MacBook shot by Israeli security officers

1

Quote from victim’s blog:

“Then they asked me to wait. Since they had asked for friends and families phone numbers I assumed they might be calling to verify my answers to questions or confirm I really had extended family in Tel Aviv. An announcement played over the sound system, interrupting my break in the sunshine. First in Hebrew, then Arabic, then in English. It was something along the lines of, “do not to be alarmed by gunshots because the Israeli security needs to blow up suspicious passanger luggage.”

I went inside to check on my bag. I had left it unattended, where they instructed. It was still there so I went back outside.

Moments later a man came outside and introduced himself as the manager on duty. And then, “I’m sorry but we had to blow up your laptop.”"

How CNN’s hologram actually works


“Made possible by technology from SportVu and Vizrt, the setup is quite extensive. The person being projected into CNN’s studio is shot on location by 35 high-def cameras in a ring. The cameras capture the subject’s entire body image and transmit it to the studio, synced with cameras in the studio so the image moves properly. Both infrared as well as visual information are used to ensure the image is properly rendered. Dozens of computers on both sides are needed to process all the data for the system to work.

The result: a full-color 3D representation of a remote correspondent on the studio floor that the host at CNN headquarters can have an apparent face-to-face conversation with. The overall effect puts R2-D2’s projector to shame, although it’s not quite as polished as the holo-communicator on Deep Space Nine.

But what did Cooper actually see? It seems pretty clear from this video that the host in the studio is watching the monitor “behind” the hologram, and that the system isn’t actually projecting a 3D image onto the studio floor. We’re still a number of years too early for that, but recent developments in holographic tech might make that a reality by the time President Obama leaves office”

Robotic plant finds sunlight, scares you and your cat

1

A group of robotic legs have been put together to let your plant move around the room depending on where the sun is. While the picture above might look worse than what it actually is, the fact that a plant could move autonomously around my house is still a scary thought.

Antec Skeleton: Simply the coolest looking PC case

1

This is the perfect case if  you want to keep your PC cool. It’s made of 0.8mm cold rolled steel, it has a front 92mm fan, a top three speed 250mm fan with multicolor LED customization, layered component trays, rackmount quality side rails, 7 expansion slots, and room for 4 drive bays. This thing looks sick!

netbooks & news & technology MAZ on 25 Sep 2008

The netbook frenzy is finally here

1

The top 10 list of “Laptop Computers” over at Amazon is filled with netbooks, the only regular laptop is the MacBook which has been pushed all the way down to 6th after being in the top 3 just a few weeks ago. Who can resist with those low prices and performance that matches my 2 year old $1,200 laptop. It’s going to be an interesting year, some analysts are saying this is the year of the netbooks, I agree.
