Wi-Fi; Bad for Trees

Wi-Fi one of the amazing device we all uses for wireless access of network. Its almost in all places now. Routers are so cheap these days and everyone is buying it to get rid of the wires and for multiple access of the network. But, now it’s the time for realization.

Results from a preliminary study by DU Delft University, Wageningen University, and other institutions in the Netherlands show that Wi-Fi radiation may be harmful to trees. The study finds that Wi-Fi radiation may cause bleeding and fissures in tree barks, and these incidents were not attributed to virus or bacteria, and that 70% of trees in urban spaces now show signs of damage compared to just 10% five years ago. The study finds that trees located nearest to Wi-Fi radiation exhibited a lead-like shine on the leaves and death of leaves’ lower and upper epidermises.

Radiation from Wi-Fi is also said to inhibit growth of corn cobs, though more work needs to be done to truly isolate the cause of these symptoms to Wi-Fi radiation and not just particulate pollution in the air. For now, just be careful where you use those Wi-Fi hotspots, as tempting as it is to work outside in a park on a nice day. Thank you for reading!

 

 

DELL STREAK- Leave A Bold Statement

 

DELL STREAK- Leave A Bold Statement

 

 

The Dell Streak is a hybrid device that lives in the space between a smart phone and other larger tablets or netbooks that you might be using right now. We designed it to provide a wide range of users’ flexibility to do what they need with a mobile device. That’s why we packed the Dell Streak with a lot of features. We’ll utilize that flexibility via over-the-air updates for platform upgrades, Adobe Flash 10.1 on Android 2.2 later this year, plus other enhancements like video chat applications and more.

After using the Dell Streak for a bit, one thing that really stand out in my opinion is the screen. The vivid, 5-inch diagonal display may seem only slightly larger than many of the smartphones making waves out there specs-wise. But when that larger screen is coupled with higher pixel density, it’s surprising how much difference that extra inch and a half or so makes in everyday activities like browsing the web, playing games or watching video. Because it’s made with Gorilla Glass the screen also has a pretty big durability advantage over more fragile mobile devices. Take a look at the Gizmodo hands-on to see what I mean. The Dell Streak is thin (10mm-which is  thinner than a lot of mobile devices out there), and though it’s just a bit heavier than other smartphones, it feels solid and balanced-which makes using it pretty natural across a number of activities. We’ll also offer all kinds of Dell Streak accessories like a car dock kit, battery replacements, a home AV dock and more.

The Dell Streak is a device designed for accessing entertainment, navigating your busy schedule and connecting you to the friends and family who matter to you.

Hardware-wise, the Dell Streak features the following:

• A sharp 5-inch capacitive multi-touch WVGA (800×480) display for a great full-screen experience watching video or browsing the web
• Fast 1GHz Snapdragon ARM-based mobile processor from Qualcomm
• 5 MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash that offers easy point & shoot capability and quick uploads to YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and more
• VGA front-facing camera enables video chat functionality down the road
• A user-removable (and replaceable) battery
• A 3.5mm headphone jack means many of you can use the Dell Streak as the music source (and more) in your car
• Integrated 3G + Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) + Bluetooth 2.1 (think headsets, external keyboards, stereo headsets, etc.)
• UMTS / GPRS / EDGE class 12 GSM radio with link speeds of HSDPA 7.2 Mbps / HSUPA
• A user-accessible Micro SD slot expandable up to 32GB. That means you can store  lots of movies, music, photos or other kinds of files.

On the software side, here’s what you can expect:

• A customized multi-touch version of the Google Android operating system that features Dell user interface enhancements
• Access to over 38,000  apps (and growing) via the Android Marketplace
• Microsoft Exchange connectivity and integration through TouchDown
• Google Voice support
• Integrated Google Maps with voice-activated search, turn-by-turn navigation, street and satellite views
• Quick access to activity streams via integrated social network app widgets like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube

STOP IIS FROM USING PORT 80

A system that have IIS installed in it will not allow your wampserver to run ‘apache’ correctly on it. This occurs because by default both of them, (wampserver and iis), listens to the same port, usually 80). This conflict can be avoided if we configure any one of them to listen to any other port, say 8000 (or by disabling IIS at times when you are running wampserver and this is a very annoying task.)  Since I am developing and running php apps in my system I prefer to use wampserver, also I rarely (never) use IIS. So I prefer to change the port of IIS to some other port, other than 80. Here I will tell in detail how this can be done, with screen shots.

STEP 1:
Open IIS Window. You can do this by, simply hitting the ‘Windows’ key and typing in ‘IIS’ or ‘Internet Information Services’. The result will be shown up there. Click it, you will get the window opened for you.

 

STEP 2:
On the ‘Connections’ pane, click the default one to expand it. Usually (PC-NAME(PC-NAME\user), where ‘PC-NAME’ is your PC name, and ‘user’ is the username.

STEP 3:
Click ‘Sites’ and expand it.
Now select ‘Default Web Site’.
On the ‘Actions’ pane, click ‘Bindings’ under the ‘Edit Site’.

STEP $:
Now a window named ‘Site Binding Opens. Click ‘http’ and then click edit.
Change the port to another number, say 8000 and click ‘Ok’.

You are done. Now you can simply run your wampserver on your system, without disabling IIS.

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercial­ization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.
