Even if it's faked, this "leaked" video of an Apple Tablet is pretty awesome: [link]
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
World's first 3D office photocopier launches
Ortery has launched a new office machine called 'Photosimile' or what it claims to be the world's first 3D product photography machine.
Photosimile is effectively a photocopier that creates virtual 3D replicas of whatever small artifact you like. Or animal (providing they sit still while the machine spins them around 360 degrees, that is!).
...
Ortery's Photosimile 5000 is now shipping at a cost of around US$17000 (£10550).
I think I'll wait for the price to come down a bit....

Hook it up to one of HP's new 3-D printers and you have a replicator. Okay, the replicas are all just plastic, but who doesn't plastic replicas of small artifacts?

Some blog (I think it's Make Magazine) has had a series of posts about a 3-D printer that's available as a kit. I think it's around $1000, considerably cheaper than the $15,000 for the HP 3-D printer....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hook it up to one of HP's new 3-D printers and you have a replicator.
Must have. Now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hook it up to one of HP's new 3-D printers and you have a replicator.
Tea, Earl Grey, hot?

As long as you don't mind it being entirely made of plastic.

Plus it might not be as hot as you like.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a machine that makes Earl Grey already. I call it a "kettle".

Did you know that the latest version of Microsoft's IIS server can detect an infinite loop and handle it gracefully?
On the downside, this makes detecting that you have an infinite loop more difficult.
