Hipster - Personal Trailer

When the backpack is a bit too grade-schoolish for your tastes and the shoulder bag just doesn’t haul enough gear for your liking you now have the option of pulling around your own personal trailer. Designed by Joel Hoag the Hipster was inspired by his father’s wish to walk across the United States and he hopes his personal trailer will launch a new sport of ‘adventure walking’ some day. It comes in two varieties at the moment, the Hipster I which uses a single wheel to keep the trailer light, maneuverable and compact and the Hipster II which uses two wheels making it stronger and capable of carrying heavier loads. The Elseware Design’s website currently lists the Hipster as being available on a made-to-order basis but pricing info is not available. VIA

LG Philips Flexible E-book: World’s Largest

LG Philips has announced their largest E-book. This 14.1-inch WXGA flexible E-book was announced at IMID 2006 (International Meeting on Information Display). It has been developed in partnership with E-ink, although crowned as the largest in this field; the E-book is practically feasible for relatively still images as 300 ms response time is slow and far from playing videos. In any case the E-paper is quite flexible and is easy to carry around as a daily newspaper. Regular LCDs definitely seem to be a passé in front of these.


Southwest Windpower’s Skystream 3.7: A $10,000 Wind Turbine to Energize Your Home

Southwest Windpower is launching Skystream 3.7 wind turbine next month that comes with features like economic power-generation, an ease of installation and portability. This is the right concept for energy conservation that saves an average of $500 to $800 expenditure on electricity. Jim Green (senior project manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s National Wind Technology Center in Golden, Colo) said: I think Skystream has a chance to break the 10 cent per kilowatt hour at the best sites. Comparable technologies that generate electricity from the wind or even the sun cost between 15 to 35 cents per kilowatt-hour. Usual Wind turbines need stabilizing wires to help it stand tall. In addition, it requests three electrical boxes to convert the produced energy into useable electricity. Whereas, Skystream needs no stabilizing wires. Built in electrical conversion machine measuring 35 feet long turbine requires to stand 20 feet higher than the tallest thing within a 500-foot radius. During zero production period users get automatically switched to household connection. Price band $10,000 to $12,000. Via: dsc.discovery

Nanosolar: Cost Effective Solar Films

Energy produced through solar gadgets is not only cost-effective but also environment conducive. Nanosolar is one such company which is based in California and uses an innovative technology to build a “solar film”. It is also on its track to produce solar electricity. The company prints CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-selenium) on a thin polymer using machines that look like printing presses. The procedure is very cost effective as the solar cell from Nanosolar would cost way too much less than standard silicon solar panel. The company is also starting shortly the volume production of its photovoltaic technology. They eventually plan to produce 430 megawatts of solar cells per year. It would also produce plastic sheets coated with the particles to generate electricity on the rooftops of big box retailers. Via: TreeHugger

HOW TO: Cook An Egg With Your Cell Phone

Cooking your breakfast on a MacBook is not a new concept. But, would you believe my words if I say you could cook an egg with your cell phone? You might say that I have gone nuts. Well, I have a proof to support my statement. Two journalists named Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko in Moscow has made it possible to cook an egg with a cell phone. The idea to utilize the radio waves generated by the cell phone is quite straightforward. •Just make a microwave structure as shown in the image above. •Keep your cell phone on talking mode and put a tape recorder near it to emulate the sound. •The radiated radio waves will cook the egg for you. So friends, what’s the big deal? Still, if you don’t believe my words, why don’t you try it yourself and cook an egg with your cell phone? Via: Yusuf.asgerally

