TOKYO - Scientists from Fujitsu Ltd. and The University of Tokyo have developed a laser that is capable of maintaining a stable output over a wide temperature range at speeds and frequencies useful for optical communications, the research team said Friday. The device could enable the creation of optical networking equipment that is smaller, cheaper and consumes less power than current devices, the leader of the research team said.

Here is a new release of Crystal Space 0.98r004. Crystal Space is an Open Source and feature rich 3D Engine which runs on Linux, Windows, and MacOS/X.    Lots has changed since 0.96 (see http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=649&release_id=266198). This is the fourth release of 0.98. This version should now be very stable. Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=649&package_id=664&release_id=266198 to download Crystal Space.   Greetings,

It's an idea that was popularized by Princess Leia's plea for help in Star Wars: sending a 3-D hologram. Now, two Japanese scientists have developed technology they hope will one day turn the humble telephone booth into a high-tech chamber for beaming holographic images.
