Hey, Google: Check out this ultra-fast book scanner
Posted on October 14, 2009 | No Comments
Wikipedia says Google is using a special camera that's able to scan books at a rate of 1,000 pages per hour, which doesn't sound bad at all (I am talking about Google Books of course, the company's online collection of digitized books ). But now a team at the elite University of Tokyo has announced the development of a device that can scan a 1,000-page book in four minutes.

Google making it possible to print public domain books
Posted on September 19, 2009 | No Comments
Google has been very much about saving out of print books by moving them into a digital format over the last seven years. This has been a part of their Google Book Search project, which involved pulling books out of libraries and scanning them in, and thus preserving them forever.

Posted on July 2, 2009 | No CommentsSometimes exotic dancers fall in love with clients. Likewise, sometimes bloggers buy the products they write about. This is one of those stories (blogging, not exotic dancing). Two weeks ago I wrote a post about Wahl’s lithium ion electric razor. Shortly after writing said post, I bought one. I shave maybe once every two weeks and usually [...] -
Optimum Online Ultra, one month later: Hope you plan to P2P a lot
Posted on June 22, 2009 | No CommentsIt's been about a month since I subscribed to Optimum Online Ultra, the fastest Internet service in the country—sorry, Peter. Consider this a predictable, rubbish explanation of how my Internet habits—nay, my life!—have changed as a result of having a 101 megabits-down/15 megabits-up connection.

Wahl Reboots Male Grooming with Li-Ion Trimmer
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No CommentsThe batteries in electric shavers suck. Charge-times are better measured as large fractions of days than as hours, you can’t use them while they are charging and, even when full, they don’t last long. Wahl’s new trimmer tries to fix this, and Wahl is so proud of the battery technology that it has put it in [...]
