Intel and Nokia Create First Joint Laboratory
Intel and Nokia Create First Joint Laboratory
University Research Center Will Lead to New User Interfaces and Experiences
- Intel Corporation, Nokia and the University of Oulu have announced the establishment of their first joint research center.
- One of the first objectives of the new lab is to create new and compelling mobile user experiences that leverage the rapidly increasing capabilities of mobile devices.
- The lab is the latest member of Intel Labs Europe - Intel's European Research Network.
OULU, Finland, Aug. 24, 2010 - Intel Corporation, Nokia and the University of Oulu officially opened the Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center today. It will employ about two dozen R&D professionals and become the latest member of Intel's European Research Network, Intel Labs Europe.
Initially the lab will conduct research for new and compelling mobile user experiences that could leverage the rapidly increasing capabilities of mobile devices. Creating interfaces that are more similar to interactions in the real world can enable experiences that are more natural and intuitive, in the same way that modern games and movies are more immersive through the use of realistic 3-D graphics.
The new lab is well aligned with the MeeGo open source platform recently launched by Intel and Nokia. MeeGo provides the greatest flexibility for developing new 3-D experiences on mobile devices as much of the lab's research activity will also be open source.
"The University of Oulu's focus on future telecommunications solutions as well as electronics and photonics made it the perfect location for the Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center," says Justin Rattner, Intel chief technology officer and director of Intel Labs.
Another potential area of research could look into technologies that allow displaying a 3-D hologram of the person you are talking to on the phone, a capability only found in science fiction movies today. Consumers will feel more involved and engaged with their mobile experience than with current methods.
"3-D technology could change the way we use our mobile devices and make our experiences with them much more immersive," said Rich Green, Senior vice president and chief technical officer, Nokia. "Our new joint laboratory with Intel draws on the Oulu research community's 3-D interface expertise, and over time will lay down some important foundations for future mobile experiences."
The lab will be located at the Center for Internet Excellence at the University of Oulu, and will work closely with the Oulu Urban Living Labs, which provide a unique environment for sensor research, testing and piloting technological and social innovations. The Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center follows a successful industry and academia collaboration model similar to the ones of Intel Labs Barcelona and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Spain, the Intel Visual Computing Institute and the Saarland University in Germany or Intel Labs Berkeley at the University of California at Berkeley in the United States.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 15-by-10-by-1-inch jellyroll pan. Line with wax paper or parchment paper, then grease and flour the paper.
In a small bowl, sift together the ¾ cup flour, the baking powder, spices and salt.
In a large bowl, beat together eggs and sugar until thick, fluffy and light in color. Beat in pumpkin.
Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle batter with nuts, if desired.
Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and springy to the touch. Remove cake from oven, and loosen it around the edges with a knife. Invert onto a clean, smooth kitchen towel dusted very heavily with powdered sugar. Peel off paper. Trim ¼ inch from all sides of the cake.
Roll up cake and towel together, starting with a long side. Place the roll, seam-side down, on a wire rack to cool completely.
While cake is cooling, sift powdered sugar into medium-size bowl and cream it with the butter. Mix in vanilla. Cut cream cheese into chunks and add, beating well after each addition. Mixture should be smooth.
Unroll the cake, spread it with the filling and reroll. Refrigerate until ready to serve, and then dust with powdered sugar.

