A new technology is being developed to help the blind see in a rather peculiar way.
A group is putting together a funeral for IE6 given a recent announcement from Google stating they were pulling support for the browser from their applications. Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury…
So NASA is prototyping a one-man plane. Technical mumbo below. While the idea itself isn’t necessarily a trashed idea, the video with it is questionable. Conceptual design focusing on the ability of a redundant electric propulsion system to provide new capabilities for Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft. Specifically utilizing electric motor variable rpm to accomplish…
A truly interactive user interface has long been the fantasy of many a nerd. Using actual hand gestures that are interpreted into commands isn’t something that’s necessarily new, however most systems are structured around very rigid interpretation and often only works with specific scenarios, much like most of Apple’s product presentations. However, this latest video…
Now I know what you’re thinking. What would I do with a study guide to nueroscience? Why would that interest me? I have an answer. The answer is… IT’S FULL OF KITTENS! Yes, a study guide to neuroscience that involves cats. You may be shaking your head at this, but keep in mind, when that…

Admittedly, these people are talking all about theoretical mumbo jumbo, as the planck length has not yet been proven. However, it is fun for all those existentialists out there who are kept up wondering these ridiculous thoughts. Well here’s one more for you to ponder. For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their…
I’m not sure why, but I am fascinated by advancements in technology to help the disabled. I’ve posted about prosthetic limbs that actually hooked up to the nerves, but now there is a new patent for bionic walking legs. The japanese have been working on something like this for a while, but I couldn’t find…
I have often been of the belief that mobile technology is fluff. The technology is neat, but the prices and contracts required to enjoy this stuff is more devastating when you see the final price. Mobile technology has improved leaps and bounds, but the prices are generally the same. At BillShrink, they did a comparison…
A really fun and groovy song should only naturally have an equally fun and groovy video. Goldfish accomplished. They are some nu-jazz from South Africa. Give them a listen.
