Last month, Top Gear magazine put together a truly unprecedented selection of supercars on one of the world’s best driving roads: Italy’s Stelvio Pass. The fastest production ever, the Bugatti Veyron Supersport, in its first-ever performance car showdown. Ferrari’s new FF. The McLaren MP4-12C. Porsche’s finest ever 911: the GT3 RS 4.0. Jaguar’s new XKR-S. Ariel’s mental Atom Mugen. BMW’s new accessible thrill machine, the 1M Coupe. The Ford Mustang Boss Laguna Seca. The Zonda F. And a few more besides. Altogether, a combined value of £3,718,090 and 6,071bhp.

In 1970, Les Arts Décoratifs, Paris, presented a selection of competition cars, “Bolides Design.” A special jury chose the models with the idea of the car as a design object, a work of art, showing that “art and technique, each at their own level, are the expression of man and his relationship with design.” The Ralph Lauren collection can be seen from the same perspective.
For its first presentation in Europe, the Ralph Lauren Car Collection was recently on exhibition at Les Arts Décoratifs. Among the major car collections in the world, that of iconic American fashion designer Ralph Lauren stands out more than any other as synonymous with excellence. With this collection of the most prestigious sports cars from the 1930s to present day, Ralph Lauren shows that the automobile is a major art form created by the industry’s biggest names: Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Porsche and of course, Ferrari, the high point of this unique collection.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution photographs, a photo-gallery and two videos of the collection, “The Art of the Automobile: Speed, Style and Beauty.”

Test run of (d)iskette (O)rgan doing Toccata & Fugue ..... Features two 3 1/2" drives and two 5 1/4" drives connected to a PIC18f14k50 microcontroller. It interfaces to any MIDI source via MIDI over USB. Straight MIDI would also be possible with an additional small circuit and some minor firmware changes. This initial version can respond to all 128 MIDI notes, and pitch bends +/- 2 semitones. As it can produce only four simultaneous notes, and each drive has a different range and tonal characteristics, best results are obtained by arranging compositions by hand. However, it features two modes of operation: in one mode, MIDI channels 1 through 4 are played directly on floppy drives 1 through 4. In the other mode, all 16 MIDI channels are read, and notes are "intelligently" divvied out on a first-come, first-serve basis. "Note stealing" ensures that melody lines sound, but chords are often cut short. One or the other produces acceptable results for many unmodified MIDI files straight out of your favorite media player.

A rollerblader hurtling down a public street at night has managed to set off a speed camera.
Sam Tuffnell, 28, believes he reached a speed of 40mph on his fourth attempt to make the camera flash on the road in Hastings, East Sussex.
"I may have been going a bit faster than that," said Sam from Brighton. "I have been towed by a car at 65mph and it didn't feel far off that. I was trying to go faster."
Sam wore a fluorescent jacket to make sure the camera caught him after two attempts dressed entirely in black with no lights failed.
The authorities won't be able to fine Sam despite the fact that he broke the speed limit because the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 says non-motorised vehicles can not be prosecuted for speeding.

Among other important tasks of quantum photonics there is a problem of building an interface between atoms and light photons. Joint think-tank of physicists from Russia and United States studies how single photons interact with quantum objects and has already built a prototype device for transferring information from an atom to a photon. The device is an integrated chip in an artificial atom with a fibre port. The simplest application of future device is a memory cell, as for more complicated things, this device can become a single-photon transistor, working on the level of individual quanta, for building complex logic systems.. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/16003-quantum-computing-reaches-for-true-power-the-pioneers-of-qcAmong other important tasks of quantum photonics there is a problem of building an... more

I captured this footage right after my mom and I slid off the road near Hysham, Montana. The road conditions were terrible that morning, but luckily when we flew off due to the ice and wet snow, we were able to maneuver through the burrow pit between interstate lanes, and not hurt ourselves or the car.I captured this footage right after my mom and I slid off the road near Hysham,... more

I know that I've made a lot of noise about how high speed rail is falling apart (and getting replaced by out-of-control high-speed buses), thanks to some newly elected governors who are shutting down the projects in their states. But rail is indeed still (slowly) coming to the US. Transportation Secretary Roy LaHood announced the latest updates to the plan today, and here's what they look like.

Weaknesses in the architecture behind the Internet mean that surfing can sometimes lead to slow speeds and a tiresome wait for a video to load. Redeveloping the whole architecture of the Internet is an option recently discussed even by Internet pioneers. However, a group of European engineers decided to go the opposite way and to monitor traffic and tailor services to meet demand.
