The work of Ed Fairburn

An illustration graduate, Ed paints, draws and constructs using a flexible range of tangible media across a wide range of surfaces and contexts, allowing his practice to exist across various disciplines. The work he produces is largely self-directed, allowing him to explore a wealth of ideas and concepts which need to be realized.

Protesters try to storm German, British embassies in Sudan:

As if it wasn’t bad enough blaming the USA as a whole for this ridiculous, vile film, it seems that some people in Sudan are now targetting the British and German embassies.

This is the Nautilus laser, an early energy weapon designed to shoot down incoming artillery rounds. Laser guns are finally moving from the laboratory to the real world. But they are hardly the super-weapons of science fiction.

US: Torture and Rendition to Gaddafi’s Libya

A file folder found after the fall of Tripoli in a building belonging to the Libyan external security services containing faxes and memos between the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Libyan Intelligence Service. You can read some of those documents here.

Not only did the US deliver Gaddafi his enemies on a silver platter but it seems the CIA tortured many of them first. The scope of Bush administration abuse appears far broader than previously acknowledged and underscores the importance of opening up a full-scale inquiry into what happened.

Read more after the jump.

Microsoft patents Holodeck-like 'immersive display experience' for your living room:

I want this.

Described as an “immersive display experience,” the concept is to expand the game past the edges of your television — so you’ll still have a primary display, but the system will project images all around you to create a more realistic experience.

“I certainly want [my readers] to think like scientists – to think critically, skeptically – but I also want them to be imbued with the poetry of the universe, the poetry of reality, which is what science is.”

- Richard Dawkins, echoing the famous words of Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan, in this great BBC 4 Radio interview.

Also see Dawkins’s The Magic of Reality, a children’s book debunking religious mythology with the awe of science.

Why broadcasters like Andrew Marr think they are the news:
