Within one meter of Sandisk sparked with just about two megabytes per second. And within two meters even at 0.1 Mbps.

“Hyperloop” a supersonic speed transport of the future!

Think about the fifth mode of transport now you can travel a distance of 4500 km from New York to Los Angeles in 45 minutes without leaving the ground. The whimsical billionaire Elon Musk had last month announced via his Twitter account. On August 12, he will unveil the details of their proposal for a new revolutionary way of transportation “Hyperloop”. The system should provide the ability to travel at a record speed for minimum cost and minimal energy expenditure. The action plan of Hyperloop will be published on August 12th. Critical feedback for improvement would be appreciated from the technical experts and general public. The Hyperloop could resemble the device developed by the American company ET3. ET3 credit the fifth means of transport. The billionaire founder of electric carmaker Tesla Motors and private space exploration company SpaceX, published a 57-page document describing the project, which could connect Los Angeles San Francisco in 35 minutes. "Hyperloop consists of a low pressure tube with capsules, carried in low and high speeds along the length of the tube" explains the document. "The capsules are placed on pressurized air cushion", it added.

According to Musk, the transport system should be able to reach a speed of 1220 km / h and would be economically viable for any less than 1500 km link. And it is less vulnerable to earthquakes and accidents. During a conference call Monday, Mr. Musk spoke of "a new form of transportation, different from traditional train that would carry passengers and goods in its capsules in a tube mounted on pylons." "It is designed to be super light, while trains are incredibly heavy. This is more like a plane," he said. The feeling on board would be close to that of "an airplane. That would be sweet, like flying on the air." The billionaires ensure that its system is less vulnerable to earthquakes and less prone to accidents than the train or plane "because it cannot crush or derail." The project will greatly resembles the one imagined by ET3. Musk has repeatedly described the Hyperloop as "halfway between the Concorde, the electric gun and air hockey table”. It is similar with the following working examples; Concorde for speed, the electric gun as an example for propulsion and Air Hockey for travel conditions. Last Monday he unveiled the concept that has been developed by teams from Tesla and SpaceX and is based on technology developed in the two companies. It provides for a version of the electric motors used on the Tesla S model cars, which would create an electromagnetic field to propel the capsule.

The system is "halfway between the Concorde, the electric gun and air hockey table" - Elon Musk. The high pressure air between the walls of the inserted tube and the capsule creates a cushion of air with in the capsules allowing moving without friction. The air in the tube between each capsule prevents possible collisions. Thus eliminating friction force which can slow the vehicle, we are left with travel conditions similar to those found in orbit. Elon Musk therefore wants to start building a prototype capable of connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes. Either shuttle launched at 1100 km / h. Modest, as already dreaming of trips New York-Los Angeles in 45 minutes or New York to Beijing in 2 hours. Other advantages are Hyperloop would be protected from the weather. No turbulence due to bad weather or stop on the way due to snow or rain and flood. In addition, the capsules are inserted into the tube and powered on demand. That is to say that traveler could leave at any time without imposed schedule as for the train or plane. Musk also said that the main power is generated by solar panels placed directly onto the structure, making the network self-sufficient in energy.

Especially they consume very lesser energy. "What we want is a system where there are never any accidents, which is at least two times faster than a plane, which is powered by solar energy, and share as soon as you arrive, so that there is no waiting time nor accurate. “Said Elon Musk in September. Mr. Musk, opposite the high-speed train between Los Angeles and San Francisco - the construction of the first section has been approved by the authorities - believes that the project is much more economical. It estimates the cost of the link between the two cities to 6 billion - against 70-billion for the train - and anticipates the one-way price of $ 20 per passenger which is very cheap. Elon Musk has repeatedly stated that he did not intend to develop the project by them self, but could reconsider their decision, at least in part. "I tried to create at least one demonstrator," he acknowledged Monday. "I'm not trying to make tons of money with it, but I'd like the project and wish to make it into a reality and I think it would help if I was a model."

Why we love cloud storage

‘Cloud storage’ has been the real buzzword in computer circles in the past couple of years, but what exactly is it and why might you be missing out if you don’t use it yet? Cloud storage is essentially a way to store your documents and information online in a dedicated space, with an example of cloud software being Dropbox. It means you can take your documents out of the office system and save them somewhere externally.

The main benefit of this is that it perfectly aids flexible working, and means that if your employees don’t want to be chained to the office or need to carry out any work from home, they can easily log in to their cloud storage account for easy access to absolutely everything they could need. Otherwise, this means transferring everything to a USB stick or something similar, which obviously poses security risks if it goes missing and is inconvenient.

Secondly, cloud storage offers some degree of protection for your company and your information. This is because storing something on a central office-based system can turn out to be a disaster if the system goes down. Alternatively, if your office computers are hit by a virus, this can infiltrate the entire system and can corrupt all of your files, leaving you without customer information, company information and login details, and it can seriously compromise everyone’s security.

Another reason we love cloud storage is the fact that it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent emailing attachments backwards and forwards around the office, so it’s a very efficient way for everyone to access documents. It’s really useful if everyone can always access all of the documents, and makes it a lot easier to co-ordinate computer-based activities.

Taking all of your saved documents out of a computer system can also help to speed up the office computers. There will end up being a lot of information and documents saved on each computer and on the central system, and slow computers can be incredibly frustrating for office staff, so putting everything online will make the system much faster and more efficient.

Of course, cloud storage won’t work for everyone, and it can take a bit of getting used to. It might be a good idea to get yourself set up with a professional ITcompany. If you’re really lucky, they might be willing to transfer all of your important documents over for you so you can hit the ground running!

SATA Express for more speed for SSD and HDD

The general connector for hard drives, SSDs, and DVD or Blue ray drive is SATA. With the current SATA technology, up to 600 megabytes per second transfer - sounds like a lot, but it's for the fastest SSDs still it is too slow, and the now created SATA Express can transfer more than 700 to 900 megabytes per second. The SATA-IO, a coalition of major manufacturers, has now adopted SATA Express up to two gigabytes per second are possible. The name refers not only to express the increased pace, but also on the technology used. With SATA Express the transfer of data is now of PCI Express. In addition to higher speeds, there are also new standards for the size of SSDs - which simplifies the manufacturers of ultra books and tablet PCs, the development of new devices. Moreover, it would be easier in the future to replace an outgrown SSD by a model with the same dimensions and connections with higher capacity.

Whistle.im A best alternative for WhatsApp from Germany

"Secure Instant Messaging made in Germany. "That's the message of two students currently developing an encrypted alternative to WhatsApp. Two students from Germany found the flaws in Whatsapp and have the research project "Whistle.im" launched without the security flaws in it. Whistle.im is an instant messenger that protects all messages with a so-called 2048-bit end-to-end encryption. The messages to be transmitted will be encrypted on the device of the sender and decrypted only by the recipient. This eliminates server as intermediate stations on which the messages are present in plain text. To understand the encryption technology that enable developers on its website an insight into the cryptographic module used. When installing the application, the user must only provide limited privileges. Thus, for example, the app can read or store any contact. The current beta version so far only allowed sending encrypted text messages. Other functions such as the encrypted exchange of photos will be added shortly. The beta version for Android is available in Google Play. An iOS version will be released soon. In contrast to competitors Whistle.im is also available through the browser. As with all alternatives to the success of WhatsApp; the Whistle.im is in the upward trend.
