Many displays serve as just just reflections of what the computer projects. However, it would be cool to have a display that see’s what you are looking at and then augments the display. Such Virtual Reality (VR)displays are just being created and though all the attention has been given to Google glass, there are several companies and groups that have been working on such displays. One memorable one has been the work that is being created through a startup called “Meta” which is building a computerized display that has a camera mounted in its display so works very well for augmented reality applications. See the link below for more information.

Ports on the internet
Computers and devices connect to each other through physical connections – these are the hardware ports such as Ethernet port. They also connect to each other through wireless ports. Now “computers” could mean phones, devices, sensors or anything that needs to talk to other devices/computers. These ports enable the computers to talk to each other…
Discoveries and Publicity

Why do we blink? It is more than what you think
We blink about 10-40 times per minute. Almost all mammals blink and the rate is variable. For humans, the conventional mechanical explanation given for blinking is that we need to moisten our eyes, clean the debris from the eye and refresh the eyes. Obviously, having a eyelid in front of the eye can also prevent…
Warheads and Confidentiality
Key by usinlife on Sketchfab This article is more to do with confidentiality than warheads. There is a proof in cryptography called zero knowledge proof which states that it is possible to confirm a statement from one party by another party without doing a measurement.

Simplicity in microfluidics – Slip Chip. Enabling mobile diagnostics.
Microfluidics involves complicated design and mechanics of fluid motion. Microfluidics enables many reactions to take place in miniscule volumes. This enables efficiency as well as minitiaturization with the consequential advantage of speed and low waste of reagents. However, one persistent problem has been the pumps that are required to pump liquid through these minor chambers….
