Instead of the complex hardware required to produce holograms, the Media Lab system, dubbed a Tensor Display, uses several layers of liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), the technology currently found in most flat-panel TVs. To produce a convincing 3-D illusion, the LCDs would need to refresh at a rate of about 360 times a second, or 360 hertz. Such displays may not be far off: LCD TVs that boast 240-hertz refresh rates have already appeared on the market, just a few years after 120-hertz TVs made their debut.

Microsoft has not said exactly what the now-untrusted certificates were used for, but company officials said there were a total of 28 certificates affected by the move. Many of the affected certificates are listed simply as “Microsoft Online Svcs”. However, the company said that it was confident that none of them had been compromised or used maliciously. The move to revoke trust in these certificates is a direct result of the investigation into the Flame malware and how the attackers were able to forge a Microsoft certificate and then use it to impersonate a Windows Update server.

Huawei has been around for a quarter century, but it entered the U.S. market with a mobile device only in 2007. It has historically been known as a manufacturer of telecom network infrastructure. Locally, the company made headlines early last year when it sued Motorola Solutions Inc. over the Schaumburg company’s sale of its networks business to Nokia Siemens Networks. Huawei, which had developed network technology to resell under the Motorola brand, said the deal would transfer its trade secrets to a major rival. Motorola also had sued Huawei for alleged theft of trade secrets. The two companies agreed to settle all pending litigation in April 2011, allowing the transaction with Nokia Siemens to close.
