You will be remembered deeply by everyone. You were always there to help at times when once could not expect it from anyone else. You have been a father figure to all of us.

Go cast your vote for Rajib Maitra. (Voting ends October 31st. 5 days to go!)

You don't have to register to cast your vote so that's a reflief. The 'vote' button appears below the participant thumbnail container. I'm mentioning this because it took a few seconds to load up and I was like 'Where's the Vote button?'.

...The primary objective with USB 3.0 is a proposed performance increase to over 10x of Hi-Speed USB which today is 480 Mbps. This is a significant enhancement for consumers who are working more and more with ever expanding file sizes such as movies. For example, a 25 GB HD Movie would take only 70 seconds to transfer between devices. Studies show that a consumer’s patience on waiting time is about 1.5 minutes and after 5 minutes they abort what they were doing. That same file transferred over High-speed USB would take 13.9 minutes – an unacceptable wait time for most people.

...If the USB 3.0 specs are completed in 2008 as expected, the first USB 3.0 equipped goods should be on the market by 2009 and then USB 3.0 compatible accessories would show up in late 2009 or early 2010.

...The .asia regional internet domain has officially opened for business, with big firms expected to grab addresses.

...Governments and companies can now register interest in specific domain names, such as www.namehere.asia.

...The general public will get a chance to snap up their own .asia domain when the landrush starts in February 2008.

...Work to create the .asia domain began in 2000. The DotAsia Organisation won official approval to set up the domain in mid-October 2006 and the first .asia domains should go live on the internet in March 2008.

...Unlike other administrators of net domains, the DotAsia Registry plans to use an auction to determine who gets domains wanted by more than one organisation. The highest bidder will win the right to the contested name.

I watched it over the weekend. I was going to watch Saw III but ended up watching this as the new print hadn't arrived. But the Simpsons was pretty cool. Prettyy darn cool.

Breathtaking interactive sculptures by Daniel Rozin. Interactive sculptures that respond to the viewer by processing camera video signals and breaks them up into big pixels. The image reflects through the sculpture.
