Working on a laptop is often a problem outdoors. Adapting to the natural light makes the entire sense of portability seem flipped on its head. Then, how about a notebook to suit both indoors and outdoors, sounds alluring right? With LG’s latest LCD module housing transmissive and reflective illumination it is made possible.
Playing beyond the concept of adaptive backlighting, LG has succeeded in building a 14.1 LCD screen that’ll give the user an... optimum screen visibility in all conditions, be it indoors or out under the scorching sun. The reflective panel from behind the screen reflects light that helps form brighter images outdoors with a mirror’s aid, while the illumination out from the backlight creates better images indoors. The transmissive reflector rests between the reflective panel and the illumination from the backlight, neutralizing the image rightness to suit the light in the environment.

LG’s 14.1 LCD module adapts to all light conditions
Newer Magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) many times faster than RAM
If you always desired for a fast computer, an ordinary RAM may just not be a solution. German physicists and engineers have thus developed the Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM), which is not only faster but also more energy efficient. MRAM seems like it will boost the mobile computing industry and stores the level of charge by changing the north-south direction of a magnet’s field. IBM and other manufacturers are planning to use MRAM, which could spin electrons to flip the magnetic fields, which is also known as the spin-torque MRAM, something that the German physicists have further improvised and... built the fastest so far.
By building tiny pillars of 165 nanometres, which act, as variable magnets at the top end, allow current to pass through from bottom to top and the spin of the electrons take place. The fields are flipped and it takes a while for it to settle to it’s new orientation. Then, the north and south axis draw circles in the air before finally settling which causes a wobble. Since this depends on the magnetic field and the wobble that takes place in a field, the German team developed a way to observe and control a magnetic field’s wobble during and after the flip. Right now, the MRAM is about 10 times faster than a MRAM, which needs 10 nanoseconds, and the conventional RAM needs 30 nanoseconds. This speed will definitely increase in the months and years to come.

Nokia N97 Mobile Phones
Nokia launches N97
Nokia N97 is a handset that has embarked a new era of mobile phone experience. Nokia N97 is a piece of technology that has all the mobile principles r great mobile handset. Nokia N97 is an N series handset, but it has many unique features that make it very different from the other N series handsets that Nokia has produced in the past.
One of the features of Nokia N97 that really stands out is its QWERTY keyboard. It is believed that the keyboard of Nokia N97 has the most user friendly keyboard that the Mobile market has seen till date. Nokia N97 is also said to have one of the best battery back ups. The Nokia has claimed that Nokia N97 can play music for a consecutive 36 hours. Such is the battery backup that Nokia N97 is equipped with.
Nokia N97 has a storage capacity of 32GB. This is double of any mobile handset that is available in the market as of now. And if this was not enough to tempt you guys, then hold on to know some more exciting news. Nokia N97 has a capacity to take another 16GB through microSD. This makes Nokia 97 a portable computer as it actually has 48GB memory storage.
Nokia N97 has just set new standards for mobile handsets.
