Fujitsu's Fabric PC concept. See more computer pictures. Imagine walking to school or work with a brand-new type of laptop computer in hand. You walk casually, swinging the laptop back and forth between your arms, which is easy, since it weighs well under one pound (0.45 kg) and isn't much thicker than a checkbook. Although it has no carrying case, you hardly blink after dropping it onto the concrete sidewalk. Instead you pick it up, dust it off, and continue on your way. When you arrive at your desk, you toss the laptop down on the table and open it up. The screen immediately unfolds, spreading out into an enormous display! While this scenario sounds very futuristic, it actually isn't that far from reality, thanks in part to a concept design called a Fabric PC (personal computer), produced by Fujistu, Inc. Amazingly, a Fabric PC won't be encased within a tough metal shell like the PCs that have been around up to this point.
Over the years, hundreds of PEZ dispensers have featured a wide variety of characters, including Bugs Bunny, Peanuts and Flintstones characters, superheroes like Batman and Spider-Man, Star Wars figures, animals and Santa Claus. But only a few have ever depicted real humans. What's a food desert? How does Pop Rocks candy work? Shields, Michael. "Bidder Snags William and Kate Pez for $13,000." Reuters. Balz, Douglas.

It appears that the venerable wheeled mouse is in danger of extinction. The now-preferred device for pointing. Clicking is the optical mouse. Developed by Agilent Technologies and introduced to the world in late 1999, the optical mouse actually uses a tiny camera to take 1,500 pictures every second. Able to work on almost any surface, the mouse has a small, red light-emitting diode (LED) that bounces light off that surface onto a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. The DSP, operating at 18 MIPS (million instructions per second), is able to detect patterns in the images and see how those patterns have moved since the previous image. Based on the change in patterns over a sequence of images, the DSP determines how far the mouse has moved and sends the corresponding coordinates to the computer. The computer moves the cursor on the screen based on the coordinates received from the mouse. This happens hundreds of times each second, making the cursor appear to move very smoothly.
An electronic cigarette doesn't rely on this process of combustion. Instead, it heats a nicotine liquid and converts the liquid to a vapor, or mist, that the user inhales. Depending on the e-cigarette, the user may simply inhale from the cartridge to begin the vaporization process, though some devices have a manual switch that activates the vaporizer inside. The charged battery is connected to the vaporization chamber, a hollow tube that contains electronic controls and an atomizer -- the component that creates the vapor. Before the user activates the device, he or she attaches a cartridge containing nicotine liquid to the vaporization chamber. The tip of the cartridge serves as the e-cigarette's mouthpiece. E-cigarette users inhale the way they would with a regular cigarette. This inhalation activates the atomizer to heat the liquid in the cartridge and convert the liquid to a vapor. Inhaling this vapor through the mouthpiece delivers nicotine to the lungs, and the user exhales vapor that looks much like a cloud of cigarette smoke.|A patent gives you legal protection against infringement on your ideas and inventions. Before you can claim your own, however, you'll need to determine what's already been patented. Have you ever had an idea for some gadget to make life easier. Wondered if it had been invented yet? Ever thought about selling your invention. Needed to know if someone already beat you to it? One way to find these answers is to look for patents on similar gadgets. Determine whether your invention is unique. Others may still try to take credit for and profit from the invention, but the patent gives the grantee the option to take legal action against those who do. In the U.S., patents are approved and managed by the Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), part of the Department of Commerce. For more on patents themselves, see our article How Patents Work. However, this isn't as easy as entering a few keywords into a Web search engine. The USPTO patent database alone is massive, and an international search could be overwhelming.
DVD remastering runs into the same problems. There are viewers who feel that film restoration can go too far, taking away the imperfections of the filmed image that make it unique and alive. What are the differences between mastering and remastering? What tools are used to remaster CDs and DVDs? What do consumers say about the finished product? Read on to find out more. What are the differences between remastering and mastering? Consumers often buy remastered CDs or DVDs that feature classic movies or albums. Every record, CD and MP3 has to be mastered before it's distributed to the public. The master is the final, definitive version of each track that will be copied and printed on millions of CDs and downloaded from Web sites like iTunes. A master is created by a mastering engineer, a special breed of audio engineer who works in a dedicated mastering studio. Mastering engineers are different than studio recording engineers.|After a reportedly foiled plot in August 2006 to blow up 10 airplanes departing Britain for the United States using liquid explosives, the United States started confiscating all liquids and gels in carry-on baggage. In an announcement a month later that has frequent travelers breathing a partial sigh of relief, airports lifted the complete ban on all liquid substances. Now, each traveller is allowed to carry on as many 3-ounce containers of liquids he or she can squeeze into a quart-size plastic bag, as well as liquids purchased in the secure terminal area. While this certainly eases the burden on potentially dehydrated fliers everywhere, it also raises at least a couple of questions. First, although the FBI has determined that the amount of liquid explosives that could fit in a quart-size bag is not enough to blow up a plane, terrorists seem to work in teams, so isn't the amount of liquid carried by each individual passenger beside the point? And second, isn't there a more high-tech way to do this?
The targets now are becoming much more high-profile. In the U.S. alone since April, prominent companies like Colonial Pipeline, JBS Foods, the NBA and Cox Media Group have all been hit. Hackers typically access networks through phishing attacks, which are emails sent to employees tricking them into giving up passwords or clicking on malicious links that will download the malware onto the company network. Ransomware also looks for other entries into company networks via passwords that are easily cracked, like 123qwe for instance. Fears of a gasoline shortage from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline in May led to panic buying and hoarding among U.S. East Coast. Colonial paid $4.4 million in bitcoin to get the pipeline back online. Hulquist explains it like this: Originally ransomware was mostly automated and targeted small systems. It looked for vulnerable passwords, open networks, easy entryways. Bitcoin, he says, offered a good platform for transferring that money. That's exactly what happened in Leeds.
