Believed to be the work of a licensed hunter, the kill occurred within the confines of the law but the shooting has raised questions about red deer huntin… Read the full story on TreeHugger

October 25, 2010 No Comment
Panasonic’s full-size Power Loader exoskeleton certainly has its place, but there are times when giant freaking robots arms might be considered overkill. Thankfully, Panasonic (or more specifically, its Activelink subsidiary) has considered such situations, and has now come out with its streamlined Power Loader Light (or PLL). As you can see, this model eschews the robot arms altogether, but it makes use of the same direct force feedback system that’s able to predict your leg movements and increase your leg strength by up 40 kilograms. Of course, even the Light version is still a bit out of reach for everyday use — it will initially cost around $223,000, but Panasonic is offering a grant program to potential developers that would cut the price in half.

October 25, 2010 No Comment
The folks at MSNBC are for some reason still under the impression that they are anything but a far less successful liberal alternative to Fox News. The former channel's president, Phil Griffin, tried to perpetuate that delusion in a blog post by New York Times media blogger Brian Stelter on Sunday. Griffin claimed that MSNBC, unlike Fox News, does not help guests who are political candidates solicit funds on air. In fact, MSNBC psychotalker Ed Schultz has done just that on multiple occasions. “Show me an example of us fund-raising,” Stelter quotes Griffin as saying. Perhaps he should have reviewed his own channel's coverage before making that challenge ( gladly accepted by cable news blogger Johnny Dollar). read more
