Researchers devise neural implant that learns over time

This is a very cool development in the area of brain-machine interfaces, and will probably propel artificial limb technology by leaps and bounds. It will be wonderful... until the machines rise up and overthrow us.

Pursuing the Next Level of Artificial Intelligence

This is a good profile on Daphne Koller, who is on the bleeding edge of a very promising approach to developing artificial intelligence, which is based more on emulating the world works rather than attempting to build out logic trees.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't once again point out that you should be preparing for the robot revolution, as well as our eventual servitude to our future machine overlords.

She didn’t spend her time looking at a computer monitor. “I find it distressing that the view of the field is that you sit in your office by yourself surrounded by old pizza boxes and cans of Coke, hacking away at the bowels of the Windows operating system,” she said. “I spend most of my time thinking about things like how does a cell work or how do we understand images in the world around us?”
“My husband still berates me for not having jumped on the Google bandwagon at the beginning,” she said. Still, she insists she does not regret her decision to stay in academia. “I like the freedom to explore the things I care about,” she said.
That philosophy has led her to do research in game theory and artificial intelligence, and more recently in molecular biology.
Her tools led to a new type of cancer gene map based on examining the behavior of a large number of genes that are active in a variety of tumors. From the research, scientists were able to develop a new explanation of how breast tumors spread into bone.
Ms. Koller has led research that has greatly increased the scope of existing Bayesian-related software. “When I started in the mid- to late 1980s, there was a sense that numbers didn’t belong in A.I.,” she said in a recent interview. “People didn’t think in numbers, so why should computers use numbers?”

Computerized Combat Glove

It's really only a matter of time before this kind of technology is being implanted rather than worn. And then... here come the cyborgs.

Tiny Pill-Sized Plasma Bulb is Brighter Than Streetlight

This is awesome. I want one of these in a flashlight. Other thoughts: any technology that converts gas into plasma to work is cool in my book.

The 500,000 GB MP3 Player (Well, not yet.)

Don't get too excited, this is still a long way off. This article really just deals with a nanotechnology breakthrough making this kind of storage possible. This technology could store appoximately 4 Petabits per square inch on a plastic (not silicon) chip.

Second Life, in a move to encourage development has released the source code of their client application under GPL v.2. This is great news for the open source community, particularly Linux users.

Also exciting is the articulation of Linden Labs vision
