The accent of modifications made on high tech gadgets is usually portability. New technology does not always restrict itself to gadgets. Sometimes the latest technology is applied to services. In an effort to make Internet access faster and more efficient, Google is making a trial run of an ultra high-speed 1 gigabit per second (1Gbps) fiber-to-the-home (FFTH) broadband service that is around 100 times faster than most Americans experience today. To get more representative results, it plans to deliver this service to a small trial number of cities and communities.
When a broadband connection gets this fast, it obviously opens up possibilities for applications that haven't yet been dreamt up. Google says its network will be open access, allowing other service providers to use its infrastructure to deliver services to their customers.
When it comes to latest computer accessories, the VuPoint Solutions portable wand-type scanner, model #PDS-ST410-VP, is a real winner. It is designed for copying images from books or ...
... documents with thick or fragile spines that don't allow them to be folded back for placement on a flatbed scanner. It takes around 4 seconds to scan an A-4 size B/W document.
Often documents and/or pages need to be scanned from a source which is at a considerable distance from your place of work. This is where the VuPoint scanner proves its utility. Depending on the size of your microSD memory card (sold separately - up to 32GB) and your desired resolution, the device can store hundreds of images onboard and scans at resolutions up to 600×600dpi.The default setting is 300×300dpi.
