Nano-projector turns phone into a cinema
A tiny colour projector designed to be used with mobile phones, handheld devices and PDAs has successfully passed its first batch of tests.
Israel-based Explay says its nano-projector engine is a hundred times smaller and more efficient than rival technology.
The projector, little larger than a matchbox, will take images from a portable device and display them at any size up to 35ins on a wall or screen.

Kind of BlueÂOlivier Threaux writes from the Quality Assurance BlogÂ
It’s fashion season! The ubiquitous “valid” icons, present at the bottom of about half a trillion Web pages in their signature “gold” color, now also come in W3C-ish blue.
In addition to the usual two raster image formats (PNG and GIF), the icons are now also available as vector graphics (SVG and EPS).
The full list can be browsed on the W3C QA website.

Have Your Say about the Future of HTML
By Molly E. Holzschlag
This article has been written on behalf of the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) and has been cross posted on The Web Standards Project, Lachys Log, Molly.com and 456 Berea Street.
There has been a lot of discussion about the W3Cs recent decision to continue the development of HTML around the web lately. Blog posts, and messages that have been sent to mailing lists or posted on forums, revealed many questions and misconceptions about the future of HTML (including HTML 5 and XHTML 2), the WHATWG and the W3Cs new HTML Working Group.
Some people asked for new features; others were wondering if formerly deprecated elements would return; some had comments and criticisms about the decision itself, the WHATWG or W3C process; and a few raised concerns about the WHATWG and W3C ignoring the needs of particular groups. The WHATWG, who are in the process of developing the next version of HTML (called HTML 5), feel that it’s important to not only listen to all of this feedback, but to actively seek it out and respond so that we can develop a language that meets your needs.
There are many ways in which you can participate. The most direct approach is to make your voice heard by subscribing to the mailing list. However, not everyone has the time to participate, or keep up with the high volume of messages sent to that list. Some people feel that the current drafts of HTML 5 (Web Applications and Web Forms) are rather daunting. Others feel that because they can not afford the substantial W3C membership fees, they would not be listened to anyway.
