Grammar check technology from Microsoft

September 7th 2006 14:38


Many of us are using the grammar tool of word to check our documents. The tool is helpful but has too many limitations, one of these limitations is that verb tenses in foreign languages are not well reviewed……Well Microsoft has developed a new technology that would allow a user to input an infinitive or non-infinitive form of a verb. When a user inputs a non-infinitive form of the verb, the software would identify the corresponding base form of the verb. It then would use that base to display the forms for the verb.

Microsoft filed an application on August 31 to the US Patent and Trademark Office, looking forward to patent a “Verb conjugation system”. Clearly this new development will be very helpful for all those persons that depend on the grammar check tool when writing in a foreign language. The new technology has the potential to become a product on its own or be integrated to the office suit as an additional tool.

The inventors are Eric J. Voetberg, Jinsong Yu, Mark D. Stumpf and Robert E. Parkin, employees of Microsoft.

Imagine data transmission 50 times faster than the current WiMAX technology and 30 times faster than a broadband connection. Well, the new 4G technology for mobile phones can make this possible. Despite all this benefits it’s unlikely that the new technology becomes a standard before 2008.

A further development of the 4G platform will be based on the extension of the WiMAX platform because both platforms use orthogonal frequency-division multiple access.

A key benefit of this new platform is that data transmission will not be disturbed even when users are travelling at 75 miles per hour. The companies behind the development of the 4G technology are Samsung and NTT DoCoMo, in the US Nextel Corp is a likely partner.

Sleek slide out speakers from Samsung

September 4th 2006 14:34


This new portable device from Samsung has a lot of attitude with a set of built-in slide-out speakers that you can use to share your music with your nearby friends. The gadget is a flash-memory based MP3 player with OLED LCD display, and a cutting edge one-button design. The device is called K5 and with this thing you can carry your party every where.

According to Samsung: “The K5's slide-out speakers deliver rich, smooth audio and its sliding out speakers upholds the K5's slick look. The K5 is able to sit perfectly on any flat surface providing the ultimate portable shareable scenario”

The simple but effective interface makes the listening to music experience more enjoyable. The K5 also allows users to personalize JPEG images to display while a song is playing. The gadget has a battery that last 30 hours using earphones or 6 hours using the speakers. Following the market trend the K5 supports subscription services such as Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo, and Urge.

The device will be available on September 10th, the price will be US$209.99 for the 2GB or US$259.99 for the 4GB device.

The market is now saturated by portable devices; hence competition is more based in innovation. The K5 with its sleek design is a real eye catcher.

Maybe is not good for an expert user like you...but think about the small businesses performing dull tasks. That will be a good cost reduction.
