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.
