ATHENS, Greece (PNN) - August 19, 2013 - In an effort to buck the expensive rates of unreliable corporate telecom companies, a community in Athens, Greece, has created its own private Internet.

Built from a network of wireless rooftop antennas, the Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (AWMN) now has more than 1,000 members. Data moves “through” the AWMN mesh up to 30 times faster than it does on the telecom-provided Internet.

In this year we will see some amazing technologies,like Google Smart-Glasses, 3D Printing, Leap Motion, 3D Printing, transparent phone, Flexible Technology and Flying Car.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (PNN) - August 2, 2013 - Professor Margaret Hu’s important new article, Biometric ID Cybersurveillance (Indiana Law Journal), carefully and chillingly lays out federal and state government’s increasing use of biometrics for identification and other purposes. These efforts are poised to lead to a national biometric ID with centralized databases of our iris, face, and fingerprints. Such multimodal biometric IDs ostensibly provide greater security from fraud than our current de facto identifier, the social security number. As Professor Hu lays out, biometrics are, and soon will be, gatekeepers to the right to vote, work, fly, drive, and cross into our borders.

Mr. Fixitrick demonstrates the Faraday cage effect of a tinfoil hat by blocking the Electro-Magnetic Pulse from a typical wireless modem. A Crystal Quantum Radio made by EJ Gold is used as the pickup coil, and it is wired directly to the computer sound in. The program Audio Hijack Pro is used to interpret the audio signal in real time.
