MooPig Tech Coroner :: "The Internet of Everything"

The Death of the "Internet" -- and the birth of the "InterWorld"
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 14, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture source Unknown] This small-cap company's product is roughly the size of a silver dollar -- but it enjoys a dominant market share and air-tight patent protection.

Who is talking about this? I checked my gmail, and up came Motley Fool, an investing group who has my number.

Meaning tens of billions of regular "things"... Sidewalks and cereal boxes...minivans and dress pants...the lawn mower in your shed and the pillows on your bed... Will soon be connected together in an Internet of Everything.

Gmail - They're turning off your Internet -- make $44,500 when the Web goes dark: "4 Words, Can't-Miss Opportunity... Get in NOW on "The Internet of Everything" Sounds kind of funny, doesn't it... "The Internet of Everything.""

'via Blog this'

Get ready for your new sneakers to be Internet-connected ... football helmets will show probabilities of plays success to quarterbacks in the huddle ... Your wedding rings will be Internet compatible so you never again forget your anniversary day ...

Need a stock tip for your future? Well this one might be a doozey. This bit proclaims every thing will be connected via internet. It claims the internet-connected devices globally will grow from 1.5 b
trillion devices to 50 billion devices by 2020.

Most investors haven't heard about the InterWorld yet -- they're still busy trying to figure out when Apple will release another piece of "iJunk".

Why NOW is the final stage of the Digital Era's "Implementation Gap"

Put simply, the Internet of Everything is the final stage of the Internet's progression.

But you haven't read this far just to hear the simple explanation!

So consider this: in 1969, when the Internet was first invented, it could only be used by a few professors operating some clunky switchboards in Menlo Park, California...

By 1986, a handful of high-powered players in the international community, including research institutes, educational systems -- and, so the rumor goes, the Pentagon -- were able to harness the power of the Internet for some secretive tinkering...

Then came the 1990's.

The convergence of desktop PCs and Internet Service Providers (or, as I like to call them, "those $@!% cable companies") brought the World Wide Web to consumers everywhere.

And for the next two decades, as companies like Apple and Samsung continued to release new gizmos and gadgets, the Internet went from being in two or three switchboards in California to two or three devices in every home in America.

But just like electricity made a snap transition from a "specialized technology" to a regular feature in everything from sneakers to school-supplies...

The Internet -- and all the potential for progress it brings with it -- is about to move from "Internet-Only" objects to EVERYDAY objects...

Meaning tens of billions of regular "things"...

Sidewalks and cereal boxes...minivans and dress pants...the lawn mower in your shed and the pillows on your bed...

Will soon be connected together in an Internet of Everything.

Granted, the "Internet of Everything" is just the term that scientists, CEOs, academics, and other brainiacs are using to talk about this incredible opportunity...

(And boy are they talking about it...in fact, for nearly a century the brightest minds in the world have been eagerly anticipating this enormous new market.)

But frankly, even though this shift will be absolutely massive in terms of its real-world impact, I think there's a relatively simple way to describe what's happening...

The Death of the "Internet" -- and the birth of the "InterWorld"

The Economist is breathless about how it will do everything from lowering crime to reducing road accidents...

The Wall Street Journal expects it to radically change both business and personal life -- from "the hand-towel dispenser in the washroom" to "your car, your kettle, your toaster... even the mousetraps in your attic."

The European Union is so convinced of this technology's massive impact that it already has a hush-hush multi-national committee (codenamed "Unit D4") working around the clock to introduce laws and governance for it...

And over in China the Beijing bureaucrats are planning to use it to make telephone-booth sized virtual health clinics for billions of rural villagers.

Heck, even the NFL is thinking about getting onboard. Pretty soon, referees might be out of a job...

Because the football will automatically "know" when it's crossed the goal-line!

CONCLUSION
We don''t make this stuff up. And MooPig loves to share Technological Deaths. Apparently Motley Fool's claims are based on population of 7.1 billion today. The purchase of the stock in the company they suggest is expected to increase at 89% a year for the next six years.

" ... [R]egardless of how you feel about the revolutionary technological shift the InterWorld represents, the facts of the matter are painfully clear:

•  The InterWorld revolution is already underway -- and gaining momentum at an incredible pace.
•  There is exactly one company that sits at the very heart of the InterWorld market...and it stands to rake in hundreds of billions of dollars between now and 2020. ... "

Of course, Motley Fool gives you all this information, but leaves out the name of the company that they recommend. It will cost you about $100 to find out what this is all about.

We cannot figure out why investment people write and vlog such long verbose speeches about what they are discovering. Do you know why? I get up to three new "blockbuster stock announcements" per day, but usually read, or listen, to only one every month. One a month seems tolerable.

We cannot offer advice on stock purchases because MooPig Enterprises doesn't know its ass from third base about stocks and stuff.

