The IEEE wants to make idle or underutilized Ethernet connections more energy efficient, which could mean huge electrical cost savings for large enterprises. The trick: finding a way to seamlessly throttle between 10Mbps and 10Gbps. The standards outfit recently formed an Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) study group to explore how to do this. The idea is to save power in PCs and laptops (mos

" If you've followed our beginner and intermediate guides but your BitTorrent download speeds are still less than stellar, there's a chance your ISP may be throttling your BitTorrent traffic. The Wired How To Wiki details several ways to get around ISP traffic shaping, from encrypting your traffic and changing your default port number to reducing or hiding your transfers. Following these methods won't guarantee faster traffic (in fact, encryption could end up slowing you down), but if you think your ISP is behind your disappointing speeds, it won't hurt to try."[via lifehacker]

Customers should be informed of actual speeds, the panel said Action should be taken over consumers' concerns about broadband connection speeds, a watchdog has said. The Ofcom Consumer Panel said speeds advertised as "up to" a certain level end up being much slower in reality. The panel said there needed to be a code of practice so broadband customers get proper information about speeds. The Advertising Standards Authority should look at how companies advertise broadband speeds and encourage them to explain why they can vary, it added. Clear information Research earlier this year found that customers who had signed up for speeds advertised as up to eight megabits a second were often getting something only as third as fast. The panel said customers should be allowed out of their contract if the actual speed is a l

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — NASCAR slowed speeds Tuesday on the Car of Tomorrow at Talladega Superspeedway, where only half the field topped 190 m.p.h on the second day of the test session.With a smaller restrictor-plate, only 27 drivers went over 190. Paul Menard turned the fastest lap of the day at 193.045 mph in a Chevrolet. Speeds reached 196 m.p.h on Monday, and 44 drivers topped 190."We have the tools to slow them down. NASCAR did a good job with that," driver Ryan Newman said. "Basically we're just acclimating the car to the race track."The CoT is being phased into competition this season, and it will make its restrictor-plate race debut at Talladega in October.That event is also in the Chase for the Nextel Cup championship.NASCAR experimented with several restrictor-plate packages and wicker setups, and there didn't seem to be many complaints about the car's handling."It drives like it's on a rail," Carl Edwards said.

Mark Russinovich, one of our Technical Fellows and a prominent member of the Windows community, posted today on a topic that's received much discussion in the past few days -- that being the manner in which Windows Vista throttles network traffic on gigabit Ethernet networks when the user is engaged in multimedia playback. As Mark puts it, "many people have correctly surmised that the degradation in network performance during multimedia playback is directly connected with mechanisms employed by the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service (MMCSS), a feature new to Windows Vista."  This throttling of network traffic is mainly apparent on networks with infrastructure allowing gigabit throughput and is experienced by a user receiving, as opposed to sending, data. The explanation is quite technical and rather esoteric, but the gist is that when receiving data on faster networks, the number of system interrupts is increased and because network-driven system interrupts are handled at higher

Early this month, Statistics New Zealand released the Internet Service Providers Survey from March 2007, providing fresh information on broadband usage in New Zealand. Key to the report is the finding that more Broadband users are on faster download speeds, with 2 - 10Mps now the most common speed (as at 31st March 2007), a shift from the previous six months where 512kbs - 2Mbps was the predominant download speed. The Broadband vs Dial-up battle is tipped to switch soon with 739,000 subscribers on dial-up (down 4.1% from six months earlier) and 724,600 using broadband (up 18.5%). On the email front, 98.4% of Internet subscribers have now adopted email filtering products from their ISP (including both free and charged). The next instalment of the Internet Service Provider Survey will be released in March 2008. Looking to get connected? Find NZ Internet Service Providers in the NZS.com directory. Share This

This is the LG SH150 which is a new HDSPA phone from LG that features download speeds of up to 7.2MBps which is faster than many DSL connections. This kind of technology shows just how cell phones have really moved on and how they are becoming a vital tool in keeping you connected to everyone on the move at the highest possible data speeds. Features on the LG SH150 phone include Bluetooth, a media player, an e-dictionary, support for DMB and much more. If you take a quick look you could mistake it for the LG KG800 Chocolate phone, but it’s not and instead an imitation in looks. Not sure what you think, but it would have been nice for this new phone to take on a new look rather than copy other LG phones.

The new hearing will take place in Paris at the end of August, meaning at least two more Grand Prixs will now take place with the shadow of a possible McLaren punishment hanging over them.Elsewhere, Scuderia Torro Rosso have finally had enough of Scott Speed. The US has now lost its F1 race and only F1 driver in the space of a few weeks. Ouch.

Many new cameras will come with built-in shutter speeds of up to 30 seconds or longer, which is enough for most long-exposure photography. Other cameras will have a B (bulb) setting that will keep the shutter open as long as you keep your finger on the shutter release button or a T (time) exposure setting that will keep the shutter open until you press the shutter release button a second time

Mayo Clinic physicians have adapted real-time 3-D ultrasound imaging devices — including one designed to look at an infant’s heart — so that they can watch as they use a needle filled with anesthetic to numb individual nerves located inches under the skin. In this way, they can quickly block nerve function in selected areas of the body prior to surgery, an advance that may spare patients from use of general anesthesia and sends them home faster and with less need for pain medication. Mayo anesthesiologists have demonstrated the benefits of real-time 3-D ultrasound in nerve blockade in more than 150 surgeries of varied types. Their presentations at scientific meetings and publications in peer-reviewed journals have informed other physicians worldwide into how this next-era ultrasound imaging technology may assist in peripheral nerve block placement — the technique of disabling targeted nerves so that a patient doesn’t feel pain from surgery. For example, th

