Apparently Steve Jobs said Apple won’t be getting USB 3.0 any time soon. Calm down, calm down, there is no need to worry. You and I both know that when USB 3.0 eventually does come to the Mac…it will still be “an industry first,” “magical” and “amazing!”
We don’t see USB 3 taking off at this time. No support from Intel, for example. via
10 years ago today, Expedition 1 Commander Bill Shepherd and Flight Engineers Sergei Krikalev and Yuri Gidzenko climbed aboard the International Space Station, marking the first of 3652 days of continuous occupation so far. I think that on that day a decade ago, we truly became a space-faring species.
Since that day, 200 men and women from more than a dozen nations have stayed aboard the station, living there, playing there, working there, and yes, even doing some science there.
Think hybrid cars are futuristic? How about a hybrid car that has literally been printed out? Stratasys and Kor Ecologic recently teamed to develop Urbee, the first car ever to have its entire body 3-D printed with additive manufacturing processes (by printing layers of material on top of each other until a finished product appears).
3-D printing has been used for manufacturing before. Boeing, for example, prints some airplane parts using the process. And a company called Bespoke Innovations is using 3-D printing to manufacture prosthetic limb casings. But Urbee is entirely 3-D printed–all exterior components were produced with Dimension 3D Printers and Fortus 3D Production Systems by Stratsys.
A swimmer saved a young woman who was attacked by a shark, off the coast of western Australia, by grabbing it by the tail, rescuers have said. The shark, which had bitten 19-year-old Elyse Frankcom, let go of her, they added. The anonymous swimmer then brought Ms Frankcom to the surface and got her on board a boat.
