A.I. Composing and Playing Jazz

The 36 year old PHD student from “Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)”, Øyvind Brandtsegg created a program to break down music into its most simplest form (sound particles) and re-create it into its own variant of music. Without changing the root theme of the sound, it can manipulate and re-arrange these particles to make and create new versions of the music. It can completely improvise on what is has. The program is called ImproSculpt and can also use music created by legacy version, FollowMe.

Adobe C++ Compiler

The new Adobe program still in development called "Alchemy" will be integrated into their current flash compiler is setting Adobe into a prominent position in the area of web development. "Alchemy coverts C++ code into AS3 bytecode (which runs on AVM2), however runs slower compared original C++ compilers. The program itself is loosely based on the open source LLVM Compiler Infrastructure. To find out more information: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/alchemy/

The Grid and Cloud Computing

The technology of "Cloud Computing", currently being used by many web hosting service providers is now being projected to not only be a local thing, but a worldwide effect that will stand on top of the current internet infrastructure. The main difference between the internet and this new "grid" idea is that NOT only can we share information like the conventional internet technology, but we would also be able to combine and share computing resources, effectively making a super super duper computer with exceptional capabilities. Currently this technology is in use in small confined environment and with its own required software and machinery which is not compatibleusually with another external system. Scientists from EU-funded resources calling the project, g-Eclipse are now working in a way where everyone will be able to connect to it and make their own contribution to the grid. Most likely it will be an easy to use Windows like interface and be available almost anywhere. While this may be many years into the future, the idea lends a far greater potential then we could possibly imagine.

Learning A Lot More From The Internet

We know how the internet works from where we are (on earth), though, maybe not at a technical or a scientific level, but definitely a broad understanding of it. Multiple networks, with congruency and the ability to withstand multiple failovers. This basically, means that the network never really dies or falls apart after multiple issues that can occur. This idea is now being taken to the space-age. NASA is now taking this and applying those theories into space. Now with, Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN), NASA will be able to move data such as soil, mineral, imagery etc from all operating satellites which will process this information and help enhance our understanding of the universe which we live.

Remotespy Virus Facilitator

Those that bought the Spyware used it to record unsuspecting users into opening it via secretive hiding procedure. It was explained to these customers exactly how to disguise the software in photos and other attachment to get unsuspecting consumers into installing it onto their computers. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has stepped in and put a temporary stop on all sales involving this software.
