Yet Taiwan still manages to make nine out of 10 of the world's laptop computers.

You may not have heard of the companies Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics, Pegatron, Wistron and Inventec, but together they make more than 90%of the laptops sold worldwide,

including those sold by top brands such as Apple and Dell. Yet making devices at low cost for others has become less profitable than it was,

PC shipments worldwide fell from 363 million in 2011 to 352 million last year, with further declines in the first half of this year.

Taiwanese PC makers have shifted their attentions to tablets; however, they do not enjoy the same dominance of this market as they do for laptops.

Squeezing new life into old computers By supercharging PCS that seem past their sell-by date,

New smartphones and tablets are released barely months after their previous versions, and the hardware and software quickly become incompatible.

Tablets won allow you to swap out parts, new laptops won let you remove batteries,

and the whole lifecycle of technology is becoming shorter, less sustainable, and more expensive for consumers.

Its Juicebox promises to make ld computers run like new Now, I know what some early adopters may be thinking.

For those who believe that the age of tablets, smartphones, Google glass and the loudhas heralded the demise of desktop PCS,

Robert Hornik, Assistant Principal at East New york Family Academy in Brooklyn, remembers weekend trips to far-flung corners of New york city to hunt for old desktops from other city agencies like the Police

Pension fund that were giving them away for free. e had about 20 computers working at best, out of about 100, for a school with 450 students and 50 teachers, he recalls. hey were mostly the big, boxy computers,

like the Dell GX270, all about 8-10 years old. With an entire technology budget of just $12, 000 per year, including one part-time IT person (an undergraduate at a local university),

new desktops at around $500 a pop was not an option. chools usually acquire computers in big batches all at once in hope that they don have to get them anytime again soon, hich of course,

Computers eventually breakdown, wear out, or become overloaded with junk and must be replaced over time with spare parts

Then, when the computers start to get sluggish, preventing even basic browsing and application use, getting them all back up to the same speed becomes practically impossible.

and computing power that many computers share across a single network. So, instead of each computer being stuck with ageing components,

suddenly all the computers have access to this powerful central store that does all the eavy lifting allowing the computers to run like new.

The Juicebox can supercharge any PC or even laptop even if it missing a hard drive and the whole system is completely wireless.

Since Hornik installed Neverware Juicebox over a year ago, East New york Family Academy now has over 100 working computers almost four in every classroom,

with two fully functioning computer labs. They haven slowed down a bit. he Neverware system gave us a big break.

We were able to make all those old computers work Hornik says, adding nd lightning fast.

This idea of esktop virtualization has been around for over a decade, says Neverware 27-year-old founder Jonathan Hefter. his is something banks

and Fortune 500 companies around the world are using, he says, and something that cloud computing now offers. ut no one has created a simple cost-effective methodology,

when it got that brand new shipment of computers. Basically, it a great point of departure, he explains. ut

Just because computers are working better and kids can browse, research, and use programs faster,

the actual hardware lifespan of a PC is around fifteen years because most of the weaker parts are interchangeable.

Energy challenge International organisations, like World Computer Exchange and Techsoup Global, facilitate the refurbishing, but Neverware Juicebox could also play a new,

and effort in sourcing and shipping in new or donated PCS. ne of the problems with donated computers is that getting them through the port isn straightforward.

Wherever the potential impact of Neverware promise to make old computers run like new lies,

for Hefter the bottom line is clear. t seems silly that schools are replacing their computers every 4 years

The gyroscopes are under full computer control; no driver input required. The company says it is confident that the C-1 will stay upright

Approximate computing could endow computers with a capability similar to the human brain s ability to scale the degree of accuracy needed for a given task.

NEIL leverages recent advances in computer vision that enable computer programs to identify and label objects in images to characterize scenes

In turn the data it generates will further enhance the ability of computers to understand the visual world

and with NEIL we hope that computers will do so as well. computer cluster has been running the NEIL program

since late July and already has analyzed three million images identifying 1500 types of objects in half a million images and 1200 types of scenes in hundreds of thousands of images.
