Here's a cool camera chip that can see in 3D. Instead of devoting the entire sensor for one big representation of the image, Fife's 3-megapixel sensor prototype breaks the scene up into many small, slightly overlapping 16x16-pixel patches called subarrays. Each subarray has its own lens to view the world--thus the term multi-aperture.
Timbot spotted this interesting article about the Large Hadron Collider. Amazingly it says it was printed in March 2008, perhaps due to some pretty cool high-energy physics effect. ;) Starting sometime in the coming months, two beams of particles will race in opposite directions around the tunnel, which forms an underground ring 17 miles in circumference.
A Facebook joke has gone horribly wrong for a Moroccan man pretending to be the King's brother. The court in Casablanca sentenced 27-year-old computer engineer Fouad Mourtada yesterday and fined him 10,000 dinar ($A1400) for "the use of false information and usurping the identity of the prince".
Mad Mike sent in this story about a new 5 gigabit wireless chip developed in Melbourne. The "GiFi" was unveiled today at the Melbourne University-based laboratories of NICTA, the national information and communications technology research centre.
Tweaktown have a guide to installing Linux on your PS3. There was a lot of noise in the beginning of the PS3's marketing-hype-launch that the console would have Linux pre-loaded, but Sony came to their senses when they realized how much more work that was going to be for them. So we are left to figure this one out for ourselves.
OC3D have been playing with triple SLI. Take 3 x XFX 8800 Ultra's, 1 x XFX 780i SLI motherboard, some 3D benchmarks and add a load of games.
AirQ sent in a pile of stories, so here's the headlines: Japan has launched a high-speed internet satellite, a skills shortage threatens Australia's ICT growth, the Sun will destroy the Earth in about 7.6 billion years, ISPs want ADSL2+ via Telstra Wholesale, Justice Kirby has said computer code trumps the law, Pakistan has been removed from the Internet, a cold-boot attack can crack disk encryption and apparently video games aren't a waste of time. Phew!
