Why the Internet of Things isn’t about things at all Just what is the Internet of Things? The generally accepted definition is a digital ecosystem wherein everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data. The ‘things’ in this case are just about anything that can be fitted with a chip and connected to the internet – cars, wearables, appliances, machines and many more. The culmination of all this is a world where your devices all talk to each other. Your fridge sends a reminder to your watch to buy milk when it detects you’re about to run out.

  Pre otkrića mikroprocesora tokom ranih 70-tih, računari su bili veliki, skupi sistemi koje su posedovale velike korporacije, univerziteti, vladine agencije i institucije sličnih veličina i značaja. Krajnji korisnici nisu direktno stupali u interakciju sa mašinama, već su umesto toga pripremali zadatke za računare ne oflajn opremi, kao što su bušene kartice. Određeni broj zadataka je sakupljan za računar, a zatim je procesiran i izvršavan u grupnom režimu rada. Nakon što bi posao bio završen, korisnici su mogli da sakupe rezultat. U nekim slučajevima prošli bi sati ili čak dani od trenutka slanja posla na obradu pa do izbacivanja rezultata. Interaktivnija forma računara se komercijalno razvila sredinom 1960-tih. U vremenski deljenom sistemu, više računarskih terminala su omogućavali većem broju ljudi da dele upotrebu jednog mejnfrejm računarskog procesora. Ovo je bila standardna upotreba u poslovnim aplikacijama, nauci i inžinjeringu. Neki od prvih računara koji bi se mogli nazvati "personalnim" bili su rani miniračunari kao što je LINC i PDP-8, a kasnije VAX i veći miniračunari od Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Data General, Prime Computer i drugih. Po današnjim standardima, oni su bili veliki (otprilike veličine frižidera) i koštali su na desetine hiljada američkih dolara, tako da su ih retko kupovali pojedinci. Međutim, miniračunari su bili prilično interaktivni i uskoro su imali sopstvene operativne sisteme. Miniračunar Xerox Alto (1973) je bio kamen temeljac u razvoju personalnih računara zbog svog grafičkog korisničkog interfejsa, bitmapiranog visokorezolucijskog ekrana, velikog internog i eksternog skladišta, miša i specijalnog softvera. Era miniračunara je bila prelazni korak od mejnfrejm računara do upotrebe personalnog računara. Miniračunari, preci modernih personalnih računara su koristili ranu tehnologiju integrisanih strujnih kola (mikročip), što je omogućilo redukovanje veličine i cene, ali nisu posedovali mikroprocesore. To je značilo da su oni i dalje bili veliki i teški za proizvodnju, baš kao i njihovi mejnfrejm preci. Razvoj mikroprocesora sa jednim čipom je bio ogroman katalizator za popularizaciju jeftinih, lakih za upotrebu, pravih personalnih računara. Altair 8800, predstavljen u Popular Electronics časopisu januara 1975. godine je za to vreme postavio nove standarde za nisku cenu računara, omogućujući probranim kupcima tokom 70-tih godina da postanu njegovi vlasnici. To je bilo praćeno sa IMSAI 8800 računarom, koji je imao slične mogućnosti i ograničenja. Altair i IMSAI su u suštini bili smanjeni miniračunari i bili su nekompletni: povezivanje tastature ili ekrana na njih zahtevalo je teške i skupe "periferije". 1976 godine Kooro Manufacturing & Electronics Cooperative u Skoplju, Makedonija proizveo je u ograničenoj količini mašinu koja je imala sve u jednom (integrisana tastatura, monohromatski monitor, 8-inčni flopi disk drajv i 16 kilobajta RAM-a) za potrebe vladinih službenika. Bio je sličan po izgledu modelu računara TRS-80 Model III koji je koristio sopstveni operativni sistem. MOS 6500 serija mikroprocesora je dovela do redukcije u troškovima kreiranja računarskih sistema. Commodore PET, TRS 80 i Apple II, takođe poznat kao 1977 Trinity od strane časopisa Byte, obično se navode kao prvi personalni računari. Pogotovo Commodore PET, koji Byte naziva prvim. Dizajn Commodore PET-a, mašine integrisane u jednu celinu koja je imala monitor, tastasturu i uređaj za podatke, najviše je inspirisala razvoj Macintosh računara od strane Applea. 12. avgusta 1981. godine pojavio se IBM PC, koji je revolucionalizovao tržište računara. Lotus 1-2-3, kombinovani program za rad sa tabelama (inspirao ga je VisiCalc), prezentacione grafike i jednostavni program za rad sa bazama podataka su postali PC-jeve pobedničke aplikacije. Dobri procesori reči su se takođe ubrzo pojavili, posebno predstavljanjem Microsoft Worda za Apple Macintosh 1985. godine (dok su ranije verzije Worda bile kreirane za PC, on je inicijalno postao popularan preko Macintosha). 3. januara 1983. godine personalni računar je proglašen za "Ličnost 1982. godine" od strane časopisa Time. Tokom 1990-tih, moć personalnih računara je radikalno porasla, zamućujući do tada jasne granice između personalnioh računara i višekorisničkih računara, kao što su mejnfrejm računari. Današnji vrhunskli računari se razlikuju od personalnih računara po većoj pouzdanosti i većoj sposobnosti za multitasking, a ne po sirovoj procesorskoj snazi. U današnjoj svakodnevnoj upotrebi, personalni računari i PC obično označavaju mašinu koja je IBM PC kompatibilna. Zbog ove asocijacije, neki proizvođači personalnih računara koji nisu IBM PC izbegavaju upotrebu ovog termina za opisivanje svojih proizvoda. Zahvaljujući mrežama, Internetu i sličnim faktorima kao što je upravljanje digitalnim pravima, moderni personalni računari nisu više ekskluzivni alati svojih korisnika. Podrška za desktop računare u poslovnom svetu sada zahteva isto toliko birokratije i profesionalnog treninga kao što je zahtevalo i upravljanje vremenski deljenom mašinom, sa dodatnom manom mnogo slabije bezbednosti i velikog broja korisnika koji znaju dovoljno da lako upadnu u probleme, ali ne znaju dovoljno da se iz njih izvuku.

