Facebook Phone Reportedly Coming Within Year
It's a question almost as old as Facebook itself: Will the world's biggest social network, which became a multibillion-dollar publicly held concern without selling anything tangible, eventually branch out into hardware: Namely, a branded phone?The question becomes more salient as the Menlo Park, Calif.-based corporation searches for new ways to generate income -- other than it's traditional model of selling ads and partnering with apps -- to attract investors. Its performance on the NASDAQ so far has been unimpressive, closing on Tuesday about $10 less than its initial public offering price of $38.
Apple Engineers 'Like' It It also seems more in the realm of possibility since tech companies are increasingly working to consolidate Web presence and mobile devices: Amazon.com has its Kindle, while Google has its Android phones and tablets and now owns Motorola Mobility, to make its own phones.
Now, employees of Facebook as well as engineers who have been sought out by the company tell The New York Times that the company will finally launch a smartphone within the next year. In a sign that the Mark Zuckerberg-founded company is pulling out all the stops, it has hired former engineers from Apple, the Times said, including six who worked on the iPhone and one who worked on the iPad. The specifics seem to give the rumor new credibility.
Facebook did not confirm or deny the report, which said the smartphone project began in 2010 and is called Buffy.
"We're working across the entire mobile industry; with operators, hardware manufacturers, OS providers, and application developers," the company told the Times, reiterating a statement from from last year in response to a report about the smartphone project.
That's exactly what Facebook needs to do to keep from eventually fizzing out as another dotcom fad, even after its spectacular growth to 900 million users, analysts...

22:24(Phys.org) -- In the annals of “whatever happened to that big idea” is the 2009 announcement of road trains linking cars in a convoy, a scheme planned for Europe’s motorways. The lead vehicle would have the active driver and the rest of the cars in the convoy would be autonomously driven. Someone, possibly with a sense of humor, dubbed the undertaking as the Sartre Project, standing for Safe Road Trains for the Environment. This month comes the report that the idea has been successfully tested and is a step forward in a plan to change the way vehicles travel.

22:24The storage of light-encoded messages on film and compact disks and as holograms is ubiquitous---grocery scanners, Netflix disks, credit-card images are just a few examples. And now light signals can be stored as patterns in a room-temperature vapor of atoms. Scientists at the Joint Quantum Institute have stored not one but two letters of the alphabet in a tiny cell filled with rubidium (Rb) atoms which are tailored to absorb and later re-emit messages on demand. This is the first time two images have simultaneously been reliably stored in a non-solid medium and then played back.
