Bug-eyes, Corporate Pirates, Mad Cow, J Lo, and Wii Welcome You to Your Weekend
1. Scientists from UC Berkeley have created insect-inspired artificial eyes. Think super-sight, think Spiderman and Human Fly, but don't whip out or prepare for your Halloween outfits yet. These broad-view, lens-packed eyes of efficiency will be used for surveillance, medical procedures, and the like. (ScienceNow)
2. Because corporations like NEC are people too, they suffer as we do and fall victim to identity theft. Not only were computer goods being sold under the NEC brand, the whole company itself had itself been pirated, as an investigation with Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese law enforcement agencies discovered. The enterprising pirates also wanted to release their own products in the vein of MP3 players and home entertainment centers under the NEC name. Manufacturing, distribution, payment--the whole operation and shebang--were taken care of as well in this whole fake NEC. I don't know if Jennifer Jason Leigh has the acting chops to handle this meaty role in the movie remake... but it would be awesome-o if she tried. (IHT)
3. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns announced today that less than one in a million cows have mad cow disease, which is really reassuring in the face of unreassuring cutbacks in testing programs on which the USDA plans. (Reuters)
4. Following in the footsteps of former flame P-Diddy and adding to her mega-empire, Jennifer Lopez is in the talks with MTV to star in her own reality show, which would follow her and a group of dance mentees, which may or may not exist already (probably the former), around. Audience members can try to spot in each episode Marc Anthony, lurking in the shadows, shedding a tiny inadequate tear. (Female First)
6. From 6 months of development in Japan comes the name for the new Nintendo console: Wii. That's right, like "wee" or "we" because the product is so inclusive and wonderfully fun. Because everyone, including the serious gamer, will really want to go into a store asking for a Wii, so honestly one has to wonder--6 months? (NYT)
