Novabackup10
This version enables local and online data protection coupled with image based disaster recovery.Novabackup10 gives data protection and disaster recovery software for windows based PCs and servers.
Novabackup10 enables users to create backup and store data locally or online and even one year online storage account. Previous versions only supports local backup to hard drives, tape drives, CD/DVD/blu ray disc burners and network attached storage (NAS) devices. This version enables online backup capabilities via FTP to corporate servers or to other online storage services.
Novabackup10 is the all in one solution a major data protection software provider to offer this level of flexibility in protecting users critical information.
Novabackup10 include disk image recovery, which takes a snapshot of the entire system to protect and preserve data in the event of a disaster allowing recovery from a local or network source and the ability to backup, copy or mirror data to FTP or online storage accounts.
Data protection applications fix users to back up to local backup devices and force them to use proprietary backup technology. Novabackup10 enables users to choose not only whether to backup locally or online, but also the flexibility to backup in the format that best suits the users needs.
To manage a local backup and an online backup service can be time consuming and frustrating for many computer users. Novabackup 10 easily combining both backup methodologies into one software package to manage a backup.This offers users more flexibility and peace of mind by creating on premise backups for quick file restores and off-premise backups of critical files in the case of a catastrophe that wipes out the computer and the local backup.
Intel driving Linux infotainment systems to cars
Now we going to use linux in our cars instead of in our computers, our phones, our Wi-Fi equipment, our TiVos. Intel have been working with automotive industries to advance in vehicle infotainment with linux-based, interoperable hardware and software called Open Infotainment Platforms (OIP) systems.
It make possible for car manufacturers to bring new infotainment products to meet consumer demands.The automobile industry foccuss towards adding media and information in cars.
Car manufacturers want to extend the media digital experience into the automobile and making it so that these devices are always connected to the Internet.
These devices will use Linux, and support the full TCP/IP network. Intel plans on using mobile WiMax for internet connectivity. The idea is that lots of people will bring their mobile devices into their cars. If the devices have the same architecture as those in the dashboard, users will be able to transfer music, maps, and other data between cars and mobile devices.
Consumers expect a different environment in their car. Sure, people still buy cars because of mileage and brand, but now they also want up-to-date infotainment.
Besides built-in GPS for example, find the closest pizza place that’s still open with your built-in GPS/MID.

Toshiba eyes fuel cells, cell-based TV by 2009
Toshiba plans to begin direct methanol fuel cells and television based on the powerful cell microprocessor in large amount.
Toshiba has been developing the fuel cells and cell chip and their readiness for commercial use coupled with continuing advances in the company’s chip making expertise are expected to be key drivers behind growth in toshiba’s digital products and electronic devices divisions.
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) produce electricity from a reaction between methanol, water and air. The only by-products of the reaction are a small amount of water vapor and carbon dioxide, so the fuel cells are typically seen as a much greener form of energy than traditional batteries. A big advantage of DMFCs is that they can be replenished with a new cartridge of methanol in seconds.
The spurs engine is a coprocessor that’s a chip designed to sit alongside a main processor in a system and handle heavy jobs like real-time graphics processing and video manipulation. Inside the chip there are four processor cores of the same type used in the cell chip and a hardware codec for encoding and decoding high-definition MPEG2 and H.264 video streams. Toshiba said it will launch a laptop PC that features the spurs engine.
Toshiba also planning to launch a new 1.8-inch solid-state disk (SSD) drive using multilevel NAND flash memory chips. Such chips can hold two bits of data in each cell, doubling the storage capacity within a given space.Toshiba to store up to 128G bytes in the first drives using multilevel memory.
