Comcast To Offer WiMax Service

Comcast plans to launch a mobile Internet service in Portland, Ore., by the middle of this year by reselling Clearwire's WiMax service, the company said this week.

The cable company's chief operating officer Stephen Burke told The Oregonian it would purchase the mobile broadband service wholesale, and likely bundle it along with its cable, home phone, and residential Internet services.

WiMax is the next generation of mobile broadband service, and it offers users a theoretical 75 Mbps on the go. While the real-life speeds aren't as high, it does have higher mobile connectivity than existing options.

Comcast, along with Intel, Google, and Sprint, have invested in Clearwire, but the cable company is a potential competitor with the WiMax operator. Both will soon offer a high-speed home Internet connection as well as a mobile connectivity option. Clearwire charges about $70 for monthly Internet access at home and on the go, but it's unclear how much Comcast's service will cost.

Clearwire, which is still struggling to post a profit, recently announced a rollout plan for a national WiMax network that would cover 120 million people by the end of 2010. The company is hoping to press its time-to-market advantage before 4G networks based on Long Term Evolution technology are deployed.

Most of the major mobile operators have chosen LTE for its 4G network due to its higher theoretical speeds, and compatibility with existing network infrastructure. Verizon Wireless has already announced its aggressive LTE deployment plans, and it's aiming to cover 25 to 30 markets by the end of next year.

Laser show at home

n discos and concerts all of us for certain saw laser shows. It would be quite good to arrange such and at home. And the gadget “Red Hot Laser Show” will allow us to make it.

The wireless device is equipped by a microphone so it is possible not only to see a standard set of laser effects, but also to synchronise them with music. At desire it is possible even to take out gadget on street and to arrange representation there, but for some reason it seems to me, that for good laser show presence of walls and a ceiling in this case is very important.

The design of the device quite corresponds to its function. Developers have tried to give to the gadget as more as possible dynamical look. And red colour and the form of flame underline its appointment.

The Gadget-rescuer

This small device is called to help those who has appeared torn off from a civilisation and requires aid. We will consider it functionality more close.
AM/FM radio. At first sight it can seem, that it is an entertaining function, but after all the important information in case of accidents and extreme situations is broadcasted by radio. And by a radio station announcement it is possible to understand near to what city you are, and in what country, if everything is so bad, that even this information is not available.

Socket for mobile phone charge. Certainly, the most useful function. Only adapters for phones are not included in the complete set. But it is possible to try to combine this gadget with multifunctional charge about which we wrote here.
The thermometer, defining temperature surrounding environment in degrees of Celsius and Farenheit. Most likely, called to help morally as even at +4 by Celsius it is possible to freeze.
Red alarm small light. And this function is intended directly for calling aid. The bright red light submitting signals, will not remain not noticed if there are people somewhere nearby.
Powerful small lightight-emitting diodes. Simply irreplaceable thing in darkness. Light-emitting diodes not only give bright cleart, but also consume not so much, that is also important.

ZO6 Chevrolet Corvette The most powerful passenger car engine.
The Corvette Z06 is the fastest, most powerful car ever offered by Chevrolet and General Motors. It is comprised of an unprecedented level of capability and technology, making it one of the greatest performance values on the market.Chevrolet introduced the Corvette Z06 at the North American International Auto Show.
The Corvette Z06’s powertrain and drivetrain systems are matched to the LS7’s performance capability. The light, four-into-one headers discharge in to new, close-coupled catalytic converters and through to new “bi-modal” mufflers. The mufflers each feature a vacuum-actuated outlet valve, which controls exhaust noise during low-load operation but opens for maximum power.
With 500 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, The ZO6 is the most powerful passenger car engine ever produced by Chevrolet and GM. The LS7 is easily identified under the hood by red engine covers with black lettering.

The aerodynamics of the Corvette Z06’s exterior were shaped by the experiences of the Corvette racing program, where high-speed stability and cornering capability are paramount. And while the racecars use large rear wings, the Z06’s elevated spoiler provides sufficient downforce to balance the road-worthy front splitter without adversely affecting aerodynamic drag. The Z06’s Cd is 0.31.
For all its race-inspired functionality, the Corvette Z06 is designed to be a daily drivable high-performance vehicle. To that end, comfort and convenience are held to a very high standard. HID lighting, fog lamps, leather seating, dual-zone air conditioning, cabin air filtration and Head-Up Display (HUD) with track mode and g-meter are standard.
