Fujitsu e-Paper - Bendable Color Electronic Paper

I can see it now - people on the subway reading the news, advertisements, or watching a music video on digital e-paper. I suppose you've seen the movie "Minority Report" as well, but now Fujitsu has announced the development of bendable color electronic paper that could mark the beginning of e-paper multimedia everywhere.

Anticipated Applications
By leveraging the features of this technology, a wide variety of applications can be envisioned for Fujitsu's new electronic paper as a digital medium that can be handled like paper.

Following are some examples:

• Transit advertising on trains, information displays on curved surfaces, and other public display applications that could take advantage of its light weight and flexibility. Information displayed can be updated based on the time of day, enabling more effective advertising and informational signage.


• Electronic shelf display tags, point-of-purchase displays, restaurant menus, and other in-store uses. Can also be used for pricing displays or product information displays that stand out in full color and can be readily updated.


• Operating manuals, work orders, and other short-term information displays, facilitating the trend toward paperless offices or factories.


• Text or images from mobile phones or other mobile devices can be transferred wirelessly to larger displays for easy viewing.


• Use in the home can offer more convenient digital-media devices that can be carried from room to room.
  

The new electronic paper features vivid color images that are unaffected even when the screen is bent, and features an image memory function that enables continuous display of the same image without the need for electricity. The thin and flexible electronic paper uses very low power to change screen images, thereby making it ideal for displaying information or advertisements in public areas as a type of new electronic media that can be handled as easily as paper.

BULLSHIT!

I don't know whether this blog has been sabotage by somebody and sadly Google AdSense never investigate the cause of it and simply disable the account.

The NeoCOUNTER in my blog shows that my blog has been viewed by web surfers from 5 top countries, they are MALAYSIA, UNITED STATES, SWITZERLAND, FRANCE AND CANADA, and probably some other countries as well. I can't tell from where the sabotage came from, and I strongly believe it's sure from some corner of the world.

Recently I've posted two blogs titled 'Battle Over Spam May Veer to Criminal Court' and 'The Battle Over Spam'. Will this leads to such a sobotage? Why Google can simply disable the account without any notification?

Or... maybe this is the way Google makes money! By disabling the account, they can save the profit sharing with you! Watch out guys, they might go after you!

I'm very disappointed with their action and this is really affect customer experience!

BitTorrent

What is BitTorrent?

BitTorrent is a free speech tool.

BitTorrent gives you the same freedom to publish previously enjoyed by only a select few with special equipment and lots of money. ("Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one" -- journalist A.J. Liebling.)

You have something terrific to publish -- a large music or video file, software, a game or anything else that many people would like to have. But the more popular your file becomes, the more you are punished by soaring bandwidth costs. If your file becomes phenomenally successful and a flash crowd of hundreds or thousands try to get it at once, your server simply crashes and no one gets it.

There is a solution to this vicious cycle. BitTorrent, the result of over two years of intensive development, is a simple and free software product that addresses all of these problems.

The key to scaleable and robust distribution is cooperation. With BitTorrent, those who get your file tap into their upload capacity to give the file to others at the same time. Those that provide the most to others get the best treatment in return. ("Give and ye shall receive!")

Cooperative distribution can grow almost without limit, because each new participant brings not only demand, but also supply. Instead of a vicious cycle, popularity creates a virtuous circle. And because each new participant brings new resources to the distribution, you get limitless scalability for a nearly fixed cost.

BitTorrent is not just a concept, but has an easy-to-use implementation capable of swarming downloads across unreliable networks. BitTorrent has been embraced by numerous publishers to distribute to millions of users.

With BitTorrent free speech no longer has a high price.

The Problem with Publishing:
More customers require more
bandwidth



The BitTorrent Solution:
Users cooperate in the distribution
