I’d Like You to Meet “Cortana” My Artificial Intelligence / Companies / Technology
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: I’d like to introduce you to Cortana.
And let me tell you: She’s awesome.
Cortana can search the Internet, set up reminders, shift calendar appointments, manage your mishmash of meetings, find restaurants, send text messages, and place phone calls. And, as good as she is right now, Cortana only seems to get better the more that I deal with her. The longer we work together, the more she seems to understand my habits and anticipate my needs.

The Technological Evolution of Nonlethal Weapons / Companies / Technology
By: Casey_Research
By Doug Hornig, Senior Editor
The rise of humans from fearful creatures huddled around cave fires to the dominant species on the planet largely parallels the evolution of weaponry. Different subgroups rose and fell, spreading their culture or declining in influence as they either came up with the new best thing with which to slaughter their neighbors or fell behind in the innovation game.
Club, axe, spear, atlatl, sword, longbow, crossbow, catapult, gun, bomb, artillery, really big bomb—all have had their day.

Transformative Energy Technologies / Companies / Technology
By: The_Energy_Report
The synergy of temperament and intellect has fostered much success for the father-son team of Michael Berry, editor of Morning Notes, and Chris Berry, founder of House Mountain Partners LLC. In this Father's Day interview with The Energy Report, the Berrys reveal what they've learned from each other's investment strategies over the years, and mull energy metals and emerging green technologies that could be "compelling investment opportunities." They also reveal that, for all the familial camaraderie, there are energy issues about which they strongly disagree.

Profit from the Breakthrough in Liquid-Cooled Computers / Companies / Technology
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: When Ray Harroun came out of retirement in 1911 to race in the first Indianapolis 500, he made one request: He wanted to ditch the ride-along mechanic that the rules required in order to save weight and give his yellow Marmon Wasp a racing edge.
The Indy organizers balked: The mechanic provided a big measure of safety, they said, acting as a spotter who could watch for cars behind or on either side of the racer.

How to Profit from The Next Technological Revolutions / Companies / Technology
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The quantum leap in technological development in computing, molecular biology and material sciences is converging towards sparking the next series of technological revolutions the name to which will only be given many decades from now with the benefit of hindsight but all things considered I suspect that we come to call it the Graphene Age, as this wonder material becomes the building blocks for everything we use today including computers, nano machines and ultimately even new life forms.

Epic Crisis... and Vast Prosperity / Stock-Markets / Technology
By: DailyWealth
Porter Stansberry writes: I have become well-known in financial circles for doom-and-gloom themes.
That's mainly because my professional life as a financial writer and analyst happened to correspond with the largest speculative bubbles in history.
As a result, I spent most of my 30s writing about one disaster or another... from the collapse of MCI-WorldCom and the dot-com/telecom bubble... to the mortgage/housing bubble... to today's sovereign-debt bubble (which, by the way, is the largest and most dangerous bubble yet... by a wide margin).

How to Invest in Graphene, Silicon 2.0 / Companies / Technology
By: Money_Morning
G.S. Early writes: When people ask how to invest in graphene, I think of a recent History Channel series called "The Men Who Built America."
It isn't about financial tricks, dark pool trading, mergers and acquisitions, derivatives and securities bundling. It's about a time when real things were built by real people.

A new substance that you've probably never heard of could end that worry - and a few others, as well.
Just created at the University of Buffalo, this advanced substance is billed as a portable hydrogen fuel cell. Just add water, and the chemical reaction will yield an instant way to charge your cellphone's dead battery.

Augmented Reality: Do Smart Glasses Herald the End of the Smart Phone Era? / Companies / Technology
By: DK_Matai
Computerised glasses are, at this moment, the wearable computing technology that is most likely to herald the beginning of the end of the Smartphone era. Although they are each taking slightly different approaches to these technologies, Apple, Google and Microsoft are all striving to define the market for wearable computers of which computerised glasses are an integral part. The US military, especially the Special Forces units, already use wearable computers for communications and satellite navigation tasks. That technology hasn't yet reached consumer or business users, but it soon will. Smart glasses are due to be launched selectively in the New Year.

Is Quantum Internet Next? / Politics / Technology
By: DK_Matai
Ever since Captain Kirk uttered the immortal words "Beam me up, Scotty!" in Star Trek, teleportation has always occupied a fascinating seat within the front rows of our pop culture. Science has not yet caught up with the fiction of beaming a person or object between two places, however, quantum teleportation is no longer a fantasy. In fact, it's been proven so many times that an international space race to develop quantum teleportation is currently underway.

How to Fabricate Biocompatible 3D Microstructures in Seconds?
Nano-engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed and demonstrated a novel and highly innovative technology that can fabricate three dimensional (3D) micro-structures out of soft, biocompatible hydrogels in a matter of seconds. The Chen Research Group -- spearheaded by nano-engineering professor Shaochen Chen -- is bringing nano and structural engineers, medical device labs and visual artists into a collaborative environment under one roof to pioneer a 21st century renaissance in next generation technology. The synthetic fabrication of complex natural structures like spirals, flowers and hemispheres, has now been demonstrated via this new technology.
