Friday Fun: Mobile fish tank

Hackaday told some days ago that a machine vision company Studio diip based in The Netherlands has created  an interesting fish on wheels, a robotic car controlled by a goldfish. The system appears to work pretty well on the video. This is quite funny looking system. A Logitech 9X0 series camera captures overhead images of the

Linux TTY

The TTY subsystem is central to the design of Linux, and UNIX in general. The TTY system in Linux is a throwback to when computers first because interactive in real-time,but is still very much relevant today.

The UNO Overdrive article shows The Uno/Dumilanove Overdrive,

Map of submarine telecom cables

The international backbone of Internet is largely based on a network submarine fiber optic cables. There are lots of them.  TeleGeography’s free interactive Submarine Cable Map is based on Global Bandwidth research, and depicts active and planned submarine cable systems and their landing stations. Selecting a cable on the map projection provides access to the cable’s

Information leaking on apps, pictures and video

It seem that you are almost always leaking some information without you knowing about them. Tracking the users is the invisible business that funds the web. Also spies target ‘leaky’ phone apps because they transmit users’ private information across the Internet. Also photos can reveal more information that you can see with your eyes. Your

Chrome + LEGO: You can build whatever you like
