The good: The Nokia Lumia 920 forges new Windows Phone ground with wireless charging support and a highly sensitive screen you can use with gloves. Moreover, Nokia helps fill in Windows Phone OS gaps with a few missing features.
The bad: A thick, heavy build and slippery finish for some colors make the Lumia 920 harder to hold and carry, and the phone's overhyped camera doesn't have enough settings.
The bottom line: Nokia's Lumia 920 is heavy and thick, but if you want the most powerful, feature-rich Windows phone available, this is it.

BEst phone I have ever had.
by yiannigr on December 28, 2012
Pros: Beautiful screen.
32GB of memory.
Nice camera.
Smooth scrolling.
Resizable tiles.
Unique, and nice Nokia apps, for free.
Cons: A little thick.
Colors on native tiles cannot be changed, think future upgrade Microsoft.
Summary: I must say that I was afraid that I would hate the phone because everybody said it's heavy, I had a Lumia 900, and it is heavier than that....
Summary: I must say that I was afraid that I would hate the phone because everybody said it's heavy, I had a Lumia 900, and it is heavier than that.
Although it is thicker and heavier than other phones, I must say that the weight is niceley distributed, and it does not feel as heavy as one may think.
I had the Luimia 900 cyan, and this time I got the black.
Folks, this is a just a beatiful phone. Whether it's on, or off.
I understand some people when they say that the battery is not removable. Some people, heavy users, may need to pop in another battery. But for the rest of us, I don't think that will be an issue.
What I don't understand, is the people complaining that there is no SD slot.
You realize that you get 32GB of memory right?
Let me say that again. 32GB of memory. It's just feels nice saying it. And you get all that memory for about $200 less, than what other phones in the same category go for.
I like WP8, better than 7.5, and I just love the resizable tiles.
Nice improvements, and hopefully more improvements will come.
As you all may know, not all apps that are available for other platforms, are available here, but most are coming, and more are coming.
The Internet explorer on this tging is fast, much faster than my old Lumia. It's fast enough to notice the difference.
That makes me warm all over.
Did I mention that the screen is just drop dead gorgeous.
Forgive me for being repetitive, but I just can't control myself.
The "fruit phone 4", looks like a midget compared to this, and there is no comparison. This looks like a better phone. Put a case on the "fruit phone 4" and they weight the same.
Compared to the "fruit phone 5", this still looks like the nicer phone. Yes it's lighter, but you need a case.
The other WP8 competitor, seems flimsy by comparison
This is a phone that gets noticed.
It has the power, the storage capacity, the looks, and I love it.

Summary: Have had this about a week and overall really impressed. Nokia has done a real good job with their high end phone. All the features listed above in pros hold true. So far no major technical issues but will like to see how it holds out in the long term.
The only issue, I'm out of battery by 12 hours. You can use power saver settings but the display kills the battery, especially if you use your phone a great deal during the day. For now I'm ok with it, but I am sure this may annoy me over time

Summary: I made the decision to try Windows phone in large part out of curiosity and because I am contrarian. After reading about the Lumia 920, I decided to give it a shot. I love the feel of the phone, and think it looks great.
I do a lot of work on my phone; effective integration with exchange was a necessity. The email works great, both with exchange and with gmail. I prefer it to iOS. I also greatly prefer skydrive to iCloud. It integrates much more easily with windows explorer on my computer, and makes it easy to manage files. Mobile office is nice. Excel works extremely well. I'm less impressed with Word. Powerpoint might as well just be a viewer. IE explorer plays much nicer with secure websites I use for work than does Safari.
As for all the other stuff. The camera is great; my wife who hates that I switched acknowledges that the pictures are better than iphone 4s. I love the live tiles; that feature is what first led me to windows. They are functional and make organizing the start screen easy. It is much less cluttered than my iphone. I like the facebook and twitter apps, and the photo integration with facebook is excellent. I do wish that I could open multiple pages from twitter (I like to open several tabs to read - I've not found a way to do this from twitter as of yet).
The major flaw is the app environment. It's little things that are missing, lots of company apps. The lack of google apps is also annoying.

Camera/video: low-light pictures
Price: $99 for 32GB phone? are you kidding me???
Cons: Camera skews anything near edges.
OS is still lacking maturity.
Apps are still few in between.

Pros: Great camera & screen
Wireless charging
Integration with Skydrive for notes/docs and photos/video
Nokia music
Full GPS navigation as opposed to the wanna be navigation by Apple
"Kids corner" is great if you have kids
No special sw to load music/video
Cons: Push notifications doesn't have a "notification inbox" (like iPhone) your notifications go away if you don't see them when they arrive.
No VPN support for work
Camera white balance is thrown off by fluorescent light

Summary: After spending some time with this device, I have to say this is definitely a phone you should test out o truly understand it. From the superb camera, to the tight Twitter/Facebook integration, Office integration, Nokia Drive(!!!), and more, this phone has a lot of things going for it.
It's a flagship Windows Phone and will be for a while when more applications are available. Not only do you have a variety of cool colors to choose from, the new OS is very customizable and you can truly make this phone your own. A must own, and I would recommend that die-hard Android and iOS users check this thing out.

The phone is great overall...
by mamporrero5 on December 10, 2012
Pros: The audio is great with the dolby sound system. Also WP8 have some apps that makes your life easier. The camera is awesome overall. The screen sensitive is also great.
Cons: Soon there'll be more apps. The camera works great but with the sun light it could be better. The video player has no settings at all, it is only play and pause, and forward 30 seconds. I think that's the only thing that need improvement.
Summary: Great phone if you want to change from android or IOS.

