Posted Feb 24th 2008 8:57AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Digital Cameras, Transportation Ever on the lookout for the next step in up in Big Brother policy, there’s a new camera technology being developed in the UK at Loughborough University which can count car occupants by figuring out how much water and blood content there is inside the car. The obvious application is for trimming down those carpool lane offenders, trying to squeeze by the law with a dummy or a pet in the passenger seat. Look, privacy concerns aside, there’s just something awkward about traffic cams tracking quantities of blood and water inside of commuter cars. Do we really want to let the Machines have that kind of inside (literally) information (Read the full post about ‘New camera tech can detect blood and water content in your car. Ew.’…)

Posted Feb 24th 2008 5:05AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Desktops Anybody remember when a gigaflop was a big deal? Oh, how far we’ve come. Researchers are now talking about exascale computing, which means systems that can handle a million trillion calculations per second. To put that in perspective, IBM’s BlueGene/L (pictured), the fastest machine running, has a peak performance of 596 teraflops. A petaflop is 1000 times faster than a teraflop, and an exaflop is 1000 times faster than a petaflop. Yeah, that’s a lot of flops.

If you’re on the lookout for a new computer monitor which will be great for HD media, and or new games consoles, you should take a look at the new Asus MK241H or MK221H LCD monitors. I recently posted about the Samsung 2493HM and 2693HM recommending them as great HD computer monitors, and the new Asus models look just as good. The 24-inch Asus MK241H lcd monitor has a full HD 1080p resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, which is perfect for viewing HD media such as blu-ray content as this is the native 1080p HD resolution. The smaller 22-inch Asus MK221H has a 1680 x 1050 resolution. (Read the full post about ‘Asus MK241H’…)
