Two leading U.S.-based technology developers -- IBM and Stanford University -- are partnering to launch an advanced research project to create new high-performance, low-power electronics in the emerging field of nanotechnology called "spintronics." A recent report by a leading technology analysis fi...
A new group committed to evangelizing grid computing formed this week, with its inaugural roster boasting such high-tech heavy hitters as Oracle, Sun Microsystems, EMC, NEC, Fujitsu Siemens and HP. But despite the group's support from so many big names, neither IBM nor Microsoft has joined this alli...
Paired with printing specialist Toppan, Sony has announced a new, Blu-Ray-based disc capable of holding 25 GB of high-definition programming through digital information's prehistoric precursor: paper. Sony said its new optical data storage medium, to be detailed next week at a storage industry confe...
Compare the vastness of the Internet with the microminiaturized world of subatomic structures, and you will get an idea of the potential that nanotechnology holds for industrial profit. Some analysts are predicting nanotechnology will become the biggest boost to the technology industry since the Wor...
By making final chip designs more flexible and opening its Power processor architecture to more partners and developers, IBM is pushing its microprocessor technology to the widening category of electronic devices that require chip customization. Calling it an "unprecedented step," IBM outlined its p...
Marking an industry first, Internet search giant Google has rolled out several new features: a search engine that uses individuals' personal preferences to tailor results; a service that allows users to receive results by daily or weekly e-mail; and an enhanced interface for its sites. After creatin...
When the managers of a Danish manufacturing company arrived at Microsoft's main campus, their expectations were as unclear as the weather outside. They wanted technology to eliminate the hassles created by their disparate business systems and streamline their operations. They just didn't know how --...
Researchers in North Carolina State University's Department of Computer Science have developed a new data transfer protocol for the Internet that makes today's high-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) connections seem lethargic. The protocol is named BIC-TCP, which stands for Binary Increase Congest...
A group of Europe's largest semiconductor companies and research centers has announced a project called NanoCMOS that will push developments in semiconductor materials, processes, architecture and interconnection through the use of nanotechnology. Participants in the project include Infineon, Philip...
Two new technologies from the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) -- a Xerox subsidiary and spinoff company that has produced laser printing, Ethernet and the graphical user interface, among other innovations -- promise to make wireless connections simpler and safer while giving today's mobile devices ...
At the RSA security conference in San Francisco Tuesday, chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices announced a new, security-enhanced Alchemy Au1550 network processor aimed at bolstering security without bogging down servers and applications. AMD said the Au1550 -- armed to support both SSL and IPsec virtual...
In what's been called the "Academy Awards for Engineers," four distinguished figures in personal computer history will be awarded the Charles Stark Draper Prize tonight at a dinner in Washington, D.C. Sharing the $500,000 prize will be Robert W. Taylor, Alan C. Kay, Butler W. Lampson and Charles P.
Beige boxes may still be the norm for lots of desktop computer equipment, but people have been fooling around with design ever since they began making machines. While computer design has, by and large, stuck to the basic need for a protective enclosure, there have been some outstanding ideas and som...
The idea of the Windows desktop PC in a small, mobile form is nothing new, and judging by the amount of notebook sales to consumers, the mobile form factor is in high demand. But the latest approach to the mini PC -- on display at this week's DEMO 2004 trade show in Seattle -- has the endorsement of...
Two new standards approved this week by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) are poised to provide consumers with content more appropriate for their needs, enabling computers to locate relevant information on the Internet more quickly than was ever possible before. The consortium disclosed Tuesday th...
