 Besides being unhealthy, excessive noise makes it hard to work. Israeli researchers, led by Bar Ilan University, and a number of startups in the country are doing groundbreaking work in getting rid of the “static” and annoying noises that interfere with real communication – both over the internet, and in real life.  While many folks are savvy enough to protect their computers and networks from hackers, they often neglect a far greater security risk – their cellphones, which are open to hacking and eavesdropping without protection. Israeli startup Tikal Networks helps keep your secrets a secret with its Cryptone cellphone security system.  As weddings become more expensive, young couples – and their families – go further into hock to finance them. How can families and couples with a million other expenses pay for a modern wedding – short of robbing a bank? Avi Blum of Win-Win Wedding has a better and safer way – join of his site’s auctions, and win yourself a top-class wedding!  Who will invest in the ultimate startups – the places where the magic begins? Those entrepreneurs have to start somewhere, and that somewhere is in school. Companies like Rad Communications and Radware, who were once startups themselves, take the longer view and invest in the country’s true “startups”: Elementary schools, high schools, and universities.  Israel’s NTTM enables anyone to have a ‘name number,’ allowing others to dial them by choosing a letter, rather than a number, combination. What’s more, the system is virtually unlimited, allowing anyone to adopt any user name they want, with spaces or symbols between the first and last name.  Two recent exhibitions – the High-Tech Industry Association Conference, and the Israel Life Sciences Industry BioMed show – portrayed Israel’s great contributions to making the world a better place, and the progress yet to come.  As hackers seek to take down Israeli sites, it’s just a matter of time before they attack one that really matters. With Otenti’s unique OOBA system, however, hackers have far less opportunity to do their dirty work.  When it comes to software/hardware technology, internet content, networking, firewalls – just about any hi-tech area, in fact – Israeli companies are among the industry leaders, if not the leaders. Just about any area, that is, except for one – video games. If you thought gaming was a waste of time, thing again – the video game market was worth $20 billion in the U.S. alone in 2009, almost double the sales of five years earlier. But somehow, besides a few notable successful exceptions, Israel hasn’t performed as well in the game business as it has in other tech development [...]  Investing is confusing enough – and it’s even more confusing when you parse the internet looking for expert or investor opinions on what move to make! Opinions count, though – they make up the “sentiment” that often makes the market go up or down. Bulloonz has come up with a revolutionary new system that lets investors get a picture of sentiment about the market as a whole, industries, or stocks – giving investors a new, powerful tool to help them succeed.  Old technologies can survive in a new world; they just have to learn to adapt. The experience of Israel’s Focus Telecom shows that “traditional” landline and cellphone companies can survive in a world of IP telephony – to the benefit of their customers, and themselves! |
