It's so big, current theories say it shouldn't exist. http://www.fatcatnewsvideo.com/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=clip&assetId=va_id-3900039 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT It has become fashionable of late to highlight the fact that the Consumer Electronics Show has lost some of its relevance in a market that's as fluid as technology itself. And while it's true that tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Google and others may feel like they have outgrown the event, the spirit of CES is very much alive with every tech company that comes to Las Vegas with the hopes of hitting it big. The Combat Creatures booth, hidden in the shadows of larger players, is among the smaller companies creating a buzz at this years show. Their robotic "Attacknids" are drawing a crowd as they battle among themselves for supremacy. "The reaction has been great, everyone loves it," explained Alan Bryant, of Combat Creatures. "Everyone who comes in stops, everyone who comes by, straightaway, you can kind of see them wandering along behind you and then they're like ' oh wow,' and come over and straightway want to play with it, so we've have had hundreds and hundreds of people playing on it." Cube 3D is another of the companies that is drawing a crowd. Their demonstration of the possibility and potential of the 3D printer market is limitless. "Military parts are printed, architectural things are printed, Invisalign, all through our technology, car parts, airplane parts, shoes, architectural designs, all 3D printed," said Adam Reichental, of Cube 3D, one of the main players in the emerging field. " It is not just about the higher end uses about this, it is about making it available to everyone as well." The reality is that CES is still a great place to be discovered, according to Living In Digital Times founder, Robin Raskin. "Really, if you just look around there are robots that wash your windows, there are toilet training wi-fi devices, there are so many cool products being invented right now. Maybe they will be acquired by the big guys, maybe they will be the big guy," said Raskin. Also at the show was rapper turned entrepreneur 50 Cent, now a veteran of CES and once again hawking his line of headphones. "When I came to CES, this is my third CES, when I came I had 3D renderings of a headset style and I was announcing that it was coming. Since then we've launched in 46 countries, and I've accomplished it in a short period of time, actually faster than I anticipated." The 46th annual CES, which attracts thousands of exhibitors and is expected to be attended by more than 150,000 people, runs through Friday (January 11). http://www.fatcatnewsvideo.com/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=clip&assetId=va_id-3897563 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT The non-profit organization Mars One has plans to begin training to colonize Mars this year.

Mark Cahill, who lost the use of his right hand due to gout, underwent the eight-hour operation to have his hand removed and replaced on December 27 2012. "Hopefully I will be able to get back to work for a start. That's a major difference. I might be able to cut my food up, button my shirts, fasten a pair of shoelaces but mainly I'll be able to hold my grandson's hand," he said. Doctors at Leeds General Infirmary in northern England said a new technique was used which allowed very accurate restoration of nerve structures. "I'm getting slight movement now - my feeling has just started to come back but everything's looking very very good, it's doing well," he added. Leeds Teaching Hospital announced in late 2011 that it was looking for potential candidates for arm or hand transplants. Mr Cahill was one of two potential candidates for treatment after a search across the country, and he was eventually chosen because he was the best tissue match. The Leeds team worked with colleagues in Lyon, France, where hand transplants were pioneered in 1988. http://www.fatcatnewsvideo.com/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=clip&assetId=va_id-3890341 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT Colombian businessman Miguel Caballero has made bulletproof clothing for armies around the world for 20 years - now, he's making childrenswear.

Duration: 00:52 http://www.fatcatnewsvideo.com/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=clip&assetId=va_id-3875918 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT The new space crew with astronauts from Russia, the U.S. and Canada on Tuesday (December 18) gave a news conference ahead of their flight to the International Space Station (ISS). The crew will blast off from Kazakhstan's Baikonur on Wednesday (December 19) and are expected to arrive at the International Space Station on Friday (December 21). The launch comes just a few days ahead of Western Christmas, which Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield said he had celebrated early in Kazakhstan. "It's once a year that we gather as a group and fortunately we've had a chance to gather here in Baikanour for Christmas together, but therefore, because of the traditions worldwide it does make all of us reflect - me specifically - on the wonderful things that happened, the friendship and love for friends and family," Hadfied said. Hadfield is slated to take command of the ISS in March when current ISS commander, U.S. astronaut Kevin Ford is scheduled to return to earth with two of his Russian colleagues. The new space crew, consisting of Hadfield, American astronaut Tom Marshburn, and Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko, experienced cold temperatures during their stay in Kazakhstan. On Tuesday temperatures as low as minus 18 degrees Celsius were recorded in Baikonur. "One of the differences between being here in the wintertime and summertime is we walk much faster between buildings," Marshburn said. The crew, who is planning to play a guitar on the ISS, were treated to a guitar song during the news conference. "As an astronaut, we ride rockets for a living, so it's important for us to be optimists, not pessimists. And the steps that they made on the moon opened the doors of invitation to us and what we are doing today as a group is continuing throught that door and learning the things that we need to do and taking one small step at a time so that we can better understand where we are in the universe, and can better lead towards the future," Hadfield said. The three crew members have been training for their mission for over four years. They will join their colleagues, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Evgeny Tarelkin, and NASA astronaut Kevin Ford at the ISS. Chris Hadfield, according to media reports, will make history next year when he becomes the first astronaut from Canada to command the International Space Station. http://www.fatcatnewsvideo.com/VideoDetail.aspx?pv=clip&assetId=va_id-3872884 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT
