Still nowhere near 14 trillion I'm sure, but could conceivably approach... 100 billion (cue Dr Evil music).

No - it could not. That would still be 20+ cameras for every inhabitant of the planet - and while you can have 2.5 billion camera-equiped mobile phones around, that is the only piece of electronics 60% to 70% percent of these people will get. 100 billion is still way off - laptops are counted maybe in the tens of millions, cars with cameras are still non standard in low end models in most of the World, and RC toys are a luxury item for most people - even on the developed World. 14 billion seens pretty high already, but is conceivable.

"Microsoft attests Edge browser is insecure by nature" as it does try to develop a separate "secure one"?

And what about the part that states that all participants must be American?

Anyway, for me it could be a little bit more money than it is in the U.S., but ti still would hardly pay the expenses to work on this - if done as a contract. As a lottery thing, this is simply a no-no.

They want a 10000 times speed up. They would not ask for such if the capability to do that was just lying on their hardware, idle. They either already have the GPU cores to make the calculations, and those are not in use - or they at least expect the same approach, but to make use of multiple-cores that are similarly idle. Otherwise asking for that kind of improvement is simply idiotic. (I think that for this price it is idiotic anyway, they should proper fund that thing).

Oops - time for one more Slashdot History talking about the amazing and brilliant bew Apple products. Who cares if it is the 4th or 5th history about Apple products in a row??

Windows Based GitHub Repository Owners Targeted By Data-Stealing Malware -
Here, I fixed the title for you.

So -WIndows 10 cloud is about an appliance were the users can't even control which programs to run (previous instances of Windows Stores had virtually no apps) - and you have basically Ars Technica just licking Microsoft boots and endorsing it to very last bit. The only thing left to wonder is how much of Ars Technica revenue comes directly from Microsoft Marketing department.

Those are called "3D Glasses" and served you at sessions at the Movies. Sorry, but I can't stand watching a "3D" movie that focus on a single part of the screen while keeping all the background super-blurry, so you are forced to look at the subject for which the 3D is targeted in a given scene.

Surprise - -there is surgery already, that can fix the things for a lot of people - but the error rates are still there, and once something goes wrong on the surgery, it is gone bad - not like there is an "undo" for scarred cornea tissue. That is why a lot of people, maybe the majority, opt for not doing any surgeries at all - even with the current, imperfect glasses. And there always will be - even when the surgeries get better.

I guess you don't use glasses yourself do you?

Looking at the window and being unable to see who is outside is the default for most of us. If I am reading a book, can just raise my view, and swipe across my eyebrows to have a clear view of outsidn, that is already a win situation.

And I emphasize he point that the technolgy to look at "your eyes" is already there - whether it will be incorporated by default, or left as a trade off for pricing/battery life/glass weight remains to be seem.

You realise that even if this needs a manual setting of a control on the glass itself, it will still be one order of magnitude better than swapping glasses?
And, it is not like the "conventional" tech we have today, used in smartphones and other gadgets, cannot look at the eye.

It is said to read this, but on a second though, it must be what happens.

Let's just hope someone like Elon Musk gather all this tech and bring it to market.

Things about living in the future - this is the one technology I has been waiting for years, for before I need reading glasses! Now please go and take that to market! And if you want to include some mosquito-killer-lasers in the process I would not mind.

Over- oversold, actually:

They did not create even "a bit" of it. The research is about simulation of the structure, and verification on a scaled up plastic model only.

The original paper is here - they don't come even close to hint they built the material:
