Hot on the heels of a new supercomputer, plans for a new light-speed data line between the Translational Genomics Research Institute and Arizona State University could slash the time is takes to transfer genetic information. Accelerating the flow of information could help speed discoveries that eventually could help produce treatments and cures for diseases such as Alzheimer s, autism, diabetes and various cancers.

USB 3.0 has arrived, or at least the specification that allows the technology to start being built into devices. Offering data-transfer speeds up to 4.8 gigabits per second - that s 10 times the USB 2.0 speeds - USB 3.0 is also expected to offer better power efficiency. Sure, there s wireless ways to transfer digital files - but the bigger they are, the slower they move. In just a few years, mainstream digital cameras exponentially increased their resolution rates and zoom capabilities, prompting the files to grow in size, as well. Likewise, many of those same cameras now shoot video clips, large files that also need to be offloaded to a PC. The question is: does it take 10 minutes or...

A new discovery by London biologists may yield new ways of handling transplant rejection. Scientists confirm the two-way transfer of a molecule that instructs the immune system to tell "self" from "non-self." By disrupting the transfer of this molecule, newly transplanted organs should become "invisible" to the host s immune system. Such an advance would be considered a major medical breakthrough.

Griffin Technology Inc. has announced iTalk (iTunes link) a new sound recording app for iPhone, iPhone 3G, and 2nd generation iPod touch that turns the iPhone or iPod touch into a mobile audio recorder. iTalk is a two-part app allows you to create high-quality recordings with one-touch recording controls then transfer the recordings to a Mac or PC. The companion desktop program (iTalk Sync) runs on your computer to transfer recordings from iPod or iPhone for editing and sharing. Griffin s iTalk is free for a limited time from the App Store.

New mathematical algorithms for the next radio chip generation are under development. According to one of the mathematicians: "In the future, mobile devices will provide customers with services ranging from telephony and internet to mobile TV and remote banking, anytime, anywhere. It is impossible to realize the necessary, extremely high data transfer rates within the frequency bands used today (approximately 1-3GHz)." The new project serves to enable the development of low-cost wireless chips that can operate in a frequency range of up to 100GHz.

The move that helped David Beckham reclaim his spot as the highest paid soccer player in the world -- his 2007 transfer to the L.A. Galaxy brought a contract worth as much as $250 million over five years -- may be costing him now. Costing him plenty, actually.

Tottenham and Man City are dominating the headlines so far on the final day of the transfer window.

In Apple s drive to differentiate its professional and less-professional notebook lines, the company left out support for FireWire on its new Aluminum MacBook. While some Mac sites are pointing to composite video-transfer boxes as a way to get video from a camera to the MacBook, there is at least one FireWire-to-USB bridge cable on the market for transferring video.
