Electric eye learns from animal eye!

Lenses cannot project a perfect image on the flat back of a camera, so images are distorted at the edges. A revolutionary camera solves this problem by curving the light detector.

Pronto nuevo sistema operativo… que reemplazará a Windows
clipped from: news.bbc.co.uk
¿Comienza la era post-Windows?
Redacción BBC Mundo
Es difícil imaginarlo, por la predominancia y éxito del programa, pero el sistema operativo Windows, creado por Microsoft, estaría cerca de su fin y Microsoft está preparando un reemplazo: se llama Midori.
Midori buscará eliminar la dependencia del software del hardware en el computador.
El nuevo programa es radicalmente diferente a los anteriores desarrollados por el gigante informático y está centrado en internet.
La compañía inició el proyecto de investigación para crear el nuevo software, que buscará alejarse de la actual dependencia que une a Windows con un computador personal.
Midori es visto como la respuesta de Microsoft al uso de la "virtualización" por sus rivales y una forma de solucionar muchos de los problemas diarios de la computación moderna.

Broadcast Your Own Live Video Channel On Yahoo
Who wants to be famous? Oh of course you do. You’d be lying if you said you didn’t stand in front of the mirror when you were younger with the hairbrush as your microphone mouthing the words to Rick Astley or Shaking Stevens. We all have visions of being a pop star or a TV personality. We all want to be someone better than we really are. That’s human nature.
The good news is that if you have a webcam, a fairly fast internet connection and some spare time on your hands, Yahoo gives you the chance to set up a free live video channel on the net and the ability for others to view your channel.
The end results vary a great deal but hey that’s the beauty of the internet. Everyone on Yahoo Live are amateurs and unprofessional so you’re going to see a mixture of both good and bad which also means you get to see real people, not actors. Think of it as American Idol online.