Bye Bye Bitcoin | Uncommon Wisdom Daily

Whoops

Out there is a strange world. Cyber wars are wreaking havoc on certain investments. MooPig Finance and Witchcraft Department has been posting blurbs about the BITCOIN phenom HERE and HERE.

Do you trust paper money and Ben Bernanke's ability to manage it? If you don't, and all your friends don't, then your price for paper money goes up, or like the experts say, it gets more scarce.

We are not Bitcoin experts, and certainly not investment wizards here at MooPig enterprises. But these guys advertise that they are:

Bye Bye Bitcoin | Uncommon Wisdom Daily: "When was the last time you saw an equity, ETF or currency drop more than 75% in one day, only to have trading halted to allow the market to “cool down” … If I asked you that question yesterday, your answer should have been “never.” That all changed, however, when the infamous electronic currency Bitcoin made history. In the aftermath of the Cyprus bailout debacle, interest in this alternative currency skyrocketed, sending the price parabolic and pushing Bitcoin to an all-time high of $266 just yesterday."

UPDATE
Whatever the case against bitcoin as an alternative currency, there’s one country where people probably won’t need much persuading to join the craze. Here’s why China could drive a further bit-boom:

1. They’ve already done the whole virtual currency thing—with Q Coin. (Gwynn Guilford — April 13, 2013. HERE)

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "3-D Printing"

I think I need a New Telephone -- Oh, I'll just Print One!

Procured by Pat Darnell  |  Apr 3, 2013  |  Bryan TX

Technology Revolution: Part 1 | Punk Rock Libertarians:
"I am talking about 3D printing.

 ' ... Excuse me for sounding like 3D printing gives me such a Large Hadron Collider in my pants, but it does. While doing the research for this article I was anywhere from half-staffed to fully erect. Maybe that is an exaggeration, but my brain definitely had a hard on for what I was reading. I honestly believe that most of the world’s problems can be solved by 3D printing on a massive scale."

'via Blog this'

What industries will be eliminated by this revolution? Paper or plastic cups, plates and sporks ...
No not only; review spare parts for auto's, or a tune up kit for your V-8 ... how about point repair for under ground sewer or supply pipes, that have burst or broken?

All you will need is a three-D drawing of the object, entered into your onsite 3-d printer, presto magnifico, here is your part.

Old appliances will not become obsolete because of original parts, or proprietary parts that are too difficult to re-manufacture. Just print the part from a drawing, and plug it into your old toaster, typewriter, Dyson vacuum cleaner, or any old thing-a-ma-jig.

The featured article here from punkrocklibertarians focuses on parts for guns. Yes even guns will be 3-D printed.

All industries will pick up on money saving, or money making, ideas for themselves using 3-D printing.

Bitcoin: Can a virtual currency do away with banks? PART TWO

FOFOA: Bitcoin Open Forum: "To summarize, this guy had 25,000 Bitcoins stolen from him around noon on Monday. At that time, Bitcoins were trading for around $20 each, so he lost almost $500,000 worth of Bitcoins! I'm just learning some of the technicalities of Bitcoins now, so please correct me in the comments if I get anything wrong. I imagine this will make for a lively discussion! It seems Bitcoins have been quite a trade recently, running from less than half a penny up to $30, back down to $10, and up again to $20. Here's the chart:"

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "Flexible Display"

State-of-the-Art
Retrieved by Pat Darnell and Son  |  Mar 6, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK] In 2004, forward-looking members of the U.S. Army saw the potential flexible displays could bring to soldiers while on the battelfield.

Every time a manufacturer develops a new device, it spells death to many current devices. Easy to understand, right? Right. But is it going to deliver what it promises, and for how long will it deliver before the next device is developed?

Really, this is the root of MooPig's Tech Coroner Department. Without constant developments in state-of-the-art electronic devices our guys in the basement, without windows, would not have that much to do.

What Technologies will "Flexible Displays" supplant?

• Badges: Will flex-display stop a bullet?
• Ultra-pure display glass ... not needed
• Individual Soldier relies on "hand signals" or "shouts" in terms of "communication" ... All Gone
  
• "Hardware" and "heavy duty brackets" for hanging glass displays ... outdated 
• Your "PC" ... to the land-fills.
• "Flat screen TV, projectors, cell phones" ... ta ta .

What Samsung, U.S. Army, and Microsoft are "DEMO-ing" here is an actual "Distortion field."

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "7 Fastest-Growing tech companies"

Going 3-D all for the sake of 'Yes, we can...' 
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Dec 8, 2012 | Bryan TX

7 Fastest-Growing tech companies - 3D Systems (5) - FORTUNE: "Founded by Chuck Hull in 1986, 3D Systems manufactures technologies that enable 3D printing, a process where three-dimensional data is used to create real-world 3D parts, from smartphone covers to prosthetics. Sales climbed 44% year-over-year to $230 million, with half those sales coming from the U.S., and profits grew to $35 million, even as the company increased spending in global research and development."

