The joys of the vacation on a lake - (USA)
As we sit in our urban homes, we are surrounded by highways, strip malls, office buildings, and parking lots. But the primal part of us yearns to live among trees and water and winding woodsy roads. As we tap away at our computers, we wish we could run off to our cabin kits . Alaska is far away, but with the Alaskan cabins that are now available, you can build a cabin closer to home, but with a similar woodsy ambiance. And, because it’s a kit, you can make it as simple or as elaborate as sui

Along the way to the city of Oblivion, he discovers a band of rebellious damned have left a tortur

Oddball Tech: Invisible lamps, kids’ computers, and the Internet is alive - (USA)
Section: Computers , Mobile Computers , Gadgets / Other , Household , Lifestyle , Robots/AI Invisible lamp (pictured to the right) If you’ve got one carbon nanotube filament, you’ve got the world’s tiniest lamp. Get this, when the lamp is off, you can’t see the filament. Heat it up using electricity and you’ve got a glow. Now you can avoid the ever annoying search for lamps. Invisible lamps match any decor, but you’d probably need a lot of them to actually be useful since they don’

Top 10 Continued - (USA)
No. 5. CertificationIn general, the ATA certification model works pretty well (in theory, at least), especially since the brouhaha when they introduced the CE thing has been resolved. The board has (with bewildering sloth) corrected most of the problems the membership had with that, and now the program is more or less credible. (The board could have avoided the brouhaha by communicating its plans better, including the members' ideas on the issue better, and using a more transparent process; not

Life Imitating Art About Artificial Life That Imitates Eddie Furlong's Dorky Teenspeak - (USA)
"By the time SkyNet became self aware it had spread into millions of computer servers all across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms, everywhere. It was software, in Cyberspace. There was no system core. It could not be shut down." And this is how it started. The Pentagon has suffered from a cyber attack so alarming that it has taken the unprecedented step of banning the use of external hardware devices, such as flash drives and DVD's, FOX News has learned.

WALL*E - (USA)
Review by KC Carlson If I were Pixar right now, I think I’d scrape together 40 or 50 bucks and spend 10 minutes or so to put together the biggest piece of junk ever imagined — just to give people something to complain about. Y’know, like “Pixar’s lost it!” or “it was bound to happen someday!” or “Is that John Ratzenberger’s butt?” (Well, maybe not that last one…) Just so they could get it out of their systems and get back to enjoying the movies, without looking for reasons to tear Pixar down …

Building Intelligent Interactive Tutors: Student-centered strategies for revolutionizing e-learning Description: Computers have transformed every facet of our culture, most dramatically communication, transportation, finance, science, and the economy. Yet their impact has not been generally felt in education due to lack of hardware, teacher training, and sophisticated software. Another reason is that current instructional software is neither truly responsive to student needs nor flexible enoug

Courtney Love critica a las compañías discográficas - (USA)
En esta carta que está en inglés, vemos como Courtney Love denuncia la situación del mundo de la música, en la que hay varias injusticias. Todo debido a las compañías discográficas, las cuales prestan a los grupos o solistas, el dinero para grabar un disco, publicidad, etc, pero estos luego se lo devuelven íntegramente con las ventas de los discos. Al final, quienes ganan realmente son las discográficas, pero los cantantes parecen no ganar tanto, tan solo en algunos aspectos, como por ejemplo

waiting for the dawn of artificial intelligence - (USA)
A popular theory says that when our computers and robots reach a certain processing speed, they’ll become self-aware and start changing in ways their designers could never foresee. A humble laptop just a decade or two from now, will start thinking for itself and industrial robots will start making creative decisions, modifying themselves to be more efficient at assembling cars or aircraft. Or maybe at eviscerating its former masters. Whatever strikes their fancy and seems like a better use for t

How Do the Weak Defeat the Strong? - (USA)
It’s easy to think that the only advantage that the people have in conflict with their oppressors is their numbers. “Shake your chains to earth like dew,” in Shelley’s words. “Ye are many – they are few.” But this neglects strategy, and tactics (among other things). One of Mao’s great contributions in the 1930s was the forging of military strategy and tactics in the war against the Japanese invaders. The question of how to win against an adversary who is superior by every conventional measure o

A Look At Technological Advances In Video Games - (USA)
Your mobile phone, computer, living room, and practically everywhere else are overtaken by the video game storm. Not so long ago video games were just a fad with simple physics-based games like Pong. But as video game technology has progressed, so too has the popularity and limits that are associated with games in today’s society. Can Artificial Intelligence Think Like Humans: Artificial intelligence isn’t anything new; it was present every time you served a ball to the computer play in Pong. B

Virtual Neurons Acting Like the Real Thing - The Blue Brain Project - (USA)
Creating a virtual model of the human brain is one thing. I do it all the time, doodling little cerebrums while I talk on the phone. But getting your model to behave just like its flesh-and-blood counterpart? That’s a Frankenstein moment right there. Researchers with the Swiss-based Blue Brain Project have just created a virtual pack of neurons that acts just like the real thing, and hope to get an e-brain up and running. I hope somebody yelled “It’s alive!” Nerve cell model. Photo

Computers on Game Shows: What a Concept! - (USA)
When IBM’s Deep Blue computer beat chess world champion Garry Kasparov back in 1997, my reaction was pretty dispassionate: As someone who’s played only a few games of chess in my life, I simply didn’t have a deep understanding of the game or an emotional attachment to it. But when the news came out over the weekend that IBM is programming a supercomputer to play Jeopardy –well, that’s a breakthrough I can relate to. I haven’t watched the venerable game show much in years, but back in the 1980
