- Grammar checking is now available in OpenOffice.org Writer. Therefore the former dialog gets extended to handle grammar checking too. The dialog is now also able to show a vendor logo as a bitmap and name in the dialog title.
- As practice has shown, it is a quite common case that OOo is used to edit documents of alien formats on network. Unfortunately it looks to be impossible to let the file be locked using file system locking, since it does not work in heterogeneous file systems as expected, and the mentioned scenario has been recognized as very important one. Thus the locking mechanics of OOo is not recognizable for third-party applications, except they implement support for OOo locking mechanics. The implementation in childworkspace fwk94 let the alien files be locked using the OOo file locking mechanics as well. That solves at least the cases when a file of alien format is edited only by OOo3.x in network.

![Scientists are getting very close to creating an actual invisibility cloak, as separate research teams over the past week have revealed significant advancements in the area. From an invisibility cloak scaled up to be able to hide a person to a quantum invisibility cloak that can hide objects in time, there is no better moment for fans of H.G. Wells and the Harry Potter franchise than this one. The invisibility cloak that uses time was designed by Purdue University scientists. Unlike the spatial cloak we all saw in Harry Potter, this device uses time cloaking, a relatively new concept based on the idea that in some places in time, the things that happen are not picked up. Since nobody can tell that these things occurred, it’s like they never happened. The concept still has a long way to go before it turns into reality, although scientists have been able to cloak small electrical signals so far. The technology may be difficult to grasp, yet researchers think that if successful , it will be a major breakthrough in making quantum information computing and storage very successful. Another research team, meanwhile, detailed how to make an invisibility cloak to hide large objects, including a person. The New York University of Rochester scientists used a conventional arrangement of lenses and mirrors to drive the light around the area they want to hide from view. The human-scale cloak also manages the impressive feat of hiding items across the entire optical range. But it still faces one major problem: that is only works in one direction, which means the hidden object becomes visible if the viewpoint changes. Nonetheless, this large-scale cloak could be successfully used to hide satellites in orbit and other huge objects. And a Shanghai-based team of researchers unveiled another invisibility cloak which they claim can be adjusted to make items invisible from any line of sight. The scientists demonstrated the cloak by making a pet goldfish and a cat disappear. According to the Chinese team, the device may have important applications in security, surveillance and entertainment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNO9-DYCi2U With all the new ideas and research, it seems we will see an actual invisibility cloak in use very soon. What do you think of this technology? What would you do if you had your very own invisibility cloak?