Simplicity and functionality working together.
by hjubara052992 on December 10, 2012
Pros: Camera is great (especially in low light).
Screen is beautiful and sharp. It is also very sensitive.
battery life is pretty good based on how hard I work it.
Nokia exclusive apps are the best apps available in the market and are a necessity.
Cons: Heats up
Many apps still missing from windows 8. Even a lot of the wp7 apps are missing. (This is a temporary problem)
camera auto settings are not always the best. You need to adjust to your surroundings.
Summary: This is the absolute best phone in the market. Nokia went all out on this one. It has a smooth polycarbonate uni body that feels nice in your hands. It ...
Summary: This is the absolute best phone in the market. Nokia went all out on this one. It has a smooth polycarbonate uni body that feels nice in your hands. It looks amazing and beats any other device in design.
It is very unique and the modern UI that windows provides Nokia with is just a great example of software and hardware in harmony. The wp8 platform minimizes the need for apps. The only other necessary apps are provided by Nokia in the Nokia exclusives.
The screen jumps out at you with an amazing resolution and ink like blacks. Looks amazing in sunlight and even works with gloves.
Battery is good enough not to forget the wireless chargers I have at home and at work I never go below 30%.
Skydrive is the most convenient synchronization a phone can have that adds an additional 7GBgb of storage (I have 25GB) It is automatic and everything on my phone is backed up instantly. All my files from my PC are available from my Lumia 920.
I really love this devise. I recommend it to everyone. It is simple, beautiful, innovative, and loaded with functions. I can name many things my Lumia can do that other phones can not, but I have a real hard time thinking of what other devices can do that my Lumia can not.
The NFC accessories are incredible and attractive.
It's price is a lot cheaper than the inferior competition.
Take my advice and do not hesitate to buy this phone.
Windows phone is the future and it will get there through Nokia.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Explosions in the Sky - 'Take Care, Take Care, Take Care'
If you have never dabbled in "post-rock," Explosions in the Sky is a great place to start.
The term post-rock is a pretentious, hard-to-define catch-all for instrumental music made using traditional rock instruments. If post-rock was a tree house, a handwritten "no lead singers allowed" would hang in front, but even that rule isn't set in stone. It's even more remarkable then that Explosions is capable of evoking such a wide breadth of emotions in its listeners without a single vocal cue.
The blueprint for the group is as simple as it is satisfying. Their music is never melody-driven. Instead it relies wholly on structure and the slow build. Most tracks begin by repeating a lonely, melancholy riff. The band slowly layers new melodic ideas into the fold, and the listener shifts their focus to greet the new idea.
The result is what the band calls "cathartic mini-symphonies," and catharsis is the right word. Inevitably, the music gathers momentum and builds to a climax of sheer joy that resolves the early moments of angst and conflict on a high note. Explosions doesn't paint concise portraits with its music; the group paints epic landscapes filled with emotional peaks and valleys.
Everything about Explosions' music is big. Most tracks stretch on for more than seven minutes, and the volume — which ranges from barely audible to overwhelming — forces the listener to fiddle with their iPod just to avoid hearing damage. But the group somehow succeeds in being loud but never noisy.
What this group requires from its listeners is patience. In the same way that standing too close to a painting results in only seeing color blotches, the full scale and shape of this music doesn't present itself until many songs hit their climax often eight-minutes in.
Explosions is best known for their work composing the soundtrack to the "Friday Night Lights" movie and TV show. The band is based out of Austin, but three members of the quartet hail from Midland, Texas, making their music a fitting pairing for the show's West Texas landscapes framed through a hand-held camera.
The band's latest album, "Take Care, Take Care, Take Care" in some ways is a departure from their well-known Friday Night Lights score and previous studio albums. Take Care uses some vocal samples, guitar feedback and a handful of new instruments that bring new colors to the band's music.
Other than that, the structure and dependence on the slow build will be very familiar to fans of the group.
One of the only clues to what the music is about is a note the band wrote on their website saying the album covers a range of topics that the members have experienced in the past four years since their last album including "marriages, babies, friends lost, friends found, illnesses in families, ping pong tournaments, up ands downs, the joy and sadness of everyday life."
Take Care is the sixth album by Explosions and something many acquainted with the band will enjoy. If you're new to the band and the style, it might make more sense to start with an accessible album from the middle of the group's catalogue such as "Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place."
For bands like Explosions who have succeeded in creating something original, die-hard fans will welcome the continuation of a tried-and-true style while critics clamor for the group to reinvent itself. Take Care does not stray far from the music that built Explosions' reputation. Whether that draws the ire from some critics is beside the point. The truth is that the band's career mirrors its music by creating something that is deeply satisfying through subtle and masterful variation.

