Should Students Use a Laptop in Class?
WSJ.com: There's a widely shared image on the Internet of a teacher's note that says: "Dear students, I know when you're texting in class. Seriously, no one just looks down at their crotch and smiles." College students returning to class this month would be wise to heed such warnings. You're not as clever as you think—your professors are on to you. The best way to stay in their good graces is to learn what behavior they expect with technology in and around the classroom.

Disney Research's Finger-to-Ear Sound Transmission
Tested: Before an attraction ever gets built and installed into a Disney theme park, Disney Imagineers have to invent new ways to amaze a generation of visitors that have grown up with cutting-edge technology like smartphones and tablets. That's why Disney has its own dedicated research division to experiment with robotics, computer graphics, computer-human interaction, and even material science to empower their Imagineers. Many of these research areas explore new ways of manipulating our senses, such as adding touch responses to everyday object or delivering haptic feedback using air cannons. However, a newly revealed research project exploits our perception of sound.
Using a Laser as the World's Most Powerful Paintbrush
Underwire | Wired.com: Last April director Ben Tricklebank was testing out a concept for his collaboration with data visualization artist Aaron Koblin – a long-exposure photography project called Light Echoes – and in the process was projecting a series of rainbow-esque color bands on a canyon wall using an RGB laser.

I hate it soooooo much when they convert movies to 3D.
When you see the Wizard of OZ you can think a lot of things, but one thing you don't think is : Oh, you know what this movie is missing? 3D!

Just a waste of time and money in my opinion.
