The Windows iPhone

(A new Wyse application uses virtualization to deliver computer desktops over the Internet)-SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Don't tell Apple, but the App Store currently holds an iPhone application that works with Adobe Flash, runs Google's Chrome browser and hosts a fully functional Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. No, Steve Jobs hasn't abandoned Apple's draconian application approval process. It's a breakthrough business application that's already climbing the lists in the App Store's business category. At VMware's ( VMW - news - people ) annual VMworld event in San Francisco on Wednesday, Chief Technologist Steve Herrod demonstrated a new breakthrough application of its View Client software. Called "PocketCloud" and developed by Wyse, it uses cutting-edge virtualization technology to serve up wholesale operating systems over the Internet. It also supports Microsoft's ( MSFT - news - people ) Remote Desktop Protocol, resulting in iPhone or iPod touch devices that can host Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and anything those operating systems can run. San Jose, Calif.-based Wyse is perhaps the largest private company in the virtualization space. It is also the biggest manufacturer of so-called "thin clients," stripped down machines that use virtualization to run the same operating systems on less hardware. The computer processing is done on the server-side, rather than on the user's side, so the machines can do more with less. With PocketCloud, Wyse is using its experience in developing software for thin clients to bring virtualization to the iPhone, a thin client of a different kind. Thanks to the success of its thin clients, Wyse is primarily known as a hardware company. But to make everything work smoothly, the company has done a lot of software development as well. From Wyse's perspective, the iPhone might be just another device for which engineers should develop operating systems and for enterprise-class IT staff it will likely solve more than a few headaches. For consumers, the long-term implication is even greater. Babak Pahlavan, a Wyse product manager who oversaw development of PocketCloud, demonstrated how to use the application on his personal iPhone from the VMworld exhibit floor. Drawing his finger across the phone to open its native operating system, he selects the CloudPocket icon and his phone presents him a handful of computers to which he can connect. One click and 10 seconds later, Windows 2003 Server appears. While PocketCloud is replete with digital bells and whistles, Wyse is trying to solve a pain point that plagues many business IT staffs. As smart phones increasingly circulate into the workplace, they become a nexus for information that IT needs to secure. If employees can access their desktops from their mobile device, then they can get work done without punching holes in their company's security policy. That, says Pahlavan, means the device is secure by design. "Say you lose the phone. It doesn't matter," he says. "Nothing is stored on the device. Everything is still on the server-side." Despite the friendly name, Wyse is not targeting the average consumer. Those behind PocketCloud's pricing strategy make the point very clear with a $30 price tag. Those looking for casual access to personal computers can use the similarly priced LogMeIn application, which gives access to computers that are not virtualized. PocketCloud also supports other virtual environments like Amazon Web Services, so technology-savvy consumers can also use the application to bring new functionality to their Apple ( AAPL - news - people ) devices. Like many an application before it, PocketCloud merely creates a personal way to interact with an Internet service. But instead of ordering something from, say, Pizza Hut, the Wyse app serves up virtual computers. That's impressive--even on a platform known for its innovations.(NOW YOU PEOPLE CAN CUM)

Top 6 Incestuous Relationships In The Bible