" ... Scott Summit does unusual things on his vacations. For instance, he just spent a week up in the mountains, taking in the majestic scenery and all that, but also sitting at his laptop creating a 3D model of his ideal guitar. Then he sent the computer design to 3D Systems (DDD), which used its massive 3D printers to transform the graphic model into an actual acoustic instrument that Summit can play.

MooPig's Tech Coroner -- Kodak's long fade to black -- PART THREE

Retrieved by Pat Darnell | May 16, 2012 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

Until 2006, Kodak had a nuclear reactor, weapons-grade uranium, in its basement: "File this one under “strange, but true — and completely terrifying”: Until 2006, beleaguered imaging company Kodak had a fully functioning nuclear reactor, packed with weapons-grade uranium, in the basement of one of its buildings near Rochester, New York. And according to the Democrat and Chronicle (a local Rochester newspaper), almost nobody in the community knew about it — until now."

'via Blog this'
By 2006, however, Kodak apparently figured that it no longer needed its own nuclear reactor, and got the U.S. Federal government to help safely transport the uranium to a secure storage facility in South Carolina.

But we never thought we would be able to associate the phrases “nuclear reactor” and “enriched uranium” with the once-great photography giant — until recently that is. That’s because a few months ago a former Kodak employee let slip to the Democrat and Chronicle the existance of a little known, and never publicized, nuclear reactor hidden in the bowels of Kodak city for the last 30 years.

Congratulations if you have lived this long and not seen M.A.D.'s

Magnetic Audio Device, M.A.D.
by Pat Darnell

Yes we are diligent bloggers, constantly falling back on the stability of "Search."

And Yea, though we go into the Valley of the Shadow of Death, we fear no evil, because what ever it is we can Google that Mo****rF***in' noodle monster into bits and pieces with a Gang Google attack, until it is fully Wikki'ed. Amen.

Ooops, Happy Mother's Dad, Mom. You know I love you. But M.A.D. just crossed my plate at the table of boarders who blog.. and guess what... it moves sound waves in a parallel path away from the source of sound, unlike round horn shaped speakers that actually send waves out in a conical spray, only to dissipate quickly [exponentially].

Yes, it is a military weapon "of the future." If you have heard one, you were in or near a crime or war zone. So it is good you have lived this long and not seen a M.A.D. If you had you would have heard a voice at more than 600 yards sounding like the person is right next to you. Or you might have heard a canine unit closing in on you to bite and pull your limbs in opposite directions... then again you might get a decibel blast that drops you to your knees. This is likely the Foghorn Leghorn of weapons in the arsenal of new "user-friendly," "non-lethal" arms against perpetrators.

Of course, you may also recognize the potential of this magnetic audio device as an amplifier for Rock bands. Since the band would like the audience to be terrorized, traumatized and to drop to their knees in worshipful posture.. well Heck Yeah!

Retrieving M.A.D., in concerts... Potential Plowshare: The 'Magnetic Audio Device:'

A high-powered Magnetic Audio Device that was designed as a non-lethal weapon might have music-related uses, after a demonstration revealed that the music of Queen and Frank Sinatra sounded decent at distances of up to one mile away.

Here’s the science. Light diffuses and grows weaker over distance because it’s not all of the same wavelength. Lasers, on the other hand, don’t diffuse, because their light has the same wavelength. Planar waves are the sonic equivalent of lasers: sound waves of identical frequency emanating from a flat panel.

In the article linked above, Here, "...non-lethal weapons expert Charles Heal describes the device’s sound quality to the New Yorker’s Alec Wilkinson..."

"So we picked a date, and I brought a sixty-thousand-watt generator. We took a GPS and measured a mile, and I listened to a Frank Sinatra record and everything was there — the lyrics, the orchestra, the cymbal sound, everything. We couldn’t even see where the sound was coming from anymore. At three-quarters of a mile, we had trusties from the jail raking leaves, and they were putting in music requests.’"

You all know in your hearts that M.A.D will sooner or later be used in advertising to reach us in our great outdoors. And to many, of course, the great outdoors is... John Q Public ...cruising the Interstate, moving along at 70 mph, in his Winnebago.

But, Johnnie Q, you need to be good and ready for the bill-boards that might start talking to you through your windshield. And in the traffic congestion bottlenecks, take your specialized planar wave blocking industrial ear plugs along, just in case --

[ ... ] What you probably might not want to ever hear on a planar sonic wave aimed at you, is the commercial that directs a: "...I have Genital Herpes... YELP" carrying a mile or so into your lines of traffic and beyond.. but we really can't say.
