Microsoft to Launch Mohoro – Use Windows Over the Internet

The Start Screen may be soon accessible over the Internet

Microsoft is reportedly working on a new project called Mohoro that would basically allow users to access a Windows installation over the Internet, without the need to deploy the operating system on a local system.

Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet writes that Mohoro would be a desktop virtualization service based on Windows Azure that would basically represent Microsoft’s first major step towards a subscription service for the Windows platform.

The pay-per-use system would be specifically aimed at companies looking to access their own clients or applications stored in the cloud, while also being capable of setting up restrictions and limitations for their employees.

The desktop as a service Windows might be released in 2014, even though there’s no official word on it.

The company has already purchased Mohoro.com and Mohoro.net domains, so it’s most likely working on this new project as we speak.

Physics behind the Arc Reactor

It started with me ranting about how I should understand the physics of arc reactor more and then Sera needs some babel speak ideas for her Tony. I know this has been discussed deeply by most iron man fanatics before, but this is the simplified version for people who can’t be bothered to understand the big science-y words. I’m not saying that this is accurate because I’m not a nuclear engineer either, and I hope I can get some feedbacks from people who actually understand this. Since vibranium is not actually a real element, I’m focusing on the old arc reactor tech that runs on palladium. Let’s do a bit revision on fusion, yes? During nuclear fusion, light atoms combine to form heavier elements; in the process, a small fraction of mass is converted into lots of energy. Fusion reactions are called thermonuclear reactions because high temperatures are required to overcome the coloumbic repulsion between the nuclei being fused, i.e., “thermo” for the heat required...

'Drone It Yourself' Lets You Create a Drone from Any Object

Have you ever wished for a flying book? A flying keyboard? Or, perhaps, a flying bodyboard? Well, it's your lucky day, because thanks to "Drone It Yourself," you can turn pretty much any object into a quadrocopter. The drone kit, created by Dutch independent designer Jasper Van Loenen, is comprised of pieces that can be 3D printed, and then clamped to any object you so desire. All that's needed are the control unit and four propellers, and then you can make virtually anything airborne. news source

Meet DARPA's 6'2" disaster-response robot

At six-foot-two and 330 pounds, this hulking first responder has all the qualities you'd want in the field after a disaster: strength, endurance and calm under pressure. Better yet, it has two sets of hands, 28 hydraulic joints, stereo cameras in its head and an onboard computer. The ATLAS humanoid robot , which looks vaguely like something from the "Terminator" movies, was created by Boston Dynamics for DARPA, a research arm of the U.S. Department of Defense. It will compete in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), a competition that invites engineers to create a remotely controlled robot that can respond to natural or man-made disasters. The winning robot could be used in situations deemed too dangerous for humans, like the 2011 nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The DRC is broken up into three challenges. The first was the Virtual Robotics Challenge, in which 26 teams controlled simulated, 3-D robots. Only seven of...
