...together a network powerful enough to stream near DVD-quality, full-screen video to millions of computers simultaneously. The trick, it turned out, was to employ distributed computer power, using viewers' own PCs to speed video along. Having developed similar person-to-person networks for Kazaa and Skype--to transmit music files and phone calls through the Net--Joost's engineers finally nailed the solution last summer. Shouts of joy went up when they streamed their first video. It depicted, appropriately enough, sharks circling prey...
...Russians last January nabbed foreign operatives--British spies, they claim--who used an electronics-filled fake rock on a Moscow street to transmit classified documents...
...hopes to encourage a quickening in adoption of electronic prescribing. Because the new program is Web-based, no special software or hardware is required, and NEPSI says the new system takes 15 minutes to learn. Sprint plans to give away 1,000 web-enabled phones to be used to transmit e-prescriptions and to demonstrate the technology's ease of use. To keep pharmacies plugged into the new system, SureScripts, which links pharmacies around the country much like the national ATM network connects banks, will handle the e-prescriptions traffic from doctors to the country's 55,000 pharmacies...
...climate, its specific types of mosquitoes and its limitless mosquito-breeding sites. Children are struck down in unmatched numbers. And Africa's disease toll from malaria may be even higher than previously recognized. Recent research has found that malaria infection increases the likelihood that an HIV-infected individual will transmit the AIDS virus to others. Many millions are also infected simultaneously with malaria and worm infections, multiplying the disease burden...
...last long enough. Rather, Happonen hopes first to sell large quantities to the makers of rfid (radio frequency identification) tags, which don't draw constant power and lend themselves to the battery's thinness. rfid tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered rfid tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered versions and push rfid signals through liquid and aluminum cans - two common signal stoppers in supermarkets. The market potential is in the billions if rfid...
