 The display carries this on too, using a great AMOLED panel.

The Nokia 700, especially as the world's smallest smartphone, is dropping as a part of a trio of Nokia handsets (the 600, 700 and 701 ) running with the new Symbian Belle interface. And it is very small. It's slim. It's quite sleek too, and many other 'S' adjectives as well.

    The thin frame holds a 3.2-inch AMOLED ClearBlack touchscreen, 5MP and VGA cameras, an external speaker hugging the bottom curve, and all this in only a 92gram of weight, 9.7mm-thick phone. It's pretty swish.  If you're after a decent all-rounder though and don't want to spend the globe, the 700 should be worth a look.  Really nice phone.

Fiber Optic Technology | Fiber Optic Technology Overview | Features Of Fiber Optic Technology Features

   Now Everywhere on this Earth hair-thin optical fibers carry vast huge quantities of information from one place to another place. There are so many desirable properties of optical fibers for carrying the information. They have enormous information-carrying capacity, are low cost, and possess immunity from the many disturbances that can afflict electrical wires, wireless communication links. The superiority of optical fibers for carrying information from place to place is leading to their rapidly replacing older technologies. Optical fibers have played a key role in making possible the extraordinary growth in world-wide communications that has occurred in the last 25 years, and are vital in enabling the proliferating use of the Internet.

Light is channeled through these fibers. Not only light but everything associated with light, images for example, also get transmitted from one end of the fiber optic to the other end. Bends and turns in the fibers pose no hindrance in this transmission.  

The core of fiber optic materials is made of glass or plastic and it is highly transparent. This core is covered with a covering known as ‘cladding’. When light enters from one end and travels through the length of the fiber optic, this ‘cladding’ does not allow it to scatter outside the material.

The ‘cladding’ reflects all the light from inside the surface of the fiber optic. So, even if a bundle inside the fiber optic is not straight, the image is not affected. Fiber optics are capable of carrying light and other information over a wide range of distance. The distance may vary from a few centimeters to many hundred kilometers.  

Fiber optics are primarily of two types. The single-mode fiber optic and the Multi-mode fiber optics.

Single Mode Fiber Optic

It is suitable  for transmissions over long distance  that happen at tremendous speed. They are capable of this because their core is very small and they have the property of accepting light only in the direction of the axis of the fibers. Small lasers are used to send light into fibers. The fibers are joined with low-loss connectors so that there is very less distortion of the light signal.

Multi Mode Fiber Optic

In multi-mode fiber optic materials the cores are big and they also can accept light from a variety of angles and can also function with a variety of light sources. The connectors are used within the materials for fiber are not very expensive. It is done because these fiber optic materials are not meant for long distance transmission only short distance transmission.

EYE IN SKY FINDS 17 LOST PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT | PYRAMIDS IN EGYPT

     This is a new satellite survey about Egypt.  Egypt has identified 17 lost pyramids and more than thousand (1,000) un-excavated tombs.  More than 3,000 ancient settlements were also revealed by looking at infra-red images which show up underground of  building.  The US Egyptologist Sarah Parcak's team  analysed images from satellites orbiting 700km above the earth, equipped with cameras so powerful they can pin-point objects less than 1m in diameter on the earth's surface. The Infra-red imaging was used to highlight different materials under the surface of Earth.

ISRO UNVEILS SUPERCOMPUTER | WORLD'S SUPERCOMPUTER | INDIA'S FAST COMPUTER

      World's Fastest Computer. ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) has built a supercomputer (SAGA-2020), which will be India's fastest in terms of theoretical peak performance of 220 Teraflops ( 200 Trillion Floating Point Operations per second ).  Named Satish Dhawan Super-computing Facility, it is located at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) in Thiruvananthapuram.  The new graphic processing unit ( GPU ) based supercomputer, which has been named SAGA-2020 ( Super-computer for Aerospace with GPU Architecture-220 Teraflops), would be used for solving complex aerospace problems. 

     The supercomputer was fully designed and built by the VSSC, using commercially available hardware and open source software components.  Its total cost was about Rs. 14 crores. The system is environmentally green and consumes a power of only 150kw.                           

Mozilla Building Android Based Mobile OS | Mozilla introduce android mobile OS | Mozilla's Android mobile OS

            Today, The Mozilla Firefox plans to build an operating system very much like Google’s own Chrome OS where apps runs like a browser but for many mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.  The company is known as firefox browsers.  If the name Mozilla rings any bells it's because they're the tech boffins who put together Internet Explorer, the browser that Windows defaults to. Mozilla took the leviathan computing company on with its Firefox browser, and today it is the second most popular browser worldwide.

       Now the company who was underdog to Microsoft looks to be playing the same role, but this time against internet head Google.  Announced on the Mozilla discussion forum, Mozilla have begun coding for smart phones and tablets. The BBC revealed the mobile operating system will draw on Android code, with Mozilla writing as much fresh code as possible. The hybrid-like operating system will be named Boot To Gecko. 

         It is an unusual name for an OS, until you remember the name  Gecko it is  rendering engine employed by the Firefox browser that interprets web page coding and displays it in a screen-friendly format, a homage to its origins.  Even though Android coding will form the operating system's foundations, Mozilla hope to add a much more open wrapper around it than Google currently do, making it more versatile as an operating system.  Its shared foundations will also make Boot To Gecko compatible with the same phones as Android, competing as a direct alternative to Google.

Often, when you select a link from an application native to the Android or iOS market, the operating system will have to open a new webpage in the browser. Boot To Gecko aims to limit this by making applications much more web-centric.  If the venture proves successful, Mozilla will be waging war against industry giants, with Google, Apple and Microsoft dominating many facets of the technological world. 

Mozilla have acknowledged this  project is in infancy and have chosen to make the development public in hope it will attract talented enthusiast coders who will contribute to the Boot To Gecko's cause.  According to their project team, all of the mobile code development will be completed and shared with the public as soon as it is written.  Researcher Andreas Gal, who announced the development, admits the company has set a high target, but wants to do it "the way we think open source should be done.
