“The figures were revealed in a just released report from Point Topic, the London based market research group that tracks the broadband business worldwide.

“Most value-added services delivered over broadband increased in both users and total revenues. Services such as video over broadband, music and voice over IP (VoIP) all grew strongly” said John Bosnell, senior analyst at Point Topic and lead author of the report on the Consumer BVAS market.

According to the report the number of consumer broadband lines grew about 45 percent to 131 million, while consumer broadband access revenues increased by about 22 percent to $39 billion.

Price cuts by both DSL and cable operators were partly to blame for revenues growing slower than the number of lines. ”

Sony has shrunk its glasses-free 3D technology into a tiny screen, and it can bring anime characters to life on your desk
It's almost like having a digital, three-dimensional companion on your desk.
Sony's smaller 3D display for desk

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited.

The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony).

3D-printed ghost guns are a notorious blind spot. Scientists may have finally cracked the traceability problem
The plastic used to make these weapons could hold clues that conventional forensic methods often miss.

Most conventional firearms come with serial numbers and leave unique microscopic markings on bullets and cartridge cases when fired. Investigators can use these clues to trace weapons or connect them to crimes. However, 3D-printed firearms, commonly called ghost guns, present a different challenge. They can be manufactured without serial numbers, and their unconventional construction can make traditional forensic analysis more difficult.

Now, researchers in Australia may have found another way to trace these weapons, using clues hidden in the plastic they're made from.
