Palm Computing

Palm, Inc. is a smartphone manufacturer headquartered in Sunnyvale, California that is responsible for products such as the Pre and Pixi as well as the Treo and Centro smartphones.


Parallel Computing

is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously,operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently ("in parallel").

DNA Computing

is a form of computing which uses DNA, biochemistry and molecular biology, instead of the traditional silicon-based computer technologies. DNA computing, or, more generally, bio molecular computing, is a fast developing interdisciplinary area.

Optical Computing

An optical computer (also called a photonic computer) is a device that uses the photons of visible light or infrared (IR) beams, rather than electrons in the electric current, to perform digital computations. An electric current creates heat in computer systems.

I too didn't have any idea about the words as these words are new to me as well but thanks for the information.

Do any one have any idea why DNA Computing is being used.
