It's not quite telepathy, but it's the closest anyone has ever come to getting a mammal to read another mammal's mind.
A research team led by neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University has wired together the brains of two rats, allowing them transmit information between each other and cooperate.
The results, detailed in the journal Scientific Reports, could help improve the design of neural-controlled prosthetic devices. And perhaps more than that, they also show that one day we could network brains as well as computers, or communicate by translating neural activity in the brain into electronic signals.
The cover photo on your Facebook timeline is your biggest branding opportunity and the most important piece of imagery for communicating your brand to your followers.
Unfortunately, there are so many business pages out there who just upload regular photos for their cover picture, which are not designed for that space and dimensions. What you end up with is the top and bottom part of the image cut off and it just looks wrong. This is one of the most basic things that you really should get right for your brand.

The user-uploaded videos you find at Vimeo are typically a hair more polished than your average YouTube clip, but that doesn't mean the company is averse to embracing the filters trend. In fact, that's exactly what it's doing today with the rollout of Looks, a new addition to the site's Enhancer toolset that offers over 500 visual effects users can add to their projects. Everything is done directly within the web browser, and you're able to preview each effect in realtime before deciding if it's the right match. With the overwhelming number of options, Vimeo has helpfully categorized Looks by genre and mood to help filmmakers quickly excise effects that aren't likely to fit. Perhaps most intriguing, the video site can also choose a Look automatically "based on technical analysis of the user's video and social data." Vimeo plans to roll out Looks, made possible through a partnership with Vivoom, to registered users within the next 90 days.
The company formerly known as RIM is currently rolling out two devices running the new BlackBerry 10 OS, and apparently that's not all it's got in store for 2013. Know Your Mobile India reportedly heard from the Head of Developer Relations for Asia Pacific at BlackBerry, during the recent Z10 launch in India, that a "BB10 tablet is definitely coming later this year." We already knew that BB10 was to be shoehorned onto the PlayBook, and the same exec confirmed that it's still in the works, so your old slate won't be left with outdated software when this new hardware arrives. We've reached out to BlackBerry for confirmation or comment, and will update you when we hear back.
Facebook has officially bought Microsoft's Atlas advertising platform. In a statement, the company said Atlas would give advertisers a better idea of how their campaigns were doing and would "help advertisers compare their Facebook campaigns to the rest of their ad spending across the web on desktop and mobile." Atlas, Facebook says, is already in use by many advertisers on the site, but the company is planning to build out both its measurement systems and its user interface, making it easier to use and offering a more complete picture of campaigns. As Facebook works to monetize its system, this will become particularly important — despite fast growth, it's been hard to find good metrics on how well its ads actually work.
Though Facebook doesn't mention it, owning an ad serving platform could also let it provide ads on sites outside its own, making it a competitor to Google and its AdSense platform. The Facebook and Microsoft deal was previously rumored in December, and we're still not sure how much Facebook paid for the service. AdAge suggested previously that it was expected to sell for less than $100 million; Microsoft originally acquired aQuantive, which provided the technology, for around $6 billion.
China's economy is still on fire, with expected GDP growth of 8 percent in the first quarter of 2013. So it's no surprise that e-commerce is also soaring. According to compiled industry research from Alibaba Group, 2013 will mark the first time Chinese online spending exceeds that of the U.S.
Alibaba expects e-commerce in China to reach $265 billion this year, up from roughly $194 billion in 2012. The U.S., which generated $209 billion in e-commerce sales last year, will add a mere $21 billion this year, according to the projection.
Of course, China's 242 million online shoppers (out of an overall population of more than 1.34 billion) outnumber their U.S. counterparts by a cool 75 million. They buy lots of clothing and accessories, but relatively little in the way of household goods, digital media and electronics. Surveys show that China's online shoppers like the fact that they can save money on the Web, but still worry about product quality. product quality).
If you are a web designer who finds himself in an inspiration crisis then you have to free up some time to check out what other designers have done recently. You can subscribe on Dribble or DeviantArt to various web designers who are always adapting their methods and techniques to the current trends and you’ll have a fresh dose of inspiration when you need it the most.
Another way of keeping yourself inspired is checking out articles like this one, for example, where new and interesting web designs with cool layouts are featured. You should try to ignore articles with designs that have been made a year ago or more, because that would be extremely unnecessary and you will only waste time seeing the same concepts that you already know and that you are applying to your designs.
