I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.

8bitfuture: Intel dunks computers in oil in the name of research. Intel has completed a year long test of its oil cooling technology, where it submerged entire server racks in an oil based coolant in an attempt to save energy usage. The company claims it was a success, with 90 to 95 percent less cooling energy used, and server power reduced by 10 to 20 percent. The computer components were then tested in Intel’s failure-analysis lab, where no damaging effects were found. Potentially, the approach may reduce the cost of running data centers, as cooling through the oil immersion system can bring reductions in average and peak power consumption. Those taking their first leap to use this oil immersion approach would be those who want as much power as possible coming out of their computing operations with as little as possible applied toward cooling.

8bitfuture: New antenna speeds up Wi-Fi by 200x. Researchers in Singapore have developed a tiny antenna able to produce wireless speeds of 20-Gbits per second, which is 200 times faster than current Wi-Fi speeds. The tiny device measures 1.6 x 1.2mm, which also makes it the smallest silicone based antenna to date. The antenna differs from previous antennas by being filled with a polymer instead of air, and the team says the technique is suitable for mass production. Genius tecnology
