GadgetDesigners Push the Limits of Size, Safety
By Brian X. Chen, August 28, 2008

Just as small, fast-moving mammals replaced lumbering
dinosaurs, pocketable gadgets are evolving to fill niches that
larger, deskbound computers can't reach. But as they shrink,
these gadgets are faced with problems mammals face, too,
such as efficiently dissipating heat.

The recent example of Apple's first-generation iPod nanos
causing fires in Japan raises the question of whether
increasingly innovative product designs are impinging on
safety. The nano incident illustrates how risk can increase as
devices decrease in size, says Roger Kay, an analyst at
EndpointTechnologies.

"As [gadgets] get smaller, the tradeoffs become more difficult,
the balance becomes more critical and there's less room for
error," Kay said. "I'm not surprised it's happening to the nano
because that's the small one. You're asking it to do a lot in a
very, very small package and that's pushing the envelope.”

There's no question that industrial designers' jobs have
become much more difficult as the industry demands ever
more powerful and smaller gadgets. With paper-thin
subnotebooks, ultrasmall MP3 players, and pinkie finger-
sized Bluetooth headsets becoming increasingly popular, it's
questionable where exactly designers draw the line between
innovation and safety.

The expression such as in the last line of the first paragraph could be changed by ____ and its meaning would not altered.

Microsoft to Offer Free Virus Protection Software for
Windows

By ScottGilbertsonNovember 19, 2008

Microsoft plans to offer Windows users a new antivirus
package designed to protect the OS from viruses, spyware,
rootkits and trojans. The new software is tentatively code-
named Morro, and will be available for free to Windows XP,
Vista and 7 users sometime in the second half of 2009.
The new software will reportedly use very minimal resources,
which means it should work well with older PCs. If fact,
Microsoft says Morro has been specially designed for older
PCs and low-spec machines popular in developing nations. In
addition to its minimal processor demands, Morro has been
developed to use very little bandwidth,making it ideal for those
without broadband connections.
Morro will replace Microsoft's current, paid service, Windows
Live OneCare, which has been available on a subscription
basis for $50 per year.
While a free, antivirus solution that ships withWindows would
be a boon for the average user, it could also mean trouble for
third-party software solutions. Given that a bundled solution
could raise antitrust concerns -and would no doubt see
competitors likeMcAfee and Grisoft reaching for the lawyers-
Microsoftwill be offeringMorro as a separate download.
Assuming Morro can deliver decent security it should be a
welcome free addition to Windows, but we don't suggest
throwing away your third-party software just yet. Antivirus
software suites will likely continue to hold an edge over Morro
by offering additional handy tools - like passwordmanagers,
identity theft protection and browser-based phishing
protection.
Still, if you've been runningWindowswith no antivirus software
at all,Morrowill no doubt be better than nothing, and it's hard to
arguewith free.

By being a free product, the new antivirus will certainly bring some trouble such as…

This text refers to questions from 16 through 19.

       In today’s society, measurements are used for many applications not only in industry and science but also in our daily life. There are measurements involved such as when buying petrol or foodstuff from the shop or energy from utilities; when trying to keep within the speed limits when driving your car; in health  analyses when doctors diagnose and treat on the basis of blood pressure measurements; or when authorities make measurements  to control the pollution in the air that we all breathe. Common to all these situations is that the measurement results need to be accepted (with confidence) by society. If not, the result is repeated  measurements, disputes and legal actions. In most cases, the consumer or even the user of the measuring instrument does not personally have either the knowledge, the opportunity or the equipment to check whether the measurement that is so important for us is correct or not. In most countries, the legislature therefore has decided to set accuracy requirements for these types of measurements; most commonly, measurements in trade are regulated, but increasingly, also those within the health and environmental sectors.
       Ongoing harmonization in Europe has become more and more the first reference point for authorities in the establishment of requirements for measurements, as requirements for new
measuring instruments are stated in directives; the most important of these directives being the Measuring Instrument Directive (MID) and the directive on Non-Automatic Weighing Instruments
(NAWI). For many of the instrument categories covered by the directives, there is a national possibility to select the prescription of different accuracy classes for different applications, and furthermore, to decide on what maximum permissible errors (MPEs) to apply in-service.
