Cool things

Some miscellaneous things I’ve heard of lately and thought were cool:

gmailfs lets you use your gmail account as a storage device.

In the “Well, that’s counter-intuitive” department, Sony has developed a new black projector screen. It only reflects the pure red, blue, and green frequencies of a video projector, which results in a better picture than a white screen that’s reflecting everything, including ambient light. (I figure some time in the next several years, I’ll get a video projector, skipping all these large-screen TV interim measures… but I’m in no hurry.)

Is your computer noisy? There are now silent, fanless computers — they have aluminum cooling fins all down both sides (and aren’t the highest-powered machines around — but not many people actually have much use for a high-end machine.)
