LG builds "smart washer"







LG builds "smart washer"

LG builds "smart washer" 09/17/2004 12:40 PM

Every now and then, I come across some news that is just plain odd. This would have to be one of those stories.

If the military can build a missile that can fly through your window and build satellites that can read your license plate... why can't you get a washing machine that helps tell you how best to wash those silk PJs? Well, now you can.

A new washing machine developed by the Dai Nippon Printing Company can read special smart tags on clothing and instruct the user the best method with which to wash the clothes. Not only that, but the LG-built unit can keep track of how many times a particular item has been washed, what material it is made out of, and can even send an email or SMS when your load of laundry is complete.

Just what will they think of next?
(My guess is probably a smart dryer.)

“First Last has reported a weakness in Window Washer, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose “securely” deleted data on a disk. The problem is that the “Add Bleach to Wash” security setting, which should delete a file securely by overwriting it multiple times with random data, doesn’t do this properly. Successful exploitation allows a malicious person to recover the deleted data using various unspecified publicly available tools. The weakness has been reported…

There is a wealth of information available on the Internet and in separate repositories like university library databases. It would save time to be able to search all digital resources using one interface. Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China have come up with a distributed information retrieval system that promises to help. The system could eventually become part of the Internet infrastructure as an extension of the domain name service. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Microsoft builds a better Bit Torrent 06/17/2005 03:18 PM
Researchers at Microsoft's computer science lab in Cambridge have developed a peer-to-peer filesharing system that they say overcomes the scheduling problems associated with existing distribution protocols such as Bit Torrent.

The researchers claim download times are between 20-30 per cent faster, using their network coding approach, than on systems that only code at the server, and between 200 and 300 per cent faster than distributing un-encoded information.
