Pulling for Kylie
Pop diva Kylie Minogue, the petite Aussie bombshell with that invaluable combo of kittenish sex appeal and girl-next-door manner, has got breast cancer, according to this report. Damn. I hope the lady pulls through and goes on entertaining us for years to come. One of the things I like about her is that unlike a lot of talentless airheads, she does not feel the need to share her views on world peace, hunger, or the evil of capitalism with us. She is a total pro who focusses on her music.
Be tough, Kylie.

PORTLAND, Ore. Robots at Cornell University are making copies of themselves without human intervention. In principle, the machines will thus be able to repair and reproduce themselves in space and other remote environments.“Our self-replicating robots perform very simple tasks compared with intricacies in biological reproduction,” said engineer Hod Lipson, a Cornell assistant professor. “But we think they demonstrate that mechanical self-reproduction is possible and not unique to biology.” Self-replication is sometimes seen as the holy grail of robotics.
A video of this is fascinating, if a bit creepy.
