There’s no arguing that the Japanese love their cameras, particularly classic cameras. There’s no arguing that the Japanese love their iPhones (who doesn’t?). What could be cooler than combining the two and creating an iPhone case that looks like a classic Leica? That’s exactly what Japanese classic camera importer Adplus has done with its Gizmon iCA. Now its introducing an all-black “military” version - available for order worldwide in a few days. These covers don’t just look good either...

A group of researchers communicated a message through 780 feet of solid stone using a beam of neutrinos, the University of Rochester announced Wednesday. When the message came out the other side, the scientists were able to read it perfectly: it said, perhaps unimaginatively, "Neutrino."
Neutrinos are nearly massless and travel very close to the speed of light, so they can pass through substances, including entire planets, with little disruption. Scientists have talked about using the particles as a messaging alternative to cables or satellites, sending messages to the other side of the earth by going through the earth, rather than going around the long way or sending messages into space and back again.
The equipment to send neutrino messages is still wildly expensive. The researchers who sent the "Neutrino" message used a particle accelerator at Fermilab with a 2.5-mile-circumference track and the 5-ton particle detector named MINERvA. To signal the message, the scientists used binary code, with a group of neutrinos fired corresponding to a 1 and no neutrinos fired corresponding to a 0. Even MINERvA can only detect about one in 10 billion neutrinos, so the particles had to be fired in very large numbers to register.
Because the equipment is so expensive, actual communication with neutrinos is still a long way off. Still, the authors note that the particles are barely affected by gravity and not affected at all by magnetism; eventually, they could provide a stable alternative to the electromagnetic waves we use now.

Murder, romance, and deception highlight the noire-tale of Contrast. These scenes play out in shadow on the walls of a world set in an early twentieth century European-style city. These twisting stories already happened, their silhouettes revealing the past. Contrast's protagonist shifts between the colorful 3D world of cobblestone streets into the 2D world of shadows to change the past...

Of all the childhood allergies, an allergic reaction to eggs is one of the most common. Typically, reactions can include wheezing, nausea, headache, stomach ache, and hives. In extreme cases, however, anaphylactic shock can result, which can itself sometimes lead to death. Eggs are difficult to avoid, too - they find their way into many foods that might not seem particularly "eggy," and are even used in flu vaccines. Needless to say, for some time now, scientists have been working on making eggs safe for everyone. A team from Australia's Deakin University is now claiming that they're well on the way to producing not just hypoallergenic eggs, but the chickens that lay them...

Every once in awhile someone comes up with an app so easy and so useful, it astounds me. PaperKarma is one of those apps.
First, it's free, which is awesome (and a little mindboggling). Second, after signing up, all you have to do is take an iPhone pic of the junk mail address and hit send. PaperKarma does the rest. Third – and BEST – it works.
If you've ever tried getting off a junk snail mail list, you'll LOVE how simple this is.
