Wow, a potential cure for all viruses! I really hope this takes off and doesn’t get buried by big pharma.

Dutch PlantLab Revolutionizes Farming: No Sunlight, No Windows, Less Water, Better Food | Singularity Hub

This is really so amazing! If I had millions to invest in this I would. I like the idea of bringing the crops into the cities with vertical farms. Less transportation costs, fresher produce, better control over resource utilization, controlled environments for optimal plant growth and no pesticides. Could even put the grocery store in the same building! These are huge advantages to traditional farming.

If the electrical needs can be met through renewable sources like wind and solar, well then, this endeavor starts to look more and more like the farm of the future. If it weren’t for replicators, I’m sure they’d be doing this on Star Trek.

Such an amazing amount of power to get that much mass into orbit! It’s like watching science fiction only not fiction. Now it’s a thing of the past. 30 years of shuttle launches, but no more. Check out the video of the last ever launch. There are some awesome perspectives as seen from the Atlantis shuttle and booster rockets.

‪Guitar Oscillations Captured with iPhone 4‬‏

This is really cool!

What we’re seeing is not actually how the strings look, obviously. It’s caused by the rolling shutter effect, which is when a digital camera scans across the frame either horizontally or vertically rather than capturing the entire frame at once. So parts of the frame have to play catch up, and we’re left with guitar strings making crazy waves and shapes. Awesome!
