumer’s phone via SMS. The password is expired once it has been used or once its scheduled life-cycle has expired.
Pull messages are those that are initiated by the customer, using a mobile phone, for obtaining information or performing a transaction in the bank account. Examples of pull messages for information include an account balance enquiry, or requests for current information like currency exchange rates and deposit interest rates, as published and updated by the bank.
The bank’s customer is empowered with the capability to select the list of activities (or alerts) that he/she needs to be informed. This functionality to choose activities can be done either by integrating to the internet banking channel or through the bank’s customer service call centre.

EC call for 'universal' broadband
Brussels is considering making broadband access available for all.
The fast growth of broadband has led the European Commission to bring forward a review of the basic telecoms services Europeans can expect.
Current statistics suggest about 36% of households in EU member nations have high-speed net access.
When a majority of EU citizens are using a telecoms service, EC rules dictate that it becomes one every European should be able to enjoy.
Basic access
"High-speed internet is the passport to the Information Society and an essential condition for economic growth," said Viviane Reding, EU Telecoms Commissioner in a statement announcing the review.

New vision for computing in Africa
Dan Simmons visits a project in Kenya that helps blind and partially sighted users compete in a jobs market that values computer skills.
In the slums of Kibera, an area of Nairobi, it is hard enough getting a job if you live here and are able-bodied.
After shipping more than 120,000 refurbished PCs to the developing world, Computer Aid now wants its kit to be usable by all - so, working alongside local experts, it is testing out adaptive technologies.

Gordon Browns speech
Gordon Brown has staked his claim to be the only man to steer Britain through tough economic times saying: "This is no time for a novice."
In a speech to Labour's conference, he said the Tories could not be trusted to run the economy and vowed Labour would not stop fighting for a "fair society".
The prime minister was under pressure to reassert his authority over the party and bury talk of a leadership challenge.
He told Labour rebels it was their "duty" to focus on the challenges facing the country rather than internal party rows.
The theme running through the speech was fairness and he pledged to create "a Britain of fair chances for all and fair rules applied to all".
He repeated his plan to extend free nursery places for all two-year-olds over the next 10 years - and he pledged to enshrine in law Labour's promise to end child poverty.
He highlighted a £300m plan to offer free computers and internet access for more than a million children from low income families to boost their chances in the jobs market.

Cost of texting abroad being cut down
Britons sending text messages from abroad could see the cost come down by two-thirds if EU regulators get their way.
Officials will try to make the price of texting from abroad more in line with doing it at home so people are not "ripped-off".
It comes after mobile phone companies failed to take voluntary action over the issue.
A year ago, Brussels slashed the cost of using mobiles abroad. Now it is targeting high charges for sending and receiving texts from another country.
EU Telecoms Commissioner Viviane Reding says the 2.5 billion text messages sent every year by roaming customers in EU member states cost over 10 times more than domestic messages.
The average cost of a roaming text message in the EU between October 2007 and March 2008 was 29 euro cents - 23p - but can be as high as 80 cents (63p) for travellers from Belgium.
UK customers pay around 15 cents (12p) for a message domestically.

SMS
SMS (short message service) is a type of communication, it allows the user to type quickly and efficiently and still being able to understand what they are saying. Texting is used world wide today, when it first was invented, the people who invented it thought it wouldnt be popular, but they were wrong as the years went by SMS took off and became a world wide thing, people text everyday to people all over the world.
SMS as used on modern handsets was originally defined as part of the GSM series of standards in 1985 as a means of sending messages of up to 160 characters (including spaces), to and from GSM mobile handsets. Since then, support for the service has expanded to include alternative mobile standards such as ANSI CDMA networks and Digital AMPS, as well as satellite and landline networks. Most SMS messages are mobile-to-mobile text messages, though the standard supports other types of broadcast messaging as well.

My Oppinion on E-Safety
I think its so stupid, fair enough for primary schools and maybe younger secondary year, but as for 6th form students, its pathetic, they should be trusted with what they are looking at on the internet.
Photography students in particular, if they are looking for a well known respected photographer, no doubt it will be blocked, why you say?I have no clue why, the internet at school is pretty useless nowadays, as nearly everything that we search is blocked.
By doing this, I really feel there is no point for internet at school, because we can never find anything unless its from the BBC or someother site. But this is not going to help me if i need to find out facts or photographers etc.
