First synthetic cell created by man, has website in its genetic code

So yes, Man (or, to give credit where credit is due, COMPUTER made by MAN) has created a synthetic cell. They grafted some computer code onto a "blank" cell and fabricated... life. To all the religious folks who are objecting to this, I pose an interesting question: What sorts of information/watermarks are in our code... already? Interesting thought, no?

Micoplasmangenetaliawhatchamazoo sounds interesting. The possibilities are limitless, really.

We could maaaaake pigcows! We could maaaaake bacteria that eats whatever we don't want! (nuclear waste, for example)

Ah, brave new world... we could make something that poops an energy source...

Coolest animation

This is by far the coolest animation I've seen in a long time.

More inspirational even than Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Cool World in its sheer unbridled... well, creativity.

Coolest bug zapper ever

So, if you don't know what TED is, by golly, find out.

This fellow has created the world's most complicated, most awesome bug zapper, ever.



"Shoots the wings off a fly" - pfft, big deal, this thing shoots 'em off a mosquito!

Hasn't eaten in over 50 years...?

So, there's a new thing.

Where... people don't have to eat.

Like... ever.

They don't even drink water.

(go 'wan, I know you wanna say it...)

"yes sir, Mr. Internet-reliable-source, I believe you without any shred of proof"

Yeah, I know.  But, a friend of mine actually hangs out with one of these people - suddenly, it seems a little less... obscure.  A little less "old guy on the top of a mountain does it but wtf"

Now, they're finding these folks as young as 7 years old!

They say generally they go to veggetarian, vegan, then either just water, or simply jump right to nothing.

NOTHING!

People are theorizing that they are existing like plants do - basically off of photosynthesis.  Fascinating stuff.

It aaaalways comes back to swamp thing...  Every since he did the nasty with Heather Locklear, its been swamp thing this, swamp thing tha...

What?  You didn't know?  Oh, lord, you have to see this:

(Why yes that is that girl from that show with the guy who played Teen Wolf in it... or was it Charlie Sheen?  I don't know, but that is, actually Healther Locklear, doing it with a plant penis.  PLANT PENIS!)

Skintech

Microphones can tell which part of my body I'm hitting...

I get the feeling that this is going to be kind of like one of those

"Hello, please say phone, or internet so that we can direct your call."
"Internet."
"Did you say fish?"
"NO."
"Okay, try again."
"INTERNET"
"Did you say, upgrade your cell plan?"
"NO!"
"Okay, try again."
"IN-TER-NET!"
"I'm sorry, did you say hang up in frustration?"

Maybe not - maybe they're directional microphones so sensitive that they can sense only vibration. But then, what happens when you're walking, or taking the bus? Would it adjust?

And, if so, would it know that you were running and could automatically update your music player's playlist?

Either way, a brave new world/interface.
