Tiny robots revolutionise surgery

Small robots designed by University of Nebraska researchers may allow doctors on Earth to help perform surgery on patients in space.

Less than 8cm tall, these tiny-wheeled robots — slipped into the abdomen and controlled by surgeons hundreds of kilometres away — are in the pipeline at the University of Nebraska Medical Centre and University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Deskloops

Here is another windows arrangement program called deskloops. It arranges the opened windows like a virtual loop so that you can scroll through it. You can scroll by right clicking at screen edge or choosing from film strip which automatically show/hide at the top of screen. 

One thing I like is that it doesn't take much memory. You know my old PC is quite sensitive for Memory and CPU usage. But it runs well on my PC.

I don't know. May be we might not need this. But it’s cool to have that. At least you should try this coz you can get it for free.

... And Justice For All

I just feel that I must speak out on this issue. Burma and its luck of Justice… You must have seen such kind of events in movies about historical stories during age of empires or dark ages. But it is still happening in Burma.

Let’s imagine you are watching such kind of movie. You see people are forced to work under the weapons of rulers. Some people are starving, some people are sick, some people are old but they all were forced to work. (of course leaving their own earning works.)

Ma Su Su Nwae who is suffering from heart disease and Ko Aung Zin Moe, whose wife is about to give birth to a child requested for exemption from the work which they were forced to. But they were threatened to be arrested. 

So they, reported to ILO about that and started a lawsuit against local authority. Local court though they did not want to accept the case, accepted due to ILO’s request and arrested the village authorities. (Actually, village authorities were not the ones who made this forced labor. Army did that!!!)

(from NDD WINC issue 183)

After this lawsuit, local authorities created a fake accusation to Ma Su Su Nwae and after a long trial, they sentenced her to one and half years in jail.  
This is the animosity of a government towards it’s own citizen.

The Island

I watched "the Island" yesterday.

The movie stole ideas from "The Matrix".

1) The way they grow people. Even the way they take out the grown up human from the pod is the same. (okay.. they might argue that this is the way to grow human in theory.)
2) The scene where the bots are inserted is exactly the same with the scene when agent Smith inserts a bug into Neo.
3) finally...
In Matrix... "I am Neo"
In Island... "I am Lincoln"

ha ha ha shameless copies.

Technology is very much advanced in that era. But the motorbike like that will not fly in reality. 

I don't understand why mini-bots came out when urinate. (with the technology at that time described, these should be nanobots which can be simply injected into blood vessel. They will be able to trevel even into the head. Now the bots in the movie are quite big. The scene in the movie is just to horrify the audience.)

Anyway, it is a good movie to watch. I recommend you. The chase scene is awesome.
Annnnnnnd. The actress, Scarlett Johansson, is very beautiful in this movie.

Surface tension

From Visions of Science photographic awards:

Einstein Year Award: 1st Prize
Surface tension

by Robert Anderson

The surface tension of water can support even a metal paperclip. By photographing it using a grill in front of the light source, the deformation of the water caused by the clip's weight can be seen. This bending of light is similar to the bending of light by strong gravitational fields, as predicted by Einstein's theories. Surface tension is due to an attraction between the molecules in water, which cause its surface to act in an elastic manner.

Musical breasts

he he don't think wrong, this is just a funny technology.

Musical breasts
From the article: 

Breast enhancements need not only be about looks and sex appeal. They could soon have a functional purpose too.
A company is currently developing a microchip that stores music files and can be built into a breast implant, the Sun reports.
BT Futurology apparently intend on developing a musical double act for the bosoms, which would see an MP3 player installed in one mammary, and music files in the other.
The whole ensemble could then be managed via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Company analyst Ian Pearson said: "It is now very hard for me to think of breast implants as just decorative.
"If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful."
