Silk: it’s stronger than Kevlar, thinner than a human hair, it’s biocompatible (it doesn’t trigger human immune system response), and it’s produced by insects (although some new-fangled metabolically engineered bacteria seem to be up to the task). Researchers at Tufts University have created a silk and gold biosensor that can be implanted in the body to keep tabs on proteins and chemicals. One possible use would be to keep track of diabetic’s glucose levels, notifying the patient when things go wonky.
If you picked up Samsung’s 640GB S2 portable USB hard drive earlier this year then you might want to look away. Sammy just update the drive with a USB 3.0 interface and 7,200RPM spindle speed that should easily best its predecessor when it comes to pushing the bits around. Then again, maybe you bought the Michael Jackson edition in which case, a USB 2.0 interface and 5,400RPM speed are the least of your problems

As camera makers shift from touting megapixels to low-light and HD video recording performance, in steps a trio of point-and-shoot cameras from Canon — the PowerShot S95 pictured above and the SD4500 IS and SX130 IS both pictured after the break. The S95 update ($399.99 in late August) to last year’s S90 combines Canon’s DIGIC 4 image processing, a 10-megapixel high-sensitivity CCD sensor, and wide f/2.0 lens to enhance image quality and reduce noise at high ISO levels without resorting to a flash. It features a new high dynamic range ( HDR ) mode, 720p video recording, and mini HDMI for throwing that video up to the living room flat screen

If you have a Maven project of any size, particularly involving many modules or large numbers of dependencies, you have probably come across issues when updating your version numbers. Of course the Maven Release Plugin does a great job for updating version numbers as part of the automated release process, but there are times when it doesn’t quite fit the bill, and version numbers are not…

We had a feeling we’d be seeing the well-leaked Nikon D3100 this week after the Coolpix S1100pj and S5100 were officially launched on Tuesday, and here it is, right on cue. Just as we’d heard, the big news is the addition of a 1080p/24 H.264 AVCHD movie mode with continuous contrast-detect autofocus, complete with face detection and subject tracking. That’s a major first in the DSLR world, although we’re extremely curious to hear how much focus motor noise you can hear in the clips — we’ve definitely had issues with other continuous autofocus systems in the past

There are mechanical keyboards , and then there’s Razer ‘s newest duo. For the past three years, the gaming accessory company has been toiling in a back room trying to figure out how to really get mechanical keyboards right; according to it, the vast majority of the options today “feature stiff keys that cause key actuation fatigue,” and it has sought to remedy said issue with the BlackWidow and BlackWidow Ultimate.
