Augmented reality browser Junaio has new look
(Phys.org) -- The new version of the augmented reality (AR) browser Junaio launched this week with more promise of easy immersive browsing with mobile devices. The idea is to merge via smartphone the vastness of the Internet into the real world, or to browse the world as one does the Internet. Metaio, the company behind Junaio, says the new release represents “the most advanced AR browser and open development platform.” The browser is designed to bring AR into the everyday world of experiences such as gaming, finding buildings, ordering off a restaurant menu, and walking in the right direction to the subway. Junaio was first released back in 2009 and has built up adoption among smartphone users and developers. Junaio uses have included scanning Quick Response (QR) codes, navigating environments, and discovering augmented content in print. -

Drobo Previews SSD-Accelerated Storage Arrays
Drobo is previewing two new storage arrays that are designed to accelerate workflows for creative professionals and small businesses as well as dramatically expand the storage capabilities of home media enthusiasts.The Drobo 5D and Drobo Mini storage arrays integrate several innovative features such as automated solid-state drive (SSD) acceleration, two Thunderbird ports and USB 3.0 connectivity.
"The SMB and prosumer market is clamoring for a plug-and-play storage product because it lacks the technical expertise and resources to manage complex storage systems," said Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle. "With the new Drobo products, there is no question that this enigma is solved."
With respect to designing the new Drobo 5D, the San Jose, Calif.-based company said its engineering team had decided to build an entirely new Drobo platform from the ground up. "Though the outside shell looks very similar [to prior Drobo products], the inside is completely new," said Erick Pounds, director of product management at Drobo.
Industry-First SSD Acceleration Both the Drobo 5D and Drobo Mini integrate industry-first SSD acceleration that enables device users to benefit from the instant storage and retrieval characteristics of SSDs as well as the capacity benefits of traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). Moreover, the new storage arrays are based on entirely new hardware and software architectures that Drobo claims can boost baseline performance by at least five times -- even prior to the addition of SSDs.
For example, an accelerator bay is built into the bottom side of the Drobo 5D that accommodates "a new type of solid-state device called an mSATA SSD," Pound said in a video interview posted online.
When we asked Drobo to explain more about this new type of SSD, the company noted that the big advantage of the mSATA form-factor is size. "The dimensions are 29.9 x 50.8 x 3.75 mm -- about...

In his famous article in 1950 Alan Turing proclaimed: "I believe that by the end of the century ... one will be able to speak of machines thinkingwithout expecting to be contradicted." Clearly the famous Turing got it wrong (Tom Melzer, G2, 18 June). And even if the Turing test had been passed, he would still have been wrong. The Turing test is the crudest of behavourism. In my lifetime Turing has gone from obscurity to awe-inspring icon, but this seems to be exaggerated. He certainly did good work on the notion of computability, though that was based on something much more fundamental called Godel's theorem. It doesn't seem to be true that he was the inventor of the computer, though again he did good work on early versions of programming computers. I can't comment on his contribution to breaking the German codes, since none of the accounts I've seen explain exactly how they did it. But I understand that it took them a long time, and that when they'd done it, Doenitz became suspicious and changed all the codes. It is perhaps time for a more balanced view of Turing.
