Re: How to map a metropolitan city to commercial zones

Just stumbled across this and realized it may be a great way to link a metropolitan city to geographical regions. Its a thing called My Maps by Google. What it does is allow you create custom routes on already existing maps. In theory one can explore this to derive GPS locations which can then be calibrated to transition into commercial zones. Neat huh?

Problem with Circular Queue Implimentations from ADA Notes

Hi all, while studying for exams myself and a colleague discovered that the implementation of circular queues from the ADA notes has a problem. In this implementation, if you follow it through there are 2 major problems with it.

• If you start with an empty queue and add elements till the end of the queue, it will only allow you add at most elements one less than the size of the queue. So if you queue is of size 5, you can only add 4 elements.
• Now because of this, the tail of the queue should wrap around when you reach the end. And assuming you add till you reach the end before you attempt to dequeue, the tail will wrap around and become the head resulting in an empty but yet full queue. STRANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mapping GPS Coordinates to a Metropolitan City as commercial zones

As we all know, GPS coordinates is a set of numbers AKA longitude and latitude measurements that at every given time tell of the position on a global map. Thus every position, bus route, street, house etc in every metropolitan city will have a corresponding GPS coordinate. Commercial zones (in advertising terms) in theory cover a geographical area were advertisers can map a certain price to adverts placed in that area based on certain factors i.e. population density of the area, availability to certain class of consumers or popularity of the area with consumers for example.

Now lets imagine Dublin city as the metropolitan city in question, we can in theory map GPS coordinates for all of D1 and D2 as Commercial Zone 1 (CZ1) because of their central location and availability to high population density. In theory its pretty easy to do this, but in practice its a different story all together. Any Ideas?

Trully next gen tech. Sim cards that host Open Wireless Architecture

For those of you who may not know, open wireless architecture is a platform been developed by a company in China which supports multiple wireless standards i.e. 3G, 4G, wifi, wymax, gsm, cdma etc. into one platform. Much like an ATM network for transmission protocols, OWA aims to produce next gen sim cards that support multiple standards i.e. 3G, 4G. More info in video:

Apple AND Verizon Wireless team up to release an IPOD

The two companies are in talks to develop two iPhone-like handhelds that could be unveiled as soon as this year.

For those of you who are not familiar with the rivalry between Apple and Verizon, these two giants have held a long standing feud thats even seen them publish smear campaigns against each other. The decision to partner together on new mobile devices may see the world of mobile internet cast in a brand new and welcoming light.
