Someday We May Be Surfing With Our Eyes Closed
Another fascinating research story from University of Washington. I saw this article on Washington Post’s Web site that I had to share.
“Move over, Bionic Man. Engineers at the University of Washington in Seattle have come up with a nanotech device that Steve Austin would have loved: a contact lens that displays images, letting a person surf the Web, read e-mail, scan a spreadsheet or play a video game, all without using a computer screen.
The lens has not undergone human trials, but it has been tested on rabbits for up to 20 minutes without ill effects.”

Does anyone know how I can tell if my slow broadband connection is down to my pc or my broadband provider (Tiscali)? I ran a speed test here http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/broadband/speedtest/ and it tells me I have a download speed of 2.06Mbs and an upload speed of 243 Kbps. My laptop a dell Inspiron 8600, is about 3-4 years old some and I have Windows and is running Windows 2000.
Any or advice help would be greatly appreciated!
