program).

2. In the Navigation pane (left column on the screen), choose Sent Items, and

TECHNOLOGY TO WATCH: EYE CONTROLED COMPUTERS

Tobii Technology (http://www.tobii.com/) has introduced eye tracking

technology used in current computer products. Eye controlled

computer interaction features hands free movement, and could be

the next stage of computer interaction that allows computer users to

reduce hand fatigue. Advantages of eye input for computers include

the following:

Improve speed and efficiency

Complement or replace keyboard, mouse, and voice input.

Place your hand on the mouse, and the mouse can be positioned where you look.

Look at an object, and issue commands with the keyboard or voice input.

Look to the side of the screen to obtain a widget of available shortcuts

As you read, the screen scrolls automatically down.

Zooming in on what you are looking at can be performed with the mouse or keyboard.

Calendar events can be gradually highlighted until your eyes look at them.

Reduce repetitive stress on the body, as in carpel tunnel wrist injuries.

Sterile environments, as hospitals, labs, and other locations benefit from sanitary surfaces.

_________

FROZEN SMOKE HAS POTENTIAL TO BOOST BATTERY LIFE, AMONG OTHER USES

Frozen Smoke, also known as aerogel, is a substance so small that thousands can fit on a single hair, but

can store large amounts of energy. This could lead to vast improvements in storing power, as with

increasing capacities of laptop batteries and storage for renewable resources, as solar cells. Other uses

include improvements for robotic surgery, detecting toxins in food and water.

Wikipedia has more information on the man‐made substance at the following location:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel

_________

NANOSCALE CONTACTS COULD PROLONG BATTERY LIFE UP TO 100 TIMES

University of Illinois researchers indicate they have created a way of using nanotubes that are 10,000

times smaller than a human hair to extend battery life up to 100 times. Feng Xiong of the research team

was quoted in the journal Science saying “The energy consumption is essentially scaled with the volume

of the memory bit. By using nanoscale contacts, we are able to achieve much smaller power

consumption.” Instead of charges on some devices lasting hours, they could last months. This is

beneficial for laptops, satellites, cell phones, and other devices. More information is available at

Google Android has recently removed 21 applications for the Android operating system that contained

malware. Malware is malicious software that is designed to cause harm by storing information a person

may enter, introduce ads based on user input to web pages, or otherwise damage the operation of your

mobile device. A fake media player Kaspersky Labs named SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a is a type of

Trojan virus designed specifically for the Android operating system.

_________

GOOGLE RESTORES LOST EMAIL

In February, during a server upgrade, Google emails and accounts disappeared for a number of users.

Because Google stores backup copies of emails, account information was restored from backup.

_________

FUN FACTS: COMPUTER BEATS AT JEOPARDY

In February, the computer Watson (designed by IBM) beat top Jeopardy competitors, and joined Deep

Blue (another IBM computer) in beating top human opponents. Top chess champion, Garry Kasparov

was beaten by Deep Blue in a game of chess in 1997. Watson was designed with artificial intelligence to

analyze the Jeopardy answer given by the host, and devise the question most likely associated with the

answer compared to the data given to it. It answered some questions incorrectly, but gave more

accurate answers than its opponents. The computer received questions via texts. Watson had the

information base of dictionaries, encyclopedias, and 200 million pages of content as sources to finally

win Jeopardy. An agreement with IBM has been reached to use Watson’s technology in health care.

_________

HOW TO CREATE OUTLOOK CALENDAR EVENTS

Outlook can alert and remind users of scheduled events,

such as meetings, events, or birthdays. Reminder alerts

can be scheduled before events to alert users in 15 minute

intervals before these events, so the Outlook user doesn’t

forget about the event or appointment. To schedule an

event in Outlook 2010, perform the following:

1. Open Outlook 2010.

2. Click on the Calendar icon on the left side of the

screen.

3. Navigate to the date of the appointment, double

click on the time for the appointment, and type a reminder of the appointment in the Subject

line, and enter the “Location:” line.

4. By default, 15 minutes is set for the reminder time. Click the down button beside the 15 minute

reminder section to choose a notice up to 2 weeks ahead of the appointment as a reminder.

5. Click the Save & close button to save the appointment in Outlook.


Page10

If your phone is synced with Outlook, alerts/reminders can be given on phones for events too. Whether

you are in the web based UK Exchange Outlook web page (http://exchange.uky.edu), Outlook 2010 on

your laptop, desktop, or on a phone synced with Outlook, alerts will be given for appointments.
