Someone Out There Is 3D-Printing Faces With Your Discarded DNA Scraps

It's probably not something you think about a lot, but we all leave pieces of ourselves everywhere we go. Flakes of skin here, a renegade hair there, the occasional loogie, they all leave some of your DNA behind. And while it normally goes untouched, someone could use it to say.
As part of her project Stranger Visions, Brooklyn-based artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg has been doing just that, using a cigarette butt, a wad of gum, and some hair that she found hanging around on the street. Using the DNA from the three samples, some software she wrote herself, and a 3D-printer, she's been able to create theoretical faces that belong to that cast-off genetic material.
Before you get too weirded out, it's important to note that these aren't the faces of those people, just possible faces based on gender, eye-color, and, maternal ethnicity, far from all the variables involved. There's a whole lot more subjectivity than we're kind of lead to believe."
And even if the results of this little experiment aren't particularly accurate or particularly useful, it does make you think twice about the trail of genetic information you're leaving behind you, and what people might be able to do with it, someday. Maybe you'll think twice about spitting on the street next time.

update to address confusion in Windows 8

A planned Windows 8 update to address complaints and confusion with Microsoft's new operating system will be made available for free this year, the company says.
Not charging extra for Windows 8.1, previously code named "Windows Blue", is consistent with the company's practice of offering "decimal point" updates to operating systems for free. But when Microsoft announced the update last week, it didn't say that it would be free.

Driverless future car is around the corner

T
he high-tech, superconnected car of the future is coming soon–but who will pay for it, and who will profit?
The Lexus SUV barreling down Silicon Valley’s Highway 101 is much like any other, save the $65,000 laser sensor spinning on the roof like a nerdy propeller beanie. Capturing 1.3 million bits of data per second along with video feeds and radar pulses, the car’s computers can “see” the vehicles around us and keep us clear of them. Which is a good thing. Because no one is driving.
