Taiwan subsidizes development for Delta’s glasses-free 3D projector and AUO’s flexible AMOLED
November 29, 2010 No Comment
You know the Taiwanese are pretty serious about technology when you see them liberally throwing cash at factories. According to Digitimes , Delta Electronics and AUO are two recent winners for a shared NT$600 million (US$19.6 million) government grant, which will cover 45% of each of their research expenditure — so probably not a fifty-fifty split. If all goes well, Delta will bring out some glasses-free 3D LED projectors that sport high resolution output and wide viewing angle; whereas AUO will take advantage of the recent AMOLED shortage and develop high-res flexible panels. Nice going, folks, just don’t let us catch you all partying on the factory floor with that money.

November 29, 2010 No Comment
The reversal of aging has been one of the great dreams of humanity, but it seems like our rodent overlords have beat us to it. The Harvard Medical School has demonstrated “a dramatic reversal” in the aging process when reintroducing the enzyme telomerase into old and feeble mice. What happened was that their naturally worn out organs started to regenerate, instead of degenerating further, bringing them back to a youthful state of health. Sadly, while the results of this study are hugely important, there are a couple of caveats to make: firstly, the mice in question were genetically modified to suffer from a lack of telomerase, which might have inflated the results of the tests relative to regular mice, but more importantly, an increase in telomerase in humans is “a hallmark of most human cancers.” So, if you want a shot of Benjamin Button brew, you’ll have to be very patient indeed. For now, let’s just be happy that Algernon and his buddies have found their fountain of youth.

You had to know something interesting would come out of the quarter million diplomatic cables that WikiLeaks just, well, leaked late on Sunday, and the New York Times has picked out a doozie for us. As it turns out, that big brouhaha in China surrounding the hacking of Gmail accounts was actually a state-authorized attack. Such was the report from a Chinese informant working for the US embassy, and the disclosure goes on to say that it was part of a “coordinated campaign of computer sabotage,” reaching a wide net of targets, including American government machines, American private businesses, and… the Dalai Lama. Hey, China’s hardly the first country to ever engage in state-sponsored cyber espionage (ahem, Stuxnet), but we can’t say we’re not disappointed. Let’s keep it classy from here on out, alright guys?