UNREAL, a food company that removes "corn syrup, hydrogenated fats, GMOs, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives" from candy and replaces those ingredients with "real cane sugar, real milk, more peanuts, and more cacao" has introduced itself to the internet with this video:
Why does it feature at the :34 mark, Gisele Bundchen making mint tea in what appears to be her own home? I ask you, what communicates "health and wellness" better than Gisele brewing up a hot cup of water and mint?
UNREAL considers itself a food company, as it plans to make moves in snacks, breakfast foods and soda in the future, says CEO John Burns. He's a managing partner at Raptor Consumer Partners, which first invested in UNREAL in December 2011. But for now, UNREAL makes five different candies.
"We decided to launch in candy because it has had no significant innovation in some time," Burns says. "Most innovation [in the category] comes in the form of small product line extensions and new packaging."
The company received $8 million in a Series A funding round led by Raptor in June of this year, according to Privco. Burns confirms that the round raised "between $5 million and $10 million" and that Khosla Ventures also participated.
The video features Tom Brady (Gisele's husband), Matt Damon, John Legend and Jack Dorsey -- all of whom lavish praise on the product, amidst scenes involving the hacking of raw agave and the consumption of raw cacao. Burns says that some of these big names have invested in the company, although he won't divulge which ones. There will be more famous faces in the future, Burns says, as UNREAL vamps up an aggressive digital and experiential marketing campaign that targets what he sees as the brand's core demographic -- millennials.
As is the way of most natural and organic products, you might expect UNREAL candy to cost more, but the company says that its products, now in 22,000 stores, including CVS, Walgreens and Kroger, have suggested retail prices of $.89 to $1.29 for individual-size bars and pouches and $4.99 for family sized bags. Burns notes that this is an atypical first move for health-focused products, which normally debut in Whole Foods.
The company was founded by Boston entrepreneur Michael Bronner, the founder of web-marketer Digitas, and his son Nicky. After one Halloween, Michael confiscated 13-year-old Nicky's Halloween candy because it was unhealthy. Nicky did some research, only to find out Michael was right. So the two teamed up to make better candy and picked up Australian chef Adam Melonas to act as Chief Innovation Officer. Two years and thousands of test recipes later, UNREAL debuted.
The video features a wayfarer sunglass-sporting guy in a white coat running the product through taste tests with kids and young trendy folk while an instrumental of "Pure Imagination" plays in the background. And UNREAL products appear to do well.
But I tend not to trust people who wear sunglasses indoors. What's more, when I think of snacks that are "good for you," I mostly think of fruit leather. So I decided to taste-test UNREAL products with Forbes' Sean Kilachand, a self-described "confectionery aficionado," and others in the Forbes offices, to see if the products hold up without a nostalgic soundtrack.

Accurate and Detailed Closed Back Headphones
Pros: Detailed, Accurate and a Fantastic Bass Response
Cons: Could be more isolating
Just a quick review of the KRK KNS 8400 headphones.
For listening and mixing i use a combination of the KRK KNS 8400's, AKG K702's and the Sennheiser HD 650's and these headphones really do hold their own.
To my ears these headphones are brilliant for listening to punk / rock / metal etc and i don't believe them to be as cold and analytical as some may say and really bring tracks to life such as Bring Me The Horizons latest album 'Sempiternal' producing a very well balanced sound with just the right amount of bass.
For my preference i don't like their to be a boost in the bass frequencies so their sound is exactly what i'm looking for and i even use them...

This report describes the typical weather at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmadabad Airport) (Ahmedabad, India) weather station over the course of an average December. It is based on the historical records from 1996 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Ahmedabad has a hot semi-arid steppe climate. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by croplands (90%), grasslands (6%), and built-up areas (2%).
The month of December is characterized by falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs decreasing from 87°F to 81°F over the course of the month, exceeding 91°F or dropping below 78°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of December, the length of the day is essentially constant. The shortest day of the month is December 19 with 10:43 hours of daylight; the longest day is December 1 with 10:50 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 7:04am on December 1; the latest sunset is at 6:05pm on December 31; the latest sunrise is at 7:20am on December 31; the earliest sunset is at 5:53pm on December 2.
Daylight saving time (DST) is not observed in 2012.
The median cloud cover is 6% (clear) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On December 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 67% of the time, partly cloudy 8% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 4% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 2%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout December, the most common forms of precipitation are light rain, drizzle, and moderate rain.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 44% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 9, when it is observed during 1% of all days.
Drizzle is the most severe precipitation observed during 25% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 4, when it is observed during 1% of all days.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 18% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 3, when it is observed during 1% of all days.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in December or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 27% (dry) to 84% (humid) over the course of a typical December, rarely dropping below 17% (dry) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around December 2, at which time the relative humidity drops below 30% (dry) three days out of four; it is most humid around December 22, rising above 75% (humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical December, the dew point typically varies from 43°F (dry) to 58°F (comfortable) and is rarely below 36°F (dry) or above 65°F (mildy humid).
The time of the month between December 1 and December 31 is the most comfortable, with dew points that are neither too dry nor too muggy.
Over the course of December typical wind speeds vary from 0 mph to 9 mph (calm to gentle breeze), rarely exceeding 13 mph (moderate breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 4 mph (light breeze) occurs around December 31, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 9 mph (gentle breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 3 mph (light breeze) occurs around December 1, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 8 mph (gentle breeze).