Researchers Create Microwave Drill That Cuts Through Concrete Like Butter

We’d love to start this article by saying “Don’t expect to pick this up at your local Home Depot anytime soon”… but to be honest, this is exactly what it sounds like you’ll be able to do, whithin a few years. Eli Jerby and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel have developed a special drill that uses microwaves to make holes from 1mm to 1cm wide in concrete and glass simply by heating the materials past their melting point, (nearly 2,000 ºC) and pushing the drill bit through. The drill bit is a needle-like antenna that emits intense microwave radiation. The microwaves create a hot spot around the bit, melting or softening the material so that the bit can be pushed in. But the drill can’t bore through everything effectively. Sapphire’s melting point, for instance, is too high. And steel conducts heat too well for a hot spot to develop. But the device works fine on rocks and concrete. In fact, the heat may even strengthen holes’ walls in ceramics by welding together the fine grains in the material. Drilling by melting is nothing new, as it’s been done with lasers for some time. But this is cost prohibitive, while the new drill would cost hardly more than a regular drill. The only concern would be the worker’s safety, which will allegedly be assured via a simple metal shield in front of the bit.

The Snakefighter, aka “Snakes on a Firetruck”




While Snakes on a Plane not only sounds like a bad idea but also happens to be shaping up to be a box office flop, Snakes on a Firetruck is a different story altogether (it’s a bad pun, in case you’re not catching my drift). In 2003, some researchers at SINTEF began a project called “Snakefighter”, which sought to develop a self-propelled snakelike robot with the ability to shoot water. This would evidently allow it to extinguish some fires that would otherwise be too dangerous for human firefighters to get close to.
The ingenious aspect with this idea is that the energy the system needs in order to move is already available inside the fire hose, which contains water pressurized to 100 bar. The advantage of serpentine locomotion instead of wheel- or leg-based propulsion is greater flexibility and traversability.
SINTEF now has developed a prototype, which is 3m long and weighs 70 kg. The water hydraulic actuators give the robot enormous power. It moves like a biological snake and can raise its head above the ground to spray water. It is however at the moment only used as proof of concept, and there seems to be no concrete plans for commercialization.[Snake Firefighting Robot

Logitech Unleashes the ‘Revolution’

Sometimes, in fact, everytime, the standard scroll wheel of a mouse requires too much effort to move from one page to quite a deal of pages. So what one does, either he goes for the keyboard or use the window’s scroll bar instead. However, with Logitech’s new MicroGear Precision Scrolling Wheel, which is incorporated in the MX and VX mice of the Revolution series, you can jump with a couple of rolling to many pages with ease. Its conspicuous feature is its “freewheel mode” which with a tender flick of your finger spins the wheel freely. What more, a mild touch on the wheel stops the scroll immediately. Scrolling through a large iTunes library too is easy with this new wheel. This line of Revolution mice are made up of alloy thus it is heavier than conventional wheels.

Jet Powered Go-Kart

What you’ve got is a go-kart with a MK101 Solent Gas Turbine Starter that produces 70bhp and 140.1bft torque. From the designers: The engine was originally used on the Phantom Fighter aircraft as a self-contained starter unit for the main engines when ground support was not available. It is not designed to operate for more than 40 seconds at any one time, so we had to design elements such as the lubrication, fuel and cooling systems to allow for constant running. Of course, an article about a functional jet powered go-kart wouldn’t be complete without a video. So, come inside to check it out.

The DeLighTable

At first glance, the DeLighTable from Thomas Gardner may seem like some high tech toy, using OLEDs, and touch sensitive screens or whatnot. But it isn’t. The table, which allows you to create nifty visual effects by simply touching it, uses a rather simple, but elegantly implemented technique. An opaque liquid is sandwiched between a transparent plastic film and a light source. When touched, the liquid moves away and lets the light shine through. And just like that, you’ve got a very cool coffee table that will only have set you back £1200.

