What "duopoly" of router manufacturers? Everyone is talking about going for Linksys, Netgear, D-Link or Belkin, (or Asus) or having to build your own... There are many other GREAT router manufacturers out there that don't make the dumbed-down interfaces that Linksys etc are known for... Some of my favorites: Ubiquiti Mikrotik Engenius Just by a piece of CPE and configure it to your needs... You'll find that their Wi-Fi radio is about 20x more powerful than the average Linksys (400mw instead of 20mw), and you have more adjustments available than on a typical consumer router. Plus, they don't crash.

The lenses would allow users to focus simultaneously on images that are both close up (perhaps a display) and far away (perhaps a battlefield.)

Using virtual reality technologies to improve how soldiers perform on the battlefield has been a particular interest of the U.S. military for some time. Two goals: improve not only intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance activities but also training."
