Soon coming technology..

Hi

With Santa Rosa just out and a few other techs like Turbo Memory, I was just wandering if anyone knows what is just beyond/what is to come? (Anything - Wireless, Memory-DDR3, Processors, Laptops....)

Anyway, to get the ball rolling, I hearded that Intel is devolping another new processor called, Penryn, Nehalem, Montevina. I think it is Penryn out late 07/early 08. And DDR3 memory sometime a year from now.

Any more info/news is welcome!!

 

quad core notebooks are due soon,
hopefully fuel cell batteries which work from (liquid) methanol
3-d screen tech which uses eye-tracking cameras to create an effective stereoscopic image,
OLED screens replacing TFT screens as soon as OLED life is sorted out
A new type of software BIOS which is instant on computing (?)

 

a woman that doesn't moan when her laptop crashes when she's playing bingo lol

 

Don't forget Intel's laser microchip

 

haha, v. gd.

No really, technologies that are real and have a proper use.

same goes for hoggie

 

Solid state Terabyte drives and 8 core processors in the next 4 years.

 

brain/emotion/..... controlled games. [no, really...] I forgot the name but its coming out next year.

 

Yep...I am beta testing it right now. It is called "Life". It is so addictive that I have to dedicate 24 hours a day to it. The realism is what really impresses me most.

 

It's one of those games where you think, "I'll just try something really stupid to see what happens" and then you find out there's no "reload" button

The MMORPG of all MMORPGs!

 

See this article: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3086_7-6715793-1.html?tag=lnav

 

Really? How do you beta test it? Can you put a vid of you playing it on you tube or...at least take some pics or something? There is barley any info on it right now.

 

It's full of bugs and crashes. You really don't want to try it out until it's perfected. They keep pushing back the scheduled release date though.

 

It's not really stable right now. I am supposed to be tight lipped about it but I can post a vid of me resting in game. It will be kind of dark so turn up the brightness.

 

What about bots and farmers? PKers? Raiding? End-game? Level cap?

 

My roommate is a camper right now. He never comes out of the basement. How boring! I have managed to avoid the PKers and PHers (player haters) so far. My guilds house is in a safe portion of the server. So far my max level is 25 but I hear it goes up every year.

 

How does the game work? Like do you use a joystick instead of a mouse or what? Basically, whats different?

 

I am guessing that as soon as AMD or Intel get quad core to the laptop, the other will come out with and 8 way laptop. I am more excited about the solidstate drives. These are here now. But cost about $15 per gig. The much vaunted hybrid drives are nowhere to be seen. More likely we will skip hybrids and just go to SSDs or maybe a dual drive setup if the SSD drives are small enough.
It's also looking like the keyboardless ultraportables are gonna take over. I mean, aside from the gamers, audio geeks (like me) and a few others, who really needs a fully decked out laptop? A lot of folks just surf the web and watch videos with theirs. And if a device can do that as well for less and fit in your pocket?

 

It's all motion capture.

 

Which is...

 

The game responds to the exact movements of my body. Its like having a thousand Wii controllers strapped to myself.

 

So you get exercise too

 

Unfortunately yes

 

Are most of the women in that game really male too?

 

hey, is this what u are talking about??

http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/biopong-enables-workouts-whilst-gaming/

 

NO! So far so good *crosses fingers*! Actually, if you go downtown...uhh nevermind

Not even close to the technology used in life.

 

o ok,

by any chance do u look like some deep diver with loads of sensors hanging off u, or is ot all done by a webcam with motion detecion.

 

the former

 

Does it take a while to hook them up?

 

you are one sick fellow joshua, but i give you a hand, and its not a golf clap

 

Occasionally as i'm playing WoW people refer to something as IRL, is that the same thing? I heard it did actually exist but i thought it was a rumor, it sounds alright but i think it is WAY OVERRATED. It is far too labor intensive imho, and requires far too much thought. This is only based on speculation and of course is all my opinion.
Any clarification on this would be great.

 

That is awesome! I feel honored that I am featured in your second post for this reason

 

If you want some really cool tech that will be great for notebooks.

Its called wi-tricity. aka: wireless electricity.

Then your notebook will be 100% cord free in your house and it will charge on its own, will be good for cell phones and other things that use batteries aswell.

The guy leading the research right now said they have it up to the point where it could be used for laptops and cellphones.

Yep this is not BS its real, its wireless electricity as it no cord/wires and there is a transfer of energy wich can run/charge your stuff.

 

I thought they had just figured out how to light a light bulb wirelessly. I must be behind the times.

 

They did the lightbulb back in 2005 if I recall correctly.

Even still a 60w lightbulb... 60w is more than enought to charge a cell phone, and probably enough to run a notebook.

A desktop only sucks like 300w from the wall, so a notebook should be much less.

The article is from this June but that doesn't necessarily mean thats when the experiment took place.

 

Here are some links to what I think to what you are talking about..... i think

http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2006/wireless.html
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6129460.stm

Only thing is, in England the public are still saying WiFi, Bluetooth and cell phones are bad..... now and try 2 explain to them that wireless power isn't bad!!!!

 

That's an interesting read.

 

Actually what i think about wireless Energy is that it might not be efficient. If you wall plug it, you onli do that when u need energy. When you wireless it, it is on nearly 24/7... this might not be environmentally good.

 

you could have a switch of some sort...to set it off/on.

Opps... i always forgot what i should have type. I meant the energy is spreaded wide like waves, hence any waves tat are not converted into energy are wasted.

 

They explain in the first article of spikester's post that they use non-radiative energy that if not used is reabsorbed by the source.

 

Uhh Nikola Tesla was doing wireless electricity over a hundred years ago. He also pretty much laid the foundations of the AC we use today. Including the 3 phase system. Look it up. Effing genius.
PS dont Teslas patents still apply?

 

His patents would have expired around 80 years ago.

 

yeah, I was being facetious. Though some monopoly interests have been able to maintain patents for pretty long, 80+ years is beyond the pale.

 

hehe...sorry. Sometimes it is hard to pick up on tone via text.

 

Calaveras:
Nice to see you out and about. When I meet someone who says Tesla who? I turn and run! I can't reinvent the wheel and I can not teach a rock to walk on 2 legs! So be it!

 

lol, have those curious folks figured out the reality about this so-called "Life" game yet?
i'm glad no-one asked for its retail price .. LOL

 

Well i figured it was a ways away, no need for price yet...
Although is there a rough estimate, i would imagine it is one of those subscription games, along with a pretty hefty price for that nifty full body controller. Whats your best guess, $300-$400 for game/controller and like $25 a month?

Again, is the working title IRL right now? Because my friends always tell me they are going to the movies or out IRL, but i don't know what they mean!!!
