The Mysterious Apple Power Charger Patent Revealed

Yeah, yeah, so the pic below doesn’t look like much. Sorry, alright? ‘Twas lifted from a patent recently scored by Apple. According to available sources, it’s a clever upgrade of iOS device/laptop peripherals for the sake of improving security. In short, you can use a charger to recall a password thanks to a memory chip installed in the, uh, charger. Sounds simple, but it might hint at future possibilities with Apple products.

Now this is freaking cool. Take one of those generic tins for breath mints and instead of putting in stuff that will make your mouth frosty, insert electronic parts. This is the Minty Geek, a small container being marketed by a startup for the DIY-inclined. It’s like a miniature tool box for instant hacks big and/or small. Wait until you learn the origin story behind Minty Geek–it’s so compelling, some studio should make a movie about it. There you go again, over-dramatizing the mundane!

DARPA Picks Its Commander Shepard For Impossible Mission

Posted: 08 Jan 2012 01:20 PM PST

In case you missed it that’s a Mass Effect reference/plug right there on the title. The folks at Bioware should be mighty proud if they read it. Anyway, favorite video game-fanboyism aside, DARPA has indeed selected a former female astronaut to be the head of its 100 year Starship initiative. The goal is to create a longstanding foundation that will eventually culminate in a manned space odyssey in the future. The distant future, before either the machines take over or humanity regresses. Seen below is Mae Jameson, who went up to space more than 20 years ago. Since then she’s kept busy with her own foundation. The gal is an overachiever, that’s for sure.
