Filed under: General, Technology, Life

This is awesome….I am sure that back in the day this commercial didn’t seem cheesy at all but now that technology is so far along it just looks ancient.

Ultimate gaming experience

Filed under: Technology

This system could be used in more ways than just gaming. It is basically a Star Trek Holodeck which is just another example of Star Trek tech becoming reality. Cell phones are communicators, MRIs and CAT Scans are better versions of the beds in sick bay. I am waiting until someone invents the Transporter, of course I will wait until version 2.0 comes out before I give it a shot :)

Filed under: Technology, Life

I hope they figure out a way to mutate the genes responsible for aging so I can live longer than normal. It would be cool for the average lifespan to reach 150 or 200.

Researchers discover gene that blocks HIV

Filed under: Technology, Life

This is potentially exciting news and if it works as expected then it could mean a cure for the plague of our time, HIV. The only thing I worry about is what will take its place and how much more deadly the next disease will be.