SkyScout

Telescopes with the ability to automatically adjust their position to point towards a particular star or constellation are nothing new but typically setups with that functionality are not that portable. This is where the SkyScout comes in. Wherever you are just point the handheld device at any celestial object in the sky and with the click of a button the SkyScout will identify it and provide a comprehensive text and audio description about the object including its history, mythology and other info. While the optics in the SkyScout are definitely no replacement for a full-size telescope I think its size and functionality make it a useful tool for any astronomer. The SkyScout also has an SD card slot for adding optional “Sky Tour” audio presentations and includes a USB port which allows its database to be updated with new discoveries like comets or even man-made objects such as the space shuttle. The SkyScout is currently available for about $400.[SkyScout]

Apple’s Three New Patents Uncovered

The US Patent & Trademark Office has published Apple’s three patents related to:
1. managing internet transactions
2. managing as well as penetrating metadata, and
3. a third for a display actuator.
The first patent is an object-oriented move to expand and run internet transactions, it can erect active queries for data, based on either user input or data store within an external database.
Second patent describes the process for filing data in a data processing system and systems for managing data. This is a system for managing data, such as metadata, which can be created by various software applications.
Apple’s filing centered on the reduction of complexity, cost savings, and offer sleek interface to users along with maximizing the area for visual output with the help of display actuators. Apple’s filing is capable of accessing the stored data. A single search interface is capable to search all of the metadata for all of the different files created by the different software applications; also, it can search for indexed or non-indexed content from the actual data files.

The major drawbacks would be the limited 512MB memory and an archaic USB 1.1 connection that comes with each unit. The Muvio retails for 220 Euros.

We often think that the only purpose of the stethoscope is for the physician to listen to our beating hearts. What we don't know is, doctors aren't boring people and have a sense of adventure with their equipment just like how we like to trick out our vehicles with bling rims and LCD display headlights. In the event where a patient arrives at the emergency department without a hearing aid, the physician can speak into the stethoscope's diaphragm piece while the patient listens on the other end, and vice versa for a makeshift hearing aid. There are other uses for the boring looking stethoscope such as a reflex hammer, but that's another story for another day.

iRobot PackBot fitted with sniffing technology

Smiths Detection has the honor of supplying the Lightweight Chemical Detector (LCD) to the US Army’s Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center to be incorporated into the new reconnaissance robot, the iRobot PackBot. When fitted with the LCD, this robot will be empowered to detect a vast array of chemical warfare agents comprising nerve, blister, blood, and choking agents amongst others. These new robots will help reduce the risk of human casualties under dangerous wartime conditions.

450Km Per Charge

Fashion house, Maison de Courrèges’s André and Coqueline Courrèges have embellished their electric vehicle line with the latest ‘Zooop’ that takes you 450 km per charge. The three-seater 690 kg car runs on powerful Lithium Polymer batteries (70 A/hour 370 V) that don’t let you down by generating 150 kW of power and still maintaining their cool, and charging and recharging fast. The Zooop can reach speeds of 180 km/h, which is too good and apparently gives relief to the depleting crude oil resources. It’s sad we’ve been designing cars to whet our undying appetite for speed and thrill, completely neglecting what and how much nature has in the offing. I think these types of designs should have emerged at least a decade before, however, automobile manufactures, who have in fact lost their focus, can bounce back with more creative and practical concepts like the Zooop, which ironically is unleashed by a fashion house, and help getting back the lost sheen of this beautiful planet.

Standing Wheelchair’

Hats off to designers who can put themselves right into the shoes of the physically challenged and create these impeccable machines that not only make them stand on their feet but also give them a chance to taste life in its full flavor, at least a bit of it. This excellent standing wheelchair stands apart by literally allowing people to stand upright and get out of the shell, which apparently was perceived by them as their graves; great idea indeed! The concept would definitely give a boost to many disabled by showing them the glimpses of life. این دستگاه طراحی شده برای افرادی که دارای معلولیت هستند و به آنها اجازه ایستادن روی پاها و همچنین حرکت را میدهد. ایده بسیار جالب و قابل تفکریست!

