This is one of the coolest homemade mods I've seen recently for gaming consoles. It really has the potential to revolutionize First Person Shooters like they are now. This mod consists of a 7" display and a few gyros mounted on top of a regular console weapon. The result is simply awesome. Enjoy!

This very cool video, covers the evolution form fish to dinosaurs mainly. It also has a short segment for the evolution of humanoids. Unfortunately it doesn't cover birds and mammals, but even so it spans over 282 million years. It reminds me of the upcoming game, Spore, which I'm eagerly awaiting and I've already pre-orderd it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-Spore/dp/B000FKBCX4. It's going to be launched on the 1st of May 2008, but I'm not taking any chances, because it's going to be a hit!

Mrs. Garrison teaches the boys about evolution....well you can't call it teaching, but it's funny as heck. Hilarious! *Tears*

Here's a funny clip from one episode of the Simpsons called: Evolution of the Simpsons. It shows the evolution of man, but Simpsons style. This video may be a little old, but it's still funny. Enjoy the evolution of the Simpsons!

This is a revolutionary Electronic ink display from Philips. It's able to unfold, revealing a display, bigger than the actual device. This electronic ink display is amongst the most interesting technologies presented in 2006. Probably that the electronic ink display will arrive in devices similar to PDA as soon as 2007.

This video was captured by a nature research vessel south-west of the Japanese coast. The fish flew for 45 seconds, before going back in the water, surpassing the 42 seconds that was registered in the '20s by an American researcher. It's amazing to see evolution in action! Let's drink a beer for Darwin, because he deserves it!

Wow. This kid manages to play Dance Dance Revolution while juggling. This kind of coordination, could be put to better use in my opinion...For example car racing where such skills would surely make it easier for him!

The animal kingdom is full of surprises. For example this eagle is so strong and has such big wings, that it's capable of grabbing a mountain goat and flying with it! It's simply unbelievable. I gotta say that evolution has some strange performers!

Nature can seem very odd sometimes. But just because you're high up on the evolution scale, it doesn't guarantee that you are the same on the food chain. Really amazing!

It's truly a breathtaking view. It's probably only used in movies for now, but if it will make it to the computer games industry, it would truly represent a revolution! Wow!

The asymmetry of the skull of flatfish is the result of a progressive adaptation of the species. A study in Nature The bizarre anatomy of flatfish had surprised even Charles Darwin, which had not managed to find an explanation for the asymmetry of their skull. All adult in this family - including the sole, turbot, halibut - in fact, have both eyes on the top of the head. But in fossils of fish of their progenitors, this feature was absent. The mystery of the asimmetric skull is now being revealed by a study carried out by Matt Friedman, a researcher at the Committee on Evolutionary Biology and the University of Chicago and State Department of Geology at the Field Museum and published in Nature: in the Eocene era, about 50 million years ago, there were fish with intermediate characteristics. The U.S. researcher says it is enough to review the collections of fossils preserved in museums in some European countries (Italy, France, Austria, United Kingdom) to be able to find two kinds primitive - Amphistium, described for the first time more than 200 years ago, and the Heteronectes, unknown until now - in which the eye migration is partial. "We discovered thus an intermediate stage of development of these species," said Friedman, "showing that the asymmetry of the head of the fish we know today is the result of a gradual natural evolution."

The ventral striatum, a part of the brain already known to be associated with rewards and unexpected stimuli, is the center of our desire for adventure. The research in Neuron. A group of researchers from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at the University College of London has identified the area of the brain directly linked to our desire for adventure. Or, more precisely, our propensity to live new experiences and to experience what we do not know. For the study, published in Neuron, researchers have developed a test: the participants were presented a series of images associated with different sums of money put into a premium, and were asked to guess which of the sums was higher. Although the volunteers easily could identify the image associated with richer rewards, when it was introduced a new figure, all of them tended to choose the latter rather than those already known with secure profits. Through magnetic resonance imaging, neuroscientists have noticed that the area of the ventral Striatum (an area of the brain already known to be associated to receive a reward and unexpected stimuli) was particularly active when participants opted for the novelty.

The entire genome of a person can now be sequenced in only four months and with less than one million dollars. To make "guinea pig" was James Watson The moment in which we can know the gene for gene our identity is always near you: a new method developed by Jonathan Rothberg, the research firm American 454 Life Sciences, has enabled sequenziare the genome of a person in a very short time and with a significantly reduced cost compared to what is required by previous systems. The genome sequenced in the new way is to James D. Watson, the famous discoverer, with Francis Crick, the molecular structure of DNA in 1953: This is the second human code entirely decifrato after that of Craig Venter, the scientist-entrepreneur who first, last September, made public l ' entire sequence of its genome. The new system, however, is a major step forward compared to the pioneering conquest of Venter, both in terms of timing and costs: to map the genome of Watson it took only four months and less than one million dollars (the system Venter had applied for some years and about one hundred million).

Cloned cells were transplanted into the brain of mice who suffered from this disease and they replaced sick neurons. The success of therapeutic cloning in mice. Researchers of the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York, led by neuro-scientist Lorenz Studer, have treated the guinea pigs suffering from Parkinson with the transplantation of embryonic stem cells obtained from the skin of rodents themselves sick. The experiment, described in Nature Medicine, not only has recorded cases of rejection, but also significant improvements in the evolution of clinical pathology. The group Studer - after having caused lesions in the brains of mice that would determine the same effects of Parkinson's disease - has transferred the nuclei of cells inside the tail skin cell mouse egg "emptied" of its nucleus, through the technique known as therapeutic cloning (or Scnt, Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer). The cloned cells, cultivated, were then developed into blastocysts. The researchers thus generated 187 lines of embryonic stem cells from 24 different mice, most of which later differentiate into neurons capable of producing dopamine.

Filming particles is now possible. It was done for the first time by a group of Swedish researchers using extremely short pulses of light Getting images of electrons that do not appear to "move" has been impossible because of the speed of these microscopic particles. But a group of researchers in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Lund (Sweden) now has found a way to shoot the movement of an electron using an innovative technique that provides for the use of flash light of extremely short duration.