Chapter One
A man like me is not supposed to have doubts.
Especially not at a time like this, poised in the open fuselage of an Mi-24 assault helicopter, carving a tilted arc around a black square in the grid of lights on Moscow's south side. This is the worst time to be asking myself questions that can't be answered. But lately they're always there, corroding all those things I once believed so intensely. Defend the motherland, secure our southern flank, protect the innocents. Gripping a canvas strap to brace against the force of our turn, I whisper the words in a soundless incantation.
The AMERCO building rises from the darkness, a fiery, open wound torn midway up its south face. Smoke glows in chemical-pink wreaths against the night sky as the helicopter swoops, flares, drops to a hard landing. I leap out while the rotors are still thumping the air in a dying backbeat rhythm.
A policeman jumps in front of me. He shouts something about Chechen terrorists. The blast happened less than an hour ago, he yells, but I already know that and more. I circle my finger in the air impatiently, and he points the way to an improvised command center. Charging away from him toward the burnt skyline, I think that what he should have said is that the first blast is less than an hour old. More explosions might come, because at least two terrorists remain alive.
I am here to change that.
The General's orders, issued over a scrambled satellite phone, ricochet inside my mind. Do not delay. Do not negotiate. Attack. Dead hostages, destroyed property—whatever the costs, they will be less than the price of capitulation. Orders birthed by hard experience fighting a shadowy war against a faceless enemy. Orders that mean I don't have the luxury of doubt.
My path brings me within sight of the blown-out half of the sixth story of the targeted high-rise, the Moscow headquarters of an American oil company. Its southern side gapes like a screaming mouth, bent steel beams and metal studs for a tongue, belching smoke. The damage appears worse from here than it did from the helicopter. Moving faster now, I rush past a staging area for the dead and wounded, set back about a hundred meters from the edge of the zone where rounds from the building might reach. Many of the wounded are missing pieces. Limbs, eyes, and, in the case of one shrieking boy, part of his jaw. Each step drives nails into my left foot—the foot that is not there—a phantom pain, the product of being this close to my old adversaries, entering a world of horror, knowing what is to come.
The millennium Moscow bombings in Pushkin Square left 150 dead, the takeover of the House of Culture Theatre 130, just two among so many others I can't bear to think of them all. The worst for me was the Beslan school massacre, during which 344 died, including 186 children. The architects of many such attacks are dead, some of them killed in operations memorialized by secret medals I've tossed into a cigar box, but others have risen to take their place.
The makeshift command post has been established in the first floor lobby of an office building three blocks away from the one that was bombed. I cross a wide street emptied of traffic. Slam open the steel and glass door. A small group huddled around a folding metal table all turn to stare at me.
"Who's in command?" My voice sounds loud even to my own ears.
"Who wants to know?" Tall, thin, and spectacled, he looks like a haughty professor, although too young to be one. I know his kind at a glance. A staffer, privileged from birth by his family's social position in the old Soviet order. His uniform and red beret identify him as a special forces officer of the internal troops of the FSB—the principal successor of the KGB—but his kind can be found throughout Russia's military, political, and bureaucratic elites.
I throw off my overcoat so that he can see my rank on the tunic beneath. He turns his back to me.
"I'll get with you later, Colonel." He spits out the words as though he's trying to rid his mouth of a bad taste.
He whirls to face me, lips twisted into a snarl. "You'll not speak again until I address you. Is that—"
And I am upon him, wrenching him onto the table. It collapses under his weight and the force of the blow. A laptop crashes to the floor with him as he smacks the marble facedown. I plant the heel of my combat boot on the back of his neck.
"Who is second in command?" I say, so softly that everyone in the room leans forward to hear me.
A florid-faced policeman snaps smartly to attention. "I am, sir. Inspector Barokov."
The FSB officer under my boot struggles to rise. Or to reach a gun. I pull my Sig, bend down, and crunch it against the side of his head to knock him out. Then nod to the inspector to go on.
Still saluting, he tries to draw himself straighter. "The Chechens took the AMERCO offices on the sixth floor. We didn't have time to contact them before a bomb blew. We're lucky the whole building didn't come down. We don't know how many are dead, and we can't get inside."
He waits for a response. I'm not surprised the building still stands. Its bones were erected during Stalin's heyday, when labor was forced at the end of a bayonet and buildings were made of steel, brick, and mortar laced with blood. I flick my right hand toward my brow. He drops his salute, but remains at attention.
"Two terrorists are left on the north side of the sixth floor with maybe ten hostages, depending on how many from the office are still alive."
"How do you know all that?"
"They released a hostage to communicate their demands."
I could not possibly care any less what the terrorists want. In my mind's eye I can see the General's granite features, like a craggy Neanderthal's, his heavy lips moving. Do not negotiate.
Barokov points with his chin to a woman sitting in a reception chair, doubled up with her hands cupping her face. She appears to be crying. All I can see of her is ash-blond hair and a soot-stained pantsuit with a long rip running down the sleeve. Another uniformed FSB officer, a lieutenant, stands stiffly beside her, but he does nothing to question my authority. He roughly jostles her shoulder to get her attention, and she looks up at him, then turns to face me. She has shell-shocked green eyes wet with tears. She's overwrought, nervously fingering a blue pendant swinging from a chain around her neck and looking back and forth from me to the officer.
"You heard what he said?" I ask her. "Two terrorists, ten hostages, sixth floor. That's correct?"
She glances at the officer. "Yes. There were two of them. Both on the sixth floor." Her Russian is bad, with a heavy American accent.
I turn away, gathering my thoughts. "Show me the building layout."
Inspector Barokov unrolls faded, tattered blueprints while others set the table upright and then stand aside, looking everywhere except down at the professorial FSB agent oozing blood onto the polished floor.
"They're here," he says, pointing to a wing of offices toward the middle of the building. "We might be able to get in here." His finger lands on a stairwell that I can see is accessible only by entering the building directly below where the terrorists are thought to be.
I grunt and pull the plans closer, searching for a likelier path, sliding my finger along the crinkled paper to an exterior door on the west side of the building. The portal is tucked beneath an overhang six floors below and roughly thirty-five meters from where the hostages are being held.
"That door will be locked," Barokov says. "And getting there will be a problem. But there are only two of them, so if you can make it inside, the stairs probably won't be guarded."
The lock doesn't bother me. But he's understating the difficulty of getting there. The path to the door will be a scramble through the terrorists' field of fire. The darkness might provide cover, but not if they have night-vision goggles, which they probably do. The American military hands them out in Iraq the way it handed out sticks of chewing gum in France after World War II. Except that in Iraq the goggles are then sold to the people trying to kill American soldiers—free enterprise as practiced by Iraqi insurgents.
I page through the plans to the structural sheets. The main building is twelve stories high. It narrows six stories up, the center column rising like a thick candle in the middle of a cake. The sixth-floor ceiling is dropped, with a crawl space above it. Less than one meter of clearance. I roll back several pages of plans to find the one I want, then consider for a moment, trying to burn the drawing into my mind like light onto a photographic plate.
Barokov clears his throat and steps back. The former hostage is still quietly crying. Back at the helicopter a team of five combathardened commandos awaits my orders, and the chatter in my radio, mostly confused shouts, tells me that a separate Vympel antiterrorismunit is deploying nearby. But I can hear the General's voice in my head, urging me forward. Do not delay. Attack.
I turn away from the group and radio my squad leader, talking in a low voice into my hand-cupped mouthpiece. Instruct him to deploy around the perimeter, storm the building at the first sound of fighting, save the hostages if he can, worry about me last. Then I set aside the radio and strip down to black paratrooper pants and tactical body armor over a long-sleeved, collarless shirt made of a body-hugging synthetic. Slide the Sig into a nylon holster. Adjust the knife hanging below the back of my neck. Take one last look at the plans, and then I'm out the door, where I wait for a moment while my eyes adjust to the pinkish gloom.
"Who the hell was that?" I hear Inspector Barokov say behind me.

