Computer designed to read thoughts from brain scans

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets Frighteningly enough, this isn't the first (or second) time that we've seen scientists pat themselves on the back for creating a mind-reading machine, but a dedicated team from Carnegie Mellon has just announced a computer that "has been trained to read people's minds by looking at scans of their brains as they thought about specific words." In a completely unsurprising move, gurus familiar wit

Giant bunny formed from GPS path

Filed under: GPS First things first: considering the huge amount of press garnered by a recent position art scam, this here could indeed be just another spoof to get your hopes up. That being said, we're pretty sure no one with any level of decency would do such a vile thing on Easter Sunday, which is precisely when the above bunny was purportedly created from waltzing about with a Magellan GPS and a digital camera. The artist himself admits that what you see above is a slightly cleaned

Prototype iControlPad proves itself on video

Filed under: Cellphones Hah, did you really have the nerve to doubt CraigIX? The iPhone gamepad add-on that we heard about just last week is already inching closer to reality, and there's a video to prove it. In the somewhat unexciting clip posted up after the jump, you'll see a PCB mockup of the device doing its thang, though it's quite inelegant in its current form. If you just needed one more something to boost your interest / confidence that this critter was real, you know where to head.[Via zodttd]

Recycle an iTrip

A number of us have purchased an iTrip compatible with one of the first iPods. Most of the time, it outlives the iPod. Cobus decided to recycle one of them and use it with his laptop. I opened my iTrip, then checked out the wiring diagram at http://www.maushammer.com/systems/ipod-remote/ipod-remote.html I then installed the board in a plastic housing with a spot for batteries (in this case a TV remote), to which I attached a 3.5" audio jack (taken from some headphones) The power resistance then needs to be removed (the cylinder with the coloured rings - maroon, black, maroon, gold) as the iPod provides 3.5 volts whereas our two batteries (recha

MSI Wind gets terse pre-release review

Filed under: LaptopsIt's pretty tough to wrap your melon around, but MSI's Wind has not yet officially launched per se.

Shortly after the UK branch of CNET posted up their initial impressions, along comes yet another mini-review to get you even more worked up about June 3rd. Here's the skinny so far: the screen is amazing, keyboard is as well, the trackpad is simply too cramped and the port assortment is very respectable. All in all, critics were

RhythmFish concept enables Dory to create trippy visuals

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets Wait, you did name your guppy Dory, right? Whatever your household fish is named, you can certainly give it a fresh purpose in life with the RhythmFish -- if it were more than a mere concept, of course. The setup surrounds your fish with webcams and monitors its movements via sensors in order to translate all of that data and put forth a visual interpretation.

Yet another new 3G chip from Infineon

Source : Generation NTAccording to the information gleaned from the beta versions of the iPhone firmware, Apple will use an Infineon chip for the 3G part of the new iPhone. Infineon has just announced a new generation of chips that will be 50% smaller and on stand-by consume 30% less energy. Several models will be available, supporting different standards, HSDPA 3,6 or 7,2 and being able to drive cameras from 2 to 5 MPixels. It remains to be seen if Apple has obtained some in time for its new iPhone or whether one has to be wait for the next generation of iPhones. [translation by crispin]

Seagate will produce SSD disks in 2009

Source : PC WorldWhile continuing to denounce this technology and to bring lawsuits against various manufacturers, Seagate announced that its first SSD disks will be available during 2009. These disks are intended to be for the professionals, the mark considers that the general public market is too far away from maturity. The cost per GB will be too expensive (this is true) and they do not see this market developing for a very long time. As a follow up, and to show that traditional disks still have a broad path of advances, they announced that the first discs 3,5" of 2 TB will also arrive in 2009. We should state that for reasons unknown to us, manufacturers of disks have decided to put an end to the war of capacity and had nicely fixed all to a maximum of 1 TB. However, with the most recent platters containing 334 GB of data, it would be possible for them to immediately propose disks of more than 1,5 TB.

Erste Modifizierungen für Delicious Library 2

Erst ein paar Tage ist es her, dass die neue Version 2 der Katalogisierungssoftware Delicious Library veröffentlicht wurde - und schon haben erste Anwender Möglichkeiten für Modifizierungen ausfindig gemacht. Matteo Spinelli etwa wollte circa 500 italienische Film-DVDs in Delicious Library aufnehmen. Beim Online-Shop Amazon, woher das Programm die Informationen nach dem Scannen eines Barcodes bezieht, waren besagte Filme aber allesamt nicht im Produktkatalog enthalten. Durch einen findigen Umweg konnte Spinelli aber auf die (öffentlich zugänglichen) Daten eines italienischen Buchversandes zugreifen und sich somit das langwierige Abtippen der Informationen ersparen.

Berkeley Bionics' HULC exoskeleton lets you effortlessly carry 200lbs

An optical disk of 1TB compatible with Blu-ray, or almost...

Source : http://www.theregister.co.ukThe company Call/Recall have announced that they developed a disk able to store 1 TB of data and compatible with the blue laser used in the Blu-ray apparatuses. To arrive at this result, they use a substrate radically different from that of the current disks. It is filled with a dye reacting to the laser by emitting light if it is excited by a second laser. This emission of light or its absence allow the reading of to the 1 and 0. The announced data flow for reading is very promising; it should reach the 100 MB/s, much more than the solution, Inphase, it will compete with. In the long term, Call/Recall hopes to be able to store 5 TB on a wafer the size of a CD. You will have understood that it will not be able to read this media on standard Blu-ray readers. On the other hand, the fact that it uses common components should make this technology much more accessible than the ot

Not content just appealing to the Supreme Court regarding the Federal Circuit's ruling against a rehearing for the last case, DISH / EchoStar has started up a whole new lawsuit against TiVo, requesting a Delaware court find the new version of their DVR software does not infringe TiVo's patents -- presumably as an embittered and pre-emptive measure before TiVo could kick off its inevitable next suit. Don't worry if you're confused as all hell, so are we -- the point is, despite the fact that decisio

Eee PC-like ultraportables - name that product category

Filed under: Laptops It struck us the other day as we were going over some back posts that since the launch of the ASUS Eee PC (and the numerous products that have followed, from the MSI Wind to the HP Mini-Note), to the best of our knowledge we've all yet to have any normalized, agreed-upon name for these kinds of devices. Yes, they're technically "ultraportables" (which we usually define as being any relatively small laptop and under four pounds), but to say an Eee PC is in the same class as,

Filed under: Cellphones With all this hubbub floating around about the elusive 3G iPhone, let us not forget about the latest touchscreen smartphone to land at AT&T: LG's Vu.
