We use them every day to do so many things and quite frankly, I don't know how I got along without one back in the olden days (that's the '70s in case you were wondering). Their complexity makes all the things they do possible but it's also that same complexity that can be the source of a great deal of frustration. Everything on a computer must work and work well together. If something malfunctions, you're going to know it pretty much right away. http://www.physorg.com/news166293494.html Technology Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:30:01 EST news166293494 (PhysOrg.com) -- You could turn your holiday snaps or favourite figurines into three-dimensional images with new free software developed by a researcher from Queensland University of Technology and the Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID), based at QUT. http://www.physorg.com/news166347730.html Technology Thu, 09 Jul 2009 08:43:26 EST news166347730 Anyone who takes underwater photos knows how challenging it is to navigate in the water while holding a camera.

The denser you pack, the quicker it spoils. The 10 to 100 gigabits of data per square inch on today`s memory cards has an estimated life expectancy of only 10 to 30 years. And the electronics industry needs much greater data densities for tomorrow`s iPods, smart phones, and other devices. http://www.physorg.com/news162061022.html Nanotechnology Wed, 20 May 2009 17:57:41 EST news162061022 (PhysOrg.com) -- A clever materials science technique that uses a silicon crystal as a sort of nanoscale vise to squeeze another crystal into a more useful shape may launch a new class of electronic devices that remember their last state even after power is turned off. Computers that could switch on instantly without the time-consuming process of `booting` an operating system is just one of the possibilities, according to a new paper by a team of researchers spanning four universities, two federal laboratories and three corporate labs.* http://www.physorg.com/news160838773.html Nanotechnology Wed, 06 May 2009 14:26:48 EST news160838773 Intuit is offering iPhone owners free Quicken software designed to help them live within their means during these tough economic times. http://www.physorg.com/news160375460.html Technology Fri, 01 May 2009 05:44:45 EST news160375460 If you tend to forget or neglect to move photo treasures from your digital camera to your computer, an Eye-Fi card should interest you.
