Motorola’s Digital Tattoos
It seems everyday I can say, “the future is here.” I know this one is from last year, but it’s awesome. What I love about tech is how people reverse engineer it and turn it into something new. This one has a lot of potential. Motorola has created a digital tattoo for unlocking your phone.

The first strains of Genetic Engineering have taken hold.
In August 1996, at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., a 39-year-old mechanical engineer from Pittsburgh named Maureen Ott became pregnant. Ott had been trying for almost seven years to conceive a child through in vitro fertilization. Unwilling to give up, she submitted to an experimental procedure in which doctors extracted her eggs, slid a needle through their shiny coat and injected not only her husband’s sperm but also a small amount of cytoplasm from another woman’s egg…

FDA Approved Bionic Arm
via The Verge

Now, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted its approval to one of the projects that came from that effort: a mind-controlled prosthetic limb called the DEKA Arm. A number of other scientists and engineers around the world are working on similar devices, but this is the first such prosthetic to get FDA approval. The prosthetic device comes from a company founded by Segway inventor Dean Kamen, and it is roughly the size and weight of an adult arm.