‘Treadmill Bike’: Walk Your Bicycle

You must have successfully burnt a hell lot of that extra flab by flexing your muscles on the RowBike. However, all my pouch-bellied pals who failed to do so can hang with this ultimate ‘Treadmill Bike’. Just like the RowBike, the treadmill bicycle kill two birds with one stone, coupling healthy environment friendly biking and helping you reach your destination, of course by draining all your strength, but for good. The unique treadmill bicycle, introduced by the Bicycle Forest, is a perfect replacement for expensive gym machines, simply fitting a treadmill on top of a bicycle that tone up all your muscles and ensures a healthy aerobics exercise. However, better test your mettle before setting off on one, remember, it’s a walking bicycle. دوچرخه تردمیل به شما امکان استفاده از هوای ازاد و همچنین لاغر شدن و دوچرخه سواری را میدهد که با تردمیل که به چرخ عقب ارتباط دارد حرکت میکند.

Locate 1 works great for keeping kids

Parents who are worried that their kids might play truant would want to consider the Locate 1. The Locate 1 functions via GPS and utilizes MicroTRAKgps to give you the bearings of the tracked subject. Since all data is transmitted back to a server wirelessly, you can view the exact location of Junior via the Internet. An interesting feature included is the ability to set speed limits or zones, where an alert will be sent to you in the event where the tagged subject crosses the speed limit or wanders out from the designated territory. Data is updated half hourly, and summaries of the day's activities are available for your perusal. The Locate 1 is extremely portable, making it easy to sneak into a car trunk or a bag pocket. Each Locate 1 unit costs $500 which includes the activation and monthly service fees. پدر و مادارنی که نسبت به محلهایی که فرزندشان رفت و امد دارد نگران هستند با استفاده از این دستگاه که یک جی پی اس و فرستنده هست مکان دقیق را پیدا میکنند و چون بصورت وایرلس کار میکند براحتی از اینترنت قابل دسترسیست.نکته مهم اینست که میتوانید برای دستگاه محدودیت ایجاد کنید تا اگر از محدوده خارج شد به ما اعلام کند. اطلاعات هر نیم ساعت به روز میشوند و میتوانید سرعت را نیز محدودیت دار کنید.قیمت500دلار

Bluevoice merges Bluetooth headset and watch

The Bluevoice is pretty much an exercise in redundancy. This device is actually the offspring of a Bluetooth headset and a watch. You can wear the Bluevoice as a normal wristwatch or choose to receive weird stares by unclipping and holding it to your ear whenever there is an incoming phone call. The Bluevoice will be released this November at the recommended retail price of $119.95 and $127.95 for the digital and analog models respectively. از این به بعد اقایون هم گوشواره میزنند؟

Samba Integrated Tri Band GSM/GPRS Engine

The Samba from Falcom is an extremely useful device that acts as a wireless EDGE modem for notebooks and UMPCs, allowing you to make or receive calls over the GSM network and send/receive faxes at the same time. Make sure you plug in your SIM card beforehand in order to gain such functionality. Just remember to take out the SIM card and place it back where it really belongs - inside your cellphone so that you won't turn the notebook into your primary calling device. Of course, EDGE surfing speeds are nothing much to shout about so you are better off looking for a WiFi hotspot to do your bit of Web surfing. با ستفاده از این دستگاه میتوانید از سیم کارت برای کانکت شدن به اینترنت یا دریافت فکس یا تلفن بزنید.

صندلی باحال(حس دار)

PlusDeck 2c

You’ve got piles and piles of old cassette tapes gathering dust in your basement. It’s a shame to ignore them, but tape players are hard to come by these days, and you’d want it on your iPod anyway. Instead of buying all this music again on CD or somewhere like the iTunes Music Store, you can use the PlusDeck 2c. The PlusDeck 2c slips into a standard 5.25” drive on your PC. You can simply insert a tape and the included software will convert that old piece of junk into either a MP3 or WAV file. There’s also an option to split the file up, but that’s easier to do in a sound editor like Audacity. You don’t have to stand there and watch over the tape, the PlusDeck 2c takes care of everything, just let it sit. If your tape is 20 minutes long, you can come back in 20 minutes and it’ll be done. یک قفسه پر از نوارهای قدیمی دارید که خاک گرفته اند؟ و در عین حال نمیتونید ازشون دل بکنید؟ ظبط را هم که میتوانید با خودتون اینطرف و آنطرف ببرید. راه حلش ساخته شد! با پلاش دک که ظاهر و اندازه اش شبیه سی دی رام هست میتوانید یک نوار را داخلش بگذارید و همزمان گوش بدهید و به فرمت دلخواه تبدیل کنید و در ام پی3 پلیر به انها گوش بدهید.

