Intel Launches new high speed connector
Chip manufacturer Intel has announced it is to roll out a new technology for connecting computers and peripherals.
However it won't reach its theoretical maximum because Intel has opted to use copper wires rather than fibre optic cables.
The company said it would gradually move to higher speeds over time.
Apple will become the first manufacturer to use Thunderbolt, on its Macbook Pro computers.
The Cupertino firm is said to have been a major driver of its development, although it remains to be seen how may other manufacturers will adopt the new standard.
Light PeakIntel has been working on the technology for several years.
It was first announced, under the codename Light Peak in 2009.
At launch, its top speed will be limited to 10 Gigabits per second - twice as fast as USB 3.0, but still well below the theoretical maximum using optical cables.
Intel claims that future versions will be able to reach 100 Gb/sec.
The faster data transfer rates are likely to be welcomed by those consumers who use high-definition video, said Sarah Rottman Epps, an analyst with Forrester Research.
"This isn't an innovation that consumers have been asking for, but it's one they'll appreciate," she said.
"Especially when transferring video, as that's when [USB] starts to feel slow."The system also promises to reduce the number of cables a user has connecting their computer setup.
It is able to carry multiple signal types at the same time, enabling power, display and peripherals to use a single cable.
However, in the short term, users may need to invest in special adaptors to connect their older devices onto Thunderbolt sockets.
Its arrival on the consumer market also raises questions about the future of other connector standards, such as USB and Firewire.
Thunderbolt's most high profile supporter, Apple, is expected to gradually transition to a single connector, according to Karen Haslam, editor of Macworld UK.
"In the long run there will be no need for Apple to support these multiple formats with individual ports - existing products can run through an adaptor," she said.
Not everyone is convinced that Thunderbolt will become the lone standard.
Ian Chiu, editor of the website Everythingusb.com told BBC News that the cost of components could put off some manufacturers.
"I don't really know how Intel will make Thunderbolt appealing to all the other first-tier PC manufacturers," he said.
"HP, Sony, Dell, Acer, Asus make most of their money from the low-end and medium-end notebooks.
"On the other hand, Apple's Macbook Pro line-up is targeted at the prosumers, professionals and other people who aren't so price conscious," said Mr Chiu.
Samsung creates the uk’s first social census
Samsung collects the nation’s visual interpretations of ‘now’ through facebook
Inspired by the 2011 national census, Samsung Mobile UK today launches the country’s very first social census asking people to submit photos of a moment that signifies their ‘present’ via social networking sites. The ‘Now Project’ will curate a collection of images that will be logged with time, date and location culminating in a visual census of the UK.
The project, which runs throughout February, invites people to capture images that represent what they are doing or feeling ‘now’. Everything from the commonplace and the ordinary, right through to the unconventional and the unique will be uploaded to an online gallery hosted on Facebook.
Anyone can take part by logging on to www.facebook.com/SamsungUK and by using the special Wave II editing app, images can be beautified and uploaded. Images can then be voted for via the Facebook ‘like’ button. The top 100 will be selected to appear in the social census archive and be displayed as part of the exclusive ‘Now Project’ exhibition at the London Design Museum for one night only on Thursday 24th March.
As well as members of the public, Samsung is kick starting its ‘social census’ by asking well known media personalities to take part. TV presenter Tim Lovejoy has shared his photo of ‘now’ - an image of him snowboarding in Whistler, Canada. Other experts and tastemakers involved include top prop stylist Fred Butler, pop music commentator Peter Robinson (Popjustice) and graphic designer Michael Johnson.
Commenting on the social census, Michael Johnson says: “Capturing what ‘now’ is, will always have relevance. My image of a men’s barbers was inspired by the surrealism of the pictures they use to sell their trade, they sum up ‘now’ but somehow end up being fantastically ‘then’. A social media census is a fascinating way to delve into the nation’s interpretations of what is valuable to them now.”
Prop stylist Fred Butler, designer of the telephone headpiece in Lady Gaga’s Telephone on a Piano video says: “Samsung’s social media census is a cute visual source to scan through for image inspiration with the added bonus of being an instant resource of creatives to research. Blogs and tumblr pages are online diaries recording moments in time and Samsung have neatly brought together a perceptive handpicked selection of informed participants."
The social media census is inspired by the launch of the Samsung Wave II – featuring sleek editing options such as colour boost to intensify images, as well as adding special effects including mist, antique and blur. The handset comes with a 3.7” Super Clear LCD display which offers stunning brightness and improved visibility of user’s favourite pictures.
Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “The unique editing options available on the Samsung Wave II are what make this handset so distinctive. Users can get creative on-the-go, and share their masterpieces on their social networking sites immediately. The ‘Now Project’ gallery is shaping up to be an interesting culmination of pictures, there are some really beautiful and fun interpretations of ‘now’, and we expect the end result to be really exciting.”

