USAF’s Ultrawideband Laser Networks

The US Air Force is not only experimenting with lasers to kill missiles. They are now using them to transmit data from planes and drones, at 22 miles and enabling quantum encryption. They did it with adaptive optics: https://gizmodo.com/boeing-airborne-laser-weapon-fires-for-the-first-time-5100377 When you transmit information through turbulence—motion in the atmosphere caused by turbulent cells or “wind”—it’s distorted…

The 8-Bit Barbecue

Being a secret Susan Kare fanboy, I like this 8-bit barbecue. But I want my steaks to be 64-bits, thank you very much. And if I’m eating with the rest of the Giz gluttons, it has to be multi-core. The Barbeque is part of the No Screw No Glue line by designers Joost van Bleiswijk…

Great News: No All-New 3D Star Wars

The rumor is that the greedy all-you-can-sell-and-eat alien entity known in Earth as George Lucas was preparing a new trilogy, all filmed in 3D digital.
