Walls 06/14/2004 05:11 AM
Apparently, the the invisible coat is yesterday's technology, and its inventor is hard at work focusing on building the invisible wall. As with the cloak, this works just by projecting an image onto the wall of what one would see if the wall weren't there. His goal is to make it someone in a room that had no outside windows, could look and see what was going on outside. A simple suggestion: simply installing windows seems like a perfectly reasonable solution in most cases where this situation exists.

SBC, Alltel Ask for Taxpayer Money for
Broadband

SBC, Alltel Ask for Taxpayer Money for
Broadband 03/17/2005 03:43 AM
Correlating hypocrisy: In Pennsylvania, incumbents are really concerned about taxpayers' money being spent without their oversight or on projects that don't benefit every single last citizen in equal measure every day of every week. In Alabama, SBC and Alltel (but not Cox) support Senate Bill 980, which offers a huge gift in the form of reduced taxes--thus an increased reliance on taxpayer dollars to offer services--for those that are willing to build broadband in rural and non-rural counties to the tune of $36.5 million. It would be interesting for a progressive Texas legislator to ask SBC at a hearing why they're willing to take government money on the one hand in one state but decry the use of government money on the other hand in Texas. The cable operators are part of the opposition, says the Arkansas Democrat Gazette: "But opponents--notably cable operators such as Cox Communications and Comcast as well as small, rural telephone companies--say the bill is too open-ended and unfairly provides government subsidies for work they’ve already done without incentives." Exactly the question asked in Pennsylvania. These tax breaks amount to twisting arms to create a monopoly. SBC used the ZIP code argument. A spokesman said, "A year or two ago, Mississippi passed broadband incentives that led to all but 3 percent of its ZIP codes lacking broadband access — and the national average is 6 percent." This argument has been shown elsewhere to be bankrupt. ZIP codes circle areas of citizens; larger areas have fewer ZIP codes. Install the most convenient broadband in that area and you may have met a legal test or a statistical one. But it's forum non conveniens for people who don't life in the limited broadband areas in many of those ZIP codes. As even-handed as I have tried to be about whether municipal broadband makes sense, it's awfully clear that instead of trying to encourage a commercial monopoly to do business in a place they don't want to by offering them negative money (less they spend, but still reducing government revenue), that this $36.5 million potential dollars could be used for large seed projects to build vendor-neutral networks which would allow citizens to subscribe to local ISPs, Earthlink, MSN, SBC, Cox, etc. I think legislators are using the only blunt instruments they have available to them here, even if it doesn't make sense....

An Invisible Hand? - An Unexplained Effect During Solar Eclipses Casts Doubt on General Relativity
http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3104321

“ASSUME nothing” is a good motto in science. Even the humble pendulum may spring a surprise on you. In 1954 Maurice Allais, a French economist who would go on to win, in 1988, the Nobel prize in his subject, decided to observe and record the movements of a pendulum over a period of 30 days. Coincidentally, one of his observations took place during a solar eclipse. When the moon passed in front of the sun, the pendulum unexpectedly started moving a bit faster than it should have done. Since that first observation, the “Allais effect”, as it is now called, has confounded physicists. If the effect is real, it could indicate a hitherto unperceived flaw in General Relativity—the current explanation of how gravity works. That would be a bombshell—and an ironic one, since it was observations taken during a solar eclipse (of the way that light is bent when it passes close to the sun) which established General Relativity in the first place. So attempts to duplicate Dr Allais's observation are important. However, they have had mixed success, leading sceptics to question whether there was anything to be explained. Now Chris Duif, a researcher at the Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands, has reviewed the evidence. According to a paper he has just posted on arXiv.org, an online publication archive, the effect is real, unexplained, and could be linked to another anomaly involving a pair of American spacecraft.

Yahoo Trolls the Invisible Web 03/06/2004 01:56 AM

Yahoo crawls deep into the Web: I'm nervous that this will lead to people found out about that murder conviction in '78.

Yahoo on Tuesday began a systematic effort to draw more content into its searchable database of Web documents, its latest bid to win Web surfers from search rival Google.

The Web portal, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., introduced its Content Acquisition Program designed to index the billions of documents contained in public databases but that are commonly inaccessible to search engines, or what's called the invisible or deep Web.

Searching the Invisible Tabs
http ://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3115131

Tired of wading through thousands -- possibly millions -- of results to your Web searches? How would it be if search engines offered lists of category tabs -- so you could confine your search to relevant Web sites? Too restrictive, too cumbersome (after all, how many categories would there need to be)? Well then, how about invisible tabs -- behind-the-scenes functions that would automatically categorize your query and deliver results within that category? AskJeeves and others already do it to a degree. Example: Test AskJeeves against Google for "pictures of DNA." AskJeeves delivers images; Google offers a list of URLs. "It's not rocket science to see your query and decide that it makes sense to push the invisible image tab for you. But the change it produces, and perceived relevance to me, is dramatic," says SearchEngineWatch.com editor Danny Sullivan. To avoid frustrating searchers by, say, returning shopping lists instead product reviews, the search engine might come back with questions formatted as listings: "What would you like to do? Show me prices for this product from merchants across the Web; Show me product reviews from across the Web; Show me general matching content from across the Web."

Since HG Wells first published his lauded exploration of racial identity, Invisible Man, people have been entranced by the myth of invisible men--be they heroes such as Invisible Woman of the Fantastic four, or villains such as Hollow Man's Sebastian Caine. But is it truly a myth, or do invisible men walk among us? And if an invisible man were to be created, how would we detect him and track his movements?

Release 03/12/2003 02:52 AM
IIP 1.1.0 (stable) is released. In this version the installation for Unix is enhanced, entropy generation is improved and a few bugs are fixed. See the CHANGELOG file for the full list. Although this is not a mandatory upgrade, you are advised to update anyway. The installation can be done on top of the previous version, but you will have to shut IIP down first to release locked files. Public relays should use the new node.ref, it contains more stable nodes. We hope you enjoy the newest release, and please report bugs and suggestions to iip@invisiblenet.net, or on the IIP mailing list. Download IIP: http://www.invisiblenet.net/iip/downloadMain.php

Fujitsu's Invisible Cameraphone
Hyperlinks

Fujitsu's Invisible Cameraphone
Hyperlinks 07/05/2004 10:47 AM

Fujitsu has developed a method for invisibly embedding information into printed images as small as a centimeter square. By printing a series of (hopefully) imperceptible yellow dots into an image, up to 12 digits of numeric information can be hidden, allowing a company to embed a phone number or encoded URL. Then, by taking a picture of the image with a cameraphone or PDA, special software can decode the numbers and call the company's phone number or look up their webpage. It's just in a proof-of-concept stage at the moment, but if they can jam a few more bits of data, like say a full character set instead of numbers, it could be a handy technology.

But if it's invisible, how will anyone know it's there? They'll have to make a little logo to indicate it somehow, and then it's not any better than any of the other visual hyperlinking systems out there.
