New Tech Start Up Companies

 Entering the fast track to technology and business success is at the forefront of many young tech companies’ minds (or groups of small tech companies). With some incredible ideas coming into play the tech market remains hard to pin down, but exciting non-the-less.
Sticking a pin in the map at NY, we find some great little tech companies that I feel are at the heart of the matter. I say that as these small little companies usually are passionate about what they are doing while less focused on the shuffling of money and stock share values and really just about what it is they are putting on the market. One of these companies is challenging a very profitable market and could be a game changer in the industry. Zipmark, is a great new mobile payment service that providing quick, easy, and inexpensive payment processing. Seeing this trend pop up over the course of the last year or two at least, I only see it gaining traction as small (and more importantly, mobile) business look hard at costs in a struggling economy. The best part being that the fee structure is simple to grasp, simple to reconcile and provides cost effective solutions to the masses. Well done, keep the surge going-technology should aid us in bringing these costs down for the small businesses.
Another interesting company that I think will bring a lot to the table as the instant information age further develops is CB Insights. They are making new strides in displaying new information and data in a useful way for new start-ups and private companies. I have a specific soft spot in my heart for info data and anything that continues to aid us in comprehending more, faster. We think in pictures, thus give us info in new and better ways. They will continue to aid in decision making process that include determining business partner strength and reliability, vender selection, investment decisions and countless others.
Very similar to that direction is Aqumin, a company displaying trading information in a 3-D format that allows traders to see trends and mass data in a new and more beneficial way. Again to me it is time that technology started to serve us in more specific ways, that meaning that we need to start by knowing who we are as humans and aligning new technologies with our inherent ways of learning, thinking, being, not the other way around. We should not be having to learn technology, technology should learn how to communicate with us. Aqumin takes data technology in that direction, aligning it with how we think-in pictures. That is how all data should be displayed anyways, whenever possible.

 Flexible screens have been in the que for awhile now, but hitting the mainstream market running, has to be difficult. Not since Apple's Iphone have we seen a game changer hit the ground running in the middle of a technology sprint. Now leaders like Samsung are trying to follow up a tough act. At least in the sense of sticking the landing. Much like knowing that the worlds fastest man is in the Olympics, knowing that Samsung has had a viable flex screen created still has to be seen. We want to see if it can enter the market with minimal flaws and show well out of the gates.

Filtering the technology of mass communication

| The Technology and evolution of communication is obviously here, and in the forefront of our lives today; but with all new things comes a chance to re-analyze how beneficial they are. The great thing about the next day as there's things like Consumer Reports, Lonely Planet, and other who give us great information about what to do how to go there and other reviews on relative matters. The problem is the fact that we have all sorts of other things to do besides read reviews all day. 
This is where filters come in and become very much needed in this huge new frontier. For many of us this will be ket to us making sense of all that is out there. Things like Trip Advisor, New York Times List all sorts of Yahoo answers and review sites, are great but at this time is more about how can we find what we really need at moments notice. So once again we are challenged. With time as our enemy - time is never on our side and in the new age of communication it is even worse. What is the next solution what is the next transition as far as how we communicate around the world. The best thing I can think of is to have all sorts of custom filters that are defined by the end-user, us. There are many things coming out now-a-days and I think that new focus can be very powerful in how we end up using the information that is out there on the Internet. For the last few years the web has seen a social impact online through Facebook, Twitter MySpace, and others like that. These reviews and these recommendations moreover are very valuable and the fact that they're based on a foundation of trust a premise of what we do believe our friends now and don't know this is very powerful in the consumer realm. |

Women Are Attracted to Men's Uncertainty

| A study published by the Psychological Science journal reinforced the reciprocity principle, stating that people like others who also like them as well, and revealed that women are more romantically attracted to mysterious men who are unsure about the reciprocity of their attraction towards them. The study was conducted on 47 college women with Facebook accounts, who were asked to view the profiles of four male students who had previously seen their profiles. The men included in the study had to decide if they: a) Liked the women a lot; b) Found the women average; c) Were uncertain whether they liked the women or found them average. The women then had to rate their moods and their feelings and thoughts towards the men. The results showed the validity of the reciprocity principle, revealing that women felt more attracted to men who also found them attractive and liked them a lot than to men who found them average. This proves that people respond to others based on the feelings they receive and give back accordingly. Basically if you like me, I like you back, and if I like you, you probably like me back as well. However, the surprising part of the study was that women were even more attracted to men who were uncertain whether they liked them or not than to men who liked them a lot. It seems that uncertainty is a guilty pleasure for women. The study showed that women who were in the uncertain group were most attracted to the men, even more than women who were in the “like-a-lot” group. Moreover, women in the uncertain group thought about the men the most, which actually increased their attraction towards the men. Likewise, women in the “like-a-lot” group seemed to be in a very good mood in comparison to those in the average group, but those in the uncertain group were surprisingly again in an even better mood. |

 An archiving error by NASA meant 173 data tapes sat in Perth, Western Australia for almost 40 years! ABC Australia said that the tapes containing information about lunar dust were lost before having been archived. They have been kept in a climate-controlled room and can now be used again to find information vital in expanding science's understanding of the moon. The Apollo 11, 12 and 14 missions carried "dust detectors", invented by Perth physicist Brian O'Brien. T |

Google is working with NASA to design and implement a revolutionary new scheme for space communication. Vinton G. Cerf, vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google (responsible for identifying new enabling technologies and applications on the Internet and other platforms for the company) is working with a team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), where he is also a visiting scientist, and at the MITRE Corporation, based in Washington, DC, to design and implement a revolutionary new scheme for space communication. Cerf told Technology Review that he hopes that by 2010, new space missions will be designed to use the new protocols. |
