It never ceases to amaze me how many things from Star Trek are coming true
Check out this incredible prosthetic arm made entirely of lego. It was designed to mimic the full range of human movement and I have to say, it’s one of the most impressive lego creations I’ve seen to date

Fascinating article from Gizmodo on a subcutaneous medical device developed by Nasa. Worth a read.
This will be of interest to those who have seen Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Another piece of science foretold in Star Trek that is now becoming a reality.
I like the new dark interface. Looking forward to see what else is in the final version.
Earlier this week, BSR asked the New York Times to correct inaccurate and misleading information in the story that ran on January 26, 2012 entitled “In China, the Human Costs That Are Built Into an iPad.” Here we present our letter to the editor that we submitted following publication of the article, as well as the main points we made to the New York Times in a letter sent on January 17, prior to publication. While some changes were made to the story, we believe that several important inaccuracies and misleading information remained in the story that was published on January 26.Aron Cramer, President and CEO of BSR
It’s worth reading the letter as it highlights what they believe are some pretty big flaws in the New York Times article.
When pundits and bloggers keep pushing the notion that Apple will inevitably fail in the smartphone market because it will be a repeat of the Windows / Mac race (it just will – right) they always neglect to mention the current outcome of that so called “failure”. Right now, if it wasn’t for Apple’s Mac numbers propping up the PC industry’s sales figures the industry’s decline would be even worse than reported.
Great analysis by Tom Reestman
Samsung has detailed its full results following a brief preview earlier in the month. The Korean electronics giant mustered the equivalent of $42 billion in revenue, but owed much of this and its profit to a 30 percent increase in its cellphone business. Almost half of its working profit, $2.3 billion out of $4.7 billion, came from its mobile group; profit as a whole was up 17 percent.Mac NN
What’s curious about the statements from Samsung is they didn’t release Smartphone sales numbers. Or numbers of its Tablets for that matter. You would think, given its very public attacks on Apple in particular, it would want to tout these numbers, so I ind it curious that it is keeping the details to its chest.
Just sayin’
Ouch. Looks like Google made a really good deal there.
Looks like the unstoppable force has ….well, stopped.
I’m sure that all those pundits who are convinced that the whole Android / iOS thing is a replay of mac / windows will be convinced by this news, and that of Apple’s earnings.
I’m sure of it.
Nat Torkington brilliantly illustrates the deeper problem with SOPA and the entertainment industry.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has used his new Twitter account to unleash a stream of abuse against Google, describing the search giant as a “piracy leader” and labelling parts of its business model as “plain stealing”.Macworld UK
Given the current voice mail scandal surrounding Murdoch’s companies I think calling out google for “stealing” is a bit cheeky.
