Harvard Physicist Plays Magician With the Speed of Light

Lene Vestergaard Hau can stop a pulse of light in midflight, start it up again at 0.13 miles per hour, and then make it appear in a completely different location. "It's like a little magic trick," says Hau, a Harvard physicist. "Of course, in all magic tricks there's a secret." And her secret is a 0.1-mm lump of atoms called a Bose-Einstein condensate, cooled nearly to absolute zero (-459.67 degrees Fahrenheit) in a steel container with tiny windows. Normally well, in a vacuum light goes 186,282 miles per second. But things are different inside a BEC, a strange place where millions of atoms move barely in quantum lockstep.

Dark Messiah Might and Magic Launch Trailer

I don't normally post about trailers or movies, but since Dark Messiah Might and Magic (they dropped the of, I think?) launches tomorrow I figured why not. This trailer will absolutely get your blood pumping for the game, I know I can't wait to play it tomorrow now. Wowzers.

Right now the only mirror I can see is the Fileplanet mirror, sorry guys. I know how some of you hate Fileplanet and all. I'll look for some more mirrors during the day and add them once I find them. Feel free to add them to the comments area as well.

Just to remind you, Dark Messiah Might and Magic launches on Steam tomorrow October 25 at 10AM Eastern Time  for North America only. The rest of the world launches on Steam on October 27 at 10AM GMT.

The video runs for 2 minutes and 34 seconds, and is really stunning. Not the greatest quality mind you, especially for a 20 meg WMV file, but it works. Enjoy.

Microsoft Surface vs. CNN's Magic Wall

John McCain and Barack Obama haven't been discussing tech issues much, but this election season has showcased technology in a different way. Multi-touch, big-screen interfaces are all the rage among the cable news networks -- most notably CNN and its "Magic Wall," which even earned its own Saturday Night Live spoof. More recently, NBC got into the act by bringing in a Microsoft Surface tabletop computer, putting a high-tech sheen on its political coverage.



The concepts are similar, the implementations very different.

Adobe Acquires Serious Magic

Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) today announced it has acquired Serious Magic Inc.™, maker of video software and communications tools for creative professional, business, consumer, and education markets. With Serious Magic solutions such as DV Rack extending direct-to-disk recording and monitoring into the field and Visual Communicator and Vlog It™ delivering the power of video communication to general business users and casual bloggers, the acquisition strengthens Adobe's leadership position in video software -- for both video professionals and consumers.

Adobe plans to continue to sell Serious Magic's products and future versions of Adobe's video solutions will include Serious Magic technologies and software. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

"Adobe video products and Flash Video are creating new ways to integrate the moving image into almost every imaginable communication project," said Mark Randall, CEO and Chief Magician at Serious Magic. "We're proud of the cutting-edge work we've done at Serious Magic and believe that teaming with Adobe will be a truly magical combination enabling our award-winning technologies to have a lasting impact on video communications."

Serious Magic is a privately held company headquartered in Folsom, California and currently ships several widely-acclaimed products, including DV Rack, ULTRA™ 2, Ovation™, Visual Communicator and Vlog It. Adobe believes this acquisition will not have a material financial impact on the company.