The creators of the Water-Scraper believe that the effects of climate change mean it's "only a natural progression that we will populate the seas someday," so they designed this livable, sustainable structure for humans to occupy. The Water-Scraper uses wave, wind and solar power, and its bioluminescent tentacles provide sea fauna a place to live while collecting energy through kinetic movements. This floating structure even generates its own food through farming, aquaculture and hydroponics. A small forest is nestled on the top of the Water-Scraper, along with wind turbines, a garden and livestock, and the living areas are located just below sea level where natural light is best.

Reactable Live @ Dubspot! Interactive Sound Design Workshop Recap (by DubSpot)
More info - http://bit.ly/sAjMDV
In September, Dubspot had the wonderful pleasure of hosting a live streaming workshop with Create Digital Music's Peter Kirn and Martin Kaltenbrunner of Reactor. Developed in Spain by Austrian and Spanish music and media technologists, Reactable is a musical instrument that is changing the way modern electronic music is produced and performed. In this video recap of the live webcast, Peter Kirn asked the necessary question "what makes this an instrument?" and Martin Kaltenbrunner answered that question with a demonstration using Reactable's tangible and intuitive interface to create and manipulate sounds on the fly. Furthermore, Peter and Martin talked about interface design, music technology, production and performance of electronic music without a computer, and much more.
How The 1% and the Machines May Come To Rule Us All
That's my own sensational title, but it's very fitting. This article, from the Atlantic and part of a 3 segment excerpt from a new book, is basically the article (and book?) I've been waiting 4 years to read! And also very timely with OWS, which is an awesome bonus.
As RCS followers know, I'm a major tech lover. That said, tech innovation also scares the pants off of me. There are for a few reasons, with the terminator-apocalypse low on the list. More realistically, a major concern of mine has been how technology will put people out of work. Because while technology can empower the average citizen (e.g. 3DP), it can also decimate fields of work, even destroying businesses. (Just think of how badly the US Postal Service is doing due to email, or how self-driving cars will effect taxi-drivers and truckers.)
This is a serious problem. A very serious problem, and one which I've been thinking about for some time. What will we do when robots can replace us? And don't think it's just simple, menial labor. It might almost be the opposite. There's a lot of research into machines and programs for augmenting (read: decimating) and replacing (you read that right) even highly skilled positions like doctors (e.g. here, here, and here) and, say, stock-traders. Cause sure, there may still be a few positions left for humans even after machines mostly take control (e.g. one security guard monitoring 10 security cameras), but even cutting half of the positions for a field will produce an avalanche of problems. For instance, already now with unemployment at 9% [!], we're seeing many students dropping out of college b/c the cost of tuition is extremely high and there's no job security; thus, less incentive to go especially with the risk of heavy debt weighing down on a graduate's shoulders.
And it's a bit odd: On the one hand, robotic labor seems to open up the possibility of a more Utopian world where people needn't work much (or at all?) to live; however, unless some big changes happen to the planet, the more likely scenario is that a few extremely wealthy people will simply own the robots that can do everything. And what will we do when there's little-to-no work for us to do?
I don't know. Like I said, it scares the pants off me. This article doesn't suggest a solution (though it does emphasize the greater need for higher education, and perhaps we should work to include that in the public schooling system). And I'd really like to hear one.
Seriously, if you have any ideas, let me know!

