Perfumed, Glowing Cloth

namtap writes "A story on NPR's [0]All Things Considered [1]discusses a
light emitting fabric: The costumes onstage in Washington, D.C., might
look a little brighter this opera season -- or at least, much more
colorful. All Things Considered senior host [2]Robert Siegel talks with
Alberto Spiazzi, costume designer for Washington Opera's production of
Aida, about [3] luminex, a self-illuminating fabric." Makarand writes
"A new technology will soon [4]enable scents to be woven into fabrics.
The technology, called Sensory Perception Technologies (SPT), will
allow particles of moisturisers, deodorants and fragrances to be woven
directly into fabrics. Scented tiny droplets contained inside miniature
waterproof particles are woven into fabrics to be released upon
activation by movement or touch. The fabrics are dry cleanable and
machine washable."

Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/25/2057236
An anonymous reader writes "According to the Seattle Times, Microsoft
(probably their MSN arm) is pushing for a change in at least
Washington's anti-spam law. Some analysts claim that the changes
contain [0]holes that will allow Microsoft to be exempt from the law."
Odd that Microsoft is simultaneously trying to stop spam sent to
Hotmail users, and to make sure that it can send unsolicited commercial
email without penalties.

upcoming Emerging Technology conference, is a leader in the field of
swarm intelligence and has focused on applying these concepts to real
world problems such as factory scheduling and telecommunications
routing. The concept itself is borrowed from nature; in this interview,
that's where the conversation begins, with ants and other social
insects. Dr. Bonabeau takes us from his [1]childhood nightmares of
carnivorous wasps to applying the theories of swarm intelligence to

The seeds of a new style of computing device have been sown, and as they grow they will inevitably lead to a world where the computer operating system as we know it today is as dead as the planetary transmission that drove the Model T Ford.
