Apple Wants Your Ears to be Safe

Have you ever heard this……that you possess the music system and your neighbors having its remote control? Similar is the idea of Apple appears to me to have an auto controlling volume control within the iPod.

According to one of the reports it was suggested that most of the iPod users plug in their iPods at loud volume. On which experts have stated that prolonged exposure to loud music could ultimately lead to hearing loss. Acting on this Apple has decided to take a stand on the situation by developing a system wherein your iPod would act as a health partner, it would automatically reduce the volume level of your iPod to a safer level after certain period of hearing the music at loud level.



I believe it is a step which could reduce the sales of iPod because I think it will be really annoying as in to reduce the music level while one is listening to a song. I think what Apple could do instead of this is that they may issue an warning or cautious note where in they can inform the iPod user to hear the music at a stipulated volume. Or they can provide in with 2 modes one for auto health and other without it.

Well these are all if and buts, it may or may not happen so lets wait and watch out for this new development @ Apple iPod. Lets not rule out Apple as it is known to bring in revolution in the field of technology may be it might turn out to be the best possible change in technology so lets gear up to see the latest happening in iPod..............

Google Text Ad Trojan Detected

An Romanian antivirus company BitDefender has detected an virus in Google's Ad Network.The virus Trojan.Qhost.WU replaces the google's textual ads with ads from a different provider.

The Virus has potentially effected the Adsense users and Google. The users are effected as it takes away the potential revenue which a particular Blooger generates through the Google's ad network and also the ads may contain malicious code which may potentially harm the users computer.

On its Web site, BitDefender describes the Trojan, as spreading at a "low" level and causing medium damage. Although Google has an auto detect system which detects such malicious code but still it failed to detect this virus at the first place of occurrence which now leaves Google with some loop holes to be filled.....................

Earn With PDF Ads......................

Following the trend setup by Google in Web documents , Yahoo and Adobe are bringing pay-per-click ads to Adobe's Portable Document Format. This will enable PDF publishers to serve ads inside PDFs distributed on Web sites and over e-mail that are contextually relevant to the content.This according to me is the best way to acknowledge the free way publishers who selflessly contribute their White papers and documents of importance to Web.

From the Demo available on the adobe website it seems the Ads will we appearing on the right and left side of the document.The Ads will be displayed dynamically on the basics of content of the PDF, it appears to me they would be using the usual paper raking algorithm that is to count the number of times a particular word appears on the page and for similar phases within the same domain.

I tried to use the serivce and found that it is very easy to use. I clicked the Register PDF button, and uploaded a PDF. The file status initially was set to Pending, indicating PDF was being processed for relevant Ads. But within a couple of minutes, the file status change to Registered and I received an e-mail with the PDF modified to accept ads.

As was the case with Google Adsense, I think this move would definitely encourage more people sharing their knowledge, and hence ultimately serve in bringing valuable knowledge to recognition............

Non-Contact Thermometer

Kidz-Med ThermofocusA company called Kidz-Med, Inc. has launched a new thermometer called, "Thermofocus", claiming it as the first thermometer to take accurate body temperature readings without touching the body.

It uses the infrared technology to measure body temperature by just pointing the thermometer towards forehead. As forehead is only body part which has considerable amount of blood supply and with no hair cover which enables this device to get the exact temp. It is claimed to take less than 1 sec to measure body temp.

Well this device looks good to me although i cant comment upon how much reliable its results would be but it looks an easy to use than the standard thermometer available.