- RCS Highlights:
At least since the followers of Ned Ludd smashed mechanized looms in 1811, workers have worried about automation destroying jobs. Economists have reassured them that new jobs would be created even as old ones were eliminated…. However.. There is no economic law that says that everyone, or even most people, automatically benefit from technological progress... [T]echnological progress is not a rising tide that automatically raises all incomes. Even as overall wealth increases, there can be, and usually will be, winners and losers. And the losers are not necessarily some small segment of the labor force like buggy whip manufacturers. In principle, they can be a majority or even 90% or more of the population…
If wages can freely adjust… [then] at some point, the equilibrium wages for workers might fall below the level needed for subsistence. A rational human would see no point in taking a job at a wage that low, so the worker would go unemployed and the work would be done by a machine instead…
As technology continues to advance in the second half of the chessboard [nice Kurzweil reference - Ari], taking on jobs and tasks that used to belong only to human workers, one can imagine a time in the future when more and more jobs are more cheaply done by machines than humans. And indeed, the wages of unskilled workers have trended downward for over 30 years, at least in the United States. …lower pay only postpones the day of reckoning. Moore's Law is not a one-time blip but an accelerating exponential trend…
We'll start with skill-biased technical change… A lot of factory automation falls into this category, as routine drudgery is turned over to machines…
It's clear … that wage divergence accelerated in the digital era. As documented in careful studies.. the increase in the relative demand for skilled labor is closely correlated with advances in technology, particularly digital technologies. Hence, the moniker "skill-biased technical change," or SBTC….
Ever-greater investments in education, dramatically increasing the average educational level of the American workforce, helped prevent inequality from soaring as technology automated more and more unskilled work…
A key aspect of SBTC was not just the skills of those working with computers, but more importantly the broader changes in work organization that were made possible by information technology. The most productive firms reinvented and reorganized.. to get the most from the technology…
The second division is between superstars and everyone else. Many industries are winner-take-all or winner-take-most competitions, in which a few individuals get the lion's share of the rewards… The superstars in each field can now earn much larger rewards than they did in earlier decades.
The effects are evident at the top of the income distribution. The top 10% of the wage distribution has done much better than the rest of the labor force, but even within this group there has been growing inequality. Income has grown faster for the top 1% than the rest of the top decile. In turn, the top 0.1% and top 0.01% have seen their income grow even faster. This is not run-of-the-mill skill-biased technical change but rather reflects the unique rewards of superstardom... If technology exists for a single seller to cheaply replicate his or her services, then the top-quality provider can capture most—or all—of the market. The next-best provider might be almost as good yet get only a tiny fraction of the revenue.
Technology can convert an ordinary market into one that is characterized by superstars. Before the era of recorded music, the very best singer might have filled a large concert hall but at most would only be able to reach thousands of listeners over the course of a year… Once music could be recorded and distributed at a very low marginal cost, however, a small number of top performers could capture the majority of revenues in every market, from classical music's Yo-Yo Ma to pop's Lady Gaga…
According to economist Emmanuel Saez, the top 1% of U.S. households got 65% of all the growth in the economy since 2002. In fact, Saez reports that the top 0.01% of households in the United States—that is, the 14,588 families with income above $11,477,000—saw their share of national income double from 3% to 6% between 1995 and 2007…
The third division is between capital and labor. Most types of production require both machinery and human labor… If the technology decreases the relative importance of human labor in a particular production process, the owners of capital equipment will be able to capture a bigger share of income from the goods and services produced...
According to the recently updated data from the U.S. Commerce Department, recent corporate profits accounted for 23.8% of total domestic corporate income, a record high share that is more than 1 full percentage point above the previous record. Similarly, corporate profits as a share of GDP are at 50-year highs. Meanwhile, compensation to labor in all forms, including wages and benefits, is at a 50-year low. Capital is getting a bigger share of the pie, relative to labor.
When you hear about robots and space exploration, the first thing many people may think of is R2-D2 and C-3PO from Star Wars. While we may not be quite there yet, robots have become a major, even necessary, part of space missions. The many probes, landers and rovers that have been sent throughout the solar system are essentially robots, which have become more advanced over time. Then there's the new Robonaut, a humanoid robot designed to assist astronauts with a variety of tasks in space including on the International Space Station, for example. But what is next? That was the subject of a panel discussion last Tuesday at the Von Braun Memorial Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama. The future being planned by the robotics experts involved is one of both humans and robots working together in space. The future is now…
"Can we have both robotics and human exploration of space?" was the question of the day. While there have long been advocates of both, there has also been a prevailing debate over which is better; robotic missions are less expensive and don't put people in danger, but there are some things that only humans could do efficiently and quickly. The rovers on Mars for example, have done an amazing job of exploring the Martian surface, although human astronauts could do a lot of the same tasks faster. Also of course, people can experience the wonder and excitement of exploration in a way that machines can't.
Instead of choosing between the two scenarios, the best idea, which I personally agree with, is to do both in tandem. That was the focus and apparent consensus of the symposium, that the best way forward is for humans and robots to work together, complimenting each others' strengths and weaknesses. Humans might be better suited for on-site detailed exploration such as sample-taking, while robots could better handle other, more dangerous jobs.
The use of robotics has become a "pervasive technology across both military and space" according to Dr. Suzy Young of UA-Tuscaloosa's Research Office. She also cited sources which claim that robotic intelligence could start to approach that of humans by 2040. It may still sound like science fiction, but it is quickly becoming science fact. Maybe those lovable droids from Star Wars aren't too far off now after all.

Hungry? Soon you may be able to print out your dinner
Scientists at Cornell are developing a 3-D printer that can print meals using raw food "ink." Using raw-food inks set up in syringes, a specialized printer creates cookies, pie and other treats. The food list is currently limited to ingredients that can be extracted from a syringe, and researchers have had success with chocolate, cake and cookies. But they think the machine could be developed to create customized menus for "fussy" customers — or that the world's great chefs could share their patented recipes for download.

