LCD vs OLED
Organic Light Emitting Diode or OLED displays began to appear in small consumer appliances like cameras and mobile phones in 2002. The superiority of this new technology will ensure that in many applications will replaces LCDs within the near future.

Most people may strive for moral and ethical righteousness. But it's still a scary world, especially when it comes to technology. Laptops and hard-disk drives with valuable and confidential commercial information seem to be stolen every day. Mainframes containing similarly sensitive data are routinely hacked. Certain semiconductor companies are overproducing chips to later sell on the black market. And it's only getting worse.
Viruses, financial fraud, computer theft, and network intrusion cost U.S. businesses $67 billion a year, according to a January 2006 report from the FBI. Likewise, a 2006 survey from the Ponemon Institute, Vontu Inc., and PGP Corp. says the average business loss from unauthorized data access grew 31% to $182 per compromised record. The total cost to each business ranges from less than $1 million to over $22 million, with an average of over $4 million.
Ever go to a restaurant, sit down to a complex menu, and just wish you had a few choices instead of dozens? If you've recently attempted to decide the optimal ASIC solution to best fit your design constraints, you may have felt similarly overwhelmed with choices. In fact, "configurable ASICs" have several aliases:
- structured
- platform
- metal/mask programmable/configurable
- via configurable.
Looks like Altera's released a new version of Quartus II, it's FPGA design tool. I need to download the latest and check out the changes. Version 8.1 looks to be faster and more automated. This includes an enhanced design partition planner that lets you split up a design for incremental compilation and design. Handy for design groups and large designs. Haven't used it myself but I tend to work with smaller projects.
I'm looking forward to checkng out the Pin-out Advisor. I suspect that this will be more useful with high speed desgns. More on this later. Got to run.
- It's an FPGA that can be clocked at 1.5GHz and really get this level of performance.
- Finally got the sitemap support done for the main site, channels, topics and now users. There are still a few holes but you can find most things you create via your user info page.

Summit Chairperson Kevin Morris
FPGA Journal
The FPGA Summit focuses on the use of FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays). FPGAs are semiconductor devices containing logic elements and interconnects.
Programming an FPGA typically involves selecting logic element functions and making or breaking connections among the elements to implement a specific design. That is, programming the FPGA involves selecting active connections much like building something by connecting pieces from a set of Legos.

Don't go to the 2009 CES until you know about the convergence of technologies that are revolutionizing the creation of digital content, its distribution and consumer electronics. The pre-CES 2009 Storage Visions Conference brings together technologists, vendors, retailers and users to explore the pod-, web-, life-casting consumer revolution and how you will preserve, protect, and search your life on Digital Storage. Conference sessions explore key infrastructure supporting the growth of richer media experiences including storage technologies, privacy protection, power creation and management, search and indexing technologies, home and mobile storage, next generation user needs and business opportunities.
OpenCores is a loose collection of people who are interested in developing hardware, with a similar ethos to the free software movement. Currently the emphasis is on digital modules called 'cores', since FPGAs have reduced the incremental cost of a core to approximately zero. Activity is centered around the opencores web site (http://www.opencores.org).
There is no formal affiliation between the people who make up opencores. They are a bunch of people who just happen to be walking in the same direction along a road. This is a dynamic group. People regularly join and leave. As a whole, the group progresses through the independent contributions of individuals.
