This is pretty cool. Eventually, we won't need DSLRs to capture the best of possible shots. We'll have post-processing focus ability and all the features of our expensive cameras built into our mobile devices.

Quote from: TFA
Because of their size, smartphone cameras currently don’t have aperture mechanisms. "There is no technology today that can realize an iris aperture for smartphone cameras," said Tobias Deutschmann, physicist at the Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern in Germany and lead-author of the study.

Um. That's gotta be a translation error. That said, the glass sounds really cool.

Does this mean that we would have to replace the drains in Austria with the one's in Australia?

I'm trying to get my engineers to install a little electronic magnetic compass in the buoy system we're developing so we can tell if it's spinning. No point, if magnetic north's gonna be pointing to Indiana.

Don't drink and climb

Know your limits, and please drink acorningly.

(I realize it's an old video, but I only saw it for the first time today)


P.S. A nice youtube embedding tag would go great with the curtains.

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

Excellent. Personal power is one of the keys to sustainable energy production/use in the next decade. (IMHO)

Mobile Solar

I've seen Goalzero stuff at REI recently. I'm intrigued. Good for camping, if you stay in camp. That's always been the obstacle - when do you deploy the panel? if you leave it in your camp for the day while you're out hiking or something there's a good chance it'll walk off. Anyway, interesting.

And can I just say that "Ocean Yuan" is a pretty awesome name? Yes.

Biometric defense system would prevent it from walking off.

That's a possibility, I was thinking a strong electric shock to anyone who touched it without the proper biometrics, though.
