Making walls invisible with augmented reality
Carnegie Mellon’s Dr. Yaser Sheikh has developed a prototype augmented reality (AR) system that combines images from two or more cameras to allow drivers, for instance, to see around blind corners by making intervening structures “invisible.” In the simplest case, the image from a camera on the blind side of an obstacle is mapped, with appropriate foreshortening and in real time, onto the visible surface of the obstacle in the display from a camera at the user’s position

Astraware Casino for Android Review
I reviewed Astraware Casino for Symbian a few months ago, and now it has been released for Android! At the time, this is what I thought of AW Casino : Overall, AW Casino is a great addition to any phone; it offers you a huge selection of games to pass the time, is great for learning the basics of casino games, and is generally very entertaining. If you have a Symbian S60 phone, it’s definitely worth trying. Does the Android version live up to it’s Symbian cousin?

StarTech Helps You Turn Your Laptop into a Portable KVM Console
If you’re a hardcore IT guy (or gal), you know the drill: something goes wrong in the server room, and you grab your “crash cart,” wheel it on in there, jack it in, and fix whatever-it-is (preferably before users start yowling at you). Better than the olden days, but lugging around a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse on a crash cart is kind of a pain, even so. StarTech has a possible solution for you. Their new KVM USB 2.0 adapter allows you to turn your laptop into a portable KVM/Server console to give you access to the headless devices in your purview. No crash cart-full of equipment; just your laptop and this here adapter. Definitely easier on your back than bumping a cart of equipment over door jambs. The StarTech.com’s NOTECONS01 Portable Laptop KVM USB 2.0 Adapter has an MSRP of $469.99 (although resellers will probably offer it for less, so you might want to shop around.)

POP vs IMAP: The difference? Anyone?
If you’ve kept up with mobile technology in 2010, there’s no way you haven’t accessed your email via the web. Even for just a peek. On a friend’s phone… At dinner… While they were in the bathroom.

The dream?

Hacking a Digital Bathroom Scale
Micah Dowty is at it again, only this time he is hacking a digital bathroom scale rather than a sewing machine . Rather than taking the ‘easy’ route of just using the original electronics, and decoding what it output to the LCD display, he took the time to reverse engineer the analog components of the scale so that they could be interfaced directly. Nice project, and a fun read if you are interested in the process of reverse engineering things.
