The world of mobile gadgets is developing very quickly demanded the players involved in it to keep pace with technology so as not to fall behind the competition.

Intel is no exception at the Computex 2013 in Taiwan announced the arrival of the processors schedule the next generation of gadgets.

Starting next year, Intel will rely architecture “Silvermont” with the 22nm fabrication technology that will manifest in the form of processor “Bay Trail” for tablets and “Merrifield” aimed at Smartphones. Both processors will carry the name of the Atom has indeed used Intel for Intel’s SoC gadget.

In early 2014, the first Smartphone device with a processor Merrifield “referred to already be starting circulating in the market.

“Delivery to customers will start by the end of this year,” said General Manager of Intel’s Mobile and Communications Group Hermal Eul in the “Intel Inside Mobile” at the Grand Hyatt Taipei, Wednesday (06/05/2013).

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4 equipped with a variety of new features. One is the “glance of the eye” or the ability track eye movements (eye-tracking).

Feature to trigger certain functions automatically, such as pause the video so users switch the view to the outside of the screen.

Well, apparently Apple is also interested in having a similar technology. As quoted from CNET, Samsung’s big rival filed a patent “Electronic Device Capability Detection with Eye view”. As the name implies, the patent describes a feature where a device reacts to user eye movement or head.

Apple itself had previously filed this technology as part of a patent application on September 20, 2008. But then the company decided to present it in a separate patent.

Meanwhile, Samsung has first filed a patent for a feature called “Eye Pause” on January 24, 2013.

It took at least an hour to charge the battery of a modern mobile phone today. A young woman of 18 years has created a technology that could someday make the phone battery is fully charged in just half a minute or 30 seconds.

The teenager was Eesha Khare, an Indian-American descent. He made ​​a super-capacitor device that uses special nanostructures. Khare explains, the tool serves a large number of energy storage in a small space though.

Well, if it is used as one component of mobile phone batteries, so it can fully charge the phone battery in 20 or 30 seconds. “It can charge very quickly, and can last for 10,000 cycles. Much compared to the usual 1,000 battery cycles,” said Khare, as quoted by Mashable, Thursday (05/23/2013).

In addition to cell phone batteries, Khare also developed a tool that can be used in other electronic devices such as laptops or electric vehicles.

How to distribute the Internet connection in areas that do not have adequate infrastructure? One solution is to use a balloon fitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter.

That’s what Google is reportedly about to be done to connect the regions of Africa and Southeast Asia to the Internet network.

As reported by CNET, hot air balloon serves as a platform floating in height so that the signal emitted by Wi-Fi can cover an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers.

Google reportedly will lobby regulators in developing countries that became operational area in order to allow the hot air balloon television frequencies used for Wi-Fi signals.

The TV signal frequency is lower than the standard Wi-Fi and because it has a penetrating power and range of buildings higher than the frequency of Wi-Fi signals in general.

In this way, Google hopes to add about 1 billion new Internet users.

Intel demonstrated its seriousness to compete in the mobile device industry. The microchip manufacturer introduces new Atom mobile processor architecture called Silvermont for smart mobile devices and tablets, Monday (04/06/2013).

Chief Product Officer of Intel’s Dadi Perlmutter said, Silvermont specification designed in system-on-a-chip 22 nanometer. Processor performance is claimed to be three times faster and five times the power consumption is lower than previous Intel Atom mobile processor.

“We not only significantly reduce power, but he also comes with significant performance,” Perlmutter said as quoted by Reuters.

Processor design in Silvermont combines tri-gate transistor technology 3-D Intel first introduced in 2011. This technology lets Intel create processors with smaller size, but the performance is faster and lower power consumption.

Intel introduced the first mobile Atom processor for netbooks in 2008. However, the level of adoption of Atom for smart phones and tablet devices have so far been very small. So far, according to Perlmutter, Atom processor has been used 12 mobile phone models.

The Eye Tribe Technology

A device with a touch screen is now emerging. However, perhaps the golden era of touch screen no longer. Because the startup from Copenhagen, Denmark found the new interface technology. Not with a mouse or touch of a finger on the screen. But with the eye movements. The Eye Tribe, the name of the startup, founded by PhD students from the IT University of Copenhagen.

Technology  The Eye Tribe tracking eye to control devices with the same accuracy with a fingertip. This is thanks to the wonders of their findings are named Ssubmilimeter Pupil Tracking.

By using infrared technology, specifically The Eye Tribe algorithm can track the location of the user’s pupils, as accurate as finger touch screen tablet. The difference, faster eye movements of the finger motion.

Apparently, our pupils like fingerprints, unique and nobody has the same style. Thus, the eye can be used as a means to get in (log in) with each account.

Google Fiber

Newly implemented Google Fiber in Kansas City, United States, is one of the fastest internet connection in the world with a speed of 1 Gbps.

Well, the record was recently broken by a Japanese internet provider, So-net, branch of electronics giant Sony, which offers a new fiber optic internet service called “Nuro” for residents of Tokyo, Japan.

Speed? 2 Gbps or twice Google Fiber. So-net parties claiming the internet connection are the fastest in the world.

Nuro using Gigabit network-capable Passive Optical Network (GPON) Japan could reportedly reach speeds of 2.488 Gbps downstream.

Not only that, that is not less interesting is the price. So-net set monthly fee only $ 50 U.S. dollars, lower than Google which costs 70 dollars exiting.

Even so, as reported by Tech Spot, no installation fee of 540 U.S. dollars to be paid before the So-net customers can enjoy the incredible connection speeds.

Technology seems to have really attached to us and if it were not coming off. Such a study which showed that the majority of U.S. students use the tablet to support their learning process. This was done because it was more efficient and is believed by this method also expand their knowledge of technology.

However, the use of these tablets should be provided with quality applications and immoral. This is to avoid any negative impact on the child. To that end, made ​​application supporting children’s learning school that proved capable of supporting the needs of teaching and learning in schools.

Here is the Application Support Learning  version My Gadget:
