Iris Transparent Tablet Concept Looks Awesome (Video)

Iris Transparent Tablet Concept Looks Awesome (Video):

We have featured a number of prototype laptops and netbooks with transparent displays here at Geeky Gadgets, and now we have the Iris transparent tablet concept, which features a transparent OLED display.

The Iris tablet concept is the work of designers Liu-Wei, Yao Kai-Chi, Hong Ruei Hong & Cheng Ya-Fang, and whilst it is only a concept at the moment, I suspect we will see tablets similar to this in the not too distant future.

iOS越獄駭客Comex在正式加入Apple前,公開回答JailbreakMe、Apple實習以及其他網友提問。

iOS越獄駭客Comex在正式加入Apple前,公開回答JailbreakMe、Apple實習以及其他網友提問。:

Comex answer question on reddit


Comex宣布加入Apple,引起越獄社群一陣騷動後,他決定在Reddit公開回答大家發問的問題,包含加入Apple的原因,以及許多人關心的,JailbreakMe以後是否會繼續開發等。以下是許多問題中的一些重點節錄……





After your internship with Apple and after iOS 5 is officially released, will you continue to support the jailbreak community by providing exploits?


問題:在你去Apple實習後,以及iOS 5正式發表後,你會繼續提供漏洞來支持越獄社群嗎?


Comex: No.


Edit: But I’ll want to jailbreak my phone, so I hope someone finds them :p


不會。


不過我還是會想把我的手機越獄,所以希望有人能把漏洞找出來:p


 


Why an intern position though? It seems like you could carry a regular position at apple. How has the core jailbreak dev teams responded to you going to work forapple?


為何會想到去實習?因為你似乎是可以在Apple找到固定職位的。另外,越獄的核心開發團隊對於你去為Apple工作有什麼反應嗎?


Comex: I don’t know if I’d want to do that- I’ve never had a job before and I don’t know what it’s like- and I intend to go back to college soon.


Mostly with congratulations.


我不知道我是不是真的想做這事,我以前從來沒有工作過,我不知道那是怎樣的感覺。我打算很快就回去大學。


大多是祝賀。


 


Have you made any money from the jb scene?


你在越獄方面有賺到任何錢嗎?


Comex: I’ve made a good amount of money through donations, which is mostly being used to help pay for college. JailbreakMe 2.0 was like $40,000; 3.0 was $15,000 (not quite sure why it decreased).


我已經從大家的捐獻裡賺到不錯的金額,其中大部份用來幫我付大學學費。JailbreakMe 2.0大概有$40,000,3.0大概是$15,000(不知道為何變少)。


 


The jailbreak community took a huge hit when you left. Do you think the active players can outsmart you now that you’re playing for the other team, or are you Apple’s final solution to their jailbreak problem?


整個越獄社群因為你的離開遭受了巨大的打擊。你覺得現在的成員可以玩的過你即將加入的隊伍,或是你是Apple解決越獄問題的最終解決方案?


Comex: There are a lot of smart people working for Apple already; maybe I can help, but I doubt I can stop people from finding exploits.


在Apple裡已經有很多聰明人,也許我可以幫的上忙,但是我懷疑我是否能阻止人們去找到其他漏洞。


 


Can you give any insight on how apple views the Jailbreak communities mods?


你可以告訴我們Apple內部是如何看待越獄社群的嗎?


Comex: I have no idea.


我一點概念都沒有。


 


As a huge open book for them to steal take ideas from.


就像是一本打開的大書,讓他們從裡面汲取點子。


Comex: I certainly don’t mind. Jailbreak community puts an idea in front of people with a crappy implemenation; Apple polishes it to the point where it can be an OS feature. I don’t know whether Apple actually pays attention to jailbreak apps, but see App Store, copy and paste, multitasking, etc…


我當然不介意。越獄社群用很蹩腳的完成方式,將這些點子放到人們面前,而Apple將它拋光變成亮點,成為OS內的功能。我不知道Apple是否真的有在注意越獄軟體,但是看看App Store、複製貼上、多工執行等功能……


 


Do you have any regrets?


你有什麼遺憾嗎?


Comex: I should have worked on these jailbreaks more consistently, and released them more quickly; I’ve had several exploits fixed on me that could have been used in a jailbreak if I was quicker at packaging.


