- Intel envisions a usage model for wireless devices that allows one to roam at will among different networks, using whatever wireless device is currently at hand. Thus GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)-enabled cell phones, PDAs, and laptops will be able to roam and communicate freely and access the Internet across both WLANs (today mostly confined to laptops and desktops) and WWANs (today mostly confined to cell phones and pagers). The task of managing authentication between client devices and networks, often involving multiple login names and passwords, will become automatic and invisible to the user, as will the configuration of various settings and preferences that accumulate with client devices. |

- Providing high quality of voice conversation using mobile communication device in noisy environment requires sophisticated digital signal processing of audio signals. Both transmit and receive audio paths must be processed to improve speech intelligibility and users satisfaction for both sides of the connection. If the same device is used for music reproduction in noisy environment, digital audio signal processing may also improve subjective sound quality by dynamically equalizing sound according to the environmental conditions. |

The Ostrich (Jan 11 2004 04:57 GMT) - A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. As he sits, the waitress comes over and asks for their orders. The man says, "I'll have a hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. |

- My church family is a zoo, health-wise.TF, a man in his late 50s, has prostate cancer, which has been kept under control for the last three or four years by radiation "seeds" and hormone treatments. A couple of weeks ago he was told that two successive CT scans showed that the cancer had metastasized to his bones, a sure death sentence. This afternoon I heard that MF, T's wife, had a spot on her lung that didn't look good. I also heard that WL, a man in his 60s, had a stroke. |

- Ce micro-benchmark de neuf langages porte uniquement sur les opérations mathématiques de base et n’est donc pas représentatif de la vitesse en conditions réelles. Néanmoins il est intéressant dans la mesure où il permet de visualiser simplement la différence qui peut exister entre les langages compilés, les semi-compilés et les purement interprétés. |
