Self-driving cars a reality for 'ordinary people' within 5 years, says Google's Sergey Brin
Google's cars have done about 300,000 miles of road testing, but not without incident, Brin said. The most the cars have achieved without "safety-critical intervention" -- or a driver needing to take control -- is about 50,000 miles, he said.

Microsoft literally overestimated power need of Bingo search !
Microsoft and Yahoo both
surprisingly overestimated their power use. When they were order to
each pay tens of thousands in fines Yahoo paid its $94,608 USD penalty
without question. But Microsoft stood its ground, refusing to pay the
$210,000 USD fine requested by the utility.
According to current and former company employees, Microsoft's Quincy servers ran Bing — its challenge to Google’s search engine — the Hotmail service and other so-called cloud functions.

Oppo Unveils World's First 1080p Smartphone
The device is going to ship with Android 4.1 on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor. To get an idea of how powerful this chip is, the APQ8064 easily beats the Exynos 4412-based Galaxy S III and Tegra 3-based Nexus 7 on a number of benchmarks. Other rumored specs include 2GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front facing camera, 16GB or 32GB of storage and a 2,500mAh battery pack.

99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Why? Well, at 4nm node it is simply end of Moore's scaling scales ! The other manufacturers would stop a few years later. If atomic deposit layer electronics is in. However, at atomic layer thickness electronics will become single electronics ! That is good ! Well, not quite in speed terms. So, kind of abrupt split in electronics. The new one should be called Atomic Layer Single Electronics.

Intel: 10nm geometry is still economical
Well, if combined with 450mm wafers.But,
As
for Intel's research into 450mm wafers, Bohr said that the larger
wafers are somewhere between four and five years away, once again making
the technology unlikely to hit in time for Intel's 10nm process node.
TMSC invest $10B in 450mm___________________________
99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: What will happen after, with 7nm node? Nobody knows. No 450mm by then, no economical 7nm production. 7nm seems to be the last unified manufacturing road. Then the split will follow.

WD® Creates World's Thinnest 2.5-inch Hybrid Hard Drive - 5mm
WDCreates World's Thinnest 2.5-inch Hybrid Hard Drive
WD’s innovative hybrid technology pairs MLC NAND flash storage for fast SSD-like data throughput and instant-on responsiveness with magnetic disks for efficient, high-capacity storage. Similar to the practice of multi-million dollar enterprise systems, WD’s hybrid technology utilizes the concept of tiered storage. Data accessed most frequently (often referred to as ‘hot’ data) is managed using speedy NAND flash to ensure fast response times, while data accessed less often (‘cold’ data) resides on the robust magnetic disks.
WD 5 mm hybrid hard drives will enable the market’s thinnest computers to offer 500 GB of capacity, utilizing almost 50% less volume compared to current 9.5 mm hard drives and at one tenth the cost of similar capacity SSDs.

Google is rewiring !
Meet the Man Who’s Rewiring Google From the Inside Out
“The cloud is young: much to do, many left to reach.”
When you spread data across hundreds of machines, the theorem explains, you can guarantee that the data is consistent, meaning every machine using the system has access to the same set of data at the same time. You can guarantee that the system is always available, meaning that each time a machine requests a piece of information, it receives a definitive response. And you can guarantee partition tolerance, meaning the system can continue to operate when part of the system fails. But you can’t guarantee all three. You can guarantee two of the three, but not all.
“If you’re working with a large-scale distributed system,” explains Seth Gilbert, now an assistant professor in the department of computer science at the National University of Singapore, “you can’t get everything you want.”
