So Minority Report came out in 2002 and everybody got stoked on how Tom Cruise was controlling that computer with nothing but exaggerated hand gestures and that squinty brow of his. Well screw that! Brain-Computer Interface, guys! Let’s not beat around the science bush here and just come out with it: these things let you 
Okay. I admit it: I look over your shoulder on the train. I see you playing Angry Birds, poker and backgammon on your smart phones, and, hey, I don’t blame you. The daily commute on Public Transit is a weird thing: Here’s this stretch of time where we all sit together in silence and try 
I’m new to Tablet Computing. I have an iPhone, a laptop, and a desktop computer. Adding another processor to the mix seemed, if nothing else, silly. But I was curious: What is life with Tab like? In this case my curiosity harmed no cats. All it killed was a ton of time spent playing awesome 
When Parkinson’s Disease is a thing of the past, I’ll take comfort in knowing that I played a part in its eradication. Emphasis on ‘played’, de-emphasis on ‘I’. The truth is that hundreds of other Citizen Scientists helped me out. All we had to do was play a game. Up front, Phylo is a puzzle 
On the morning of Jan. 18, 2012, America woke up to a digital reenactment of Real Life as experienced by humans at the turn of the century. We were shook. We called and emailed and berated our elected representatives. Surprisingly—given the recent string of questionable legislation passed well within earshot of public clamor—they listened. With 
In my last post, I looked at what was up with the HUD Contact Lenses and Electroadhesive ‘Spiderman’ Gloves featured in Mission:Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Today we’re going to see the Magnetic Levitation Suit used by The Hurt Locker star, Jeremy Renner, and the real star of M:I-GP, the BMW i8 concept car. Item 3: 
Movies like Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol are certainly entertaining. But for those of us stoked on living in “The Future”, they also provide a great public service. If companies don’t think they can sell it, they won’t front the money for R&D, and we won’t get awesome stuff to play with. So when we see 
The process of 3D printing is called additive manufacturing, and it’s a pretty simple idea: A machine squirts some material in layers based on a 3D computer model until the design has become a real life object. There’s a few different methods and processes to choose from, but here I’m just focusing on “Fused Deposition 
In case you’ve never heard of it: KickStarter is a real cool website that helps people realize their creative ideas by Darwinian process: 1. Have an idea? 2. Put it on Kickstarter. 3. It’s a good one. 4. Strangers give you money! 5. Success. Below are my No.1′s for awesome gifts. I know that we’re
