Behold the future, from the movie adaptation of David Mitchell acclaimed novel Cloud Atlas. The massive movie 鈥?stuffed with a huge A-List cast including Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, and Halle Berry 鈥?jumps across time, with each actor playing different characters in different time periods. It a massive undertaking that leaps all the way into the future, 2144 Seoul to be precise. And here is the first ever concept art for the future world of Cloud Atlas. Twitch Film spied a few new pieces of concept art over at Hancin stanley cup ema picturing the dystopian future set in Seoul which will most likely be popping up in the 6th episode in the movie 鈥?since the picture is rumored to be broken into stories just like the book .

And finally here is a picture of the actress Bae Doona playing the clone character named Sonmi-451. Cloud Atlas is currently being filmed simul stanley cup taneously by the The Wachowskis and co-director Tom Tykwer. The hopeful release date is in October of 2012.

I hate history revisionists, but not as much as I hate George Lucas for making Han shoot last. Now, with Star Wars 3D stanley thermos coming, he now saying that the scene modification wasn ;t a change. He claims that Han NEVER shot first: The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo [who seemed to be the one who shot first in the original] to be a cold-blooded killer, but he actually isn ;t. It had been done in all close-ups and it was confusing about who did what to whom. I put a little wider shot in there that made it clear that Greedo i stanley becher s the one who shot first, but everyone wanted to think that Han shot first, because they wanted to think that he actually just gunned him down. Poppycock. George, how do you have the thermal detonators to try to rewrite history in this way Do you think we are stupid Wasn ;t it enough to paint that stupid laser blast coming at a stupid angle from Greedo Do you really think that, stanley thermos mug if Greedo shot first, he would have missed Han at point blank No, George, you can draw all the lasers you want and add all the wider shots you want, but you can ;t rewrite history. If Greedo had shot first in that scene setting you directed, Han would be dead, period. Nobody can miss at that distance. Not even a stormtrooper. George Lucas, stop saying words.

The neural pathways that make up the brain arguably represents the most fiendishly complex electrical system in the cosmos, but what if not every brain is actually electrical One pint-sized wasp might have a mechanical brain that runs like clockwork. The greenhouse whitefly parasite measures in at about half a millimeter, but that tininess is nothing compared to that of its neurons. According to researchers at Germany University of G枚ttingen, about a third of the axon fibers that connect together the wasp neurons measure in at less than 0.1 micrometer in diamater. That significant because, well, it impossible for axons to be that thin. The problem is that an axon that thin would be vulnerable to spontaneously firing, even when it received no chemical signals. Such axons would continually relay inaccurate information to and from the brain, meaning the wasp wouldn ;t be able to trust the sensory data it received and likely unable to properly act on it anyway. The wasp should be effectively paralyzed by the neural noise inside its own brain. New Scientist rep stanley cup orts on a possible explanation for how the wasps manage to circumvent this rather elementary problem with their brains.

Yet when the BBC ran a story on the practice of hiring scantily-clad models to stand around booths and draw stares from wandering men, it found an interesting defender: Consumer Electronics Association president and CEO Gary Shapiro, the guy who puts on the biggest electronics trade show in the USA. Well, sometimes it is a little old school, but it does work, Shapiro tells the BBC. People naturally want to go towards what they consider pretty.

The Internet isn ;t only on your screen. Or behind your couch. Or in Google data centers. It also underwater, where fiber-optic cables stretch across oceans and loop around continents. S stanley deutschland atellites are like dial-up. Nobody uses them. Undersea cables make the Internet global, with the most sophisticated of them capable of transmitting nearly ten terabits of data per second, compressed through just a handful of fiber-optic strands. There are only hundreds of these cables in waters around the world. And they are all preposterously proportioned, as thin as a garden hose and as long as-actually, nothing. No human construction matches them. They are the longest tubes ever made, and, for the first time ever, there a truly accurate interactive online map of them.

There a laundry list of traditional medicine ingredients which are of dubious medical value, stanley cups and are harvested brutally. However, one such traditional remedy might save lives 鈥?and thankfully it already been created synthetically in the lab. Bear bile was historically harvested from the internal or stanley website gans of bears kept in tiny cages, and was deeply desired because it contains ursodeoxycholic acid UDCA . According to traditional medicine, it used to reduce fever, protect the liver, improve eyesight, break down gallstones, and act as an anti-inflammatory. Western medicine calls it useful for decreasing production of cholesterol in the body and dissolving gallstones. Now an even more important use may have been discovered for it. New research has shown that UDCA could treat treat abnormal heart rhythm arrhythmia , both in fetuses and people who have suffered heart attacks. The UDCA attacks myofibroblasts, which are pathological cells that interfere with sig stanley cup nal transmission in the heart. The acid alters the electrical properties of the myofibroblasts, stopping them from blocking the electrical signals across the heart. And yes, it can be synthesized without torturing any more bears.

Google has added another family member stanley becher to its autonomous vehicle program, and an eagle-eyed reader in Southern California caught the Big G Lexus RX450h out and about during testing. From what we can gather from the image, Google has refined the design of its top-mounted array of sensors, culling things down into a more compact package that both smaller and more aerodynamic than those found on its fleet of Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles. Google began testing its autonomous vehicle program over two years ago under the supervision of Dr. Sebastian Thrun, the director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and a Google engineer who co-invented the Street View mapping service. Initially, Google ran the program in stealth mode, using six Prius hybrids and one modified Audi TT, later pulling the covers off its skunkworks project in late 2010. A Google spokesperson tells Wired, In the course of our work, we experiment with testing our algorithms on various vehicles to help us improve our technology, and confirm stanley cup ed that the Lexus crossover is part of Google expanded fleet.