Apple, RSA, Facebook, spyware , scareware, DDoS - 90 Sec News - June 2011 (by SophosLabs)
Don't read the latest security news - watch it in just 90 seconds!
Looking back over last month: Apple does anti-virus, RSA replaces tokens, Facebook stays opt-out, Macbook Peeping Tom caught, Scareware gang busted, DDoSer sentenced.
In 1968 when Douglas Enterbart invented the first keyboard, he wouldn't have dreamed that his invention would revolutionize the computer world. Did we imagine that the simple block key board will turn into such magnificent art pieces? But today, each design is unique…leaving the past behind and beholding the future.
Technology is simply a part in the long run- together with it blends mans' quest for better creations leading to innovations like the 14 Coolest Computer Keyboard Mods and Designs seen below, which are made up of some real modifications and also some conceptual design which hopefully will truly be made. If you are interested in some weird and cool keyboards that have actually seen the light of day, check out the awesome collection of Geeky Computer Keyboards we seen before.
The jellyfish inspired keyboard set is basically a hand held gizmo that can function as an alternative to the regular input devices. It features the concept of a music keyboard fused with that of a computer keyboard. This jelly fish inspired keyboard set is a little tricky in its operation: using the chord theory where by, if a certain digit is pressed together with another digit, it forms a word. But this 'magic' device makes it a point not to let its users to return to the usual keyboard with its high technical proficiency. Erik Campbell has sure made an awesome model-slick in black and red for those who value design and yearn for a style statement.
Flying saucers are no longer meant for the aliens alone! It is a part of the earthly gaming zone now with the new remote controller keyboard by Altuq Toprak. The duo looks as if inspired by flying saucers and E.T to give a refreshingly new gaming controller. Though the gaming controller is an integrated part of the keyboard, it can be used as an individual controller as well. Initial usage may be a bit clumsy, but the versatility of the design will cause this to be soon forgotten.
The Alchemist keyboard is an outstandingly featured keyboard which pays tribute to the alchemists of history in its design. The amazing keys, the stained glass panel and the braided cord together make a picture-perfect designer key board. The designer has incorporated a number of symbols and labels used by alchemists including the Eye of Ra and the Caduceus. The detailing extends to the brass rods below the space bar that have a special coating to prevent tarnish. This keyboard is a master piece with its artistic design and fine detailing.
Ever had the thought that the mouse is a pest in your cubicle taking up lots of space for its proper function? Well, have a look at the largest computer keyboard with a built-in mouse. This mouse combo keyboard rests on a low friction pad making movements easier and uses an optical sensor to pick up motion. If the gliding key board doesn't suite your needs, within reach of the thumbs, a scroll wheel and conventional mouse buttons retain customary control.
Great news to all the Steampunk lovers, the Steampunk keyboard is out with its classic looks and perfect design. This amazing keyboard together with the steampunk mouse forms a model duo. Created by Datamancer from an IBM M15 ergonomic keyboard, the transformation is breath taking. The metallic design on the sides and the touch pad add to the aesthetics of the keyboard. Yet another example to confirm that steampunk is always in style!
Cool keyboards have always been in the priority list of the geeks. As such, there have been innumerable creations varying in themes, designs, features and specifications. To add to the list is the retro keyboard mod. Although looking like a blend of the typewriter sculpture and the steampunk ergonomic keyboard, this keyboard has its own distinct design and concept. The classic side rails and the keys together form part of the perfect nostalgic keyboard in the list.
Computer keyboards have been available in different shapes, colors, sizes and this scrabble keyboard adds to the list its own specific theme. The keyboard is made from letters of the popular Scrabble board game. This new theme based keyboard from Datamancer has the buttons made of different letters from the game and the special keys like Num Lock have the letter hallowed out. The creativity and looks of this keyboard will certainly take a few breaths away.
Portable keyboards have been in the market for some time now, but most of them had inherent flaws like lack of traditional keys and options for folding. The key-stick key board by Yoonsang Kim and Eunsung Park is a trend setter in this developing technology. The Keystick keyboard is a fully functional QWERTY keyboard with the added benefit of folding it to a stick. This foldable keyboard is wireless and connects to the PC via an USB. Soon to enter the manufacturing phase, once out, the keyboard will definitely grab the keyboard market.
Art deco style keyboards are always classy and elegant in its design. The keyboard featured here is no different in that respect. Together, it is superior in its class with the variations by Datamancer. The black reflective acrylic plate and white LEDs add to the aesthetic appeal. The wooden frame further takes the design to classic lay outs. Any loyalty to intense technology clubbed with splendor? Your search for the perfect keyboard ends in the art deco keyboard.
If comfort is of top priority for the geek in you, The Kinesis Advantage Keyboard leaves no options for a second thought. The ergonomic design with additional features and the scientifically placed keys are the striking features of this technical-designer board. Also, the layout is simply perfect and fits your hands better to give the comfort you seek for when working for long hours. In the list of geeky gadgets based on innovative designs, The Kinesis Advantage keyboard can not be ignored with its scientific design and technicality.
Together with all cool creations comes, specific ones like this. They seem too weird that you simply can't ignore them. The back typing key board is no exception to this. The basic idea is that the while using the keyboard, the keys can be viewed from the front while the typing has to be done from the backside. This keyboard is multimedia supported and has a mouse that can be controlled from the top side. The practical application of this keyboard is still questioned as we are not used to holding the keyboard in hand and typing in the back side!
What would it be like to have your bedroom mirror to function as a keyboard when it is switched on? With this technological pace, that is not far away. Have a look at the 'Cool Leaf series' keyboard by Minebea Co Ltd. Named as "?-QWERTY", this keyboard is a blend of killer looks and technological efficiency. The whole unit contains force-sensors that make it a touch sensitive device. Made of mirror like material on an acrylic board, the lighting includes a light guide plate type back lights. When the device is switched off, it appears like a simple plane piece of mirror glass. Cool series is soon to be expanded for medical use as well.
"The brand power" is certain once again! There is no doubt on what inspired designer Ignacio Pilotto to this brand computer keyboard. It is definitely the countless brands that come in all forms. These brand keyboards can be the best way to get brand names to every single user. The creativity is definitely to be commented on. The standard letters getting replaced by illustrative logos- that's definitely a great idea. Even better, the manufacturing company can sell that tiny piece to the brand owner to create the ultimate advertising effect- the brand name gets to the sub conscious level of the user!
When 'go green' is the big motto, certainly you ought to be pleased with this bamboo computer keyboard. Not just for the environmentally conscious geeks, the keyboard can be used by any one who yearns for a choice to the dull old plastic keyboard. With a price tag ranging from $11 to $44, going geeky isn't costly either. Together, the bamboo keyboard has the same longevity as that of the conventional every day keyboards- so that's a bonus! With looks similar to the Scrabble keyboard, this cool keyboard comes with lesser modifications making it perfect for daily use.
JAPANESE WATER POWERED CAR!! (by raviwfc)
As per the claims it runs only on a 300W "Water Energy System (WES)" where WATER is the only FUEL.
Water Car Fuelcell Internals video:
The basic power generation mechanism of the new system is similar to that of a normal fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. According to Genepax, the main feature of the new system is that it uses the company's membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which contains a material capable of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction.
A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.
"The main characteristic of this car is that no external input is needed. The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water inside for you to add from time to time," said Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Chief Executive Officer of Genepax, after he proudly announced the company's invention.
Once water is poured into the water tank at the back of the car, the newly invented energy generator takes out the hydrogen from the water, releases electrons and finally generates electrical power.
"We highly recommend our system since it does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars," said Hirasawa, who is hoping to advertise the car in time for the upcoming G8 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan.
According to the company, 1 liter of water keeps the car running for about an hour with a speed of 80 kilometers or 50 miles an hour. The company has applied for a patent and is hoping to collaborate with Japanese automobile manufacturers to mass manufacture their invention in the very near future. As fuel prices continue rising and people look for greener alternatives, companies globally are trying to come up with alternatives.

