“We can now look even further back in time, identifying galaxies when the Universe was only 5% of its current age - within one billion years of the Big Bang,” says Dr. Daniel Stark of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. “These are some of the most distant, and perhaps the most galaxies distant yet seen.”

ritard:

Every day is like a new game of “where’s the parrot going to be when I come home from work?”. This is where I found her today, sitting in the dark, judging.

oh yes, that game.

caro:

I’m moving back east tomorrow. I’m going to miss my neighborhood - this big awesome “Welcome to San Francisco” sign was just added in the past few weeks outside the Anchor brewery a few blocks from my house.

Sorry San Francisco. We win.

sreetips:

TEDIndia, the India version of the celebrated California technology conference, has had its share of compelling talks, packaged and playing on TED.com. And at least one jaw-dropping, must-watch video. It’s easy to say something is “game-changing technology” - but rarely does an invention create a whole new game. In this case, blending the physical and digital worlds in a way we’ve never seen before.

The talk is by Pranav Mistry of the MIT Media Lab and former Microsoft engineer (and winner of Technology Review’s TR35 2009 Young Inventor Award. You can read/watch more about his SixthSense products here.

Mistry says the current prototype cost $350 to build. I bet a lot of folks would line up to buy one at double that price.

[TED talks are usually less than 15 minutes, but if you are in a rush, the magic starts around 5:30 on this video. You can read a transcript by clicking on “open interactive transcript” here.]

I don’t think I want to go back to New York today. I’d rather stay in my little winter wonderland for another month or so.
