Say what, an Instagram cam?

Say what, an Instagram cam?

Tis’ true my friends, hipsters and photographers of the world, soon we will be able to use a tiny camera that mimics the photo-sharing social sites logo and of course in retro style it will be a Polaroid instant camera. Although the only resemblance to the Polaroid will be the insta-picture since this is 2012 and we like things a little more digitized. There will be a screen to view the picture prior to taking the shot yet the Polaroid picture will look like it is seen on Instagram with your instagram name and avatar and enabling you the ability to add a personal touch at the bottom (put your permanent…

The keyboard that loves to be washed

The keyboard that loves to be washed

As we sit in front of our computers, below our resting fingers is a cesspool of germs. Our keyboards collect everything our hands touch, collects food debris and any dust that is within the air. We don’t like to think of it often, well, until we are about to touch a public computer, then we might think twice. Even though we may take a wipe to it now and again, is it really enough to say that it is clean? …

Take those old records off the shelf and put them on your wall

There is nothing like vinyl, the way it would slide out of the cardboard sleeve and glisten from the light onto the blackness of a record. Music was made with circular lines that with a stylist would belt out your favorite tunes. Since technology has made our formats of music players smaller and has improved how quickly we can receive music we miss out on the process of finding a gem, nothing will beat walking into a record store and finding the treasure to add to your collection.

Is DNA coding your data the future of stored information?

Is DNA coding your data the future of stored information?

Recently on Spectrum, Scientists from Harvard University have successfully converted a 53,000 word book into a single strand of DNA. The success of the conversion will allow data to be stored in the guise of a DNA strand; DNA can hold more information per cubic millimeter than certain flash memory technology. Scientists claim that the cycle of conversion, from coding to decoding, would prove to be an expensive process initially but those needing a large quantity of data might find the means to make this technology more affordable in the future. Imagine. Universities around the globe can store…

A robot for your smartphone? Your wish has been granted.

A robot for your smartphone? Your wish has been granted.

Robots are ultra-cool, something we have wanted since long before Rosey the maid from the Jetsons. Technology has allowed us to turn ideas into reality but the robots that have been created are either too expensive or have brutally failed. Our smartphones have almost become our robotic limb, a gadget that we cannot live without; in fact we have chosen to become heavily reliant on this multipurpose tech. So, it would be super awesome if we could turn or smartphones into robots right? Yep. …

Femto-photography: one trillion frames per second

What is femto-photography? According to Ramesh Raskar, it’s “a new imaging technique so fast that it creates slow motion video of light in motion.” His team at MIT developed the technology that can actually allow for cameras to see around corners or into objects without X-rays. The femto camera used in the demonstration is no ordinary camera, of course. It has a time resolution of 2 picoseconds, fast enough to see light travel 0.6 millimeters. It’s the type of technology that goes beyond what most perceive as possible. Here’s his TED video: …
