Wi-Fi direct ... end of bluetooth ??

When you try to connect two devices in a local wireless network, you usually have to choose between speed (Wi-Fi) or ease of connectivity (Bluetooth).
But the Wi-Fi alliance has launched Wi-Fi Direct, which combines both advantages into one technology…

Wi-Fi offers plenty of bandwidth but you need to have a wireless network set up wherever you need to connect the devices (so a router is a must).
That’s not always desirable, sometimes even impossible. Wi-Fi Direct, as the name suggests, makes a direct connection between two (or more) devices with no middleman required.

Connecting two devices would be as simple as pressing a button. All Direct communications are secured by WPA2, so the ease of connecting doesn’t mean lack of security.
Wi-Fi Direct works with 802.11b/g/n and supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz – there won’t be a shortage of bandwidth.
Many Wi-Fi Direct devices will also be able to connect to several other devices at once – for example,
a laptop can push a video to the TV while syncing with your mobile phone, all over Direct and with no router required !!!!!

Warp speed .. !



I was reading about warp speed and its possibility.. and theories and models... :)


I wondered, what a time to be born in .. Although the energy costs are mind boggling and there is no practical model present of a warp drive or anything, just the thought of a warp drive gets you goose bumps !

What if we could travel faster than speed of light, oh man .. personally, I have so many places I would like to visit ... lol ... get out of milky way and see how it looks from a distance, get as close as possible to a pulsar ... visit the exo-planet with maximum possibility of hosting life !

I wish I get to be born again, when humans will find a way to travel at warp speeds.... !!
