"This is the toilet that was personally owned AND used by J.D. Salinger for many years! It sat in his home in Cornish, New Hampshire, and was installed in the 'new wing' of his house. When he died, his wife inherited all of his manuscripts with plans to eventually release some of them! Who knows how many of these stories were thought up and written while Salinger sat on this throne! This vintage toilet is from 1962 and is dated under the lid. It will come to you uncleaned and in it's original condition when it was removed from Salinger's old home! It will also include a letter from Joan Littlefield. Her and her husband are the new owners of Salinger's house and are the ones who had the toilet removed and replaced. It is dated April 16, 2010. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history!!(via MeFi)

"We applied mixed reality (MR) consist of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, in which electronically-generated dynamic 3D images are superimposed on the actual space in front of the surgeon, on the patient's operative field or the surface of the abdomen, and evaluated such a system as a reference for surgical navigation and education. First we performed MDCT and generated anatomical VR imaging using DICOM viewer OsiriX and previewed on the patient body surface of the operative field from the projector as MR navigation ..."
"Bei dem von ihm entwickelten Verfahren werden drei monochrome Fotoplatten in schneller Abfolge mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Farbfiltern (Rot, Grün und Blau) aufgenommen. Durch die Projektion aller drei Platten mit Hilfe des dem Farbfilter entsprechenden Lichts entstand eine farbige Abbildung des fotografierten Originals. Man konnte jedoch die so entstandenen Bilder nicht auf Fotopapier entwickeln ... Vom Zaren Nikolaus II. mit einer in einem Waggon installierten Dunkelkammer ausgestattet und mit zwei Genehmigungen für das Betreten von Sperrgebieten versehen, begann Prokudin-Gorski 1909 mit seiner fotografischen Arbeit, die er 1915 abschloss ..."
"In the heyday of holography, back in the 1970s, there were four schools dedicated to the holographic arts around the world, and five studios in New York City alone. Today, there are only a few left in the world ... Jason Sapan, as his birth certificate calls him, is sort of like a laser Doc Brown, and his cluttered New York studio-laboratory ... feels something like a time machine, a living ode to a seemingly obsolete art ... His laser lighting has been used at the original Studio 54, on CBS, in print advertising for Macy’s and Revlon, on Broadway, for book and magazine covers, and graphics at the original Studio 54, and a number of music videos, including a starring role in one by Flock of Seagulls, which landed him the first on-air credit in a video on MTV. ... While moving holograms that float in midair remain the stuff of science-fiction, Doctor Laser has pieced together a reality that’s much stranger: that studio in Midtown Manhattan, tucked into a former blacksmith’s forge, is a veritable wonder cabinet of dancing 3D imagery, flashing lasers and homemade holography equipment. He revels in that DIY-ness ..." Doctor Laser: Inside the Wondrous Lab of One of the World's Last Holographers
