The nickel-cadmium battery (commonly abbreviated NiCd or NiCad) is a popular type of rechargeable battery for portable electronics and toys using the metals nickel (Ni) and cadmium (Cd) as the active chemicals. They are sometimes used as a replacement for primary cells, such as heavy duty or alkaline, being available in many of the same sizes. In addition, specialty NiCd batteries have a niche market in the area of cordless and wireless telephones, emergency lighting, as well as power tools.
Due to their beneficial weight/energy ratio as compared to lead based technologies and good service lifetimes, nickel-cadmium batteries of large capacities with a wet electrolyte (wet NiCds) are used for electric cars and as start batteries for aeroplanes.

The world wide web: The second browser war
Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:30:35 -0000
Google’s new web browser is its most direct attack on Microsoft yetSEVERAL years ago, Silicon Valley was rife with rumours that Google, then primarily a search engine, might be building a new web browser to rival that of Microsoft, called Internet Explorer, or even an operating system to rival Microsoft’s Windows. Google mocked those rumours and they died down. But if Sergey Brin, Google’s co-founder, is to be believed, the speculation itself made him think that “maybe it’s not a bad idea”. And so this week Google did launch a new browser, called Chrome, that is also, in effect, a new operating system. The rumours, says Mr Brin cheekily, “just happened to migrate from being false to being true”.Chrome amounts to a declaration of war—albeit a pre-emptive one, in Google’s mind—against Microsoft. So far, Google has been coy about admitting the rivalry (whereas Microsoft, especially its boss, Steve Ballmer, is obsessed with it). In web search and advertising, Google dominates—roughly as Microsoft does in operating systems and office applications. To the extent that Google has challenged Microsoft’s core business, it is through Google Docs, its online word-processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications. But these, so far, have few users. ...

Face value: Deflating IT
Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:30:35 -0000
The chief executive of AdventNet, Sridhar Vembu, has a shot at becoming software’s Michael DellSRIDHAR VEMBU is a dangerous man. If he succeeds, a lot of people will lose a lot of money: software developers, consultants, shareholders and others. The chief executive of AdventNet does not have fraud in mind. Instead, he wants to remove what he calls the “value-pad” from corporate IT in general and business software in particular: all those millions of dollars he thinks are wasted on inefficient production structures, marketing and, not least, proprietary standards. “In the world of corporate IT”, he says, “the low-cost revolution is very much unfinished business.”Mr Vembu may have only a fighting chance at becoming software’s answer to Michael Dell, who commoditised much of IT’s hardware business. With revenues of $60m a year and about 900 employees, his firm accounts for a drop in the $3.4 trillion ocean that Gartner, a consultancy, thinks companies will spend on IT this year. And the products he expects to disrupt the IT market, a suite of online offerings for small businesses, have yet to earn much money despite a respectable 1m registered users. Still, his ambitions for Zoho, as he calls the suite, may mark the beginning of the end of the fat years for big Western IT firms, especially the sellers of software. ...
