The whole world is looking with great interest the photos of a table with a 3D touchscreen which was published by ScoutJapan. As the site said, restaurant customers can navigate through various dishes.

This table has another interesting function. If for instance you pick up a burger bun then you will see underneath the contents of a cheesburger!

Till now there are no videos of this specific table and the photos can not show you the whole story. Since this table is based on monitors made by TEC Japan (Toshiba) I assume that this will be based on a screen that they presented on CEATEC about 1.5 years ago. See the video below.

Wikileaks brings to light some documents that prove that the German government is planning to design a system to monitor conversations through skype. The ?skype Interception technology? is going to be designed by a German company called Digitask.

The German media are continuously talking about this issue. The reason that the government wants to monitor conversations is for security/terrorism. We need to be informed that our conversations are monitored before we install such programs.

This Nintendo Wii has inspired a lot of people. This time they decided to create a screen-ring (full 360 degrees) to play Quake III. You are literally inside the Arena and the Quake world is all around you, until you get dizzy:)

This is the point where we tell you…”Please do not try this at home”. Some guy in Russia is desperately trying to persuade us that this Asus monitor can not be damaged. If you do try this at home you may not be able any more to read your favorite site.
