Beginning a New Decade
Q Magazine was launched a decade ago, in the dawn of the digital
information age. The first mobile news service delivered via SMS was
launched in Finland in 2000, and it was not only a precursor to a wealth of information services including a social media network and mobile environment, but it was also a harbinger of the evolution from print to the digital information age. MORE
Smart Sustainability - join ARM's research project and receive free benchmarking opportunities
ARM and IBLF have launched a survey on how the technology sector is addressing global sustainability issues.
The brief online questionnaire will take no more than 5 minutes and all participants will be sent a soft copy of the final "Smart Sustainability" report.
There are significant extra benefits if you then have time to go on and complete a more detailed survey, which will take around twenty minutes:
a (confidential) report benchmarking your company's performance against other respondents
the right to use this data, and the final "Smart Sustainability" report, in your own publications
$10 donation to the East African Drought Campaign from ARM for every full survey completed
The resulting report is assured excellent coverage through ARM's participation in the UN LEAD initiative and the associated activities. The International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) is working with ARM to compile this report. Please click here to complete the questionnaire.
We would like to thank you in advance for your participation. If you have any queries about the questionnaire, please contact Bridget Cochrane, Director of the Digital Partnership at IBLF [email protected].

ARM Powered Dive Computer Watch
SCUBAPRO-UWATEC has unveiled the sophisticated SCUBAPRO Meridian dive computer watch, designed for depths of up to 120 meters.
The watch is powered by Energy Micro's EFM32G890 Gecko 32MHz, 32-bit microcontroller, based on the powerful ARM Cortex-M3 processor. Requiring just 180µA/MHz while active, the device provides the flexibility of five MCU sleep modes, three of which draw less than a microamp of current. The device has been designed to be powered by a single CR2032 lithium battery.
While diving, the Meridian can be configured to display a variety of dive information including depth, dive time, decompression status, and water temperature. Above the surface it handles remaining desaturation time, no-fly time, and features a built in thermometer and altimeter that is perfect for mountain treks.