Motion-controlled music player

Mution is a revolutionary new user interface that users a video camera to point at symbols on a wall, using motion detection technology to control the music playback. Feedback is provided via sound and speech synthesis where appropriate. A deeper level of control and setting up the Mution is done via a Web-based interface on the device. In essence, you can now design your own user interface and position it where it pleases you most.

Segway Two New Models: The i2 And x2

Segway, everyone’s favorite overpriced personal transporter from the future, has announced two new models: the x2 and i2. There’s a bunch of new features, perhaps the most notable of which is the introduction of LeanSteer™ technology, which allows you to turn right or left by leaning in that direction, in the same fashion that forward/backward control is currently achieved. Current models rely on a handlebar control to turn. Presumably this would make the transporters even easier to maneuver. Another addition is the use of and InfoKey™ controller, essentially a keyless fob that increases security. The i2 has a range of about 24 miles, while the x2 goes only about 12 miles. Why the drop? Well, the x2 is the rugged cousin of the i2, with some serious tires and offroading capabilities. The price of this ruggedness is loss of range.They have not lost any cost however, as the i2 will ding your wallet for $5,000, while the x2 will take a $5,500 bite.

Ron Patrick’s Jet Scooter

Ladies, be careful what you wish for. And if you happen to be Jon Patrick’s better half, you have to be extra careful. See, Jon Patrick is the man who became “Blogfamous” for building a street-legal, jet-engine powered Wolkswagen Beetle. So, when his lady told him she’d like for her scooter to go a little faster than 40mph, his obvious solution was to strap two JFS 100 jet engines he seemed to have lying around.Engines are 50 lbm each so weight is an issue. Will probably use air-start with a carbon fiber tank of compressed air. That saves weight since batteries will then not be needed.Looks cool from the top. Will want to make aluminum housings to go over the engines just like on a DC-9. ”At the moment, his project is just starting out, so the two-wheeled monster is not yet functional, though we have no doubt that we’ll soon be hearing from him again.Come inside for a couple more pictures and some links.

شارژ گوشی به گوشی

توجه:این خبر خیلی داغه این دستگاه واقعا این روزها ضروریه, زمانی که شارژ گوشی وسط صحبت تمام میشود و شارژرهم همراه ندارید. اگر هم داشتید طول میکشید تا شارژ بشه. با این دستگاه کوچک میتوانید از یک گوشی دیگر باطری قرض بگیرید, حتی نیاز نیست که صبر کنید تا شارژ بشه, به محض وصل کردن میتوانید استفاده کنید. هنوز از قیمت, دسترسی و حل فروشش اطلاعاتی نیست.

Man Uses A Nokia Mobile As Wireless Optical Mouse

A while back, we posted about the Loginoki, a mouse that someone had Frankensteined an LCD into. Well, it seems that the Loginoki inspired someone else to ditch the mouse altogether, and use a Nokia 6230i as the mouse itself. Using the phone’s camera and Bluetooth connection, the man wrote some Java code that enables you to use the mobile as a wireless mouse.Right now, it’s only working on his mobile, and the code has not been released. The code is not entirely basic either; here are some features: -Bluetooth connection, no cable -Standard Java code, simple to port to other phones -Selectable buttons on phone for mouse buttons -Normal or Flipped orientation for phone (right way or upside down) -Uses existing Nokia Sync software to transfer data

Light Fingers, per dipingere la notte

Il Light Fingers è un guanto speciale, capace di proiettare 5 fasci di luce di diversi colori simultaneamente. Lo scopo è quello di “vedere la musica”, sfruttando 20 programmi preimpostati. Alimentato a batterie e disponibile per $19,95, è l’ideale per illuminare le vostre serate danzanti... almeno credo.

