Fiber Optics Turn Eyeglasses Into Movie Screen

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

An Israeli firm has developed fiber optic technology that can project images on eyeglasses. The image matches that of a 70-inch television screen viewed from 10 feet away.

According to the company, Lumus Ltd., “Image you’re sitting in a meeting and you want to read an e-mail … you just click a button and you start reading away while you’re looking attentively at the person who’s giving the presentation.” I suppose you could just as easily be surfing porn without anyone noticing either:)

The company claims that products could be on the market next year. That would be very interesting.

Amazon going DRM free?

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

Apparently, there are rumors that Amazon is going to open a DRM-free MP3 music store in Q1′07. That would be awesome! Hopefully, they will provide an open enough web interface for Songbird to connect to. I’ll definitely be looking to write a Songbird Amazon extension if this happens.

Christian Themed Real-Time Strategy Game

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Here is a Christian themed, Real-Time strategy game called “Left Behind, Eternal Forces”. Troy Lyndon, CEO, says that the game “perpetuates prayer and worship and that there is no killing in the name of God.”

Troy goes on to say that “There is killing of course, it is a video game. But the basis of the game is spiritual welfare.”

Hmmm. I think I’ll stick to family friendly games like GTA:)

Snocap MyStore on MySpace

Sunday, December 10th, 2006

I ran across a Snocap MyStore on MySpace. The MyStore allows you toshare stores by copying HTML code from the MyStore on one site intoanother. Pretty cool. It’d be nice to be able to search and browse alist of all MyStores.

I just viewed my blog post. This is really cool! I’m pretty excitedby the potential of Snocap. I’d like to write a Songbird extension forit.
