Filed under: Internet — Tags: , , , — MOIN @ 7:33 pm

Fujitsu introduced the LifeBook UH900, a teeny but not insubstantial ultraportable, on Dec. 2.

Sized between a smartphone and a netbook, the UH900 features a 5.6-inch sunlight-readable, WXGA display with multitouch capabilities and 500 nits of brightness. And handbag-portable, it measures 8 by 4.2 by 0.9 inches and weighs approximately 1 pound.

The operating system is Microsoft’s Windows 7, which has touch-integrated features surely meant to complement the UH900’s navigation scheme — the multitouch screen, plus five thumb-controlled “Touch Buttons” and what Fujitsu describes as a “thumb-glide point,” that in combination with the Touch Buttons are meant to replace any need for a mouse.

Three of the Touch Buttons can be programmed to launch favorite applications, a fourth controls screen resolution and the fifth, an “ECO button,” can be programmed, Fujitsu said in a statement, for “extending battery life up to 3 hours or to launch media programs…” The intention is for a user to interact with the UH900 as though it were a handheld. For more precise input, a stylus pen is also included.

The processor is an Intel Atom Z530 and, as the UH900 is meant to be used on the go, it offers connectivity to 3.5G networks. (more…)

At the Intel Developer Forum in September, company officials demonstrated its planned “Larrabee” graphics chip, running a scene from a 3D video game called Quake Wars on the processor.

Now Intel officials are shelving the project, saying the development of the processor hadn’t advanced far enough to offer it as a product. Larrabee was scheduled for release in 2010.

Search engines are source of learning

Filed under: Internet — Tags: , , — MOIN @ 6:33 pm

The researchers sought to discover the cognitive processes underlying searching. They examined the search habits of 72 participants while conducting a total of 426 searching tasks. They found that search engines are primarily used for fact checking users’ own internal knowledge, meaning that they are part of the learning process rather than simply a source for information. They also found that people’s learning styles can affect how they use search engines.

“Our results suggest the view of Web searchers having simple information needs may be incorrect,” said Jim Jansen, associate professor of information sciences and technology. “Instead, we discovered that users applied simple searching expressions to support their higher-level information needs.” (more…)
