POPSHumble mouse turns 40 and loses its touch "The mouse now faces unprecedented competition. Laptops which make no use of a mouse are an increasingly popular alternative to desktop computers for workers on the move. Apple's popular iPhone and Nintendo's Wii have shown the potential for touchscreens and movement sensors. HP is pushing a mouse-less TouchSmart PC. Microsoft has invested millions of dollars in a coffee table-shaped 'Surface' computer which responds to natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects." And still it has done its job in making computers more accessible... happy birthday :-)

POPSEconomic Common Cents?
Grasping the whole kit and kaboodle is sort of like a small fish trying to swallow a whale. One idea from his smoothly written economic article is how some rules have to be changed. One big bank failed because it's credit rating went down --but this caused a chain reaction of selling of its stock because the real large holders of stocks, Money Market Funds and Pension Funds have rules about what stocks they can hold...only stocks with certain good credit ratings. Or rules that say stocks must be sold if they become cheaper than $5.00 a share. Maybe the whole idea of speculating in the collapse of a stock's price is a bad idea; or computer programmed trading that can send shares down just because the computer program spots a .10-cent profit. Ten cents on a million shares adds up and not bad for one day's work. If you don't care about the survival of the company. For what it's worht, all the 'buzzwords,' and 'linguistic derivatives' are here. Some more ethereal than ot

POPSFixing it could improve our lives—and the planet: Batteries... It's an issue that goes beyond cars and mobile devices. To reduce carbon emissions, utilities are likely to shift more generating capacity from coal and natural gas to renewable sources like wind and solar. Solar cells and wind turbines require batteries because they provide power intermittently.

POPSParalyzed Man Speaks Again Using Brain Implant So they knew his brain's speech centers were still functioning. They just needed a way to connect those speech centers to a speech synthesizer - an artificial mouth if you will. Researchers implanted a special kind of electrode in his brain, one that's "impregnated with neurotrophic factors" that encourage brain neurons to grow into and around the electrode. Essentially this electrode forms a very strong connection with brain neurons, which results in a strong signal that reliably comes from the same part of the patient's brain over time. Over a period of weeks, Guenther and his team worked to decode the signals coming from the man's brain. Eventually, he was able "to produce three vowel sounds with good accuracy," said Guenther. The man produces these sounds as quickly as he would normal speech, and Guenther added, "The long-term goal within five years is to have him use the speech brain–computer interface to produce words directly."
