Technology 2012, The Most Important Year Ever, Rise of the Robot, Additive Revolution / Companies / Technology
By: John_Mauldin
As you'll recall, I spent much of last week with the folks at Casey Research, at their most recent investment summit. They always put on a top-notch show, and there were many impressive speakers. But, as a big fan of technology, both for its place in the future of our economy and for the sheer coolness factor of some of the amazing things we can now achieve, I really liked one talk in particular.

How to Fabricate Biocompatible 3D Microstructures in Seconds?
Nano-engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed and demonstrated a novel and highly innovative technology that can fabricate three dimensional (3D) micro-structures out of soft, biocompatible hydrogels in a matter of seconds. The Chen Research Group -- spearheaded by nano-engineering professor Shaochen Chen -- is bringing nano and structural engineers, medical device labs and visual artists into a collaborative environment under one roof to pioneer a 21st century renaissance in next generation technology. The synthetic fabrication of complex natural structures like spirals, flowers and hemispheres, has now been demonstrated via this new technology.

God Particle Finally Found: Brand New Physics Now In The Making? / Politics / Technology
By: DK_Matai
Scientists working with the world's most powerful atom smasher -- the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) -- outside Geneva at the European organisation for nuclear research (CERN) are expected to announce to the world on Wednesday 4th July 2012 that they have finally found the elusive Higgs boson – dubbed the 'God particle' because it brings mass and defines order in the universe. The results Cern scientists are preparing to announce are exactly like finding the very first fossilised imprint of a dinosaur: One sees the footprints and the shadow of the vast and formidable creature, but one doesn't actually see IT at all!

US Economy Sitting On The Threshold Of A New Golden Age: Part One / Stock-Markets / Technology
By: Charles_Carnevale
Introduction: Don’t Sell the US Economy (or the World’s) Short
In the past, I’ve written numerous articles positing a long-term optimistic outlook for both our economy and the attractive future growth prospects of our great American businesses. Even though I hate to forecast the market in general, I have even presented evidence indicating that the general market as represented by the S&P 500 is currently reasonably priced and even slightly undervalued. My most recent contribution can be found here.

Is the Generational Divide in Technology Widening? / Companies / Technology
By: Casey_Research
Alex Daley, Casey Research writes:
My son doesn't know how to use a mouse.
He doesn't even know what one is. As far as he's concerned, it's a furry animal he's only seen in books and running around the floor of the Newark airport.
While I've known this for some time, it recently moved from the back of my mind to front and center following a brief car trip a few days ago. From the back seat, my eldest son – who for some inexplicable reason loves to watch the instructions tick by on the screen of the GPS unit sitting on the dashboard – requested that I program the unit to give us directions home. I politely declined, pointing out that I couldn't be messing around with the screen as I was already driving. He followed up with that well-known, youthful naïveté that borders on soul-piercing in its effectiveness to point our shortcomings in ourselves and our world by asking:

U.S. Corporations Go From Innovation to Rent Seeking Intellectual Property Monopolies / Politics / Technology
By: Douglas_French
It's often thought that the technology sector is the least regulated and therefore has been the most productive during the past couple of decades. Famously, Bill Gates had no interest in politics. "In the beginning, Microsoft tried to ignore the powerful political forces arrayed against it, hunkering down in Redmond, Washington, to focus on its core businesses," William F. Shugart wrote in the Freeman. Of course, the Department of Justice snapped Mr. Gates to attention.

Crushing National Debts and Deficits, Economic Revolutions, and Extraordinary Popular Delusions / Economics / Technology
By: John_Mauldin
Professor Andrew Odlyzko leads off this week's Outside the Box with a familiar litany:
"A superpower with crippling debt, exorbitant taxes, glaring inequality, wages far exceeding those of competitors, high and persistent unemployment, lack of basic workplace skills, malnutrition, a rapidly growing rival across the ocean to the West, heated debates about the role of government in the economy, and widespread pessimism about the future."

Kodak's Former Moment, A Lesson for You, Me and America / Companies / Technology
By: Gary_North
Kodak declared bankruptcy last week. For years, this company was visibly a dinosaur. It had no visionary leadership. The senior managers had the wrong vision. The company had lots and lots of debt, which indicates how blind its creditors were. This brief report was published by the New York Times in 2003.

Catastrophic Success, Bio-Tec Breakthrough Technology Alert / Companies / Technology
By: John_Mauldin
New readers to my musings often find it interesting, when they meet me in person, to find me quite an optimistic person, given the nature of my current predictions about the economy. And regarding the short term, defined as less than five years, my writing is admittedly less than sanguine. We do have some problems that are not easily dealt with. And even longer-term, those of a bearish natural disposition can find reasons a-plenty to tone it down.

Higgs Boson God Particle Mass for the Inflationary Universe Explained, Economic Implications / Politics / Technology
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Higgs Boson so called "God" particle has been purported to have been discovered just prior to the Christmas holidays by scientists at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It might seem rather odd that scientists have introduced 'god' into the equation, however given by the media coverage that was never apparent during the discovery of the other elementary particles, the "God" particle has proved a useful media marketing tool to promote the discovery to the mainstream media and the ordinary masses.

Electric Cars: Why Did They Fail ? / Politics / Technology
By: Andrew_McKillop
Anybody who says "They havent yet failed - because they havent yet started" only has to check out the short and born-to-fail history of Hydrogen Cars, circa 1998-2005. During that opportunity window for a
wonderful new car which would save oil and could save the planet, only badly intentioned and cynical
members of the human race could say out loud that Hydrogen Cars were born to fail. Other people,
being politically correct or only stupid, said H2 Cars were born to win. But from about 2003 or a bit
later the news was out: it was OK and alright to say Hydrogen Cars won't work. Not only high priced,
energy inefficient and overweight, but also downright and extremely dangerous - literal bombs-onwheels
made for the Bearded One in a Cave who now reposes at the bottom of the Iranian Gulf, off
Oman, by decision of Mr. Obama - who of course loves EVs.

Extraordinary Technology, Robotics - Where Are We Today? / Companies / Technology
By: Doug_Horning
Doug Hornig, Editor, Casey’s Extraordinary Technology writes: In the field of robotics, we have no Newton. No one who, assisted by a falling fruit, cried out, “Eureka, I have it, and it is called a… I know… a robot.”
No, the concept of a robot first occurred to some unknown person in some far distant time, as he or she, engaged in a grinding, repetitive task, dreamed of a mechanical contrivance that could do some of the dirty work. We know that moment was more than five hundred years ago, because we have sketchbooks from the incomparable Leonardo da Vinci, dated 1495, that contain detailed plans for one.
