Some researchers at Northwestern University and University of Illinois have managed to build an eye-like camera that’s actually shaped like an eye. Sure, that sounds a tad unimpressive, but the real contribution of this project is the idea of electronics on a curved, flexible surface. The researchers have developed a mesh-like material that carries the photodetectors and electronic components necessary, and they say the resulting camera has a better field of vision than a traditional camera, in addition to conveniently resembling a human eye. Of course, they’re a long ways away from communicating with the brain well enough to make an actual fully bionic eyeball, but the curved electronics could have other medical — and regular form factor-busting, we hope — applications as well.

Thor Shield ensures you can’t tase me, bro!From: fulgore.net Post Date: 2008-02-09 18:53:13 Filed under: Wearables
So Point Blank Solutions, Inc. and G² Consulting apparently went right ahead despite the existing patent app and came up with an anti-Taser material called Thor Shield, which weighs two ounces per square foot and can be integrated into anything from a flak jacket to gloves (pictured) to a standard issue t-shirt. We totally can’t wait to wear our hilarious / ironic Thor Shielded Threadless shirts to the next G8 summit, yo.

So we just got off the phone with Dell’s reps, and they told us that Dell remains committed to AMD — which has been their message for most of the day, following the graphic above popping up yesterday on Dell.com that said AMD machines were only available at retail. That’s still pretty murky, so we pressed a little harder and got some more details:

... more  Polaroid no longer does PolaroidsFrom: fulgore.net Post Date: 2008-02-09 18:53:01 Filed under: Digital Cameras
Well doesn’t OutKast look silly now. The brand synonymous with instant film is killing off the Polaroid film format and attempting to reinvent the brand so it “lives on for the next 30 to 40 years.” In the short term that means closing factories in Massachusetts, Mexico and the Netherlands, cutting 450 jobs, and breaking the hearts of hipster-photographers the world over. Obviously the concept of Polaroids was never going to be much more than... more  Factory-fresh ASUS Eee PC vulnerable to hackersFrom: fulgore.net Post Date: 2008-02-09 18:52:42 Filed under: Laptops
Everybody’s ritual when they get a new computer is different: some people start installing their favorite programs, some people set their desktop picture to Pushing Daisies (not us, other people… who aren’t us), and others check for vulnerable processes that might allow hackers to gain root access. RISE Security falls into that latter category, and spotted a vulnerable version of Samba on a virgin Xandros Eee PC. They ran a pre-built exploit ... more
