Patents? So sorry you're five years behind; Case In Point.

There's new technology happening in the great continent of Canada. Toronto to be exact.
The technology promising to out live, out do, and revive the solar industry is solar paint.

Mr_Farlops writes "Using nanorods and liquid plastic semiconductor, researchers at University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have created a solar cell that can be painted or sprayed onto a surface.

Designed with implementation application in mind the costs plummet.

With China the way it is and the U.S. Patent Office so in debt and far-to the right in meeting technological challenges, the patents are behind five years. This won't do anything to help creations like 'solar paint', besides with perfect re-engineering techniques devised, China tells the U.S. to stuff our patents. If you have not noticed, yet, the U.S. economy will continue to decline.

Who's the technology winner? Why you guessed it correctly, for some time now and right the first time. For other's it is still hard to come to terms-but that's alright-you go on believing that the military is still the perveyor of nanotechnology. WRONG!!!

Corporations want to design, implement, compete yesterday. They want to win-so leave it to China to lead the way, companies will just have to develop, cross their fingers and go for the ride.
No matter how short-it's still a ride.

However, you could be the luckier one's, if you become a partner....(c) Lyle K'ang

Technical VPN Integration

The other day I was working for Merril Lynch as a VPN networking engineer. I'm an IT Consultant. I had a specific job to do which I hastened to complete.

This may be obvious to most of you but why when working with people on a bridge [Avaya, HP, AT&T] is it neccessary for me to listen to all the chit-chat, not neccessarily for my job but other people's input?

Why can't it just be straight forward-plug and play?
