When Splice, which opens in theaters everywhere this Friday, first screened at January’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, two of our very own writers had the dubious honor of taking it all in. Now, six months later and with the film’s distributor ramping up a massive ad blitz, we thought it would be as [...]
The time is soon arriving that the oil barons have been dreading and conspiring against for years. That is, when electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a pipe dream of burnt out hippies, but rather a fully viable consumer product. A while back we talked about Better Place, a company helping to visualize and build the [...]
Last year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Microsoft and Sony announced game-changing technologies (literally) and, unless you’re a gamer, you probably haven’t heard of them. Both have to do with user motion-control for the Xbox and PlayStation 3, which directly encroaches on Nintendos long-standing and popular gimmick. Except Microsoft is taking a different route than the motion controller. They’re taking [...]
It’s been a very long time since I could say I liked Bill Gates, let alone agreed with him. But in a recent Ted Talk (thanks PopSci), he lauded the efforts of President Obama in pushing for a broader use of nuclear power and even supported the idea. Now, when two people with whom I vehemently [...]
This post may be controversial to some, but I see it as something worth talking about. I heard about Peter Duesberg last semester in my BIO 1610 class, then I read a Newsweek article about him, entitled “The World’s Most Reviled Genius.” In the article you learn quite a bit about Duesberg, his professional career, as well [...]
Well, it seems Google, everyone’s favorite Internet company, is trying to take another leap forward. This time on two fronts. For one, by promising language translation software that works right from your cellphone. And secondly, with their new social networking tool, Buzz. Let’s talk cellphone interpreter first. The basic plan is to create software that [...]
After a too-long absence from writing for Rhombus, I find it fitting to come back with an article that was inspired via request by another Rhombus contributor, a one Mr. J. Petersen, who sent me a link to a company called Better Place. Simply put, Better Place is a company trying to do for the [...]
It’s fairly hard to argue that both HD and the Blu-Ray disc (BD) are not successful consumer technologies. In fact, if you want to go out and buy a brand new standard definition television, you probably won’t be able to. It even appears that Best Buy doesn’t offer SD televisions anymore, unless you want to [...]
Human progress is an interesting thing. If we look at a strictly anthropologic/evolutionary view, we as a species have been evolving over the past few million years. From walking upright to developing an enlarged left side of the brain which promotes the use of language to eradicating smallpox and landing on the moon (sorry, it [...]
Chances are you either have Netflix, know someone that does, or at least watched a Netflixed movie. The hugely successful online movie rental giant somewhat recently launched their “Watch Instantly” option for all their plans, giving users lightning fast access to hundreds of movies, as long as their internet connection allows it. In fact, Netflix [...]