Non si conoscono ancora il prezzo né la futura disponibilità del prodotto. Trovate altre immagini dalla fonte.

Sony introduces Mylo, a new media device

This little (well, not iPod Nano little) gadget packs some nice features and definitely seems like a step in the right direction for Sony, much better than their old Vaio media device. The media player does MPEG-4, digital audio, and pictures. But it also has a WiFi connection and a QWERTY keyboard, for chatting on Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger (No AIM support, sorry.) Wait, wait, wait! It also works as a wireless Skype phone! And it has an Opera browser. And it can wirelessly stream music to other mylo owners in the area, ala iTunes. Without cellular connectivity, its not going to best a Hiptop, but we love the open standard support. Full Stats and a video review after the jump. The mylo has 1GB of flash memory, backed by a Memory Stick Pro Duo slot. Its screen is a 320 by 240 pixel 2.4-inch LCD. It'll retail for $350 when it hits the shelves in September.

Minimini Phone

In an attempt to contradict the tendency of making cellphones larger and larger devices by each passing year a Taiwanese company released this really tiny phone packed with pretty heavy features. Here's a picture of it after the paragraph:




And another one for looks



:
If you're looking for a small red, black or pink phone that can also acts as an MP3 player with 0.3MP camera, a USB port and an OLED screen, but not bigger than 90.6x33x19.2mm and a weight of only 70g, then this Taiwanese GPLUS AS813 aka minimini is the phone for you.

The World's Most Scratched iPods

So... a custom iPod Painting site hosted a competition to find out who had the most scratched iPod in the world. And the winners are:




Ok... I have no questions about the second iPod, it does look pretty badly scratched, and deserves a new cover, but first one smashed his all iPod so he will now receive a new face for it?

That makes no sense, that iPod Nazi should be reported to the proper authorities, doesn't the RIAA have something to say against this? ;)

Sharp ‘es’ W-Zero3 Gives PDA Phones a Facelift

Japanese mobile company Willcom along with Sharp and Microsoft have launched their second product in the PDA phone series, the “es” W-Zero3 to initially tap the Japanese Market. Where the previous version Sharp’s W_ZERO3 looked more like a PDA, the “es” W-Zero3 is quite conventional and supports the Windows Mobile 5.0 designed for Pocket PC. ‘es’ W-Zero3 comes with a 2.8” VGA screen, Xscale CPU (416 MHz), 128 MB Flash, mini SD expansion, 64 MB of SDRAM, 1.3-mega pixel camera and all this packed in a sleek 56 x 135 x 21mm frame weighing just 175gm. It is also enhanced with a 2nd keyboard which is more user friendly for writing e-mails and texts.Another vivid feature it offers is the optional 1Seg expansion pack for the digital TV. The stylish design and enhanced features in “es”W-Zero3 are quite attractive but still no WiFi, Bluetooth or 3G folks! Moreover, you ought to be in PHS network, which is limited to some area. No doubt, it may not work properly in cars or trains. The form factor is worth appreciation, but while I can live without BT, they still don’t have wireless? That is a big turndown, personally.

HOWTO: Build a Solar Generator Using Auto Parts

No doubt, the demand for solar energy has fired up; however, the high price factor of setting up even a simple photovoltaic panel has thwarted the effort to actually trap the maximum freely available energy. Anyway, affordable solar power might not remain a dream with this ultimate solar generator made out of auto parts. The inexpensive project, undertaken by, none other than, scientists at MIT, aims to deploy the facility to poor countries, that actually require these desperately. Orosz’s solar generator system, first tested in South Africa, uses reflective parabolic troughs to trap solar energy and generate electricity. One can easily build the solar generator in a backyard sans any high technical knowledge. Check out whole coverage presented by Kevin Bullis to bring the mighty sun down and lighten up you life via.

