MIT researchers are taking 3D video to the actual third dimension with their prototype system of flying swarms of robot displays. Yup, read that again — I’ll wait. I know!! What?!

I’m only writing about this because this story’s everywhere, but the National Science Foundation recently proposed an idea – what if electric cars could sell their extra unused energy back into the energy grid?

The good news: Hulu’s coming to the iPad, giving people one more reason to buy one of the damn things. Access to every single episode of Lost on a beautiful screen while waiting at the airport? That’s a good thing. The bad news: they may charge money for the app, which as we all know, is [...more]
A couple of Harvard boys took a survey of typosquatting web sites — sites that take advantage of common misspellings — and found nearly 1 million sites taking advantage of the top 3,264.
