A Look Inside Stuttgart City Library


A Look Inside Stuttgart City Library

How often do you read? Of course, we're not talking about our articles, because we are sure you love to go through those, we are talking about physical(read non electronic) books. Books you can lend from a library, take home, snuggle in a warm blanket and lose yourself in some quality spent time with your book. Well, no matter how much you read, we are sure you would read a lot more if you had a library like this in your city. Stuttgart City Library just opened it's doors last week, and caused a lot of hype – not only amongst those avid book lovers from Stuttgart, but also amongst ones who love architecture and design. You see, this library isn't the average public building you come across everyday. Designed by architect Eun Young Yi,[http://www.yiarchitects.com/] this city library looks like a complicated two color Rubik's cube puzzle from the outside! But step in and you will be surprised at its simplicity. 


The interiors sport a very open layout with books visible throughout. Some may find the whites a bit sterile, but make no mistake, books are the center of attention here. But, what really caught our attention, and we are sure it caught yours as well are – the stairs! They are so randomly placed, connecting each floor, but also connecting the whole space together. You’re not just climbing the stairs, you’re exploring the environment around you, the view of the library is completely exposed to your eyes. We bet that climbing those stairs feels so triumphant!


Of course, this kind of a monumental library has a CafĂ© named LesBar (in translation – Reading Bar) and a space for children to play and acquire the habit of reading. Their space is a bit more colorful, naturally, but still keeps up with the clean, structured vibe of the rest of the space. Books for children are cleverly put in bins, so that they can easily go through them, because we all know that they are mostly attracted to the cover of the book. And we are mostly attracted to this library!

Anonymous Says It Will Hack More Chinese Sites

Anonymous Says It Will Hack More Chinese Sites

Published On April 6, 2012
Beijing – The hacking group Anonymous said Friday it would continue targeting China, after announcing it had hacked hundreds of Chinese websites to protest against Internet censorship in the country.
Most of the sites Anonymous China claimed to have hacked were working normally early Friday, although some still carried error messages, among them an official site for the ruling Communist Party in the southern city of Hezhou.
But the group, which announced its existence last month via Twitter, told AFP in an email it would continue targeting Chinese sites.
“It will keep going. The targets are selected,” it said.
Anonymous said this week it had hacked 300 Chinese websites and posted messages to the government and the Chinese people.
One read: “To the Chinese people: your government controls the Internet in your country and tries to filter what he sees as a threat to him.”
Another said: “Dear Chinese government, you are not infallible. Today websites are hacked, tomorrow it will be your vile regime that will fall.”
China has the world’s largest online population, with more than half a billion users, but its government tightly controls the web, using a vast and sophisticated censorship system known as the “Great Firewall”.
This week’s hackings came after the government last month shut down websites, made a string of arrests and punished two popular microblogs after rumours of a coup linked to a major scandal that brought down a top politician. – AFP

Western Digital’s New Hard Drives Are Filled With Helium


Western Digital’s New Hard Drives Are Filled With Helium



Jamie Condliffe - 

Storage is always getting cheaper and more capacious—but Western Digital has a plan to fill it with helium to make hard drives way more efficient than ever before.

If you could see inside a normal hard drive, you’d find it was a pretty brutal environment. The plates on which data are stored spin at incredibly high speed—thousands of revolutions per minute—and while you might not expect it, it’s the drag from those plates spinning through the air inside the drive that limits the number that can be stacked together. Yup, just like air resistance stops vehicles going fast, it does the same to your data.

But instead of air, Western Digital is now creating hard drives that are filled with helium, reports All Things D. Lighter than air, helium cuts the drag forces right down, allowing the manufacturer to squeeze more plates inside. Indeed, it can now squeeze in five where previously it could only manage seven; the first drive to roll off the production line has a capacity of six terabytes, versus four for conventional drives, for instance.All Things D explains what that means:

Deploying 11 petabytes of storage using current drive technology requires 12 racks and 2,880 hard drives, and about 33 kilowatts of power to run them. With the new helium-based technology, you could do it with eight racks and 1,920 individual drives, and run them on 14 kilowatts.

Perhaps predictably, the first units won’t be for consumers, but rather commercial enterprises. So, Netflix will be using them to store movies, and CERN to store experimental data. Then maybe, one day soon, you might have some helium in your hard drive, too. [All Things D]
