Ethernet continues its inexorable growth
Recently, the IEEE announced the formation of a study group to look into how to make 400 Gbps ethernet work. Good timing on a recent Bell Labs announcement Not only have they demonstrated 400 Gbps transmission, but it was done over a distance of 12,800km!! The article doesn't specifically mention, but strongly implies, that this distance was un-amplified which is simply amazing.

Watch porn
Most automatic watches beat about 4 times per second, but this fast ticker from L.U Chopard is about twice as fast at 8Hz.
Faster tick rate means that the watch is more accurate because disturbances will have less of an effect.
This has been tricky to accomplish because it requires twice the power reserve from the mainspring and will cause more wear and tear on the components.

Online LaTeX
LaTeX is a document markup language and the de-facto standard for writing research papers, especially where special formatting (such as math and chemical formulas) is needed. It has a pretty steep learning curve, and if you don't really need to use it, its hard to justify learning for occasional use (or at least, that's how I've always felt about it).

Fuzzycast
File under: things I wish I had time to play with AND things that should be used more widely.
Fuzzycast is a multicast distribution system that allows for pause, rewind, fast forward of Video on Demand (VoD) content. Multicast is useful for one-to-many distribution of content, but generally must be watched in real time (as it streams) by the clients.
Fuzzycast addresses these problems.
