I'm generally skeptical of the singularity and of post-scarcity economics in general. 2. I think it's interesting to ponder why the singularity might not occur. 3. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Fermi Paradox is somehow connected with a singularity, but I really have no compelling reason why I think that. 4. 5. 6.

Yahoo News reports that the team of U.S. researchers from University of California at Irvine, HRL Laboratories and the California Institute of Technology has developed the metal, which is about 100 times lighter than Styrofoam. They constructed a metallic lattice of hair-thin pipes to show off their latest creation, beating out the previously lightest substances in the world, aerogels. They can have densities of 1 mm per cc, making them less dense than air at room temperature and sea level. (LIST: The 50 Best Inventions) The work is significant because the strategy employed by the team could lead to the development of more materials of extraordinary strength and lightness, according to detailed findings in the Nov. 18 issue of the journal Science.

Jose Rodrigues - Be a Warrior in Sparta: War of Empires... Best iPad 2 apps So you've got an iPad 2, and now you need to fill it with lovely iPad apps. But with 65,000 apps available just for the iPad what are the best ones to get and are there any that take advantage of the new features of the iPad 2. We've scoured the massive collection of iPad apps available (mid March) on iTunes to see what's on offer and what you should download. We've tried, tested and reviewed all of the following free iPad apps ourselves, rather than just guessing whether they're good or not. READ: Best new iPad apps to show off the Retina Display GarageBand Let’s get it out of the way from the start. You get to play piano, guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and if you’ve got the right dongle, even record your own guitar playing as well. The whole experience is incredibly easy, and depending on your musical skill rather than computer skills, you can create a track in minutes rather than hours. Playing music is one thing, but you probably want to record it too, and here Apple makes it very easy.

Jose Rodrigues - Like #Riplaki , Play #Soldiersinc... This Is What the Desk of the Future Looks Like EXOpc has posted a video of its EXOdesk — an interactive desk environment that lets you do all sorts of tasks on a virtual space on your desk — in action and it looks amazing. The actual device is a tabletop computer, somewhat similar to Microsoft Surface, offering 40 inches of high definition space, where you can manipulate virtual objects by touching them and dragging them around. The video offers a taste of what you can do with EXOdesk: add a virtual keyboard, an RSS feed stream and apps to your tabletop surface. Although the release date is vaguely set for 2012, we already know EXOdesk will cost $1,299.
