			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tv_icon.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2797" title="tv_icon" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tv_icon.jpg" alt="tv_icon" width="175" height="175" /></a>According to results of a new study, a considerable change in the viewing habits of UK viewers is expected in the coming days. The researchers are predicting that the people who are watching traditional <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/electronics/tv">TV</a> these days will prefer to <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/videos">video</a> on demands.</p>
<p>This survey from Coda Research Consultancy on behavioral and market research project offered somewhat expected results but the figures which have been predicted definitely need to be repeated.</p>
<p>According to Coda Video on Demand services will swarm up to four fold via PCs as well as on-demand TV services, while there will be 15% decline in the live TV viewing.</p>
<p><span id="more-2796"></span>Coda also says that those people who have VOD access will impact PVR viewing by more than 30 to 40 percent.<br />
In this study, the impact of BBC coming video on demand project is being expected to deeply influence people TV viewing behavior in the UK. In the US, it’s rival service Hulu.com is expected to arrive in 2010.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tv-watching.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2800" title="tv-watching" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tv-watching.jpg" alt="tv-watching" width="585" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>Growth in piracy is another prediction that has been highlighted in this study, so right owners will have to closely work with service providers to open current and achieve broadcast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mediaimg.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2801" title="mediaimg" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mediaimg.jpg" alt="mediaimg" width="585" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>Dr. Steven Smith, director of this Coda project says, “Overall ad revenues will considerably increase if Project Canvas gets passed and an ad aggregator in launched during the next 12 months.”</p>
<p>“But if it they are not released, we can still predict a considerable reduction in the revenues of TV ads”</p>

<p>In this indexing UK has been placed at tenth in world and it’s ahead of the likes of Germany and the United States, but the country fell behind Korea, Sweden and Denmark.</p>
<p>The index takes 11 pointers into one single measure that was used as global benchmarking tool as well as at regional and country level tool.</p>
<p><span id="more-2682"></span>They relate to ICT access, skills and use of various technologies like households with different internet users as well the number of internet users with their certain literacy levels.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/uk-the-10th-most-developed.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2684" title="uk-the-10th-most-developed" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/uk-the-10th-most-developed.jpg" alt="uk-the-10th-most-developed" width="585" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>In this ranking, different Northern European countries are dominating and Korea is the only country that is from some other continent.</p>
<p>Sweden enjoyed the top most position in this ranking while Korea at number two position with Denmark, Holland, Iceland, Norway, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Finland and, in tenth place, the UK.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/uk-the-10th-most-developed1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2685" title="uk-the-10th-most-developed1" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/uk-the-10th-most-developed1.jpg" alt="uk-the-10th-most-developed1" width="585" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>But instead of this IDI placing, there wasn’t any good news in the newest statistics of Union on pricing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sharp_logo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2591" title="sharp_logo" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sharp_logo.jpg" alt="sharp_logo" width="175" height="175" /></a>Last night, TV distribution specialist PSCo organized an event in London to uncover some real big machines of the telly world. <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/brands/sharp">Sharp’s</a> 108-inch <a href="http://www.technologygear.net/category/electronics/tv">TV</a>, which was announced at CES way back in 2007, also made its debut in the UK in this very event.</p>
<p>The event wasn’t all about Sharp’s giant LCD, as a 103” touchscreen plasma from Panasonic was also there.</p>
<p>It is quite evident that these tellys have not been made for the general consumer market, and they would be used in commercial environment like airports and supermarkets.</p>
<p><span id="more-2590"></span>PSCo informed that these LCD screens are being used in Japan in a cinema hall and it’s true that the screen is big enough to be used for the cinema.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sharp-108-tv-uk.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592" title="sharp-108-tv-uk" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sharp-108-tv-uk.jpg" alt="sharp-108-tv-uk" width="585" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>During the past few years, various LCD TV makers have been trying to match or even exceed plasma as consumers’ first choice for the big-screen. However, many people at the event were of the view that mega-screen TVs may be the things to consider in the end.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sharp-108-tv.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2593" title="sharp-108-tv" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sharp-108-tv.jpg" alt="sharp-108-tv" width="585" height="550" /></a></p>
<p>According a Sharp’s spokesman, it is possible that the current 108-inches may serve as the biggest possible size for LCD for quite some time and it’s not about technological limitations, but for consumer demands.</p>
<p>“There are some footballers, who are looking for such a giant TVs that can adjust nicely in their big mansions,” he added.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2343" title="moto_logo" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/moto_logo.jpg" alt="moto_logo" width="175" height="175" />With its 4G Long Term Evolution technology, Motorola has stepped into a new age of fastest mobile broadband that the company has announced to bring to UK.</p>
<p>Currently, the service is passing through the testing phase in Swindon and it wouldn’t be available to the general public yet, however, this move indicates that process of making UK somewhat more mobile is on its way.</p>
<p>Many have been named LTE as the successor of 3G networking around the world, as many telecommunication companies are trying to tie together the recognition of wireless internet.</p>
<p><span id="more-2341"></span>According to Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president of Motorola Home &amp; Networks Mobility, “We are at the front in developing 4G technologies right now and this technology will definitely offer a great help to address the demands of those consumers who want to have personalised experiences of media as well as those operators who want to have some competitive advantage.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2344" title="moto_mobile_broadband" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/moto_mobile_broadband.jpg" alt="moto_mobile_broadband" width="585" height="550" /></p>
<p>It is being supposed that the LTE would offer 100Mbps of download speeds, but just like the present day 3G broadband over mobile, the farther the user will be from base unit, the slower its speeds would be.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2345" title="motorola_broadband" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/motorola_broadband.jpg" alt="motorola_broadband" width="585" height="550" /></p>
<p>LTE has to compete with WiMAX as the standard for next 4G. The different between these two standards is as, as in 3G and WiFi, but recently, HTC Max has launched a 4G phone that has been based on WiMAX.</p>

