“Kid” powered “Drum Panel/Synthesizer” for Playgrounds. “Buttons” are simple regions of plastic shaped in circles with vibration sensors. A wavelet analysis bank is used to separate “hits” in a specific location from random structural vibrations and hits that may have happened elsewhere. It also has a cool voice/rhythm record mode. After the first demo of the voice record/ playback the unit runs out of juice. One gets anywhere from 45-seconds to 3 minutes depending on how the unit is used. Sorry for the shaky video. I was trying to hold the camera while operating the unit. The is some background noise from someone running power equipment in the background. Video Rating: 5 / 5

The growth of cloud computing is astounding. International Data Corporation projects that the market for Cloud Computing will grow at an annual rate of 21.6% from about billion in 2009 to almost billion by 2014. The reasons for this phenomenal growth are many. For growing companies limited by finances, cloud computing brings some down-to-earth benefits. One of the most important is that Cloud Computing helps businesses cut costs by sharing resources. Most businesses have a high degree of variability in their use of IT resources. Yet when you manage these resources in-house, you must allow for the highest expected requirements or fail to meet the demands of your customers and the needs of your employees. The result is that, typically, businesses use only 5% — 15% of the capacities of their servers. But in the cloud, you don’t pay for idle capacity. So you don’t need to provide full-time resources to meet spikes in demand. This cuts costs. You’ll also be able to reduce the headache and expense of maintaining your current in-house IT infrastructure. With Cloud Computing, the majority of this maintenance will now be done at and by your Cloud service provider. Because you are, in effect, renting instead of buying technology, you convert capital investments to operating expenses. Capital expenditures are reduced because you no longer need to buy hardware to update obsolete servers and because there are no longer large up-front expenses in the form of hefty software … Video Rating: 5 / 5

www.euronews.com In this edition of U-talk, Damien, from Lyon, France, poses this question: “I was recently approached in the street and asked to sign a European Citizens’ Initiative to improve animal protection in the European Union. The organisers explained that if they got enough signatures the European Commission would be obliged to study the matter. Is this true?” Malgorzata Kurowska, Senior Communications Officer for Europe Direct, responds: “Indeed, as from 1 April 2012, the new European Citizens’ Initiative allows European citizens to be more directly involved in the legislative procedure of the European Union. It will let them invite the European Commission to propose a new piece of legislation. “To get started, the interested parties need to set up a special committee. This committee has to be made up of at least seven EU citizens who are old enough to vote in European Parliament elections and living in at least seven different European countries. “The committee, acting as an official organiser of the initiative, then needs to register on the special website of the European Commission. “The European Commission then has two months to verify if the provided data are correct and if the issue concerns matters where the EU has the competence to act and then it will validate the registration. “After the initiative is registered, the committee can start collecting statements of support from the European citizens. The organisers have one year to do so. The statements … Video Rating: 5 / 5
Legion explains about the Geth, their history, and their motivations in these conversations. Geth Technology: The most difficult aspect of geth existence for organics to comprehend is that a body is meaningless to geth. The biped form commonly perceived as a geth is nothing more than a “mobile platform.” A geth’s software — hundreds of programs whose interactions mimic organic consciousness — can be installed in any given hardware. The geth that was a bipedal soldier an hour ago may now be a quadruped heavy armature and, in another hour, might be a starship. Between tasks, geth programs upload to gigantic space station mainframes that allow billions of programs to exchange thoughts and memories with minimal lag. The claim that the geth are an example of the extreme risk posed by AI development is misleading. As opposed to the “top down” design of organic-created AIs, in which hardware and software are specifically designed to achieve consciousness, geth are a “bottom up” model. They were never intended to possess more than animal-level, trainable reasoning. Designed as VI-driven robots — not significantly different from modern security mechs — geth consciousness developed as their adaptive learning programs interacted with one another via networked processing. The geth code-base discovered that three individual robots using a wireless local network to form a single mind could perform many tasks more efficiently than they could as individuals. As these local networks … Video Rating: 5 / 5
