Scientists at the University of Wollongong (that's a real place) in Australia have developed a device that replaces traditional surgery with something more akin to an art project. The BioPen is a handheld 3D printer that can actually print bone directly onto patients during surgery. Soon, surgeons will simply be able to doodle their patients back to health.
"The structure is an experiment in 3D printing using locally harvested salt from the San Francisco Bay to produce a large-scale, lightweight, additive manufactured structures," said Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello of additive manufacturing startup Emerging Objects..

New York Daily News 'Saving Mr. Banks': Movie review New York Daily News Not that P.L. Travers (an exquisite Emma Thompson), the author of the “Poppins” books, ever wanted her work to be a movie at all.
A charming comedy-drama about the creation of the 1964 classic “Mary Poppins,” this new release shows how creativity and pain can be a recipe for magic. Fairy tales, we know, are made of dark stuff under the spoonfuls of sugar.

The company’s pioneering technology makes use of titanium powder that has been processed from sand. That feat alone, in and of itself, is really impressive, and, if it works in the long-run, promises to make titanium much more affordable.
These Incredible Animated GIFs Are More Than 150 Years Old Wired More than 150 years before Buzzfeed uploaded its first cat GIF, people were already captivated by looping animations.
More than 150 years before Buzzfeed uploaded its first cat GIF, people were already captivated by looping animations. In those days, of course, there was no photoshop or screen grabbing, no Tumblrs and Twitter to help craft and share the perfect GIF. Rather, artists relied on optical tools—things like zoetropes, phenakistoscopes, thaumatropes and other gadgets with very strange names to bring their illustrations to life.

Apple has received a patent for curved touchscreens and displays, according toAppleInsider, which describes a system for making curved touch sensitive glass. The method patented by Apple is designed to create a curved screen surface that remains touch sensitive without deforming or distorting the image the display would produce, and would be able to be used in displays, touch-sensitive mice (like the current Magic Mouse) touch pads and other devices.
Apple is working on its own virtual reality goggles BGR Apple on Tuesday was awarded a patent for a head-mounted display that doesn't really resemble Google's smart Glass project whether we're talking about design or features.
Discovered by Patently Apple, the new patent describes an elaborated goggle system that may resemble ski of motorcycle goggles that come with specific entertainment features in mind, allowing the user to enjoy an immersive video watching or gaming experience in those instances where projecting a movie or a game on a bigger display isn’t an option. Instead, the device would project a virtual large screen in front of the user’s eyes, which would be available only to the person wearing the goggles. Oculus VR’s Oculus Rift is a popular gaming-related project that aims to bring virtual reality gaming action to players through a similar goggles system. Valve is also working on its own virtual reality solution for its Steam Machines.

Joe Letteri, Oscar-winning co-creator of Gollum on screen, looks at the evolution of computer animation as the next instalment of The Hobbit trilogy reaches cinemas.
"With Gollum, we used the then relatively new technique of performance capture — effectively, an extension of rotoscoping. But instead of looking at an actor from a single point of view and matching the form of the motion, we looked at his performance using dozens of cameras simultaneously and matched the motion's underlying dynamics."

The early Pixar films, like Toy Story, still feel like a miracle. And a new book excerpt shows how much of that early creativity came from a handful of guys, sitting around a pile of toys. They wanted something as different from a Disney animated movie as possible, and they had one rule: "No complacency."
Movies are not real life. If they were, then who the hell would go see a movie? Nonetheless, movies are fond of proclaiming that they were “based on a true story” or even more vaguely “inspired by true events.” Which is all well and good, after all it’s the job of advertising to tell you anything that might get you to pay money to go see explosions, zombies, robots, or pirates.
Depression is something that effects millions of people across the globe however it’s not often talked about. There is a stigma around mental illness’s that needs to be tackled.