我其實應該與其他越獄開發者的工作更協調一致,並加快釋出的時程。我曾經有找到幾個可以用來越獄的漏洞,但是在我把工具包裝好之前,就已經被修復了。


 


What, besides money, made you flip to the other side?


除了錢之外,是什麼讓你換邊站的?


Comex: It’s not about money. A large part of my motivation to jailbreak was always the challenge; the internship will be a new sort of challenge.


這與錢無關。我很大一部分的動力,是在我總是將越獄視為一種挑戰。實習將會是另一個新挑戰。


 


Will the current jailbreaks and/or the site disappear?


目前的越獄開發者或是網站會消失嗎?


Comex: No, I’ll hand them over to MuscleNerd or chpwn or whoever will take care of them.


不,我會交棒給MsicleNerd、chpwn或是任何可以照顧這個網站的人。



 


Reddit有這次Comex回答大家問題的完整記錄,不過Comex在問題中沒有,也不會提及他在Apple的職位或相關問題。

First mockups of Nikon’s mirrorless interchangeable lens camera

First mockups of Nikon’s mirrorless interchangeable lens camera:

I do not have any real images of the upcoming  Nikon mirrorless interchangeable lens camera but I received two mockups that will give you a pretty good idea of the camera’s design:

Nikon mirrorless interchangeable lens camera First mockups of Nikons mirrorless interchangeable lens camera

Nikon mirrorless interchangeable lens camera 2 First mockups of Nikons mirrorless interchangeable lens camera

Here are some details in addition to those I published earlier today:

  • Similar clean design like the Coolpix P300.
  • The camera will not have any dials on the top plate.
  • Speaker will be located on top plate.
  • There will be a pop-up flash and/or flash hot shoe for external flash.
  • The new mirrorless lenses may have electronic zoom buttons (see this patent).
  • There will be some functionality that will be introduced for the first time in a mirrorless camera.
  • The camera will probably be available in different colors.

I was told also that the mirrorless camera looks very much like the drawing filed in this patent (eventhough the camera will probably not have the patented protective mount cover):

Wacom發表可在普通紙上素描,同時記錄數位檔案的1024階感壓電子素描筆「Wacom Inkling」。

Wacom發表可在普通紙上素描,同時記錄數位檔案的1024階感壓電子素描筆「Wacom Inkling」。:

Wacom inkling


Wacom今天閃電發表了最新的產品「Wacom Inkling」,算是一款筆記&素描用的電子筆。利用超音波與紅外線技術,來將Inkling在紙上畫出的素描,直接轉變成電子檔,匯入電腦中繼續編輯。




雖然這類的電子筆軟體其實也已經有其他廠商作過,不過Wacom Inkling除了可以記錄1024階感壓(!)之外,還具有圖層(!)的功能。只要按下接受器上的按鈕,之後畫下的部份就會儲存在另一個圖層中。

此外,Wacom Inkling不需要特別的紙張,只要是Inkling的1mm鋼珠筆筆頭可以畫上去的紙都ok,紙張大小最大為A4(210x297 mm)。雖然也可以使用更大的紙張,不過能記錄的面積範圍還是只限於約A4大小。


wacom Inkling Case wTools ElevAngle RGB


電池使用時間,接收器部分為8小時,數位筆部分為15小時。而接收器內有2GB的儲存空間,使用USB連線傳輸&充電。


wacom_inkling_MDP-123_3.ashx.jpeg


而檔案匯入電腦,藉由專用的「Inkling Sketch Manager」軟體(Win/Mac)來管理、轉換。輸出格式支援BMP / JPG / TIFF / PNG / SVG(有向量檔!) / PDF,並可以輸入Adobe Photoshop、Adobe Illustrator、Autodesk SketchBook Pro以及Autodesk SketchBook Designer等軟體繼續編輯



目前「Wacom Inkling」預計在2011年9月下旬發售,售價為美金$199,日幣17,980円。

工程師短缺!德國汽車工業將逐漸進步緩慢

工程師短缺!德國汽車工業將逐漸進步緩慢:


在今年上半年度的全球車市發展來說,德國車廠普遍是一片光明的表現,但其實德國車廠正面臨一個隱憂,就是「工程師逐漸短缺」的問題。這個問題主要是因為資深工程師年紀漸長而退休,以及這份工作需要一些勞動力付出,所以年輕人對這份工作普遍沒有興趣所致。
