She said the state made 14 software changes in the first six months. As they look to working with more states,
adjusting the software to each state particular regulations becomes a challenge. t would be great to have standardized tracking,
and Microsoft have not decided to jump in as of yet. MJ Freeway was created out of necessity.
and was tasked with choosing the software. That when she and cofounder Amy Poinsett decided they needed to create a platform that tracked every gram of marijuana and every dollar.
They both came from the computer space. Now they have 1 000 licenses in 19 states.
so we built our own software for seed to sale tracking, said Bierman. He said the problem with the cannabis tech companies is a lack of access to institutional money.

#Whatsapp For ios Will Receive Voice Calling Feature In A few Weeks Whatsapp the instant messaging app that Facebook acquired for $19 billion last year hit 700 million monthly active users
At the Facebook f8 conference this week, Whatsapp cofounder Brian Acton said that the ios version of the messaging app will gain the highly anticipated free voice calling feature within the next few weeks, according to Venturebeat.
Whatsapp spent the last year refining the voice calling feature before it launched on Android last month.
Whatsapp voice calling feature on Android is limited on an invite-only basis as of right now
and holding the microphone icon above the keyboard. The new voice calling feature will let you make phone calls to your contacts,
meaning Whatsapp will become more competitive against Skype. Whatsapp revealed it will be adding voice calling to its app over a year ago at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The desktop version of Whatsapp only works for Android, Windows phone, Blackberry and Nokia S60 devices right now though.
Hopefully, Whatsapp Web will support ios devices soon. If you have a jailbroken iphone, then you can already access the voice calling feature on Whatsapp.

and easily repeatable test for pancreatic cancer, scientists at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University, have developed a three-protein biomarker panel that can screen urine samples to identify pancreatic cancer
The panel, the scientists say, has demonstrated already better than 90%accuracy. Moreover, it readily distinguishes between pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis,

#Inkjet printers could produce paper sensors that identify dangerous food and water contaminants Sensors that identify infectious disease
and food contaminants may soon be printed on paper using ordinary office inkjet printers. Researchers at Mcmaster University have developed a prototype that could lead to a commercial product in the next few years which helps doctors
and scientists in the field quickly detect certain types of cancer or bacterial and respiratory infections or monitor toxin levels in water.
In 2012 they used specialized inkjet printers to produce paper strips that change color in the presence of E coli.
"Our original E coli sensor required a very sophisticated ink jet-printer printer and very specialized inks in order to be produced,
and a basic office printer to produce the test strips, meaning that it should be much easier to scale up and manufacture."
A working prototype of the technology will be on display from Apr 13 to 17, at the Hannover Messe industrial trade show d
#IBM sets new tape storage record For many people, tape memory is a dead technology found only on reel-to-reel computers in old 1960s movies.
and a new breakthrough by IBM Research and Fuji Film has produced a low-cost particulate magnetic tape with a record density of 123 billion bits of uncompressed data per square inch,
When the first half-inch-wide computer tape was invented in 1952, it had about 2 megabytes per reel of storage.
Over the years, hard drives, CDS, DVDS, and solid state memory came along, but tape is still very much a mainstream technology used in backups, disaster replicas,
The new IBM tape has an areal density 110,000, 000 times greater than IBM s first tape drive,
IBM compares this to 220 million books that would need 2, 200 km (1, 367 mi) of bookshelf.
IBM sees the new tape technology as having applications in big data and cloud computing at a cost of pennies per gigabyte.
A research prototype of the new tape drive is on display at the 2015 National Association Broadcasters Show.

#Breakthrough photonic processor promises quantum computing leap Optical quantum computers promise to deliver processing performance exponentially faster and more powerful than today's digital electronic microprocessors.
As a result, a range of different quantum processor operations can be performed at one time. Even better, the stable and quickly reprogrammable nature of the chip's architecture changeable by means of software code means that a vast range of existing
and yet-to-be devised quantum experiments may be conducted rapidly in succession, or simultaneously, to help realize what may well be myriad future protocols."
"The number of photon inputs and outputs also means the the new processor can be applied to new areas of research straight away,
which can be applied to sets of qubits to perform the equivalent of Boolean algebraic functions found in standard electronic logic processors also referred to as quantum gates.

Known as the Augmentative and Alternate Communication (AAC) device, it consists of a nose/mouth mask linked by a hose to a computer.
custom software (via an analog-to-digital converter) recognizes that pattern as representing a certain word or phrase the user initially decides for themselves what patterns will equate to what words,
with the software learning from them as they go along. Once the pattern has been identified, the AAC uses a speech synthesizer to speak the words aloud.
