Virtual reality training can speed up laparoscopic surgery by 29% and reduce mistakes by a whopping 600%, according to a study cited by NVIDIA this week. The peer-reviewed study, which was published in “Annals of Surgery,” resonates with many other studies pointing to gaming as a way to improve motor skills, memory, mental processing speeds, […]
This weekend a document was spilled in part through the sharing platform Scribd, showing off the LG-made Nexus 5 in part. This document was lost for a day or two, thanking in part a couple of 404-ed webpage sources, but today we’ve been passed a collection of images and snaps from another internal document from […]
Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 was released onto the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 just a few weeks ago with many reviewers and fans of the series agreeing it’s quite an offering from the company. One group that you wouldn’t expect to enjoy the game are moms, who we think would prefer to have the sex, drugs and violence of the game toned down a bit so their children can enjoy the game. As you’ll see from a segment that aired on Saturday Night Live this past weekend, it looks like moms can enjoy the game just as much as their teenage sons.
Saturday Night Live cast member Kate McKinnon played Pat Lynhart, a mother from Hartford, Connecticut who just so happens to share the same sentiment as the rest of us do about Grand Theft Auto 5: it’s friggin great. Lynhart’s review of Grand Theft Auto 5 is as over the top as the game itself, with the mom going off on how much more she enjoys playing the game than she does taking care of her children. Let’s just hope calling out Wei Cheng of the Triad clan doesn’t cost her the next time she plays Grand Theft Auto 5 since we know how tough his gang can be.

Geeky soaps are becoming more and more detailed. I still remember being impressed by the D20 soap and the controller soaps. But now we have soaps that look like freakin’ sandcrawlers. This thing looks good enough to be a toy!
The soap weighs 2.5 oz and is made from natural and vegan-friendly ingredients. The only missing detail is an interior filled with scavenged droid parts, but I’m sure they’re working on this.
So turn on your motivator unit and grab yourself a Sandcrawler soap from Geeksoap for $4 (USD).
Ever heard of Motrr before? Well, they happen to be the designers behind the Gorillapod range of innovative camera tripods, and this time around, they have announce the pre-order availability of the Galileo Bluetooth and Galileo 30-pin that will target the iPhone, and this window of opportunity is open from now until the end of this month. Galileo has been named after the well known character from the past, where it happens to be a revolutionary iOS-controlled robotic iPhone platform this time around that comes with infinite spherical rotation capability so that it will open up the doors of iPhone owners to a world of photo, pano, and video possibilities.
Jasper Eisenberg, Marketing Manager at Motrr, said, “We are thrilled to release Galileo, a device platform we hope will inspire creativity and allow for more immersive experiences with people from anywhere in the world. Motrr’s mission is to transform the way we communicate with each other and with the world around us. With an entirely new dimension of control, everything from video calling, time-lapse photography, cinematography, and spherical imaging get way more interesting.”
With the Galileo, your iPhone will work with the Sphere app, ensuring that you remain just one tap away from capturing amazing spherical panoramas. Not only that, you are able to set pan and tilt controls in a jiffy for Galileo in order for it to locally create dynamic time-lapse sequences. Using a second smartphone, tablet, or web browser, you will be able to control Galileo remotely so that it can function as your “eyes” at home using one-way video. Want to do more? Not a problem at all, as it also delivers an immersive 2-way video calling experience, where all you need to do is to swipe your finger on your device and Galileo will responds, as it orients itself in any direction, which basically means you are able to control what you see.
The Galileo 30-Pin will play nice with the iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4th generation., while the Galileo Bluetooth is compatible with the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, and iPod Touch 5th generation.

Even if the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s 33-year-old Very Large Array doesn’t sound familiar, it probably looks familiar: It was the backdrop to Jodie Foster’s work in Contact. Wonderfully, Foster serves as the narrator of this awesome mini-doc about the VLA, which was recently rebuilt from the inside out in a massive reconstruction project.

Skype brought a basic level of iOS 7 support to its iPad and iPhone communication apps last month, but the developer isn’t satisfied with that mere tune-up. It just released new versions of both apps that sport a flatter, iOS 7-friendly interface. The updates also improve accessibility, particularly …

CT, or computed tomography, scans are to x-rays what 3D movies are to classic 2D flicks. But instead of being just some gimmick to lure patrons into a theater, CT scans result in 3D models that let doctors study internal medical conditions in amazing detail. But why stop there? Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute have now built a monstrous CT scanner that can scan entire cars and even shipping containers.
