"Space explorers have yet to get their hands on the replicator of "Star Trek" to create anything they might require. But NASA has developed a technology that could enable lunar colonists to carry out on-site manufacturing on the moon, or allow future astronauts to create critical spare parts during the long trip to Mars. The method, called electron beam freeform fabrication (EBF3), uses an electron beam to melt metals and build objects layer by layer. Such an approach already promises to cut manufacturing costs for the aerospace industry, and could pioneer development of new materials. It has also thrilled astronauts on the International Space Station by dangling the possibility of designing new tools or objects, researchers said." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

"When finding inspiration for your next project or a new brush that is just right, web design blogs have come a long way over the past year. Some have stuck with us for many years, faded away to be forgotten or seemed to have become popular in a short amount of time. This is a collection of the 16 most influential web design blogs on the internets in 2009. In some form or another they have all helped us become better designers, coders, and all around rockstars. Plus, they give out loads of awesome freebies and ask nothing in return. How much more awesomeness can you ask for? Let’s have a look shall we! 1. Smashing Magazine Founded in September 2006, Smashing Magazine delivers useful and innovative information to Web designers and developers. Twitter Followers: 79,000 – @smashingmag smashing-mag 2. Abduzeedo Abduzeedo is a blog about design.

You know, general 'how to' design-related queries. - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

"Microsoft seemed adrift, bereft of ideas or inspiration as its empire was systematically hacked to bits by Google, Apple and Mozilla. And yet, two years later and the company is once again the toast of the tech press. Windows 7 is good, but one product’s not enough to rescue an enormous company’s reputation. What on earth has happened? Is it really okay to like Microsoft again?" - Adi from Bookmarklet

Love or don´t love should be irrelevant. I like some products from Microsoft, i like some from Google and some from Apple. Do i love one company over the other? I don´´t think so. Why would i. - Flynn (Michael A. Volz)

We could each put in a little cash to keep funding going, for example. - Kol Tregaskes

I'd help we could put this in the cloud and run with it from there (ensuring excellent quality backups as well). I'd also help with dollars. But it looks like Paul B is still working on the system and moving servers. So who knows, but if the place goes up, count me in technological and dollar support. DM me if needed. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Can’t get it running on Centro, although 4.8 runs just fine. - Natsuki Seika

"To participate, you just have to log in with Google, Yahoo!, Facebook or OpenID, then find a story and write a prequel or a sequel in 1024 characters. Your piece doesn't have to stand alone, it could just flesh out a character or place, or start a new scene for someone else to finish. I'm looking forward to reading some of the stuff coming out of Ficly, and speculating that maybe the evolution of print-on-demand services will play well with it. It would be too cool to have a long story you helped write shipped to your door in book form." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

Make a single private group for all your Twitter feeds, then apply filters. - Karl Knechtel

The old imaginary friends feature generated a hex string for the username. - Morton Fox

Karl, how do you make a single group work for multiple Twitter feeds? I couldn't tell which tweets were from which feeds. - Morton Fox
