PixelOptics emPower! Electronically controlled eyeglasses!
For all those who have worn eye glasses for the better part of their lives! This could be the biggest breakthrough since the creation of prescription eye wear. PixelOptics is demoing what it claims is the most significant development in prescription eyewear in 50 years: emPower! PixelOptics' glasses offer up better field of view and less distortion than traditional lenses by sandwiching an LCD-like layer in the glass that can be focused with an electrical charge. The set's inbuilt micro-machine accelerometer detects when you tip your head down -- when you read, for example -- and triggers the glasses' focal area for presbyopia. The emPower! lens can also be set to manual and is then activated by a swipe of your finger on the frame.Hit read more for details.

That paradigm seems to be changing now, with the emergence of the immense potential of the smartphone computing paradigm running on ARM architecture rather than the x86 that the big boys use. This opens a new market for Microsoft to take over, a market that it has been late to identify, giving competitors a head start. Intel on the other hand is'nt the leader in ARM chips. This new shift in the paradigm is extremely important for the market as a whole and the consumer in particular as new companies will be able to stand on equal footing while the big boys get their act together.

Biting winters driven by global warming - even colder winters to come in Asia!
Counter-intuitive but true, say scientists: a string of freezing European winters scattered over the last decade has been driven in large part by global warming.
The culprit, according to a new study, is the Arctic's receding surface ice, which at current rates of decline could to disappear entirely during summer months by century's end. The mechanism uncovered triples the chances that future winters in Europe and north Asia will be similarly inclement, the study reports. Hit read more for details.
