Incredible video, click through to watch: "Since Deb Roy and his wife brought their son home from the hospital, Roy has captured his son's every movement and word with a series of fisheye-lens cameras installed in every room. The purpose was to understand how we learn language. A combination of new software and human transcription called Blitzscribe allowed them to parse 200 terabytes of data to capture the emergence and refinement of specific words in Roy’s son’s vocabulary."

Dori Drewieske I understand the desire to focus on problems at home versus abroad, but i argue that the level of poverty here doesnt even compare to the level in some developing regions. They (in this case 'orphans') may have to contend with a complete lack of resources and a corrupt or nonexistent government. In America (or another industrialized nation from where you're reading this), people (orphans) have access to social services, Big Brother Big Sister programs, shelters, and specialized tutoring. Not to mention we have law enforcement that cares enough to enforce responsibilty to ensure human rights and justice. People in many regions have no one to go to to report basic safety issues. And that's why it's important organizations like this address concerns around the world. Still, it's good that there people on both sides of the issue, and that we debate it. Thanks for your input - it got Pinteresters thinking!

Kathy Reilly well this is sad....while children all over the world are suffering we in the western world want to argue about semantics.....give or dont give but lets not argue about who is more important or where your money should go...that is a completely personal choice and one not to be criticised! Really sad that this debate so easily took the focus off such a worthy cause.....lets remember the kids folks.....where ever they are.

Dutch Engineer Jarno Smeets has achieved birdlike flight: “At one moment you see the ground moving away, and then suddenly you’re free, a really intense feeling of freedom. The true feeling of flying. A fucking magical moment. The best feeling I have felt in my life.” — edit: is this fake?

Harvard University engineers have come up with a production technique inspired by pop-up books and origami that allows tiny robots to be mass-produced in sheets. The Harvard Monolithic Bee (or Mobee), for example, turns from a flat shape into a 2.4-millimetre-tall robot in just one movement. The folding process takes less than a second.

Friedrich Kirschner came up with a 3D scanner that's made out of LEGOs, a bowl, a webcam and milk. What's up with the milk? Well, he dips in whatever he wants to scan in the milk, then takes shot after shot as he pours in more milk. By measuring up the milk in each shot, he can get a semi-accurate outline of whatever he's scanning.

In 1987, Apple released this concept video for Knowledge Navigator, a voice-based assistant combined with a touchscreen tablet computer. Based on the dates mentioned in the Knowledge Navigator video, it takes place on September 16, 2011. The date on the professor's calendar is September 16, and he's looking for a 2006 paper written "about five years ago," setting the year as 2011. And this morning, at the iPhone keynote, Apple announced Siri, a natural language-based voice assistant, would be built into iOS 5 and a core part of the new iPhone 4S. So, 24 years ago, Apple predicted a complex natural-language voice assistant built into a touchscreen Apple device, and was less than a month off.

UC Berkeley scientists have developed a system to capture visual activity in human brains and reconstruct it as digital video clips. Eventually, this process will allow you to record and reconstruct your own dreams on a computer screen.

The Festo folks now have a zoo's worth of creatures: a water-based mechanical jellyfish called an AquaJelly, an AquaPenguin, an AquaRay, an air-born barracuda called an Airacuda. I've read that their next critter will be a bionic octopus. They also dabble in human body parts, mechanical arms, torsos, articulated hands. They have a Festo Humanoid.
