E-ink isn’t just for reading anymore. Scientists with BAE Systems are developing technology that would use electronic ink to camouflage tanks.

According to a report in The Telegraph, high-tech sensors would be fixed to the body of the tank that would mirror the vehicle’s surroundings, making it essentially invisible.

“Highly sophisticated electronic sensors attached to the tank’s hull will project images of the surrounding environment back onto the outside of the vehicle enabling it to merge into the landscape and evade attack,” wrote Sean Rayment, The Telegraph‘s defense correspondent. “The electronic camouflage will enable the vehicle to blend into the surrounding countryside in much the same way that a squid uses ink to help as a disguise.”

There be PIRATES in this video.

A technology guru at Intel Corp. predict that the internet will look significantly different in five to 10 years, when much of it will be three dimensional, or 3D.

Sean Koehl, a technology evangelist with Intel Labs, said technology is emerging that will one day change the way we interact with electronic devices and with each other. That could come as soon as five years from now when, he predicted, there will be realistic-looking three-dimensional applications.

I was in shock…

I looked at my web logs (never as often as I should), and saw heavy use of one graphics file.

How could a file load more often than the rest of the page?

I checked further, and found out someone was grabbing the product photo I shot, and using it to sell their own stuff on another site.

Worst part was.. they got a lot more traffic than me. That really hurt!

The cost of the bandwidth was small.. but I felt violated. So I changed the photo on my site, and saved a copy of my logo as the name of the stolen photo.

When I went to the thief’s page.. there was MY LOGO.

Naturally, they changed their photo quickly, and were too smart to try taking mine again.

I resolved to do something about it. I’ve tried watermarks, logos on the photos, and even though about hiring a lawyer. All of those were too time consuming or expensive.

Finally, I found the perfect solution. Hot Link Alarm
