Google Glass - Not too far away they say...
Inside Google X's Project Glass, Part I | Fast Company
"Something like this has never been created before," says Steve Lee (pictured, left), one of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business and the product lead for Google's Project Glass--the company is developing the futuristic eyeware at its secretive X lab. Much has been written about the project, but few details about the device itself have emerged outside concept designs and video.
World Wonders Project: Google
Free Technology for Teachers: The World Wonders Project is a Must-Bookmark Site
The World Wonders Project is probably best described as a multimedia encyclopedia of 132 historic and notable sites across five continents. The project assembles Google Streetview imagery, Google Earth 3D buildings, UNESCO World Heritage information, videos, and pictures on one page. Visitors to the World Wonders Project can move through the Streetview imagery just like they would on Google Maps.

Flame Virus is a big boy
The Flame Virus: Spyware on an Unprecedented Scale
Security researchers recently discovered one of the most complex instances of computer malware on record. Flame, which also goes by the names SkyWiper and Viper, has infected hundreds of computers across the Middle East and Europe. What does it do? Where did it come from? Who unleashed it?
What makes Flame so unusual is its size. It's much larger than some of the largest malware instances that researchers have found. For instance, the infamous Stuxnet virus that was targeted at Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities several years ago was 500 kilobytes, according to Wired.
“Flame is a sizable beast," said Graham Cluley of Sophos Security, a publisher of digital security software. "With all its components in place, it's approximately 20MB. And this is one of the reasons why people have bandied phrases around like 'biggest' and 'most sophisticated.' Reverse engineering 20MB of code is a sizable piece of work."
