Airport Express & LAN

Today I wanna share with you a tip on how to configure the Airport Express to create a NATted network and share the same public IP through all the computers connected to the LAN.

In this way you can have a bit of more security toward the outside computers on the internet.

The creation of a local area network is really easy using the Airport Express, and if you want to use it to connect just a computer to internet through a modem it is straight forward:

• connect the modem to the rear WAN port of the Airport
• connect your RJ45 cable to the Airport switch or go wireless
• turn on the Airport and it will perform all the adjustment to find the internet connection and configure it as a bridge for connecting the computer to the internet.

In this way each computer (configured in DHCP) will have an IP assigned by the router.

To create the NATted network with the Airport Extreme and hide your computers from the outside internet network open the Utility Airport on your Mac or Windows Machine and go to the Internet tab and select “Share a public IP address” from the “Connection sharing” combo like in figure below.

In this way the Airport Express will assign the IPs to the connected computers and outside the network will be seen as a single connected computer, hiding the others.

MAF v3 Framework (Part 2)
The cross-platform MAF Event Bus make use of Qt Signal/Slot to dispatch events between objects locally and remotely. Qt mechanism has been extended to manage also a remote communication transparently to the EventBus users and decouple the sender from the receiver allowing sending events remotely using different network connectors expandable through the strategy pattern.

f8 Conference

Today I watched Mark Zuckerberg presenting at the f8 Conference (recorded on 21st April 2010).
It was very interesting to listen on how Internet could become with connections between different social network. We could have a better social experience and retrieve information from the Internet in a manner that is tailored just for us.

Enjoy the movie and thanks for reading :)

Touch screen on skin

Researchers at Microsoft are working on ways to bring about any type of surface (in this case the skin) touch screen technology.
To achieve this goal, the researchers used a pico-projector and a special microphone that allows you to intercept the pressure on the skin through your fingers. The system is called Skinput.

The projector can display the user interface, while the microphone determines the position based on the physical principle of transmission of waves transmitted through the body.
The video below shows how to create touch screen interface using the arm of a person as a "screen" touch.

Man Machine integration

Kevin Warwick in this video talk about an interesting point of view about man-machine integration as a way to expand our knowledge and potentials.
Human race can be more powerful and can see things in different way and with different perspectives if it accepts a mix artificial intelligence, robotics and implants.
Take a look at this fascinating video of professor Warwick at University of Reading's Cybernetics.
