The amazing new iPhone 5s is the latest offering from Apple, renowned for the innovation and design that has driven their iPhone series from strength to strength. The iPhone 5s continues in this strong tradition of excellence, piling improvements to its predecessor in another step of Smartphone evolution. As Apple’s tag line for the new product has it, the iPhone 5s is ‘forward thinking’, an example of a phone where every inch of hardware and every byte of software has been carefully considered and purposefully engineered towards a cohesive design goal.Like all iPhones, the Apple iPhone 5s is a thing…

Silicon wafers are actually semiconductor devices that are heavily used in todays electronics. To some, these micro devices may seem dismissible but they really have important uses in technology. Silicon wafers are primarily used in manufacturing computer chips. Every electronic device that you enjoy these days contains these tiny yet very significant wafers. Generally, silicon is a good conductor of electricity. If you have it altered, not only will it conduct electricity, you can also make good use of it as an effective insulator. Whats amazing about these sophisticated wafers is that manufacturers only use regular beach sand particles as…

From Alexander Graham Bell to Tim Berners-Lee, the world of telecommunication systems has gone on a long and technologically advanced fast paced journey. Many advances in the component technologies that have made up these telecommunication systems have been made in a relatively short space of time. With the advent of the World Wide Web, it is now possible to communicate to someone on the opposite side of the planet as if they are sitting next to you, and with no discernible delay in communication. Tim Berners-Lee – The man behind the invention of this wonder of a communication system, was…

A newly minted standard, called scalable video coding (SVC), enables video streaming at multiple resolutions, quality levels and bit rates. The ability to scale video performance based on the end point is achieved through this relatively new technology called H.264/SVC (Scalable Video Coding) that not only compresses but also distributes the video stream. The standard allows us to have layers of encoded video, and if we use intelligent devices, it can allow us do lots of other things as well. To understand the principle behind these intelligent devices, we need to look at how videoconferences usually work. view full post…

Wireless security alarms are becoming very popular in the market today in spite of having some minor flaws. Wired security systems are almost a thing of past now because of all the convenient features that a wireless security alarm has. Wireless systems are easy to install because they are literally without any wires and the fact that they can installed by the owner himself is a very big plus point. Everyone will tell you all the good things about these but here is a brief outline on some of the negative aspects of the wireless ones.One of the most common…
