This is a photo from the Inauguration of Barak Obama, In which you can see IN FOCUS, more or less, the face of each individual in the crowd. Lorks oh lordy!
You can scan, double click and zoom to any section of the crowd. . . wait a few seconds. . . and the focus adjusts.
We have it on no less an authority than Mark, our turn it off and turn it on again man, that the picture was taken with a robotic camera at 1,474 megapixels (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera). He's frightfully clever with widgets and whatnots so we expect he's right.

Soon you may need to decide. This from New Scientist announces the first megawatt laser being fired from an aircraft.
The TIE-fighter was always my favourite. Its superior handling meant Luke Skywalker was lucky in his X-wing. Ugly but technologically wonderful. The Porsche of the Star Wars franchise.
My favourite, until this came along... the Naboo Starfighter.
Beautiful. The Lamborghini to the TIE-fighter's Porsche.

Adaptive Path have created Aurora, a concept browser (well, this is just a concept of what the concept would be ...) for Mozilla Labs. It's a glimpse into a possible future for our browsing experience and picks up on some themes (some more subtly than others) such as the merging of the desktop and browser, cloud computing and the blurring of the lines as to your machine vs the machine and where data and apps are stored and a whole bunch of other goodies. Very exciting stuff.
