	Lens-less camera, costing pennies, brings vision to the Internet of Things There's a type of camera technology emerging with a view of the world similar to what a honey bee sees. The images appear blurry and hazy, but if you're a bee, good enough for finding flowers and people to sting.It could also be perfect for the Internet of Things by making it cheap to add vision capability to just about anything. Rambus This is Rambus' first proof-of-concept device. Researchers took an off-the-shelf camera development kit, removed the cover glass protecting the photodiodes, and replaced it with a 4 mm-x-5.5 mm glass chip with diffraction gratings on it.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: BMC Software Guide to Managing and Lowering Mainframe Software Charges Monthly license charges (MLC) are rising by 7% or more each year, and account for 30% of total mainframe costs.

Learn More Review: First impressions of the new iPhone 6 This year's launch of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus wasn't exactly the smoothest of rollouts. There were glitches during the Sept. 9 unveiling, a delayed and problematic pre-order process and an iOS 8 launch on Wednesday that saw key features pulled at the last-minute. But that didn't stop the company from booking an astounding four million in iPhone pre-sales, and it didn't dissuade thousands of people from standing in line for hours (some, for days) for a chance to buy one of the new iPhones.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Dremel releases a 3D printer for the masses Hand power tool maker Dremel has unveiled a 3D printer it said will allow almost anyone to use the desktop technology.

The phone bucked the trends of modern Android flagships, from its smaller-than-average size to its simple software and focus on real-world performance. As a result, the device delivered an exceptionally delightful user experience -- a cohesive package the likes of which Android had never quite seen. The Moto X may not have been the top seller of 2013, but it earned oodles of praise and topped more than a few "best of" lists. Now, with its recently announced second-generation model, Motorola is hoping it can recreate the magic while convincing more consumers to climb on for the ride.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More : Citrix Systems Security Leadership Series: Security Strategies for Success Today's highly mobile employees and line-of-business groups are front-line participants in the struggle to secure the enterprise.

Read More New iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are easier to repair Apple's new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are slightly easier to repair than their forerunners, the iPhone 5C and 5S, iFixit said today after tearing apart the smartphones in Australia, where the devices first went on sale Friday.iFixit, a popular electronics do-it-yourself repair website, gave the new iPhones a repair score of 7 out of a possible 10, the same as 2012's iPhone 5, but better than the scores by 2013's iPhone 5C and 5S, which were each awarded 6 out of 10. The site credited the better score for this year's round of iPhones to easier removal of their batteries and the change to the fingerprint scanner's cable, which last year was easily torn from its socket while opening the case.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More GE to use crowdsourcing and 3D printers to build next-gen appliances GE will use Stratasys printers and a crowdsourcing site where users can offer their ideas to create prototypes for future household appliances.
