September 9, 2009 by rjwylieEdward Boyden has written an article on Artificial Intelligence – referencing Marvin the paranoid android.
"A really advanced intelligence, improperly motivated, might realize the impermanence of all things, calculate that the sun will burn out in a few billion years, and decide to play video games for the remainder of its existence, concluding that inventing an even smarter machine is pointless. (A corollary of this thinking might explain why we haven't found extraterrestrial life yet: intelligences on the cusp of achieving interstellar travel might be prone to thinking that with the galaxies boiling away in just 1019 years, it might be better just to stay home and watch TV.)"

July 28, 2009 by rjwylieAs a kid I went to the cinema in 1982, or thereabouts, to see Tron the movie and loved the light cycle scene.
As luck would have it Tron Legacy is being made and is due for release in 2011. Disney have released a “concept” trailer for the movie – and I reckon that it’s looking good.

The look is obviously retro – but that’s the only way. Good to see that Jeff Bridges appears to be back as Flynn.
Mercs’ electric supercar is a gullwing
July 17, 2009 by rjwylie
Mercedes are working on a new electric supercar.
As with the classic 300SL it should be a gullwing car. The problem is that I may need a pay rise in order to afford this.
