Ok so I was talking to Tibault about this exact thing yesterday after reading his post on Google Talk. As a matter of fact, I was talking to him on Google Talk about this topic. The topic, of course, is how Google Talk can be used as a VOIP software – according to Tibault they are working with another VOIP software to improve the communications in their new application. As a matter of fact, I even saw a whole news report about Google Talk! I was really not impressed with the BBC for broadcasting that report now because Skype has been availiable for more then a year and its not had any reports...

I’ve been gone for two days and what happens? Google did not only release an entire new version of its Desktop Search program (not just an update) but it also released its first (putting Hello aside) IM application, Google Talk. |inline

  Peace be with you all.  I have been working on another plugin to add-on to my ‘Random Hadith Plugin’ which I released a couple of months ago. It makes sense that I have chosen to add to this with the addition of the ‘Random Qur’anic Verse Plugin’ for Wordpress 1.2, 1.5+ (inshAllah). I asked Kemas Yunus if he knew any scripts for random Qur’an verses. He contacted me a little later with an indionesian website (mukmin.info) which gives you three Al-Qur’an scripts; 1) Text 2) Arabic + Arabic Text Image and 3) Arabic + English Text Image. I...

A BBC programme “How to start your own country” presented by Danny Wallace follows a inspired and determined man to…. Well start his own country. You may think well where he is going to start his very own country, surely he needs land, surely he needs money, not to mention the people. Well he has declared he flat as country, and he has declared all of his citizens, ambassadors and the jobs for ambassadors are to declare your flats, houses, gardens, sheds, tents, cars or any space that belongs to you, as an Embassy for this yet unnamed country. But I advise you to still pay your...

Intelligence: Behold the All-Seeing, Self-Parking, Safety-Enforcing, Networked Automobile Radar, lasers, wireless radio networks and other embedded tech will enable our cars to sense faraway traffic and stop accidents before they happen. But who will be in the driver’s seat? Well again we seem to have heard it all, films that are based in the future like Minority report and iRobot seem to focus on such things as the future of the car. In iRobot you see that Will Smith has to put the car in ovveride to take control of it himself, and that the speed is amazingly enhanced then...

From the title it isn’t very hard to work out what this is all about. Wireless is the future, as a matter of fact, wireless is the present. I currently have a WiFi network in my house at 54MB/s, connected to multiple computers, devices and what have you. As a matter of fact I think all of the UNN reporters have wireless networks in their own houses! I know for a fact that Hamza (11b) and Qasim (54g) do! There were of course some disadvantages of the wireless connectivity, WiFi. It always starts with cost, when things start off they are, naturally, expensive. This really applies to just about...

The world’s first interactive 3D display has been developed by IO2 Technology. HelioDisplay creates 3D displays in the air using lasers, drawing input from computers, TVs and DVDs. It also allows interactive applications to be controlled by a finger, instead of a mouse. "Our first generation version, the Heliodisplay, projects TV, streaming video and computer images into free space, (mid-air)", the company’s website claims. While it’s early days for such technologies, the company has just completed its first production unit and claims it is ready to release...

 I read this over on my cousins blog and I just had to post it: I was reading the newspaper today when i came across this in the letters section of the Guardian Justice and Israel I am mystified by the fuss Israel is making over the removal of 2% of it’s illegal settlers from the Occupied Territories. Israel managed to ethnically cleanse half a million Palestinians from their homes during the 1948 war. In recent years, it has destroyed thousands of Palestinian homes. So are we supposed to be so impressed by the "trauma" of removing 8,000 squatters from Gaza, that we no...
