The race is still on for best interface method. I just hope it’s something that doesn’t leave me with Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Chris Harrison is investing how to use our skin as an input device or Skinput. Measuring acoustic differences on the skin surface which can be identified and mapped by a computer, using an arm band and a projector, the system can detect hits or taps on the surface of the arm or fingers and uses these taps as commands to control a computer.

Cold Fusion is the short name for the study of nuclear fusion at or near room temperatures. This hypothetical form of nuclear fusion does not require the extreme temperatures used in current day Nuclear Reactors. It’s a “hot” topic in scientific circles sparking controversy since 1989 when electro-chemists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced they had produced fusion in their lab. Cold Fusion is also called “Low Energy Nuclear Reaction” (LENR) or Condensed Matter Nuclear Science” Opponents and skeptics make arguments based upon initial replication failures and errors. I would say, these errors are simply part of the experimentation process and one should continue until exhausting all attempts, there is always something to learn in the process. Well some of these visionary scientists and inventors refused to give up and have recently been conducting new experiments which raise new questions about Cold Fusion as a commercially viable alternative. I can only think that technology has come a bit further since 1989 and new approaches can be taken into it’s investigation.
David Gallo, a pioneer in ocean exploration presents amazing video of color-shifting cuttlefish and a camouflaged octopus. Their specially designed underwater camera captures the iridescent glows of luminous marine creatures living in the darkest depths of the ocean.