Tim istraživača koji istražuju način da neprestano nadgledaju dinamiku mozga i kretanje impulsa u njemu bez da moraju da primenjuju specijalne gelove i elektrode na obrijanoj glavi pacijenta, razvio je specijalnu bejzbol kapu za tu namenu. Kapa sadrži pet ugrađenih suvih elektroda koje dodiruju glavu nosioca, dok jedna jedina elektroda iza levog uha, prima EEG signale. Odatle, signali se bežično šalju i mogu da se obrađuju u realnom vremenu kako bi se, na primer, utvrdila pospanost vozača. Gurui koji stoje iza ovog projekta polažu velike nade u budućnost ovog proizvoda, i već planiraju da ga koriste u raznim medicinskim scenarijima, kao i za kontrolisanje kućnih elektronskih aparata.

Usred svih fanfara koje su objavile pojavu iTunes telefona i iPod Nano, Apple je takođe predstavio izmenu softvera koji povezuje uređaje sa PC i Mac. Postoji nekoliko razloga zašto je potrebno obratiti pažnju na iTunes 5. Nekoliko izmena utiču i na Mac i na PC korisnike. Evo nekih od njih: - Dodak karakteristike koju Apple naziva “Smart Shuffle”. Popularana osobina iTunes je mogućnost pravljenja tzv. izmešane (shuffle) playliste. To znači da korisnik pravi svoj skup melodija. Zatim, iTunes vrši slučajno raspoređivanje, tako da se pesme reprodukuju bez obzira na album sa koga su snimljene ili na njihov redosled na albumima. - Izgled iTunesa je izmenjen i sada je mnogo bolji. - Ima bolje mogućnosti pretraživanja. U jednom neobičnom zaokretu kompanije Apple, koja je sve svoje proizvode, sasvim razumljivo, prilagođavala Macintosh korisnicima, izmene iTunesa mnogo više odgovaraju PC korisnicima. Na primer, izuzetna osobina iTunesa je bila mogućnost učitavanja kalendara i adresara na iPod. Na žalost, Macintosh korisnicima je to nedostupno, ali Windows korisnici mogu da sinhronizuju adresare iz Outlook Express sa iPod.

Čitanje elektronskih knjiga na vašem računaru može da bude prava mala vežba u strpljenju i toleranciji. Računarski ekrani nisu dizajnirani za prikaz teksta na isti način na koji to radi knjiga, i teško je naći ijedan program koji je sposoban da izađe na kraj sa svim eBook formatima koji se koriste (PDF, HTML, TXT, PRC, LIT, RB i lista se nastavlja). Iako Adobe-ov novi Digital Editions eBook čitač ne rešava pomenuti problem, on predstavlja elegantno novo rešenje za čitanje PDF, Flash i XML fajlova. Mnogo manje opterećuje od Adobe Reader-a i dizajniran je specifično za čitanje knjiga. Možete da pravite bookmarkove i tekstualne beleške, kao i da menjate veličinu fonta sa lakoćom. Takođe postoji veliki broj načina za okretanje stranica (pomoću tastera strelica na tastaturi, točkića za skrolovanje na mišu, ili linije za skrolovanje sa strane stranice). Digital Editions je trenutno dostupan za Mac i PC, sa Linux beta beta verzijom koja će se pojaviti kasnije ove godine. Bilo bi lepo kada bi Adobe izbacio i mobilnu verziju za Windows Mobile i Palm uređaje. Iako postoji Adobe Reader za Windows Mobile on je veoma spor i nezgrapan.

