Men like to aim
Studies have proven that when going to the bathroom, spillage is reduced by 80% if men find something to aim in the urinal. Hmmm … could it be ? Check this urinal from a public restroom in Amsterdam :
Samsung - 8 GB flash chip for mobile phones
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has begun shipping samples of an 8 G-byte flash memory chip, enough to store up to 2,000 songs on a mobile phone, the company said on Monday.
It expects to begin mass producing the moviNAND chip, which it called the highest-capacity embedded flash memory device developed so far, by the end of the year.
Samsung’s moviNAND line combines flash memory and firmware in an embedded chip for mobile phones and other portable devices. The chips use the widely-used MMC (multimedia card) interface, allowing manufacturers to integrate them into devices faster and more cheaply, Samsung said.
The MMC also allows for fast data transfers. The new chip can process 52 M-bytes of data per second, double the performance of Samsung’s 4 G-byte chip, the company said.
Samsung started producing 1 G-byte and 2 G-bytes moviNAND chips last September. It expects worldwide sales of the chips to reach US$4 billion [b] by 2010, it said.
NAND flash memory chips are small, fast and use low power. They are also used in memory sticks, multimedia players and other devices.
