Sync: BitTorrent’s personal file syncing app
As new cloud services are launched and hosting capacity is no more a feature that would make the difference we’re hearing more about how new products are going to make our data more private and secure at the cloud.
Here is what BitTorrent told to GigaOm about their personal multiplatform file syncing application Sync:
Sync will enable direct synchronization between your machines without any cloud caching. File transfers will be protected via 256 bit AES encryption. There are native apps for Mac OS, Windows and Linux, as well as a native NAS integration.

Altın at arabası ödülü
Esenler otogarında şehirde yaşanan her şeye paralel apayrı bir dünya var. Örneğin bir seyahat firmasının otobüsleri altın at arabası ödüllerini (Zolotaya kolesnitsa) Moskova’da kazanmış. Otobüsler üzerindeki yazılardan anlaşılıyor. Ödülün önemini anlatmak için Moskova yetmemiş olmalı ki Kremlin diye de detaylıca konumlandırmak gereği duyulmuş. Nice altın at arabalı seyahatlere…
Swedes miss Capri after GPS gaffe
LOL!!! Ozgur sent me this link. Swedish relation should have made him happy:
A Swedish couple in search of the isle of Capri drove to Carpi, an industrial town in northern Italy, because they misspelt the name in their car’s GPS.

Bionic eyes become a reality
Today while I was giving a glance on Engadget, I have find an interesting article: “Bionic lens to debut in the next half-decade”
I have always thought since my childhood that having bionic eyes is pretty intriguing. Any one who have watched 6 million Dollar man would probably think alike.
Dante Cesa of Engadget, the author of the mentioned article that according to Professor James Wolffsohn from Aston University in the United Kingdom imagines that within the next decade, the cure to near- and farsightedness will not only exist, but will actually be within reach. Beyond the concept what makes that this is possible is because they are also working with some opthology companies to commercialize the whole concept.
Without any doubt this is a good news with people with eye problems and for blind people. The possibility of combining the bionic lenses/eyes with other type of computer technologies would also make a great contribution and would yield to new advances for people with eye-problems or for professionals like doctors, pilots who might receive additional information about what they see. The potential is endless and advances in nanotechnology and nanoscale fabrication techniques would make possible the creation of these kind of advanced bionic eyes.
Bionic eyed modern Cyclops would replace all concepts previously appeared on comics or movies like Terminator, Bionic Woman…
Some articles related with this issue that I can suggest are:

- Bionic Contact Lens – Everything Is Possible
- Bionic lens to restore vision “available in five years” – Telegraph

Lithium Ion batteries 10 times longer with nanotechnology
While reading gas2.org I found out about a research held at Stanford University that made it possible increasing the capacity of lithium-ion batteries by 10 through usage of silicon nanowires.
Yi Cui, who was the head of the research team says: “Given the mature infrastructure behind silicon, this new technology can be pushed to real life quickly.”
This is good news. Lithium-ion batteries are used widely nowadays and such a boost in their capacity due to nanotechnological achievements would probably help arise of lots of applications in different fields like energy storage, mobile device batteries, electric-powered automobiles etc.
They managed to increase the capacity of batteries by storing lithium inside tiny silicon nanowires. As they soak up, lithium nanowires inflate four times their normal size but unlike other shapes, they don’t fracture.
