"Microsoft Patents Holodeck"

Hell yes. Probably for the best that Microsoft is doing it first, because if it was a company that allowed Adults Only content, the perfection of this technology would cause the collapse of the first world. :lol:

Nobody going out, desert roads, the system collapsing. Yes, that probably would be the apocalypse. Who could guess that MS censorship saved the modern world?? :lol:

Things like these really make me lean back in my chair, put my hands behind my head and go "ahhh", secure in the knowledge that immortality will be discovered within my lifetime.

It's disappointing that a lot of these didn't seem to get wider coverage this year. Also, man I wish I had studied neuroscience after reading this article! ;)

Seeing all this stuff just reminds me of how bloody pessimistic Huxley was. It hasn't been that bad, now has it :B

Actually yes it is that bad. But I'm also very OPTIMISTIC about the future because our attitude is changing to accept more liberty in society.

25. Human Brain Is Hacked

Oh come on. Its just a lie detector used this way. Hacked implies knowing about the brain in order change or rebuild it.


And still. Its like with words or weapons. We humans decide what we will do with them. They can hurt or save so many
