Drunken Gunmen comes to us heavy in reverb and ready to rock us to the farther reaches of the universe. Their sound is best described as Bauhaus meets Space Invaders. Deep Space, Distant Future is sort of an audio science fiction epic. Instrumental tracks such as “The Thousand Light Year Stare” and “Infused” are the most effective but Graeme Kirk’s vocals are alluringly full of enough menace and angst to please even the most jaded rocker.
The philosophy: Set up in a hall with various musical instruments, computers, and a bunch of electronic toys. Press record and start playing while consuming large amounts of alcohol. Pray for inspiration. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/free-improvised/6863-drunken-gunmenDrunken Gunmen comes to us heavy in reverb and ready to rock us to the farther reaches... more

http://wikiwig.com/2010/08/faster-maintenance-of-lg-washing-machine-by-using-smart-diagnosis-technology/
There is always a possibility certainly damaged for electronic goods. How we can improve quickly is the desire of all customers especially when talking about washing machines that are used every day. LG has recently announced their new technology called Smart Diagnosis where LG promises that the washer or dryer could be damaged more quickly repaired. The way it works is quite unique, when the washer or dryer is broken, we must call into LG repair center and told the problem, then through the LG technician, we will be guided to press a few buttons on the machine. After pressing a certain button then the washer will come out a certain sound that can be understood by the technician and then from the sound, the LG technician will ensure the damage. Off course, the technician could hear the sound, you must bring your phone into the washing machine. By Smart diagnosis, expected a damaged engine can be directly repaired without having to await the arrival of a technician or even to come, they can prepare the proper parts so that the repair time could be even faster. When you think it should be faster because technicians sometimes do not come often carry spare parts needed, so Smart Diagnosis seems quite promising.http://wikiwig.com/2010/08/faster-maintenance-of-lg-washing-machine-by-using-smart-diag... more

We talk about mini Bluetooth keyboard intended for use in mobile phones are small and would arguably still less convenient to use, although still more comfortable than using a virtual keyboard. Elecom Smart Phone Bluetooth Keyboard (Model: TK-FBP017BK) offers a mini Bluetooth Keyboard with a keyboard on the computer but still easy to carry around. This comfort one can be felt because it is big enough size keyboard that is 285.6 x 99.3 x 41 mm when not in use, this keyboard can be folded under its own weight was 165 g (excluding battery). The keyboard inside also has provided the stand holder for Android phones primarily for Xperia X10 that will make typing more comfortable.http://wikiwig.com/2010/08/elecom-smart-phone-bluetooth-keyboard-tk-fbp017bk/

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been the subject of media attention as she reluctantly testified at the war crimes tribunal for Charles Taylor, and offered claims that she had no idea what a blood diamond was. Although they may capture the attention of the media, blood diamonds are not the only conflict commodities—tin ore, used extensively in consumer electronics, is also mined in war-torn regions.Do blood diamonds capture too much of the media attention? What other conflict zone commodities should we be paying closer attention to?Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been the subject of media attention as she reluctantly... more

Norbert Wiener invented the field of cybernetics, inspiring a generation of scientists to think of computer technology as a means to extend human capabilities. He noticed that the feedback principle is also a key feature of life forms from the simplest plants to the most complex animals, which change their actions in response to their environment. Wiener developed this concept into the field of cybernetics...... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/your-details/399-invents-cyberneticsNorbert Wiener invented the field of cybernetics, inspiring a generation of scientists... more

Following up on a 2007 world record for the fastest transistor speed, Northrop Grumman announced today that it has shattered the world record for integrated circuit performance. The new circuit layout operates at 0.67 terahertz, or 0.67 trillion cycles per second, more than doubling the frequency of the fastest known IC in the world.
Northrop Grumman’s Terahertz Monolithic Integrated Circuit (TMIC) was developed as part of DARPA’s Terahertz Electronics program, which aims to introduce the next generation of high-performance electronics that push performance levels above the 1 terahertz center frequency range. Such electronics should lead to better communications technologies, sub-millimeter wave sensors, and terahertz imaging systems that blow current technologies out of the water.
Obviously, 0.67 terahertz doesn’t quite reach DARPA’s goals, which as always are quite ambitious. But TMIC amplifiers could still have an appreciable impact on technologies ranging from communications to radar to explosives detection. And naturally these advances should trickle down to benefit those of us who don’t have security clearance as well.
If you’re the type who really likes to dig into the nuts and bolts, the technical paper on the circuit is available in PDFFollowing up on a 2007 world record for the fastest transistor speed, Northrop Grumman... more

Popular technology trends come and ago so quickly. After the tech has its moment in the limelight and fades away, as it inevitably will (remember mini discs?), what does one do with the corresponding media? In most cases it’s thrown or given away, but in some cases it’s recycled. Artist Nick Gentry has turned his collection of old VHS tapes and floppy disks into art. Gentry’s focus as an artist is to explore how technological advancement affect society.

