The way this system works, is wrist straps on a rail guide your hands to the right place and then zap the finger with electricity to indicate that you should press it.
You load up the software with midi files and it’ll make you play it. I guess the idea is that if you build up repetitive memory, you can learn how to play the piano quickly this way.
In order to futureproof your iPhone upgrade, you need to get and save your ECID, iBEC and IBSS.
In order to do this you need the following program:
difrnt » Blog Archive » ECID Grabber & iBEC and iBSS Grabber.
You can then follow these instructions from step 6 on – the grabber will do the temp file watching for you. You will then have your iBEC and iBSS files. NB If you only get the iBEC file, you can also look in C:\Users\All Users\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Temporary Files\Firmware\dfu – they might both be in there…
In order to get your ECID:
Check hackint0sh.org ECID instructions

In order to jailbreak you need your ipsw file and Redsnow. Redsnow will ask you for the location of the ipsw file (if you downloaded the update from Apple that would be: users\”USERNAME”\appdata\roaming\apple computer\itunes\) and works with 3.0.1

It turns out that you can easily pland DNA at a crime scene – any biology undergraduate could do this: it’s easier than planting a fingerprint. One method requires you to have a sample of the actual DNA, the other requires you have access to the DNA information in a police database.
Centralised DNA databases still sound like such a great idea, especially in the UK, so well known for keeping the integrity of these kinds of details (that’s sarcasm, people).

So, together with the nano lasers, we now have two new technologies for future growth in computer chip capacity. IBM’s technology makes strands of DNA self-assemble into shapes such as triangles or squares on top of silicon. This assembly acts as scaffolding for semi conducting nanotubes which become a nano circuit board.

This is very very tiny – it’s by far the smallest information carrying line we can create now. Computer chipmakers are running into walls trying to cram more information lines (wires) into a chip, but they can’t make them small enough to fit. This could change all that, if they can build lenses with switching mechanisms small enough so that these lasers can take the place of the wires, which is why people are so very excited about this.

The battery breakthrough comes from a Salt Lake company called Ceramatec, the R&D arm of CoorsTek, a world leader in advanced materials and electrochemical devices. It promises to reduce dependence on the dinosaur by hooking up with the latest generation of personalized power plants that draw from the sun.
…
Inside Ceramatec’s wonder battery is a chunk of solid sodium metal mated to a sulphur compound by an extraordinary, paper-thin ceramic membrane. The membrane conducts ions — electrically charged particles — back and forth to generate a current. The company calculates that the battery will cram 20 to 40 kilowatt hours of energy into a package about the size of a refrigerator, and operate below 90 degrees C.
…
This means the battery is capable of storing a LOT of power and doing it in a clean, safe manner – so it actually is possible to have one in your house!
New battery could change world, one house at a time.

This comes back a lot – we know people are basically not honest, that lying is taught to us by our parents from an early age. Robert Feldman’s latest study shows that even when we don’t have an agenda, we lie around 12 times per 10 minutes – and these are just the lies we are willing to admit to! Should we have an agenda, we will happily lie with a much greater frequency.
Being honest just isn’t in us!

It turns out that Palm wants your data – as much as possible! The Pre sends the following information home daily:
Apparently Palm says you can turn it off, but they don’t tell you how. You OK it by agreeing to their privacy policy (so – who here has ever read a privacy policy / eula they’ve agreed to?).
More and more companies (Apple, Google, to name a few) feel they have ownership of the devices they sell you, and feel that collecting this kind of private data is fine.
Of course, some of the apps on the phone need this kind of data in order to work (eg apps that show things close to you in Google Maps) but does Palm need this data too?

Finally! They’ve passed testing and can be implemented! You can plug an mp3 player into them, they’re not as huge and unsightly as the current hearing aids and they are much much more effective than the old school ones.
Bone-anchored hearing aids filter out noise, finally ready for human implantation.
Utah scientists have developed a liquid that turns semi solid in the presence of semen, trapping the AIDS virus. If a woman uses the liquid before sex, sperm gets trapped in a gel like structure. By the time the gel melts into liquid, the AIDS virus has died. So it’s not a sure fire contraceptive, but good for the most virulent and dangerous sexual disease. Now if they can only get it to solidify for ALL sexually transmitted diseases…

Of course only in the jolly old UK:
The Children’s Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes
They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.
Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.
The best bit? They’ve allready put 2000 families through this!

For $8000 you can launch your own satellite into low earth orbit at 310 km. It’ll stay up there for around 3 weeks untill it burns up in reentry. They come in kit form and you can stuff whatever you want in there as long as it weighs less than 0.75 kg and fits into the tube they send you. You can double, triple or quadruple the tubesat, allowing you to launch greater payloads. They will be launched on Interobital’s Neptune rocket, which carries 32 tubesats per time. They expect to launch 1 rocket per month from 2010 from the IOS Spaceport Tonga.
