Moore's Law Might Actually Last Another 75 Years
Moore's Law is mention anytime there's an advancement in processing speeds, and that may keep happening for another 75 years. Physicists are speculating that, assuming Moore was right, we'll max out on processing speed at that point. More » -

Headbang Hero Delights Hardest-Core Rhythm Gamers, Chiropractors
It's the next obvious step in the progression, and the one essential ingredient Rock Band forgot: Strap on Headbang Hero's accelerometer-equipped wireless wig, flash the horns, and show those emo girlymen how it's done. More » -

120 Feet of Video Art: Final Exams at NYU's Big Screens Class
Dan Shiffman isn't like most professors. Instead of Scantron sheets and bluebooks, Shiffman prefers to give his final exams on a 120-foot video wall that's the equivalent of six 16:9 displays linked end-to-end. -

Custom Nervous System Jewelry is Carved to Your Algorithmic Designs
Designers Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg have come up with a mathematical way to design jewelry. Via their Nervous System site, you steer open source "Processing" algorithms to produce a pattern you like. This is then machined by water-jet, etched and even gold-plated for you into real jewelry. Currently they've got a particle algorithm dubbed Radiolaria (think: bubbles in glass) and a diffusion-limited one, Dendrite (think: coral) but will soon add a tree-like Algae one. The prices vary, of course, depending on what you want—the gold necklace in the image costs $70. If you prefer, you can choose a pre-made pattern... but where's the fun in that?
