March 18, 2016 - China has a new strategy in fighting crime, ripped from science fiction and hastily pasted at the top of the list of paranoia-inducing concepts.

It’s called pre-crime. It goes further than sting operations, counterterrorism, or any other government action to preempt criminal activity ever has before.

High over Alaska last summer, The Pentagon experimented with new, secret prototypes: micro-drones that can be launched from the flare dispensers of moving F-16s and F/A-18 fighter jets. Canisters containing the tiny aircraft descended from the jets on parachutes before breaking open, allowing wings on each drone to swing out and catch the wind. Inch-wide propellers on the back provided propulsion as they found one another and created a swarm. Do you feel safer knowing about these, or do you believe they may be used to further spy on Amerikans?

SYDNEY, Australia (PNN) - February 9, 2016 - Scientists in Australia have developed a “bionic spine” which could enable people with spinal cord injuries to walk again by controlling a tiny paper clip-sized device implanted in the brain.

The device, to be implanted in three paraplegic patients in Melbourne next year, allows patients left paralyzed by injury or illness to subconsciously control equipment that can move robotic limbs.
