iRock- the power generating rocking chair

from core77: We have added... a generator that transforms the movement into power. We have equipped the iRock with an iPad stand and a set of built-in speakers in the back rest. Over the last couple years, we have come to depend on an increasing amount of technical gadgets...
The iRock is a product that explores how furniture can interact with technology and actually support the power for this technology. Movement is energy and to collect as much of this energy as possible is one of our future challenges.

Skyrim's 'Dragonborn' DLC is official

Although dragon mounts have not been confirmed yet, the footage does clearly show a player character getting onto and flying through the sky on a dragon.

Dragonborn is out on December 4 for 1,600 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live. No word on a PC release yet, and none of Skyrim's DLC has made it to PS3 thus far.  link

Were dinosaurs destined to be big?

ScienceDaily — In the evolutionary long run, small critters tend to evolve into bigger beasts -- at least according to the idea attributed to paleontologist Edward Cope, now known as Cope's Rule. 

As for why Cope's Rule works at all, that is not very well understood, says Gene Hunt, curator in the Department of Paleobiology at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C. "It does happen sometimes, but not always," he added. The traditional idea that somehow "bigger is better" because a bigger animal is less likely to be preyed upon is naïve, Hunt says. After all, even the biggest animals start out small enough to be preyed upon and spend a long, vulnerable, time getting gigantic.
