NASA unveils Valkyrie, a 6-foot 2-inch, 275-pound rescue robot. The 'bot, the winner of the DARPA Robotics Challenge, a contest designed to find the life-saving robot of tomorrow, will soon undergo a test to see if it can perform tasks like climbing a ladder and using tools. Valkyrie uses its three-fingered hands to manipulate objects, and it's loaded with cameras and sensors so it can eventually operate as autonomously as possible. Hopefully, this turns out to be a great device to help us with space exploration and more.

What's another way we can organize your computers? What about email? Your Favorite Websites? Your Blog Posts? RSS Feeds?

There are many ways to organize our computers. One way we can organize our computers is folders. Probably the most simple to way to find our stuff. For email, we can select the emails to go to the category they should be in like in gmail for example: Primary, Social, and Promotion. As for favorite websites, we can add the website into the Bookmark Tool Bar under the address bar so we can click on it no matter what page we are on. As for Blog Posts, We can also simply add it to the Tool Bar or depending on where you do your blogs on, you can add it to apps. And finally for RSS Feeds we can use a great website called Digg to find everything we want in one place. There are so many great options for us to organize everything with the tools and websites we have today.

China Test New Stealth Drone

China's new stealth drone flew for the first time, according to Chinese state media. The drone is an unmanned flying wedge, similar to American flying wedges like the RQ-170 and the U.S. Navy's experimental X-47B. It bears a striking resemblance to Russia's MiG Skat drone. Named Li Jan, or "Sharp Sword", the drone is suppose to be invisible to a UAV and is a huge step for China's military.

Twitter would be great for education! Twitter is a world of information. You can find many educational pages on twiter with variety of subjects. Most of the time the data is there. It could just be a matter of finding it. Students are able to ask questions and receive answers in real-time. Teachers, in an effort to stay more connected to their students, may set up Twitter accounts specifically for engaging in educational discussion.Twitter can also be used to quickly connect to multimedia resources (e.g. YouTube or Vine) and turn education much more interesting! Most of all Twitter is brief and to-the-point makes for an easy use of learning. I Think its a great idea and we should start using it more.
