The Pokemon Plot: How One Cartoon Inspired the Army to Dream Up a Seizure Gun:
"In 1998, a secret Army intelligence analysis suggested a new way to take out enemies: blast them with electromagnetic energy until their brains overload and they start to convulse. Amazingly, it was an idea inspired by a Pokemon episode." See: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012...fever-dazzler/ |

Well, where a river was, long ago.
The questions are what happened, and can we make it so water flows there again? Because if we can terraform Mars, we will be able to start expanding again. Our one planet limit will be expanded as Mars becomes more habitable (able to grow crops perhaps) and thus possibly lowering out population problems. Also it would give us practise if we get those theoretical warp drives working and can attempt to settle other worlds in within five years travel from us at 10 times lightspeed.

The next wave in US robotic war: drones on their own:
"The Pentagon is investing heavily in "autonomy" for robotic weapons, with researchers anticipating squadrons of drones in the air, land or sea that would work in tandem with manned machines -- often with a minimum of supervision." ""We're moving into more and more autonomous systems. That's an evolutionary arc," said Peter Singer, an expert on robotic weapons and author of "Wired for War."" "One veteran robotics scientist, Ronald Arkin, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, believes that countries will inevitably deploy independent robots capable of killing an enemy without a human pushing a button." See: http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Th...r_own_999.html Now, to make sure all these drones/robots work together efficiently, all we have to do is hook them up to this new "Skynet" system. What could possibly go wrong? |

Not as impressive of a news, but Tesla S is now the official electric car that can travel 225+ miles in one charge. I'm excited just because my commute is 82 miles each way from-to work. Alas, the 80K+ price tag puts a little dampner in my enthusiasm.

I been scream about that for years now. If the Sun goes Red Giant, every planet inside of the Astro Belt would be destroy, including Mars. I think that Ceres would be spare but seriously, outside of that belt, there is so many possibility out there but about that time it will happen, it will be around 2025.
