Below The Surface: Microsoft Shifted Samsung LCD Product To Grab Name For New Tablet
Posted by TechCrunch
At the bottom of the page for Microsoft’s new tablet Surface, there is an odd little note: “Looking for the Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft Pixelsense? Visit www.pixelsense.com“. Huh?
It looks like Microsoft’s new Surface tablet is not the first Surface to surface at the company. Before it, there was a large LCD panel, made with Samsung, which could be mounted as a table, or on a wall, that enables people to “share, collaborate and explore together using a large, thin display that recognizes fingers, hands and other objects placed on the screen.” The last update�for the product was released at the beginning of 2011, during the CES show.

IPv6: It’s like having an address for every star in the universe, times 4.3 billion
Posted by VentureBeat
IPv6 is big. Really, really, really big. In fact, much bigger than anything the mere human mind can possibly understand.
But hey, it’s fun to try.
Internet Protocol version 6 is the newest version of the global internet map. The map is how a packet of computer data — like the words you are now reading — find their way from my screen to yours. Slightly more specifically, from some anonymous box in some anonymous server farm, through thousands or tens of thousands of miles of wired or wireless connections, and finally to your computer.
The old version was IPv4, and it has 4.3 billion possible addresses.�That sounds like a lot, until you realize that it’s only about half[...]

Using open source & grassroots to map the world’s radiation data
Posted by Gigaom
Mapping the world’s radiation and air pollution data, using one volunteer with one gadget at a time — that’s the goal of the Safecast project, which this week closed over $100,000 on Kickstarter to deliver a limited run of its open source geiger counters to interested buyers. “I don’t think it’s an unreasonable goal,” to create comprehensive maps of this data from all over the world, says Sean Bonner, co-founder of Safecast, in a phone interview shortly after his team’s project was funded.
Safecast originally focused on mapping radiation data just from Fukushima, Japan, in the wake of the nuclear disaster, and had a larger end goal to map the r[...]
