Nice and clear summary of the state of the art. The Sony video in the article was good too. i think the lessons learned from the Palm Pilot, hand writing system, was a good example of how to make useful robots. Instead of perfecting hand r

Yes indeed. I think the whole air pollution question is a distraction to the bug problem. (Rather an addition to?) There are serious issues with modern gasoline, and it's byproducts of combustion, though. All together there are a lot o

Persistent pollution - there is a whole class of pesticides: herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, etc. That use complex chlorinated hydrocarbons, that stay in the environment, in various forms, and which often degrade into more toxic, and

This is mind blowing. It is very well written, and easy to understand. Another very cool use of scanning electron microscopy, and computational fluid dynamics. "Our experiment combines three-dimensional reconstructions of morphology an

That's great! It reminds me of the tests Boot magazine used to do, just a user, commenting on what happens, when you use a product.

I always wondered about that limit. There were many stories going around about hardware, memory limits, but this sounds much more believable.

I do not believe it is rare. I think that it is the same with bad news and tragedy, the news reports only those. Behind all the sad stories, the frustrated stories, and everything else that is loud, there is a quiet passion that supports t

Yes. Makes measurable difference. Especially big picture windows. Other things to consider: is the type of glass. In places like Arizona you may not want sunlight to get through, but further north, the sun can provide a great deal of heat.

A cool trick, although takes practice to get it right, is shoot with camera through a binocular lens. Can do that with SLR lenses too, similar issues: light leakage, stability, edge effects, etc. But it's fun.

I was just reading Master and Commander series of books. There is a great scene where Maturin (the surgeon/naturalist) is taking notes while watching a pair of Mantis's mate; they continue while the female bites off the male'

This is so cool! It finally helps explain all those weird piano keys when playing music notes; Like diminished. Melody on right hand, But left hand - shows c7dim Or something. If you are not a music major, this helps, so much!

That possibly explains the mysterious leaking battery problems. I remember that was an issue over twenty five years ago, which taught us not to leave batteries in devices. But then we accepted that they don't leak anymore. Then in the

Do you have any thoughts why an app like here we go, isn't made available on f-droid. Or the apk isn't made available from their website? (Perhaps it's a bigger discussion than in a comment, but I'm sure there are a lot

As with most gifts, the giving of presents is often more meaningful for the person giving. The save with kids toys. The parents are really buying it for themselves, perhaps to express their feelings. As an aside, the parents are also learn
