 Its about time we can project images into thin air! I've been wondering who was slacking on their job when it came to developing true freespace 3D displays.
Known as "Holograms" in the movies but not technically holograms, the images these display devices produce hang in mid-air, otherwise known as "freespace". Along with one display that produces a "volumetric" image which actually takes up a volume of space! Meaning its really 3D, having length, width and height. Soon we will be bragging, "yeah my new display can do 10240 x 10240 x 10240 resolution.." |

 I lack a certain sense of tactfulness when I speak sometimes, so I will open up with a sentence from the LifeGem website. "LifeGem is a certified, High-Quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life." In other words.. they took the term "Family Jewels" to a whole new level.
No it's not a joke. They pretty much extract the carbon from the departed person's ashes (after cremation, unless maybe they were hit by martian heat rays?) then they use that carbon in a special process involving lots of heat and pressure which creates an artificial but real diamond.
What you end up with is a sweet looking rock that is part of your loved one, or... your pet. Thats right they also do pets! Now you can head to the backyard, dig up fluffy the hampster and have him made into something useful! Imagine the look on your fiancee's face when you give her that gem and then tell her where it came from! ( Make sure to tell her while shes drinking a glass of milk )

 We are hardcore geeks here at TechAbsorbed and we take our technology seriously, especially when it determines whether our website is up or down. Now if we could, we would run our very own NOC and custom webservers, but until we can grow bandwidth on a tiny tree or learn how to make gold from common household items; we will need a quality webhost.

Unexpected Events

Apparently a South Korean man has died after 50 hours of non-stop
gaming. The authorities believe it was a heart-attack due to "over-exhaustion".
I believe he was probably addicted to Everquest and someone stole his rune sword
+536 of destruction which took two years to obtain. That then brought on the
heart-attack.

Say hello to the smallest Linux computer in the world. It's called the "Picotux 100", and it's only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector.
Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud. Five additional lines can be used for either general input/output or serial handshaking..

 My mom used to always say " Don't sit too close to the TV, your eyes will melt". Okay she didn't say it exactly like that, but hey this company VisBox seems to throw those rules completely out the window.
On the VisBox site they have pictures of people standing approx 1 foot in front of their 3D Stereo Displays. It just does not look safe. I mean yeah I can do that at home, but I think my eyes will melt right? No seriously though their technology does look interesting. Apparently its very interesting to the guys in their photographs, I mean look at how close they are standing to the displays. =D |

 We all get that "Need for Speed" occasionally. Well finally someone decided to go out and do something to satisfy that monumental urge! On the showcase of all things crazy, Ebay, we found a Toyota MR2 powered with twin GE T-58 turbine engines! This guy even customized the dash ( now a cockpit ) with all necessary meters, gauges and what not. Since the Ebay link will eventually go defunct we have for you here some pictures and videos to download provided by the man who made the car. |

 Sounds like a joke, but as far as I can tell its a real news story all over the net.
US Scientists have succeeded in reviving canines to life after three hours of clinical death. This supposedly paves the way for trials on humans within years. |

The site has moved successfully to a dedicated server hosted by NetNation ! Though I did create some kind of problem with the RSS news feeds in the Sweet Deals. Hence the Sweet Deals section will be down for a bit, but back very soon =] Thanks!
