New Anti-Lasers have been invented

A functioning anti-laser has been built, which they call a coherent perfect absorber (CPA). What's that? Well, think zero canceling for light. And if you don't know what that is...

In the anti-laser, incoming light waves are trapped in a cavity where they bounce back and forth until they are eventually absorbed. Their energy is dissipated as heat. The creators believe that CPAs could one day be used as optical switches, detectors, and other components in the next generation of computers, called optical computers, which will be powered by light in addition to electrons.

If the new Macbook Pro does indeed tout Intel's Lightpeak technology, these new advances are going to be getting serious spotlight in the coming months.

Apple going to launch new Macbook Pros next week

It's getting tougher and tougher for Mac to keep things secret up until release, as they are becoming more and more watched. computer repair chico, ca.

Apparently, the new Macbook Pros are going to use Lightpeak, a technology Intel's been working feverishly on for a few years now. Ultimately, the idea is all copper wire will be replaced with fiberoptics for much faster data travel. However, it looks like at this time this is not the case, but a humbler version of Lightpeak is expected to be in the new Macbook Pros.

Ray Kurzweil, the documentary, coming out soon

Alright you guys, this documentary is going to be worth watching. This man built the first synthesizer to realistically emulate a piano, the K2000. My dad bought me the K2500 12 years ago and it still work perfectly and is only less advanced architecturally than the K2661. But this is just one among many achievements that have affected us.

BTW, he also came up with text-to-speech technology!

The Voynich Manuscript

This makes my mind race with curiosity and wonder.

This is over 200 pages of vellum (that's animal hide) estimated to be from the 14th century.  All hand-painted and handwritten, the author unknown.  But here's the best part; out of all the cryptologists and language experts who have looked at this manuscript (which is now reportedly in the thousands), no one has been able to decipher the language.  Hard to believe however that this is jargon, but logic would certainly conclude this...
