Cheese of the Month Club | Gourmet, Artisanal Cheese Delivery with Free Shipping. I give the Seasonal package every year to my Dad and Step Mother, they are both cheesies and always rave about the selections. I've been told not to change my gift...ever! I received the cheese of the month club as a birthday gift from my co-workers. It's kind of an inside joke that I'm picky about my cheeses and everyone had a good laugh. But let me tell you, these cheeses are no joke! I usually buy my cheese at a specialty shop near my home and the cheeses I've received here are as good, maybe better, that the cheeses I buy there.

When you meet your robot overlord, it may be wearing super-intelligent skin designed by a Stanford researcher--a solar-powered, super-sensitive, chemical-sampling covering that makes your meatbag covering look pathetic. Zhenan Bao is behind the advances, and the recent development centers on a stretchable solar cell system that can expand and shrink along two different axes, making it perfect for incorporation into artificial skin for robots, human prosthetic limbs, or even clothing.

Bao's earlier successes with artificial skin have resulted in a highly flexible and durable material, which is part of a flexible organic-chemistry transistor, built on a thin polymer layer. When the skin is subjected to pressure, the current flowing through the transistors is modified as tiny pyramid shapes molded into the polymer layer compress, resulting in a super-sensitive transducer that can apparently detect the pressure from a house-fly's feet.

Google, Facebook Rivalry to Heat up in 2012 | PCWorld Business Center.

News December 30, 2011 06:41 AM ET Computerworld - As Google works to make its Google+ social network a major competitor to market leader Facebook, the battle between the two could reach a critical point in 2012, analysts say. Facebook, the world's largest social network, and Google, the world's largest Internet company, are increasingly going head-to-head in a battle to be the top social media player and get the big advertising dollars that go with the position. While most analysts think Facebook retained its wide edge this year, most agree that the battle is likely to heat up further in 2012. And that means users of both Facebook and Google+ should expect a lot of new features and more integration with third party products.

"This is a fight for survival for Facebook -- and for relevancy for Google," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group. "The big moment will be Facebook's IPO," said Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. EVIL GUIDE PLAN - StumbleUpon.
