I recently saw an very good piece on eye laser surgery in "Fortune". You can not read it online, but nethertheless you can learn more here. It basically says thatthere is a boom in laser eye surgery and that this will be the most common surgery soon. They claim that it is possible to achieve near-perfect sight now, but in 2-3 years, it should be possible to get more-than-perfect sight. The main problem is to hold the eye rigid during the surgery. Now omeone has invented a radar system which scans the eye 4000 times a second. The laser can then follow all eye movements and therefore cut a perfect circle. This should correct the "glare" some people have around their sight after the surgery (because of uneven cuts).
Hi, I recently saw this article about a guy who overclocked his Pentium III to 993 MHz. Interesting reading, -150 degree Celsius cooling involved. Article is in German, babelfish it.
