...Microsoft-designed tabletop has an overhead camera that records a patient's pill intake. There is also a projector that beams down a checkerboard image, allowing a virtual game between friends in different homes. Being tested: having the camera record the board moves and then feeding those images to a computer, which analyzes the times it takes a player to make a move and the speed and dexterity with which he shifts the checkers, to spot changes that might indicate a deterioration in brain functions...

DVD players, digital projectors and iPods have put the technology of drive-in movies into the hands of anyone with a technological bent. In California, the Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In collective has combined a love of movies with a mission to reclaim public space by staging word-of-mouth screenings of films ranging from politically subversive shorts to Dirty Dancing, and it has inspired other guerrilla-flick efforts in Portland...
