101: How to use NFC
If you’ve purchased an Android phone within the last year and a half, the chances are pretty high that your phone came with an underused piece of technology called near field communication (NFC). Until the payment gateway companies and the carriers can figure out how to get along, it’s going to be a little while before the dominant purpose for NFC chips in our phones are for secure payments. Before we are paying all our bills with our phones, there are still many uses for NFC, you just need to know how to unlock its potential. If you’re trying to figure out how to use NFC, you’ve come to the right place. This article will walk through how NFC is used on Android phones, how you can write your own NFC tags for use with any device (smartphone or otherwise), and explain just what NFC can be used for today.

Unison File Synchronizer
Unison is a file-synchronization tool for OSX, Unix, and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Unison shares a number of features with tools such as configuration management packages (CVS, PRCS, Subversion, BitKeeper, etc.), distributed filesystems (Coda, etc.), uni-directional mirroring utilities (rsync, etc.), and other synchronizers (Intellisync, Reconcile, etc).
Kinect-like technology turns any surface into a touchscreen
Imagine a world where any surface could potentially become a touchscreen for your phone: your hands, clothes, a wall or table. That's the vision behind a new Kinect-like technology called OmniTouch, a wearable system that projects any multi-touch interface onto everyday surfaces, reports New Scientist. Perhaps the most convenient aspect of the technology is how it can be operated on the go, requiring no special calibration for each new surface it is used on. The system adapts easily to surfaces of most textures in 3D space, so it works even when the surface is not flat, such as with your hand, or perhaps a tree trunk.
