I thought this was worthy of being added. Seems Harvard can slow down light and even stop it in mid-air. Sounds like just the thing we need to make holograms realistic.


Can't fall asleep? Don't worry, this robot can read a book to you. Well, that is if your room can fit an SUV.

The US Pentagon is researching a satellite that can indentify a person by the way he/she walks. O_o @ if you stub your toe.

Check out this humerous timeline of the internet.

The movie rental industry is coming out with DVD disc that self destruct in 48 hours.

Linux may be gaining ground faster than you thought.

Devices, such as communication satellites, clocking at terahertz speeds (1000 ghz) become a reality. Would mind my computer running that fast though ;D

For any of you folders out there with an Pentium computers, check out folding version 3.25. It has optimizations for pentiums's SSE feature. They say it's still beta, but stable, and only beta cause they want to add some features first.

You can pick it up by clicking here.

Also congrats to our team for breaking the 320's. At 319th place now. Unfortunatly we may slip this summer as the college campus computers will be down (which is about 5 or 6 of our team's computers) X_X
