FORM 1 - Awesome Upcoming 3D Printer
Just as the term suggests, 3D printing is the technology that could forge your digital design into a solid real-life product. It’s nothing new for the advanced mechanical industry, but a personal 3D printer is definitely a revolutionary idea.The reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. all the professional-quality 3D printers were expensive (costs thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use.Form 1 is one such personal 3D printer which can be yours at just $2799. The Form 1 printer is engineered to produce high resolution parts with the touch of a button. Form software is simple to use so you can spend less time setting up prints and more time designing.The Form Finish post-processing kit keeps your desktop organized so that you can easily put the finishing touches on your masterpiece.A key advantage of the Form software is the ability to precisely generate thin, breakable support structures that serve their purpose during printing but are easily removed afterward.Tuesday, May 07, 2013

"Dog TV" - television channel designed specifically to entertain your dogs
Filmmakers are calling DogTV a new breed of television-an eight-hour block of on-demand cable TV programming designed to keep your dog relaxed, stimulated and entertained while you are at work. Program developers combined scientific research and expert opinions to decide how to best capture the dog’s attention and keep its interest throughout the day. The programming is also specifically tailored to dog’s natural sleep cycles. Dog TV creators point out that unlike human television, which often shows violence or other disturbing images, the programming is especially developed not to stress your dog and in many cases actually calms the dog.In production, they had to mute colors, alter sound and add music specially written for dogs.