Socket Salvation: E-Rope

If you are as sick as I am, trying to fix those bulky ass AC adapters into those power strips with one or the other socket trying to nudge the other one out, you are going to be glad to know that Chul Min Kang and Sung Hun Lim have gone back to the basics.It has been a while since anyone tried to tamper with the power-sucking, socket overcrowding conventional power strips, which is the reason for my ecstasy on hearing about the E-rope. This IDEA award-winning concept is basically about a modular power strip which can be twisted and turned at will to accommodate those Godzilla sockets. Even Vampire power (power consumed by appliances in standby mode) can be slain by the E-Rope by simply twisting them 90°.E-Rope, as the name suggests can be a rope with a dozen or more power strips joined, shining their trippy blue light all along. It has still to find a manufacturer, which I am sure is not going to be a tough job.

Custom map icons in local business ads

You may already know that Local Business Ads allow you to create an enhanced text ad with photos and icons that will give you greater visibility when potential customers search for your business on Google Maps (see screenshot below). In addition, we'll even show a regular text version of your local business ad when users in your area are searching for your business on Google.com.
To enhance local business ads, we've recently introduced the ability to use your own icon as the marker on the Google Map. The icon is 16 pixels by 16 pixels and is similar to a favicon that you see in your favorite web browser. (We've highlighted the custom map marker icons in red in the screenshot below



.)
To recap, local business ads are priced the same way as standard keyword-targeted ads -- that is, you only pay when a user clicks on the ad to get to your your webpage from Google Maps, Google.com, or one of our partners on the Google search network. You can use local business ads to promote business locations in the US, Canada or the UK. To get started with local business ads, just follow the steps listed here.

True 3D Display

Any sort of technology that uses precisely aligned, intersecting infrared lasers to create small amounts of plasma tends to worry us a little, seeing as plasma is, well, quite hot. That hasn’t stopped the folks at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) from developing a true 3D display using this very technique. The device, on display at SIGGRAPH 2006, is able to produce up to 100 dots per second, which in turn are used to create a true, three dimensional image.

Certainly, at this point the technology is in its infancy, and the images created are primitive. But if anyone remembers monochrome monitors, they’ll understand the potential here. For a video demonstration, come right in.

CD آسيب ديده را خودمان تعمير كنيم

جنس ديسك‌ها از نوعي پلاستيك است. ديسك‌هاي فشرده مانند فلاپي‌ها به لوازم و سطوح مغناطيسي حساس نيستند به طوري كه فلاپي‌ها با يك خراش جزئي اطلاعاتشان از دست مي‌رود، اما اطلاعات روي CDها را تا حدي مي‌توان حفظ كرد.

