REDMOND, colada. - Un grupo de académico estará entre la primera gente Microsoft exterior para considerar la esfera, una computadora superficial esférica desarrollada por Microsoft Research.

Esfera-haber formado, computadora del multitouch es similar a la computadora superficial tablero que Microsoft anunció el año pasado después de años en el desarrollo. Esta encarnación, sin embargo, sigue siendo un proyecto dentro de la investigación de Microsoft y la compañía no tiene ningún plan de la corriente para traerla al mercado.

Yey, the Martin Jetpack is out.  It looks like a lot of fun, maybe even more so than hang gliding.

Little is known about the capabilities of this flying machine, though sources familiar with its design say it can fly 100 times longer than previous jetpacks. Historically, 26 seconds has been the endurance of previous technology. This being the case, the Martin Jetpack could potentially be able to fly for as much as 40 minutes at a time on a single tank of gas.

Check out this giant Sea Bream fish robot.  It’s almost real you want to chop it up for some nice stew or sushi.

The fish weighs a whopping 15.4 pounds, but it has a unique propulsion system that lets it move its tail and silently scoot through the water like a real fish. The body is made of silicone and the scales were hand-painted on for realism. And damn did they do a good job.

Here’s a really cool demo of an interactive projector screen or is it Multi-Touch Projector?

The basic idea is really simple: a program running on the PC will process the images viewed from the webcam, find the position of the penlight/light spot, and use this position to deternine where to place the mouse cursor on the screen. Now, if we can assume that the light spot/point is always the brightest object in the area, than the detection algorithm will be very simple: find the location of the pixel with the highest intensity level. We make use of two additional useful facts: 1. a normal pocket touchlights (or any incandescent lamp for that matter) actually emits several times more infrared light than visible light, and so works better as IR point source than a visible light source. 2. most webcam are able not only to detect visible lights (red, green and blue, etc) but they can also detect infrared (IR) lights – for example as emitted by the IR LEDs commonly found on TV/Hifi remote controls – which are invisible to the human eyes. So if we can somehow use the webcam to capture only the infrared lights from our light source and reject the surrounding visible lights, we will be ensured of a very reliable system. An additional feature of this system will be it will work if we replace the torchlight with any IR LEDs.”

The Yankee Stadium security team has recently found sunscreen to be a dangerous lethal weapon.  They are banning all sunscreens from entering the Yankee Stadium.

That’s right folks, make sure to put your sunscreen on your skin before entering the stadium.  If you happen to forget, just be ready for cancer-causing UV rays to enter straight into your pores for 3-4 hours.

Some people have retaliated by suing the city of New York as this new screening process puts most of their dumb citizens (who forget to put sunscreen on beforehand) under risk of skin cancer.

(Nothing is really true in this paragraph, I made some up…)

I think they should really make sure to hire smarter people next time for Stadium security.  Heck, you might as well bann anything liquid at this point, I don’t see how people would bring in C4s packed in sunscreen bottles.

At Yankee Stadium, the security guards confiscating sunscreen. “Five hours in the upper deck with no sunscreen is crazy,” said one upper deck seasons ticket holder. Fans in the bleachers point out in the New York Post that the sun may be a bigger threat than Osama Bin Laden.

Well, it wasn’t too long ago that BAE systems were rumored to work on insect-like robots for the military.  Now, BAE systems have developed Border Patrol Bots that can go under trucks, equipped with sensors, and practically allow travelers to move along faster while increasing security.

I think it’s a good idea I guess, just don’t tell me any of my tax money is going into it.  THEN, I’d have to ask the government to stop doing it as I don’t want to spend money on border patrollization.

With so many people I know are illegal immigrants, well, every person in the U.S. did in fact enter through as an immigrant at some point or another.

Damn, now I have to worry about paying taxes to support the illegal immigrants.

Either way, I don’y have control here.

The robot can … be fitted with heartbeat detectors as well as sensors to identify chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials being smuggled into Britain. News of the device comes only days after a group of stowaways was found after entering the country hidden on Army vehicles.
