Voice Is The New User Interface - (USA)
Google’s little voice activated search tool, recently released for the Apple iPhone, has caused considerable amusement around the world. Those in the San Francisco Bay Area are able to speak their search requests directly into their iPhone, and have the results on screen in a far faster time than typing in a search term on the screen. Those further afield are having fun of a different kind, thanks to the voice recognition tweaked for a west coast accent (hey, even I’m having a bit of fun). But

What Obama’s Privacy breach reinforces? - (USA)
That security and privacy is a people problem. As Scott McNealy says, “Privacy is a myth, get over it.” In my editorial piece for the newsletter (Luminosity) that I started in the fateful month of Sept 2001, I wrote The amount of security needed is directly proportional to the value of the information that needs to be protected. For example, under normal circumstances the value of a user ID and password list is high and should be protected at all costs, while items such as news releases or exe

Debate Over High Frequency Trading & Flash Orders - (USA)
The big debate within Wall Street now is not over huge bonuses but instead over high frequency trading and flash orders. The issues surrounding HFT are complicated and require a careful balance to be struck between the need for continued innovation, liquidity as well as price improvement and on the other hand, equality, transparency and prevention of system wide risks.The issue is complex but it can be boiled down to one question: is the exchange ensuring that every single participant has equal

Sustained Quantum Information Processing Demonstrated - (USA)
Raising prospects for building a practical quantum computer, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated sustained, reliable information processing operations on electrically charged atoms (ions). The new work, described in the August 6 issue of Science Express,* overcomes significant hurdles in scaling up ion-trapping technology from small demonstrations to larger quantum processors. In the new demonstration, NIST researchers repeatedly performed

Is Google Evil? - (USA)
Here’s a nice discussion from the New York Times’ Bits Blog—and a debate held this week by Intelligence Squared US. The arguments, naturally, centered around Google’s purported motto: “Don’t be evil.” Everything from corporate identity to workplace policies to business behavior was fair game. The Bits summary of the arguments included seven deadly sins of Google and eight of its virtues (both of which I hope were delivered tongue-in-cheek). Sins, complete with Latin, from Siva Vaidhyanathan, a

Beating a quantum computer by simulating quantum mechanics - (USA)
One of the hotter areas of physics research over the last few years has been quantum computing. Newly published research may put a damper on some of the enthusiasm about the ability of adiabatic quantum computers to outperform classic computers in some algorithms. Early research showed that if information were stored in such a way that the value of one bit was correlated to that of another bit, then several algorithms will run faster than their classical counterparts. Examples of such algorithm

Could Real Time Information Be An Unfair Advantage? Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 by Steven 0 Add a CommentThe US Securities and Exchange Commission is considering a ban on a stock market practice known as “flash trading,” where supercomputers get access to information milliseconds before other traders and can rapidly buy and sell in ways that are argued to influence the market unfairly – thus discouraging mere mortals from participating.

Yet more on high-frequency trading: Ars Technica - (USA)
Jon Stokes writes at Ars Technica : It sounds like something out of The Matrix: a giant, world-spanning electronic network where high-powered machines, some of them using GPUs to gain a speed advantage, run secret, rapidly-evolving software algorithms that battle it out for profits in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse, attack-counterattack, that yields some $21 billion a year for the winners and can spell ruin for the losers. Except that it’s not The Matrix— it’s the stock and commoditie

What was your first experience of search engines? It’s difficult to remember when I started using search engines, it must have been sometime around late 1996 when I first joined the Web revolution. I remember vaguely switching to Google at about year 2001 and never leaving it since other than for testing or niche searches. I started programming first serious search engine in 2002 for the company I worked for that needed to search faster through around 300k products. That’s when I got hooked

Some years ago a first year teacher (Name withheld to protect all involved) was trying very hard to teach Binary numbers for a group of sixth graders. It was not going well. Not at all. At the end of class, on the way out one student turned to the teacher and said “This stuff is math. Why are we doing Math in computer class?” The teacher had had a long frustrating day (as days can get for teachers who are not really ready for this sort of thing) and they replied with a conversation what went som
