Circuit-switched WAP, popularly misinterpreted as simply 'WAP', was rightly panned for its poor usability. Packet based GPRS services are poised to deliver packet billed applications with better bandwidth than circuit-switched WAP, but the interim...
Lik Sang was one of the top worldwide retailers of 'mod chips' - devices that when soldered to a game console's main circuit board will disable security components. The chips typically allow a game machine to play legally and illegally copied discs...
Mod chips are grey-market add-ons that, once soldered to a console's main circuit board, defeat security systems and enable the machine to run legally and illegally copied discs, import games and homemade software.
The whole mechanism depends upon a good deal of micro-circuitry and at the moment read speeds are not fast but a point in the development has been reached where working prototypes exist and some of those involved are predicting industrial...
Yes, such places do still exist - and stop those negative thoughts about 'seeding future markets'. And part of some well-orchestrated good news released today was a partnership with Orange for machine-to-machine (make that 'M2M') services.
The "museum" sign at the DigiBarn next to a circuit board. A comptometer, a 1914 mechanical adding machine made by the millions. A similar machine was later used at Los Alamos to calculate differential equations for the Manhattan Project.
