DIY-monitor for the paranoid

For some reason, some people very uncomfortable idea that theircomputer can use someone else. Or, rather, that someone other thanthemselves, could see the content that appears on the screen of theirPCs. Of course, the desire for confidentiality, in principle, the normalthing, and it is not surprising that some of the development, such aslaptops with transparent screens are somewhat negative assessment of individuals.




On the other hand, if these people like the idea of ​​displays, which will only be able to use a person with special glasses?

Toshiba will release a powerful 13.3-inch tablet

Toshiba has plans to significantly expand the range of Android-tabletExcite. It will add just three computers built on quad-core Tegra 3 witha range of ports and features. Diagonal of the screen was 7.7, 10.1, and 13.3 inches.




Screens all three tablets coated glass Gorilla Glass. "Pills" has a 5 megapixel camera back and a 2-megapixel camera in front. The RAM is 1 GB. Aluminum housing for all devices, and the work they will be running the latest version of OS Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

Start with a screen reader mirasol on sale

It is finished. Finally, the market has its first gadget with a screen-based technology mirasol. Of course, we expect its appearance a year earlier, but better late than never.

The new coating will get rid of fingerprints on the touch screen

And since we are talking about the touch screen and newtechnologies allow us to solve old problems, I just can not ignore the development of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for PolymerResearch. They managed to create a coating that makes the screen is unresponsive to the bold footsteps of his fingers.





As a basis covering was used by conventional carbon black andsilica. The fact that black has excellent hydrophobic and oleophobicproperties (in other words, repels water and oils), and silicon dioxide useful to keep a layer of soot particles together and allowthem to remove the color by heat treatment.

EPA introduced a new 15.6-inch USB-Monitor

Company AOC released a new monitor E1649fwu with screen sizesof 15.6 inches. This LCD-monitor connects to laptops, using technology DisplayLink, which allows you to send video signal on the USB-bus. Due to this connection to the devices need only one cable, through which the monitor is also supplied.



Stretchable and flexible USB cable

Asahi Kasei Company recently introduced a new type of cable to the public, which has an interesting and very useful feature - if necessary it can be stretched. In addition, the novelty seems to be considerablymore flexible than the existing counterparts. The development is suitable for connecting power supply and data transmission.



The new technology, dubbed Roboden, could revolutionize the production of cables for electronic devices (including USB).Innovation is based on the use of polyurethane elastic yarn"Spandex". The stretch factor Roboden cable is about the same as that of human skin - 1.5.

Internal lighting for book readers Flex Lighting

Paper books are quickly dealt positions, giving way to audiobooks, and electronic versions for book readers. And as a man who lovesreading, I think one of the major shortcomings of the existing book readers (with screen-based electronic ink, or mirasol) the need forextra lighting for reading in the dark. And Flex Lighting offers an elegant solution to this problem.




Novelty is a thin transparent film that could evenly distribute the lightof a pair of LEDs. Thus, we are able to integrate into virtually anylighting display with minimal additional cost of energy.
