WASHINGTON: Scientists have developed 'smart glasses' with liquid-based lenses that flex to refocus on whatever the wearer is viewing. The glasses, developed by researchers at the University of Utah , are designed to mimic the behaviour of the eye's natural lens - flexing to focus on wherever an individual is looking: Near, far or in-between. Unfortunately for many of us, as we age our lenses become stiffer and lose the ability to bend enough to focus at different distances. Standard glasses compensate for the bend our ageing eyes can no longer achieve to focus. This becomes more complicated if we are unable to focus at multiple distances, which necessitates glasses with multiple lenses for different distances, such as bifocals, trifocals or progressive lenses, which must be regularly replaced as our eyesight changes. The central technology of the glasses created by the research team are lenses made of glycerin, a clear thick liquid sandwiched betw...

Risks with Cloud Computing

Risks with Cloud Computing: The Term cloud computing has grown in popularity recently, but few agree on what it truly means. For the purpose of the Security+ Exam, cloud computing means hosting services and data on the Internet instead of hosting it locally. Some examples of this include running office suite applications such as Office 365 or Google Docs from the Web instead of having similar application installed on each workstation; storing data on server space, such as Google Drive, SkyDrive, or Amazon Web Services; and using cloud-based sites such as Salesforce.com. From an exam standpoint, there are three different ways of implementing cloud computing: Platform as a Service: The Platform as a Service (PaaS) model is also known as cloud platform services. In this model, vendors allow apps to be created and run on their infrastructure. Two well-known models of this implementation are Amazon Web Services and Google Code. S...
