Utah may be a comparatively small state (population wise) but there are some interesting things going on there. Utah technology companies are starting to grow, and there are three major universities in the area that produce a lot of qualified individuals that can jump right into those businesses. Technology and education are inseparable, and as one begins to reach a higher level, so will the other.
One of the major schools in the area is the University of Utah, which has developed a strong reputation for its technological and scientific curriculums. There is also Brigham Young University, which has a…

‘Next generation’ wi-fi approved
The 802.11n technology, as it is known, was ratified by the IEEE, a body that oversees all wi-fi standards. It was conceived seven years ago and offers speeds at least six times faster than current approved technology. Electronics firms have sold PCs and routers using the standard for many years, labelled “802.11n draft”. But without the IEEE’s approval, there were no guarantees that future networking equipment would be compatible with the devices. The IEEE’s rubber stamp has changed that. All existing draft 802.11n wi-fi products will work with the final standard, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group that tests…
ANALYSIS – Easy money fuels all markets, but not forever
NEW YORK (Reuters) – General investment theory holds that investors should diversify, buying one asset class on expectations of profit as they avoid others on fears of a loss for any given set of economic circumstances. But with gold at 18-month highs, U.S. stocks rising off recessionary lows and a rally in U.S. bonds sending yields on some debt to the lowest since July, the investment climate is anything but typical. The worst global economic contraction in decades prompted low interest rates around the world and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, to take the extraordinary precaution of…

Firefox CSS hack: change navigation icons
Why settle for the standard home icon on your browser? If your home button brings you to hackaday.com, why not make the icon reflect that destination? This hack is quick and simple. We’ll take you through it using Firefox 3 and the default theme with standard sized icons.
We start by using our favorite graphics program to make an icon that is 24×24 pixels, and then saved is as a PNG file without compression.
To use the new image as a home icon, we edited a Cascading Style Sheet which is stored in the file classic.jar. On Ubuntu 9.04,…

Wireless electricity
[Eric Giler] has a talk available over at TED that discusses and demos delivering electricity without wires. Called WiTricity, these methods were developed by a team at MIT a few years ago who were working off of the concepts of Nicolai Tesla. The facts shared about our current energy delivery system are a bit shocking; we’ve spent over $1 trillion in infrastructure and produce more than 40 billion disposable batteries each year.
The demonstration in the video starts about 6:30 into it. At first we see a flat panel television powered wirelessly from about 6 feet away, then the…

All About Personal Accounting
If you have a checking account, of course you balance it periodically to account for any differences between what’s in your statement and what you wrote down for checks and deposits.
Many people do it once a month when their statement is mailed to them, but with the advent of online banking, you can do it daily if you’re the sort whose banking tends to get away from them.
You balance your checkbook to note any charges in your checking account that you haven’t recorded in your checkbook. Some of these can include ATM fees, overdraft fees, special transaction fees…
