This one just looks awsome, like the first music gameboy.

it reminds me somehow that music has to be "play" _ed.

link: tonori-on site, uk-site

now to the facts...

The tenori-on a 'visible music interface', or a digital music instrument featuring a 16x16 matrix of LED lights, allowing even non-musicians to play sounds & improvise intuitively. each LED light also functions as a touch-sensitive switch that is capable of emulating related sounds when touched. when users push a switch a short time, a ripple of light & sound spreads out. when a switch is held longer, the light dot & sound will be played repeatedly (looped). several tenori-ons can be wirelessly connected & synchronized

MOVINO s a collection of open source applications for streaming and broadcasting live video from phones.

It was developed during a project course at the Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland.

the cool thing is, the software uses the camera of your phone and streams it to a bluetooth enabled computer or directly to a host via tcp/ip. u can even forward the videosignal into skype. but the whole package includes more...

* A client for Symbian Series 60 smartphones

* A client for J2ME camera phones

* A GUI application and a QuickTime component for OS X

* A video server for Linux

* A web interface based on the Drupal CMS

(Error Level Analysis. The bright area indicates where the image has been manipulated)

Dr. Neal Krawetz presented a software tool that is able to detect if an image has been digitally processed using format- and image-analysing technics @ this years BlackHat Convention.

It is actually possible to determine the last "tool" that created the image ---> this means u can tell the camera model if its the original image or the version of photoshop that has been used to alter the image.

see his blog for more examples.

Pdf slides of Krawetz s presentation @ BlackHat (35mb / this document explains the basic techniques used & is not2geeky)
