Jay Leno Scans and Prints Replacement Car Parts

It's become pretty well-understood that Sony is a sinking ship that requires quite a few fixes before it can ever be saved, but if its latest annual loss is any indication of what's to come, Sony isn't coming up for air anytime soon.....only on Sony Reports Record .7 Billion USD Annual Loss

Jay Leno has an incredibly large car collection. For some of the older vehicles in his garage, you can’t just go down to a job shop and pick up a spare replacement part. In these instances you’ll have to take it to a machinist to reproduce a new part. This can become cost-prohibitive through the trial and error nature of reverse engineering a part. In order to cut down on the development time and ensure the final part being machined will match the vehicle, Jay and his crew use a NextEngine 3D scanner and Dimension 3D printer to produce functional prototypes they can test fit on the vehicle.

If you had a one-off Ferrari engine, you could scan each part and then re-create the entire motor. Right now, we’re scanning a Duesenberg body. It’s a classic example of high tech melding with old tech. There are cars sitting in garages around the country, and they haven’t moved in years for lack of some unobtainable part. Now they can hit the road once more, thanks to this technology.

Federal Patents Judge Thinks Software Patents Are Good

Federal Patents Judge Thinks Software Patents Are Good

New submitter Drishmung writes “Retired Judge Paul Michel, who served on the Federal Circuit 1988-2010 â€" the court that opened the floodgates for software patents with a series of permissive decisions during the 1990s â€" thinks software patents are good. Yes, the patent system is flawed, but that means it should be fixed. Ars Technica have a thoughtful interview with him. Ars’ take: ‘If you care most about promoting innovation, offering carve-outs from the patent system to certain industries and technologies looks like a pragmatic solution to a serious problem. If you’re emotionally invested in the success of patent law as such, then allowing certain industries to opt out looks like an admission of failure and a horrible hack.’”

ipad???????????????????????

hi my birthday's coming up and i want an ipad but i don't know if it's a good buy. so what's your review on the ipad and should i get it for my birthday? or should i just get a netbook or psp? i need your opinion and if a ipad is really a good buy thx

Answer by David
First, let's be clear that iPad is NOT a computer replacement! Always have a computer BEFORE you get an iPad! Next, let's take a look at what the iPad is generally for: -Surfing the Web -Managing email -Sharing and organizing photos, music and video -Storing contact information, calendar appointments, and notes -Downloading Apps and playing games Is one or more of those items something you will normally be doing? Is iPad going to assist you in doing those thing(s)? Don't buy it just to have it, even though that's what many Apple fans tend to do. :) Then you can decide.

Answer by Jose
Yea i got one a couple days ago.... Its really cool better then a netbook and pps theres also the new ipod touch 4g from apple heres the link: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/

Answer by Nick C
all kind of depends if you want to play games and watch movies ten get the psp. if you want a computer that is like any other then get the netbook.if you want something that can assist you by checking e-mail playing, games, surfing the web then get the ipad. hopes this helps.

Answer by =]
Okie so just to let u kno u need a computer or laptop if you want to get the iPad because u need it to sync your music and apps and photos ect. Pros-it's portable, fun, easy, light weight, sort of like a laptop Cons- it doesn't have flash player and I think that's it for my cons You can listen to music, go on the Internet, play games, look at photos, go on yahoo answers cause I'm answer you question on my iPad right now so yea

Answer by turtle
An iPad can do everything a net book or PSP can do but play flash content, so I would go with the iPad, but what do I know I have an iPad and ever since I got it I never even touched my PSP or net book. Ex. iPad can print (active print ), use it as a notebook in school (ever note), games, and much much more

The Circuit: Universal EMI, location-based services, cybersecurity

The Circuit: Universal EMI, location-based services, cybersecurity

Antitrust committee to examine Universal/EMI: Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wisc.) plans to hold a hearing to examine the proposed merger between Universal Music Group and EMI, according to his office.

Kohl has not yet set a date for the hearing. Groups such as Public Knowledge have criticized the deal, saying that it has the “potential to thwart innovation in digital music.”

Universal has disputed those claims, saying that it has “every business reason” to continue offering its music through digital platforms.

Location features: A study released Friday by the Pew Center for Internet and American Life has found that 75 percent of all smartphone users use location-based services and that 18 percent use check-in apps that tell others where they are.

According to the study, the proportion of U.S. adults who get location-based information from their phones has almost doubled over the past year, to 41 percent from 23 percent.

Cybersecurity: The Pentagon is expanding and making permanent its trial program to have defense contractors share information about data theft with Internet service providers, The Washington Post reported.

The Pentagon is also enlarging a four-year-old cybersecurity program in which the Defense Department and contractors share threat data directly with each other. That program has 36 participants and could grow to about 1,000, said Pentagon deputy chief information officer Richard Hale.

California deliberates password law: The California state assembly has passed a bill that would prevent companies from asking current or prospective employees for the passwords to their private social networking accounts.

The bill now goes to the California Senate, according to a report from Wired.

Maryland recently became the first state in the country to pass a law prohibiting the practice; Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Reps. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) have introduced similar legislation at the national level.

Facebook updates data use policy: Facebook has proposed changes to its data use policy. The changes were made, in part, in response to an audit from the Irish Data Protection Commissioner’s Office, wrote Facebook’s chief privacy officer Erin Egan. Other changes include referencing Facebook’s Timeline format, which has launched since the network last updated its policy.

Egan said she will be hosting a video Q&A on the changes on Monday, May 9.

Musicians Realizing They Don’t Need Major Labels Anymore

Musicians Realizing They Don’t Need Major Labels Anymore

from the hello,-kickstarter dept

Music reality TV has become a key feeding ground for the major labels lately. Shows like American Idol, the Voice, X Factor and the like seem to be where the labels have been picking up some of their bigger name stars lately — allowing the shows to help build up an initial following and then picking off the stars with typical record label deals. Except… it appears that some of those musicians are realizing that they don’t need the labels any more. Jordis Unga, a singer who has appeared on two reality TV shows (Rock Star: INXS and The Voice), has decided that she doesn’t need to sign a label deal. While she didn’t win on either show, she did build up quite a following, and she decided that for her debut album, she might as well just hit up Kickstarter, and ask for $ 33,000. Which she got. In less than a day. In the first day alone her project on Kickstarter raised over $ 50,000.

Now, perhaps some will complain that she is now beholden to her fans, but that seems a lot better than being beholden to a multinational conglomerate who claims all ownership and control of your work. Others, quite reasonably, will point out that she built up some of this following by being on two prime time network national TV shows. That’s absolutely true. No one is saying that the trick to being a successful musician today is to just go on reality TV. But the point is that if you can build up a following — in any way possible — the need for a record label diminishes. And there are more and more and more ways to build up that audience today. If the labels aren’t worried about these alternatives, they’re not paying very much attention.