Mobile is taking over the scene. Smartphones and tablets are bringing along this revolution, and our lives are becoming more intertwined with technology as a result. The term “mobile payment” actually has a number of different meanings. To some, NFC (near field communications) comes to mind. NFC is a relatively new payment option that allows users to wave either a card or mobile device in front of a sensor that will automatically process a payment for you. A lack of NFC sensors in the market has ultimately hindered the development of this payment method, but it could take off at any time.

I’m sure by now, most of us have heard of the potential Google Glass has. In the video you see a few people going through everyday routines while others put it on for more extreme stuff like skydiving.
On their head, is the wearable gadget that gives you the first-person’s view of the experience, made possible by you guessed it, Google Glass.
While Google Glass is still currently a developer’s toy, who has the time to wait until it becomes an item for the masses? So we did a little digging, got our fingers dirty and found 10 things you can expect from this high-tech eyewear.
We’ll talk about its hardware, what it’s capable of doing and how it’ll do it. Be prepared for the future as you might see many people wearing the Google Glass when it’s released.
Andrew Mason says Groupon is “better positioned than any other company in the world to plug local commerce into the Web,” but you wouldn’t know it from the daily deals site’s latest earnings: A fourth-quarter GAAP loss of 12 cents per share — 10 cents more than Wall Street was looking for.
As Groupon’s shares tanked in after-hours trading, Mason fielded questions from analysts on the company’s earnings call, but didn’t do much to explain how the company is going to scale its core online-coupon business. Instead, he did all that he could to paint a happy face on today’s sad results, tossing out sound bites that glossed over the issues troubling the company...
Cars are big and heavy, and that means they use a lot of energy while traveling. It’s easy to understand why these behemoths have traditionally been so weighty, though: It takes countless parts to make a modern car, and it’s mostly made out of steel for structural stability. That’s all changing, however, now that large-scale 3D-printing is becoming a reality. These new cars can use less parts and lighter materials to offer the same functionality and safety with less complexity and energy required. With the Urbee 2, Kor Ecologic is making a small two-passenger vehicle with a 3D-printed exterior. It’s highly efficient, light, and extremely safe in spite of being made of plastic.
In an article on Wired, the Urbee 2′s lead designer Jim Kor talks in-depth about the process being used to create this lightweight aerodynamic marvel. Using the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method, thin layers of plastic are sprayed one after the other for about 2,500 hours until an entire car exterior is created. Thanks to the customizability afforded by this production method, different thicknesses and patterns can be used to reinforce the structure. This leaves us with a product as strong as traditional cars, but at a fraction of the weight.
Not every designer gets the chance to work on a high-profile redesign. In fact, the vast majority will never have that chance. At least not officially.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have some amazing ideas about how sites like Facebook, Twitter, CNN, and other big-name sites should look.
That’s why a lot of designers take on conceptual redesigns of high-profile sites as personal projects. Designers aren’t constrained by a client spec when working on solo projects like this, meaning they’re free to innovate and take risks.
Here I’ve rounded up more than two dozen awesome redesign concepts for sites like Amazon, IMDb, Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, and more, to inspire you to tackle your own concept designs.
Designed by architects Björn and Marianne Aaro , 7-room, 340 square meter apartment in Stockholm takes up the last two floors of a lovely building in the center of the city with stunning views of the city scenery.
The floor is linked by the staircase that goes all the way up to the old attic. The centrally located entrance may take its place, space-efficiently cloakroom with associated toilet next door. The large kitchen is custom designed with complete appliance, hidden storage space, and furniture such as a sofa with coarse linen cloth and dining table in marble – custom-made couture for the home.
Twitter is a is a treasure trove of knowledge with jewels spilling out at the seams. Even universities and colleges are getting in on the act.
The only problem is, mixed amid the genuine pearls are plenty of fakes. On top of that, one person’s rock is another’s diamond. What’s useful to me may be useless for you.
As a freelancer, you can use Twitter to discover the needs of potential clients, spark up new ideas for a dusty old project, see what others are saying about you and your work, and train yourself in new skills. (You can also use it to find clients and job opportunities. I explain how here).
But unless you know where to find what’s relevant to you, Twitter can seem like a big waste of time.
In this article, I show you how to use Twitter as a powerful research tool to give you the edge you need as a freelancer.
