Microsoft unveils universal translator that converts your voice into another language. Microsoft Research has shown off software that translates your spoken words into another language while preserving the accent, timbre, and intonation of your actual voice.
In a demo of the prototype software (starts around the 12 minute mark), Rick Rashid, Microsoft’s chief research officer, says a long sentence in English, and then has it translated into Spanish, Italian, and Mandarin. You can definitely hear an edge of digitized “Microsoft Sam,” but overall it’s remarkable how the three translations still sound just like Rashid. In order for the translation system to do its work it needs about an hour of training, which allows it to create a model of your voice. This model is then mushed into Microsoft’s standard text-to-speech model for the target translation language. For example, Microsoft’s standard model of Spanish will have a default “S” (ess) sound, but the training process replaces it with your “S” sound.
Now imagine this tech in a two-way setup. Cities in the Sea. A global system of these structures can easily accommodate many millions of people and relieve the land based population pressures.
They can provide the inhabitants with information and serve as natural sea aquariums without artificially enclosing marine life. Many of these cities may serve as oceanographic universities that maintain the ecological balance of marine systems. Other ocean cities will maintain sea farms that will cultivate many forms of marine life. They could also be used as a new resource for mining the relatively untapped resources of the oceans without disturbing its ecology. Still others may monitor and maintain environmental equilibrium and reclaim dangerous radioactive and other pollutant materials that have been dumped into the sea.
After construction, these structures can be towed to various locations where they would be most beneficial, then anchored to the ocean floor. A Day Made of Glass...

Obfsproxy obfsproxy is a tool that attempts to circumvent censorship, by transforming the Tor traffic between the client and the bridge.
This way, censors, who usually monitor traffic between the client and the bridge, will see innocent-looking transformed traffic instead of the actual Tor traffic. obfsproxy supports multiple protocols, called pluggable transports, which specify how the traffic is transformed. For example, there might be a HTTP transport which transforms Tor traffic to look like regular HTTP traffic. See the pluggable transports page for more information. Even though obfsproxy is a separate application, completely independent from tor, it speaks to tor using an internal protocol to minimize necessary end-user configuration.
