Super 5D DVD

New DVD format records information in 5 dimensions!! Yeah you heard me alright! 5Dimensions!

A new “five-dimensional” recording system for DVD-sized discs that can store 1.6TB of data (compared with Blu-ray’s current 50GB limit), able to store 300 movies, 250,000 songs and leap tall buildings with a single bound. 

Many technologists have wondered what format of optical disc will inevitably come to replace the current generation of HD and BluRay DVDs. While there has been no shortage of new formats developed and considered, a new design has been gaining attention as a conceivable, and realistic possibility for the future.

Building on Pink Floyd's research into lasers (joke), the new format is called "5D DVD" and on these DVD-sized discs, up to 1.6 TB of data can be stored utilizing 5 dimensions.

sing nanometre-scale particles of gold as an inscription medium, data is burnt on to the optical discs using lasers that burn information similiar to a regular DVD process involving the 'regular' three spatial dimensions. With 5D DVD however, the recording process doesn't stop after the 3D is done.  

Because of the "gold nanorods" color -- which is determined by electromagnetic wavelengths -- can also be used as the fourth dimension of information encoding on the 5D DVDs. The '5th D' is polarization: the surface can be altered to adjust the angle that light hits the disc, so this in turn adds a much greater capacity to the DVDs by allowing for information to be stored in all 5 of these ways.

Go go Australia's Swinburne University of Technology!!!

What is a firmware?

Firmware is a term sometimes used to denote the fixed, usually rather small, programs that internally control various electronic devices. Typical examples range from end-user products such as remote controls or calculators, through computer parts and devices like harddisks, keyboards, TFT screens or memory cards, all the way to scientific instrumentation and industrial robotics. Also more complex consumer devices, such as mobile phones, digital cameras, synthesizers, etc., contain firmware to enable the device's basic operation as well as implementing higher level functions.

Firmware is a combination of software and hardware.In conclusion, it represents the small programs that control a myriad of electronic devices. Examples of firmware are computer chips that have data or programs on them.

Devices that do not update via the firmware itself can be updated by downloading the file extension upg file from the manufacturer website. Once the file extension upg has been downloaded, the proper way to open the file extension upg is to simply double click it in its current location. This should start the set-up process to upgrade. Simply follow the instructions provided by any dialogue boxes that appear and this will ensure that the firmware is upgraded properly.

File Extension PRC

File Extension PRC, or .prc files you found in your Palm PDA stands for Palm Resource Compiler.PRC files were originally intended to identify a Palm Database containing "database resources".

 All programs on a Palm OS device are PRC databases, with the resources being the actual program code. However, not all PRC databases are programs. It is possible for data files to be PRC databases, and products like the MobiPocket reader for PalmOS store documents with a File Extension PRC.

There are also some E Book Readers that uses File Extension PRC like Mobipocket, Palm eReader and PalmDOc. These are used widely in two types of extension which is PRC and PDB and accepted for storage in the device. Both files are readable without the need of renaming.

So what is for nano technology future dresscode will be?

File Extension GED

GEDCOM, an acronym for GEnealogical Data COMmunication also known as .ged file or File Extension GED. A GEDCOM file is plain text (usually either ANSEL or ASCII) containing genealogical information about individuals, and meta data linking these records together. Most genealogy software supports importing from and/or exporting to GEDCOM format.

In a simple word, GEDCOM file or File Extension GED Stores family history and genealogical event data in the standard GEDCOM genealogy format; saves data in an ASCII text format that can be opened by different genealogy programs on multiple computer systems.

To open a File Extension GED, Begin by ensuring that the file that you want to open is truly a GEDCOM file, and not a family tree file created in some proprietary format by a genealogy software program. A file is in GEDCOM format when it ends in the extension .ged. If the file ends with the extension .zip then it has been zipped (compressed) and needs to be unzipped first.

Here is an example of GEDCOM file:

If you have a family tree file on your computer you should always make sure you have a recent backup before opening a new GEDCOM file. This will allow you to revert to your original file in case something goes wrong when you're opening/importing the GEDCOM file.
