180-Inch 3D LED Wall is First Step To Scaring Time Travelers From 1985 [LED Wall]

Tuesday 2 December 2008 @ 10:00 pm

Imagine one-upping Adam Frucci by posing with a 180-inch screen… only it’s 3D! NewSight could give you a chance with their new gargantuan 3D video wall. Sadly, it uses LEDs for pixels, making the resolution all Monet-like. Unlike Panasonic’s behemoth, Newsight’s 3D Wall would never enter some trajillionaire’s AV room. However, you will probably see it in Times Square one day, especially given its ability to combine with three other displays to make a 360-inch monster

Getting OpenID Into the Browser (David Recordon/O’Reilly Radar)

Tuesday 2 December 2008 @ 9:55 pm

David Recordon / O’Reilly Radar : Getting OpenID Into the Browser   —  Google Chrome did a smart thing: Less.  They unified the search box and address bar, since that’s what people do anyway.  That gives us back precious pixels for the only thing that’s as important to an average web user as where they’re going: Who they are.

Tuesday 2 December 2008 @ 8:39 pm

The last Iomega eGo drives we saw were notably sleek , but the company’s going back to a more bruiser image with the newest in the series — the Encrypt and BlackBelt once again feature that rubber PowerGrip that cushions the case against impact. As you might expect, the $150 Encrypt features hardware-based 128-bit AES encryption that pops up when the drive is connected to a Windows PC to protect your 320GB of precious memories, while the $120 BlackBelt drops the fancy-pants crypto and just murders out 250GB of storage with a double-black finish and little rubber spikeys. That ought to scare the bad guys away, right? Available now, with the usual assortment of backup utilities you’ll just delete anyway.

Enhanced Photos Can Bypass Any Face-Recognition Software [Face]

Tuesday 2 December 2008 @ 7:00 pm

BKIS, a Vietnamese security center, recently demonstrated that face-recognition security programs found in Toshiba, Asus and Lenovo laptops can be bypassed with a special photo. To enroll in the face recognition software, the built-in webcam on the laptop scans the face for prime areas, such as the eyes or more conspicuous facial features. The special photo, which does not have to be of high quality, is processed so that the key areas are enhanced and the contrast levels are adjusted to the expectations of the software. Dong Ngo of CNET recently underwent a Skype demonstration with a BKIS technician. The technican then captured a photo of Ngo’s face, and produced a special “unflattering” photo five minutes later using a special algorithm