Do you really need that new model iPhone or the latest game console? Take a look at the gadgets you currently have: cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, game systems, etc., and ask yourself: “Is it still working? Do I really need to upgrade to the newest model if this one is working just fine?”
Holding off on buying new electronics not only saves you money, it also saves resources and keeps more electronics out of landfills (and from leaching harmful chemicals into the soil and water table).
Take it from the site Last Year’s Model, who encourages people to “save the planet through sheer laziness”, and check out their great excuses for keeping that old tech stuff. You can also share your story about how you’re using old gadgets instead of upgrading to new ones. (This is where I can brag about my almost 5 year-old iPod that I still use daily.)

http://www.infowars.com/20-signs-that-the-united-states-is-rapidly-becoming-a-totalitarian-big-brother-police-state/
.#1) A new bill being pushed by Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman would allow the U.S. military to round up large numbers of Americans and detain them indefinitely without a trial if they “pose a threat” or if they have “potential intelligence value” or for any other reason the President of the United States “considers appropriate”.
#2) Lawmakers in Washington D.C. working to create a new immigration bill have decided on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would be required to obtain.
#3) Barack Obama is backing a plan to create a national database to store the DNA of people who have been arrested but not necessarily convicted of a crime.
#4) Just to get on an airplane, Americans will now have to go through new full-body scanners that reveal every detail of our exposed bodies to airport security officials.
#5) If that wasn’t bad enough, the Transportation Security Administration has announced that airport screeners will begin roving through airports randomly taking chemical swabs from passengers and their bags to check for explosives.
#6) Starting this upcoming December, some passengers on Canadian airlines flying to, from or even over the United States without ever landing there, will only be allowed to board their flights once the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has determined they are not terrorists.
#7) Organic milk is such a threat that the FDA has been conducting military style raids on Amish farmers in Pennsylvania.
#8) An NYPD officer has broken his silence and has confessed that innocent citizens are being set up and falsely arrested and ticketed in order to meet quotas.
#9) A growing number of police departments across the U.S. are turning to mobile camera systems in order to fight motor vehicle theft and identify unregistered cars.
#10) For decades, Arizona has been known as “the sunset state”, but lately many frustrated residents have started calling it “the surveillance state”.
#11) Judges and police in Florida have been caught using “secret codes” on tickets in the state of Florida.
#12) An extensive investigation has revealed that between 2003 and 2007, that state of Texas quietly gave hundreds of newborn baby blood samples to a U.S. Armed Forces laboratory for use in a forensics database.
#13) A 6-year-old girl was recently handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.
#14) One 12-year-old girl in New York was recently arrested and marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk.
#15) In Florida, students have been arrested by police for things as simple as bringing a plastic butter knife to school, throwing an eraser, and drawing a picture of a gun.
#16) When a mother on a flight to Denver spanked both of her children and cussed out a flight attendant who tried to intervene, she suddenly found herself handcuffed and headed for prison. Why? She was charged with being a domestic terrorist under the Patriot Act.
#17) A new global treaty may force U.S. Internet service providers to spy on what you do online.
#18) A leaked Obama administration memo has revealed plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres of land from Montana to New Mexico.
#19) 56 percent of Americans questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll said that the U.S. government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.
#20) But one other recent poll found that 51 percent of Americans agree with this statement: ”It is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism.”
"Those who would sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither."http://www.infowars.com/20-signs-that-the-united-states-is-rapidly-becoming-a-totalitar... more

You've seen them: The multitaskers who hang out in coffee shops simultaneously sipping lattes, checking e-mail, having cell-phone conversations, and bouncing from site to site on their laptops.Or they sit in their offices answering e-mails while writing reports and taking phone calls. Maybe you're even one of them. But is this overload of information even good for people? In other words, are Blackberries-those handheld devices that allow you to access your e-mail, the Internet, games and more-actually turning your brain to mush?
Perhaps, shows a recent study out of Stanford University. After recruiting 100 students and putting them through several memory tests, scientists there claim that folks who have several electronic media going at once around them lose focus and attention, don't remember things as well, and have trouble switching from one task to another compared with people who concentrate on one thing at a time. The proof? The students were shown a string of alphabetical letters and asked to note when a particular letter was repeated. The students who normally did a lot of electronic multitasking found it much more difficult to realize when a letter was being repeated. They also were shown sets of red rectangles either alone or surrounded by a number of blue rectangles. The images were flashed twice, and the students were supposed to let researchers know if the red rectangles had changed position the second time. They were instructed to ignore the blue rectangles. The non-multitaskers completed the task easily, but the multitaskers were constantly distracted by the blue rectangles. The more images they were shown, the worse they did. The third portion of the study had the students look at letters and numbers simultaneously but focus on only either numbers or letters. When focusing on numbers, they had to say whether they were odd or even. When looking at letters, they needed to determine if they were vowels or consonants. The multitaskers were much more distracted than the single focusers and performed poorly.You've seen them: The multitaskers who hang out in coffee shops simultaneously... more

Have you ever been out and about and needed to make a copy of something right then and there? Maybe you’re an international super spy and run into this dilemma on a daily basis. Traditionally you’d have to take the original and run it through your scanner/copier or scan it into a computer to make a backup copy. Anyone can tell you this isn’t always convenient – sometimes for you, sometimes for the document’s owner. The SkyPix Handheld Scanner is a portable way to capture full color, 600 dpi resolution images directly to a microSD card or into your computer via a USB cable.
