Submitted by

Gugo writes: "German based company FESTO had develop a bionic arm. The difference? It uses muscles emulation, with a product called "fluidic muscle". Is like a normal animal-human muscle but moved instead of blood by air running inside. The capabilities of this muscle are rapid response,small size,very simple to assembly and easy to control. Also in the website they show fluidic muscles in gamers application with a car race simulator. It seems at comparative low cost against similar devices. Films of this applications you can find there.

Submission + - Serious IE7 div layer rendering bug

We haven't seen too much mention of this bug online except for a few people saying "should be fixed in beta 2." We were wondering if anyone else has been struggling with this (we can't be the only ones!), and what they are doing about it. More importantly, what can we do to get Microsoft's attention to fix the problem? The write-up of our results with code and usable examples is here."

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
