\nThis sounds like an ideal villain lair, and the pictures in the article support that claim.<\/p>\n

\nThis is how the end begins: ape selfies. Read how a photojournalist, whose camera was pinched by a black macaca nigra monkey who then took thousands of photos (including a selfie), is now claiming that Wikipedia has no right to use the picture. Wikipedia is claiming that the copyright belongsto the monkey, and therefore is in the public domain.<\/p>\n
\nIt could happen! Seriously, JMS is working on a script and seeking funding right now.<\/p>\n
\nSure, they start out flat and uninteresting, but they don’t stay that way. Watch as a robot assembles itself out of flat metal and walks away.<\/p>\n
\nGot a crack in that nice piece of lumber you bought for shelves? No worries! Fill it in with glowing resin. Not sure how that would look? Check out this album.<\/p>\n
\nIBM has released a chip that includes synapse-like elements on the chip. The coming future of AI? Probably. But it’s no photonics.<\/p>\n
\nSo in the 50’s, this guy (scientist Jim Tuck) built what he hoped was going to be a fusion reactor, and it looks a lot like the arc reactor from Tony Stark’s lab. That’s Iron Man, folks. What a great kick-off to a scifi story, though. And he really did call it the Perhapsatron.<\/p>\n
\nSo these parents discover a storage space next to their kid’s bedroom, but instead of telling him about it, they hide the entrance behind a heavy dresser, wait until his 4th birthday, have it secretly renovated, and make it into his own Secret Treasure Room. Personally, I would have gone for more of a pirate motif in my Secret Treasure Room, but it’s not bad.<\/p>\n
\nWho’d have thunk it? Tucked away in a sleepy upstate NY town, this eatery features fish fingers(french toast sticks) and pudding, plus a smashing decor.<\/p>\n
\nMakerBot (3D printer makers) and JPL (without rockets, it’s just science) solicited entries in a contest for a Mars habitat design that could be constructed using ,\u009d you guessed it ,\u009d 3D printers. Check out the three entries that one, including one pyramid design and one based on beehives.<\/p>\n
\nThat’s right, build a virtual digital storage device inside the game (game) Minecraft. Essentially, this person builds a giant assembly of blocks and moving bits to create the drive. It gives me ideas for a way to storesome kind of special encryption key ,\u009d just encode it onto a virtual storage device you built inside a game, and let’s see someone figure that out.<\/p>\n
\nI think we may have reached a nirvana of geek topics: 3D printed, robots, and hover bikes. Woo!<\/p>\n
\nWhat benefits there will be to mining the asteroid belt, in a handy bunch of info graphics.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/john1.bmp\" "\\"\\"")
