Tera-

Tera is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting multiplication by 10¹² or 1000000000000 (one trillion short scale; one billion long scale). It has the symbol T. Tera is derived from Greek word τέρας teras, meaning "monster". The prefix tera- was confirmed for use in the SI in 1960.

Examples of its use:

Binary prefix

A binary prefix is a prefix attached before a unit symbol to multiply it by a power of 2. In computing, such a prefix is seen in combination with a unit of information (bit, byte, etc.), to indicate a power of 1024.

The computer industry has historically used the units kilobyte, megabyte, and gigabyte, and the corresponding symbols KB, MB, and GB, in at least two slightly different measurement systems. In citations of main memory (RAM) capacity, gigabyte customarily means 7009107374182400000♠1073741824 bytes. As this is the third power of 1024, and 1024 is a power of two (2¹⁰), this usage is referred to as a binary prefix.

In most other contexts, the industry uses the multipliers kilo, mega, giga, etc., in a manner consistent with their meaning in the International System of Units (SI), namely as powers of 1000. For example, a 500 gigabyte hard disk holds 7011500000000000000♠500000000000 bytes, and a 100-megabit-per-second Ethernet connection transfers data at 7008100000000000000♠100000000 bit/s. In contrast with the binary prefix usage, this use is described as a decimal prefix, as 1000 is a power of 10 (10³).

Meinü robot

A Meinü robot is a Chinese gynoid model which was reported on in Chinese news sources in 2006. In Mandarin, Měinǚ Jīqìrén 美女机器人 literally means "beautiful-woman robot" and is officially translated "beauty robot". The first Meinü was later named Miss Rong Cheng.

The unit is capable of locomotion, using visual navigation to avoid obstacles, speech recognition, emotion recognition (whether audio or gestural is not stated), and speaking. The languages it uses are English, Mandarin and Sichuan dialect. It can tell jokes, sing songs, etc. It is intended for tour-guide applications, businesses and hotels, advertising, and possibly for TV-show hosting.

Rong Cheng was sent to the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum to be a receptionist or tour guide. The build cost was approximately 300,000 yuan ($37,500), but the inventors expect this can be reduced to a third of that if 100 are to be produced. Only one year of research was required to produce it, which suggests it builds on other projects.

Mein (song)

"Mein" (German for either "mine" or "my") is the second single from the American alternative metal band Deftones' fifth album, Saturday Night Wrist, and their 11th single overall. The song featured Serj Tankian of System of a Down on vocals. The single was released on March 13, 2007.

The song garnered little radio play and subsequently failed to chart well on American rock charts, peaking at No. 40 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. An NME review derided the track as "boring".

In a later interview on Reddit, Tankian was asked how the collaboration had come about, replying: "Chino asked and I obliged :) We´ve all been friends an toured together for many years"

Music video

During the week of January 20, 2007, the band filmed a music video for "Mein", which was subsequently leaked to YouTube on March 2. Directed by Bernard Gourley, the video depicted many hip hop influences and breakdancers while the band performed on top of a parking structure with the Los Angeles skyline in the background.
