Wanted: Surrogate for Neanderthal Baby I don't think you will find a Want Ad phrased as such in your local paper, but the call will be going out in principle. Scientists are getting close to cloning a Neanderthal from 'spare parts' lying about the lab and all they will need soon is an 'adventurous' woman to serve as the surrogate to the infant. Adventurous to say the least. "We have lots of Neanderthal parts around the lab. We are creating Neanderthal cells. Let's say someone has a healthy, normal Neanderthal baby. Well, then, everyone will want to have a Neanderthal kid. Were they superstrong or supersmart? Who knows? But there's one way to find out." Comments Read More ...
Blizzard's Jay Wilson Leaving the Diablo 3 Team In a full page post on the Diablo 3 website, former Diablo 3 Game Director Jay Wilson outlined his leaving the team and moving on to a new unnamed project.

Nasty Client Website Lets Businesses Review Customers In sort of a reverse engineering project of sites like Angie's List, a former landscaper has created a website to rate customers called NastyClient.com. The site deals with everything from the obvious non-paying deadbeats to customers who are just a pain to do work for. Sites such as Yelp or Angie's List give an open forum for consumers to rave or rant about their experiences, but platforms for business owners aren't as accessible. Comments Read More ...

Google Defines the Pirate Bay as a 'Malware Distributor' Life is tough as a pirate. Just ask the operators of the Pirate Bay. The namesake of the original website has been shut down, fined, run out of countries of operation, co-founders arrested and now Google has dealt them another harsh blow, labeling them a malware threat. Some days it just doesn't pay to be a pirate. Aarrr! Comments Read More ...
Mega Hits One Million Users After One Day In his usual flamboyant manner, Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom ushered in his long touted new venture Mega.

Mission accomplished. "We will protect the rights of everyone – today is the anniversary of something horrible, but now it is also the anniversary of something wonderful." Comments Read More ...
VIA Shows Off $79 Rock and $99 Paper ARM PCs If you think the rise of ARM-based mini-computing sounds like a fun project to take on, but just don't feel like the Raspberry Pi suits your needs, VIA might have the solution for you with its updated version of its ARM-based mini-computer. VIA has upgraded the specs from its original entry into the market last spring. Rock and Paper, as the two systems are called, will be available in March. The Rock and Paper offer a nice spec bump over the original APC, which shipped with Android 2.3, an ARM 11 processor, only 2GB RAM, and was only 720p capable in the graphics department.

Smart Floor Uses LED Lights for Changeable Boundary Lines A German company is changing the way we could utilize indoor sports spaces by developing a new clear floor covering. The system is called ASB Glassfloor and uses built-in LEDs to create a changeable pattern on the floor to accommodate different boundary lines for different sports. The programmable LEDs can also be used to display advertisements, which will probably catch the eye of prospective buyers. When combined with sensor technologies, this type of flooring could alter how sports are played and judged. Comments Read More ...
