Kindle Touch's Secret Weapon
     The new Kindle Touch has unveiled a new feature that will enhance the user's ability to read. In many cases, touch screens have a layer called capacitive touch which registers the commands. The problem with this is that the capacitive touch layer adds glare to the screen, rendering the reader incapable of using the kindle touch outside. However, the developers have come out with a new system involving lasers to register touch. Not only would this reduce glare, but virtually eliminate it completely.

"New Intel Chip Runs On Solar Power" 


     Several years of research have led to Intel's near-threshold voltage-processor design. It's heat-sink free, and rather than operating at those super low thresholds all the time, it switches into NTV mode (under 10 mW in power consumption) when its workload is light.
     The technology could even be used to develop "zero-power" architectures "where power consumption is so low that we could power entire digital devices off solar energy, or off the energy that surrounds us every day", like vibrations or movements, ambient wireless signals or solar power.




Autumn

There are many things I enjoy about the fall. I like the changing colors and weather. The weather is not too cold or warm, but the perfect temperature. In addition to this, the local scenery looks a lot more beautiful when the leaves change color. There are also locations where apple and pumpkin picking are popular during the fall. The most enjoyable part of the fall is dressing up for Halloween.
