More Precious than Diamonds. Your Memories Carved in Stone.
“Never use rewritable discs for long-term storage.”

— Library of Congress Website

When something will last forever, we say it’s “written in stone.” That’s what we’re going to do with your digital files. Photos, music, movies, documents, ledgers – anything and everything you care about — will be etched forever into a special disc made from a diamond-like material. There’s no storage on earth as secure as a Cranberry DiamonDisc™.

It’s the permanent, backwards-compatible archive solution for the digital age.

The Library of Congress warns,”Storage media such as compact discs and DVDs that were thought to last, don’t — they often fail within a few years.” Millenniata, the inventor of the Cranberry DiamonDisc, has eliminated all the failure points in DVD technology. The result is a diamond-like DVD that will last for centuries and is not susceptible to failure.

The Cranberry DiamonDisc has no adhesive layers, dye layer or reflective layer to deteriorate. A high-intensity laser physically etches your information into the diamond-like surface of our synthetic stone disc. No other layer is needed.

The format is the same as any other DVD. We changed only the materials and construction of the physical disc. And the Cranberry DiamonDisc is fully backwards-compatible. This means that it can be read by any DVD player in any computer and is fully platform-independent.
Diamond. Better than Gold.

A Cranberry DiamonDisc is transparent. You can see right through it. No need for a reflective layer of silver or gold.

TRIVIA: Gold sells for about $1,000 an ounce. But one ounce of average quality, 1-carat diamonds will sell for $825,000.

Diamond – 825 times better than gold.

“Storage media such as compact discs and DVDs that were thought to last don’t — they often fail within a few years. The backup discs you make today may become damaged or obsolete in the future.”

Writing to the Cranberry DVD

Specialized hardware is required to etch the diamond-like surface of a Cranberry DiamonDisc. The cost of this hardware puts it out of the reach of most consumers. This is why we’ll need to etch your DiamonDisc for you.

Nokia has been trying to get the notice of the smartphone users with new and shiny devices with more and more performance oriented features. Since Symbian’s S60 has grown up with more robust user experience, Nokia has been releasing more phones of s60 platform, especially now with s60 5th edition that support touch screen.

The new product that the mobile phone giants has already launched in select locations is the X6. As it has been assumed, the x series has been a prototype of the recent n-series and xpress music handsets by Nokia.

Just like the N97, it has also got a 3.2 inch Touch Screen Display and 640 x 360 pixels – nHD resolution. I didn’t find any remarkable difference between the other recent phones by Nokia. It is apparent that the Phone will fail to draw user attention to the level the company is expecting.

Ever wondering to translate the business card you have been given by one of your business Contact? Or you may need to translate a whole article in another language. Unlike the past, the professional translation systems has just got better, faster and more convenient.

There are name translation services available, for example Transila, who provide an affordable translation solution who may even be paid for the words one has translated. These services are also an easy way to translate a range of text, from a simple business name to a long text of article; some of these services will allow users to register for free and order the translation online.

Services like Transila offers its users a professional translation service through which users can translate just anything between most languages and all translation works are done by professional translators expert in the specific subject area.

I think that such services are reliable since translation is conducted by professionals and the translated document can easily be evaluated.

Finally it’s here! The Google and Verizon prediction has came out to be true with the Motorola flavored Droid phone that will be available to the Verizon users in later this year, probably by the mid-December. It is apparent that Verizon is targeting the phone for the Christmas-day buyers.

So, what do you get with the Driod? Motorola has a clear explanation of everything it holds. It comes with a ARM Processor running at a speed of 550 MHz. Android is the platform and it supports CDMA 1X 800/1900, EVDO rev A network only (That’s for the Verizon users, you see). It has got a 3.7″; WVGA (480 x 854 pixels); 16:9 widescreen TFT display which is not much attractive though, except for the high resolution that will enable users to surf the net with more visible content at a time. Like most other modern-day phone, it lacks a physical keyboard but has the touchscreen full QWERTY virtual keyboard in the large resistive touch display.

Motorola Droid, homes the Webkit HTML 5 web browser and is expected to be loaded with in-browser Adobe Flash Player 10. Now with Flash 10, it’s a performance question whether the phone hardware will be able to accelerate the renderings of Flash 10 or will give us a poor display performance.

Well, the phone comes with a number of connectivity options like Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Wi-Fi b/g and Data Access facilities. I am just sick of thinking that why it doesn’t come with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n!! By the way, as local connectivity, we get micro USB connection with USB hi-Speed; Of the other features, Motorola Droid has got the similar specs for Camera, GPS and 3.5mm connctivity as like the HTC Hero.

Since it’s a Google Android phone, you will definitely get loads of Google apps pre-installed on the phone, along with the very good you-tube application and Google Maps App. It also comes with some of the Google services like Google talk, Google search etc built-in with the phone. Let’s hope it will meet the consumer expectations.

HTC has recently unveiled one of it’s series of great smarphones; HTC Hero is undoubtedly a device that will draw the attention of the gadget lovers. With a Qualcomm® MSM7200A™ processor running at the speed of  528 MHz running beneath the Google’s Android operating system, it is definitely going to hit the market.