Top 6 Incestuous Relationships In The Bible Religious scholars say that God suspended the laws of incest in the early days of man in order to ensure that man spread on the earth. In the words of the commentators of the Douay Rheims Bible: "God [dispensed] with such marriages in the beginning of the world, as mankind could not otherwise be propagated." Despite that, these tales are not all simply matters of procreation - particularly item 1. So, here is a list of 6 of the more questionable relationships in the Bible. 6. Cain and his Wife And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch. [Genesis 4:16-17] Cain was the first born son of Adam and Eve, and Abel was the second. In Genesis 4 we read how Cain kills his brother and is sent east of Eden where he marries a woman and "lays" with her. Because Adam and Eve were the first humans - from whom all people come - Cain's wife was his sister - and, consequently, all of the early Biblical relationships were incestuous (with the exception of Adam and Eve). Cain, incidentally, was the guy that caused so much trouble for the Mormon's who believed that the cursed "Mark of Cain" meant black skin, leading them to forbid blacks from entering the Mormon priesthood (God "revealed" that they were allowed to let black skinned people in to the priesthood in 1978). You can read more about that blunder here. In the image above we see Cain killing his brother Abel. 5. Abraham and Sara Howbeit, otherwise also she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her to wife. And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother. [Genesis 20:12-13] Abraham married his half sister Sara in Ur. The King of Gerara took her from Abraham and God sent him a dream to tell him that he would be destroyed for taking a woman who already had a husband (God approved of the marriage between the brother and sister). The King returned Sara to Abraham and they remained together as a couple until she died at the age of 127. Incidentally, Abraham died 38 years later at the ripe old age of 175. 4. Nachor and Melcha And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran. And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot. And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees. And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor's wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha. [Genesis 11:26-29] This is one of those complex "generations" quotes that are found throughout the early stages of the Bible, but if you pay close attention you can see that Nachor (Abraham's brother) married Melcha (his niece). It is phrases like those above which make it so difficult to read the Bible cover to cover. Frankly, these parts of the Bible make Proust's "In Remembrance of Things Past" read like a Doctor Seuss book! 3. Lot and his Daughters And the elder said to the younger Our father is old, and there is no man left on the earth, to come in unto us after the manner of the whole earth. Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in and lay with her father: but he perceived not neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up. And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father. They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up. So the two daughters of Lot were with child by their father. [Genesis 19:31-36] It doesn't really get much more blatant than that. The two daughters had sex with their father, Lot, in order to preserve his family line. Incidentally, this all happened shortly after they had fled from Soddom and Gomorrah which was destroyed by God for its immorality - ironic?. After the events described above, Lot had no memory of it (maybe it was the liquor) and nine months later the daughters gave birth to two sons, Moab (father of the Moabites), and Ammon (father of the Ammonites). 2. Amram and Jochabed The sons of Merari: Moholi and Musi. These are the kindreds of Levi by their families. 20 And Amram took to wife Jochabed his aunt by the father's side: and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of Amram's life were a hundred and thirty-seven. [Exodus 6:19-20] This is the family history of Moses - the guy who lead the Jews out of Egypt and later was given the ten commandments (which were not actually 10 commandments - more on that here). Jochabed was Moses' Great-aunty Mom. 1. Amnon and Thamar And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar. And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her. [II Kings 13:1-2 ] And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes. And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out, Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister. She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly. [II Kings 13:8-12] But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her. [II Kings 13:14] Our final item is not just a case of incest - it is a case of incestuous rape! Amnon fell in love with his sister, Thomar, and was counseled by a crafty man to trick her in to having sex with him. He followed the bad advice and when Thomar tried to defend herself, he raped her. At least justice was ultimately done as Thomar's other brother, Absalom, killed Amnon two years later in vengeance. Let that be a lesson to us all!