CDها از نظر فيزيكي براساس قوانين نور كار مي‌كنند، CDدرايوها اما ساختاري براساس سيستم ليزر دارند كه مي‌توانند اطلاعات را خوانده و اطلاعات زماني كه ليزر روي CD متمركز مي‌شود و پرتو به يك نقطه برخورد مي‌كند براساس كد 0 يا 1 تعريف و ذخيره كنند. اين نقاط به شكل منطقي بر روي CD ذخيره نشده‌اند. به طور كلي ذرات غبار و يا اثر انگشت خودمان شايع‌ترين اثرات روي CD است كه مانع راه ليزر مي‌شود، جالب اينكه اثر انگشت به تنهايي اين مشكل را به وجود نمي‌آورد، بلكه روغن طبيعي پوست، به سطح CD مي‌چسبد. به اين ترتيب با طرحي از اثر انگشتمان ليزر در جهتي كه با فقدان اطلاعات مواجه است، هدايت شده و در اين حالت CD عمل نمي‌كند.
در بيشتر موارد عمل نكردن CD به دلايل فوق همچون ذرات غبار بيشتر بر سطح CD و يا اثر انگشت خودمان است كه به راحتي با آب ساده و يا كمي مايع دستشويي مي‌توانيد سطح CD را تميز كنيد و البته لزومي ندارد CDها را در ماشين لباسشويي و يا ظرف‌شويي بشوييم!
تمام كاري كه بايد انجام دهيد اين است كه سطح CD را با يك تكه پارچه مرطوب (كه پرز ندهد) پاك كرده و بعد از اينكه از خشك شدن كامل آن اطمينان حاصل كرديد، دوباره آن را در دستگاه بگذاريد. احتمالا راجع به پاك‌كنندگي شوينده‌هايي از قبيل خميردندان و يا واكس بي‌رنگ و يا... بر روي CD شنيده‌ايد ولي لازم است بدانيد كه هيچ كدام تاثير مناسبي ندارند و بهترين روش براي پاك كردن CDها همان استفاده از وسايل پاك‌كننده مخصوص است. علاوه بر اينها DVDها هم براساس همان قوانين CDها كار مي‌كنند و نسبت به غبار و يا اثر انگشت حساس‌تر هستند و براي تميز كردن مي‌توان از روش‌هاي فوق استفاده كرد البته با حوصله و دقت بيشتر.

Ajax Timeline

This timeline is similar to a Google Map: it imports data from an XML file, so it's easy to visualize temporal information, like the evolution of a company, a person or an event. There is also a step-by-step guide that helps you create a timeline.
The widget was created by Simile (Semantic Interoperability of Metadata and Information in unLike Environments), a group that develops open source tools related to Semantic Web. You can find other interesting tools at their website.

Mozy - Free Remote Backup Tool

Mozy is a remote backup tool for Windows that gives you 2GB space to automatically synchronize your folders online. Mozy encrypts data with 448-bit Blowfish encryption, and transfers them using 128-bit SSL, so it's secure. You can schedule daily or weekly backups or you can let the automatic backup happen (Mozy backups your folders only if the computer is idle for a certain number of minutes, by default - 30 minutes).
If you don't have NTFS as a file system, Mozy can't perform backup for opened files, so you might consider closing all the applications while Mozy backups the files.
My only complaint is about restoring files: you can select the files you want to restore online, but the interface is pretty stiff. You're limited to 5 restores a month and you get the restored files by email. It would be nice if you could manage restoring files using the same local client.

Is Blogger Neglected?

I came across a news from last year that explained Blogger's plans for the future:
"Google is also considering the creation of an enterprise Blogger version, as well as letting users limit access to their blogs by creating private groups, said Biz Stone, Blogger senior specialist.
Although Blogger currently allows users to post text and photos to their blogs via any e-mail program, Google is looking into a tighter integration with Gmail, Stone said.
Although users can password protect their Blogger blogs with third-party software or services, Blogger currently doesn't offer native ways for users to limit access to their blogs. However, Google is mulling over the possibility of adding some native privacy features, such as the ability for users to create private groups and that way control who can view their blogs, Stone said."
Blogger's development seems to have slowed down since it was acquired by Google, and many of the features found in other popular blog platforms (like categories, inline comments, plugins) are not available in Blogger. There are also frequent problems with accessing the site. I wonder what was the real reason for acquiring Blogger: the team or the fact that Blogger is a publishing platform well-suited for AdSense?
This is Google's statement from 2003: "Google recently acquired Pyra Labs, developers of Blogger - a self-service weblog publishing tool used by more than one million people. We're thrilled about the many synergies and future opportunities between our two companies. Blogs are a global self-publishing phenomenon that connect Internet users with dynamic, diverse points of view while also enabling comment and participation. In the coming weeks, we will report additional details. Blogger users can expect to see no immediate changes to the service."
