Lumosity Subscribe-SPLOSION! You Faster, Saner, Sharper-Eyed Players Already Know That Games Can Make You Smarter, -But Watch This Anyway
Even before Elizabeth Gould said, “PTUI!” to all the fixed-brain-cellers out there, I read an article on the subject ASAP tackles here that concluded the fast 3D FPS-style games with many crucial details required to complete a mission, raised activity in several brain regions, and ultimately, -intelligence.
Probably around the publish-date of this one by WSJ about the UMich Study.
–This was especially true for the type of player that got good at finding all the…

Ok Singularity-fans, when you look at the other trailers they have of the film, it appears a little less about technology than something like “Pirates of Silicon Valley”, and more of a thriller.

TED Video: Print Your Own Medicine
Check out Professor Lee Cronin’s short but interesting take on where Medicine, Apps, Big Data For Chemistry and 3D Printers might go in the near future.
The implications sound pretty huge, especially for shipping-costs and disintermediation, if the process can be standardized and controlled.

“Uh, we’re really sorry Mrs. Johnson, but we forgot a few atoms in there, and instead of HRT pills, you got Androgel 25.5%. Enjoy your new life as a man. -Yeah, I know. Shaving really is a pain. You get used to it though…”
