TED: Bill Gates on Energy: Innovating to Zero

Factors that contribute to CO₂ emission.

Theres little we can do about
1. Population - increases with time.
2. Services Per Person - increases with time.

But, we can make a difference in
3. Service Per Energy - by better energy saving inventions.
4. CO₂ Per Unit Energy - reduce carbon emission, with renewable energies, Nuclear energies.

Finally, not just Bill Gates's wish. I'm sure is everyone else's wish.

TED: Kelvin Kelly tells technology's Epic Story

A very good talk on what technology is about.

Some of the phrases that caught my attentions:

1. The confusion about new technology: Now the new default position about a new technology that come about is the "precaution principal"... when you meet a new technology, you stop, until it can be proven that it brings no harm.

2. The better way is the "proactionary principal": You engage with technology, you try out -
try to anticipate it,
constantly assess it,
evaluate the risks,
fix it, and
relocate it.

3. The response to a "bad idea" is a "better idea".

4. Technology brings us:

Thats why people leaves villages to the cities, because people always gravitating towards increasing choices of possibilities.

5.

if we allow it to :)

Omnia 2 i8000 FPU enabler

After running the FPU enabler by NuShrike and Chainfire, we can observe significant improve in Floating Point instructions execution and RAM access.

Hope Microsoft and Samsung will focus the development for FPU support in Kernel level in the future.

Note: This is just a proof-of-concept by the developers, ie. NuShrike and Chainfire.
