...twice about waiting for those printouts - not for the sake of the paper, but for your health. In the small study, published in the Aug. 1 issue of Environmental Science and Technology, researchers found that nearly 30% of the 62 printers they tested - including laser printers from Canon, HP, Toshiba and Ricoh - emitted high levels of ultrafine toner particles, which were potentially as hazardous as cigarette smoke. In one Brisbane office, the authors found, the concentration of particulate matter per square inch was five times higher during working hours than nonworking hours, and about 3.5 times higher inside than outside...
...study, Lidia Morawska, a physicist at the Queensland Institute of Technology, and her colleagues analyzed printer emissions in a large open-plan office environment. The good news was that 60% of the printers they tested, including eight HP LaserJet 4050 models, four Ricoh Aficio models and one Toshiba Studio, did not emit any particles. But of the 40% that did, many, such as the HP LaserJet 1320 and 4250 models, were classified as "high-level emitters." Emissions, researchers found, were printer-specific and fluctuated depending on the age of the toner cartridge and the amount of toner a document required...
Minsky’s perceptions may stem from his vast research into artificial intelligence, psychology, and computer science—he’s Toshiba professor of media arts and sciences and professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. As his book makes clear, he’s done a lot of work with robots, and that work has led to some of the key concepts in the book...
...game graphics and movies in gorgeous detail, for instance, but few households currently have TVs that can display the full resolution of the format. That will change as prices for those TV sets decline. But consumers may also be reluctant to invest in the PS3 given that Sony and Toshiba are waging a format war over next-generation DVDs--no one wants to be saddled with another Betamax. "A lot of the technology in the machine will not drive the market until the end of the PS3's life cycle," says Yankee Group analyst Mike Goodman...
...when it launched in 2000. Yet the PS2 became a monster hit, and still outsells even the 360. The Cell processor, moreover, isn't just going into the PS3. It will find a home in hundreds of products--horizontal, remember? As for Blu-ray, at worst it loses to Toshiba as a movie format but lives on in the gaming world as a top-notch platform...
