Hitachi glasses-free 3D technology lets you view weird chicken things from multiple angles

Posted by on Friday, 30 September, 2011

We might not have chosen the above weird baby chick to pitch our autostereoscopic technology to the world, but at least it makes for some memorable imagery. The hatchling is a 3D image generated by projectors, overlayed on top of a real world object, which can be viewed by multiple people at multiple angles without the need for 3D glasses. Built-in sensors detect the viewer’s positions and adjust the viewing angle accordingly. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this sort of technology — heck, this isn’t even the first time we’ve seen this sort of thing from Hitachi, but the company says it’s continually getting better, with a marked depth resolution improvement over a technology shown off this time last year at CEATEC. The company is looking to implement the technology for both digital signage and entertainment purposes, eventually revolutionizing the way the world looks at 3D baby chickens.

Means To Be Relied On To Track Old Friends

Posted by on Tuesday, 13 September, 2011

Reuniting with former pals and kinfolks is the uppermost concern for most people nowadays. Former girlfriends, schoolmates and relations that have gone missing amongst the most searched individuals. The big question is how the heck do we try to trace them.

What you encounter when trying to find a friend

One of the big problems we face when trying to do a search for a person is the fact that they may have got married or just changed their name. Changing life status makes people even decide to assume new names. It becomes a hassle to trace people when this has happened.For more searches you can make use of links like learning to find someone for free with name and birthday.

Do try to spend a few moments thinking about the person you’re trying to find and try to recall any details you can about their personality, like nicknames, favourite songs, maybe even try to remember a middle name or where they were born and date of birth. If you know this it will also help you with your search.

Where to carry your search

The obvious place to start searching is probably Google. In the Google search bar, key in the names and relevant nickname, you can imagine could help. The big problem here though is that unless they have a particularly high-profile on the internet then they are not going to show up in Google’s results. To see what I mean by this, just try typing your own name into Google. If you are active, you will be displayed with a huge list of similar names, if you aren’t then you wont appear. simply ways to find a friend free.

Anyway back to finding our old friends, if you are not having much success with the name then try adding the name of the town where you think they may live or have worked, and see if this works.

Sites to consider

MySpace and Facebook is one of the social sites you will likely discover that she an account in. It is particularly helpful to search by a person’s nickname at these sites because people do tend to hang on to these for most of their lives. People search services are one of the places to resort to if the above networking sites doesn’t yield the desired outcomes. The majority of these sites charges a fee for a search, and they are capable of finding the name even if they are the same. Check Street Addresses.

Ideum’s MT-55 ‘Platform’ multitouch table goes ultrathin, demands but $18,000

Posted by on Monday, 18 July, 2011

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard from the fine folks at Ideum, but when the image above floated into our inbox… well, it’s safe to say our interest was piqued. We last heard from these guys back in the fall of 2009, and while The Platform is certainly a bit smaller than the 100-inch MT-50 that came before it, it’s also a heck of a lot more practical for average consumers. Well, save for the price. Looking beyond that for a moment, you’ll find a devilishly thin (3-inches) table, complete with 55-inches of 1080p gorgeousness, a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle and support for a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Professional. The internal computer includes a dual-core Core i5 CPU (2.66GHz), 8GB of memory and a 128GB SSD; you’ll also find WiFi, Bluetooth and a slew of “hidden ports.” The entire thing is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, and it supports a total of 32 touch points. We’ll leave it to you to discover what it’ll be used for in your future abode, but if you’ve got the ,950 to take one home, you’ve probably got the brains to figure it out.

The end of an era: what the space shuttle means to Engadget

Posted by on Friday, 8 July, 2011

It’s hard to even believe these words, but they’re true: the last scheduled US space shuttle launch happens today. What started as a frenetic race to another world has ended as program that will forever be remembered for sparking the interest of mere tykes, and if this so-called economy ever gets turned around — heck, maybe we’ll see the hiatus ends. In all likelihood, it’ll be Sir Richard Branson making the next moonwalk, but rather than sit around and mourn the quiet death of the space shuttle, we’d prefer to share a few of our fondest memories here. And by all means, please deliver any final words of your own in comments below.