Future of the Screen: Terminator-Style Augmented-Reality Glasses

The most efficient possible display technology would be something that bypasses the eyes altogether and sends information straight to the brain. Sadly, cranial USB ports are still pretty hard to install. The second most efficient possible display technology anyone's devised projects images directly into the eye. The dream of a wearable virtual retinal display, or VRD, has been around for nearly two decades; it's on the horizon, but it's still going to be a while until it gets here. The idea of VRD was first tossed around at the University of Washington's Human Interface Technology Lab back around 1991. Thomas Furness, who'd been working on helmet-based displays for the Air Force in the '80s, and research engineer Joel Kollin were part of the team that put together the initial (and enormous) prototype. The concept was that tiny, ultra-low-power lasers could paint an image onto the human retina by scanning across it at high speed, essentially treating it as a tiny TV screen. If you could assemble a set of microscopic red, blue and green lasers, stick them where they could project onto your eyes, and hook them up to a computer, you could still see whatever you'd normally see, but with three-dimensional, full-color displays of additional information or imagery overlaid on the visible world—an effect called "augmented reality." Think of Arnold Schwarzenegger's sunglasses in Terminator, and you're on the right track. Prof. Steven Feiner, of Columbia University's computer science department, notes that the potential advantages of retinal displays are energy-efficiency and unobtrusiveness: "What many of us want is something you're always wearing so that you can experience overlaid stuff, as opposed to having to put something on." There is clearly some money to be made with augmented reality, and a Seattle-area company called Microvision has been working on commercial applications of the HITLab's VRD concepts since the early '90s. (More recently, the Japanese printer company Brother Industries has been developing a similar technology, which it calls "retinal imaging display.") The military has paid Microvision to research VRD eyewear for soldiers and pilots, who need to have a lot of information instantly accessible in addition to what's in front of their eyes. But there are plenty of day-to-day civilian uses for an unobtrusive, full-color "heads-up" display—one that wouldn't require looking away from its users' physical, nonvirtual surroundings. A mobile phone could have a "screen" as large as its user's visual field. Driving directions could appear in front of your eyes while you're looking at the road, even in bright daylight. Cooking wouldn't require shuttling your attention between the stove and a cookbook. Hearing-impaired people could see voice-recognition transcriptions of what people around them were saying. Surgeons could keep watch on their patients' vital signs and medical reference texts without looking away from an operation. So where are your Terminator shades? In 1992, Furness and Kollin claimed that it would be at least five years until full-on VRD was a reality, and it's been considerably more than that. One problem is that people's eyes don't stand still—in practice, projecting an image onto a retina is like trying to project a movie onto a moving screen. Another is that, while the wearable part of the system may be small, the gear that needs to be hooked up to it is still gigantic; if it's not portable, it's not very useful. Still, Dr. Bruce H. Thomas, the director of the Wearable Computer Lab at the University of South Australia, believes that "in the near future we might actually see head-mounted displays become consumer products because of iPods—a legitimate video delivery unit that lots of people carry around with them." In the meantime, primitive VRD has begun to appear in the real world. Microvision released the Nomad Expert Technician System in 2004. (It cost $4,000 a unit and only projected images in red; Honda ordered some for their training centers, but the NETS never caught on, and was discontinued by 2006.) And Brother announced last year that it was hoping to make their retinal imaging display device commercially available sometime in 2010. Maybe by then it'll be small enough for a non-Schwarzenegger-sized person to carry around.(Future of the Screen: After the CRT, a Display Deluge)---------- For the seven decades following the debut of television at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, the term "cathode ray tube" (CRT) was virtually synonymous with "display." Shortly after the turn of the millennium, liquid crystal display (LCD) technology began to replace the venerable CRT in desktop-computer applications, and by the middle of the decade LCD was rapidly squeezing the CRT out the television market that the latter had invented. Just two years ago, it seemed obvious that the display space was in the final stages of a relatively straightforward evolutionary shift, with LCD replacing the CRT in the same way that the gas-powered automobile had replaced the horse and buggy. Or so it seemed, then. In 2009, it turns out that the future of display technology is decidedly more complex than a simple evolutionary advance from one technology to another, because multiple display technologies are on the near-term horizon, and they'll most likely all coexist with one another in a display ecosystem that consists of many different niches and