The two images above are maps of the Internet, specifically the “routers” – equipment that passes data to its intended destination – and the paths between them. Think of it as the Internet’s highways and exit ramps. The maps were made by Lumeta, a tech-security company. The map on the left was made 10 years ago, and shows about 88,000 routers. The one on the right was made a couple of months ago. This time Lumeta mapped over 450,000 routers.

The breaking news about the latest development of applications on iPhone is it’ll soon be turned into a controller for controlling unmanned military aircrafts.
That is the new territory for iPhone software apps to venture into, which they’ll release some software apps that control the military aircrafts. The multimedia applications seem to have limitations to let those geeky iPhone app developers to get their actual satisfaction. What they want is to look into something more exciting, lets saying making the iPhone capable of controlling airplane in the air.
According to the Apple Software Developer Kit agreement, the applications are not supposed to be designed for or marketed for automatic or autonomous control of aircrafts. However, some geeky developers at University of California, Berkeley, have taken a big leap, which in fact they’ve violated the Apple’s terms and conditions, and taken the applications to the next higher level i.e. for the use to control some unmanned aircrafts.
The Berkeley team makes this iPhone aircraft controlling app to use the Mobile Safari, to allow the users to enter the coordinates and select tasks for unmanned flights, which the control signals are delivered via a web server. Video is attached below to show how this cool app on iPhone is in action.

The Nikon D700 camera seems to have got pretty much rumors about it before. And now it’s been officially confirmed that it’s available now. The Nikon D700 is a full frame (24×36) DSLR camera, which sounds pretty threatening to its rivals such as Canon and others.
The Nikon D700 makes full use of the D3 technologies, which features a 12.1 effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor, that measures only 23.9mm x 36mm and nearly the size of a 35mm film. Besides, the camera is similar to some of the latest cameras, which boasts a 3-inch screen.
And also various goodies such as Nokia’s renown 51-Point autofocus system with 3D focus tracking, active D-lighting for more contrast, Live View, GPS support, scene recognition, four-speed active dust reduction, an ISO sensitivity of 6400 (up to 25,600), compact flash card slot, HDMI out, and 5 to 8 fps full-res shooting etc.
The Nikon D700 is expected to hit Europe in July for about 1,900 Euros. We’ll probably some reactions from Nikon’s rivals pretty soon, to produce another great shooter to challenge the Nikon D700.

It could be everyone’s dream that you can ride on a hovering surfboard and travel in the air. That’s my dream, definitely, but I don’t know about you.
Of course, a surfboard that could let you hover in the air is still too early to talk about with the current stage of technology development. But a remote controlled version has been made available. Here comes the RC hovering space surfer, which lets you have a feel on how exciting space surfing is. Getting the little “space man” riding on the flying surfboard and its destiny is now in your hands for flying it around in your living or work space. Cool!
The space surfer is capable of both indoor and outdoor flights. The surfboard isn’t equipped with two propellers which produce sufficient thrusts to lift it up an float in the air with up to 66 feet without needing a hand launch.
Using the included remote control you can make the RC space surfer to climb, descend and make turns. The RC space surfer is powered by a rechargeable battery which can be recharged using the included AC adapter. The remote has a 27-feet range and it needs a 9-volt battery. Every 70-min rechare will let you fly in the air for 15 minutes only. It’s surely a great RC toy that brings so much fun.

Sony Ericsson G705 – another cellphone in Sony’s G series, which was initially set to be released on the Sept 8, but it got delayed for a day. At least it’s come now a day later.
The SE G705 is a good looking slider which is loaded with nice mid-end features. Since it’s also a member in the G-series, it’s meant to be used as a personal assistant in your overly busy daily life. The SE G705 doesn’t run on Symbian UIQ and neither on any other mobile OS. In fact, it’s on a Java platform.
The phone sports a 2.4 inch TFT display with 262K colors, and supports auto-rotation. You’ll find A-GPS, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, 120MB of internal memory, 1GB M2 card and 3.2-megapixel camera with flash on this cellphone. The camera is also capable of geotagging and video recording.
The phone is to ride on quad-band GSM cellular networks. It’s been loaded with some Google features, equipped with a full HTML browser, with a shortcut key to have quick access to Google Maps and also video viewing and direct uploading on YouTube. It also supports Exchange ActiveSync for your email.
Since the phone is ready with the nice browser and functions with Google Maps, YouTube and email etc, it must come ready with high-speed Internet connectivity. Yes, it works on Tri-band HSDPA, which Sony claims that it’s the “turbo 3G speeds”.
The US version is made available in early 2009, whereas the G705u, which is the first SE’s UMA-enabled phone will be made available for the UK. The price tag still remains unknown.

It was last year Innovative Card Technologies and eMue Technologies introduced the credit card that comes with its own authentication system, and now Visa Europe has rolled out their newly designed credit card which comes with similar authentication system. (VISA may have purchased those cards from the two companies)
The new credit card introduced by VISA comes with a keypad, and a digital number display. The card is exactly the usual size and there is also a magnetic strip that can be used with conventional card readers. At the back of the credit card, you don’t get the traditional security code number. Instead, you key your pin number on its keypad to get to generate a random security code on the digital display.
You can then enter this one-time security code while making a purchase online. This is definitely much more secure than the traditional security code, as no one could simply guess what the card has generated.
