World’s tallest building just got taller

The world’s tallest building just got taller — the Burj Dubai tower in the booming Gulf emirate of Dubai has now reached a height of 688 metres (2,257 feet) and is still growing, developers Emaar said on Tuesday.

It now boasts 160 storeys, the highest skyscraper in the world, Emaar said in a statement.

The skyscraper, set for completion in September 2009, is one of several mega projects taking shape in Dubai, which is a member of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) federation.

Burj Dubai, which was started in 2004, overtook Taiwan’s Taipei 101 tower as the world’s tallest building when it reached 512 metres (1,533 feet) in April 2007.

It became the tallest man-made structure on the planet, when Emaar announced in April that it has surpassed the 629-metre (2,063-foot) KVLY-TV mast in the United States.

Its eventual height remains a closely-guarded secret, though there is speculation it will reach a final height of 900 metres (2,953 feet).

Crime-fighting robots with access to citizen databases will be patrolling the streets by 2084, according to an academic at the University of Sheffield.

Robotics expert Professor Noel Sharkey predicts that humanoid robots, that are able to arrest people, will have access to integrated databases of information on British citizens, including bank accounts, tax and movements, to enable them to identify who people are.

The “superior knowledge robots” will, according to Sharkey, be able to use their “super strength and inability to feel pain” to arrest criminals.

They will have human features and will be able to detect weapons including guns, knives and explosives, and recognise drunks and aggressive behaviour in large areas.

By 2070, police will also have the aid of autonomous police cars, which will be able to recognise speeding cars, identify license plates and automatically take fines from bank accounts and add points on driving licences.

The project examined the future of the robot in the UK and how it will be developed to aid police. The research was based on recent robotic developments around the world, and on current ideas and trends from robotics experts.

A firm of London lawyers claims it’s “stepping up the fight” against people who illegally share computer games.

We revealed in May how legal firm Davenport Lyons was demanding in excess of £600 from people accused of illegally sharing a single game.

At the time, Davenport Lyons refused to discuss the issue with PC Pro. Now it’s hired PR agency Bell Pottinger Business & Brand to trumpet its crackdown.

The firm says it will launch proceedings

against 100 people from the UK “suspected of illegally uploading a number of copyright works.”

It further claims “several thousand names and addresses have already been ordered by the High Court of London to be released by the internet providers concerned” and that another application waiting to be issued is demanding an additional 6,000 addresses.

Until now, there has been precious little evidence that Davenport Lyons was prepared to follow through on its demands for payment if accused file-sharers refused to pay up (read our investigation here).

However, the company claims a recent decision at the Central London County Court resulted in four people being ordered to make an interim payment of £750 and pay costs, in advance of a final judgement. PC Pro has been so far unable to verify these claims.

Daveport Lyons’ clients include Topware, makers of Dream Pinball 3D, and German game company Zuxxex.

Amazing technology from Japan
but can you guess what it is ?

Look closely and guess what they could be…

Are they pens with cameras?

Any wild guesses? No clue yet?

Ladies and gentlemen… congratulations!
You’ve just looked into the future… yep that’s right!
You’ve just seen something that will replace your PC in the near future.

Here is how it works:

In the revolution of miniature computers, scientists have made great developments with bluetooth technology.. .

This is the forthcoming computers you can carry within your pockets .

This ‘pen sort of instrument’ produces both the monitor as well as the keyboard on any flat surfaces from where you can carry out functions you would normally do on your desktop computer.

One laptop is lost every two days by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) with 659 reported stolen and 89 lost by the department in the past four years.

The 659th stolen laptop belonging to an MoD official and containing sensitive information was taken from the Britannia Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool on Thursday.

An MoD spokesman said the laptop was encrypted and Merseyside Police were investigating the theft.

Last week defence secretary Des Browne issued revised laptop figures after “anomalies in the reporting process” were discovered.

He confirmed that 658 laptops had been stolen and 89 lost since 2004, almost double the previous figure released by the MoD. Only 32 have been recovered. The latest theft brings the total number of computers lost by the MoD in the past four years to 748,

The ministry also revealed last week that 121 of its USB memory sticks have been either lost or stolen since 2004.

Information on three was secret and 19 carried data classified as restricted.

Defence minister Bob Ainsworth gave the information on the memory sticks in response to a parliamentary question tabled by Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather.

“It seems this government simply cannot be trusted with keeping sensitive information safe. It is frightening to think that secret MoD information can be lost or stolen,” she said.

The MoD has recalled 20,000 laptops to be encrypted. The move comes after last month’s Burton report found that although MoD policies and procedures are “generally fit for purpose”, there are a number of areas in which it “needs to do better” to protect personal data.

Yesterday, there was an electricity flictuation and my computer’s 250gb harddrive stopped working. The boot partition of the harddrive damaged due to short circuit and all data was lost.

I bought a new 500gb (Western Digital - SATA II) harddrive today and then recovered my data from the damaged Harddrive using Easy Recovery software.

IBM (NYSE:IBM) snared the top three spots in the TOP500 Supercomputer record book and had a total of 210 systems on the list, the most of any upper computer vendor, the company said Wednesday.

IBM also had the most aggregate performance on the list with 5.6 petaflops—48 percent of the total—and the most systems in the top 10, top 50 and top 100.

The official results were reported during the International Supercomputing Conference in Dresden, Germany, where the bi-annual listing of the World’s TOP500 Supercomputer sites was released.

Leading the pack was IBM’s much- ballyhooed Roadrunner supercomputer, which operates at 1 petaflop or 1,000 trillion calculations per second.

The speed demon was built for the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration to ensure the safety and reliability of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile.

Roadrunner is powered by 12,240 IBM PowerXCell 8i Cell Broadband Engines—the specialty chips that power popular video game consoles. In addition, 6,562 AMD (NYSE:AMD) Opteron dual-core processors perform basic compute functions on Roadrunner, which free the cell chips for the math-intensive calculations.

Taking second place in the fastest computer category is the IBM Blue Gene/L system at Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California. The supercomputer clocks in at 478 teraflops or 478 trillion calculations per second.

IBM’s Team Blue Gene held the No. 3 spot with a 450 teraflop performance from the Blue Gene/P system. The supercomputer is housed at Argonne National Lab in Chicago.

IBM said it also has the most power-efficient systems. They are the IBM QS22 PowerXCell 8i-based supercomputers at IBM Germany and Fraunhofer; and the Los Alamos system.

According to the Top500 rankings, IBM also has the fastest machine in Europe, the Blue Gene/P at Juelich Research Centre in Germany.

The TOP500 Supercomputer Site is compiled and published by supercomputing experts Jack Dongarra from the University of Tennessee; Erich Strohmaier and Horst Simon of NERSC/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; and Hans Meuer of the University of Mannheim, Germany

Yahoo!’s free online email service is to grow new tentacles with the company planning to add two domains alongside its existing “@yahoo.com” addresses. The struggling internet firm said it is to introduce “@ymail.com” and “@rocketmail.com” to give people who use its service a better choice of Yahoo! email address options.

According to industry stats, the company has about 266 million peeps across the globe with a Yahoo! email address, making it the most popular web-based email in the world, ahead of Microsoft’s Hotmail and Google’s Gmail.”We recognise that people want an email address that reflects who they are,” Yahoo! Mail vice president John Kremer told Agence France-Presse.