Ancient Advanced Technologies - Technologies of The Gods [FULL FILM] (by UFOTVstudios)
Technologies of the Gods brings convincing evidence that ancient civilizations utilized high-tech engineering methods equal to, if not superior to our own and that these technologies were being applied on a world-wide level.
Produced by Atlantis Rising Magazine. It has long been suspected that the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Mayan temples could not have been built using the primitive technologies attributed to those peoples by the orthodox academic view which states that primitive civilization in Mesopotamia, Egypt and India emerged from the stone age just over five thousand years ago.
In Technologies of the Gods breakthrough researchers, writers and engineers take a look at real evidence - largely ignored by the academic establishment - which shatters the orthodox scenario for the dawn of civilization on Earth.

An anonymous reader writes "Some students at Rice University were recently asked by Shriner's Hospital to build a rehabilitation tool that makes learning to walk entertaining and engaging. Teaching children with spina bifida, or cerebral palsy can be challenging but the game/balance board walkway helps the children develop their motor skills while giving them incentive to keep at it. It's a really cool application of game technology that actually helps people."
RedEaredSlider writes "The first ball at the Phillies-Brewers game will get thrown by a robot — but Roy Halladay's job is still safe. As part of an outreach program and the Phillies' 'Science Day At The Ballpark,' the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science is showcasing a robot made from a Segway and featuring an arm that acts more like a human throwing than an ordinary pitching machine. A pitching machine functions more like a gun, firing a baseball in what amounts to a straight line. But the robot has an armature connected to a hand that was specifically designed for throwing. Another thing the robot can do is identify the strike zone."
An anonymous reader writes "A research scientist at Georgia Tech has created a 3D scanner app for the iPhone which uses the phone's screen as a light source to quickly capture digital 3D models of faces and other objects. The app, called Trimensional, can output directly to a 3D printer to make physical copies of objects, which a few people have already tried. An Android version is in the works."

A 51-year-old Jefferson man was killed instantly Tuesday morning when a tree crashed into his house, police said.
The death was the fourth in Morris County linked to Tropical Storm Sandy.
The storm also led to the deaths of a man and woman in Mendham Township Monday night when a tree fell on their pickup truck. Two children inside the vehicle, an 11- and 14-year-old, survived.
Earlier Monday, Kinnelon police said an 84-year-old man died of a heart attack while he was outside preparing for the storm.
Many roads were impassable for most of Tuesday and 87 percent of the county lost power.
Gov. Chris Christie reported four other deaths around the state—.
Tropical Storm Sandy damaged the roof of Lake Hiawatha School in Parsippany and many other homes in the area were damaged by falling trees. The widespread damage and outages led many school districts to close schools Wednesday and postpone Halloween trick-or-treating.
Jersey Central Power & Light said the damage was the worst in its history and has told some towns it could take seven to 10 days to have power restored.

Jennifer Lawrence's Style Transformation
See how The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has evolved from a red carpet freshman to a stand-out style star over the years!
By Liz Doupnik
2007: Flirty And Fun
Even though Jennifer was a Hollywood newbie in 2007, she already was already showing signs of a future fashion A-lister. Even though she rocked a strapless dress with a subtle floral design and jeweled heels, the black ruffled hem gave it just a bit of edge to keep it from feeling overly girly. PS: Wouldn't her blue dress be perfect for Homecoming?!

Commercial brewing has returned to Nailsworth after a period of 96
Years in the form of a six-barrel micro brewery which is located at the
Village Inn Public House. One of the top 12 pubs in the country (Real
Ale Pub Guide 2009).
But what is a micro-brewery and what does the six barrel bit mean?
Well, as the name suggests, it is a 'small' or 'minute' (Collins
Concise Dictionary) brewery. And as for the 6 barrels, it has nothing
to do with casks or kegs, but the unit of measurement used to denote the
volume of beer a brewery can brew in a single brew. A 'barrel' equates to
36 gallons (288 pints) or 163.66 litres (if you are that way inclined). So
a six barrel-brewery means that we can brew 216 gallons (1,728 pints) or
981.96 litres in a single brew. This might sound a lot, but within the
brewing industry we are still 'small' beer!
So what is our mandate? Well fortunately, we have no accountants
in the brewery, so:

