2. A Mouse That Floats In Midair
3. The Perfect Computer? A new look at quantum computing.
4. Extreme Peer-to-Peer (This is what I think would interest you guys most. Direct link: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2147451,00.asp)
5. The Man Made Brain (Artificial Intelligence)

The last page has a...more near-future roadmap of interesting computing tidbits as well.

Here's the full article (the beginning): http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2147447,00.asp

The IMAX in your house is interesting. My guess is that before long you will have a multiple output projectors that do the same thing on their own, improving quality of commercial projectors.

that IMAX in ur house thing is pretty cool. What i found interesting was the article on Quantum computers. It cleared up (maybe not fully) the one doubt i had about how they could take advantage of a quantum system if once observed it would just go back to being a classical computer. Hopefully they can find ways of getting around this without very low temperatures...i dont think that would be very consumer-able? i imagine it would use much more power than our current computers, and even more so to keep it cool. if only we could use cold fusion....

Heh, I'm surprised you guys liked the IMAX thing so much; I was _sure_ that the Extreme P2P would be more interesting (which is why I put a direct link to that).

I wonder what would've happened if I switched up the order, so IMAX was near the bottom... :P

No 3D? Good 3D is the future...
