...while the world waits for WiMAX, wireless operators in Sydney, Johannesburg, Paris and the Bay Area are already deploying ArrayComm's new antenna design, to the dismay of mobile carriers. Conventional mobile antennae, Cooper says, "are really just a bunch of sticks - we make them smart.'' Where conventional masts send out signals in circular arcs - a process that wastes transmission power because only the signals that hit a phone are used - an ArrayComm antenna transmits signals in a straight line, targeting a particular phone that it recognizes using specialized software. Cooper says ArrayComm's software, which resides in computers...
...night and thermal vision, four cameras and a 7.62-mm machine gun. It can climb stairs and is utterly silent--until it opens fire. A live video feed enables its "driver" to operate the vehicle from up to 1 mile away. The U.S. Army has ordered 18 to deploy in Iraq...

After a three-year flight to collect samples of the solar wind, Genesis was supposed to re-enter the atmosphere, deploy its parachutes and be snagged in midair by a Hollywood helicopter pilot. But the chutes failed to open. NASA scientists believe some samples may nonetheless have survived intact...
