Laugh all you want, but the stupendously silly $ 200 million Battleship blockbuster opening Friday isn’t close to sinking toy- and game-based films anytime soon.

Business Cards? Meh. Design Yourself a Flipbook and Video Instead

Self-promotion is tough for anyone, but for designers it’s an Olympic challenge. Everything they hand out, post, and send to potential clients has to visually represent their (inimitable) style and (immeasurable) talent.

<link rel="canonical" href="/watch?v=T3xq32m_FZM">

Posted in: Wired. Tagged: Controlling, Mind, Robot.

Brain implants, a robotic arm, thought control ? it sounds far out. But in Brown University?s BrainGate experiment, the combination worked. Scientists helped stroke survivor Cathy Hutchinson train her mind, a computer, and a robotic arm to work together to perform a simple task her own body hasn?t been capable of since 1996: raising a cup of coffee to her mouth, and drinking it.
