Fujitsu develops world's first full HD Train Simulator
![]()
Fujitsu in collaboration with video game and simulator developer Ongakukan has developed the world's first train simulation system using full high-definition video. Through its technical collaboration with video game and simulator developer Ongakukan, Fujitsu was able to develop variable-speed playback technology for high-definition video shot on actual train lines, the first use of this technology in a train simulator. The result is an unprecedented level of realism in train operation simulation, with accurate responses to the trainee-operator's input and high image quality even with variable-speed playback. This gives trainees a better approximation of the operational environment to help improve their skill levels.

How frustrating is it to replay a level again and again, especially when you’re having trouble getting past a certain point. These are the levels when you pause the game go to Gamespot and well use cheat codes. MSNBC has put up the Top 5 hardest levels in video games. Nintendo's Clubhouse Games makes it to the top.

German invents radar deflecting paint
Nickel, 67, a wheelchair-bound amateur inventor from Berlin, decided to concoct a paint to shield tanks, ships and aircraft from radar detection in much the same way that Stealth bombers are invisible. Nickel already had a name for his miracle paint: AR 1. After spending thousands and thousands hours in the laboratory, he finally mixed the paint he was looking for. He sent a can of it to Helmut Essen, a radiation physicist who runs the radar technology department at the Research Establishment for Applied Science (FGAN) near Bonn. Essen examined Nickel's paint and was surprised to learn that it works. When a house, a ship or a car that would usually light up on a radar screen is coated with AR 1, it disappears almost completely into the darkness. Essen hasn't been able to figure out why this happens. It might be because the paint is a type of Jaumann absorber, which reflects incoming radar waves in such a way that they cancel each other out. Or it could have something to do with microscopically minute magnetic particles that absorb the radiation's energy. Sony Ericsson bridges Adobe Flashlite with Java ME
