Xperia Walkman works with ROCKI using Throw

Since we took receipt of ROCKI we have been playing around with what does and doesnt work. One bonus is that +Sony Xperia  Walkman app on Xperia phones also works well using "Throw" 

Open your Walkman app and select the throw icon in the top right and select your ROCKI, then have fun firing your music to your speakers. 

If you need the walkman app then you can find "versions" of the apk on various internet sources, so use those at your own risk, and of course the copyright / legal issues that follow.

British Navy Developing Invisible Ships Using Metamaterials

Scientists at the Britannia Royal Navy College are working hard to make the idea of an invisible ship a reality using metamaterials that refract light in such a way that it "bends" around an object, making it appear as if it were invisible.

This would only account for viewing with the naked eye however—naturally radar cloaking would be an important part of the equation. However, it appears that this technology may be able to accomplish a lot more.

Chris Lavers, a senior lecturer in remote sensing and sensors technology at the college believes that nanomaterials could help render the next generation of ships invisible to the naked eye, radar, and even heat seeking missiles—all while being completely quiet and impossible to detect based on their impact on the Earths magnetic field. This isnt the first time we have heard about invisibility cloaking using similar methods, so heres hoping that something actually comes of it in the near future.
