Tiny robots powered by living muscle have been created by scientists But when biological cells become attached to silicon - are they alive? "They're absolutely alive," Professor Montemagno told BBC News. "I mean the cells actually grow, multiply and assemble - they form the structure themselves. So the device is alive." The notion is likely to disturb many who already have concerns about nanotechnology.

Played with a 5mW green laser last April in Tokyo and it was loads of fun. Now you can get 40-60mW ones, which can burn though plastic film and be seen up to miles away and produce a solid "light saber". Droool.

Congrats to Mike and the ISf team!

Wireless Networking via lighting? Can this be?

This has been bugging me from day one in OS X. Thanks Francis!

Nice. If I had a new iPod, I'd get this.
