BabelFish-translation for a global audience
I talk you listen! Google are taking their Babelfish program one step further by combining translation and speech recognition software technology and incorporating both in their Android mobile phone operating system.
Babelfish as most ITphiles may be aware is Googles Translation software service which translates multiple languages but is currently only available as a written translation service and now Google are seeking to extend this service by taking the next evolutionary step by using voice recognition software to provide a speech to speech translation service.
Although requiring additional R&D and some years in the future with undoubted technical hurdles to overcome, Google are convinced and see this as a realistic objective. We may yet see Babelfones come to pass in a relatively short period of time offering a flexible translation service to a global customer base and marking yet another milestone in Convergence Technology.

Saving and Serving Millions -Microsofts new Data Center sited in Dublin
A good day to you from My science jobs on this cool but dry day where it pays to be cool!
Who’d have ever thought that the Irish weather would be a reason why science jobs would come to Ireland?
Serious! It appears that the Irish weather is one of the primary reasons why Microsoft have chosen to site a state of the art Data center in Dublin over several other competing potential sites globally. This site costing over €500 million has already directly resulted in Microsoft and supplier firms recruiting for hundreds of new science jobs and technical related disciplines in the fields of IT and Telecommunications. It will no doubt result in hundreds if not thousands of additional science jobs being created as it supports Irelands existing science and technical infrastructure.
So why choose Ireland then?
Answer;-because it appears the weather is neither too hot or too cold, the new Data Center will not need the normally required and expensive to run cooling towers and heating /ventilation systems. These use prodigeous amounts of electricity and are essential to support the servers operating parameters.
Consider if you will then, that these servers run 365 days a year 24 hours a day -that is a lot of electricity even a small reduction in use then can have massive direct savings. In the case of the new facility this can run into savings in the order of millions. So before it starts, it has already the new site has already saved money. To be cool; stay tuned to mysciencejobs.com for further news and the best science jobs.
