“It seems plausible that with technology we can, in the fairly near future create (or become) creatures who surpass humans in every intellectual and creative dimension. Events beyond such an event — such a singularity — are as unimaginable to us as opera is to a flatworm.” Vernor Vinge -SciFi great The Singularity is an apocalyptic idea originally proposed by John von Neumann, one of the inventors of digital computation, and elucidated by figures such as Ray Kurzweil and scifi great Vernor Vinge.

The Mobile Decade: Greatest Gadgets From 10 Years of Innovation During the first decade of the 21st century, we saw a whole slew of new mobile technologies capture the public imagination: the smartphone, the MP3 player, the USB stick, touchscreens, Wi-Fi, 3G wireless, pocket camcorders, digital SLRs and more.Thanks to these inventions, people got increasingly plugged into an always-on, totally portable, always-connected existence. Where we stand now, notebooks outsell desktop PCs, people spend more on mobile phones than on landlines, and portable game consoles outnumber the ones plugged into your TV cabinet. Top Scientific Breakthroughs of 2009 With so many incredible scientific advances and discoveries this year, Wired Science had a tough time choosing which 10 were the biggest

While many Americans chase millionaire status by “sitting with lotto tickets” and “giving their cash to casinos” (which at least gets us out of the house), some make their money by being out of this world awesome.  The 2009 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander competition has been completed, awarding two million dollars to the winners – and advancing extraterrestrial science in the process. The competition was to build a prototype lunar lander which could take off, hover, land on a bullseye and make a return trip – all inside a time limit, automated, and without assistance (because it’ll be quite hard to get out and repair it on the moon).

Warmer Seas Blocking Nature’s Carbon Pump Climate change isn’t just warming the atmosphere, it’s also warming the ocean’s surface and deeper levels of the water column.

Newly Declassified Files Detail Massive FBI Data-Mining Project A fast-growing FBI data-mining system billed as a tool for hunting terrorists is being used in hacker and domestic criminal investigations, and now contains tens of thousands of records from private corporate databases, including car-rental companies, large hotel chains and at least one national department store, declassified documents obtained by Wired.com show. Green Gear for Eco-Conscious Gadget Freaks You want to go green, you really do. And you’ve taken the steps to take your carbon footprint from Sasquatch-sized to ballerina-slipper tiny by cutting transcontinental flights, separating green and brown glass, even outfitting your home with fluorescent lights

Digital Contacts Will Keep an Eye on Your Vital Signs Forget about 20/20. “Perfect” vision could be redefined by gadgets that give you the eyes of a cyborg. The tech industry calls the digital enrichment of the physical world “augmented reality.” Such technology is already appearing in smartphones and toys, and enthusiasts dream of a pair of glasses we could don to enhance our everyday perception.

The Future of Airplane Seats Is Hurting My Butt Already It’s good to know that British company Design Q—who created the successful first class seats for Virgin Atlantic—has time to think about the rest of us, the air cattle. According to the company, the configuration “shows a generous gap between each of the seats, which could be reduced, but the centre seats are staggered to coincide with the gaps on the outboard seats.” EcoModo – The Best of TreeHugger Strange solar gadgets, odd not-tent-but-not-houses, Navy robots, and crashed UFOs…all the best from TreeHugger this week

We already know that scientists don’t just live on coffee, they love it.  We’ve reported on genetically engineered Java beans, sophisticated coffee purity sensors, even laser-heating the drink and now they’ve built the ultimate container: a space-age mug which maintains it at the perfect temperature. The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics has constructed the ultimate cup, and you’d be forgiven for thinking the following description is for part of the GI Joe Accelerator suits:  A honeycomb of highly conductive aluminium ribbons holds a specially-tuned Phase Change Material in place, the PCM specially selected for the current mission.  The mission is “coffee”.  This advanced core is surrounded by porcelain, presumably so the secret-agent container can blend in with civilian mugs