Word Animals are unique typographical designs best described as images of animals created using the letters in their name. 'Crocodile' will feature in the inaugural logopond book. The identity is comprised of a hand written mark and a broad colour palette that matches the visual style of the “word animals” designs.

Rob Gonsalves is an artist from Toronto, Canada. His art works are mixing of creativity and optical illusion. He mixes elements to create amazing transitions from bridges to clouds to caravels. Rob Gonsales (born in 1959 in Toronto, Canada) is a Canadian painter of magic realism with a unique perspective and style. He produces original works, limited edition prints and illustrations for his own books. During his childhood, Gonsalves developed an interest in drawing from imagination using various media. By the age of twelve, his awareness of architecture grew as he learned perspective techniques and he began to create his first paintings and renderings of imagined buildings. After an introduction to artists Dalí and Tanguy, Gonsalves began his first surrealist paintings. The "Magic Realism" approach of Magritte along with the precise perspective illusions of Escher came to be influences in his future work.
Until the early 20th century, infrared photography was not possible because silver halide emulsions are not sensitive to longer wavelengths than that of blue light (and to a lesser extent, green light) without the addition of a dye to act as a color sensitizer. Wood, who discovered the unusual effects that now bear his name. The RPS co-ordinated events to celebrate the centenary of this event in 2010. The first infrared photographs (as distinct from spectrographs) to be published appeared in the February 1910 edition of The Century Magazine and in the October 1910 edition of the Royal Photographic Society Journal to illustrate papers by Robert W. Wood's photographs were taken on experimental film that required very long exposures; thus, most of his work focused on landscapes. A further set of infrared landscapes taken by Wood in Italy in 1911 used plates provided for him by CEK Mees at Wratten & Wainwright. Mees also took a few infrared photographs in Portugal in 1910, which are now in the Kodak archives. Infrared-sensitive photographic plates were developed in the United States during World War I for spectroscopic analysis, and infrared sensitizing dyes were investigated for improved haze penetration in aerial photography. After 1930, new emulsions from Kodak and other manufacturers became useful to infrared astronomy.

Leap Motion, the flash drive-sized controller that lets you manipulate your computer's interface with a multitude of precise hand gestures, will begin shipping to customers who pre-ordered the device on May 13. In a partnership with Best Buy, the Leap Motion controller will also hit physical store shelves in the U.S. starting May 19.
Since the company's founding last year, Leap Motion has advertised its product as a life-changing technological jump toward intuitive 3D software, while drawing in developers who will shortly offer a impressive suite of apps with functionality ranging from gaming and art to web browsing and 3D modeling. All these apps will be available in Leap Motion's new app store, Airspace, says Leap Motion VP of Product Marketing Mike Zagorsek.
Starting with the sci-fi-influenced idea that computing of the future will be done seamlessly with hand gestures alone (think Minority Report), CEO Mike Buckwald and CTO David Holz co-founded Leap Motion with the aim of delivering a truly futuristic product. They predict that this kind of interface could change the way we interact with technology forever, from kitchen screens at McDonald's to electronic music-creation tools for DJs, as ReadWrite editor in chief Dan Lyons wrote last December.
The brand packaging design is taking a very important half among the general selling campaign. But simplicity just in case, if you’re not invested with efforts throughout this regard, then you’re moving the inaccurate suggests that. Most of the marketers presently area unit concentrating on turning their label into a full, thus, smart disapproval is imperative throughout this regard. Most members opt for the quality of the product with its distinctive packaging. As an associate ongoing a neighborhood of our inspiration series, today we have a tendency to tend to gift wonderful samples of beautiful, partaking and communicative packaging vogue. We have a tendency to collect some stunning brand packaging design inspiration for our readers, hopefully you all like these designs and they also assist in your projects.
You probably assume hackers are using all sorts of devious viruses, obscure scripts, "exploits" (whatever that means, right?) and other complex means to break into accounts. But often the means of entry are stupid simple. Facebook has a huge one—and doesn't care about fixing it.
There's a basic premise here that isn't a Facebook problem, but really an internet problem: it's super easy to reset someone's password. The web is an ornate, lumbering thing built on tiny little stilt legs, its foundation unfit for what came after it. It's complex stuff standing on simpler stuff. New on old. And often the old can't cut it: just ask Giz alum Mat Honan, whose online life was savaged because of the stupid-simple processes standing between assholes and us online. You don't need to be a hacker—you can just talk your way in...