In a recent PC Magazine article, writer Jeremy Kaplan did a fantastic job of exposing the true Internet access speeds of the large consumer providers. Here I would like to bring an issue about one of the leading ISP (MTNL)of India, Delhi. MTNL, the ISP claims 256 Kbps upload / download stream on thier Boradboand connection at customer premises. But I’ve never seen 256 Kbps, it’s only between 140 – 200 Kbps. I’ve been continously talking to all concerned GMs and even the CMD, but they couldn’t prove their claim. Another, issue with the ISP’s is the poor conncectivity: a. The connection, intermittently disconnects, the disconnection last from few mintues upto hrs. It generates “Request Timeouts” & “Destination Net unreachable”. And, if you look at the Status “PVC0” is shown connceted.b. The ADSL keep resetting every now and then, some times it resets 15 time in 30 minutes. I’ve been fa

Flow Jamaica has increased the fee for internet access blaming the sliding Jamaican dollar for rising operating costs, I like Flow and the service I have been getting so far, I really do but I was very upset when I heard this news from a friend I know who works at the company. A few days later my discontent was canceled with the news that internet speed would also increase so since July 1st 2007, I have had a 5mps connection up from 4mbps. I haven’t really noticed much difference but I did a internet speed test over at the flow Jamaica site right after hearing the news in late June and another just before making this post (in the wee hours of the morning on July 5th) and the test have indicated that I am now indeed rocking a 5mbps connection (nothing compared to the median speeds in Japan). My internet costs per month is now JA$2100 (around us$30) before tax. Check out the speed tests below and why not do your own speed tests on the site and post your results in a comment ^_^. Speed

MAGNY-COURS, France (AFP) - Michael Schumacher and Zinedine Zidane, both eschewing to wear a crash helmet, sped around the Magny-Cours circuit in a high-speed Ferrari Enzo FXX sports car on Saturday morning to help raise funds for two charities.The charities, ironically, were the Paris-based Institute for Cerebral and Medullar Disorders (ICM) and the European Association Against Leucodystrophies (ELA), both concerned with brain and spinal injuries.Given the dangers of any accident in a high-speed car at a racing circuit, it was extraordinary that the two great world champions of motor racing and football chose not to wear helmets during two fast laps in a black Ferrari."He refused to wear one because he wanted to have a full sensation of the car and the experience with me," said Schumacher, who drove the car."And I think I have a pretty good idea of how to do this kind of thing."Both men spoke warmly also about the merits of the two charities, notably Schumacher who has given great sup

Between January and March, nationwide the real estate sector was RMB354.4 billion ($46 billion), a year-on-year growth of 26.9%. The growth rate was 6.7% higher than the previous year and 1.6% higher than the growth rate for fixed assets investment in urban areas.Read More...

I have spent quite some time on MyTechOpinion touting wireless Internet connectivity as a valuable real estate technology. The ability to access the MLS, Winforms Online and email from anywhere truly redefines the term “mobile real estate agent”. I just hit one year anniversary of my adding a Cingular wireless connection to my laptop bag. It really has changed the way I do business. While the impact has been good, a recent discovery by a friend has completely changed my opinion of the service.Up until last week, I have been running on Cingular’s EDGE network. The EDGE network is slow. My download speeds topped out at 150 Kbps. For those unfamiliar with download speeds, imagine a hair above dial-up speeds. This made for a true test of patience and made downloading anything of significant size impossible. While I was well aware that this network was much slower than Sprint and Verizon’s EV-DO networks, Cingular provided better coverage in my area.The discovery that I mentioned i

Researchers at Intel have announced the world's fastest silicon modulator--an advance that could cut bandwidth costs and make computers run faster and cooler.Today's computer processors are strictly electronic devices, transmitting data by means of electrons traveling through copper wires. But this technology is relatively slow and produces heat. Now, researchers at Intel have developed an optical device that could play a key role in replacing electrons and copper wires with photons and beams of light. The team has demonstrated a record-breaking silicon modulator that can encode data at a rate of 30 gigabits per second--nearly as fast as many nonsilicon modulators currently used in fiber optics hardware.A silicon modulator that can operate at these speeds, says Mario Paniccia, Intel research fellow and director of the Silicon Photonics Technology Lab, could make it possible to design faster computers that include photonic chips. In addition, Paniccia says, it could be part of an all-

A modern, properly powered motor yacht (above 45 feet) should be capable of cruising in the neighborhood of 16 - 17 knots. Those that cruise at 20 knots are considered fast and a 25-knot cruising speed is seen only in a very-high-performance model. Many motor yachts under 45 feet — and that includes a lot of the late-model Taiwan imports — are not able to attain these numbers because they were built with too-small engines. While this tactic allowed importers to sell them at seemingly low prices, the performance of these boats runs a poor second to a properly powered model.

In recent legal proceedings, Whitney Houston has indicated that she wishes to speed up her divorce from R&B singer Bobby Brown.Whitney filed for a divorce from Brown in October of 2006, but has now requested a default judgement from Orange County superior court. This is a legal move that could speed up the divorce proceedings.The news was just reported by Celebtv.com, which also added that the 43-year-old singer requested custody of the couple's daughter Bobbi Kristina, 13, with visitation rights granted to Bobby.In the court papers, Whitney checked the box that stated there are "no issues of division of community property" between the couple, who wed in 1992.New Jersey-born Whitney, who has sold a million albums worldwide, is expected to release a new album this year with rumored collaborations including hip hop notables Akon and Missy Elliot.It is also thought that Whitney will be calling on the help of her soulful family during the next year by recording a new song with her mo
