...Postal Service issued its first hologram stamp in 1989. Both quickly became collector's items. Homemade holograms are difficult to create, requiring lasers and holographic plates or film, which has made them effective counterfeit deterrents used on credit cards and identification documents. But movie-quality, 3-D holography - think Princess Leia in Star Wars - is a whole other beast. For one thing, researchers need to find a way to create moving, three-dimensional images of human beings without burning them with lasers. Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing technology for 3-D video but predict that a usable...
...newly announced Beatles game has the potential to bring the genre to new heights, at least for those who, like me, worship the Fab Four. One can’t help but wonder, though, what could have been if the Beatles had entered the video game scene earlier: exploring Princess Peach’s castle to the tune of “When I’m (Super Mario) Sixty-Four,” hearing “I’m Looking Through You” when the x-ray visor was used in Metroid Prime, watching Dr. Robotnik...

Stone may want the audience to wonder why and how this man is President...
...once referred to the members of Nazi Germany's Waffen SS as deserving of as much honor as any German soldier, and who praised Hitler's employment policies. But the emotion and media frenzy around his death, which Hofer compares to England's trauma over the passing of Princess Diana, has distracted people from Haider's far-right legacy. Haider's party will contest elections in the province of Carinthia next spring. Few observers doubt that the party will use Haider's face on campaign posters. And few doubt that, reports of the circumstances around his death notwithstanding, the party...
