    Computing genetic manipulation

    Life, James Hein, Published on 20/05/2015

    » What is the next big thing? Microsoft and some others would like you to believe it is all things cloudy. The problems with that are factors like communication channels between continents, security of information, the reliability of a server somewhere else versus on-site and the army of hackers trying to get into all that information just sitting there. If you have seen the intro to CSI: Cyber you will know what I mean. Another group want it to be virtual reality glasses for all, but as the Google Glass demonstrated, people walking around with even small glasses were not appreciated. At least the VR goggles will mostly be at home. This technology still has quite a way to go.

    Is your phone spying on you?

    Life, James Hein, Published on 01/05/2013

    » I've long been a fan of Firefox, but I somehow missed the announcement of its new OS coming out for mobile phones. Geeksphone, a Spanish start-up, sold out of the first devices with the new OS within a matter of hours and had to shut down its online store as demand unexpectedly exceeded supply. The new units were meant for developers only because the new Firefox OS is still in a very early stage of its evolution. Application development for the new OS is based on HTML5, JavaScript and Open Web standards. The official OS launch will be some time later this year and Google is working with ZTE in China on the project. The first commercial units will be manufactured in Brazil so this is a truly international effort and may be one to watch in the future.

    Choosing cheap Chinese Products over Thai jobs

    By needchange, Created on: 17/10/2010, Last updated on: 24/11/2015

    » Everyone knows the story of what has been happening in the US in terms of the trade deficit with China. If you go to Walmart, almost every product sold there comes from China. Walmart is America's biggest retailer if I'm correct. The trend is the same at many other retailers around the country. So...

    • huhahia commented : most of the time, you pay for what you get... we should think more about how to develop Thai industries rather than blaming the cheap products which Thai poor people really need. Don't forget China is one of countries (less than 5) having full industries. they can manufacture everything they need. Have a look of this list: China Thailand Train speed>350km/hr, export to USA, IND, Thailand ~60km/hr ? Nuclear Plant: 5 plants running. will build plants in UK. zero Airplane: C919 just finished assembly all import Aircraft: J-20, J-10, too many... zero Ship: No.1 in the world mainly import Iron and steel: No. 1 production in the world can be ignored IT's Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent Lazada ?? Computer: Lenovo (no.1 in the world) zero Phone: Huawei, XiaoMi, Vivo, Oppo, Lenovo, etc... ?? Super computer: No.1 calculating capacity in the world ?? White applicants: Haier, no.1 of world ?? If you only focus on the cheap products of China, your starting point is too low. Think about how to improve the Thai modern industries. Thai labor cost is much lower than China... If Thai companies could manufacturer can make same things as China, certainly it will be much cheaper. You know what... the pen I use in the office ... is made in Japan... Man, it's just a pen... nothing to do with hi-tech.... Learn from their strength, not focus on the weakness.
