One of the coolest products ever to hit Kickstarter was the 3Doodler pen. This is a pen that uses a meltable plastic material to allow users to draw three-dimensional artwork in the air. This particular Kickstarter project obliterated its fundraising goal on Kickstarter in only hours. Ultimately, it went on to raise over $2 million […]

I’m sure for most of you Windows 3.11 has been out of your life for quite some time, but just because the operating system was retired from the retail market years ago doesn’t mean it wasn’t still available. In fact OEM’s are still able to license Windows 3.11 in the embedded channel, but come November 1st, 2008 that will no longer be an option.
Amidst the disbelief Ars Technica is pondering whether they should start a petition to save the irreplaceable operating system:
I’m not sure I want to believe this. How can Microsoft possibly discontinue an old operating system that has been around for so long and is so well trusted? Maybe I’ll start a petition to save it! I don’t want to move to something more bloated and resource-hungry if I can stay with good old Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Why fix what isn’t broken? I don’t like the new, the old works just fine!
One of these days Microsoft will learn that we don’t want new operating systems, but until then we’ll have to continue our grieving as one operating system after another finds their way into their final resting spots. You can, however, always view this gallery of Windows 3.11 screenshots. It’s not the same as having the actual operating system right in front of you, but it will give you the warm fuzzy feeling in your heart. Pull your Windows 3.11 floppy disks close to you, and we’ll get through this together.

“A 1.5 kilogram clump of fatty tissue which is located in our head.” That’s how curator Marius Kwint describes the enigmatic subject of Brains: The Mind as Matter, a new exhibition at Manchester’s Museum of Science & Industry. The reality, of course, is infinitely more complex—and this not-for-the-squeamish show displays some of the more fascinating experiments, interventions, and artworks produced with our minds in mind.

Nintendo promised earlier this year they would roll out updates to its Wii U in the spring and summer to help improve the video game console in a number of important areas. The company released the Wii U’s spring update this past April, although many were wondering where the promised summer update was, considering we’ve entered the fall season in the northern hemisphere a few weeks ago. Nintendo might have been a tad late, but they have just rolled out their “summer” update for the Wii U. (more…)

Tablets are dime a dozen these days, especially when it comes to those that are powered by the Android operating system. There are so many different manufacturers these days, so much so that it can be quite confusing to know where one will begin at. Ematic has long been working on tablets that deliver plenty of value for money, and their latest model would be the Ematic EGP008. This 8” tablet will be part of their pro series, where it will run on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system alongside a dual-core 1.6GHz processor which is accompanied by a quad-core GPU and Google Play support. The Ematic EGP008 will arrive in a sleek, aluminum form factor, which lends an added air of respectability for those who are always on the move.
Connectivity features also include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which means it is a snap for one to surf the Internet as well as spend time on Google Play with a plethora of apps that one can download, both free and paid. This is a true blue Google-certified tablet which will include access to Gmail, the ability to browse the Web with Chrome, find directions with Google Maps and checking out videos on YouTube. Not only that, the presence of Google Now would let you obtain the right information at the right time simply by sending reminders at the correct time you need them.
It has an 8” display at 1024 × 768 resolution at 160ppi pixel density, while there is also an HDMI mirroring capability that allows you to connect the Ematic EGP008 to your TV in order to watch movies on the big screen. There is also a front-facing camera which makes it ideal to carry out video conversations, while the camera at the back has been specially designed in order to capture life’s fun moments. Best of all is, the Ematic EGP008 retails for a mere $129.99.

WASHINGTON — About 18,000 people – including members of Congress, all their aides, presidential appointees and even the president and vice president – would lose the employer-provided health insurance under a condition that Republicans proposed for averting a government shutdown.
The Democratic-controlled Senate rejected the measure Monday night, an hour after the House passed it.
