Apple's fifth take: Ars reviews the iPod nano with videoSource: Ars Technica
Once again, we have taken a look at the new iPod nano to see if its new features are cool enough to keep it at the top of Apple's best seller list. And, since video is one of the nano's major new features, we compared its video quality to other pocket video cameras.

Over the last year or so I have been extremely interested in the future of computing. Nano technology is going to change the face of computing, and possibly the world.
New Nanolaser Key To Future Optical Computers And TechnologiesSource: Science Daily
World's smallest nano lasers now a reality. They are going to clear the way for computers to use light instead of electrons to process information. I think this is very exciting, as computers will leapfrog into a new speed realm.

Ultra-fast Laser Alters Metal to Attract, Repel and Guides LiquidsSource: nanowerk.com
In nature, trees pull vast amounts of water from their roots up to their leaves hundreds of feet above the ground through capillary action, but now scientists at the University of Rochester have created a simple slab of metal that lifts liquid using the same principle—but does …
Regular Light Bulbs Made Super-efficient With Ultra-fast LaserSource: Science Daily
The laser process creates a unique array of nano- and micro-scale structures on the surface of a regular tungsten filament—the tiny wire inside a light bulb—and theses structures make the tungsten become far more effective at radiating light.
