In India, students are learning ancient Vedic “tricks” for mathematics: Modern Students Devour Old Math
Microsoft’s new technology, Surface, looks really cool. I remember watching this video a while ago. Microsoft likely bought that technology, or possibly ripped it entirely. One wonders how they will screw it up. Apple already has at least one multi-touch device on the way, with the iPhone. I’m hoping a convertible touch-screen tablet MacBook pro is in the future. That would be awesome for tons of applications.
And lastly, to add to the pile of projects I haven’t yet started, I want to make one of these.
Edit: Regarding Vedic Math, commenter Sneha Mantri mentions vedicmathsindia.org, which seems to be a commercial website, but offers free material as well. I’ve also been checking out the related blog, which has some great stuff.