What HTC tries to make special with the phone (In fact with all the most recent phones they released), have widgetized the home screen so that the users can stay in touch with the world of social networks and information without a worry. Accessing information like weather forecast or latest news will be just in the hopescreen, as well as the maps.

The other specifications include a  288 MB RAM, 8.128 cm TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 320×480 HVGA resolution. The phone supports a network setup of UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (900/2100 MHz), GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). A physical trackball will help you control the device more comfortably with that enter button in the middle. HTC Hero homes a internal GPS antennae, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with EDR. You can easily connect your device with a 3,5 mm Audio jack for high-performance Audio and/or use the HTC ExtUSB™ (11-pin mini-USB 2.0 and audio jack in one). Phone memory is expandable with microSD cards. So far the 5.0 megapixel color camera with auto focus Camera has been reported very good in some user forums.

Apple’s iPhone is a very successful phone and is really a popular gadget of the time. Alongside the hardware features what makes is special is it’s powerful user interface, the iPhone platform. Google’s android, however, has been trying to overdo and compete the iPhone and it’s first attempt has received much admiration from the tech savvy people around the world.

Google, the internet giant, has been working to make Android a success and has been working in partnership with well known operators. Along with their present venture with T-Mobile and Sprint, recently they have came into partnership with Verizon which was considered to be a ‘unusual’ partnership; yet earlier this month, after working for 18 months, they are about to bring two mobile phones in Verizon USA network running Google’s Android mobile operating system and announces to continue the venture to make Android a more mature mobile operating system and expect to equip the platform in more smartphones. The company spokesmen, however, kept a secret about their partnership with the actual hardware manufacturer. But there is a rumor around that Motorola and HTC may work on the Android phone’s.

Smartphone industry has grown in a large proportion and may be Google has chosen Verizon keeping the huge number of subscriber, even though Verizon do not have a good history of feature-rich phones for their subscribers.

Google will be glad to continue it’s efforts in making Android a better mobile platform. Let’s see if Android could put a deep imprint in the smartphone market in these recession days.

Since the evolution of internet TECHNOLOGY, shopping has become convenient through thousands of reliable online shops that are enhancing our digital lifestyle and providing us with services and products ranging from books to prescription medicines.

For example, buying medication from a pharmacy sometimes may waste your time, moving from one pharmacy to another. But buying medicines online is just like buying a Science Fiction novel from an online bookshop. An Online Pharmacy usually offers a convenient way of buying the necessary medicines. They will generally allow buyers to search for a medicine either from a list or through a search query. In most cases, these shops maintain a wide selection of medication. Upon completion of the order, the ordered items are delivered very fast. Moreover, online pharmacies  like OnlineUSHealth.com offer services beyond a traditional pharmacy. Some online pharmacies like that one may have the facility to fill out a brief questionnaire after selecting a medication and can provide with a prescription, too. This is a legitimate process since online consultation is accepted as valid source of health information from which a physician can determine the appropriate treatment. The method of treating patient through internet communication are now widely used around the world. Just as a caution, make sure that the service provider offers them through licensed physicians and approved medications.

However, limitation of such consultation exist and does not eliminate the necessity of physical consultation with a doctor. Also, you should make sure that your order is secure (just like any other online shop) and privacy is maintained by keeping your consultation confidential.

It seems that technology has touched every sphere of our life through effective use of innovations and made our digital lifestyle more convenient, easy.

If nature has given men the power to innovate, wouldn’t it be better if the innovations reflects the nature? And obviously, imitating nature is not going to cause harm to humanity rather than bringing some convenience to the people. Well, I am talking about the latest innovation by Qualcomm, a kind of reflective display technology that has been developed inspired by nature and gives a better performance and is more comfortable to eye than the traditional display technologies like LED or AMOLED.

They call it mirasol, a display technology that is based on a reflective technology called IMOD (Interferometric MODulation), putting the MEMS structures as the base making the whole thing extremely low power consuming, and highly reflective enabling the display to be seen even in direct sunlight.

According to Qualcomm, their engineers have developed the mirasol display by “studying and mimicking nature’s processes and structures”.

Since, it’s a relatively new technology, it may appear to be costlier for the device manufacturers to implement as a result of which the device may become of high-price range. But as the technology is both energy efficient and human-friendly, they will be chosen by device manufacturers aiming at providing consumers with better experience and more mobility by enhancing the battery life. It looks like that this display technology is a major breakthrough in the industry.

Researchers in the field of bio-technology is working hard to provide consumers more reliable way to achieve their fitness through taking nutrients along with body-building exercises. Recent Technological advancements in the field suggest that taking supplements can help the body-building processas well as products like gaspari nutrition protein can help maintaining a sound body.

Supplements can never replace a sound diet and physical exercises necessary but since protein is an essential elements of the body and especially important for the muscles, protein supplements can be a blessing of modern bio-technology to an athlete or anybody who just want to build a better body.

It is apparent and logical that the companies working behind the development of such nutrients are concerned about the important elements of the building-block of the muscles and the whole body and the importance of protein and other such elements. So, their efforts are praiseworthy. A supplement can be more conveniently used and is considered to be more easily digestible than a regular meal while can deliver exactly the elements required without those extra fats, additives. Such supplements can be useful in gaining body weight while not losing the body mass. Some supplements can also help the body building process by helping to lose weight and building seriously powerful muscle stacks!