Things are changing in the tech world and the migration of users from PC to tablets or phones adds modifications to the way web sites are designed because web sites have to be optimized for these new platforms.
In the old days, which are not that old, designers would complain about having to make a website compatible with desktop browsers, which is child’s play comparing to the times we are living now. Nowadays, almost each client you are getting asks for a mobile version of his site and that’s not a simple task either. Consider that you need to have a version for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Kindle and for who knows what other product will be launched in the following years.
To handle all these products and how websites are viewed on them, responsive web design has been created, a concept that means the design and development should respond to the user’s environment and behavior based on screen size, platform and orientation.
And if you come to think about it, this is a magnificent idea. We shouldn’t build a design just for a certain group. Instead, we should make it for everybody and have it adapt to the needs and platform of each individual.
New tumblr alert: Before VFX. It's a revealing collection of pictures that show what movies look like before any sort of visual effects are added. Which basically means it makes every movie, even Oscar-worthy movies, look completely ridiculous. The magic of the movies!
The Before VFX picture collection is growing and range from Life of Pi and Lincoln to The Avengers and Prometheus to The Muppets and John Carter. I want to see every movie before effects are added so I can laugh when I see actors prance around in half-assed costumes against a green screen. I don't think seeing beautiful people act ridiculous in a fake room will ever get old.
What’s next for robots? They’re becoming smarter, more personalized, more adaptive. But at the same time they’re becoming more complex and capable, they’re also becoming more basic. One MIT scientist, for instance, is trying to program physical materials to assemble themselves.
The TED Conference in Long Beach, Calif., today presented three very different approaches to robotics: A safe industrial robot called Baxter, a cheap personal robot called Romo, and a research initiative into programmable materials such as self-folding proteins.
This project is born as a response to a concern about how to pull together the essence of the capitularis monumentalis uppercase alphabet with a subtle brush spirit. The aim was to find each sign morphology to combine carving and stroke in a particular way; clever and subtle.In the same way, structures of more traditional ligatures were capitalized, bringing them to a more contemporary style. The development of lowercase letters was taken as part of the challenge as well. Read more for this Typeface Design Project.
You should be paying attention to stencil.
First, I recommend you throw away the image of ugly fonts sprayed onto industrial shipping crates and used for all sorts of army themed media. The stencil style is making a return, coming to its own style, and the results are fantastic.
Stencils are typefaces with slits in their strokes that make them appear as though they’ve been cut. There’s been a sort of surge in available stencil fonts within the past several years that show an interest in the style, beyond the faux-military aesthetic. And I’ll admit that I’ve been stuck in this rut of thinking as well. But after searching around, I’ve learned a lot of things about stencils and their strengths, and I think they’re valuable and deserve your wonderful attention. Let’s go through some notable ones!
This time we are presenting a unique and interesting compilation for your inspiration, and this is about some of the incredible camouflaged animals. Camouflaging for animals is a way to protect themselves against any danger that they sense within their habitats. Many animals make use of camouflaging whenever they sense or feel any danger and in this way they can enhance their chances of survival. This is one of the most stunning characteristics of nature that enables different creatures to survive within their habitats.
Alberto Seveso, a talented designer and illustrator from Italy, has been experimenting with a technique that includes documenting the mixture between water and ink (occasionally varnish) and incorporating them into his design work. The results are outstanding and entirely unique, to create the same two shapes would be impossible which quite rightly adds to the elegancy and beauty of each piece. Alberto is known for his more elaborate photo-manipulations and imagery, but this collection is what caught my eye.
Some people say that a panel apartment has no chance to change…but Viktor Csap would beg to differ. Viktor is an architect born and raised in Budapest, Hungary. His specific focus on individual projects allows his creativity to thrive. His recent project is meant to show the untapped possibility of panel apartments. The following actions were carried out:
During the design progress the main program of the flat had been changed.
The panel housing was made in concrete house factory.
All the fixed and mobile furniture was designed by Viktor Csap.
The construction and the furniture production was managed by Viktor Csap.
Graphic design and photo editing are increasing in popularity, in part because of the tools and apps that are readily available. It seems like just about every other person has a semi-professional camera hung around their neck with which they take pictures throughout the day, but even if you are not one of these people you probably take photos with your smartphone. With the photography and photo editing apps that are available you don’t need expensive equipment.
