Can a computer work as human brain? SpiNNaker does

A human brain is lot more complex then the most advanced super computer available in the world today. But scientist has been working on developing artificial computer that is said to work as a human brain. In this project more than million high speed ARM processors are used to simulate the processing of a human brain. Yet, the important thing is that despite of one million processors, the proposed computer will be able to model only one percent of the work that actual brain does. Amazing isn’t it?
The computer that works as human brain is called as SpiNNaker. SpiNNaker stands for Spiking Neural Network architecture. Just like human brain, electrical impulses in SpiNNaker are circulated in form of data packets and these packets are sent to all connected neurons, the units of human brain. These connected neurons are represented as equations that are solved at run time of analysis by software embedded in ARM processors.

SpiNNaker has an edge here as compared to human brain because the computer will transmit these data packets at much higher speed than actual biological connection thus the spikes will be transmitted much faster improving the speed of simulation

This kind of simulation of human brain will benefit doctors, neuroscientists and genetic engineers to analyze the complexities of human brain and will also benefit to cure complex human brain diseases and injuries.

Apple A5 processor

Apple A5 processor is a new processor for apple products designed by Apple and manufactured by Samsung. Apple A 5 is expected to be the core processing unit of upcoming apple iphone 5.

Apple A5 uses package-on-package technology, which is an integrated circuit packaging technique that combines discrete logic and memory ball grid array packages.
These packages are arranged one above the other and a standard interface routes the signals in between them.
The main benefit of package-on-package technology is, motherboard space savings and also the RAM device is not coupled with the logic device.

The A5 processor contains ARM Cortex A9 CPU with NEON SMD accelerator and dual core POWER VR SGX543MP2 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), which can move 35 million polygons per second at 200 MHz. The processor powers DDR2 (double data rate) and 512 MB RAM (memory capacity). Neon technology is a 64+128 bit SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data), which is an instruction set that is used in the ARM architecture of A5. This instruction set provides high standard acceleration for signal processing applications. A5 is a system-on-a-chip based technology and it is a single integrated circuit chip that contains all types of signals on a single chip substrate.

iphone 5 what is new?

iPhone 5 the new and advanced iphone series which is expected to release in this year has naturally boosted excitement about it new features in iPhone lovers. There are plenty of rumors all over the internet regarding the expected features and the new technology that are used in it. As android phones are attracting large community of users, iphones are naturally losing its charm. In order to make up this the new release has to be more attractive than the current one.
Following are the most wanted features:
Please note that these are just most wanted features and doesn't mean that all features will be implemented in iphone 5. It is sure that some feature here will not be installed.

Enhanced voice control

Apple didn't show off any new voice-control features as part of its iOS 5 previews in June but it would be cool to be able to compose and send e-mails or text messages by just using your voice.

Removable battery

This well-known rendering of a future iPhone dreams of a model with a removable battery. That appears to run counter to Apple's current design principles. Though this feature is most wanted by the users the chance of implementing this is almost zero.

Expandable memory

Not happening, but just thought we'd mention it.
Chances of implementation: 0 percent

Biometric security

It's hardly a must-have upgrade, but it would be cool to swipe your finger--instead of enter a password--to unlock your phone.


NFC-enabled (near field communication technology)

Rumor has it that Apple may be working on adding near field communication technology (NFC) into the next iPhone. This is sort of a bar code replacement technology that would allow your iPhone--among other things--to act as a payment device (e-wallet) or even a car key.

More memory

A lot of people were disappointed that the iPhone 4 didn't come in a 64GB version (only 16GB and 32GB). Maybe next year we'll get 64GB.

Improved home screen and notifications system

iPhone users have been waiting a long time for a more customizable home screen, with a real "dashboard" and a better, streamlined notifications system. Apple is delivering all that in OS 5, and though the new design may fall a little short for some folks, it's certainly a huge advancement. Of course, Android users will point out that these features, including customizable widgets, have long been available on Android smartphones.


Better cloud-computing support

In previous versions of this list, we've asked for this feature, and we'll now get it with iCloud in the fall. In some ways iCloud is more restrictive than Amazon's iDrive cloud storage solution, which allows you to store all your photos and videos (Apple's iCloud has not addressed video yet), but it's a big step forward, and the fact that you can mirror your iTunes music library (regardless of where you got your music) for $25 a year is an enticing offer.

Video chat (FaceTime) over cellular network

Currently, on the iPhone 4, FaceTime only works over Wi-Fi (yes, there are some workarounds to get it to work over 3G, but Apple doesn't officially support it). In iOS 5, doing FaceTime over a cellular data network is now part of the settings menu but it looks like the carriers have control over whether it's enabled.

Flash support

This feature implementation is the last thing to expect. This is most wanted but it is almost sure that flash support will not be implemented.


Larger screen

Rumors continue to surface that Apple will be expanding the size of its iPhone screen to compete with the larger screens on Android smartphones.

Better camera

We certainly appreciate that Apple improved the camera in the iPhone 4 (5 megapixels; LED flash), but we've seen rumors that Sony is developing an even better 8-megapixel camera for the fifth-gen iPhone.

Dual-core processor


With Apple's acquisition of PA Semiconductor, it's started designing and churning out its own CPUs, including the new 1GHz A5 dual-core processor that's in the iPad 2. That same processor will almost assuredly make its way into the next iPhone. (The iPhone has an A4 processor that also runs at 1GHz, but the A4 has a single-core architecture).
LG, Motorola and some others mobiles already have dual core processor for mobile.

Improved 3D graphics

The A4 CPU has a Imagination PowerVR graphics chip integrated into it. Like the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4 uses a PowerVR SGX535 chip. But the iPhone 5 will presumably get the PowerVR SGX543MP found in the iPad 2.

Better battery life

Every time Apple puts out a new iPhone, the battery life gets better, so we expect no less from the fifth-generation iPhone. Apple says the iPhone 4 has 40 percent more talk time than the iPhone 3GS. So, if the past is any indicator, we might see similar gains in next model.

4G network compatibility

The one big thing missing from the iPhone 4 is next-gen 4G data network support, which is probably why Apple called it the 4 instead of the 4G.

Google plus v/s Facebook

All social networking freaks were really excited about the news of new social networking site that too from web leader Google. There was a day when people used to beg for invitation from the current g+ users for joining G+ and try what is new. But is it worth that excitement?
As most of the people will be into G+ now you would find G+ is nothing but a new copy of facebook. One cannot find any innovative features in G+. For facebook user every feature seems to be exact copy of facebook, a like in facebook is +1 in G+.
G+ as taken advantage of some of the drawbacks of facebook like lack of facility for video chat. G+ hangout option is amazing video chat experience which enables users to group video chat. This feature attracted many users of facebook. But facebook recovered from this drawback soon and with the collaboration with Skype, even facebook provided with the video chat option.
Now G+ buzz seems to be decreasing. According to c-net Google+ had 1.79 million visits for the week ending July 23, a decrease of 3 percent compared with the previous week when the network had 1.86 million visits. By mentioning this statistic I remember previous social networking ventures of Google. That is Google buzz, which was similar to twitter. Buzz did not get any heed from the users. But here the case is different. Google+ got huge welcome and could attract mainly the users of facebook.
Let us watch and see who the real winner here is. Will Google+ really able to succeed in the long run with the social networking giant facebook?
