R. Martin says the network is considering a prequel series, possibly based on his Dunk and Egg short stories, which are set 90 years earlier. Read more…

Google’s latest Chrome experiment is a marble maze game that binds your smartphone to your PC through those shareable tabs. Once you’ve opened the same tab on both platforms, you’ll be put in control of a metallic Nexus Q lookalike, steered by the accelerometers baked into your smartphone — as well as power and jump buttons. Better still, there’s (arguably) an infinite number of levels to tackle, with the experiment transforming your favorite sites into a multi-stage mazes. You’ll need a phone that’s running at least iOS 5.0 or Android 4.0 to make the connection. Take it for a cautious spin at the link below.

Illinois-based Superior Joining Technologies is “a Woman-Owned Business,” as they proudly point out; for several years they’ve also been the owners of an incredibly bad-ass machine called the Trulaser Cell 7040 , a 5000-watt beast manufactured by Germany’s Trumpf. The Trulaser 7000 series are multi-axis laser cutting and laser welding machines that run off of CAD file input. What can these machines do with metal? A better question is what can’t they do. Observe their sheer majesty: By the bye, while I rate this video highly for the machine’s kick-assery, I still think the cat guy would’ve made this video awesome. (more…)

This video is a bit gruesome, but it is demonstrating a remarkable substance that can stop bleeding almost instantaneously. Jack Millner of Humans Invent interviewed NYU student Joe Landolina, the creator of Veti-Gel. “In all of our tests we found we were able to immediately stop bleeding,” says Landolina. “Your skin has this thing called the extracellular matrix,” he explains. “It’s kind of a mesh of molecules and sugars and protein that holds your cells in place.” Landolina synthesises his own extracellular matrix (ECM) using plant polymers, which can form a liquid when broken up into pieces. He says, “So it goes into the wound and the pieces of the synthetic ECM in the gel will recognise the pieces of the real ECM in the wound and they’ll link together. It will re-assemble into something that looks like, feels like and acts like skin.” The gel that stops bleeding instantly

Still haven’t found the sound you’re looking for in Apple’s iOS GarageBand offering? The newly released version 1.4 broadens the music app’s horizons, thanks to Audiobus compatibility, letting it work alongside titles like Animoog, ThumbJam, Samplr and pretty much all of Korg’s iPhone offerings. Sounds created on those apps can now record directly into GarageBand — assuming, of course you’re using it on an iPhone 4S, 5th-gen iPod touch, iPad 2 or later. You can pick up the latest version of the app in the source link below. Filed under: Cellphones , Tablets , Mobile , Apple Comments Source: iTunes

Just a day after Apple released iOS 6.1.3 , a new lock screen bug has been discovered that could give an attacker access to private information. The vulnerability is different from the passcode bug(s) addressed by Tuesday’s iOS update, but the end result is similar: access to iPhone’s contact list and photos. The new lock screen bug was first documented by YouTube user videosdebarraquito , who posted a video demoing the procedure. The basic gist, seen in the video below, is to eject the iPhone’s SIM card while using the built-in voice controls to make a phone call. Bypassing the iPhone passcode lock on iOS 6.1.3. There are a couple important things to keep in mind, though. For one, it seems like this bug applies to most modern iPhones, though apparently the procedure isn’t as easy as it looks. The YouTube video above shows the hack being executed on an iPhone 4, and iphoneincanada was able to replicate it on an iPhone 4. TheNextWeb was able to replicate it on an iPhone 4S but not an iPhone 5. But the iPhone 5 didn’t get away scot free, as German language site iPhoneblog.de appears to have been able to replicate the bug on that version of the phone. We have not yet seen a confirmed case of the bug existing on the iPhone 3GS, though it’s probably safe to assume that it does. Read 1 remaining paragraphs | Comments
