Robot arm can catch flying objects


With its four-fingered, three-jointed hand, a new robot can catch a ball, a bottle or a tennis racket thrown in its direction in less than five-hundredths of a second. Fast-reacting robotic limbs have many potential applications. They could be used on satellites to clean up some of the space objects in orbit, or on cars to reach out and break an impact. It can be used to perform various tasks. The robots will be able to either catch or dodge objects in full motion. Click here to learn more

Chem Collective - Resources to Teach and Learn Chemistry

The Web 2.0 tool I chose was Chem Collective. I would use this tool in chemistry for Ms. Sistarenik's class. I would specfically use it for virtual labs, simulations, visualizations, tutorials, and auto-graded problems. It will help me learn the content and lessons that I am learning because you can revieew the information in interactive labs, tests, online courses, and you can even watch tutorials. This app is an alternative for textbooks, homework, and reviews. Click here to try it out!

IPhone bug leaves emails vulnerable

Apple said it encodes email attachments you receive on your iPhone or iPad, but reasearchers have discovered that it doesn't. German security expert Andreas Kurtz discovered that anyone in possession of your Apple device might be able to access the files sent to you via email, even if your phone is locked. It's a major security flaw. When you lock your phone, the email attachments in your phone are supposed to be locked as well. However, even if hackers manage to grab your phone, hook it up to a computer and bypass the passcode that locks your entire device, they still aren't supposed to be able to read the files. Email attachment files are a jumbled mess of letters and numbers unless you unlock the whole phone.

Do Now 5/7/14

Social media advice for career-minded students. 10 things to consider reflection:

• After reading this article I realized how important it is to give yourself a good reputation. When strangers look at your profile, the content is what defines you. You don't want people's perception of you to be negative.
• We need to be careful with what we put on our profile's because anyone can read it. 
• I agree that profanity needs to stop and this generation should not be retweeting or posting pictures of it.
• Lastly, we do live in a society where looking at and taking pictures of yourself is very common. It is okay to take a picture of yourself, everyone as done it. However, our generation has been so caught up in what everyone else thinks of you, and it should not be that way.
