Amazing Son

Masayoshi Son is a Korean-Japanese businessman - whose grandfather came from Korea to Japan - and the founder and current chief executive officer of SoftBank Capital, and the chief executive officer of SoftBank Mobile. According to the Forbes magazine, his net worth is 7 billion dollars and he is the richest man in Japan, despite being the single person who has lost the most money in history (approximately 70 billion dollars in the dot com crash of 2000).

The company was one of the first to invest in Yahoo.com before the dot com boom, then took the Yahoo! Brand to Japan and established it as the dominant internet service in the country. Purchasing Vodafone UK‘s mobile license in 2006 gave it access to Japan’s 100m+ mobile subscribers and since then the company has innovated in bringing iPhone and iPad to the market, promoted Twitter and recently invested in video streaming service uStream amongst other things.

A third-generation son of a Korean family in Japan, Son was not considered a Japanese citizen until his family adopted a Japanese surname. Son pursued his interests in business by securing a meeting with Japan McDonald's president Den Fujita. Taking his advice, Son began studying English and computer science.

At age 16, Son moved to California and finished high school while staying with friends and family in South San Francisco. He then enrolled at University of California, Berkeley in which he majored in economics and took some computer science courses. Enamored by a microchip featured in a magazine, Son at age 19 became confident that computer technology would ignite the next commercial revolution.

Convinced that anything related to microchips could yield a fortune, Son decided to produce at least one entrepreneurial idea a day. He patented a translating device that he eventually sold to Sharp Electronics for $1 million. Applications of the patent include the Wizard series of Sharp PDAs.

Flush with cash, Son imported Space Invaders video arcade systems and dispersed them about the UC Berkeley campus. Soon after graduating from Berkeley with a BA in economics in 1980, Son started Unison in Oakland, California, which has since been bought by Kyocera.

The charismatic president of Softbank Corp., has announced a decade-long search for someone worthy of stepping into his shoes. About 300 people will be enrolled in the Softbank Academia, which is tasked with grooming his successor. About 10 percent of the candidates will be drawn from outside the company. Son has said he will hand over the company's management when he is in his 60s. At an annual shareholders meeting in June, he described the issue of who would succeed him as "the biggest risk for the company."

The "Next 30-Year Vision" calls for the Softbank group to expand its market capitalization from 2.6 trillion yen to 200 trillion yen, earn a place among the world's top 10 companies and increase the number of its group companies by 5-6 times!!!

HDBaseT Networking

HDBaseT to replace HDMI as the new A/V/control standard

HDBaseT technology runs over STANDARD Cat5e/6 cable and implements ‘5Play’, which is a feature-set that converges full uncompressed HD video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, and various control signals. It also transmits up to 100W of power - that's enough to drive a 37-inch TV. And it can extend up to 100 meters passively. HDBaseT has the bandwidth to support the highest video resolutions such as full HD 1080p as well as 3D and 2Kx4K formats. HDBaseT is the first to provide all-in-one connectivity, making it possible for a single-connector TV to receive power, video/audio, Internet and control signals from the same cable.

What makes HDBaseT so odd is that it is sending more info than HDMI over a set of 8 wires within a standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It can do this by using much lower frequency modulated packets. These are not IP packets like you find in Gigabit Ethernet. Since they run on such low frequency, they are not subjected to typical EM (electromagnetic) interference. That means you can make the the cables lie in front of a microwave or a cell phone and there are no problems with signal degradation.

What's REALLY impressive is that HDBaseT's protocol allows you to literally NETWORK your sources and displays just like you do your home data network.

5Play is concurrent in its ability to send all of these different types of data. It converges full uncompressed HD video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, high power over cable and various control signals through a single 100m/328ft CAT5e/6 LAN cable. HDBaseT has the bandwidth to support the highest video resolutions such as full HD 1080p as well as 3D and 4K x 2K formats. HDBaseT is the first to provide all-in-one connectivity, making it possible for a single-connector TV to receive power, video/audio, Internet and control signals from the same cable.

Here's a quick comparison against other existing technologies:

 

Feature	HDMI 1.4a	DisplayPort 1.2	HDBaseT 1.0
Uncompressed Video/Audio	10.2Gbps	21.6 Gbps (17Gbps data)	10.2Gbps (can scale to 20Gbps)
Max Passive Cable Length	~5-7m	15m for 5Gbps (3m for 5-21.6Gbps)	100m (plus 8x multiple hops)
Cable type	HDMI	DisplayPort	Cat5e/6
Connector type	HDMI	DisplayPort	RJ-45
Charging power	No	No	100W
Daisy chainable	No	Yes	Yes
Installation-friendly	Heck No	No	Yes (can use existing wiring)
USB	No	Yes	Yes
Networking methods	None	Daisy & Star	Daisy & Star (with extended-range)

LG, Samsung, Valens Semiconductor and Sony Pictures are behind the HDBaseT. The 1.0 spec is completed.

Since HDBaseT is capable of sending 100W of POWER over a single Cat5e/6 cable, this means that many smaller televisions (figure 37-inch TVs at the most right now) are going to be able to receive literally everything they need from a single cable - even without an electrical outlet nearby. This is over a standard Cat5e/6 (Ethernet) cable. It doesn't need to be shielded and there's no danger involved in sending power within. HDBaseT is working with UL right now on certification for this, but there are no warning signs or inherent problems with it passing. At this point, it's just going though the proper motions & channels.

Attitude is Everything!

IT'S BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE.

THAN TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE ....... BECAUSE OF EGO

WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES, IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE ?

A WISE MAN SAID :

AIR IS EVERYWHERE,

BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN TO FEEL IT .

WHEN YOU TRUST SOMEONE TRUST HIM COMPLETELY WITHOUT

ANY DOUBT....... AT THE END YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE TWO: EITHER A LESSON FOR YOUR LIFE OR A VERY GOOD PERSON

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ACT TRUE TO YOUR FACE ........

IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO REMAIN TRUE BEHIND YOUR BACK

SOLDIER : SIR WE ARE SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES BY ENEMIES ,

MAJOR : EXCELLENT ! WE CAN ATTACK IN ANY DIRECTION.

THE WORST IN LIFE IS "ATTACHMENT " IT HURTS WHEN YOU LOSE IT. THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS " LONELINESS " BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING AND, WHEN YOU LOSE IT, YOU GET EVERYTHING.

"You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few moments; then the wind blows your footprints away."

“I hear and I forget.

I see and I remember.

I do and I understand.”

Chinese proverb

Past is Experience! Present is Experiment! Future is Expectation!

Use your Experience in u r Experiment to achieve u r Expectations!

Bharath Bandh!

Why will someone make life come to a standstill and incur millions in losses for protesting against another loss? Is this not a fictitious cycle of losing always?

Bharath Bandh organized by the opposition parties on July 5th made Bharath incur a loss of about Rs. 13,000 crore says, Assocham.

When will this aam aadmi realize that the opposition is only trying to bring the Government down and not trying to understand the situation. The thousands of youth recruited to organize bandhs, hartals, etc is not a good sign for a progressive India relying mainly on it's young educated workforce.


God save India.
