Did you know that most laser pointers are illegal?

Legend has it that there was a time when laser pointers were used mostly to mark blackboards and similar things. Today, pointers are used mainly to distract cats and other activities as point them to the cinema screen or annoy a goalkeeper during a football match. There are even some that can leave us blind in an instant and / or burn skin.

At least in the U.S., much of the laser pointers are illegal because it exceeded the power limits allowed. A study reveals that 90% of green laser pointers over the limit and 40% of the red pointers do too. Overall, only 25% of the pointers can be considered legal .

Why is so important the whole thing? Because these small devices can really leave us blind, not to mention the various legal matters that can be given as to target them to the aircraft, which was banned last year.

We must be careful when using one of these. Remember to use it only to guide a PowerPoint or similar tasks.

This optical fiber transfers data at nearly the speed of light

The optical fiber is very rapid, indeed, is faster than any other type of connection when data is transferred. At the University of Southampton , UK, has been created an optical fiber unusual. It is a hollow fiber having air inside and is capable of transferring data at nearly the speed of light . More precisely, fails to reach 99.7% of that speed.

To give us an idea, this transfer rate is about 10 terabytes per second. Exactly, 10TB / s, ie about 1000 times faster than the best optical fibers found in the market today.

You probably already have heard before about the hollow optical fiber cables. The idea has been around for a while but always detected data loss when wires must make a curve. People at the University of Southampton has managed to minimize the loss of data and has a transfer at lightning speeds.

We should not get excited yet. This connection will be available to us recently in several years.Initially is expected to be used in data centers and governmental and scientific supercomputers.

A rumor suggests that LG Display could be in charge of creating the new screen, and in this case we say that the TV would be launched around the beginning of 2014 or very lucky at the end of this year.

Since 4K TVs are expensive in itself, one of those bearing the logo of Apple undoubtedly would be priced very high and higher than normal.
