InFocus Reveals New Eco-Friendly Projectors

By Dena Cassella Published January 7, 2010

InFocus Corp. is debuting five new extra bright, entry-level priced projectors in its IN2100 and IN3100 series. The new projectors feature increased zoom capabilities, true-to-life colors, and 3000-3500 lumens, specs that the company claims will be perfect for any classroom or business. InFocus claims the projectors in the IN2100 and IN3100 series also offer a green-friendly Eco Mode for lower power consumption.

“With the adoption of flat panels in schools and businesses, expectations for what’s ‘bright enough’ have changed,” said Robert Detwiler, product manager at InFocus. “For the IN2100 and IN3100 series, we have dramatically increased brightness and coupled it with the performance characteristics of some of our best-selling projectors for brilliant, large-scale projection at affordable price points.”

The IN2112, IN2114 and IN3114 projectors are available now. The IN2116 and IN3116 will be available in Q1, 2010. Contact InFocus for pricing and availability.

I’ll be honest with you. Three minutes of weightlessness for the price of a very nice house sounds absurd to me. Even so, hundreds of people have already lined up to experience it.

Most recently, Virgin Galactic unveiled Apeiron, the first spaceplane in its new Delta class. The company flew it from its Arizona factory to Spaceport America in New Mexico, where it will begin flight testing.

AI bots are now trying to sabotage public health policies, like banning disposable vapes

Thousands of AI bots voted in a public health poll to block sales restriction on disposable vapes. It's like Big Tobacco is back from the dead.

In the broad context of AI and its perceived harms, health and medical risks often pop up in the conversation. The warnings even come from frontier AI labs, such as ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Anthropic, both of which have warned about misusing AI to cook up bioweapons. Security experts have already spotted a few such incidents in the wild, especially with the usage of AI models without any solid guardrails.

Well, it appears that the risks run deeper. As per an analysis appearing in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), AI bots are now being deployed to influence public policies governing health risks to citizens. In this instance, an attempt was made using AI bots to thwart regulations that aim to restrict the sale of disposable vapes, all while disguising the manipulation efforts as a response from real humans.