Naravno, oni bez trunke srama mogu da kupe LV 2008 sa zum objektivom koji može da se namontira, ali oni među nama kojima je ostalo barem malo ponosa će sačekati nešto bolje. Predstavljamo vam Tessera Technologies, koja je danas objavila lansiranje svojeg OptiML Zoom rešenja koje je dostupno za licenciranje. Data inovacija nam donosi jedinstveni dizajn objektiva i specijalizovane algoritme koji će zameniti "tradicionalne mogućnosti mehaničkog zumiranja u kompaktni modu fotoaparata u kojem nema nijednog dela koji se pomera. Reklamirana kao prvo industrijsko rešenje za nemehaničko zumiranje, ova tehnologija obećava da neće degradirati kvalitet fotografija na način na koji to radi digitalni zum. Međutim, iako sam siguran da oni jedva čekaju da vide svoju tehnologiju ugrađenu u mobilne telefone, tek treba da vidimo da li će se za ovu tehnologiju zainteresovati neko od velikih igrača.

Zaboravite trku za najmanji mobilni telefon na svetu - hajde da napravimo najveći mobilni telefon na svetu! Jedan kinez je razmišljao upravo na ovaj način pa je konstruisao potpuno funkcionalan mobilni telefon koji je 620 puta veći od mobilnog telefona koji mu je poslužio kao inspiracija. Konačni rezultat je težak čak 48 funti, visok je 3 feet-a i ne poseduje nikakve napredne funkcije osim onih najelementarnijih. Na žalost, ovaj mobilni telefon iz kućne radinosti zahteva AC izlaz da bi radio, a posebno se pazite vibriranja ovog mališe kada prima poziv, da vam krov ne bi pao na glavu. Sa druge strane, sigurni smo da zvučnici mogu bez problema da ozvuče jedan omanji kafić.

Uprkos nekim glasinama koje se tiču proizvodne sposobnosti AMD-a u oblasti procesora, izgleda da je ova kompanija, čije se sedište nalazi u Sunnyvale-u, država California, na dobrom putu da uskoro počne sa masovnom proizvodnjom 65-nanometarskih CPU, među kojima će prvi biti model sa oznakom Athlon 64 X2 3600+, zasnovan na Brisbane jezgru, oko kojeg se u javnosti nije podigla naročita prašina. Ovaj procesor nije čak uvršten ni u AMD-ov zvaničan cenovnik proizvoda. Pa ipak, online prodavnica Newegg svojim kupcima već nudi OEM verziju ovog procesora, čiji osnovni takt iznosi 1. 9GHz (sa množačem na 9. 5x) i ima 2x512KB sekundarne (L2) keš memorije. Preko Newegg-a se ovaj procesor može nabaviti za svega 115 dolara, pa moram da priznam da se radi o zaista izuzetnoj ponudi. Možda ćete pomisliti da ovako niska cena garantovano u sebi sadrži neku zamku. Vaša skeptičnost će se pokazati opravdanom već kada malo pažljivije pročitate ponudu ovog poznatog online prodavca. Naime, u opširnijem tekstu ponude je navedeno da se ovaj procesor može kupiti isključivo u kompletu sa matičnom pločom, pri čemu cena čitavog kompleta iznosi 168. 99 dolara. To ne bi bilo naročito strašno, da se ne radi o Biostar-ovoj matičnoj ploči TForce 550 (zasnovanoj na nForce 550 čipsetu firme Nvidia), koja spada u kategoriju jeftinih matičnih ploča namenjenih početnicima, sa svega par dobrih karakteristika i prilično skromnim performansama. Prvobitno su u AMD-u planirali da model Athlon 64 X2 3600+ izbace na tržište u drugoj polovini 2006. godine. Proizveden po AMD-ovom 90-nanometarskom SOI procesu, on je trebalo da radi na osnovnom taktu od 2. 0GHz. Umesto smanjenja brzine takta, u AMD-u su se opredelili za povećanje kapaciteta L2 keša – prema početnim planovima, X2 3600+ je trebalo da ima svega 256KB L2 keša po jezgru. Niska cena garantuje da X2 3600+ neće imati neku ozbiljniju konkurenciju na tržištu, s obzirom da se cena najjeftinijih Intel-ovih Core 2 procesora u ovom trenutku kreće znatno iznad granice od 150 dolara. Jedinu pretnju bi, eventualno, mogao predstavljati Intel-ov Pentium D 915, koji se u Newegg-u danas prodaje po potpuno identičnoj ceni kao i ovaj AMD-ov niskobudžetni dual-core procesor. Imajući u vidu da je X2 3600+ matični (native) 65-nanometarski model, biće veoma interesantno posmatrati kako će on uspeti da se izbori sa ostatkom AMD-ovih procesora iz 90-nanometarske proizvodne linije.
