Hand of Man Mechanical Claw
[Christian Ristow], a former Muppet creator, has created a much larger puppet that has caught the attention of Popular Mechanics. His Hand of Man is a 27 foot long remote control mechanical claw. Powered by a 90 hp diesel engine, the hydraulic system can be controlled by a glove worn by the operator. This started as a demonstration for a robotics fair, but has recently made appearances at Burning Man, Maker Faire, and had the Grand Champions seat of Popular Mechanic’s Backyard Geniuses Award. While not as practical as some robotic human augmentations, it can crush a car. [Christian]…

Facebook Attempts To Spark Privacy Revolution, Will The People Follow?
Facebook’s most recent feature announcement about the new granular publisher controls received a lot of attention for being a move against Twitter. We’ve been covering the drawn out battle between Facebook and Twitter for months now but what’s more important is the immense amount of control that Facebook is attempting to give the user. While Facebook has been criticized on numerous instances for aggressive new features that push the limits of access to our friends’ information (news feed, beacon, etc), the company is trying to hand control over to the user rather than giving them the twitter-like option of private…

The Stock Market is Not an Easy Game
Trading equities in the stock market can be a risky and /or profitable endeavor. In this recent contraction in the economy it is also a very tempting idea. The lures of riches and the “prestige” of being a stock market operator are sometimes irresistible. If only it were just a matter of signing on with a broker and getting started buying and selling. Fact is, if it were that easy everyone would be doing it. When a person first gets started it’s very possible he will have a few lucky trades and make some money. This only goes to fuel…
