FOXNews.com - Scientists Say Invisibility Cloak Now Possible - Science News
2008-08-28 02:20:00 From the page: "WASHINGTON â€" Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible. Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects. Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects. The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, led by Xiang Zhang, are to be released later this week in the journals Nature and Science ." Read More...

A robot with a biological brain
2008-08-27 19:43:00 Came accross this article; which I found particularily interesting. Researchers at the University of Reading (is that where the reading railroad is?) are learning to create brains in their lab and teach them to control robots! How much more like Frankenstein can you get? The brains are grown from neurological cells, like you would find in your own brain, and are placed on a pad that can recieve signals from the cell culture as well as stimulate the cells with small electronic impulses. When the brain sends messages to the electrodes, the electrodes drive the robot around in left/right directions, when the robot approaches an object it sends a a message to the cells, which then in turn learn from these messages. Here's a a video explaining all about it. This seems to have some far reaching ideas about how our brains actually work. Read More... More About: Robot , Brain

2008-08-27 09:32:00 Jesus and Satan Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally fed up, God said, ‘THAT’S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.’ So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused.They faxed.They e-mailed. They e-mailed with attachments. They downloaded. They did spreadsheets!They wrote reports. They created labels and cards.They created charts and graphs. They did some genealogy reportsThey did every job known to man. Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell. Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the powerwent off.. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every cu... More About: Review , Http , Stumbleupon

Debt!
2008-08-23 09:32:00 From the page: "Without a budget and the right spending management tools do donâ€t really know how much money youâ€re really spending, do you? While the electronic age is making it easier to accomplish tasks, itâ€s also forcing more and more people into a downward spiral when it comes to their finances. Sure, having access to your money with a quick swipe of a card, whether itâ€s a debit card, check card or credit card, is great but it make keeping track of your spending much more difficult. Convenient spending, monthly access fees & service charges add up to one devastating reality â€" overspending, and through our experiences havenâ€t we all found that when you overspend once, itâ€s easier to do it again, and again, and again?"

His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. 3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it. 4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was room temperature Canadian beef. 5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up. 6.
