High-style + high-tech = A7

 Audi A7's navigation system

 The most advanced navigation system for the consumers can be found installed in the latest Audi A7. Based on nVidia's hardware and Google's expertise Audi has decided to integrate cutting edge technology in its flagship models - don't know about you but I'd still choose the R8 without any sat-nav system :)
 Combining class with technology it's not an easy task but at the end of the day the customers are the ones who decide. The sat-nav system is based on nVidia's Tegra technology and allows for: rendering 3D maps and terrain, video and audio playback.
 The processing power will change the way people drive. With the help of computer vision and augmented reality the blind spots are easily detected and the driver alerted while the assisted parking and the night vision experiences add value to the system. The comfort of the passengers hasn't been overlooked, a wi-fi hotspot can be activated so they can access the internet from their smartphones, tablets or notebooks. So, what do you think?
 Don't forget to post your opinions, see ya!

Cloud Computing - Sky's the limit!

The cloud computing

 What up? Clouds computing, what the heck? Maybe the clouds in your head - Axy says... and I say - Yeah, you got that right - the cloud computing.
 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has its definition: "Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction."
 So, what does that mumbo jumbo means? Each time you use your web-based e-mail account, you are using cloud computing. Are you editing your documents on the go with Google Docs? Again you are the proud user of cloud computing. Are you storing your files on Microsoft's SkyDrive? Yet again this is cloud storage service. The best thing about cloud computing is that you don't need a high end pc to get the job done. Sometimes a mere smartphone with a decent web browser is enough. The way the pc tablets and many electronic gadgets evolved past the years makes these devices the weapon of choice for many cloud services users. The future is fast (app)roaching - making the cloud (app)s part of our everyday life! Is this good or bad for ya? Looking forward for your comments, have a good one!

Google TV - The future is now!

The Google TV

 Remember the days when TV's used to look like big square boxes with an antenna on top? Fast forward to today: HDTV's and thin LED displays. Have you ever felt like something's missing when acting like the average couch potato? Let me give ya one clue: it ain't Al Bundy. It's the Internet experience I'm talking about.
 Google, Intel, Sony and Logitech got together at a picnic and decided to set plans in motion for the next gen TV experience.
 You can now browse the net, access your facebook account - even play some Farm Ville all of it running on an Android platform inside your TV like the Sony NSX-46GT1, on Logitech Revue Companion Box or on a Sony NSZ-GT1 Blu-ray Player - all of them featuring Google TV. So, I'd like to know your opinions/comments on this technology.
