So, essentially this programming language would be useless for anyone who doesn't own a DNA printer.

OnLive Creator Claims He Can Bring Ultrafast Wireless to Everyone, Seemingly
Violating Laws of Physics: "Steve Perlman, founder of the cloud-based gaming-on-demand service OnLive, claims to have discovered a new method of wireless communications that would not only drastically outpace what we have now, but would actually disprove many of the accepted rules of how wireless communications in general work." See: http://www.popsci.com/technology/art...uts-ours-shame ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Delivering Qubits Alongside Classical Data, Researchers Move Toward Bringing Us a Quantum Internet: "Is this the beginning of the quantum Internet? UK researchers have shown that quantum and classical data streams can be interwoven within traditional fiber optics networks, enabling the distribution of quantum information to the home on existing cable. That means quantum key distribution (QKD) can work alongside traditional, classical data channels, a development that essentially lays the groundwork for a quantum Internet that exists alongside the classical one we have now."

Considering how OnLive has been nothing but hot air up till now, I'm not inclined to believe him. If it was possible to do what he says, you can bet your ass the mobile network providers would be all over it, because all of them are hurting for spectrum. AT&T is planning to spend forty billion dollars to buy T-Mobile USA, just so they can re-purpose UMTS Band IV for their LTE rollout. If they could do that with the spectrum they have, they wouldn't be spending that kind of cash buying Deutsche Telekom's redheaded American stepchild.

Magnetic Microprocessors Could Enable the Most Efficient Computers Physically
Possible: "Electron-free magnetic microprocessors would use 1 million times less energy per flop than today’s computers, according to researchers at the University of California-Berkeley. They would be so efficient, they would consume the least amount of energy allowed by the second law of thermodynamics." See: http://www.popsci.com/technology/art...days-computers |

So it takes a lot of time to make a cloak to cover something really, reallly small. It is not practical for large scale use, but it is proven to work.

Now I don't know how new this news is but they have mind controled computers now...I wonder how long before this is applied to video games. Hell I can just picture game interface like in the movie The Matrix. A whole virtual world with your mind. Yea I know this scares a lot of people but think of all the things we can do with this technology...Ghost in the Shell anyone?

Engineers Fly World's First 'Printed' Aircraft
"Engineers at the University of Southampton have designed and flown the
world's first 'printed' aircraft, which could revolutionise the economics of aircraft design. The SULSA (Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft) plane is an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) whose entire structure has been printed, including wings, integral control surfaces and access hatches. It was printed on an EOS EOSINT P730 nylon laser sintering machine, which fabricates plastic or metal objects, building up the item layer by layer."

Finally someone saw the light and made an LED bulb. Though I've been homebrewing LED bulbs for a few years now...

NASA launches Juno mission to Jupiter
"NASA on Friday launched the billion-dollar solar-powered spacecraft Juno on a
five-year journey to Jupiter aiming to discover what makes up the solar system's biggest planet. The unmanned satellite observatory was propelled into space aboard a 197-foot ( 60-meter) tall Atlas V rocket, blasting off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 12:25 pm (1625 GMT)."

NASA has stated that they are going to focus on things outside Earth orbit. Earth and near Earth (aside from maybe the Moon) will be up to the other countries and private industry to play around with. NASA is going outwards with their projects. Assuming they get the funding that is. (The stated goal of the Orion now is near Earth asteriods and Mars...with the chance of the Moon, if they need to go back there again. Also capable of docking with the station, but that's not one of their missions anymore.)
I however would like an idea to use the ISS as a construction platform to build a bigger station...since it has that large truss and multiple robotic arms. If the Shuttle can be used as a work platform with just one arm and cargo bay, the Station can be a larger one.
