TIRED of hearing other people’s cellphone conversations? It may become worse. Soon you may have to watch their favorite television shows and YouTube videos, too, as they project them onto nearby walls or commuter-train seatbacks.
Pint-size digital projectors are in the works. These devices, when plugged into cellphones and portable media players, will let consumers beam video content from their hand-held devices to the closest smooth surface — entertaining themselves, annoying their neighbors and possibly contributing to a new warning sign: No Projectors in This Area. The microprojectors, still in prototype, use light-emitting diodes, lasers or a combination of the two to cast a display of up to 50 or 60 inches, or perhaps even wider, in darkened spaces and 7 to 20 inches or so when there is ambient light.
Digital projectors were once bulky. These new models, though, are small enough to fit into the pocket of consumers who want a big-screen experience from a small-screen device. Some of the models are expected to be on the market by year-end, or sooner.
Prices have yet to be announced. They might start $350, then quickly drop to less than $300.
The projectors may be particularly useful for business presentations — for example, when road warriors need to show a product video to small groups. No coordination would be needed to arrange for a screen. Instead, a patch of wall within a cubicle or restaurant could serve for an impromptu presentation. In a pinch, a manila folder — or even a napkin — would work, too.

Google Earth
Was just checking out stuff, surfing the net, came across a thing called Goggle Earth. Wow I have been every where in the world after that. It is so cool to go to say Egypt and see all the pyramids, or just to even go home to my reserve and see my familys house. Imagine what the gouvernment can see if we are able to see all this. Makes you wonder about it.

Well finally finished our group presentation!
Our group was finally was able to do our presentation...What a relief...was worried we couldn't do it because our power point was kinda large to send. Hoping we do well, thanks to Christian who made it possible to send to the teacher, cause without his computer knowledge we might have had to send it in 4-5 different emails, which would have been abit complicated.

Interesting article
As I open up my women's world magazine...I find a article in there about the dangers lurking in the technology world. It's very interesting to read expecially for people who are not aware of those dangers lurking. The article talks alot about credit card scammers and opening a email message from a hacker, how it will take everything in your computer and ruin it just by opening the email message...crazy!!
