You don't need a key to get into the new Audi 2004 A8. You just wave your hand in front of a tiny sensor consisting of 65,000 electrodes that scan your fingerprints and the doors open. But they will do so only if you're the owner of this £60,000 luxury automobile with its 12-speaker spatial sound system. Otherwise it will sit there, locked against the world in smug perfection. The Audi A8's sensor, though, is more than a security device.

Sorry about the lack of updates lately but good things are coming. As much as I like RavenNuke it just isn''t cutting it. I have been hearing so much about WordPress that I figured it was time to jump in and give it a try. As with most things in life I have found things about WordPress that I love and things I hate. So far the positives outweigh the negitives, time will tell. I hope to go live with WordPress in the next two weeks.

In part one of NY1’s week-long look at Technology on the Horizon, Tech reporter Adam Balkin explains how 3D is making extra efforts to hook non-believers. If 2010 was the year 3D sets and content were made readily available for the home, 2011 looks to be the year manufacturers work through the issues stopping you from actually bringing 3D into your home. For starters, they’re looking to make changes to those expensive glasses needed to see the sets in 3D.

Someday, This Tree Could Be Producing Its Own Light nauright on Flickr Taiwanese researchers have come up with the elegant idea of replacing streetlights with trees , by implanting their leaves with gold nanoparticles. This causes the leaves to give off a red glow, lighting the road for passersby without the need for electric power. This ingenious triple threat of an idea could simultaneously reduce carbon emissions, cut electricity costs and reduce light pollution, without sacrificing the safety that streetlights bring. As many good things do, this discovery came about by accident when the researchers were trying to create lighting as efficient as LEDs without using the toxic, expensive phosphor powder that LEDs rely on. The gold nanoparticles, shaped like sea urchins , put into the leaves of Bacopa caroliniana plants cause chlorophyll to produce the reddish luminescence.