Daily Star
---- —
Word Thursdays will celebrate Women's History Month today with readings by poet and writer Mermer Blakeslee; poets Margot Farrington and Madeline Tiger; and emerging poet Mary Anne Rojas. Rojas will read from her work following the open mic; Blakeslee, Farrington and Tiger will read after the intermission.
During the open mic, all attendees are invited to read for up to four minutes from their own writing or that of others that focuses on women poets and writers.
The readings will take place in the Word & Image Gallery, now previewing exhibits by Gilbertsville interdisciplinary artist Zena Gurbo and Walton collagist and painter Anna Sea. Admission is $3 and free to those 18 and younger.
Blakeslee, of Roscoe, has published two novels, "Same Blood" (Houghton Mifflin, 1989) and "In Dark Water" (Ballantine, 1998). Her nonfiction book, "In the Yikes! Zone" (Dutton, 2002) has been reissued in paperback and ebook as "A Conversation with Fear" (E-Reads.com).
A Brooklyn and Treadwell resident, Farrington's second collection of poems is "Flares And Fathoms" (Bright Hill Press). Her poetry has appeared in the U.S., Algeria and the U.K., in magazines and in anthologies.
Tiger, of Bloomfield, N.J., publishes her work regularly in journals and anthologies. Her recent collections of poems are "The Atheist's Prayer" (Dos Madres Press, 2010), "The Earth Which Is All" (in collaboration with Three Mile Harbor Press, 2008), and "Birds of Sorrow and Joy: New and Selected Poems, 1970-2000" (Marsh Hawk Press, 2003).
Rojas, of Oneonta and Queens, is a junior at the State University College of Oneonta, majoring in English with a minor in linguistics; she plans to pursue a Master of Arts degree then a doctorate in publishing. While in high school in New York City, she was in the Urban Word Poetry Workshops and, at SUNY, she has been a member of the Poetry Slam Team. Roja's chapbook, "Silent Explosion," was published under her imprint, Off the Shoulder Press, under the auspices of Bright Hill, where Rojas served as an intern in 2010.
Bright Hill Literary Center's 2011 programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State council on the Arts, the A. Lindsay and Olive B. O'Connor Foundation, the Otis A. Thompson Foundation, the A. C. Molinari Foundation, the Delaware National Bank of Delhi, Stewart's Shops, Price Chopper's Golub Foundation, area businesses, and its members and friends. Bright Hill is a member of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses and the New York Council of Non-Profits. Bright Hill's Community Library & Internet Wing, which features a collection of literary and art-related volumes as well as children's literature, is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays, 9 a.m. to noon Wednesdays, during Word Thursdays readings, and by appointment.

TRAVERSE CITY — Michigan's Supreme Court ruled that medical marijuana users can't buy their medicine at pot shops, a decision that could shut down Traverse City and Acme businesses set up for such transactions.
Traverse City Police Capt. Brian Heffner said five marijuana shops in Traverse City allow the sale of medical marijuana from caregivers to patients. Typically owners take about a 20 percent cut in sales to help pay the store's overhead, Heffner said.
Heffner plans to meet with Traverse City medical marijuana shop owners and explain that police will not allow them to operate outside of the Supreme Court ruling.
"What that means is they cannot charge for the marijuana they're selling," Heffner said. "Ultimately they'll have to make a decision to gratuitously supply patients with marijuana or shut down."
Grand Traverse County Sheriff Tom Bensley said he'll look into the Acme shop, Great Lakes Helping Hands, and possibly get in touch with the Traverse Narcotics Team.
"Nothing says they can't be there," he said. "It's the transactions that could be a violation."
Traverse City Mayor Mike Estes called the court decision a "setback in common sense," adding that state voters approved marijuana for medical use.
"The worst thing is for the city commission to overreact," Estes said. "The issue is pretty much in the hands of the state of Michigan right now. I guess they're going to have to come forward and tell us what they want us to do."
Estes believes the ruling doesn't necessarily translate into an enforcement issue.
"It's all up in the air as far as I'm concerned," he said.
He said the city hasn't experienced problems with the marijuana dispensaries, which he said are well-regulated and monitored.
"This is not a scenario where someone is coming off the street as they might in Amsterdam," he said.
The 4-1 court decision Friday is the most significant court ruling since voters approved marijuana for certain illnesses in 2008. It means the state's 126,000 approved users must grow their own pot or have a state-licensed caregiver grow it for them.
The state appeals court declared dispensaries illegal in 2011, but enforcement has depended on the attitudes of local authorities. Some communities, including Traverse City, took a hands-off approach while waiting for the Supreme Court to make the decision.
The case involves a Mount Pleasant dispensary that allowed medical-marijuana users to sell pot to each other. Isabella County shut it down as a public nuisance.
The decision likely will hit Mike Hedden, who owns three area dispensaries, particularly hard. Hedden was featured in a Record-Eagle article after opening the 223 State Street Boutique & Compassion Center in Traverse City, which sells fine art, along with providing a place for marijuana transactions between caregivers and patients.
A reporter visited the East State Street shop on Friday; an employee stated Hedden would not comment.
Dispensaries and collectives popped up across Michigan after the state's medical marijuana act passed in 2008. The act allows patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and 12 plants, and permits designated caregivers to grow and distribute plants to up to five patients.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The man accused of causing a deadly wrong-way crash on State Route 520 in April pleaded guilty in court Friday.
Michael Anthony Robertson was in a wheelchair as he entered his guilty plea for vehicular homicide. In addition to the April crash, Robertson also pled guilty to a DUI he committed in Tacoma in December 2012.
The judge read a statement that Robertson wrote admitting his guilt.
"He was under a court order not to consume alcohol and he still consumed alcohol," prosecutor Amy Freedheim said. "But he's taking responsibility for it and that's clearly a positive thing."
Robertson had been charged with driving the wrong way on eastbound SR 520 under the influence of alcohol April 4. His car collided with one driven by 58-year-old Morgan Williams, who was killed.
William's family attended the hearing and said they were glad he's finally taking responsibility.
If convicted, Robertson faces up to 10 1/2 years in prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 26 at 1 p.m.
In May, Robertson pled not guilty to the crash that killed 58 year old Morgan Williams.
Last year, the state legislature approved a bill that doubled the standard range for vehicular homicide DUI, making it equal to first degree manslaughter.