market segments. None of them will enjoy the kind of hegemony that CRT had in its heyday. In the near-term, a new generation of LCD panels is poised to revolutionize the television market with power-sipping displays that are 1 inch thin, boast very high contrast ratios, and can hang on the wall like a framed poster. The secret is in the new style of backlighting—the new displays replace compact fluorescent lamps with white LEDs that use much less power and enable a thinner screen profile. While the LCD-backlit LED has so far brought incremental advances to the mobile-computing space, the place where it's poised to have the most dramatic impact is in televisions. A high-end LCD HDTV has a contrast ratio of about 30,000:1, whereas LED LCDs have contrast ratios between 1,000,000:1 and 2,000,000:1. Power consumption and weight savings of LED-backlit LCDs are between 30 and 50 percent, and these savings translate into very attractive form factors—the latest LED LCD TVs from Sharp and others are only a little over 1 inch thick, despite their large (46 inch and up) screen sizes. Research firm iSuppli recently predicted that the percentage of these LED-backlit TVs will grow from 3 percent of TV sales in 2009 to 39 percent in 2013. With LED LCD poised to dominate at ever larger screen sizes, the smaller end of the screen size spectrum will soon belong to organic LED (OLED). The viewing angle for OLED screens is very wide, and it derives its unique visual effect from the fact that each individual pixel on the screen consists of a glowing LED. So, unlike even the LED LCD technology, an OLED needs no backlighting because the pixel grid itself is an array of colored lights. Such "active-matrix" OLED displays are also brighter than active-matrix LCD technology (TFT-LCD), and they maintain 100 percent of their color gamut at all gray levels. Not only do OLED screens have every other screen technology beat in the contrast and brightness departments, they're also thinner. Sony's 11-inch XEL-1 is currently the only commercially available OLED TV, and it boasts a thickness of 3 millimeters. LG has announced a 15-inch OLED TV that will be a scant 0.85 millimeters thick, which will launch Korea at the end of this year. You might think that with all of these benefits, OLED would be poised to take the living room by storm and put the brakes on the aforementioned LED LCD HDTV trend. Unfortunately, OLED has been confined to small screen sizes, and that will probably continue to be the case for a while. There are a few problems that need to be solved before OLED screens can be fabricated at larger sizes. Once those problems are solved, and they soon will be, then biggest obstacle of all looms: Costly fabrication facilities will need to be built, and that takes either money, which cash-strapped companies are hoarding right now, or credit, which is still hard to come by. But once credit loosens up and those fabs come online, OLED will finally be able to break out of its small-screen niche. Ultimately, OLED has potential applications far beyond HDTV. OLED displays can be printed on a flexible plastic substrate, and foldable screens with the thickness of a credit card have already been demonstrated at CES 2009. Clear OLED screens will also eventually be possible, so that a window in your house could double as a TV screen. While thin, flexible OLED displays will be put to some novel uses when they arrive, they probably won't replace the printed page—that job will fall to E-Ink technology, which is already used by Amazon's Kindle and competing e-book readers from Sony and others. Right now, most E-Ink users are reading books and periodicals with the technology, but soon, business users will be able to eliminate most of their laser printing by viewing word processor files, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other business documents on an 8½ x 11 E-Ink screen. Indeed, Amazon's Kindle DX is aimed at precisely this type of application, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos made clear at the product's launch that he had priced it to compete with laser printer ink refills. E-Ink works by embedding a grid of particles on a page; these particles are black on one side, and white on the other, and applying an electrical charge to them causes them to flip. Because an E-Ink screen only uses electricity when it is being changed or refreshed, devices based on the technology have excellent battery life. (The display is typically the largest power draw in a modern mobile device.) E-Ink's ultra-low power usage and daylight readability make it an ideal replacement for printing in another application: signs. Signs in grocery stores for displaying product prices and specials were among the earliest commercial uses for E-Ink, and as the technology gets cheaper and gains new features like color and faster refresh times, it will see more widespread use in such signage applications. 2009 is the first year that we're really seeing all of the display types mentioned here—LED LCD, OLED, E-Ink, and legacy CFL LCD, plasma and others—all coexist in the market and establish themselves in their respective niches. Each of these technologies has its own development track, backers, and ideal use cases, and in some applications they'll compete with one another. But by the end of this year, many early-adopter households will have at least one example of each display type, all finding different uses. Clearly, the future of display belongs not to one technology, but to many.
