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.

The sweet revenge of Steve Jobs
Some say Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs is an egomaniac. Others have written that he’s a tyrant. And if it’s true, then so much the better — because if you can pitch a new product as Jobs does, no one should get in your way.
Oh, and he knows how to make his investors a buck too.
Over the past decade, Jobs has hijacked the global music business, turned Apple’s decrepit computer business into a juggernaut, and he is now threatening to steamroll through the global wireless industry with the iPhone. As a result, Apple’s shares have risen more than 38-fold over the past 10 years. By contrast, Microsoft, one of the most successful companies on the planet, has only managed to double its share price over the same stretch of time.
