Butterfly Wings Offer Guiding Light for Nanotech Innovation

The Morpho butterfly's highly evolved wings are so unique that scientists at Simon Fraser University have teamed up with NanoTech Security to reproduce their iridescent blue coloring for a new anti-counterfeiting technology. A clever pairing of nanotechnology and entomology used nanoscale microscopic holes that interact with light to reproduce the butterfly's shimmering signature.

Essay is a rich text editor for the iPad. Apple’s tablet has plenty of plain text editors, with all manner of special features, but unless you go for the more complex apps like Pages, or entire office-suites like Documents To Go, then you can’t add simple things like italics or headlines to your work.

Enchanted Keyfinder quickly discover or change your Windows and Office product keys

We've all been there: you need to reinstall Windows or Office, but you can't find the blasted product key! Perhaps you've mislaid the disc's paper wallet, or more commonly the sticker on the bottom of your laptop has been rubbed off. The only solution, other than grabbing a pirate version, is to use a tool like Enchanted Keyfinder.

Enchanted Keyfinder, which is free, open-source, and only 400KB big, does just two things: it shows you the product keys for your Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2K, XP, Vista and 7) and Office (2007 and 2010) installations -- and in the case of Windows XP, it also lets you change your product key. If you have a broken Windows installation, you can also use Enchanted Keyfinder with a Linux live CD; neat. There's also the option to export your product keys to a flat text file, which is probably a good idea!

In the next version, the developer wants to add remote registry access, which could be a handy tool for a system administrator. He also wants to add serial key snooping for other programs. Incidentally, if you're looking for a tool that can extract product keys from programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver, Softkey Revealer is still going strong!

First, the things that have stayed the same. The CX5 keeps the 10MP backlit sensor, the 28-300mm (35mm equivalent) sensor, the 3-inch, 920,000-dot screen and of course the same [...]
