BoxRec writes “Scientists in England have developed a 3D chocolate printer that prints layers of chocolate instead of ink or plastic. ‘Now we have an opportunity to combine chocolate with digital technology, including the design, digital manufacturing and social networking. Chocolate has a lot of social purpose, so our intention is to develop a community and share the designs, ideas and experience about it,’ says lead scientist Dr Liang Hao.”

As a long-time BlackBerry enthusiast and proud Canadian, I want to see Research In Motion turn around the negative sentiment that is now stalking them in the media and gain back the sales momentum and brand popularity they have enjoyed in the past.

But should this challenge prove too difficult in the months ahead or simply take too long to execute in the face of an eroding market cap, what will become of RIM? I’ve pondered this question a lot in recent weeks from every conceivable angle, and it was sitting on a patio sipping my fourth pitcher of Sangria on Canada Day that I concluded Google will buy Research In Motion. It won’t be Microsoft – they’ve made their bet on Windows Phone and Nokia (and the Steve Ballmer at BlackBerry World thing was little more than a PR stunt). It won’t be Co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis buying back the company and going private again (though I’m sure they’d love to do that). It won’t be any other company seriously stepping in with a bid. It’ll be Google. Keep reading for my logical reasoning.

With the launch of Google Plus, there may be some confusion as to how the photos uploaded to the social network (Google+) integrate with Google’s online photo-sharing service (Picasa), especially in terms of storage limits. The answer provides some great news for Google Plus users – nearly everything you upload to Google Plus won’t count towards your storage limits on Picasa, with the only exception being videos longer than 15 minutes.

And there’s another nifty feature involving photo-tagging, too – your Google+ friends can now tag your Picasa photos.

Unlimited Storage on Picasa

According to a FAQ on Picasa’s support site, the photo-sharing service provides up to 1 GB of free storage for photos and videos to its users. But since Google+ actively encourages storing and sharing photos – its Android app even offers an “instant upload” option –

A revolutionary self-service bicycle repair kiosk was installed last week in Minneapolis, and includes a vending machine stocked with cycling basics: Patch kits, tubes, lights, and snacks. This automated vendor is hardly the first to make out-of-the-ordinary goods keypad convenient. Here, nine other odd vending machines.

Hacking is a noble pursuit — it's what tinkerers do to create cool new machines and innovate. But the media is obsessed with using the word “hacker” interchangeably with “criminal.” That's why IEEE Spectrum magazine has created this helpful chart (click to enlarge), in which they try to separate out the good hacks from the bad. See if you can guess which ones are good and which are bad . . . answers are on the interactive chart at IEEE, where you can check the boxes to show only good hacks, bad ones, or neutral. More

We’re still waiting on that globe-like PS9 (aren’t you?), but seeing as how wireless head-to-console gaming isn’t yet available or ethical, we’ll make do with PS4 rumors. Based on nothing more than a game of component-maker telephone, sources out of Taiwan are telling Digitimes to expect a brand new PlayStation 4 for launch sometime in early 2012. Reportedly on board for this latest iteration are baked-in motion controls

Toshiba just unveiled what it claims is the world’s first glasses-free 3D laptop, the Qosmio F750. It’s a heavy-set beast dedicated to gaming and movies, with a 15.6-inch Full HD lenticular screen that can display 2D and 3D simultaneously in separate windows. It also rocks an HD webcam that follows your movements and adjusts the 3D effect accordingly, so you can peek at the that lovely third dimension from almost any angle you like. Innovative stuff indeed, but we were underwhelmed when we caught a glimpse of Toshiba’s concept model back in January. So, has the technology improved since then? Check out our hands-on impressions and video after the break.