<p>The move was under consideration for quite some time, but now its confirmation has been made by Software giant’s Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell who announced that news.</p>
<p>“The current slowdown in economic activities is somewhat worse-than-expected in that quarter, and we had to act quickly to decrease the structure of cost and reduce its impact,” Liddell said.</p>
<p><span id="more-2047"></span> “Microsoft is planning things for the economic uncertainties that may continue throughout the year and that can lead to lower earnings and revenue in the coming times,” Liddell added.</p>

<p>The news emerges after Microsoft announcement of 11% drop in profits for the 2nd Q net income, as the company made $4.17b in that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/snp_logo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1478" title="snp_logo" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/snp_logo.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" /></a>The Scottish National Party is backing up suggestions that Lossiemouth in Moray should become Britain&#8217;s first space port.</p>
<p>Virgin Galactic has already confirmed that they are seriously considering three launch sites in Britain which includes the Lossiemouth in Moray, Machrihanish in Argyll and a lone airbase in the south-western England. With these major spots, the competition is believed to be heating up.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the SNP is eager that it be a Scottish destination that achieves the reputation of becoming the earliest spaceport.</p>
<p><span id="more-1479"></span><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/_45326724_000700366-1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1480" title="_45326724_000700366-1" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/_45326724_000700366-1.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" /></a>Angus Robertson, the local MP for SNP and a Westminster representative for the party, suggested that the notion of space flight from Scotland is serious as well as exciting.</p>
<p>He also added that since other countries would also like to be in the front, he would want to see Moray as the front runner in the race.</p>
<p>These flights would have tremendous potential and the port would also launch satellites into the orbit as well as offering touring flights into the earth orbit.</p>
<p>Virgin Galactic&#8217;s suggestion to present sub-orbital space flights to the paying common community has acquired enormous hype, in the midst of orbital flights also on the timeline.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/virgin-galactic-728-75-728.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1481" title="virgin-galactic-728-75-728" src="http://www.technologygear.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/virgin-galactic-728-75-728.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="470" /></a></p>
<p>Angus Robertson also added that such a proposal from Galactic is an inspirational opportunity that would bring technological investment, tourism, job, and scientific as well as educational opportunities.</p>
