New Minority Report Digital Signage, Dark Knight sells out, Shooting stars in August and what is Cloud Computing anyway?

Sci Fi Pool Highlights for 18th July Include:
  • Minority Report becomes a reality - one of the last big technologies in Minority Report is finally here .. we have already had the touchless screens, the tracking sensors which activate when you are near, but now they have got a lot closer to what we saw in the film with screens actually identifying age and gender and bespoking content ... all we need now is 3 pre-cogs and a bath full of goo ...
  • Dark Knight is sell out - It's had a lot of hype, especially around Heath Ledger (unfortunately) and it looks like it is pulling them in
  • Shooting stars in August - if you are going to miss the Solar Eclipse then how about shooting star spotting a week later?
  • Cloud Computing disagreement on definition - the new buzz phrase in computing ... except no-one seems to really know what it is exactly ... and if the experts can;t agree then what hope have the rest of us got?
