I don’t know if the execs at Microsoft will be clamoring for this design anytime soon, but the idea of integrating the mobile PC into our Read more… »
Army dudes sat down with scientists at University of Michigan and other schools and asked for a simple frickin’ bionic bat with frickin’ stereo cameras, miniaturized radar, ultra-sensitive self-guidance, “energy scavenging” recharging capability and a radio to send data back to troops in urban combat zones. Was that too much to ask? Here’s how it’s working out for them: Read more… »
