Imagine being able to backup all your memories, images you have seen, sounds you had heard – all to a Blu-Ray disc and storing them for eternity? Well a researcher claims that this will be possible in the next 20 years! The Daily Mail reported that Raymond Kurzweil who is known for a lot of work with voice recognition technology told guests at a ”future talk” even in Vienna that human brain back was technically possible and that we already possess the technology to make that a possibility.
Not just that, Kurzweil also said that by the next twenty years, thousands of nanobot computers will be in our blood healing our bodies and improving our performance. These same machines will also be able to collect and backup all content in our brains!

A clever modder has crammed a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) into a NES game cartridge. Not only that - it has a screen and controller built-in too!
Sadly, this isn't a full sized NES pared down - but a software emulator. I mean the guy isn't a miracle worker or anything - do you remember how big the NES was?
As well as being able to play NES classics such as Super Mario Bros, this thing can play GameBoy titles and play mp3s and video.A clever modder has crammed a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) into a NES game... more

Video advertisements will appear in an upcoming print edition of Entertainment Weekly. Yes, that's right, an advert containing moving images and, presumably, sound will be in a paper magazine!
How will this extraordinary feat be achieved? Well there's a small, thin, LCD display - with a resolution of 320x240 pixels (pretty standard for mobiles these days) - a chip that can store 40 minutes worth of video and a battery that lasts up to 70 minutes (and can be recharged by mini-USB).
How much does this all cost? Who knows - but the BBC has excelled at pointing out the obvious with this gem...

The UK's Home Office are fearful that one day an army of dressed-up, robotic 'suicide' bombers will wreak havoc on Britain's streets!

Love belting out karaoke classics at 3 in the morning, but have whiny neighbours and paper thin walls? Well don't fret as here's a solution designed for such a problem...
Introducing the world's first silent karaoke microphone - the Mute-Mic! It creates a 'cone of silence' around the microphone, so all you hear in your headphones is your voice.
This 'cone of silence' thingy looks remarkably like those 'feminine' adapters supplied with portable pee-pots (y'know in those Sunday newspaper supplements). Or is it just me?
These babies are Wii compatible as well - so what are you waiting for?Love belting out karaoke classics at 3 in the morning, but have whiny neighbours and... more