We took the liberty of cooking up a list of color palettes applications and photo editors available to Android users from the Google Play Store. With the applications are provided their original descriptions for your convenience. Check out this list of fifteen photo-editing tools for your mobile.
Logos can be incredibly difficult to design. Good logos show off a personality and capture the style of the brand well, but great logos go the extra mile by being memorable and interesting. There’s a huge range of logos out there, and historically businesses have chosen to go for professional, stern designs that many would describe as functional, yet bland. The rise of online companies have changed that, however, with more online brands opting for creative and slightly more unusual logos which help them to stand out against the competition.
We’ve collected a showcase of beautifully designed, creative logo designs to help give you some logo design inspiration. We hope you enjoy the collection and find elements that you can use for your next design project.
While the fate of BlackBerry remains at the forefront of debates amongst gadget circles, the cellphone company is trying new things, doing what it can to remain in the ‘black,’ so to speak. On Tuesday, Bloomberg reports, BlackBerry is working on a wireless money-transferring service through their BlackBerry messenger application.
The ‘Money Messenger’ service is beginning a pilot project with Indonesian bank, PT Bank Permata (BNLI,) currently part-owned by Standard Chestered PLC (STAN.) BB is the leading smartphone brand in Indonesia, making it a good place to test out the service.
A day after Samsung and Visa penned a deal to begin working on wireless payment system payWave, the Canadian smartphone company hopes to quickly roll their service out to their 60 million worldwide BBM customers. With an estimate of 79 million BB users, the mobile money exchange program will hope to influence the one-third or so customers who don’t use BBM service to make the switch.
Clearly, we can see the future of monetary exchange probably lies in the abilities of our smartphones. Makes sense, right? Let’s see how it plays out.

Apple stock fell another 2% yesterday to close at $442. It's down again this morning.
The stock is now closing in on its lowest closing price since it peaked just above $700 in September.
Apple is now down almost 40% from its peak.
Apple's market value has now lost about $250 billion. Thanks to Apple's massive size, that's more money than investors in Hewlett-Packard and Research In Motion have ever lost in those two stocks combined.
Of course, Apple has only fallen to a level that it first breached in January last year. So long-term Apple investors are still in the money. At least for now.
(For the first time in forever, though, anyone who has bought Apple in the past year and held it has lost money on it).
What's going on with Apple's stock? How low could it go?
On the first question, there are several things going on with Apple's stock.
Developers have had early access to Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 for a few months now, but Microsoft is making the final release available to consumers and businesses today. Available in 95 languages, Windows 7 users will be auto upgraded to IE10 in the coming weeks, with the initial push targeted at IE10 Release Preview users.
Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 includes improved JavaScript performance, and a focus on battery life improvements for mobile PCs. Although Internet Explorer 10 has been available on Windows 8 since October 26th, Microsoft opted for a delayed Windows 7 schedule to ensure the release was fully ready, a decision that drew some criticism from users waiting on an updated browser.
Windows 7 users will now get integrated spell checking and auto-correct within IE10, as well as improved support for web standards like the latest CSS3 improvements. The user interface in IE10 for Windows 7 is largely the same as IE9, so users won't get the fullscreen experience that's available in Windows 8. Nevertheless, Internet Explorer 10 is now available to download for Windows 7.

Sony has had a busy morning, with the release of five new cameras including three Cyber-shot point-and-shoots, a new mirrorless in the NEX-3N and a new 20.1 megapixel DSLR in the SLT-A58, the last of which is priced incredibly competitively at just under $600.
Sony’s camera offerings all appear to be aimed at consumers, but if you’re like me, you do like to have a Canon Rebel level camera at your side as a third camera or for video. What Sony is doing with the DSLR for under $600 (and that’s with a kit lens) appears to be really well priced, and likely is a move to try and leverage some market share. Really, all the new cameras here are extremely well priced. I’m curious to see what the market acceptance of this consumer line will be.
“I don’t think the companies we will have in 10 years will be structured in a way that will even allow your eye to draw analogies with the companies we have today,” Philip Rosedale, founder of SecondLife and Coffee and Power, recently said in an interview with Peter Diamandis.
So what exactly does he think this new employment landscape will look like? In the lengthy post, Rosedale outlined a seven key features, but here are the highlights:
