Indians have started to invent

"It won't be $500 after they figure in the costs for getting it approved by the FDA, liability insurance, distribution, marketing, lobbying, etc."


In one line you have summarized why the United States may well lose it's place at the high tech leader of the world. Between bureaucrats and lawyers, it would seem that there is a near insurmountable barrier which India doesn't have.

Ironically, if America had not gone bureau-socialist, these devices could reduce the cost of medical care for the elderly and thus allow a return to historic medicine in America.

If he manages to resist the temptations to buy into the med racket, his Heart Card will allow for a huge market. And that doersn't even begin to cover teh possibilities of providing for analysis of teh data - also for fee.

Hopefully he, and his investors, will go for the mass market rather than trying for the top dollar per patient. The Apple v. PC analogy comes to mind.

"India sucks"

Then why do you bother reading articles that, by the title, obviously praise it?

According to Arvind Thiagarajan, the name MatrixView was chosen because "we view every image as a matrix. We transform the matrix, we also rearrange the matrix."


I'm going to have to check into this some more. We may have an application, too.

What will you do to a image
Diminish it and since medicos can't afford to lose the data hence this project was initiated by a Doctor

[Gengis Khan]

Who says? Who cares? I didn't ask this question, so why am I treated to an answer to it? India sucks..

 

For some people here India sucks because it routinely takes away jobs, gatecrashes into exclusive clubs of  so-called "developed countries",  breaks into bastions traditionally held by the *ahem*  "sole superpower", routinely proves critics wrong about its capabilities..........

Sucks? Think not. I think we rock!

 

And ofcourse for some India is or rather should be "billion-plus poor and [Effectively] enslaved " and "Middle-Ages-like squalor in which they subsist" but how the hell does it dares invent stuff that none other than the "sole superpower" should be inventing. What audacity!

 

I can understand how much it pains to see the "sole Hyperpower" being given a run for its money by the "billion-plus poor and [Effectively] enslaved " and the land of "Middle-Ages-like squalor ".

 

No wonder all such news about technological achievements is met with a kind of scorn and jealousy that indicates an insecurity that the "Hyperpower" days are numbered. However a better way to deal with such insecurities is to attribute these individual enterprises to non entities like  "Judeo-Christian/Roman/English Law ". Brian, if it helps you believeing that then why not.

 

BTWAre you asleep yet?

I do not understand this statement. The decompression of the files should only deal with the output of the Ultra Sound Echo. I believe you are still going to need that $500,000 machine to create the files that the $500 device will compress.

<< Isnt it amazing that a poor person living in middle age squalor can compete ;) >>

Amazing.

Almighty God's miracles never cease to amaze me.

[Too]

Why; speaking of miracles; did you know that -- for just one example -- Doctor Condoleeza Rice, who started life in a sharecropper's shack and entered the University of Denver at the age of 15, competed so successfully that by the age of 49 she had been propelled into the most important government job on God's Green Earth??!!

And that it is a given that as fast as India's beautiful Peoples are set FRee their rise will be as meteoric??!!

And the sky no limit??!!

Speaking of miracles.

You are talking about two different things here:

1. Image acquisition devices (that as you say would cost ...say $500,000)

2. Image compression softwares (that will now cost $500)

Image compression softwares is important when you consider transfer, storage and retrival of high resolution images which are *large files* and plus the related medical data associated with the image.

I know it since worked in the field of Medical imaging (Dicom) :)

Doctor Condoleeza Rice, who started life in a sharecropper's shack

NOT.

Good grief.

Nobody said that. Some of us just think India should build itself without dumping their labor costs on the US market.. putting countless americans out of work. Nobody's trying to keep india down IMO. And nobody particularly wants India down. But there's a difference between building something and taking what others have built.

[Havoc]

Then why do you bother reading articles that, by the title, obviously praise it?

Oh, I get it, if you disagree with something, you avoid the subject?

[Gengis Khan]

"Oh, I get it, if you disagree with something, you avoid the subject?"

You didnt say you disagreed. You said "Who cares". Well if you dont care why bother?

[Gengis Khan]

"Some of us just think India should build itself without dumping their labor costs on the US market.. putting countless americans out of work."

We all "dump" a lot of things on each other. "Dumping" is a very old game. Even the US does it in our part of the world and big time.

In fact the US is a very old player in this game just that you have probably not heard about the US doing it. Globalisation has only made it possible for "the third world" to dump a few things on the US now. Its a dog eat dog world world ya know. We are only playing by the rules (and we didnt make those rules).

We "suck" because we play well.

And as for the article......the guy has built something, he isnt stealing anything nor is he taking what others have built.

"Doctor Condoleeza Rice, who started life in a sharecropper's shack and entered the University of Denver at the age of 15, competed so successfully that by the age of 49 she had been propelled into the most important government job on God's Green Earth??!!"

Our President Dr.Abdul Kalam (Muslim) used to sell newspapers as a child. He is also the father of our nuclear bombs and ICBMs. In other words he himself grew up from utter poverty and made India a nuclear power. Not bad eh?

[razoroccam]

What subject am I avoiding?

Once again, why do you bother showing up on threads that are pro-India if you don't like India?

[razoroccam]

Amazing on two scores
1. You wrote sentences that are in understandable English
2. I agree with what you posted.

Wonders never cease.

Ironically, if America had not gone bureau-socialist, these devices could reduce the cost of medical care for the elderly and thus allow a return to historic medicine in America.

How come that in Sweden medical care is both cheaper and delivers better results? Why Sweden is one of the leading centers of medical innovation?

Doctor Condoleeza Rice, who started life in a sharecropper's shack

Did she?!

"Ms Rice's mother was a music teacher who taught her to play the piano. Her father was a pastor and college principal" ( Profile: Condoleezza Rice)
