Dark matter core, left behind from wreck between massive clusters of galaxies, defies explanation

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120302101413.htm Mar. 2, 2012 — Astronomers using data from NASA's Hubble Telescope have observed what appears to be a clump of dark matter left behind from a wreck between massive clusters of galaxies. The result could challenge current theories about dark matter that predict galaxies should be anchored to the invisible substance even during the shock of a collision. Abell 520 is a gigantic merger of galaxy clusters located 2.4 billion light-years away. Dark matter is not visible, although its presence and distribution is found indirectly through its effects.
The prototype for Google's HUD glasses has been seen, according to tech news site 9to5Google . And, supposedly they resemble Oakley's Thump glasses, which makes them look a lot like something the Terminator might wear. Oakley THUMP glasses. (Credit: Oakley) But, it's not just how Google's glasses look, their function also mirrors something out of the Terminator trilogy. In December, rumors spread that Google was finishing up a prototype on high-tech glasses known as wearable head-up displays (HUD) that could tap into Google's cloud-based location services and detail users' surroundings.

Zap your brain into the zone: Fast track to pure focus - life - 06 February 2012

I'm close to tears behind my thin cover of sandbags as 20 screaming, masked men run towards me at full speed, strapped into suicide bomb vests and clutching rifles. For every one I manage to shoot dead, three new assailants pop up from nowhere. I'm clearly not shooting fast enough, and panic and incompetence are making me continually jam my rifle. My salvation lies in the fact that my attackers are only a video, projected on screens to the front and sides. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328501.600-zap-your-brain-into-the-zone-fast-track-to-pure-focus.html?full=true
