Across the bustling busy city street, the gleam off the first metallic public time machine and teleportation device caught the young man’s eye. The apparatus stands alluringly upright, capturing the young many pioneering imagination. The exterior of the machine reminds him of an old telephone booth he had once seen in the virtual 3D theater down the street. ‘Who would have ever dreamed a hundred years ago transportation would have changed this much?’ the young man thought. The machine of dreams of one who dared to dream has taken an improbability and made it a probability. A ticket to anywhere is now possible, for now any point can be reached. For two thousand American dollars you can be whisked away to anywhere and to anyplace in time, at your own risk of course. The young man journeyed towards the device and looked into the time machine staring at the controls, and wondering what the future might hold.

Even though the above story is science fiction, the above story of time travel is only impossible at this very moment. For those who dare to dream can make and pave our ways into a fantastic future.

I currently work for the largest cell phone company in the world. I am so amazed everyday at the advances in our industry. The ability to communicate around the world with the touch of a button is amazing. Whether you are a serviceman in Iraq who is sent a picture of his or her brand new baby, or person like myself who wants to share those special moments with their spouse down the street. The advances are amazing!

I think of the future of the cell phone industry, and the amazing innovations to come in the not so far future. The ability to be able to have a live streaming teleconference is just around the bend. I also think of high-speed Internet access at the speed of light, or being able to rent a movie in your van or car with the touch of a button. I also think of Europe at the very moment, the cell-phone user can purchase a snack in a machine with just the touch of the keypad.

So dare to dream my friends, for the future of innovation is in our hands. Those who dare to dream will hold the keys to the future of innovation.

Do you have a small laptop with a beautiful LCD display? Active matrix is now the standard for laptops and, as a result, the quality of images on most laptops is comparable to most desktops.

Why should you let your TV and your desktop have all of the fun with high-definition programming? High-definition (HD) programming allows you to view movies and television as they were meant to be viewed. Almost all TV viewers who have the opportunity to view HD broadcasts say they strongly prefer them to standard digital and analog broadcasts. Many TV’s now come with HD tuners standard and it is very easy to find HD tuners for PC’s. Unfortunately these have only been available as PCI cards traditionally. PCI cards require you to open your computer and install the card on the motherboard - this is not an option for laptops.

Take advantage of USB 2.0 to watch HD programming Now you can use your USB 2.0 port, which comes standard on virtually every laptop manufactured today, to watch HD programming. Note that USB 1.1 is much to slow to stream video without a lot of choppiness. This technology comes from Korea and has been available in Korea for about two years - now various manufacturers are embracing the technology and products are starting to appear on the American market which will allow you to stream HDTV to your laptop.

DVR-like attributes will be coming Along with the ability to stream HDTV to your laptop comes the ability to record programming to be viewed at a later date. This technology, commonly referred to as digital video recording or simply Tivo-ing, offers you the ability to record HD programming for playback. The USB HDTV adapters available in the US right now do feature time-shift technology, but the ability to download the programming information will require you to find a third-party service. Fortunately these are popping up all over the place to fill the pending demand.

For a long time Intel has been leading the market in processor sales and popularity but AMD is finally putting a stop to that. With the release of their Athlon 64 processor, with 64 bit computing capabilities, they have been slowly but surely regaining the market back from Intel.

The Athlon 64 processors have been around for a while now and they have proven themselves the market leaders in processing power. As we know AMD processor run at a lot slower speeds than Intel processors making them cooler to run. This has eliminated the need for expensive cooling equipment and opened the doorway for overclocking.

Although AMD hit the target by releasing their 64 bit processor long before Intel did, they are not standing still. They have been constantly upgrading their line up to increase speed and efficiency. This is apparent with their fx series processors and their dual core processors.

The fx series processor are the king of the hill at AMD. They are the most powerful processor that is available. They show blistering speeds for CPU intensive functions such video encoding and gaming. They also show great performance in database driven work and most other aspects of computing.

The dual-core line of processor are the ultimate in multi-tasking. They provide the power of two processor running in unison while still being able to fit in a single processor motherboard. Although these processors are essentially two processors in one, they are rather pricy and may not be everyones cup of tea.

Intel is trying to fight back by forming an alliance with Apple. All macs are now available with Intel processors. Whether this will be profitable for Intel only time will tell.

With competition growing stronger from AMD this can only mean increased benefits for the consumer. As the war between Intel and AMD intensifies, the consumer will benefit from lowered prices, and increased quality in their processors.
