  1. Ha, I know! I saw that this morning! IBM missed out and Oracle is buying up everything. I was on a project made up completely (just about anyways) of BEA's SOA suite of web apps (and Sun T200s with Solaris 10 SPARC, what a coincidence) when Oracle bought BEA. I read it here $7.4B ($9.50/share) With Cisco buying into the server market, there's are going to be superpowers fighting each other to take over everything.
  2. not so much "manipulation" as "taken out of context"...it was in your original post
  3. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24785363-23109,00.html Dreams 'could be shown on computers' From correspondents in Tokyo Agence France-Presse December 11, 2008 03:04pm A JAPANESE research team says it has created a technology that could eventually display dreams or what people have on their minds on a computer screen. Researchers at the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories succeeded in processing and displaying images directly from the human brain, they said in a study unveiled ahead of publication in the US magazine Neuron. While the team for now has managed to reproduce only simple images from the brain, they said the technology could eventually be used to figure out dreams and other secrets inside people's minds. "It was the first time in the world that it was possible to visualise what people see directly from the brain activity," the private institute said. "By applying this technology, it may become possible to record and replay subjective images that people perceive like dreams." When people look at an object, the eye's retina recognises an image that is converted into electrical signals which go into the brain's visual cortex. The team, led by chief researcher Yukiyasu Kamitani, succeeded in catching the signals and then reconstructing what people see. In their experiment, the researchers showed people the six letters in the word "neuron"and then succeeded in reconstructing the letters on a computer screen by measuring their brain activity. The team said that it first figured out people's individual brain patterns by showing them some 400 different still images.

  11. http://www.weirdasianews.com/2009/03/31/japans-indoor-beach-surf/ The world’s one and only indoor beach can be found in Japan’s Ocean Dome about 1,200 miles south of Tokyo in Miyazaki, on Japan’s southernmost Kyushu Island. Here, the water is always blue and salt-free, waves are perfectly timed, sharks are elsewhere, and its never too hot, or cold, to take a dip. Japan’s Ocean Dome even has its own marble sand and a volcano that spits fake flames every hour, on the hour. Shores are sanitized; permitting surfers to drip-dry in the perfect climate, which never varies, day and night, every day of the year. The Ocean Dome also boasts the world’s largest retractable roof. The beach sits inside a vast dome that measures 300 x 100 meters (984 feet x 328 feet). The heated ocean sends 13,500 tons of salt-free water sweeping across 600 tons of polished marble chips that comprise a long shoreline. The world’s largest artificial sea washes over the world’s biggest indoor beach, fringed with artificial fish and fauna. Bogus parrots ruffle their feathers and squawk at tourists from the rainforest that has no rain. There are no bugs here or sun burns either. But like most things in life, entrance into this paradise costs. Visitors pay with payment tokens that are computer-coded plastic tags. Admission runs about US $50 for adults, with rides running $5-10 more. Add $10 more for two hours with a boogie board, or $5 for two hours of inner tube rental. Visitors are offered many diversions in the form of shopping centers tennis courts and golf courses. On the other side of the beach is the plastic rainforest, where guests can travel among holographic sea pirates, demons and dinosaurs. Who could ask for anything more?
  12. I'm sorry My prayers are with you and your family
