This Nerf Arsenal Is Your Foam-Guerrilla-Warlord Deal of the Day [Dealzmodo]

It doesn’t matter whether you’re trying to maintain rule in the face of the intern resistance or whether you’re trying to break the chains of school oppression, there’s no brand of dart gun more trusted than Nerf. Foam wars get serious—and the losers are often the ones underarmed. Not having not enough Nerf guns is the easiest way to lose a Nerf war. The other trap would-be Nerf warlords run into is running out of ammunition: every time you shoot a dart, regardless of its accuracy, you’re basically giving your opponent ammunition. Fire a few, and now you’re unarmed. More »
Normally, one would associate the “Appear Offline” status to be confined to the realm of instant messengers, but here we are with word that Battle.net gamers on World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III will soon be able to have the choice of selecting “Appear Offline” as part of one’s Battle.net social-status options, keeping Available, Busy, and Away company. It does make us pause and wonder for a moment – why didn’t Blizzard think of this right from the very beginning? Perhaps they did but haven’t figured it out, or it was totally overlooked – no matter, “Appear Offline” will soon arrive, where you can go ahead and do your own thing on one of the above mentioned games in complete radio silence without having your Real ID friends, BattleTag friends, and character-level friends to interrupt your personal quiet time.
Yes sir, the iPhone 5 has not been officially released just yet (not until tomorrow, that is), but this does not mean that members of the press have to wait like everyone else. No sir, the initial slew of press reviews are out, and perhaps one of these units might have ended up in Germany, considering how German site iPhone-Garage claimed to have one of these highly sought after handsets, performing a teardown of it in the process. Assuming this is true, then iPhone-Garage would surely have beaten iFixit to the punch in terms of an iPhone 5 teardown.
Daredevil – the man without fear, could very soon make his way from fiction to fact is work by this particular group of scientists were to continue in greater detail. It seems that researchers over at Uppsala University conducted a study that showed how newly formed emotional memories can be erased from, of all places, the human brain. This possibility will definitely throw open new doors to how humans think and are wired. For instance, when we learn something, a lasting long-term memory is created through the help of the consolidation process, that is based on the formation of proteins. Whenever we recall something, the memory becomes unstable for a moment before it is stabilized by another consolidation process.
Both medics on the battlefield as well as army doctors can be said to be professional colleagues, although it is by no means a stretch of the imagination to figure out who has the more “exciting” operation theater to work in. Medics tend to be thrown into situations where wounded soldiers require urgent and immediate attention where a trained surgeon would come in handy, and said surgeon would be able to better do his job once he has gotten hold on the background of the injury and the subsequent medical details in order to dispense with the proper care. Apart from that, triaging multiple injuries in the field through the decision of who will ride the medevac first could be improved further if doctors at the field hospital have a better idea on what the wounded’s status is. This is why the US Army wants to develop a system which is capable of managing patient data from injury site to recovery, where it will include delivering live audio/video communication for medics in the field.