The Galaxy S II features Samsung Hubs which provide people with a huge range of entertainment content, advanced mobile games and the ability to manage their online social life.

New voice services on the Galaxy S II convert SMS texts to audio, whilst a Customised Voice Translation application makes the device perfect for taking on holiday, as it translates voice or text to – and from – a range of languages: just speak a word or phrase into the handset and it will instantly translate it, with audio and text output.
In addition, Samsung’s new Kies Air lets people manage their smartphone contents from their PC via local WiFi connections. Download photos taken on the handset’s built-in camera, listen to music stored on the phone, check missed calls and send messages in the web browser on their PC.

Nokia and Microsoft form partnership
Nokia has joined forces with Microsoft in an attempt to regain ground lost to the iPhone and Android-based devices.
Click to play
Rory Cellan-Jones asks Nokia's Stephen Elop and Microsoft's Steve Ballmer why they chose to form an alliance
The deal will see Nokia use the Windows phone operating system for its smartphones, the company said.
It means that Nokia's existing operating systems will be sidelined.
Speaking at the launch of the partnership, Nokia's chief executive Stephen Elop revealed that there would be "substantial" job losses as a result of the tie-up.
Nokia will remain "first and foremost...a Finnish company. Finland is our home and will remain our home," he said.
But job losses around the world, including in Finland, will be inevitable, he added.
Windows first
Speaking about the new partnership with Microsoft, Mr Elop said that "the game has changed from a battle of devices to a war of ecosystems".
"An ecosystem with Microsoft and Nokia has unrivalled scale around the globe," he said.
Microsoft's chief executive Steve Ballmer was also present at the launch, underlining the importance of the deal to the computing giant.
"Nokia and Microsoft working together can drive innovation that is at the boundary of hardware, software and services," he said.
Microsoft's Bing will power Nokia's search services, while Nokia Maps would be a core part of Microsoft's mapping services.
The new strategy means Nokia's existing smartphone operating systems will be gradually sidelined.
Symbian, which runs on most of the company's current devices will become a "franchise platform", although the company expects to sell approximately 150 million more Symbian devices in future.
"It is a transition from Symbian to Windows phone as our primary smartphone platform," said Mr Elop.
Windows may not be the exclusive operating system for Nokia tablets though.
Mr Elop was at Microsoft before joining Nokia"We reserve the right to introduce tablets using other platforms, including ones we may be working on internally," he said.
There was no specific announcement about when the first Windows-powered Nokia phone will be available.
Mr Elop revealed that the firm did consider a tie-up with Google's Android operating system.
"We spent time with our colleagues at Google and explored the Google ecosystem but we felt we would have difficulty differentiating within that ecosystem," he said.
It was also revealed that talks with Microsoft only began in November, illustrating how quickly the deal has been pushed through.
Future clashesThe move away from Symbian is a brave decision for Nokia, according to experts.
"This is a clear admission that Nokia's own-platform strategy has faltered," said Ben Wood, an analyst with research firm CCS: Insight.
"Microsoft is the big winner in this deal, but there are no silver bullets for either company given the strength of iPhone and Google's Android," he added.
Nokia's share of the smartphone market fell from 38% to 28% in 2010, according to monitoring firm IDC.
Nokia's upcoming Meego operating system will also be sidelined.
According to the company statement: "MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices."
The MeeGo platform was expected to form the core of Nokia's future smartphone and tablet strategy.
The company says it still plans to ship one Meego device by the end of 2011.
For Magnus Rehle, the Nordic managing director of research firm Greenwich Consulting, Nokia may have difficulty juggling its three operating systems: Windows, Symbian and MeeGo.
"Three platforms is a lot to work with. I'm not sure there is room for so many platforms," he said.
And, as with any tie-up, there could be clashes between the two firms, he said.
Earlier this week Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop sent a memo to staff warning that the company was in crisis.
The memo, published first by technology website Engadget, said that the mobile giant was standing on a "burning platform".
"Elop has to convince the best people to stay and some people will inevitably be jumping off the burning platform," said Mr Rehle.
