Senate Gives Telcos Free Pass On Warrantless Domestic Spying Program

Joel at BBG writes in five precise words what it means that the Senate has just granted retroactive immunity to telcos (AT&T, Verizon and others) for participating in the government’s warrantless wiretapping program that spied on American citizens: “We Lost. The Telcos Won.” https://gizmodo.com/senate-set-to-give-retroactive-immunity-to-at-t-and-oth-334874 Worse, they even knocked down two proposed amendments that would have…

DARPA Building Neuromorphic Brain on a Chip (Paging Sarah Connor)

DARPA’s brain-on-a-chip project (cleverly titled SyNAPSE, or Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics) sounds straight out of Cyberdyne’s portfolio: They want to “develop a brain inspired electronic ‘chip’ that mimics that function, size, and power consumption of a biological cortex.” That whole neuromorphic adaptive business sounds a whole lot like the T-800’s neural net…

Sippy Mask Turns You Into an Alien From Mos Eisley Cantina

In the light, this sippy mask by Jennifer Maestre gives me Darkman vibes, like there’s some horrible disfigurement underneath. But, under a black light, the whole thing glows, including the little drinkie tube, so I could definitely see more of a Star Wars chillin’ at the cantina type of look, especially with some more “in…

Xbox 360 Controller Mod Has Duplicate Buttons in the Rear

HG, or Head in the Game Controllers, had a brilliant idea to mod Xbox 360 controllers by duplicating some front face buttons onto the back. Why would you need this? So you won’t have to move your thumb away from the stick—which usually controls aiming or camera movement—in order to hit the action buttons. This…

This animatronic head is sold as a kit so you can learn the fun of building a fully robotic nut that can “turn left and right,” has moving eyes, eyelids and a mouth that “changes expressions”—though presumably not into a sexy pout, sorry robo-sex fans. BotBrain even has sensors that let it react to its…

Philips Patents Throwable Display For Gaming

Philips has a super interesting patent floating around from late last year. It involves a game with a throwable monitor, tossed like a ball, that can be tracked in real space.

Best Buy Declares Blu-ray the Winner

Best Buy turns Netflix’s hard right hook to HD DVD into a solid one-two smasher, stating it’s going to officially recommend Blu-ray over its battered, crippled rival.
