Fraunhofer's Kolibri Cordless sensor snaps 3D images on the go

Sure, it might look like a Viewmaster 3D from your childhood, but this here stripe projection 3D sensor from Fraunhofer IOF is so much less exciting. The concept is simple enough: the Kolibri projects a stripe pattern onto the subject, and then the two "eyes" capture slightly distinct angles of the image to compose a 3D model of the object based on the deducted geometry. The technology has been available for a while, but this is apparently the first device to cram it into such a small and portable form factor. Yeah... we'll stick with the Viewmaster.[Via About Projectors]

New Google Docs Features - Offline Editing, YouTube Video Embeds
Using the Google Gears extension in Firefox or IE, you can now view or edit existing documents in Google Docs without requiring an always-on Internet connection - it is however not possible to create new word documents while you are offline in Google Docs.
And any changes that you make to the documents locally will automatically get synched to Google Docs the next time you connect to the Internet.
Details on Google Blog. Scoble at Fastcompany.tv has an interview with Ken Norton of the Google Docs team where they discuss issues like two people editing the same document concurrently but in offline mode. Some more thoughts:
Rafe - "Offline access for Google’s spreadsheet and presentation app will follow after the word processor rollout is complete."
Kevin - "While folks at the Google are messing with Google Gears: any chance for Safari or Opera support? There’s more to the web than IE and Firefox."
Mathew - "Zoho’s services are great, and I use Zoho Show in particular a fair bit, but when it comes to trusting a company with my data I would have to come down on the side of Google."
Josh - "So what has been taking Google so long? Why isn’t it eating its own dogfood and releasing more of its web apps with Gears support? What about Gmail? "
Zoho already supports offline access via the same Google Gears plugin. See full list of Google Gears compatible web applications.

Political Blogs Spread More Link Love Than Tech & Gadget Blogs
These visuals represent the interactions among the blogging community.
The dense core at the center of the left figure represents those few thousand blogs that get the maximum link love. The visualization on the right is even more interesting.
You can divide that core into two regions - political blogs (in pink) and technology / gadget blogs. The pink lines represent reciprocal links or blogs linking to each each.
The researcher notes an apparent difference in culture between the tech and political blogs - the pink lines are much denser among the political blogs than they are among blogs focused on technology.
