flexible future for smartphones and tablets like a paper





It looks like IT companies and wireless operators adhered to the principle, "the smaller, the better," even as Galaxy Tab tablet and Apple iPad two competing to be the thinnest. However, the researchers Human Media Lab Queen's University made ​​a surprise by developing the first interactive computer paper described as a versatile iPhone.



Roel Vertegaal, Human Media Lab Director stated they successfully developed a prototype "paper" world's first smartphone, called PaperPhone with forms such as thin paper sheets made ​​from plastic and can operate like a smartphone. This technology makes the smartphone into a flexible and very thin films with a diagonal E Ink display 9.5cm.



Despite having a thin and light design, PaperPhone able to make phone calls, play music, store dokuman, address, and photo. Larger version of this technology can be used to reduce some office needs, such as printers, paper and ink cartridge standard.



Do not expect a sharp graphical display or the ability to display movies or games on PaperPhone, because that can be displayed graphically displays E Ink is still limited.



Vertegaal said the technology is to make the office no longer requires paper, because it can all be stored digitally and you can accumulate these computers to each other just like paper. Vertegaal PaperPhone will present on May 10 at the conference the Association Computing Machinery Computer Human Interaction in Vancouver Canada. (Fahrur)

History of java

Is Software JAVA = Name Island in Indonesia?
Java is the first programming language that is not tied to a particular operating system. Applications written in Java will be able to run anywhere. This has eliminated problems that had made a headache for computer users, due to incompatibility between operating systems, versions, in applications and operating systems.
At first, SUN Microsystems, which is the home of Java, principally engaged in the development of the language used in electronic devices, in 1990. However, each product requires its own language. In other words, to control three devices, consumers must have three remote controls and understand how to use it for three devices. It is a challenge for Sun Microsystems to make it more advanced, which is the background of a new project called Java.
Finally in the spring of 1992, creates interactive handheld with no buttons, no keyboard, which has a width of 5inc LCD screen and is controlled with a touch of the hand. The gadget is called Star7 (* 7) with the ability for remote conrtol, audio player, radio, TV guide and various other entertainment. This product is manufactured using a programming language that they call with OAK, in front of the window because they work there is a large OAK trees. However, this product does not develop, because the chips used are very expensive to make and is very influential on the cost of production.

Betatapun good this product, the Green team has failed in its mission because these products may not be enjoyed by many. However, co-founder Bill Joy SUN saw an opportunity for the OAK language for use in the use of WEB in order to become more interactive and interesting. With a team that will be established under the name "The Live Oak" and was born with what we later know as the Java Applet.
When the name OAK want patented, it turns out that name has been used by other products (OAK Technology). So In January in 1995 the name officially changed to Java oak.
Why is this language called Java? What to do with an island in Indonesia called Java? In connection with this a lot of rumors circulating on the internet. including:At one point James was relaxing at a coffee shop and the name of the Java crossed fikirannya.Java name is taken from some people who are in the project were: James Gosling, Arthur Van Hoff, Andy Bechtolsheim.But somehow the name Java is not at all concerned about his Indonesian island of Java.
The true story of the Java Naming.Having been told by lawyers that the name of the OAK been used by another product, then held a meeting to determine what the proper name is used. This language is unbelievably unique, dynamic, mengasikan, revolutionary and has a very fast process, and then they wonder what the proper name is used that includes the essence of the word. One of them then shouted "its Java". Java in the English language as a means not only coffee, but Java has the meaning as Café has many kinds of coffee and everything was good. Just like the Java language that has many flavors that taste all these can be expressed with the word 'JAVA'
